The Seventh Arrow

Posted on by

It is my pleasure to feature a new voice here at Bloviating Zeppelin.  He is called The Seventh Arrow, and has a unique and distinct take on law enforcement in America.

SEVENTH ARROW Masthead ReferenceYou may reach him on Twitter, @TheSeventhArrow.  He describes himself as a current law enforcement officer with over 14 years of experience, a literary scholar, conservative, photographer, family man and father.

He writes as follows:

Is the Black Lives Matter movement a terrorist organization or do they just support terrorism? What is the difference between the BLM movement and the Taliban? Consider the following and reflect. Look at “18 U.S. Code 2331” defining terrorism, of which I will summarize a portion:

” (Terrorism) (A) involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;”

Now that we have the legal definition, what is the difference between what happened in Dallas, Texas on July 7th, 2016 and what happened in San Bernardino on December 2nd of 2015?

One similarity is they are both acts of terrorism in one form or another. I will let you compare or contrast other similarities — but know our “leaders” do not care for the word “terrorist,” so you won’t hear it from them.

I have the following message for anyone who would support terrorism in this country in ignorance as opposed to malice. In the latter instance I have nothing to say which you would understand. For the ignorant I can only hope that you temporarily break ignorance and hear my words for what they are. If you support the Black Lives Matter movement, listen carefully.

Despite what passive news media shares with you, be diligent in your logic. Regardless of what any of your supposed leaders tell you,  understand the situation for yourself. Do not March like a lamb to the slaughter of truth. Elevate yourself, separate from evil and Join America. Remove yourself from the terrorist notions which are destroying this country.

Anti-cop rhetoric leads to five Dallas officer assassinations

Posted on by

Black Power Political OrganizationAnd it started in Dallas, Texas last night.  Five Dallas officers are dead, twelve were shot — in addition to two civilians.

You can read about it here at the UKMirror.com:

Dallas police shooting: ‘Black Power group’ claims responsibility for police killings and warns of more assassinations to come

by Richard Wheatstone

“More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper” read a post on the Black Power Political Organisation Facebook account

A Facebook page claiming to represent a black power group has posted messages claiming responsibility for the deaths of five police officers in Dallas.

Five officers were gunned down by at least two shooters who picked out officers from an ‘elevated position’ – believed to be a multi-storey car park.

It came in the week of public outrage over the deaths of two black men shot by police.

The so-called Black Power Political Organisation wrote on its Facebook account that it was behind the attack and that ‘more assassinations are coming’.

BPPO 1Isn’t it odd how Facebook and Twitter will immediately take down conservative accounts at the snap of a Leftist finger, but somehow manages to overlook the BPPO account as illustrated above, which regales and promotes snipers, rifles and assassination?

No bias there in social media, right?

Ladies and gentlemen, you are seeing the results of our first black president being the Divider-In-Chief instead of the Uniter-In-Chief.

BPPO 2I have written frequently here about the relationships with law enforcement and American politicians and, for that matter, the military as well.

I have written frequently about the importance of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, most prominently about the Second Amendment and its ability to protect American citizens and the First Amendment as well.

Instead of a uniter, Demorats, Leftists and our president have done much to striate, divide and separate our country.  Barack Obama is the Fomenter-In-Chief.  You are seeing his results.

I have just one question for you on the Left and Demorats: what happens when you can no longer find people to serve in your law enforcement or military communities?  What happens when people no longer want those jobs, because to be a law enforcement officer or a soldier is considered “unsophisticated” or “unenlightened”?

And what happens when, because your loving American government has disarmed you and gutted the Second Amendment as it certainly wishes to do, danger is at your door and there are no police to respond and you have no firearm with which to defend you or your family?

Will you pick up a lamp?  A broom?  A butter knife?

Because you can damned well be guaranteed that criminals will still have firearms and their evil miens will not have diminished over time.

What then?

P.S.

And here’s what occurred today: law enforcement is targeted and murdered by a Black Lives Matter zealot — and America’s top cop gives the protesters a “pep talk” and then brings up the gun issue?

Insanity.  We are a rudderless country.

San Jose PD should be ashamed of itself

Posted on by

Why?

For doing very little when people were getting attacked and injured at the Trump rally in San Jose last Thursday — sometimes right in front of officers.

Perhaps I’m missing some kind of embedded and secretive point, but I saw a lot of indifference on the part of SJPD as Trump supporters found themselves hit and, like the Trump supporter in the red shirt, chased down by protesters and assaulted.  This is just the first video.  But wait; there’s more.  Oh yes, much more information.

Law enforcement operates on ROEs — Rules of Engagement — that come from command staff and also from city hall and/or the mayor.  I know that.  I spent 41 years in law enforcement, 35 years for a major California agency easily twice as large as that of San Jose’s 900 officers.

San Jose Mayor Sam LiccardoLet’s be clear.  The mayor of San Jose, Sam Liccardo, believes that it is the fault of the Trump supporters for being assaulted.  Liccardo said:

The mayor, a Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter, criticized Trump for coming to cities and igniting problems that local police departments have to deal with.

 “At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.”

