Joe Biden has his first State-of the-Something speech. I bet if you talk to Joe Biden, he wouldn’t know what it was. Or what time it was. or where it was. Or what day it was.

Whatever, let’s talk about it.

How’d the Speech Go

This speech was suppose to be a, kind of, State of the Union and an address for the Congress. Basically, Biden has hidden himself so much that he, or should I say, his administration is getting pressure to start talking.

But there is also a reason he needed to talk. He wants to push his American Families Plan. This is another $2 billion plan that does all sorts of bazaar things that will put us further into debt. This stuff is going to get harder and harder to sell.

In his first hundred days, Biden has passed:

• The COVID rescue plan that was $2.4 trillion.
• Proposed an infrastructure plan that only provides 6% of the $1.9 trillion to actual infrastructure.
• We still have to pay over $4 trillion just to keep the government open.

Biden wants to spend over $10 trillion of our money, which we don’t have, on garbage programs. Later, we are going to go through the American Families Plan from the WhiteHouse.gov website and talk about what this plan is going to give money to. I don’t even want to waste much time on the speech because it was simply a a bunch of platitudes and lies.

• First off, there were only 200 invited guests in a hall that holds about 1800. Everyone was distant but all were required to wear masks.
• As Biden was walking in, everyone was fist bumping. Seemed more of a backyard grunge party than a political speech.
• Biden started by pointing out he had a black woman as President of the Senate and a really old white woman as Speaker of the House. I’ll point out that this is a man who believes gender is fluid so why does he care.
• He started by talking about how America is awesome. Weird since he, this week, was saying how we were all systemically racist.
• He started selling his new plan saying how great it would be and that it would not add to the deficit. What?
• He said that his plan would only affect people earning $400K a year. A lie.
• He said the rich need to pay their fair share. A lie.
• He took credit for the COVID thing…again.
• We would “build back better” by “building back better”. OK.

0

As the speech went on, Joe began to lose it. He began to stumble. Fifty minutes into it he started to get mean against the United States. Just when people stopped listening. Or, like Ted Cruz and Chuck Schumer, started falling asleep. He talked about:

• America is racist.
• Guns violence is an epidemic and we must get rid of a gun.
• He talks about rifles having 100 rounds. I’ve never even seen one.
• He lied about gun violence and the “assault weapons” ban of the 90s.
• He brought up the “ghost guns” thing…again.
• White supremacy is a threat and is terrorism.
• He said that January 6 was the worst thing to happen to the United States since the Civil War. No talk about the riots of the last year.
• Allow men to compete against women.
• Violence against women act. Guess what? It’s already illegal to kill or beat a woman.
• He said some things that are really bad. Listen to the first:

No, no, no!

• OK, the deer in the Kevlar vest thing was kind of funny. But the number of rounds doesn’t count, it’s the size of the bullet that matters.
• By the way, armor-piercing bullets are illegal? Really?
• I’m a proud gun guy but I’ve never seen a 100-round magazine. In fact, I thought they were already illegal.
• Anyway, who is he to say what I need? Maybe I do need a 100-round magazine. Maybe I have a bad rabbit problem who keep eating my “organic” lettuce and carrots? Maybe there are so many bunnies, their farts are eating the O-zone layer?
• Gun owners do not support this. That’s a lie.
• Or maybe I fear a tyrannical government is trying to violate my Constitutional rights and I want to fight that tyranny. That’s what the Second Amendment is about. Don’t believe me? Read it.
•  Finally, the Constitution is absolute. If the law is not mentioned in the Constitution, then the law is up to the states.
• In fact, the Second Amendment of the Constitution is so absolute, people were able to keep cannons in there homes and ships. Because it was absolute.
• As far as the “You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater,” that’s BS. It’s not law. You can. If there’s a fire in a crowded theater. If you do and there is no fire, you are civically libel. Not Constitutionally.

This just proves that Joe Biden doesn’t not believe in the Constitution.

In the Constitution, “We the people…” does not mean all people. Those in the government are not considered, “We the people…”. The Constitution means citizens of the United States. It’s written to protect us from government.

Here’s the thing, the Founding Fathers were afraid we would free ourselves from one tyrannical government just to be overtaken by another, in this case organic, tyrannical government. Government officials are still considered citizens from “We the People” but were seen as very ambitious. So ambitious that they would become tyrants is left unchecked.

John Kerry might be in some trouble but I doubt it.

