Episode 331 – Too Bad We Can’t Learn Something

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.
