Given the data on police shootings:
… roughly 49 percent of those killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 were white, while 30 percent were black. He also found that 19 percent were Hispanic and 2 percent were Asian and other races.
I’ve assumed the recently ginned up #BlackLivesMatters was just useful idiots of the left being agitated by Obama to mobilize the black vote through amygdala agitation, and that was why we saw all of this:
Hours before the murders of five police officers in Dallas, Texas, President Obama was again spouting false claims about racism by the police. He sees racism whenever there is any disparity in outcomes, no matter what the cause…
After the Trayvon Martin case, there were numerous cases around the country of blacks attacking whites and invoking Martin’s name.
Let’s not forget that NYPD cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were executed by a black man who was angry about the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
Obama and his administration spoke out repeatedly on the Martin and Brown cases. They repeatedly claimed racism was involved, but in fact there’s no evidence of that in either case.
If the liberals kill fifty or a hundred cops in the process, “Oh, well…” To a leftist, so long as liberals get elected, those Police Officers in coffins don’t amount to anything important.
That is probably the primary motivator. But there might be another goal as well. Leftists like federally-controlled local police. Autonomous local cops, who live in the community they police and thus tend to care for it, can be a pain in the ass when Fedguv shows up and starts barking orders to fuck over the local citizenry. As this article on the War on Police noted:
… a principal goal of the Left is to nationalize the police function. Fitzgerald offered some examples of nationalized police forces, including the Cheka of the Soviet Union and the Gestapo in National Socialist Germany.
On Wednesday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced at the United Nations that her office would be working in several American cities to form what she called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe…
This internationalist character was brought to the fore by the fact that the Strong Cities Network was launched on September 29 not at the White House or the Department of Homeland Security, or at the FBI headquarters or anywhere else that might be fitting for a national project, but at the United Nations…
The DoJ presser noted that at the launch of the Strong Cities Network, “welcoming remarks” would be offered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City. The involvement of New York City’s Marxist internationalist mayor is yet another warning sign.
Notice the welcoming remarks weren’t from the head of Interpol, or some other K-strategist sworn Law Enforcement officer who actually went out and chased bad guys. It was a gaggle of cowardly leftist shitbags, who see themselves issuing orders to local law enforcement, who will then jump to execute their edicts, because they will be the boss and local LE will be their direct subordinate.
President Barack Obama is harnessing the increasing attacks on police in Dallas — and the periodic shootings of people by stressed cops — to push his agenda to federalize state and local police forces.
As I look at that, I can’t figure out whether #blacklivesmatters was about motivating black voters to get to the polls, or a stab at creating a false crisis so Obama could try and increase federal control and authority over local law enforcement. One wonders why the leftists of Fedguv are so determined to be able to tell local Police exactly what to do.
If I were local LE, I’d be looking over my shoulder up until Obama is out of office, and not just for the #blacklivesmatters pricks.
[…] #BlackLivesMatters – Obama Getting Cops Killed, Or Federalizing Local Police? […]
Like everything else Obama does, he will fail. Cops don’t want to be feds. If you want to be a non-FBI fed, it’s easy nowdays. The ones who want to be feds already are.
More importantly, it’s a political non-starter. “If you want to professionalize, you have to federalize.” And then we got the TSA, the most hated federal agency in existence. Not even the current Fed cops will go along, because they don’t want an even BIGGER TSA smearing them by association.
I don’t think there is any ulterior motive at all for Obama’s support of blm. It seems to just be a natural consequence of the delusional liberal ideology. There isn’t much indication that Obama has the competence or savvy to achieve positive political outcomes with the kind of scheming you assume he’s up to. But moreso, it’s not his particular flavor of evil. His flaw isn’t that he is some shadowy plotting villain.
His neurosis is his Messiah complex. He truly believe he is enlightened; more moral, more sophisticated, than all who built the country he now pretends to lead. It’s just the normal liberal snobbery you talk about, although amplified by the feedback of his undeserved political successes (at achieving office, that is). No, Obama supports blm for the reasons that the other white liberals do (he’s more white than black), plus his black persona that compels him to show support, plus his delusion that he will finish the work started by Lincoln in setting the oppressed people free.
What is going on with blm right now is a disaster for him, and for the attempt to get Hillary placed in office. The silent majority is really disgusted by this. blm just might get Trump elected. I don’t that it was some movement plotted from above, and to the extent that they encourage and protected the movement, they are paying hell in blowback now. Even if Obama is plotting some intrigue, it’s probably not worth spending too much energy to analyze or counter it. He is most likely to hoist his own petard.