About 1.6 million people don’t like Gavin Newsom.

People are saying chow to blue states.

And the federalization of local police departments starts.

When Is His Prosecution

John Kerry is in some trouble. It’s going to be interesting to see if anything happens to him.

• A tape of a conversation with  Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was secretly released without his knowledge.
• This was a big deal. It showed that it was actually the Iran Revolutionary Guard and the Mulluahs creating the policies in Iran, not the political arm of the government.
• This was suspected but now has been confirmed. This is important because the Revolutionary Guard is responsible for a lot of terrorist plots.
• In the tape also came the surprise that John Kerry, the former Secretary of State, was telling Zarif that Israel was responsible for more than 200 attacks on Iran.
• News flash: this is against the law. He’s not allowed to do that. He cannot give classified information when he is no longer in the administration

Kerry tweeted:

“I can tell you that this story and these allegations are unequivocally false. This never happened – either when I was Secretary of State or since.”

When asked, Jen Psaki, the Press Secretary, said:

“We’re not going to comment on leaked tapes.”

Listen, John Kerry is a piece of crap. There was no question he was undermining the Trump administration during his presidency. Kerry was Iran twice and he had no business to be there. That’s because Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. He was recorded saying that Iran would just have to wait until the Trump administration was replaced and things would go back to the way they were with the next administration.

That’s not only a foreign agent violation, I would call it treason or, at least, sedition.

A bunch or Republicans are calling for Kerry to resign:

• Rep. Elise Stafanik (R-NY): “his is a criminal act and John Kerry must be immediately investigated and PROSECUTED. President Biden must immediately remove John Kerry from any government or advisory position.”
• Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley: “This is disgusting on many levels. Biden and Kerry have to answer for why Kerry would be tipping off Iran, the number one sponsor of terror, while stabbing one of our greatest partners, Israel, in the back.”
• Donald Trump Jr.: “Imagine for a second a Trump official sitting on the NSC, like Kerry does, told Iran details about Israeli strikes? I believe the media would be screaming TREASON and they wouldn’t be too far off, but of course they’ll say and do nothing because they’re useless propagandists.”
• Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN): “John Kerry must resign immediately. The investigation should be retrospective.”
• Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR): “These reports are concerning—I’d like the opportunity to ask Secretary Kerry about this in a closed hearing.”
• Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN): “If intel leak rumors are true, John Kerry should seriously consider resignation.”
• Sens. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and Rick Scott (R-FL) both called for Kerry to resign.

Listen, nothing is going to happen to him. But, if I were the Republicans, I would go after him. Hard. I would not only try to get him kicked out of office but I would try to get him indicted. The same thing happened to General Mike Flynn, who actually didn’t do anything illegal. And, if Kerry did say this, he gave away classified information that puts in danger one of our allies. I know he hates Jews and Israel but it is illegal to give away classified information. He should be indicted for that too.

It’s a Go!

The recall count has just been completed and we will have a recall election in California!

Gavin Newsom, the incompetent and hypocrite governor of California, is facing the second recall in my lifetime. He has been an absolute disaster and I would not be surprised if he were actually recalled.

• His COVID response was terrible.
• His state has the highest taxes in the country and a huge debt problem.
• His state has the highest homeless rate in the country.
• He has a huge drug and crime problem in the state.
• He’s a hypocrite on his COVID policy, spending time, unmasked, at the French Laundry Restaurant.
• His immigration policy is very unpopular.
• His transgender policy is very unpopular.

The recall is a two-step process. First, we vote on the recall. If we say “no” done. If we say “yes” we vote for another candidate. All we know is Caitlyn Jenner is running so we’ll see who actually runs.

I don’t think anything is going to happen. He won’t be recalled. Not because he wasn’t but because California is so corrupt that he will get away with it. I do not know one person, and I know a lot of people, who think he’s doing a good job or likable. I don’t know one person who is not going to vote to recall him. That includes leftists.

I have a feeling this recall election is just going to confirm my distrust of the voting process in California.

Speaking of F-ed Up States

People are getting sick and tired of these liberal states. The census numbers are out and the Democrats are running into some problems.

Democrats may now lose the Congress. They only have a 5 or 6 lead in it now.

Hopefully, those leaving blue states will not bring their crappy beliefs to the red states. What I think is that most people that actually vote red are moving to red states. That’s why I’m moving. I won’t be in California much longer because I hate this state.

