Baton Rouge Police Department Officers Montrell Jackson, Brad Garafola, Matthew Gerald, stalked, ambushed and killed by black suspect.
It’s the customary Barack Hussein Obama response whenever guns are used in violence: gun control. We need more gun control. It’s the standard Mark I, Model I retort for Obama and Leftists and Demorats. We need more gun control — though in the bulk of these cases the suspects did not violate the law and would not have otherwise been able to be stopped. “More gun control” simply penalizes one group of persons: the law abiding, not the law breaking. This simple fact completely eludes the deluded.
There should therefore be truck control for France, pressure cooker control for Massachusetts and knife control for much of the rest of the world.
Pause here for just a moment.
Let’s envision a gun-free US. Then let’s envision Australia, where gun deaths are down but knife deaths are climbing. Why might that be? Let’s glance at China, where a knife is the weapon of choice and 130 persons were stabbed at random. 36 persons were stabbed and killed at a Chinese police station in 2013. Eight children were killed by a knife-wielder in Japan. Eight people killed in South Korea. 41 people were stabbed by a 16-year-old in Berlin. A 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in the UK. The knife is the UK “weapon of choice” for violence, as it is in Israel with Palestinians stabbing and killing Israeli citizens. FBI data indicates you are more likely to be beaten, clubbed or stabbed to death than to be murdered using an AR-15 or any other rifle in the United States.
Yet the meme continues, pushed, shoved and agendized by Mr Obama, Leftists and our American Media Maggots.
In Europe, guns are involved in 36 percent of murders and knives are involved in 43 percent. Where is the cry for “knife control”?
But here’s one thing you won’t be able to do with a knife: defend yourself against a government. Oppose oppressive government regimes. Governments, all governments, our government, will always be armed with heavy, military grade weapons. Historically, our Second Amendment does not exist to allow Americans to hunt. That’s a ridiculous claim when made by anyone. The Second Amendment exists in America in order to resist tyranny in any form and that includes an over-reaching government, foreign or domestic.
We all know what occurs when you take a knife to a gun fight. The only solution to an evil person with a gun is another gun. Period. Most of these recent mass killers shoot themselves or surrender when confronted with armed resistance. They are completely aware of so-called “gun free zones.” They know what will happen when law enforcement arrives.
As the great Divider-In-Chief, here is what one of your black minions, Cleveland Brown player Isaiah Crowell, posted on Instagram.
This is but a small portion of the offensive material going out on social media against law enforcement.
Notice any similarity, Mr Obama? This is your doing sir. Your doing. I am not the only one who believes this. Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke calls Barack Hussein Obama the Cop Hater-In-Chief.
Sheriff Clarke was interviewed by Don Lemon on CNN last night and had had enough. You must watch the full interview.
Let us not forget that Black Lives Matter was created behind an outright lie — the lie of “hands up don’t shoot.” Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson had the full force of the federal government fall down on him as a host of 100 FBI agents descended upon Ferguson in order to prove him a racist, a liar, a bad cop, the outright assassin of Michael Brown.
Officer Darren Wilson was cleared entirely but his life was destroyed. He can never be a law enforcement officer again because of his perceived stigma.
Let me say that again: Black Lives Matter was predicated but upon a LIE, and consists now of mostly racist individuals whose words are murderous themselves and whose members foment and partake of violence.
As the great Divider-In-Chief and, as I am wont to say, the Racist-In-Chief, Obama is quick to conclude that law enforcement officers are swine. It is Barack Obama who stated Trayvon Martin could be his son. In one way, sir, yes, perhaps he could indeed. But not in the manner he perhaps envisioned. I don’t mean that in a good way, you see. Rhetoric uber alles, Mr Obama, for It was Obama who said “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
Today Barack Obama said that cops need to “admit their failures.” Perhaps you should turn that burning and accusing finger towards yourself sir and examine your own rhetoric, your own lack of leadership, your own clear biases and prejudices.
It is Barack Hussein Obama who acts without facts. As I wrote earlier:
Obama sets the tone and the pace for the administration in DC and, by dint of that, the tone for the rest of those who follow he and his fellow political Leftists.
Trayvon Martin became Barack Hussein Obama’s son. Obama didn’t have all the facts but proclaimed Martin a victim. Zimmermann was found not guilty, though Obama had already found him guilty.
Obama stated with Bully Pulpit firmness that the Cambridge Police Department “acted stupidly” in the arrest of professor Henry Gates, though Obama didn’t have all the facts. Gates, by the way, just “happened” to be a personal black friend of Obama’s.
Obama’s attitude of Officer Darren Wilson was that of guilt, though Wilson was never indicted or charged. Wilson’s life was, however, ruined forever though not convicted of any crime.
Holder had the opportunity to make a statement when Black Panthers barricaded the polls in Philadelphia with weapons they carried, but Holder refused to take any actions whatsoever.
Obama has fanned racist flames, whenever he could, in Ferguson and in Baltimore. It’s no secret that he wants to federalize police nationally.
Cops are not saints and there are racist cops. I readily admit that; I’d be a fool not to.
