The Dog That Didn't Bark

Sometimes, what doesn't happen is the most important thing. 

 

In the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump, many in the mainstream media pointed a finger at...Trump...for raising the temperature of the political rhetoric. They quickly insinuated that Trump's followers, who have been labeled "domestic terrorists" and "white supremacists" would roam the streets looking for revenge. 

 

This is beyond ironic, since the president who they claim is trying to bring this country together has predicated his entire campaign--and the one in 2020, and much of his presidency--on the assertion that Donald Trump is an existential threat to America, akin to Hitler, that his supporters are terrorists, and he is intent on becoming a dictator.

It wasn't the Reichstag fire, and it wasn't Antifa after almost any event that the left doesn't like. Republicans stood strong, stood together, and prayed for peace. 

 

The fact that Republicans and MAGA are, for the most part, middle-class people who want to recognize their country again and not feel constantly beset by people bent on "decolonizing," "queering," or "fundamentally transforming" our country is reflected in how we are comporting ourselves in this time of extreme stress. 

 

Don't get me wrong. Republicans and MAGA supporters are angry, sometimes furious, about what is going on in this country. Trump has tapped into that outrage, and it is a source of his political strength. 

 

But the anger isn't directed into violence, but political activism and support for a movement to restore sanity to our country. Nobody is plotting to "eliminate" Democrats, as has been suggested about Trump.

Ferguson Police Chief Lets Loose After Officer Assaulted by Protestors, Fighting for His Life

By Susie Moore

 

Some wounds take a long time to heal. And some never really do. A decade after Michael Brown's death and the ensuing unrest, Ferguson, Missouri, sadly falls into the latter category. On Friday, the 10-year anniversary of that fateful incident, I shared an article reflecting on the incident and the radio documentary my cohorts at FTRRadio/"Q With a View" and I put together in the months following it.

 

Friday evening, protesters were back on the streets of Ferguson. The police department gave them room to protest, as you'll see and hear Police Chief Troy Doyle explain in the video below. 

 

But that wasn't enough. The crowd became violent and started destroying property. And when the chief sent officers out to start making arrests, one of the protesters charged Officer Travis Brown (no relation to Michael Brown), knocking him backward and causing him to strike his head and sustain a serious head injury. Officer Brown is in an area hospital, fighting for his life.

 

Saturday afternoon, Chief Doyle gave a press conference in which he was joined by St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell —who just won the Democratic primary to replace Rep. Cori Bush (D) and represent Missouri's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday. 

 

Bell expressed his condolences and his own concerns about what had transpired before announcing the charges being pursued against the perpetrators. But it was Chief Doyle's impassioned plea to the community — his palpable frustration and anguish — that really struck a chord and deserve to be heard far and wide.

I doubt they'd say Republicans but would say they're not Democrats.
