5 Officers Dead - 7 Wounded

     This tragic event happened in Dallas on July 10, 2016.  Five officers were killed and seven were wounded while protecting the people in a Black Lives Matter rally. 
       I was not surprised by this event.  The only thing that surprised me was that it had not happened earlier.  I knew it would happen again, and it has with 3 officers dead and 3 wounded in Baton Rouge on July 17, 2016
      We had to expect this with the rhetoric of our top leadership.  President Obama and the last two Attorney Generals have verbally encouraged organizations like Black Lives Matter and individuals like Al Sharpton. 
      Black Lives Matter and Sharpton both openly and/or overtly encourage violence and the killing of police officers.  The new Black Panthers are even more open in advocating violence against whites.  This is beyond freedom of speech and must be prosecuted and stopped. 
       Some political leaders say we need an open conversation.  I agree.  We need to address the real problem of black crime, and stop aggravating the problem by listening to Black Lives Matter and Sharpton. 
        President Obama even used this event to bring up gun control again.  By blaming guns, he can avoid dealing with the real issues of Islamic terrorists and black crime.  Obama sympathizes with Black Lives Matter while ignoring thousands of black murders in Chicago, which has the strictest gun laws in the country.  Obama will probably ban trucks after the event in France - it makes just as much sense.
     Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at Manhattan Institute, and a contributing editor of City Journal.  On April 27, 2016, she gave a very interesting speech at Hillsdale Collage titled “The Dangers of the Black Lives Matter Movement.”  In this speech, she explains how the Black Lives Matter movement is killing blacks and police.  She points out how blacks are their own worst enemy, except for liberal whites.  Go to Imprimis.Hillsdale.edu for the speech.
         In the county where I live, we have a very proactive sheriff’s department.  Deputy Dave’s job is working with the schools in the county.  He talks about an elementary school student that seemed to be afraid of him.  When he asked her why, she said her parents told her that police killed people.  Can you imagine a child having such liberal morons for parents?
        The facts are that 95% of blacks killed are by blacks and only 1% by police.  One way to stop this is by having a more proactive police presence in high crime areas, but Black Lives Matter is opposed to this.  Their opposition puts both blacks and police in greater danger. 
      There are other groups that quietly endorse Black Lives Matter.  Gang bangers, criminals, and organized crime love Black Lives Matter.  If the police are stopped from being proactive, it will benefit street crime such as drug and gun trafficking.
      I think most people agree that to fix this problem, we have to have strong leaders at the top.  That is certainly not the case now.  I was not a supporter of President Obama, but I expected him to at least improve racial issues.  I’m sorry to say that I was wrong.  That is certainly not the case as race problems are worse now than any time in recent history.  We need strong, qualified leaders at the top.
