It's election season, and there's a video of a cop shooting a mentally ill old black woman who was trying to throw boiling water on them. The usual arguments are happening of course, but it's not dominating the news like it normally would.
Two possibilities stick out to me as plausible.
One is that the Dems and their mouthpieces in the MSM are sitting and waiting to push this story at the right moment, as they've calculated that it isn't a good time to make it go viral yet. While the other possibility is that they've simply dropped the BLM shit because even their own voters are sick and tired of it, which the election of Eric Adams over Maya Wiley among many other developments was already indicative of.
The fact that Kamala has a record as a "tough on crime" DA and AG and was roasted by her own side for trying to ride the BLM wave probably makes it next to impossible for Dems to promote chimpouts with her as their candidate.
I've definitely noticed an angle to the gender war among blacks being that black women are more apt to be stridently pro-cop (God help anyone who's ever at the mercy of a black female cop btw), and to say the quiet part out loud about how black male criminals won't stop unless you're ruthless with them. Considering that black men probably despise Kamala as the epitome of a bossy black woman, and how Trump is a felon who was shot at, I have to wonder how that'll affect the black male vote - not that I'm holding my breath.
Now that black girl magic boss babe police brutality is the hot new thang, white women are also feeling emboldened to say the quiet part out loud. "Karen" doesn't really work anymore either. I've long believed that Western police states would ultimately ground their legitimacy in feminist rhetoric, of course that's already blatantly been the case in the UK for a long time so it's not like I'm Nostradamus here.
Plus VAWA was in and of itself a huge expansion of the American police state. Funnily enough, back in the day Biden got Bernie to vote for the 94 crime bill by pairing it with VAWA, and Bernie supporters talk about that like it was a dirty trick, but if you really think about it, Biden was being the more logically consistent one, since VAWA and the crime bill both meant more blacks in prison LOL!
BLM is in disarray after many of its grifter leaders cashed out to buy mansions.
White people are also really sick of that shit to the point potentially radical blowback is a serious possibility. See how Scott Adams's comments generated a lot of agreement, for example.
Then there is the Palestine problem. A lot of BLM types see Jews as White colonizers and therefore are pro-Palestine. They don't want that segment emboldened right now.
That's probably it, their useful idiots have now become a liability, as even shown when Netanyahu praised some college jocks for defending the US flag in his speech.
Everywhere they can step, there are landmines of their OWN creation so they can't make the same moves as 2016 or 2020 without setting them off. I doubt there will even be another presidential debate as Trump would decimate her as her only argument is 'ABORTION!' and Trump can just say 'yeah left that to states to choose hey aren't you the border czar fir the past 4 years?'
Arch is absolutely right here.
Basically, the whole Black-Racialist system has been fairly up-ended by BLM's major corruption. They're being criminally investigated because they never really "shared the wealth" when it came to those donations. They just straight pocketed all that money. As a result, there is no logistical system to support it.
I would secondly point out that a "Summer Of Love", 155 consecutive days of race rioting would do more to hurt the incumbent rather than help. Trump literally got blamed by some normies for causing the race riots, despite having nothing to do with it. That is the level of guilt by association that some normies will develop, and it can easily fall back on to Harris.
exactly this. the race grift is smoldering. "if you don't subjugate yourself with donations to black people, then you're racist" doesn't carry the same weight now as the media got it to in 2020. far too many people were stuck with a broom up their asses as they realized they became victims of politically motivated financial fraud.
and the racism update patch is broken right now. they're busy with the cognitive dissonance of trying to reconcile which narrative to prioritize:
I honestly think people are sick of whiny black people and the Dems know riots would really piss people off. Kamala also helped raise bail funds for rioting thugs during summer of love
BLM is a Democrat operation.
They pulled the string. They organized everything. The BLM "leaders" are just tools. It's the Dem's weapon. They're not going to use it against themselves.
To be clear, BLM only works against whoever is in power at the time.
If Harris tries to stir up anti-White, anti-police sentiment with an incident like this, even Blacks will notice that Trump had nothing to do with it. They might even make the connection that Harris is the one that puts Blacks in prison, not Trump.
