The #LaquanMcDonald Farce
2015-11-29
Robert Stacy McCain explicates the Laquan McDonald mess:
Because the media narrative of this story is about racism, we are not allowed to mention the fact that Officer Van Dyke wasn’t just firing haphazardly at whatever random black person he encountered that night in October 2014. No, he arrived on Pulaski Road to join a situation in progress, the pursuit of a felony suspect who was attempting to evade arrest. It has been pointed out that several other Chicago police were on the scene, and that only Officer Van Dyke fired his weapon — a deadly use of excessive force, for which he has been charged with first-degree murder.

If all Chicago police are racist, why did only one of them shoot Laquan McDonald? Or if racism is such a serious problem with Chicago police, where are the stories about officers just shooting black people at random? The media is so intent on selling us the Evil White Cop narrative (updated hourly on CNN) that anyone trying to look outside that framework risk being accused of endorsing police brutality.

#3  The po-lice's pistol was drawn
To deal out dire doom to Laquan.
"O Rahm and Obama
And Mama, no trauma!
Please, officer, use your baton."

Always a polite young man.

#2  Ticks me off whenever the LameStreamMedia™ show two or three seconds worth of shaky video from somebody's cell phone purporting to show what the racists cops are doing to the poor black victims. There is, conveniently, never any explanation of events that lead up to the incident caught on video. That would take an investigation and they don't have time for that because they have cops to demonize.
