Black Lives Matter - a Hate Group

The “Fetal” Effect – by BLM

The Fetal Effect – what has not happened yet is the lively presence of the Black Lives Matter movement in Cleveland, Ohio. It will most likely develop into chaos either today or tomorrow as the GOP convention comes to a close. They will demand that cops let them through the barriers and allow them to rush the convention center.

However, what has happened after the shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge is the unbinding effect of the ‘fetal’ position cops took under political pressure by the White House and the U.S. Attorney General who criticized them harshly. In addition, we cannot forget all those police officers who are constantly being singled out and ambushed as they perform their duties without regard to their own lives and still protecting and serving the public.

There is no way that the BLM people are backing off on the cops and the GOP candidate, Donald Trump. They are actively opposing any agenda or policy regarding law and order and will demonstrate their vile and spewing hateful behaviors soon. They won’t disappoint us. The cops will have their hands full but are prepared to handle this as well. Lawbreaking by criminals during the Ferguson riots demonstrated the hate spewing group as they really are. It is reasonable that the Cleveland police are equipped to handle the worst case scenario at this time.

Violence is on the rise – it is increasing after 20 years of decline because of political inferences and influences that reveal a ‘soft’ approach to these protesters who turn into thugs and terrorist when they are let off the leash. Their target is not reforms but rather, the destruction of police agencies. They want anarchy and riots and chaos so martial law can be imposed.

This violence is passively sponsored by the Attorney General and the White House; they have given the BLM movement more attention and consideration than they have the consolidated efforts of over 100 police chiefs who met with them in the WH in the fall of 2015. It is true, they met to organize a strategy to combat crime but they also set the police up for more criminal activities by hiring actors and individuals to demonstrate and pay them to destroy Ferguson, Baltimore and any city or locale on their list.

It was like they had the inside scoop of the expected police reactions and used them in a playbook to counter the police tactics and make it more violent and create more destruction than ever. In essence, cops got set up by the Justice Department. Baltimore is a good case of such behaviors and how the cops were told to ‘stand down.’ In a matter of speaking, they criticized cops to the point where cops began to drop arrests, stop serving summons and various stop and frisk programs due to the dangers posed on contact with those who resist cops and their duties.

The police, rather than standing their ground, were told to withdraw and be reasonable, sensible and compassionate by those in power. In many ways, cops became ‘fetal’ in their abilities to do their jobs. Being fetal is worse than being restrained because of the vulnerability of being in such a position. It has a negative impact on police morale. It sets the police up for easy targets and that is exactly what has happened.

Cops are coming out of this fetal position out of sheer need to do so as they are being targeted and attacked by snipers and others. Crime is back up and cops are on the target list. Cleveland police chose to be proactive for the convention and barricaded the convention center with a secured perimeter than assures them the protesters will not reach the podium and take the stage hostage.
A garden-variety Black Lives Matter march with slogans and chants of “F–––the Police,” “Murderer Cops” and “Racism Is the Disease, Revolution Is the Cure” T-shirts as well as “Stop Police Terror” signs has been contained, not eliminated. They are in conference for their next strategy.

In the meantime, officers are working routinely, surrounded by angry crowds, when they question a suspect or make an arrest. Officers continue to rush to crime scenes after someone has already been victimized, sometimes getting shot at in the process. BLM wants the cops to lessen their engagement with the community. They want the cops to surrender the streets to the people.

They want the cops to look the other way. They threaten more demonstrations if cops don’t withdraw their presence in the streets and communities. Today, this stage of the plan to maintain law and order is critical. Under such conditions, it is not surprising that proactive policing is down. Remember, such policing is discretionary. Cops don’t have to do it. And they have been told not to do it by activists and the media, who accuse them of racism for making stops in high-crime areas. That is the danger of movement like Black Lives Matter – they preach anarchy and not law and order.

Sharing the open letter to law enforcement from the POTUS

The National Fraternal Order of Police shared the letter on its Facebook page, and offered this comment:

The reason this letter has value is that we want and deserve to change the National Dialogue. The people of this country respect law enforcement. Now we continue to speak out about the issues that have helped create disconnects with members of the communities to work so hard to protect.