So there will be no BLM this year. Instead, they'll have to try to convince everyone that things are great, actually, and that there's no reason for change.
A shooting is a too quick death. What they really need a long drawn-out struggle on the public street that bystanders can film without context. Police bodycam video doesn't help because they post the full thing.
Honestly, I doubt it’s hard to find actual police brutality against anyone of any race. The left seems to latch on the the most ridiculous “cases” possible because they are insane. A mentally ill person is at least sympathetic to a normal person and multiple convicted crack head isn’t.
I guess the media choose the most insane cases to shift the Overton window(if I’m using that correctly) to be more sympathetic to horrible people.
It's not because they're insane. It's because it's a humiliation ritual and allegiance indicator rolled into one. If it was a sympathetic victim, you'd get people on all sides who agree it was wrong. By picking the shittiest people to deify, you ensure that the vocal supporters are your own people and get to rub it in the face of your enemies.
It's because Elon bought Twitter, so we have a way to immediately point out what actually happened at every potential BLM martyr event and we don't get silenced by jannies/algorithms.
Honestly, I'm one of the few people that actually thinks this shooting was "Awful but lawful". Video
He was allowed to shoot her for being attacked with scalding water. He was attacked with scalding water, for some reason, people aren't seeing this in the badge cam. He didn't shoot until that happened.
Where he looks guilty as fuck is his attitude. He was initially quite abrasive because she didn't answer the door. His attitude didn't get better as they went into the house, which he didn't have to do. He asked for an ID, rather than just letting her spell out her name. She didn't need to give him an ID. When she said "I rebuke you in the name of jesus", he said he'd shoot her in the fucking face (which is word for word exactly what he did), and isn't necessarily a threat by itself. When she ducked down, he pursued her and got close, rather than just backing off and leaving.
He really was on full "predator drive" mode the entire time. He took every step to escalate a situation's tension, without ever taking a single step back. He was looking for a reason to put her in prison. He's literally the reason I don't call cops: I don't want him anywhere near an emergency situation because he's looking to go after me the second he arrives on scene, even if I'm the victim, because I inconvenienced him with my emergency.
However, there was no murder here, and there was no cover-up. He's likely going to get convicted because he's a cunt.
It doesn’t look like she “attacked” him at all. It looked more like she spilled it in confusion while trying to pour it out after he screamed at her to put the pot down before she was even holding it. At absolutely no point was the cop in any danger at all, and I personally don’t believe he was even justified in pulling out his gun at all let alone firing it. I’m a big ol racist misogynist but this cop is a fucking menace to society and I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life for this pointless murder of an innocent woman in her own home.
His prior record agrees with you. Him still being on the force for this incident to happen is proof of how impossible it is to actually get fired as a cop no matter how bad you are.
Check out the body cam again. The moment he fired, she'd already lept up from the ground and was throwing the pot. She didn't spill it at all. She threw it. If you watch the body cam footage of the shooting officer, you can see between his fore-arms that she jumps up, grabs the pot, and throws it at him. The pot itself comes to a rest on the chair in front of him, with steam pouring off it.
The cop was in danger when she was holding boiling water, but he was far enough away that he would have been fine where he stayed. Pulling the gun is actually a good idea in this case, because the range of the gun is superior to that of the pot. But, once he approached her, after she ducked down, he ended up putting himself in danger (also his partner flagged the shit out of him). Approaching her was not really the right call in that situation.
I'm in agreement here. She clearly caused what was coming to her, but only because the cops have the right of way everytime, even if being retarded, legally.
The cop overreacted early on and turned the situation up to 11, which is how it proceeded to the place it was. Just because you can act like a fucking chimpout, doesn't mean you should.
Also yeah, he was near instantly charged for it. So there wasn't enough to build a grift story off of him.
Honestly, I think this is the primary problem. I think the cop was actually looking to try and get something on her to take her to jail. He probably thought she was a drug user that wasted his time, and he was gonna get payback on that, he started doing fucky little things that cops tend to do when they want you to incriminate yourself. I don't think he wanted to shoot her, but I think he would have been glad if she threw a punch so he could cart her off to jail. Effectively, he was looking for a "chimpout" and he got one.