Here We Go

The Department of Justice is now launching a probe into the Louisville, Kentucky police department. This comes after the Justice Department is running the same investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department.

This is not good:

• Small police departments can’t compete financially with the Justice Department. They usually concede and adopt the Justice Department’s recommendations.
• The problem with these investigations is they only look at who is being arrested and pulled over but do not look at the actual crimes committed and who committed them. They assume everyone is innocent.
• The recommendations usually do not lower crime. In fact, Obama did this several times during his Presidency and crime in each of those cities went up.
• This is really bad because it federalizes local police jurisdictions

.This is the federal government taking control.

Jim Jordan has an epic confrontation with Tony Fauci.

Another teen is killed in Chicago but, this time, by a cop. Not all things are as they seem in this one.

And Cardi B sounds like a conservative. A dumb conservative but a conservative none the less.

Epic!

Sorry, It Was a Good Shoot

So it is 2:30 in the morning and a 13-year-old kid is hanging out with a 21-year-old man. The police show up and the kid, who is holding a gun, takes off.

A police officer chases him with his body cam active. The kid has something in his hand.

The kid comes to a fence and a gun is clearly in his right hand. His hands disappear on the other side of a fence. The cop tell him to freeze and drop the gun.

The kid turns, not listening to the cop’s orders and the cop fires. There is no gun in his hand.

What do you think? Was that a good shoot?

The cop immediately starts CPR and is sobbing at what happened. The police find the gun laying against the fence.

This happened last month in Chicago.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

Police charged 21-year-old Ruben Roman, who was walking with Adam when police responded to the call of shots fired, with felony reckless discharge of a firearm, felony unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and felony endangerment of a child in connection with the incident. …

Footage from the officer’s body-worn camera shows his vantage point as he chases after the boy down an alley, repeatedly yelling for him to stop. The officer yelled, “Show me your f— hands.” The boy turned toward the officer with arms raised and nothing in his hands. The officer yelled, “Drop it, drop it,” and immediately fired a single shot before rushing over. …

A police report of the shooting indicates that officers thought the teenager was armed with a gun. Prosecutors said in Mr. Roman’s bond hearing that a 9-millimeter Ruger was found near the fence where the boy was shot.

A second video from a different angle shows the boy pausing before turning toward the officer, extending his arm behind a wooden fence as if tossing something, then raising his hands as he turns.

Of course, the media is making it that this is a racial shooting of an innocent child by a white cop.

AOC tweeted:

• Initial reports said he was an unarmed black child. He was armed and he wasn’t black.
• The only picture from the body cam footage shown by the media was Toledo holding up his hands when being shot.
• Because of the stills being used, the police released the body cam footage. In it, a gun can be seen and Toledo was hiding his hands.
• CBS News, in a contemptable manner, actually edited the video so that Toledo’s right hand, which was holding the gun, was not visible on the video.
• The media ignored the fact that the boy had ties to the Latin Kings gang. I’m not sure if he actually belonged to the gang.
• The media did not use either of his street names including Lil Homicide and Baby Diablo.
• They failed to mention there was gun shot residue on his hands, the gun and the gloves in the area.
• They failed to mention there were eight shots fired and the cops were called.

What the media is really ignoring is the parents. This kid was not at home for two days and the parents never reported it to the police. Also, what is he doing out at 3 AM with a 21-year-old felon? Why aren’t these questions being asked? It seems to be that the real issue here is that this kid’s life trajectory was headed to this point. He had no direction, no discipline and nobody teaching him the difference between right and wrong. It seems to be cops had very little to do with this. The conversation we should be having is about how bad our parenting. It is bad parenting that led to this kid’s death.

And this kid isn’t the only one in Chicago.

Gang violence in Chicago is among the worst in the country. And it all involves young people. And they are not being killed by police, they are killing each other. This tragedy is an opportunity for the media to actually address the murder problem in cities like Chicago and Baltimore because parenting is the problem and why the children feel the need to join gangs. But they will never do this because it goes against the narrative of the family unit being necessary which is what BLM has been promoting until they got into a little trouble over it.

The reason this is such a sad story is because it was avoidable. In this case, the shooting was good and the police are not the problem.

She Said What?

Cardi B weighed in on the shooting. In a tweet, she said:

Of course, she had no idea of the actual case. She probably just saw what was posted online and did not actually get into any of the details. I’m pretty sure details and know what is happening is probably not real high on Cardi B’s agenda. If it were, she might be a tad smarter.

