MLoger: March 2015

Tuesday, March 31, 2015

“What we saw was that the Ferguson Police Department, in conjunction with the municipality, saw traffic stops, arrests, tickets as a revenue generator as opposed to serving the community and that it systematically was biased against African Americans in that city who were stopped, harassed, mistreated, abused, called names, fined, and then it was structured that they would get caught up in paying more and more fines that they couldn’t afford to pay or that were difficult for them to pay, which raised the amount of additional money they had to pay,” Obama said. “It was an oppressive and abusive situation.”

On the Kelly File an old point was made. If you go looking for racism (in this case) and you try hard enough you'll find it. Compound that with an other old saying; there are lies, damn lies, and statistics you get racism every where.
The Disparate Impact Racket

“Disparate impact” statistics have been used for decades, in many different contexts, to claim that discrimination is the reason why different groups are not equally represented as employees or in desirable positions or — as in this case — in undesirable positions as people arrested or fined."

This kind of tyranny is in law under the cover of disparate impact. The Supreme Court has largely up held this as discrimination.

"The implicit assumption is that without “discriminatory intent,” these statistics would reflect the percentages of people in the population. But no matter how plausible that outcome might seem on the surface, it is seldom found in real life, and those who use this standard are seldom, if ever, asked to produce hard evidence that it is factually correct, as distinct from politically correct."

Those of us who live with in St. Louis Metro Area (any thing within an hours drive of St. Louis and Ferguson) consider Ferguson as part of St.Louis.

McGraw Milhaven told Bill O'Reilly that Ferguson is not in a corn field. There is no separation of Ferguson and the Surrounding city. The percentage of blacks in Ferguson is Completely irrelevant. Just look at a map, please.

Holder Frames Ferguson PD For Racism Using Bogus 'Disparate Impact' Stats

"He notes that blacks accounted for 85% of vehicle stops, "despite comprising only 67% of Ferguson's population," while whites made up 15% of stops, despite representing 29% of the population.

So there you have it, a slam-dunk case of racism, right? Hardly.
Outrageously, the nation's top prosecutor failed to control for factors that explain the racial "disparity" in traffic stops, such as speeding, DUI, expired license plates, headlight, seat-belt and child-restraint violations and other reasons for being pulled over.

Holder's own department statistics show that African Americans, on average, violate speeding and other traffic laws at much greater rates than whites."

Lies, damn lies and statistics. Who gets control now?

AG Eric Holder: Ferguson 'Under Assault and Under Siege' by Cops

"The Justice Department now is in talks with city officials about enacting the 26 recommendations made in the report, and U.S. officials said they’re optimistic that changes can be made to repair relations in the community."

"Justice Department officials characterized the meeting as productive and said that the Ferguson officials, including the city’s mayor and police chief, seemed genuinely interested in enacting changes. The officials, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Ferguson has already taken some steps to address the issues.
There was no deadline to reach a settlement. If an agreement can’t be reached, the Justice Department can file a federal lawsuit seeking to force changes.

In the past six years, the officials said, the department has opened 20 investigations of police departments and entered 15 such settlement agreements."

Ferguson, the Police where Right

The first night of the rioting \ demonstrating the police where right to show force.
To do what was done after that was irresponsible. Apparently its common knowledge among larger police forces not to give demonstration the time to heat up.
Rudy Giuliani Tells Megyn Kelly How He Would Handle Ferguson Riots

They allowed a cooling off period, or a venting period. Remember all that time that rocks were being thrown and cars were being over-turned and windows were being broken and the police were backing off?

At times the cops stood by as private property was not only broken into but burned. That is why the anti militarization people are wrong. The clear message should be say what you want, protest all you want. However, the second you throw things, damage property, steal, set fire, or commit violence the arrests and use of tear gas, shields, rubber bullets, ect. will immediately follow.

That is common sense to me. That is not to say that every federal agency or medium size town needs a swat team or armored personal carrier. On that the anti-militarization people are right. There are times those resources are necessary. Why can't they be shared and used when needed? Why is it a matter or course to run raids at night or to have a shoot the family pet first ask question latter?

