Sowell: The War on Cops
Creators Syndicate ^ | July 12, 2016 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 07/11/2016 1:34:24 PM PDT by jazusamo

There was never a more appropriately named book than "The War on Cops" by Heather Mac Donald, published a few weeks ago, on the eve of the greatest escalation of that war by the ambush murders of five policemen in Dallas.

Nor is this war against the police confined to Dallas. It is occurring across the country. Who is to blame?

There is a ton of blame, more than enough to go around to the wide range of people and institutions that have contributed to these disasters. In addition to the murderers who have killed people they don't even know, there are those who created the atmosphere of blind hatred in which such killers flourish.

Chief among those who generate this poisonous atmosphere are career race hustlers like Al Sharpton and racist institutions like the "Black Lives Matter" movement. All such demagogues need is a situation where there has been a confrontation where someone was white and someone else was black. The facts don't matter to them.

The same is true of the more upscale, genteel and sophisticated race panderers, including the President of the United States. During his first year in the White House, Barack Obama chastised a white policeman over his handling of an incident with a black professor at Harvard — after admitting that he didn't know the specific facts.

Here are the NeverTrumpers over at the National Review. They deicated an entire issue to attacking Trump. Note the second to the last "editor".

Cal Thomas was a big disappointment too.

So many globalist moles have infested the Republican/Conservative movement for so many decades.

It’s ONLY because of Donald Trump that these vermin have been made to come out from their stealth mode, exposed as the traitors to Liberty and to our country that they are.

They’re all done in my book. I used to like and respect all of them. I will not be following their writings any longer.

Well yeah, tragic what happened in Dallas and the libs are to blame, but still I get sick of the five-oh being lazy, acting above the law and giving The (only) Black lives matter bowel movement ammo to cause a riot. The problem is too much communist infiltration. Its even worse in New York and Los Angeles.

My sons who are into politics are big fans of Sowell, and that makes me proud.
