I’ve tried to stay away from the social media and reporting by supposed journalists that surround the St. Louis County suburb of Ferguson, Missouri and what is happening presently and what has happened over the past five days. But as a uninterested observer, there is something that is being promoted that we all need to pay attention to.
There’s a confluence between the black rioters and the militarized police. If I didn’t know better, I would think this was all staged. Think about it, a neighborhood in St. Louis where this mostly doesn’t happen, the black residents are generally content due to them getting gov’t benefits, an unarmed black kid shot just weeks before he goes to college and a white policeman who still hasn’t been named. This is the perfect scenario for what the elites want to happen. The riots and looting were just icing on the cake which given the police inactivity on Sunday just made the narrative even better.
What’s the narrative? That blacks will riot even for the most minimal of reasons. The other narrative? That militarized police are needed to either contain or brutalize these same groups of people that protest against their brutalization. Either way, both groups, the blacks on one hand and the militarized police on the other promote the narrative that it is only the police that can protect us. Doesn’t really matter that the past four days of protest have been mostly peaceful and the looting was done by individuals that didn’t even live in Ferguson and the police stood by and let them do it, the narrative has to be protected at all costs.
Thus the confluence.
The cops get to justify their increased militarization and the black neighborhoods get even more handouts. Don’t wan’t riots every weekend do we? Plus, the cops get even more immunity for their murderous behavior not like they don’t have nearly complete immunity already. I’m not being apologetic for the black community, Lord knows they’ve got problems that I have no expertise to even address, but if I was a black man, I know that being a target would be a fact of life. That kind of shit will make anyone crazy.
I wonder if this would happen if this was a bunch of white kids protesting. Oh snap, we have a perfectly good example with the Occupy movements all over the country a couple of years ago. Militarized police brutalizing peaceful protesters.
Confluence.
I wonder what will happen when the redneck deer hunters that can harvest a deer at over 500 yards start stationing themselves on rooftops whenever something like this happens again which it will.
May you live in interesting times.
