KILLER WAS ‘PERVERT’: Dallas Shooter Sexually Harassed Woman in Army

Posted on | July 10, 2016 | 13 Comments

Micah Johnson (left) reportedly harassed Sgt. Anna Ma.

More details have emerged about Micah Xavier Johnson, the racial terrorist who murdered five Dallas police officers Thursday. Johnson received an honorable discharge from the Army Reserves in 2014 despite being charged with sexual harassment during his deployment:

The Dallas sniper had been sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female . . .
For six years starting in 2009, Johnson served in the Army Reserve as a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry, the military said.
In May 2014, six months into his Afghanistan tour, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier. The Army sent him stateside, recommending an “other than honorable discharge,” said Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him.
That recommendation was “highly unusual,” Bradford said, since counseling is usually ordered before more drastic steps are taken.
“In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself,” Glendening told The Associated Press. “I’m sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit.”
According to a court filing Glendening read over the phone Friday, the victim said she wanted Johnson to “receive mental help,” while also seeking a protective order to keep him away from her and her family, wherever they went. Johnson was ordered to avoid all contact with her.
Glendening said Johnson was set to be removed from the Army in September 2014 because of the incident, but instead got an honorable discharge months later — for reasons he can’t understand.

On his now-deleted Facebook page, Micah Johnson was a supporter of several black separatist and Afrocentric causes, including the African American Defense League (AADL). Before he returned to civilian life, however, Johnson was known to soldiers who served with him in Afghanistan as a “pervert” with a habit of “stealing girls’ panties”:

Johnson, a private in the American Army, was deployed to Afghanistan in November 2013 with the 420th Engineer Brigade.
While he was there, his colleague Anna Ma, 25, accused him of sexual harassment, according to a military lawyer who represented Johnson when he returned home in May 2014.
Dallas-based Bradford Glendening said: ‘He made unwanted sexual advances towards her.
‘It was all verbal. He was bothering and harassing her.’
According to legal documents, Anna begged for a ‘protective order against Johnson pertaining to myself, my family home and any other place of residence I may reside at’.
Wells Newsome, who served alongside Johnson in Afghanistan, wrote on Facebook: ‘We all knew he was a pervert cuz [sic] he got caught stealing girls’ panties, but murdering cops is a different story.’
Johnson waived his right to a military court hearing in the wake of the allegations. Despite the claims, he left the Army in April 2015 with an honourable discharge. Glendening said: ‘Someone really screwed up — but to my client’s benefit.’

In the immediate aftermath of Thursday’s anti-police terrorist attack in Dallas, a Facebook page celebrating Micah Johnson as a hero got hundreds of “likes” from supporters of the “Black Lives Matter” movement. A photo on Johnson’s now-deleted Facebook page showed him shaking hands with “Professor Griff” of the rap group Public Enemy.

Public Enemy was known for its “black power” stance. However, the rapper (real name Richard Griffin) distanced himself from the violence committed by the group’s fan, claiming he had no idea where he met Micah Johnson. “I do not know the shooter,” Profesor Griff said on Twitter Friday. “I will not sit back and let these people assassinate my character and tie me to the Dallas shootings. . . . The police and FBI have been watching me and tapping my phone. They know who I talk to. I do not advocate killing cops. I do not train snipers to kill cops.”

Bill Clinton Met With Anti-Police Hate Group Leader Two Months Ago

Posted on | July 9, 2016 | 12 Comments

Bill Clinton and Mauricelm-Lei Millere in May.

During a campaign visit to Kentucky this year former President Bill Clinton met with the leader of a racial hate group that has been implicated in Thursday’s attack that killed five Dallas police officers.

Mauricelm-Lei Millere is leader of the African American Defense League (AADL), which has repeatedly advocated violence against police. Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson supported the AADL on Facebook, where Millere’s group posted messages that declared “ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN” and “sprinkle Pigs Blood” prior to Thursday’s attack. On his Instagram page, Millere wrote: “We have no alternative! We must kill white police officers across the country!”

