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.

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.
[ALMANAR.LB] In his open message to the Islamic World in late 2014, Professor of Philosophy at the Sophia Antipolis University in Nice, La Belle France, Abdul Nour Bidar, wrote: "If you want to learn how not to produce a future as these monsters (ISIL), you should start reforming the entire education your children are receiving, as well as in all places of knowledge and within authorities. This is your only way not to produce such monsters."
With his honest words to the Islamic World, Bidar, the Muslim French intellectual pointed the issue as it is. The problem lies within the "fanatic dark Wahhabi recession that is still causing corruption in the Kingdom of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as a cancer that is born in your heart!"... The problem is in the education allowed and established by Wahhabism.

How many times has one or another version of this story been posted here? I would guess that in the 14 years or so I've been reading Rantburg, at least twice a year. Yet the issue gets no traction in the "serious" milblogs let alone the military or foreign policy journals. Fourteen wasted years. Time for a stiff drink.
[Ray Starmann's Defense Watch] Across the world, the War with ISIS is exploding; in Paris, Brussels, in the Middle East and at the US/Mexican border. ISIS continues to attack, attack, attack, following George Patton's motto of "l'audace, l'audace, toujours l'audace (audacity, audacity, always audacity).
While the world seems to be continually shocked by one ISIS atrocity after another, in the White House, one thing is crystal clear, President Obama has chosen to fight rising seas and disappearing glaciers before taking the fight to the marauding maniacal murderers of ISIS.
While the President has been pelted for two weeks for having no strategy to fight ISIS, no one in the press has mentioned the architects of the war against ISIS, the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Oh, those guys...
Those guys...
Where have they been this whole time? The majority of the air campaign against ISIS was being conducted while former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey was at the helm of the US Military Titanic. Dempsey certainly knew that flying 10 missions a day against ISIS, 75% of which were turned around, would have no effect on the caliphate.
A pack of Cub Scouts could figure that one out, no matter how many times Admiral Kirby was wheeled out with his organ grinder and carnival shell game. Where was the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force, General Mark Welsh this whole time? Certainly he knew that the air war against ISIS was no war at all.
Where were the Joint Chiefs when Obama pulled out of Iraq, opening up a Pandora's Box into hell? Where were the Joint Chiefs when ISIS made strategic gain after strategic gain in Iraq and Syria and seized more cities and more land?
Where were the Joint Chiefs when doctored intelligence from CENTCOM was flowing into the White House faster than a Rocky Mountain river?
And, where are the Joint Chiefs now as the President willingly dodges any kind of strategy or war against the most evil threat to peace since the Nazis?
After hitting an iceberg and abandoning ship, Dempsey is currently floating down the Potomac in a raft, escaping the carnage and holding a Samsonite full of retirement benefits and the key to his new office at some Beltway defense contractor. Thank you for your service, general.
General Joe Dunford, Dempsey's replacement and the last great hope for sanity and strategy to prevail is as quiet as a church mouse. Where has Dunford been the whole time the ISIS surge has been taking place?

At that level, they're politicians in uniform. Fortunate for us the founding fathers remembered their history with Charles the First and Cromwell, so they made higher offices subject to the approval of Congress (our Parliament). Congress also has the say on promotions (see - Tailhook).
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
