June 1st will be 37 years. Thirty seven years ago, my life all but ended. On a hot summer's evening and on a dirty piece of pavement in Atlanta.
I was thirty one years old, recently married, with a pregnant wife. I was simply doing my job. The same job people looked down their noses at, both then and now.
It began as a simple stolen car recovery. Until myself and another officer were forced by circumstances, and the actions of an armed criminal, into a potentially deadly traffic stop.
You know the ones. Those traffic stops where some cop is just trying to make their quota. Those traffic stops where people have their lives interupted and they resent it. As they resent being ticketed and fined for the exact same thing they have done 1000 times or more.
I had made thousands of traffic stops and dozens of felony stops by that time in my career, but this one would be different. I would barely survive it.
The driver? A 19 year old black male with an eight page criminal history for theft, drugs and armed robbery? On parole for same? Came out of the car shooting.
I was immediately struck twice and knocked down. After which, the felon exited his car, fired at me twice more while I was on the ground. Obviously intending to kill me.
The third bullet struck me in my hip and paralized my leg. After which, the felon attempted to flee on foot, but ended up being engaged by my backup unit. My backup officer killed him when he charged toward him with the weapon.
The dead felon's crime? He was driving a stolen car. Carrying a stolen gun. While on prison parole for previous armed robberies and auto thefts. And he was hell bent to add to his resume that day.
My crime?
Being a cop in Atlanta. Trying to do the job. Trying to make the streets safer. For neighborhoods that were predominantly black. Where large portions of those beighborhoods hated me.
They hated me for two reasons. The first being that I was a cop, the second being that I was white. And much of the similar racial allegations being made now? Were being made back then. The main difference then being, the media did not give them traction, or promote baseless allegations as fact. They did not print or report their stories based upon rumors and accusations.
The felon shot me that night, three times with a 357 magnum revolver. A stolen gun. As are 95% of firearms used by criminals.
I spent 9 hours in surgery. With a hole blown through my colon. My mesentery artery severed. Nine hours of surgery, five hours of micro surgery to repair that artery. Thirty units of whole blood, at least as many bags of platelettes and IV's of Ringers. Trying to keep enough blood and fluids in me while they repaired the damage done before I died. and I almost did die, two different times while on the operating table.
I spent three weeks in the hospital, five months with a colostomy, and crapping in a plastic bag. A year out of work and a leg that has remained permanently numb, due to severed nerves in my hip.
And for what? For trying to do a job that nobody else would do or will do. A job that many curse. Even the supposed "good people." They still curse you under their breath. When they get caught doing reckless or stupid things.
But such was and is the profession. At least until the last year. Since George Floyd and before that with Michael Brown and Barck Obama's war on police.
Obama spent his first four years tearing down and attacking the military. He spent his next four years doing the same to the police in America.
And what we have seen and lived the past year all across this country, is the residual and ongoing effects of his policies and actions toward the police.
Is it too simple to say? That Michael Brown, George Floyd and most recently Duante Wright? And others? Would be alive today? Had they simply followed the police officers instructions and not resisted arrest
Or is it more pointedly considered racist? To even consider that they or any black in Ametica today, should submit to any authority, but most especially not to any police authority.
As the black community has been in essence given a pass on their behavior and for a long time now.
Compliments of black lies matter, marxist leftists and the media. And regardless of how many voices of reason attempt to point out the present disparities? They too are immediately assailed as racists.
Why? Because the facts flow contrary to the propagated reality.
Yesterday in Brooklyn Center Minnesota, the officer who shot and killed Duante Wright resigned. As did the chief of police. And I am betting that before this day has ended, the female officer will be criminally charged. Probably with manslaughter. Because that is justified. Anything else is not.
But keep in mind? The Derek Chauvin trial is in it's final stages, not thirty miles away in Minneapolis.
And all Americans know in advance? What the verdict had better be. Because anything less than guilty on all counts? Will mean America burns.
Again.
So if you don't believe that those jurors can be impartial? Consider this. The mayor and counsel of Brooklyn Center Mn, each voted to fire their city manager of seventeen years on Monday. One day after Duante Wright was killed.
The city manager's crime? He had stated publicly the day before, that there should be due process for the officer involved and that there should not be a rush to judgement. And for that he was fired.
And the following day when one of the Brooklyn Center counsel members was asked why he had been fired? The counsel woman said it wasn't because of his job performance, or any employee violations. She said that he had actually been a great city manager and that she liked him.
However, for her to do anything less than vote for his firing? Could of meant that her own home would have been targeted and attacked. By those same elements that these blue state politicians refuse to call anything but protestors.