 

The AADL leader’s meeting with former President Clinton during a May 3 visit to the University of Kentucky is featured on Millere’s Tumblr page, where a photo of Millere shaking hands with Clinton is captioned:

Dr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere accompanies President Bill Clinton and staff around the University of Kentucky campus:
“I was invited to meet with President and Mrs. Clinton and accompany them openly on UK (University of Kentucky) campus. I appreciate his honesty during my hard hitting questions concerning race. He agrees, “anyone should be able to exercise their 2nd Amendment Rights in areas of self-defense, especially African Americans, the most targeted people in the country. I am asking for your endorsement for Hillary and I so you won’t have to.” I agreed with his assessment and replied, “Either we will all live together as brothers or we will all die together as fool.”
Dr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere – African American Defense League, Black Lives Matter.

AADL was formed in September 2014 during the “Black Lives Matter” protests in Ferguson, Missouri, where activists claimed robbery suspect Michael Brown was wrongly killed by a policeman. Subsequent investigation found Officer Darren Wilson had shot Brown in self-defense during a struggle in which Brown tried to take Officer Wilson’s pistol. However,”the lie that Brown had died in a racially motivated police execution was amplified by the media, college presidents, and the left-wing political class,” as author Heather Mac Donald wrote in her recent book The War on Cops. “The newly formed Black Lives Matter movement promoted the notion that black Americans were being hunted down and killed with impunity by renegade white police officers.”

James King and Adi Cohen of Vocativ.com report:

In the days following Brown’s death, Mauricelm-Lei Millere encouraged Black people to kill Wilson. “When you find Dar­ren Wil­son you know what to do! Who­ever finds him knows what must be done! Take every­thing that he took from Mike Brown,” he wrote on his Facebook page, which was cited by the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights advocacy group that tracks extremist organizations. Despite the fiery rhetoric, Millere’s actual influence seems limited.
“He uses social media to call for violence against police on a regular basis and has flirted with some hate groups like the New Black Panther Party,” Oren Segal, the director of the ADL’s Center on Extremism, told Vocativ. “But his online following seems stagnant and even his relationship with the New Black Panther Party seems tenuous, and they tend to promote anyone who is interested in them.”
Still, Millere’s “calls for violence can’t be ignored and it is hard to determine who may have been affected by his online rants,” Segal added.

 

 

Millere’s anti-police rhetoric increased immediately prior to the Dallas attack, as his Tumblr page quotes him saying on Thursday:

We have no alternative! We must kill white police officers across the country! . . . Across the country, the nation, the Blackman is being assassinated/killed like dogs! Unarmed Blackmen being shot down like animals. Two legged dogs sicking four legged dogs on our black children, young men, young women, and our black elderly. Shooting black folks down like rabid animals. We must kill the one in blue who is killing me and killing you! We must kill the white policeman across the country! We must hide in the darkness of the night and kill the white policeman across the country!

After Thursday’s massacre in Dallas, Hillary Clinton blamed “white people” and police. “I’m going to be talking to white people, we’re the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens,” Mrs. Clinton told CNN Friday. “Clearly, there seems to be a terrible disconnect between many police departments and officers and the people they have sworn to protect.”

Meanwhile, police are being targeted in ambush attacks. In Missouri, a police officer was critically wounded Friday in what officials say was “clearly an ambush” by 31-year-old Antonio Taylor, who had a lengthy history of violent crime. In Georgia, a police officer was ambushed Friday after responding to a 911 call in Valdosta. Officer Randall Hancock is recovering after being shot; the suspect, Stephen Paul Beck, was wounded when Officer Hancock returned fire.

In Tennessee, officials indicated race was a motive for Thursday’s shooting rampage in which a woman was killed and two others injured before the gunman was shot in a gun battle with police. Officer Matthew Cousins was wounded in the exchange of fire with suspect Lakeem Keon Scott, 37. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a statement: “Preliminarily, the investigation reveals Scott may have targeted individuals and officers after being troubled by recent incidents involving African-Americans and law enforcement officers in other parts of the country.” Scott was receiving disability payments and did not have a job. “He seemed to be getting more and more frustrated with the condition of black people in America,” his brother Gerard Griffin told WVLT-TV.