I think that's probably accurate enough. You don't just go 0 to "I'll fucking shoot you in the face" without already being worked up before you even enter.
Especially as, all things equal, the correct choice would have been to tell her to back away from the stove and himself turn the stove off of boil. Him demanding she do it and then acting terrified that she was then going to attack him with a weapon he told her to get rid of is basically setting her up for failure.
Honestly, he could have just said, "You know what, fuck this" and left. The purpose of the interaction was already over.
I feel like because she was the one that called and he was on record as "responding" he probably had to get some information to close the whole thing on before he could realistically leave.
Based on my history with domestic violence calls (not me) they at least have to get a name and info before they can say fuck it.
I see this point and if she indeed threw the pot at him, that might be enough justification. Then again, I don't know if it's possible for him to get off a la the Daniel Shaver case, since the victim is black.
It's probably not. One of the reasons they tell cops not to curse is because you'd better fucking believe that the prosecutors will use it as a weapon against you in court. And in this case, he specifically threatened to shoot her in the face, which he then proceeded to do. I don't even think he intended to shoot her in the head specifically, he just intended to shoot her in that moment. None of that changes the lethality of the shooting, mind you. However, a jury is going to look at that an it's going to sound like Mens Rea (having a criminal mind).
Even in a legitimate, private, self-defense case. You don't want to say crazy shit like, "Yup, I shot that faggot in the head and his skull popped like a freakin' watermelon... ha ha ha!" The prosecutor will try to get you on murder charges with nothing more than that. I understand that people act weird during shootings, but that's not going to be convincing to a jury made up of 50 year old eggless white women who unironically called themselves Cuomosexuals a few years ago. That would be a lynching jury. They might honestly convict you for saying the word "faggot" alone.
Too much shit going on and a black woman took the Dem's presidential ticket away from an old white man in a coup so the narrative isn't narrating as well.
PRO TIP: When cops are at your house, don't threaten to throw pots of boiling water at them.
A Democrat is in office, so the chimpouts are limited to foreigners burning American flags over some fight 1000's of miles away.
Sort of like the homeless cleanup story here, I think they're trying to keep things somewhat orderly before the election.
They're potentially going to be fighting against a few arguments soon: rogue district attorneys promoting lawlessness and loose immigration laws being hazardous. If there aren't any big riots or other alien crime stories, the public may be less agreeable to the arguments.
It would mean Biden is a bad president. It can only happen if a Republican is in charge.
BLM's star has fallen. The leaders cashed out to their mansions and the DNC stopped answering their calls. There won't be any chimpout this year unless Trump wins.
Alex Soros is putting too much money into VP Cackles presidential campaign.
If he follows his father's template and funds the burning down of blue cities again that investment is wasted.
George Floyd was a perfect opportunity that the media has been salivating for for over a decade. Every year (and even in 2020) they tried to elevate a shooting or death into a full riot. 99% of the time there's some factor that makes it abundantly clear to normies that it isn't worth the riot.
To be fair, even George Floyd had numerous factors that made this not a big deal. First and foremost, if you can yell "I can't breathe" then... you can breathe. He was committing a crime (passing counterfeit bills) and had a lengthy criminal history. But the optics were so bad the story went viral and any attempt to point out these facts just got you labeled as "part of the problem."
This case is different in a key way: no one is trying to defend the cop.
In a way, the key part of a PERFECT SITUATION is to find a cop in a position where the media can run with a narrative of police brutality AND enough people try to counter the narrative. This has the counterintuitive effect of making the story even bigger and swelling the false narrative. This pattern doesn't happen when the cop is CLEARLY in the wrong. It proves the system works. No outrage.
There's a lot of scheming and maneuvering that makes these events pop up in the national discourse.
Optics. Sure they control the media. But its gonna be tough for kamala to decide on what to do if blm chimps out. If she doesnt do anything, she looks weak. If she does something, it might offend some blacks.
This might be our armed robbery, soon to be followed by fentinol floyd.