A black male was baldly murdered for taking leg bail on a white police officer following a traffic stop. That cop, University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing, now in fact does face murder charges for the killing of Sanuel DuBose in July of 2015. DeKalb County (GA) Police Officer Robert Olsen was indicted for murder in January of this year involving the shooting of Anthony Hill, a naked black man with PTSD. A Portsmouth (VA) police officer, Stephen Rankin, was indicted for murder in September of 2015 for the shooting death of William Chapman, a black young man, stemming from a shoplifting call at a WalMart when Chapman charged at the officer
But these are the few exceptions and not the rule. This doesn’t count Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson who was not charged at all after the shooting of Michael Brown, as well as countless other officers uncharged in various shootings around the country. This also doesn’t take into account the white males who have been shot and killed at the hands of black police officers — a fact entirely unaddressed by media.
Statistically, roughly 5% of police shootings fall under circumstances that are questionable according to the Washington Post. The vast majority of individuals shot and killed by police officers were armed with guns and killed after attacking police officers or civilians or making other direct threats. Of the 960 people killed by police in 2015, 564 were armed with a gun. 281 were armed with another weapon. Almost half have been white, a quarter have been black and one-sixth have been Hispanic.
Fact: doctors kill roughly 400,000 people per year in the United States. Doctors are the #3 killer in the US, right behind heart disease and cancer. Clearly, the nation is screaming for “doctor control.”
On October 24th of last year, my department lost Deputy Danny Oliver, who was shot and killed during a suspicious person contact adjacent a motel. That same suspect fled the scene, shot a civilian, and then killed Placer County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr a short time later. Detective Michael David Davis Jr. was killed 26 years — to the day — after his own law enforcement father was killed. Both deputies were slain by a Mexican national who had been deported twice and had drug arrests.
“The rule of law makes society possible,” Mr Barack Hussein Obama said today during a news conference regarding Baton Rouge. There is a staggering lack of leadership in this nation because of Barack Hussein Obama and, in my opinion, this is quite purposeful for the reasons via the examples I illustrated above. Mr Obama by his words and actions and continuing tendencies has set a tone and created a climate that has emboldened and empowered people to push and challenge law enforcement to the point where officers nationwide are being ambushed and assassinated outright.
Because of this “tone,” the NAACP is now calling for certain police departments to be defunded.
Mr Obama sets the tone for the nation. Tone noted. And I’m so very tired of it.
“Rule of law.” Right, Mr Obama. The same “rule of law” continuously avoided by those in power, such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, yourself, William Jefferson Clinton and any number of the political power brokers in DC, aided and abetted by Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey and others too numerous to mention.
“All animals are equal, some are more equal than others.”
“Rule of law” you say, Mr Barack Hussein Obama?
America needs to have the back of its law enforcement officers. We should be thankful for its Silverbacks and its Sheepdogs. I am still a Sheepdog.
When all you do, however, is attack your Sheepdogs, then the wolves appear in greater numbers and threaten your sheep.
Unless that’s your actual plan.
It’s no more complicated than that.

It amazes me that no one ever thinks, “What if all the sheepdogs quit.” They wouldn’t of course as it is against their nature. But what if? What if, ‘Who is John Galt?’ took to the only segment of society in place to ensure its safety against itself? What if all the good guys stayed home one day?
That’s a very, very important issue Sam. It is becoming “unenlightened” and “regressive” to be seen as a law enforcement officer or a soldier. What, indeed, if we do run out of persons who wish to take up these positions? Persons who wish to sacrifice?
Chaos wins.

I know many large cities such as San Antonio, Las Cruces, Santa Fe and others are drastically under staffed. Many state and fed agencies can’t entice enough bkdies to fill posts. It’s already started.
Should have typed “bodies”
And another thing:
“We are sending a letter to Gov. Kasich requesting assistance from him. He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something—I don’t care if it’s constitutional or not at this point,” Stephen Loomis, the union president, told CNN. “They can fight about it after the RNC or they can lift it after the RNC, but I want him to absolutely outlaw open-carry in Cuyahoga County until this RNC is over.”
This is a police officer making this statement. I wonder if he remembers this:
“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
And we wonder why we have the problems we have today.
OTOH, Sam, you have to remember that bigger city police officers are also a bit inculcated with more Leftism than other agencies. It can’t help but rub off. But the bottom line is this: it’s the LAW. You need to abide by the law until the law is changed.
BZ
Agreed. I remember a quote somewhere going, “If you do well, will you not be accepted?”
The rule of law makes society possible. (The Alinsky rule of law?)
Unless, as you say, it is his goal to destroy society. And based on all his actions (and with the complicit media) I agree that is his aim.
I wonder who wrote that for him. Ammunition for the GOP had they only the guts to use it…
Consider the Second Amendment: ” a well regulated militia…’ What is the law on militias? Can towns, communities form their own militias? Is this something which could be in our future? Or would that be considered vigilantism?
That depends upon the times. Now, it will likely be viewed as outright vigilantism. But things are changing, and not for the better.