So ask yourself again? What the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial will be. Or what it had better be.
Because America is now a nation of racially biased mob rule. And if we do not cow and bow to the racial blackmail and the scarlet letters of present day black racism by these mobs?
There will be a price to be paid.
Our cities will burn, our citizens "not of color" will be singled out and attacked.
And who is responsible for these realities? Turn on your TV and simply watch and listen to blue state democrats and their radical left handlers and their complicit media.
They all march lock step or else? They too will be branded uncle Toms and be declared person no grata in "the black community."
I told people weeks ago? That the next stage in the ongoing hatred of police in America? Would be calls for disarming the police. And what did we see in Brooklyn Center Mn yesterday.
The mayor of that city, saying: "That he did not believe that police officers should be armed on traffic stops."
Mean while in New York city?
There were renewed calls to stop the NYPD from even making traffic stops. So how long before this becomes the new mantra of so called social justice. How long before this becomes the new reality.
Every time there is a mass shooting, the first thing the media and these race activist attempt to do, is to-pin the responsibility on white supremacy and white people. They call them hate crimes.
Yet when the facts reveal anything other than their desired perceptions? They walk away immediately and the story dies.
When a white man killed eight people in Atlanta last month? Six of who were Korean and just happened to be involved as masseuses in the inderground sex industry in the city?
That was susddenly a hate crime against Asians. Marches were organized and banners screamed that it was time to end violence against Asians by white people.
The only problem was? When they looked at the crime statistics? Over 75% of all violent attacks on Asians in America? Were perpetrated by blacks. And the large remainder of the attacks, were perpetrated by other Asians. So once again? When the facts do not match the facts? The story goes away.
Yet when a former black NFL player, killed a white doctor, his wife and two small grandchildren? And a white man who just happened to be doing yard work for the doctor that day? There was not the first mention of race or a hate crime.
So what is the difference.
The difference is mob mentality and a media that furthers that mentality, while continuing to demonize white people as the only people ever responsible for anything.
Because of? White privilege and systemic racism. Or so we are routinely told by black activists and the media.
And our federal agencies, from the FBI to the CDC furthers these same race hate memes daily. To attempt to explain away, what is clearly happening.
It's called damn your lying eyes! Believe what we tell you to believe or else!
Or else we will brand you a racist and set about to cancel you!
Last week in New Mexico? A state trooper was killed by a man armed with a rifle. He was shot eleven times and murdered.
On a "routine trffic stop."
That trooper became one of 97!police officers killed in the line of duty, just this year alone. And we are not even through the first four months of the year.
Did you see or hear of any protests over his death? Or any of the other police officers killed in the line of duty? Over half by those killed by those of color?
Have you seen or heard of any orgnizations like police lives matter?
Protesting, rioting, burning, or attacking government buildings and police officers over those deaths? Or did any "activists" go into "communities of color" and do the same that these communities of color, have been doing in white neighborhoods for the last year.
No.
Yet America was told by a black mayor in Brooklyn Center Mn yesterday? That he does not believe that police officers should be armed for traffic stops.
And the real irony to his staement? Is that there was not one iota of push back from anyone in mainstream media about his statement.
And remember? Fox News doesn't count. Because they are a "right wing extremist" company. And everyone employed there are racists and supporters of white supremacy. Just ask the mainstream media.
Being white? According to the new world order? Is the most dangerous extremist threat to America today. Because all white people are all racist, white supremacist and domestic terrorist.
When I began these observations? I laid my credibility out clearly. I have been involved in countless traffic stops. I have been shot and almost killed on one. And the perpetrator was not some white right wing extremist.
The man that sought to kill me that day? Was the product of a culture that furthers and promotes racial hatred. Far more than any other. And if you do not believe that? Just look around. Watch the so called news reports every day. And they will tell you. And they will tell tou what to think and what to believe. And you had better believe them and act accordingly.
See who are the speakers and the leaders of these groups and what their messages are. Then look at who is supporting their messages and backing their angst and hatred of all things America and all things white.
Those corporations that you are doing business with each day are supporting them and financing them and they are all involved and they are all getting rich from their race baiting and permissibe attitudes toward race, racism and anarchy towards anyone not of color.
America is not at a turning point, we have already turned to corner. That train has left the building.
And as each day passes, the mob mentality continues to grow. Both supported by government and media and ignored, by those who are the targets and the victims of what is now in reality?
Nothing but approved and acceptable racism.
So those are my thoughts. I welcome yours. Or am I just being obtuse.
