Well for those paying attention, it is officially “game on.” The BLM / FSA have been setting the rules of engagement and have just learned they have been adopted.
Hard to blame a guy who got sucker punched and glad he isn’t dead. The next guy will probably end up dead.
I’ve seen something like this on the horizon for some time now. Social engineering and all that.
The media is used to further an agenda. Since the Trayvon Martin shooting they have been non-stop fanning the flames. All this as damaged “race relations” in this country. The words of Obama and the way the media and DOJ handled that shooting as well as Ferguson, Baltimore, etc. has done more to damage and set back race relations in this country than anything else. I am of the opinion that the powers at be want civil unrest on the streets of CONUS. This will allow them to justify a police-state. Then the media will run 24/7 all the Trayvon’s and Michael Brown Jr.'s laying in the streets and portray them as poor little Steve Urkels gunned down on the way home from the library and not the gangbangers that they were out raping and pillaging in mass flash-mobs. The UN will scream human rights violations, marshal law declared, disarmament operations implemented and you will have Civil War/American Revolution 2.0 . . .
Well here is one eventuality . . .
Bracken: When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence
https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/bracken-when-the-music-stops-how-americas-cities-may-explode-in-violence/
That’s quite the article… Seems like it’s straight out of a post-apocalypse type TV show, but all too real in areas of the world that the author noted.
I’ve been eyeing this on the horizon for some time now as well. I think many of our members here have.
Things are getting real, and fast.
What really seems to be changing the quickest is how the average person views these events. It used to be you could trust a small portion of the media and a large portion of the police force without question; knowing there are is evil and ineptitude everywhere.
But now the average person thinks police are gunning down blacks willy nilly- and no amount of logic or facts will allow them to see situations as they truly are. It’s always poor little black boy was just walking with his hands up and whitey shot him.
Even white people are starting to think this way. I have a few family
Members who are seriously down the rabbits hole.
It’s getting weird out there…
Add to that the rampant rumors that there is going to be another economic collapse like 2008 anytime, ISIS maybe on our Southern Border (or already in the country), illegal immigrant violence that the government refuses to do anything about, the militarization of police (who really do seem to overstep their mandate), a possible EMP attack on our grid (that our government refuses to protect us from), and there are probably a dozen more I can’t think of right now.
It’s enough to make you want to move to New Zealand.
I’m not in the “Ragnarok is upon us!” camp, but I think there is a massive economic and social correction coming. How free thinking people handle it will define the future of this country.
As to the grid, I don’t think a bad guy doesn’t need anything as sophisticated as an EMP. The grid is a mess of kludged-together connections, barely-stable substations, and aging power plants, especially in places like California where new plants have been consistently blocked by tree-huggers for decades. Remember the Northeast blackout of 2004? Our national power grid hasn’t exactly gotten better since then…
I just wish more black leaders would speak out (watch the video):

Well a good chunk of the world’s billionaires are doing just that.

Hmm, I wonder what they know that we don’t? Tick-tock . . .
The ones that do will never be on MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, et al. Thankfully there is the internet . . . for now.
Good to see others are aware of the same thing - wish it wasn’t something that is happening. What happens after the major unrest begins is speculation, but we’re in 100% agreement that the media, at the direction of their owners, is trying to spark major unrest.
I am very, very glad that I moved this past year from a fairly safe area 14 miles from a potential problem city to a ridiculously safe area 150+ miles from any potential problem city. But we still have to worry about the economy functioning and routine trucking still happening. In the meantime, I’m maximizing my beach days!
I’m glad to, but my first thought, aside for thankfulness he wasn’t killed was, ‘situational awareness, so rare it should be a super power.’
Actually unless I missed it, this article should be an example of why police officers shouldn’t be relying solely on their firearms for defense.
It’s a very sad situation and I’m glad the detective wasn’t hurt worse. I know that area well. It may just be me but I’ve rarely if ever seen a marked car in a 10 mile radius of that area. Thug life flourishes there. Strip centers are thrown up and reconstructed then no sooner are they vandalized and destroyed again. The disregard for decency is sickening.
I would say I wish the detective would have assumed the worst, drawn on the scum and blasted a hole in his head when he charged but then we could have a Ferguson practically in our back yard.
I have no doubt the fear of shooting an “unarmed” black man in light of BLM, the one year anniversary of Ferguson, the thought of losing his job and being publicly shamed, persecuted and threatened played into the detective’s though process.
So he could have fought him, used a baton, OC spray, or Taser and the headline would still read “White Officer ______ Unarmed Black Man”. This detective, based on the interview and his own statements, chose to get his butt kicked and potentially killed rather then even fight back. I knew this would eventually happen following Ferguson, the next guy will likely be killed.
Where are the headlines “Unarmed black man tries to kill officer.”
That is the mirror image of all the headlines about cops shooting unarmed black men.
Then he should probably go seek another job. This stuff isn’t new, and it’s been happening for quite a while. The difference is now it is being thrust into the limelight.
Iraqgunz brings up an excellent point.
Warning, Real Talk follows.
A LOT of kids and new guys are brought up that the taser ends everyfight or that pointi g a loaded weapon at another person with “maximum assertiveness” will win the day and force homie into just giving it up.
Nope. My rule of thumb is that if I draw down on you, you’ve done something VERY BAD. You have half a horny jackrabbit’s heartbeat to stop or most likely you’re getting shot until I run dry and reload. You’re committing a forcible felony against myself or others and could cause grievous bodily harm to myself or others. No. You don’t need to be armed either. People recall fisticuffs from 3rd grade where Ralphie and Scot Farkus got into a push down slap fight. Mmmm. Naw. Adult fights can include butst eyeballs, dislocated shoulders. Broken collarbones Ruptured ear drums and broken jaws.
To make agencies more ‘diverse’ and 'gender friendly ’ A LOT of hand to hand has gone out the wayside.
Physically subduing and legally correcting a wayward soul is becoming a dying art. And it’s tragic because people on the street admire the hell out of a bad ass .
They’ll either wanna be Officers new friend or they’ll run the other way . But a lot of these “draw downs” and “accidental shoots” are beyond unprofessional and lame.
Like buddy on CNN today, cop in tears. Had no choice. Had to drop the hammer. Because he was black and gonna beat me up, more or less his point.
I don’t care how angry or offensive the suspect, you WILL stand and you WILL fight. This ain’t Starbucks. Nobody cares about your upbringing. You WILL restore peace to the scene or take a lump. Hood for ya. Teaches you something.
But yeah, people over rely on that gun and not the two mitts you hold em in.
Because once you go that far, police or not you’re kinda committed to being barely legally justified or life alteringly wrong
This is how it is used. Pushing citizens into a predetermined result. Here is an example:
Something tells me he wasn’t surfing facebook when he got clocked. Yes situational awareness is a necessary and valuable skill. But it can be hard to be situationally aware of a dozen or more people who are all using their situational awareness and trying to move on you.
I’ve seen outnumbered cops who didn’t want to go to deadly force get maneuvered on, it’s not a pretty thing. Usually it’s simply a case of them thinking they can control the situation when they already lost control of it and they haven’t realized that yet.
I’ve actually seen footage of cops who surrendered their guns to armed attackers because the armed attackers “promised” they wouldn’t shoot them. And of course they promptly shot them. Anyone who has gone through a combative mindset training program has probably seen the same footage.
