White Cop in a Black City"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>That Atlanta cop who shot the black guy who shot at him with a taser is being charged with murder.\u00a0 Think about what that job must be like nowadays.\u00a0 The criminals and the low lives won\u2019t allow themselves to be arrested anymore.\u00a0 They\u2019ll fight you, try to get your gun and if you do your job or defend yourself, you\u2019ll be charged with murder if the perp dies.\u00a0 You have to wear a camera all the time and any altercation that gets ugly leaves you liable to police brutality charges and disciplinary actions.\u00a0 The brazenness of the criminals means you stand a good chance of being shot or stabbed or assaulted in some fashion and the black population hates and insults you at every turn.\u00a0 Your food will be poisoned in fast food joints by the minimum wage employees from the neighborhood and your chain of command and the mayor will turn on you at the drop of a hat and feed you to the sharks.<\/p>\n<p>So, you might ask yourself why would anyone want to be a white cop in a black city.\u00a0 The short answer is it used not to be this bad.\u00a0 And that has been true forever.\u00a0 The cities have been getting progressively worse over the course of the last century but we have now reached the breaking point.\u00a0 Places like Baltimore, St. Louis, Kansas City and Atlanta have finally reached the point where the cop\u2019s job is untenable.<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t they quit?\u00a0 Well the pay is good; the benefits are very good and the retirement is excellent.\u00a0 Some cops can retire at twenty years in.\u00a0 That means you could be thirty-eight and retiring on full pay.\u00a0 Plus, if you quit now what would you do?\u00a0 Your family is local.\u00a0 Your kids are in school in a suburb and you have roots in the community.\u00a0 What job would pay anything close to what you currently make?\u00a0 You want to stay.\u00a0 But how to avoid ending up in jail?<\/p>\n<p>What I expect to see from now on is cops ignoring all black crime.\u00a0 I\u2019m not even sure they\u2019ll intervene in a gang shootout.\u00a0 They\u2019ll just wait for the two sides to run out of bullets and call the ambulances to collect the ones who didn\u2019t avoid the flying lead.\u00a0 And this probably will hold for black criminals in white neighborhoods.\u00a0 And that will hasten the white flight that is already gripping the cities that recently went through the riots.\u00a0 I\u2019ve spoken to Manhattanites who tell me that the middle-class people are looking to get out.\u00a0 The way it was explained to me the rich don\u2019t care because they are completely insulated from the impact.\u00a0 They have their own schools and security arrangements and if things get really bad, they\u2019ll just stay out at their homes in the Hamptons until the violence blows over.\u00a0 But the middle class have none of these buffers.\u00a0 So, they\u2019re leaving.\u00a0 And when they do the city starts sinking.\u00a0 The tax base will disappear and city services will suffer drastic cuts and then even the rich will leave.\u00a0 And once that happens you get Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>I only hope no more white guys become cops in black cities.\u00a0 Let the guys in there get out as soon as they can and then let the jobs be filled by black city dwellers.\u00a0 That will be the perfect solution.\u00a0 I guarantee that the denizens won\u2019t like it much.\u00a0 The criminals won\u2019t be able to yell racism and the black cops won\u2019t worry about police brutality.\u00a0 But the honest citizens will be the ones to pity.\u00a0 The levels of corruption and incompetency in black run cities are usually impressive.\u00a0 Baltimore is on their second mayor convicted of financial crimes associated with the office and I believe the next mayor will be one of those two coming back for another try.\u00a0 Detroit politics are so laughably corrupt that Michigan had to step in and oversee much of their finances.\u00a0 And the school systems are truly frightening in their dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>But the best outcome in Atlanta would be for the whole police force to resign en masse.\u00a0 Within a month there wouldn\u2019t be a single business unlooted in the whole city.\u00a0 The murder rate would be so high that the people tallying it would give it up as unmanageable.\u00a0 And Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms would beg the police on bended knee to come back.\u00a0 She would somehow have the officer who was arrested for murder cleared of the charge and reinstated.<\/p>\n<p>That would be the best outcome for Atlanta.\u00a0 But it would not be the best outcome for those policemen.\u00a0 Their jobs will never be anything but hellish.\u00a0 They should get out and stay out.\u00a0 These cities are unmanageable and will only get worse.\u00a0 Let the people there manage themselves.\u00a0 Let the Democrats rule all the Detroits they are making.\u00a0 After all, White Lives Matter too.\u00a0 At least to us they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That Atlanta cop who shot the black guy who shot at him with a taser