 

We can and do provide the best quality law enforcement that we can but we cannot be held responsible for the social issues such as poverty, lack of mental health services, unemployment, and abject poverty. The work now is to assist our communities by continuing to recognize that we are but one spoke in the wheel and we will do our part. Now it's time for politicians and government to assist us in working in the communities we have always worked in to make life better for all Americans.

Here is a transcript of the President's letter: 

To the brave members of our Nation’s law enforcement community:

Every day, you confront danger so it does not find our families, carry burdens so they do not fall to us, and courageously meet test after test to keep us safe.  Like Dallas officer Lorne Ahrens, who bought dinner for a homeless man the night before he died, you perform good deeds beyond the call of duty and out of the spotlight.  Time and again, you make the split-second decisions that could mean life or death for you and many others in harm’s way.  You endure the tense minutes and long hours over lifetimes of service.

Every day, you accept this responsibility and you see your colleagues do their difficult, dangerous jobs with equal valor.  I want you to know that the American people see it, too.  We recognize it, we respect it, we appreciate it, and we depend on you.  And just as your tight-knit law enforcement family feels the recent losses to your core, our Nation grieves alongside you.  Any attack on police is an unjustified attack on all of us.

I’ve spent a lot of time with law enforcement over the past couple of weeks.  I know that you take each of these tragedies personally, and that each is as devastating as a loss in the family.  Sunday’s shooting in Baton Rouge was no different.  Together, we mourn Montrell Jackson, Matthew Gerald, and Brad Garafola.  Each was a husband.  Each was a father.  Each was a proud member of his community.  And each fallen officer is one too many.  Last week, I met with the families of the Dallas officers who were killed, and I called the families of those who were killed in the line of duty yesterday in Baton Rouge.  I let them know how deeply we ache for the loss of their loved ones.

Some are trying to use this moment to divide police and the communities you serve.  I reject those efforts, for they do not reflect the reality of our Nation.  Officer Jackson knew this too, when just days ago he asked us to keep hatred from our hearts.  Instead, he offered—to protestors and fellow police officers alike—a hug to anyone who saw him on the street.  He offered himself as a fellow worshipper to anyone who sought to pray.  Today, we offer our comfort and our prayers to his family, to the Geralds and the Garafolas, and to the tight-knit Baton Rouge law enforcement community.

As you continue to serve us in this tumultuous hour, we again recognize that we can no longer ask you to solve issues we refuse to address as a society.  We should give you the resources you need to do your job, including our full-throated support.  We must give you the tools you need to build and strengthen the bonds of trust with those you serve, and our best efforts to address the underlying challenges that contribute to crime and unrest.

As you continue to defend us with quiet dignity, we proclaim loudly our appreciation for the acts of service you perform as part of your daily routine.  When you see civilians at risk, you don’t see them as strangers.  You see them as your own family, and you lay your life on the line for them.  You put others’ safety before your own, and you remind us that loving our country means loving one another.  Even when some protest you, you protect them.  What is more professional than that?  What is more patriotic?  What is a prouder example of our most basic freedoms—to speech, to assembly, to life, and to liberty?  And at the end of the day, you have a right to go home to your family, just like anybody else.

Robert Kennedy, once our Nation’s highest-ranking law enforcement official, lamented in the wake of unjust violence a country in which we look at our neighbors as people “with whom we share a city, but not a community.”  This is a time for us to reaffirm that what makes us special is that we are not only a country, but also a community.  That is true whether you are black or white, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are a police officer or someone they protect and serve.

With that understanding—an understanding of the goodness and decency I have seen of our Nation not only in the past few weeks, but throughout my life—we will get through this difficult time together.

We will do it with the love and empathy of public servants like those we have lost in recent days.  We will do it with the resilience of cities like Dallas that quickly came together to restore order and deepen unity and understanding.  We will do it with the grace of loved ones who even in their grief have spoken out against vengeance toward police.  We will do it with the good will of activists like those I have sat with in recent days, who have pledged to work together to reduce violence even as they voice their disappointments and fears.

As we bind up our wounds, we must come together to ensure that those who try to divide us do not succeed.  We are at our best when we recognize our common humanity, set an example for our children of trust and responsibility, and honor the sacrifices of our bravest by coming together to be better.

Thank you for your courageous service.  We have your backs.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
