Reverse the races....

Thomas Lifson  "An arrest has been made in a horrifying crime, but thanks to races of the victim (white) and the perp (black), the national media are burying the story.  As David Paulin summed it up to me:
Black guy murders white guy (in front of white guy's 12-year-old daughter) because white guy's dog sniffed the black guy's pants while white guy was taking his daughter to buy ice cream. Imagine how the media would play this if it had been a white guy who shot a back guy in front of his daughter under similar circumstances.
Rev Al Sharpton condemned the
shooting, er.. wait. No? Sorry,
 guess not.
Comparing this case to that of Trayvon Martin's death reveals a national media double standard when it comes to violence. It sickens me that, in the face of crime statistics revealing a vast disparity in the likelihood of a black being killed by a white, compared to a white being killed by a black, the media actively encourages a counterfactual public perception - that blacks are gunned down by whites more often.
More about this on Chris Matthews' MSNBC show. Well, maybe not.    Full article here.

Is a Race War Occurring?   "Dr. Thomas Sowell, the intellectual juggernaut, recently concluded that a Black and White race war is in effect.  He stated, "Initial skirmishes in that race war have already begun, and have in fact been going on for some years.  But public officials pretend that it is not happening, and the mainstream media seldom publish it at all, except in ways that conceal what is really taking place.' " 
....
"Undoubtedly, white resistance is surfacing.  I believe that this observation sparked Dr. Sowell's article.  However, this mounting white backlash isn't a violent endeavor; it's an awareness campaign and shedding of white guilt."

On Stop and Frisk

NY Daily News  " 'This man has foisted on the city of New York a totally phony claim, and he's maligned a great police department with his claim of racial profiling," he said, calling de Blasio's argument that stop and frisk systematically overtargets minorities "outrageous."
"De Blasio has said he would drop the city's appeal of Judge Shira Scheindlin's ruling on NYPD reforms if he becomes mayor -- but Giuliani suggested Friday that the case could continue even against the Democrat's wishes."

Pros and Cons of "Stop - and Frisk"  
It’s where the crimes are more prevalent and the most shootings occur that someone suspicious would be singled out, stopped, questioned and frisked. In what way does this all make sense? It means that yes, most of those stopped were black and Hispanic but that the reasons for “choosing” them has noting(sp) to do with race, and everything about where they live and hang out, and about more officers patrolling in these areas.
"How ironic.
"Just two days after NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down at Brown University over NYC’s Stop and Frisk policy, with many protesters citing a finding by a trial Judge of racial discrimination, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has stayed the ruling, and kicked the trial judge off the case. (Full Order embedded at bottom of post.)
"In a short but scathing ruling, the Court of Appeals ruled that Judge Shira A. Scheindlin “ran afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges”:"...

Geraldo Rivera: Blacks and Latinos being most ‘protected’ by ‘Stop-and-Frisk’  “New York is the safest big city on Earth,” he explained. “Chicago has three and half times the homicide rate of New York. And Chicago has a very similar demographic.”
 “And whose lives are being saved by Stop-and-Frisk? It is precisely the people — the black and Latino young person most susceptible to being killed by violence. These are the people being protected by Stop-and-Frisk.”

"He added: “Ray Kelly was right, Mayor Bloomberg was right. Twenty years of Republican administrations in New York has done a good thing.' ”
I wanted to find a cartoon that was perceptive enough to shed light on this subject, but have found only self-righteous works, designed to enhance the cartoonist's street cred with liberal society. Nobody's work shows the reaction of those living in gang-infested areas to the a they are getting from Stop and Frisk. TD

Comments to this post in FreedomWorks and my response:
 
    MR:Calling for the end of police brutality and adherence to Constitutional Rights is fascism to you?
You obviously have no idea what you are posting.
 
    TD: I feel you have no concept of what police brutality is. How about the brutality people on the NY subways experienced during the Dinkins administration? How about the brutality experienced by those families living in the projects run by the gangs and the armed thugs? Shame on you and your feckless liberalism that makes law-abiding people become victims of those you side with.

Where stands the credibility of this Democrat administration?

Remember this? Letterman Writer Boasts of Discrediting McCain, Obama 'Too Competent' to Joke About
It's not because he's black and it's not because we're afraid. It's just that he's, just so far, just a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that. [multiple panelists say “yeah.”]

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Credibility Gap   "But the distortions and broken promises have now become so frequent that many at home and abroad are finally tuning out the president. Almost nothing promised about the Affordable Care Act is proving true. Contrary to presidential assurances, Obamacare has not lowered premiums or deductibles. It will not reduce the deficit or improve business competitiveness. It really will alter existing health plans and in some cases lead to their cancellation. Signing up is certainly not as easy as buying something online on Amazon."
....
"Yet after nearly five years of scandals, untruths, and hard economic times, a now-ignored Barack Obama has finally learned that even an iconic president can tell one too many untruths."
Letter in the Chicago Tribune: Obama's health care lies are shameful  "The American people should be outraged that Mr. Obama openly lied to them not once but many, many times touting that they could keep their insurance. ... Like President Richard Nixon and President Bill Clinton, President Obama's actions have brought shame to the position and our country. President Obama probably will skate the impeachment process because, unlike President Nixon, he is smart enough not to have any recordings of his intentions."

Thomas Sowell: Obama and the Art of Phoniness   "Like other truly talented phonies, Barack Obama concentrates his skills on the effect of his words on other people — most of whom do not have the time to become knowledgeable about the things he is talking about. Whether what he says bears any relationship to the facts is politically irrelevant. A talented con man or a slick politician does not waste his time trying to convince knowledgeable skeptics. His job is to keep the true believers believing."
Mark Steyn: Obama’s Melting Wings  ..."Of his talks with Vladimir Putin, the president said, “With respect to Syria, we do have differing perspectives on the problem, but we share an interest in reducing the violence.” Putin aims to reduce the violence by getting his boy Assad to kill everyone he needs to. Obama aims to reduce the violence by giving a speech about the “intolerance that fuels extremism” — or is it the other way round? The world understands that Putin means it and Obama doesn’t — just as in Afghanistan everyone knows the Taliban means it and the fainthearted superpower doesn’t."