THE WAR ON COPS: Police Shot in Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 54 Comments

Thursday’s attack that killed five police officers in Dallas — inspired by the hate group “Black Lives Matter” — was part of an ongoing wave of violent racial terrorism targeting American law enforcement. In Tennessee, a police officer was wounded Thursday in a gun battle with a man who went on a shooting spree that apparently targeted white people, in which one woman was killed and two other people were injured:

According to the [Tennessee Bureau of Investigation], the shooter was Lakeem Keon Scott, 37, and was armed with at least two weapons including an automatic-style rifle and a pistol and a large amount of ammunition at approximately 2:20 a.m. Thursday when he fired shots through the window of the Days Inn on Volunteer Parkway, striking the clerk.
Scott also appears to have, at some point, fired randomly at several vehicles driving on Volunteer Parkway before being confronted by officers from the Bristol Tennessee Police Department. During that exchange, the investigation shows Scott fired at the three responding officers, after which the officers returned fire, striking Scott, who was then taken to Bristol Regional Medical Center, he remains in serious, but stable, condition.
Jennifer Rooney was killed after being shot in her vehicle on Volunteer Parkway.
Other victims include Deborah Watts, the clerk at Days Inn, who is in serious, but stable condition at Bristol Regional Medical Center.
David Whitman Davis had minor injuries at the scene after being injured by flying glass from the gunfire.
Officer Matthew Cousins was wounded in the leg but has been treated and released from Bristol Regional Medical Center.

An officer was ambushed Friday morning in Georgia:

The GBI says that the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Stephen Paul Beck, called 911 on Friday morning to report a vehicle break-in and then ambushed and fired at the responding officer upon arrival.
A press release from GBI reads:
On Friday, July 08, 2016, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Valdosta Police Department to investigate an officer involved shooting incident that occurred at Three Oaks Apartments in Valdosta.
Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 7:54 AM, Valdosta Police Officer Randall Hancock was dispatched to the apartment complex regarding a vehicle break-in and damage to property call. The caller, identified as Stephen Paul Beck, age 22, reported that his car had been broken into and needed police to respond. At approximately 8:12 AM, Officer Hancock arrived at the apartment complex. Upon exiting his patrol car, Officer Hancock was fired upon, striking him at least twice in his protective vest and once beneath the vest in the abdomen area. Officer Hancock returned fire, striking the individual and stopping him from firing at him. The individual was unknown to Officer Hancock at the time of the encounter and it was later determined the individual was Beck, the 911 caller.
Officer Hancock was taken to an area hospital where he was treated and is in stable condition. Beck was also transported to an area hospital where he remains in serious condition.

Another officer was ambushed Friday in a St. Louis suburb:

A Ballwin Police officer was in critical condition after he was shot in the neck during a traffic stop late Friday morning, police said.
The male officer had stopped the car for speeding on northbound New Ballwin Road about 11 a.m., police said. As the officer went back to his car, the driver got out, “advanced quickly” and fired three shots at the officer, police said.
Said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar: “Make no mistake, we believe that Ballwin officer was ambushed.”
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch agreed.
“It was clearly an ambush, an attack,” he said. “There was no confrontation, no argument, no nothing.”
He also said it appeared that one of the shots might have been fired after the officer fell.
The gunman fled north on New Ballwin Road and was captured in Manchester several miles northeast of the shooting scene, after jumping out of the car and running, police said.
A semi-automatic handgun was recovered, according to St. Louis County Police, who are handling the investigation.
The suspect, identified as Antonio Taylor, 31, of the 1200 block of Tower Grove Avenue in St. Louis, was charged with first-degree assault of a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a weapon. Bail was set at $500,000.
Court documents said Taylor used a .22-caliber gun to shoot the officer. Authorities say he has a lengthy criminal history.

