Princeton University is guilty as sin!
Institutional racism, like the theorized “dark matter” of the universe, is everywhere, we just can’t see it. But, as scientists speculate, it’s got to be there. What else would account for racially “disparate outcomes.”
No one does mea culpa like academia. So there is the president Princeton University publishing an open letter to faculty and students promising to combat “systemic racism” at his Ivy League school, which is not exactly the Falwells’ Liberty College to begin with.
This is why we love U.S. Attorney General Bob Barr. His Justice Department quickly responded to Princeton’s virtue-signaling president.
“You said ‘racism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton . . .’ and that ‘racist assumptions . . . remain embedded in structures of the University itself.‘ Are you saying that the college’s assurances of equal treatment before the law “may have been false”?
The Wall Street Journal reports that Justice “has asked Princeton for a spreadsheet identifying each person who may have been subject to discrimination and warned that colleges found to violate Title VI civil-rights protections could be fined and forfeit federal funds.
“The serious, even shocking nature of Princeton’s admissions compel the Department to move with all appropriate speed.”

Demonizing the police
In today’s WI State Journal, syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. tries to deflect Black on Black crime by contending that “is at least sometimes punished.” Pitts asserts that “police-on-Black crime” is seldom punished. Pitts’ mistake is assuming that such incidents were a crime. His list of Black police “victims” includes Freddie Gray of Baltimore. Six police were charged with felonies in that case — three of them black. After majority Black juries and a Black judge in four cases did not find guilt, charged were dropped against the other two.
Michael Brown of Ferguson MO? An extensive investigation determined that, trying to evade arrest after having just robbed a convenience store, Brown tried to wrest a police officer’s gun. “Hands up, don’t shoot” was an urban myth. Eric Garner? After a local grand jury refused to indict, FBI investigators and federal prosecutors determined that charges should not be brought in the case. The federal review was helmed by Barack Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch.
In other news, two killed, 14 injured in gunfight at Rochester NY party. Police not blamed.
In Chicago, 9 people were killed and 36 others were injured by gunfire this weekend. Overall, shootings and murders are up 50% compared to last year.

In a morally relativistic environment where PC feelings trump inconvenient facts,
reality always takes a back seat. This is clearly seen in the BLM Big Lie.
“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”, never happened.
But yet, BLM built their movement on it. You can ask any godless Lefty today, and they’ll tell you Michael Brown was shot in the back while he had his hands up. That’s a lie. Brown was shot in the top of his head after failing to get the officer’s gun as he lowered his head and bullrushed him.
George Floyd’s case is based on a lie, too. He had trouble breathing before anyone ever knelt on him. Newly released evidence indicate a “fatal level” of Norfentanyl, Methamphetamine and 4-ANPP was found in his bloodstream. He died of an overdose, … not asphyxiation.
Must everyone who BLM, (Burn, Loot, Murder) honors for being a victim be a drug-using, violent thug with a long violent criminal rap sheet?

Last week I was on a Liberal site, where the “woke” regularly meet to give each other verbal back rubs. One fellow was expounding on the “fact” that violent and destructive protests were the founding of America. The “Boston Tea Party” (1773) had somehow led to the “Boston Massacre” (1770), where the authorities gunned down innocent protesters. “At least that’s what (he) learned in school !” – I replied that if he went to school, he should have learned that the nine British soldiers were tried for Murder in a Boston court. Seven of them were exonerated of all charges, two were convicted of a lesser offense. Defense Counsel was John Adams, second President of the United States. Violence in the course of protesting (in this case, throwing snowballs, stones, and ice) has always been illegal. “The Boston Massacre” was the “Hands Up” of its time.

The other BS that Pitts included in his column was that people were writing him and demanding to know why he wasn’t upset by the black on black crime in Chicago. He declared that he was very upset by those crimes. Just not upset enough to write about it, or call out the gangster culture that pervades the black community.Forget poverty, that’s a red herring. The criminal, redneck culture is the real root cause of crime that cannot be mentioned.

Could we, and our friends on the left in particular, possibly talk about something besides racism?

