Journalists, as a class, are fucking stupid.

I cannot begin to convey to you just how fucking stupid they are.

All they know how to do is parrot jargon and prefabricated talking points.

“Why didn’t the police do that thing that they do in movies where the good cop stops the bad guy without killing him and then says a snappy one-liner?”

Because you’re fucking stupid, that’s why.

The aggrieved Left, which has had a year-long two-minute hate against police, immediately went from the Chauvin victory celebration to attacking a police officer in Columbus, Ohio.

The officer in question shot a 16-year-old black girl who was attacking two others with a knife.

While the fact that the girl was armed is irrelevant to them, it does matter to normies.  Ergo, the Left needs to present this situation in a way that is palatable to the normies.

The way they have decided to do this is to make the argument that a knife fight really isn’t a big deal.  This isn’t something new, we’ve seen this before in the concealed carry/gun rights debate over self-defense.

Now it’s being applied to this shooting.

The thing is, it ends up sounding ridiculous.

Last time it was D-List celeb, Kathy Griffin.

WARNING. How in the hell does this police officer think it’s a good idea to fire shots blindly into a group of teenagers having a fight. Yes one of them has a knife. Oh, that never happened in your school or neighborhood? She didn’t deserve to die. 16 years old. #makhiabryant https://t.co/hnimSwnG7s

It was only a knife.  It was just a knife fight.

This can only be made to suburbanites who have ever seen a knife fight except on TV and think about getting cut as something you put a bandaid on.

They don’t think about getting stabbed in the guts and having to live a life with a colostomy bag if you don’t die.

I think, or at least I hope, that this argument gets them out over their skis a little too much.  I just don’t see “let teenagers stab each other, it’s no big deal” being a compelling argument in suburbia.

I don’t see major cities having police forces soon.  The ones that survive defunding will be depopulated by cops quitting and nobody applying for open positions.

It’s just not worth it anymore.

The White House addresses the killing of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant:

Psaki never brought up the fact that Bryant had a knife because it’s irrelevant.

The only thing that matters is the races of the individuals involved.

The only thing that ever matters is what fits the narrative.

It doesn’t matter how effective the vaccine is and how ineffective masks are, you will still have to wear a mask after vaccination.

It never mattered how badly the Soviet central planners misjudged production capacity and demand, the shortages and famines were always due to sabotage or disloyalty.

The Right can say Bryant had a knife until we are blue in the face and it won’t matter, any fact that undermines their consolidation of power and the narrative that they use to motivate their side in the consolidation of that power will be ignored.

Can you say “buyers’ remorse”?

You voted for him, enjoy his racist tactics, bitch.

And the rest of us:

I am a fan of logic. Some people apparently are not, specially when they latch onto a buzzword that apparently is supposed to work like a Harry Potter spell.

It dawned on me this people have no frigging idea what takes to de-escalate.  Heck, I been reading about true de-escalation for a decade or more and still have not found out the magic Thechnomage incantations (Babylon 5 alert!) that would assure me an attacker would stop his attack. It is something that can be very particular to a person, moment and location, even culture. And despite all our training, we know that the terrible fact we may end up failing to de-escalate and may have to resort to deadly force, is something we had to accept knowing damned well there will be consequences after but knowing that the consequences of doing nothing would have been worse.

But we have Twitter experts like the idiot above who can barely write the buzzword and that is enough to make them experts. And the echo chamber from she erupts is loud and 1,000 times stupider.

And for those who do not know about Technomages, here is a video. Good stuff begins at 1:49

Broward schools superintendent Robert Runcie arrested on perjury charge

Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested Wednesday morning on a charge of perjury in an official proceeding.

Runcie, 59, was taken into custody by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and is being held at the Broward County Main Jail.

Sources tell Local 10 News the arrest stems from a statewide grand jury investigation into problems with the school district’s construction bond program.

The grand jury is believed to be investigating accusations of corruption and payoffs within that program.

Yes, this feels a little like throwing Al Capone in prison for tax evasion but I don’t care.

If this ruins him it ruins him and few people deserve ruining more than him.

If your schadenböner last for more than hours think about Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton in a wet t-shirt contest.  That will fix it.