Meanwhile in Dallas, evidence suggests that the terrorist gunman Micah Johnson had been planning anti-police violence for some time:

The brazen attack in downtown Dallas that killed five police officers and injured nine other people was the act of a lone gunman, an Afghanistan veteran drawn to Black Power symbology and a determination to kill white people, authorities concluded Friday.
“This was a mobile shooter that has written manifestos on how to shoot and move. He did that. He did his damage. But we did our damage to him, as well,” Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said after police carefully questioned and ruled out other potential suspects in the Thursday night rampage.
Investigators discovered bomb-making materials, rifles and a “personal journal of combat tactics” in the home of the black former Army reservist who struck during a demonstration against the shooting of two black men by white police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana.
Authorities identified the gunman as Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, a Dallas-area resident, a “loner” with no criminal history who “wanted to kill white people” and “especially white officers,” police said. . . .
Police detonated a bomb robot to kill Johnson after they cornered him in a garage early Friday morning — an unprecedented technique for American law enforcement, but one that troops have used in Iraq to attack targets with mines.
Before his death, Johnson “bantered” with police negotiators, a federal official said, adding that the suspect appeared to have been preparing for the assault, and did not appear nervous. At one point, the gunman had told officials, “The end is coming, and he’s going to hurt and kill more of us,” Dallas Police Chief David Brown said.
“This was a well-planned, well-thought-out, evil tragedy,” the police chief said.

Creating hatred against white people and against police has been the major accomplishing of Black Lives Matter since its inception in 2014, when the liberal media and activists promoted a false narrative surrounding the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, as Heather Mac Donald explains in her recent book The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe:

After Brown’s death, rioters torched and looted Ferguson businesses. . . .
In the months that followed, the lie that Brown had died in a racially motivated police execution was amplified by the media, college presidents, and the left-wing political class. The newly formed Black Lives Matter movement promoted the notion that black Americans were being hunted down and killed with impunity by renegade white police officers. . . .
Slandered in the media and targeted on the streets, officers reverted to a model of purely reactive policing . . . The inevitable result? Violent crime surged in city after city, as criminals began reasserting themselves — a phenomenon that I and others controversially described as the “Ferguson effect.”

The lies told about the death of Michael Brown were the evil spark that lit the fuse of an explosion of hatred and violence. Innocent people are suffering because cop-haters, race hustlers, cynical Democrat politicians and their henchmen in the liberal media will not tell the truth about crime in America.

It is very easy, in a nation of 320 million people, to find examples of bad things happening — whether it’s rape on college campuses or teachers having sex with students. Yet for many months now, I’ve watched CNN go into 24/7 wall-to-wall coverage mode about shooting incidents that make police seem racist — even though such incidents are actually quite rare. Jim Geraghty of National Review pointed out the actual numbers Thursday morning:

The Washington Post compiled a database of all police shootings in the country and found 990 people were shot dead by police in 2015. Of those, only 93 were unarmed; 38 were black and unarmed. Of the 505 people shot dead by police in 2016 so far, 37 were unarmed; 13 were black and unarmed.

While 990 people being killed by police in one year is a rather frightening number, however, (a) more than 90% of suspects shot were armed, and (b) this is a nation of 320 million people, so that getting shot by police is actually a tiny statistical fraction  — a very rare event. Meanwhile, in Chicago, criminals have shot more than 2,000 people this year, including more than 300 fatal shootings. More that 75% of the victims were black. Only 9 people have been shot by cops in Chicago this year, so the criminals are killing a lot more black people in Chicago than the police are, and this is true everywhere. However, the hate group Black Lives Matter isn’t interested in facts, they’re interested in creating more hatred.

Professor Donald Douglas at American Power writes:

Frankly, years ago I compared the contemporary American radical left to the Baader-Meinhof Group from the 1970s. Bob Schieffer was on CBS This Morning today, and he asked the $64,000 question: Was the Dallas suspect part of a larger organized movement? He may not have been, but I suspect that we’re likely to see an escalation of deliberate, organized violence to match the vicious calculation and brutality seen in Dallas last night.

The Baader-Meinhof Gang aka “Red Army Faction” was a Marxist group in Germany that more or less invented modern terrorism. That this kind of comparison is being made to the American Left tells you just how far downhill our nation has gone in recent years. It’s bad and getting worse. In Dallas, the cop-hating terrorist Micah Johnson killed Officer Patrick Zamarripam, who had survived three tours of Iraq.