Later in the day, when all the calls for getting rid of the police began to crawl through Twitter, she released this tweet:

Of course, on Twitter, this is not a popular thig to say. She must have gotten some crap for it because she later deleted the tweet.

But this is something significant and I pointed this out on a previous podcast.

People are reasonable. Mobs aren’t. When one thinks, and that is a stretch for Cardi B, the things the left is promoting doesn’t make any sense and seems kind of dangerous. And it’s not just with defunding the police. It applies to letting criminals out of jail, no cash bail, giving puberty blockers to children, changing pronouns, spending tons of money, pandemic lockdowns, everything that the left is pushing is going to eventually end up being questioned by individuals.

The Dems in the House of Representatives are pushing packing the Supreme Court and pushing the elimination of the filibuster.

It must be nice to be a Marxist.

And the left is trying to figure out how to get conservatives to take the COVID vaccine.

Relax, It’ll Probably Not Happen

…but if it does…

House Democrats are planning to introduce a bill that will pack the court by four justices. It will go from 9 to 13 and overturn the textualist majority.

This bill will also eliminate the filibuster.

• The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, Subcommittee chair Hank Johnson, and freshman Rep. Mondaire Jones. In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
• In 2016, Sen. Ted Cruz suggested that, if Hillary Clinton were elected, the Republican Senate should keep Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat empty, effectively bringing the number of justices down to eight.
• After Trump’s nomination of Coney Barrett, then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced pressure to stop her confirmation by any means necessary.
• The House only has a 2 Democrat lead.
• The Senate is split. There are two Democrats who have claimed that court packing is wrong.
• The war for our Democracy is on. If this gets through, the “neutral” Supreme Court will be a legislative branch for the Democrats.
• I don’t think it will happen and it rings a death knell for the Democrats.
• This bill will have to face a filibuster and there is no way it can get the votes to kill it.
• Because the bill has nothing to do with money, reconciliation can’t be used to kill the filibuster.
• Nancy Pelosi said she had no plans to bring the bill to the floor. Probably because she knows it won’t get through and will be another loss.

It’s Nice to be a Marxist

It muxt me nice to be a Marxist in a capitalist economy.

According to the NY Post:

Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37, also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes, The Post has learned. Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.

The self-described Marxist last month purchased a $1.4 million home on a secluded road a short drive from Malibu in Los Angeles, according to a report. The 2,370-square-foot property features “soaring ceilings, skylights and plenty of windows” with canyon views. The Topanga Canyon homestead, which includes two houses on a quarter-acre, is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, public records show.

That wasn’t it. She also:

• The “custom ranch” Patrisse Khan-Cullors owns in Georgia.
• Khan-Cullors’ home in Inglewood, Calif., is now worth $800,000.
• Khan-Cullors paid $590,000 for this South Los Angeles home.
• She now leads Bernie Sander in homes, 4-3. But it looks like she’s trying to extend that lead.

Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, which is not affiliated with Khan-Cullors’ Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, called for “an independent investigation” to find out how the global network spends its money.

Newsome said:

“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes. It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement.”

No shit. She’s in it for the money, dude. That’s what Marxists do.

Can These Guys Get It Together?

For some reason, the Democrats are seeing that there is a problem getting conservatives to take the COVID vaccine. Well, I know why.

• Biden says we might be able to get together in small groups by July.
• Biden doesn’t see a goal of opening schools even though a substantial part of the population has been vaccinated and children do not appear to transmit the disease.
• Tony Fauci says we should not only get rid of masks, but we should double and even triple mask.
• Tony Fauci has said that we still should gather or go to movies or restaurants even if we are vaccinated.
• The CDC overreacted over the Johnson and Johnson vaccine where 6 people got a rare blood clotting disorder, one dying, out of 7 million who were vacccinated.

Now I think this is bullshit. I have been trying to get vaccinated and it took two weeks to get an appointment. But apparently the media and the Biden administration really think not enough people are getting vaccinated. This does worry me. I know these vaccines were created under Trump’s watch and his direction but I worry if the Democrats and the left want us all to get it, it might not work.

Brian Stelter blames Fox News:

• First off, it’s none of your business.
• This also shows the difference between the elite thinking and regular people, like those on Fox News. I don’t care if Lady Gaga and Rachel Maddow got a shot. Maybe I just don’t want a shot.
• Finally, what id Brian Stelzer’s issue with Fox News?