The United States of SWAT?

The proliferation of paramilitary federal SWAT teams inevitably brings abuses that have nothing to do with either drugs or terrorism. Many of the raids they conduct are against harmless, often innocent, Americans who typically are accused of non-violent civil or administrative violations.

The overreach off police shooting dogs and arresting people for asking questions or filming gives fuel to those who would and have at times restrained them to the point of uselessness. Police are the stick or crook not the shepherd. The shepherds are the politicians, our supposed leaders. They have allowed this, even encouraged it. The shepherds in Ferguson used their crooks to collect money it would seem. It has nothing to do with militarization or racism. It is the acceptance of the small corruptions that hid the destruction of the under lying system. Once in a while the cover must be maintained.

Missouri Appeals Court to Take Over All Ferguson Cases

The Missouri Supreme Court said it is assigning state appeals Judge Roy Richter to hear all of Ferguson’s pending and future municipal court cases. The high court said Richter also will have the authority to overhaul court policies to ensure defendants’ rights are respected and to “restore the integrity of the system.”

Social Terraforming or Conspiracy

One might call it electoral terraforming, like turning Colorado blue. This is the US government with progressive groups and the UN using corrosion to change the make up of areas across the country.

"The author writes, “Change on this scale is never easy, neither for immigrants nor for the communities into which they settle, referred to as “receiving communities.” The booklet is designed to teach others of like mind how to convince citizens to accept and adapt. It’s loaded with resources as well."

It is possible this fell from a black helicopter. I am of the "three people can only keep a secret if two are dead" and the "don't blame on conspiracy what you can blame on incompetence" camps. It makes the following very hard not to just ignore.
“Country Within a Country” Toolkit for Developing “Receiving Communities”

'Sixteen White House officials, including a top advisor to Barack Obama, Cecilia Munoz, recently joined open borders groups in conference calls to brainstorm plans to form a country within a country comprised of immigrants who would eventually become the new Americans, overshadowing citizens. In order to make this happen, they must have “receiving communities”.'

It's really just poor labeling, they misspoke.

Some of us first heard the term “New Americans” in lieu of the term illegal immigrants in April 2013 when it was used in the Senate immigration bill. The bill for all intents and purposes abolished the terms “illegal alien” and “illegal immigrant,” substituting “registered new Americans.” The “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services” was to be called the “Office of Citizenship and New Americans.”

President Obama has recently taken to calling immigrants, including illegal immigrants, “Americans-in-waiting.”

They are Alinskyites. Language is a weapon. So this is just a half baked trial balloon from a small rouge group appropriating the language.

It’s a form of messaging and arguably propaganda, something we see emphasized in the “toolkit” for developing “receiving communities” put out by Welcoming America, a group funded by George Soros’ Center for American Progress and the JM Kaplan Fund. The JM Kaplan Fund was one of the extremely left wing groups that has been and continues to pay out thousands to identify every group on the right as a “hate group.”
Welcoming America’s handbook or toolkit, Receiving Communities Toolkit – Welcoming America, outlines the tactics that can be employed to transform communities.

The snarl of incestuous progressive groups plotting in the background is not new. As well bureaucrats are always cooking up some unworkable nonsense that never dies but never gets implemented. Today the two work together, the press cover little, congress and the supreme court will not stop it and executive bureaucrats have been taught well that they can get away with it. Conspiracy never really worry me. Like minded people untethered from reality with no one watching that does. And the UN is helping, that's a good sign.

"The Obama administration is encouraging far more expansive immigration through illegal immigration and asylum seeking.
Refugees are worth special note because they get immediate income, housing, food, clothing, medical care, education, and a pathway to citizenship.
The U.N. is screening most of the refugees coming into the United States and it is an organization that has never been known for its support of the United States. It is a gathering place for some of the world’s worst dictators.
The spring institute for cultural learning referred to in the toolkit is part of Soros ’Reform Immigration for America. They receive large federal and local grants as do all these leftist open borders groups. In other words, you get to pay for your own “country within a country”."