Forever Young

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 13 Comments

 

Did I ever mention my wife is beautiful? That photo of us back in the day, when Mrs. McCain was so skinny (and I had so much hair) is one of those images that I occasionally enjoy sharing, just to remind everybody that (a) I wasn’t always an old guy, and (b) my wife is sexy.

Aging gracefully is a challenge because, in our own minds, we are forever young, carrying with us the memory of who we previously were — that young long-haired rock-and-roll dude? That’s me! It is difficult, when we are old, to convince young people that we know what it is to be young.

 

People ask us, “What’s your secret of staying so sexy?” And we explain that it helps to start with an unusually high level of sexiness, so that even when you decline (slightly) you’re still way above average.

Another secret is to have babies. Lots and lots of babies. Making babies is fun, and having lots of children helps keep you young. However, young couples should be aware that, once you get three or four kids, people will notice and make comments about the size of your family. People used to notice the size of our family and say, “You know what causes that, right?” To which I’d answer, “Yes, and we’re very good at it.”

 

Another favorite response to remarks about our larger-than-average family is to tell them about our Victory Through Breeding™ Program, the plan to establish McCain global domination by the 24th century. Suppose that our six children have four children each. That would mean 24 grandchildren by about 2045 and, if this average of four children each could be maintained in subsequent generations, there would be 96 great-grandchildren by 2090, and then 384 great-great-grandchildren by 2135. By 2225, there would be more than 6,000 direct descendants, to say nothing at all of the wives, husbands, aunts, uncles, and cousins via marriage. It’s simple arithmetic, really, and our worldwide hegemony is not only possible, but may even be inevitable. However, this isn’t a subject people expect to hear about in casual conversation, and you should see the reactions when I tell people with great enthusiasm that our family is planning to take over the world.

Pinky: “Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”
Brain: “The same thing we do every night, Pinky — try to take over the world!”

Why bother with small ambitions? Dreaming big is fun, and if you’re going to do something, you might as well have fun doing it. Making babies is fun, and watching them grow up is also fun. The June wedding of our son was one of those occasions when our family was united to welcome a new addition, and I promised readers more photos of the occasion.

The ceremony — notice best man Jim with his son James, the ringbearer.

 

The smiling bride gets a kiss from the groom.

 

Entering the reception, Jim, as best man, escorts the maid of honor.

 

Mrs. McCain gets a selfie with her newly married son.

 

Eldest daughter Kennedy and youngest son Emerson.

 

Fashionista daughter Reagan and her stylish hat.

 

Three Mrs. McCains — my wife with her two daughters-in-law.

 

As you can see, McCain Generation 2.0 is a fine-looking bunch. Go ahead and laugh at our plans for global domination. So far, so good.

DALLAS SHOOTER MICAH JOHNSON: Did #BlackLivesMatter Inspire Terrorist?

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 60 Comments

 

Hatred of police and white people inspired mass murderer Micah Johnson’s terrorist attack in Dallas that killed five police officers and wounded seven others. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a press conference Friday morning that, during a standoff with police, Johnson specifically mentioned the anti-police group “Black Lives Matter”:

A gunman “upset about Black Lives Matter” and “recent police shootings” who opened fire Thursday night in Dallas, killing five police officers and wounding seven others, has been identified as Micah X. Johnson, the Los Angeles Times and CBS News report.
Two civilians were also wounded in the shootings. Johnson, 25, was killed when a police robot detonated a bomb near him following a standoff that lasted several hours, Police Chief David Brown said Friday at a press conference.
“The suspect said he was upset with white people and wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” Brown said.

Critics have accused the Black Lives Matter movement of being a hate group that exploits and incites racial animosity. Fanatical supporters of Black Lives Matter flooded Twitter with anti-police messages after Thursday’s shooting, calling for even more violence against police.

“This is the war that Black Lives Matter asked for,” David Horowitz said Thursday night after the deadly attack in Dallas, later asking: “Do you think we have a domestic terrorist threat from the left?”