The Biden administration is really pushing the vaccine especially with white conservative evangelicals. Pete Buttigieg said the vaccine is a life line from God. Listen:

Let’s see:

• He’s a gay man married to another man.
• He’s for abortion and thinks the federal government should pay for the abortion.
• He’s for drug legalization.
• He’s for open borders.
• He thinks the United States is systemically racists and believes in reparations.
• Believes in the Green News Deal which is anti-religion.

Does this sound like someone that evangelical Christian conservatives will listen to?

But it’s the Biden administration’s response to trying to educate those Neanderthal conservative Christians. Listen to Jen Psaki say how the administration is dealing with vaccine education. Mind you, she read this so it is a Biden policy for educating white conservatives.

Really? How out-of-touch are these people?

First off, I have never watched The Deadliest Catch. I don’t watch NASCAR. And I don’t like country music. Josie likes country music which is probably why she got the shot. But I would never see any of this stuff and it is insulting to assume I do. But this is because the administration sees all conservatives as white trash or, as Hilary Clinton said, deplorables.

Finally, if you think about it, this is really racist. What if she said the same thing about black people? What if the issue was the blacks were not getting immunized and Psaki walked out there and said the Biden administration has invested funds into advertising educational PSA on Fat Albert, Popeye’s and the NBA? Wouldn’t that be considered racist or, at least, stereotyping?

So unifying.

Another shooting in Minneapolis that spur violence. This time it looks like the police were at fault, sort of.

Really bad policing in Virginia caught on tape. But I’m pretty sure the blame could be spread around.

Bad, Bad, Bad Policing…If True

The Story So Far

• The suspect was a 20-year-old named  Daunte Wright.
• He had warrants for selling weed and a weapons charge.
• While the police were cuffing him, he got out of the cuffs and tried to re-enter the car. He was struggling with a male police officer.
• The female police officer pulled her weapon, thinking it was her taser.
• She yelled “taser” three times per protocol so her partner would back away.
• He backed away and she fired. It turned out to be her gun.
• Wright pulled away in his car.
• The female officer said, “I shot him” and dropped her weapon. (Show the video)
• Wright crashed a couple of blocks away and died at the scene.
• The police officer was a white female named Kimberly Potter, 48. She was on the force for 26 years. There has not been any other information out on her. She resigned today.

What I Think

I want to be sure everyone understands something. I feel confident that the story is right and it makes sense so I believe that this will be the story in the end.

Couple of things:

• Two things can be right at once.
• First, Wright resisted. If he just gave up, nothing would have happened. But he didn’t deserve to die.
• Two, the police officer is incompetent. She should be fired and charges should be brought against her (and probably will).
• This is not evidence of police brutality or systemic racism.

The Politicians and the Media

The politicians wasted no times at pushing their narrative.

Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz tweeted:

“I am closely monitoring the situation in Brooklyn Center. Gwen and I are praying for Daunte Wright’s family as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement.”

This son-of-a-bitch didn’t even have any details about the shooting.

Mayor Mike Elliot called for the police officer to be fired Monday. He said:

“my position is that we cannot afford to make mistakes that lead to the loss of life of other people in our profession. I do fully support releasing the officer of her duties.”

Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey didn’t quite agree with the mayor. He said:

“All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process with respect to discipline. This employee will receive due process and that’s really all that I can say today.”

The media pressed him on whether the police officer should be fired and he responded:

“If I were to answer that question, I’d be contradicting what I said a moment ago — which is to say that all employees are entitled to due process and after that due process, discipline will be determined. If I were to say anything else, I would actually be contradicting the idea of due process.”

The city council fired him two hours later.

By the way, Mayor Mike Elliot decided to support his police department by pulling the “thin blue line” flag which honors the police officers that have died while on duty. That’s a good look.

Eliot further made an ass out of himself by saying this:

Coming from a guy who knows a lot about policing. What happens if someone is armed? What are the police suppose to do? Use foul language?

Prepare for crime to flourish in that city.

Rashida Tlaib tweeted:

So we should get rid of policing all together. And prisons. And the military. Because it can’t be reformed. This is a broad who has a military presence around her place at work, lives in a secure building and has armed guards. This is an example of a politician that hates her constituents and the country. My proof? Violent crime is up 30% in all major cities. Cities that have already defunded and stopped support of the police. Ironically, she is also one that wants to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

President Obama decided to chime in. He tweeted:

He says there needs to be a transparent investigation but has already condemned the police. I also hate the term “reimagine”.

