A growing wave of targeted police killings

JAZZ SHAW 

 

 

 

In Bristol, Connecticut this week, two police officers were murdered and a third was wounded by gunfire in what was clearly an ambush after a phony 911 call was received. Thankfully, the wounded police officer, rather than retreating, returned fire and killed the attacker, saving the public the bother of a trial. This would obviously be grim news under any circumstances, but the attack does not appear to be just some random, one-off act by a maniac.

 

Police are being attacked around the United States, often fatally, in numbers that haven’t been seen in many years. According to a report this week from the Associated Press, the number of American police officers being killed in the line of duty is rising at rates that almost certainly can’t be coincidental. Police deaths of this type in 2022 are already up by 14% over last year and by a staggering 45% over the same period in 2020, when riots and violence were filling the streets all through the summer. A deadly and disturbing pattern seems to be emerging, just as police officers have been quitting or taking early retirement in droves.

Nobody is suggesting that this is some sort of murderous scheme that’s been plotted out at the national level and was centrally organized. But the pattern that’s been emerging is impossible to ignore. So what is driving this homicidal tide against the thin blue line? We simply can’t ignore the societal shift that has taken place in certain segments of American society.

 

Politicians who continually blame the police for society’s ills and describe them as unrepentant racists and corrupt actors have obviously fed into this toxic mix. Criminal justice “reform” efforts that place more value on the lives of criminals than victims clearly seem to have emboldened the bad actors in society. When cable news talking heads spend all of their time bellowing about how “evil” or “dangerous” the police are, some of those who are receptive to such a message will inevitably act upon it. And this applies to all aspects of governance. Look no further than the demonization of the conservative Supreme Court justices which was kept at a fever pitch for weeks until someone with a gun showed up at Brett Kavanaugh’s house hoping to assassinate him.

 

So what, if anything, can be done about it? First of all, we should keep in mind that when you lower the cost of breaking any laws, you get more of that sort of crime. (Look no further than the years of massive looting in California following the state’s decriminalization efforts.) The same applies to the murder of law enforcement officers.

Dem Pollster Stanley Greenberg: How Democrats Mishandled Crime:

 

The most effective issue for Republicans in this midterm is a result of Democratic elites failing to understand what their diverse base of working-class voters wants.

Also, the diverse base of working-class voters is now pretty much the GOP base, not the Democrats’ base.

Democrats are the party of billionaires, woke white gentry class people, and, decreasingly, their poverty-stricken client groups.

Yeah, Dems are soft on crime - nice talking point SIMP.

 

Meanwhile, not even the DEATH PENALTY in RED STATES can deter crime while RED STATES have the HIGHEST rates of violent crime over blue states.

 

Oh, and I wonder why...

 

 

Idiots

If Dems hadn’t shackled the death penalty to the point where it takes a decade to carry out then you might have a point. 
 

Effective and expanded death penalty and mass incarceration would solve our crime problems inside of a year.

Always gotta blame someone even when you’re failing.
 

Dems have nothing to do with the death penalty.

An exemplar of why you should ignore any arguments from progressives on reducing criminal penalties that reference "deterrence." 

 

Quote

On July 21, 2020, Deandre Carter was driving a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander SUV at a high rate of speed westbound on Page Boulevard when he used the shoulder to pass another car. He clipped the side of that car in the process of passing it, then swerved onto the other side of the road and into oncoming traffic.

Carter collided head-on with a Nissan Altima being driven by Paige Walker, 28, with her mother, Shirley Brown-Walker, riding in the passenger seat. Walker was killed in the crash, while Brown-Walker was injured but survived.

 

Once convicted of a crime involving egregiously gross disregard for human life and the commission of multiple felonies, surely you, the normal person, would be contrite and understand that you had deeply violated the social contract, no?

"I just got a life sentence for a car accident?" Carter said after sentencing.
 

 

If he can't even wrap his head around a basic understanding of what he's done, what "deterrent" do you think will work on him?

I’m positive he stole that car and drove recklessly because mayor Pete’s confirmed racist highways.