The anti-police ideology of “Black Lives Matter has historical roots in the radical Left, investigative journalist Matthew Vadum reports:

The ambush-style mass shooting of cops in Dallas, Texas, last night makes it clear that it is time for the dangerous, anti-American insurgency called Black Lives Matter to be designated a terrorist organization for fomenting a war against the nation’s law enforcement officers.
The officers were killed during a demonstration in downtown Dallas against police brutality that leftists say is directed at black Americans as a matter of government policy. . . .
Of course, murdering police officers has long been encouraged by activists with the Black Lives Matter cult, with the support of the activist Left. A year ago Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who openly advocates the mass murder of whites, called for “10,000 fearless men” to “rise up and kill those who kill us.” Like many radicals, Farrakhan mischaracterizes Black Lives Matter as a rising civil rights movement.
President Barack Obama, who a decade ago promoted inter-racial warfare in Kenya, has long tried to provoke civil unrest here in the U.S. with his hateful anti-cop rhetoric and his relentless demonization of opponents. His goal is fundamental transformation of the United States. A Red diaper baby who identifies violence-espousing communist Frantz Fanon as an intellectual influence, he has also steadfastly refused to condemn the explicitly racist, violent Black Lives Matter movement. In fact Obama has lavished attention on the movement’s leaders and invited them to the White House over and over again.
Members of the Democratic National Committee expressly endorsed Black Lives Matter, throwing their lot in with black racists and radical Black Power militants. The DNC officially embraced a statement that slams the U.S. for allegedly systemic police violence against black people. A resolution passed by hundreds of delegates at the DNC meeting in Minneapolis last year accuses the nation’s police of “extrajudicial killings of unarmed African American men, women and children.”
The Left persists in these lies because, well, that’s what these people do.
According to one analysis, of all the people shot and killed in the U.S. by police so far in 2016, only 24 percent, or 122, were black. Black people are only about 13 percent of the population but they commit around half of all violent crimes. So far this year 47 percent of people shot and killed by police, or 235 individuals, were white.
Only 3 percent, or 13 people shot and killed by police year to date were black and unarmed. The percentage for whites is exactly the same. In other words, police are shooting and killing unarmed blacks and whites at the same rate, Paul Joseph Watson observes.
“There’s no racial disparity,” he says. “Do we have a problem with police brutality in America? Yes, undoubtedly. Is it almost exclusively targeted towards black people as Black Lives Matter claims? No, but the polarizing way in which Black Lives Matter made it all about race has divided the nation and made half of the country completely disinterested.” . . .

DALLAS SHOOTING: Five Reported Dead in ‘Military-Style’ Sniper Attack

Posted on | July 8, 2016 | 16 Comments

The latest this morning:

Eleven police officers were shot ambush-style, including five fatally, in Dallas Thursday night by at least two snipers, amid a protest against the recent police shootings of two black men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Minnesota, according to the Dallas Police.
One of the suspects had engaged in a standoff for several hours with police, but a Dallas city official announced around 3:30 a.m. that it was over. That suspect is now dead, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said.
“Our explosives took him down,” he told “Good Morning America” today.
“He was cornered in a garage and wouldn’t give up and we sent in explosives for that.”
The conditions of the six wounded officers weren’t immediately released. One civilian was also injured.
Officials said there are three suspects in custody and police are still investigating a motive for the attack.
“I can tell you they’re being pretty tight-lipped at this point,” Rawlings said of the three suspects.

There has been wild speculation about this incident — radio talk-show hosts blaming “white supremacists” — and people were shocked by video of a confrontation in which one of the snipers, wielding a rifle and apparently wearing body armor, fatally shot a police officer.

UPDATE: Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown, in a press conference this morning, said that one suspect was cornered and killed after a long negotiation. During the negotiation, Brown said, the suspect invoked “Black Lives Matters,” told police he “hated white people” and wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers.

UPDATE II: Hateful tweets from haters:

Twitter doesn’t suspend people for messages about hating cops and white people. You’ve got to offend a feminist to get suspended from Twitter.

UPDATE III: Our irresponsible President made an irresponsible Facebook statement yesterday, blaming “racial disparities” for the “lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.” Well, who should we blame for these “disparities”? Elected officials, perhaps? Democrats, perhaps?