President Biden comment was the most wishy-washy thing I ever heard. Listen:

Couple of things:

• Biden sounds old and rambling. I cut a minute out of the message.
• He questions whether this was intentional.
• He does call for an investigation and peace on the streets. He never did this when Trump was President.
• He never says anything about the police. Not very unifying.
• Remember how people said this violence like we had in the summer was going to go away when Trump was out?
• Remember how Democrats supported the rioters when Trump was President?

The Media

As usual, riots ensued.

Last night, 500 people were arrested for looting, setting off fires and shooting off fireworks. I find it amazing that rioting under the Biden administration seems not to be acceptable but, under Trump, no one was arrested.

But, the media still doesn’t get it. They still refuse to believe that the riots are actually riots. This is the police chief getting chewed out by the media when he called the riots riots and him explaining how he knew there were riots:

Mind you, the police chief resigned today. He already knows he is going to get heat no matter what happens. He just said f-it.

CNN is also getting crap but from an unlikely source. This reporter was confronted by a citizen of Brooklyn Center during the riot while on live television. There’s a lot of cussing here so turn this off if you have kids around.

She really didn’t want to have this conversation with him on live television because it goes against the narrative the media is pushing. This citizen sounds like he hates the riots around a police station and court house and he feels the media actually fuels this violence.

Fact check: True!

This man wants law and order and it sounds like he supports policing. At least he supports it enough that he doesn’t want to see violent riots in front of a police station.

What this man did do that may not have been the best advice was to tell the CNN news crew to go to the front lines of the riot to see what was going on. I don’t think he meant for them to get hurt but those rioters were not too peaceful. In fact, they were looking for blood.

But, hey, it was mostly peaceful. Unless one was white then maybe not so much.

By the way, do you think unarmed social workers will be useful here? Do you think any claims of racism from the media for this obvious targeting of white by black rioters? What if the rioters weren’t black but was made up of Proud Boys (by the way, the Proud Boys aren’t a white supremacist group)?

Yeah, we won’t see this video on CNN any time soon.

Not Really Clear Cut

There was another case of bad policing in Virginia. And it was bad policing. But, watching the whole video a couple of times, I came to a bit of a different conclusion.

• An Army officer was lit up by police for not having a license plate while he was on his way back from base in his new car.
• The road he was driving on was dark. The officer put on his hazard lights and drove to a gas station. The trip was about 3 miles.
• The officer pulled into the station and the police officers got out of their car with guns drawn.
• They ordered him to get out of his car but he did not comply, asking why he was being pulled over.
• Backup was called.
• The army officer was black and Latino. The lead officer was Latino. The secondary officer was white.
• The army officer had his hands out of the window but would not come out of the car. The secondary white officer holstered his gun.
• The lead officer pulled out his mace and maced the army officer. He did it twice.
• The army officer finally was pulled from the car and put in handcuffs. He was detained not arrested.
• Because the car was new, the army officer did not have the plates. A temporary, paper plate was in his window. The window was tinted and unable to be viewed in any of the video.
• The army officer was released.
• When a complaint was lodged, both officers were fired.
• He is not suing the officers.

One should watch the entire video. There are a few things that really make this story far more complicated than at first glance and fault can be put on all sides.

• The police officers overreacted. The yelling and pulling of guns was probably not necessary.
• The officers threaten him with shooting him. When the soldier said he was scared the lead officer replied, “You should be.”
• Pepper spraying the subject, who had his hands out of the window and was talking to officers was not necessary. The fact that the second officer put away his gun shows he did not feel he was a threat.
• The officers did not realize that the yelling and pointing of guns is very nerve racking and it is hard to follow directions under such stress.
• The officers never deescalated the situation.

The army officer was also at fault. He almost escalated the situation himself.

• The army officer never complied with any of the commands of the police officers.
• The army officer was resisting and arguing.
• He was livestreaming the incident.
• His license plate was hidden behind the tinted glass.
• This had probably nothing to do with racism. The tinted windows and the night probably did not give the police a good view of the driver.

My point here is these instances are examples of bad policing. But the reality is the victims of these examples didn’t help themselves at all. One had a warrant, resisted arrest and tried to escape.