Completely ignoring the actual behavior of the unfettered Leftist rioters under the Leftist mayor’s SJPD Chief Edgardo Garciasnarky little nose last Thursday.

With that kind of rhetoric, you can mostly be assured that San Jose PD Chief Edgardo Garcia got the phone call from Liccardo, which was then was passed down via limp-wristed ROEs to the Watch Commander that day and then to the troops themselves.  Just as with Anaheim PD.  Stand down.  React only to the very worst.  If you absolutely must.  I’ll get back to that, however.

Until then, let us note just who was so terribly pleased when Edgardo Garcia was appointed — not elected — as San Jose’s Chief of Police in March of this year. Continue reading →

Memorial Day 2016 in Chicago

Posted on by

Tomb of the Unknown 3 SoldiersWhile some of America was taking time, albeit too briefly, to reflect on the sacrifices made by our courageous US military personnel on Memorial Day, the city of Chicago was continuing its all-important job of killing more black people.

Because black lives don’t matter.  They don’t matter to the Demorats, they don’t matter to Leftists, they don’t matter to the local Chicago politicians, and I can make an excellent argument that black lives don’t matter to blacks themselves.

Chicago’s Bloody Memorial Day: 66 Shot, 6 Killed

by Warner Todd Huston

An incredible 66 people were shot, although just six were killed, over Chicago’s Memorial Day weekend. The carnage pushed the number of gunshot victims well above 1,500 this year in this Democratic-run city.

One of the youngest victims was a 15-year-old girl who was killed on the city’s famed Lake Shore Drive while a passenger in a car driven by a known gang member.

The blood continued to flow all weekend, with victims in their teens and early 20s dominating the mounting tally.

Memorial Day 2016 outpaced the toll of violence for both 2015 and 2014, but not the death tolls. In 2015, 45 were wounded, and 12 deaths were recorded. In 2014, 21 were wounded and eight killed. While far more were shot this year than any other Memorial Day weekend, Chicago can take some solace that fewer ended up dead.

So far this year there have been 1,514 people shot in Chicago. Of that number, 228 have been killed by the gunfire. An additional 26 murders by other means pushed the death toll to 254. Sixty-two of those homicides happened in May.

So just who kills whom in Chicago?  Let’s examine the statistics — not just from “conservative media,” but from governmental and the American Media Maggots as well.

New study shows likelihood of being shot in Chicago

by Frank Main

The study, called “Tragic, but not random: The social contagion of nonfatal gunshot injuries,” was published in the January 2015 issue of Social Science & Medicine. It shows the risk of becoming a gunshot victim in Chicago is “more concentrated than previously thought,” according to Andrew Papachristos, one of the authors.

And as was previously known, race was a key risk factor in getting shot, the study noted. For every 100,000 people, an average of one white person, 28 Hispanics and 113 blacks became victims of nonfatal shootings every year in Chicago over the six-year study period.

Are you perhaps sensing a trend here?

AllenWest.com then weighs in on some statistics — Allen West being a retired Lt Colonel in the US Army and a former Florida Representative.  Who is himself black.

On average, 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using FBI and CDC statistics, Professor Johnson calculates that 112 black men, on average, suffered both justified and unjustified police-involved deaths annually during this period.

This equals 2.5 percent of these 4,472 yearly deaths. For every black man — criminal or innocent — killed by a cop, 40 black men were murdered by other black men. The, at most, 2.5 percent of the problem generates relentless rage. And, yet, it is rude-to-racist to mention 97.5 percent of the problem.

The notion that America’s cops simply are gunning down innocent black people is one of today’s biggest and deadliest lies”.

Chicago: 75% of Murdered are Black, 71% of Murderers are Black

The numbers are horrifying

by Devin Foley

Simply put, Chicago has a massive Black-on-Black murder problem. All of the data below comes from the Chicago Police Department. You can access it here.

What stands out the most looking at both charts and knowing that 90% of the victims are male is that a lot of young, Black men are being killed in Chicago. No race comes even close to overall deaths by homicide. Keep in mind that based on 2010 Census numbers, only 33% of Chicago’s population was classified as Black. 

The data on offenders also tells a troubling story: Young, Black males are overwhelmingly committing most of the murders. Based on the data on the victims, that means young, Black males are primarily killing other young, Black males. What a terrible situation. 

“Black Lives Matter” have no problem with excoriating anyone and everyone not in sync with their racist mantra.  Anyone suggesting — and that includes any and all Leftists — that “all lives matter” is hoisted on their own Leftist petard.

But the only logical bottom line is this: there are any number of reasons that blacks are murdering blacks at remarkable rates.  Those aside, that law enforcement is a “major player” in the demise of young black males is an out-and-out lie.  Repeat: a lie.  Young black urban males predominantly kill young black urban males.  That is a fact.

The logical extension is this: blacks continuously demand what they term “respect.”  Let me state the obvious for those who cannot ken the obvious: when blacks truly respect each other, then and only then will respect be 1) given and 2) earned.

Blacks: earn it.

Law enforcement isn’t the problem in your “black community.”

Try some introspection.
