The Meltdown of Law Enforcement

The Meltdown of Law Enforcement - Todd Strandberg - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html

 

You would have to go back to the 1960s to find a time of greater racial strife in America. The killing of two black men and five white police officers are signs that our nation is unraveling.

 

The center of the unrest is the belief that the police are purposely choosing to murder blacks. The sight of white police officers killing blacks looks disturbing because the media coverage is driven by an agenda. When a black man shoots a white cop, the press is silent. When a black man is killed by a cop, it's time for "Breaking News."

 

Anyone doubting the orchestration of events need only observe the media's reaction to the Dallas shooting.

 

In the ambush, five police officers were killed and seven others were wounded, making it the deadliest single incident for U.S. law enforcement since September 11, 2001. The murders should have been a major embarrassment to the liberal media, Black Lives Matters, and the Obama Administration. Instead the tragedy was used to further their agendas.

 

The press gave the standard coverage they would give to any major tragedy. Two short days later, they went right back to where they were before the Dallas attack. The Sunday nightly newscasts led with narratives like this: "Anger grows over the shooting of two black men."

 

I do not know how Obama can spend years as a racial strife arsonist, and then go down to Dallas and say, "We are not as divided as we seem." He should have spoken only about the evil of the shooter and the need to appreciate the daily sacrifice of all police officers. He hijacked the memorial by going after gun-rights and repeatedly defending the protesters. This is a pattern he has established after each tragedy involving blacks or Muslims.

 

This war on law enforcement has had a devastating impact on the morale of local police forces. In most inner cities, cops are quitting in droves while murder rates soar. Officers are abandoning the Baltimore police force, and not many are applying to take their place.

 

At the beginning of 2015, Baltimore had 2,805 officers on its police force. By the end of the year, though, the force had shrunk to 2,634 officers-a drop of 6.1 percent. That decline has only accelerated in 2016, with the force dropping to just 2,445 in June, a decrease of 6.8 percent from January.

 

With fewer police on the streets, there is obviously going to be more crime. Murders in Baltimore surged a staggering 63 percent in 2015, with 344 people killed. The city's pace is somewhat slower this year, but still well above what it was just a few years ago.

 

The city of Chicago has become infamous for its murder rate. During the Independence Day weekend, at least 64 people were shot. Before the holiday, the city officials tried to suppress the carnage by arresting 88 gang members. Homicides were up nearly 50 percent for the first half of 2016 compared to the same period last year. Chicago is on pace to record well over 600 homicides for the year; a bleak yardstick that was last surpassed in 2003.

 

A key factor that is fueling the soaring murder rate is the refusal of blacks to help solve crimes. A detective stated:

 

From patrol to investigation, it's almost an undoable job now. If I get out of my car, the guys get hostile right away and several people are taping (with cell phones). Bystanders tamper with crime scenes and aggressively interfere with investigations. Additional officers may be needed during an arrest to keep angry onlookers away. It's very dangerous out there now.

 

The black community views the police as so dangerous they have "the talk" with their children. The odds of a black person being killed by another black person are roughly 100 times higher than the odds of them being killed by a member of law enforcement. With rampant irrational behavior taking over, the odds will soon be 200, 400 or 1000 times higher.

 

By ignoring these stats the left has been essentially seeking the legalization of black and black crime. These horrendous black crime stats rarely make it to the nightly news. Obama never talks about blacks killing other blacks, and the Black Lives Matter thugs would be pleased to have their communities as "no go zones" for cops.

 

I could predict that crime is going to leapfrog higher in the coming months, but that would be like predicting the sun is going to rise tomorrow morning. It's like trying to cure cancer by destroying a person's immune system.

 

Once people wake-up and realize there is too much crime, they will learn that President Obama does have a (diabolical) answer to the problem. In March 2015, a report, titled "President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing Report," was published. It urges the federal government to federalize police training and practices, via the use of federal lawsuits, grants and threats to cut federal aid.

 

Already, more than 30 police jurisdictions have been forced to adopt federal rules. If we were to have rioting in numerous cities, there would be cries for the creation of a national police system which would lead to more federal government control and the loss of more of our freedoms.

 

God is holding back total lawlessness. A key thing to understand is that the day will soon come when He lets go and every day will become a terrorist nightmare in real time from which no one can escape.

 

"For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

 

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness" (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12).
