The Seventh Arrow

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

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

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
