“...moderation is the only thing that can teach the left to tone the hate down.”
Is the “progressive” left learning? Or just smirking at us and taking advantage of our merciful and moderate responses to their continually escalating outrages?
There is an interesting parallel, here, between criminals and their liberal apologists.
Ask any cop, and he’ll tell you: much of the stress experienced by the police comes from arresting the same perps, over and over, only to see them let back on the streets by liberal judges, plea deals and a revolving door justice system.
There most obviously is an incorrigible core, but it probably wouldn’t abate for anything we can secularly do under the constitution.
What can be drained away is the seething hate contributed by hangers-on, which is most of who actually shows up at these BLM demonstration/riots.
It isn’t about that police chief or the osculation of his arse anyhow. It’s bigger than he is. I’d been thinking a suitable reply might be on the order of “On behalf of all the sworn officers of the USA, imperfect though they are, I’d like to see you make a public call for BLM, whatever its grievances, to stop the hate and fury all over this country — hate and fury that will never improve the relations between these officers and people of any color. Now that would be the right thing to do.”