It also is proposing to put penalty enhancers on those who while in the act of those crimes assault a police officer or another citizen. The proposed legislation also will cut off any and all state aid to communities that defund their police departments.
At least in Florida the Governor gets it.

According to Hey Jackass Chicago https://heyjackass.com/ there have been 576 murders in Chicago this year alone. Out of that number exactly 5 people have been gunned down by the police. That works out to 0.0087% of those people gunned down, stabbed, strangled or beat to death, died at the hands of the police.
A full 79% of those who died by evil means were Black. Since most people who murder, murder those who are of their race it is obvious that most of those murdered who were Black were murdered by other Black people.

All,
Consider this: https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/tulsa-bodycam-video-released-and-its-bad/. One Police Officer is dead an another is wounded as a result of one person who in a split second was able to get a gun and shoot both officers. You have no clue as to how badly things can go in such a short amount of time that may cause you to loose your life. None of us who are not Police Officers do.
Do Police make mistakes? Yes they do.
Are there racist Police Officers? Yes there are.
They are not in the majority. I have members of my family who are law enforcement on the local and federal level that give up their own time to work with kids who are disadvantaged. They couch basketball or baseball teams. They give up their own time and money to help young men who are in need of their help.
That is not the face of law enforcement you will ever see from the press but that is the reality that I have seen from members of my family.
Most in law enforcement that I have meet are there to help people, not hurt them. Think of Police Officers as Doctors. They are there to help the 12 year old girl who has just been raped by her mothers boyfriend. They are there to hold on to the hand of a dying person who has just been shot. They are there to comfort a mother and father of a boy who was just killed in a car accident. Their job is not one that I would ever want or could ever do. I am far too emotional for that work.
Most people who die at the hands of the Police do so because they are doing something that causes the Police Officer to think that their life or someone else’s life is in danger. For the most part, if they had just complied with the lawful orders of the Police they would still be alive.

I do think that the first step is to just drop the whole drug war thing and get on with dealing with true safety issues for both victims and the police who are forced to be part of this monumental stupidity. You can then start the process of protecting people from others, rather than people from themselves. By doing that, you can also start creating a community which will work with the police rather than be afraid of them, and even more importantly, afraid of those who owe their street power largely to the Drug War.

Batman, just 7 hrs after writing my reply to you about running from the police, I ran into an excellent feature story in the 9/9-15 Epoch Times about a (black) Milwaukee police officer entitled “A Milwaukee Officer’s Struggle After His Brothers Die in Conflicts With Police.” Quoting:
“The guiding rule for him has always been the one he learned as an auxiliary officer: treat others as you want to be treated. ‘Police officers meet people at their bad, if not worst, moments in their lives,’ he said. ‘So if I get you at your worst moment, I want to help you understand the situation and say some type of positivity, so that you will say, ‘You know what, I think he was right,’ or ‘You know what, I want to thank him for sharing that with me.’
Edwards recalled one such positive interaction with a man in custody. The man allegedly had hit his girlfriend, and police were sent out to arrest him, but he ran. Police caught him after a foot chase. At the police station, Edwards asked him why he ran. The man told him ‘I thought it was the worst thing to go to jail, so I ran.’ Edwards explained that hitting his girlfriend was a misdemeanor, but resisting arrest is a felony offense. The man said: ‘Man, I didn’t know that. Police, you know, didn’t explain it to me before. They just usually tell me to shut up.’ ‘Because I took the time to speak with him and treat him like the human being he was, he really appreciated it,’ Edwards said.”

Nice encouraging anecdote Amos and one that I wish was more the norm than an outlier, if it is. Notice how the perp was civil enough to have a conversation whereas the encounters currently spinning out of control are not like this story at all. Add in the anarchists, lying MSM/academia, and every deadly resisting arrest incident becomes a reason to riot and pillage, at least if the perp is black and especially so if the officer is white.
A significant investment in K-9 units so that a majority of officers patrolled with them would likely reduce bolting from cops considerably. I believe most city budgets could handle this without raising taxes but with reallocation of existing funds instead. This is certainly true in Madison. There is always much unnecessary fat to trim from virtually any budget, just comes down to priorities.
