Tucker: This Is Why Your Cities Have Become More Dangerous

 In sharing this with you all, I wanted to remind you that an anniversary is coming up. George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis Police five years ago. It touched off a very chaotic period in American cities and eventually moved around the world.

The civil unrest that took place around the country in the wake of Floyd's death happened during the pandemic as the world began to sort of open up after a time of mitigation efforts. My belief is that this wouldn't have been as problematic if people weren't largely isolated in their homes in an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

Harmeet Dhillion is currently the head of the Civil Rights Division in the Trump administration. And she discusses why American cities had become very unsafe and she often cites these federal consent decrees. You can watch below and once you see her speak with Tucker Carlson I will have more thoughts. [VIDEO]

Dhillon notes the Ferguson effect, which is probably reference to what happened there with Michael Brown. The issue she discusses is how in some of these cities police officers are forced to write reports which keeps them from policing. And she notes how many officers instead choose to leave the police force for good or they may opt to go somewhere that allows them to actually police. She even note that the edicts often come down from the federal gov't and those who oversee these decrees may have very little experience with policing. 

In most recent news, we've learned that the Minneapolis and Louisville police departments have had consent decrees lifted from the federal gov't. As you may know in Louisville, KY there was a young lady named Breonna Taylor who sadly was shot to death in a police raid.

While protests regarding her were not as widespread as Floyd, there were a lot of people I saw as passionate about her case as well.

May 2020 - 'peaceful protests' in Downtown Chicago

[VIDEO] I'm sharing this video from my other YouTube channel Ninth Ward Chicago to show how this were this month in 2020. That was such a strange year we had a pandemic and then civil unrest in many American cities after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Most American cities are still recovering from this activity.

I didn't record much unrest other than some vandalism. I recorded a march right on State Street. And then me waiting on a train to go back home, however, due to the "unrest" aka rioting in downtown Chicago CTA service had been disrupted.

I finally uploaded this video during the 2023 Chicago mayoral race hoping that Chicago would turn the page from the Lori Lightfoot era. Which explains the comments you saw scrolled at the end about how the next mayor should take control of the city.

With this said, Lightfoot left office in 2023 and the jury is out on her successor current Mayor Brandon Johnson. He's a much better communicator and perhaps not as abrasive as Lightfoot, however, he doesn't display the leadership that's necessary to be mayor.

For 2020, IMHO if Rahm Emanuel had run and won a third term as mayor the city would be in a different state at that time than it was at the time. Would Chicago be as out of control as it seemed to have been in 2020? Would the pandemic be any different under him?

Now I hear Chicago could fall behind Houston as America's third largest city.

I might also add that year there was a presidential race which ultimately was won by Joe Biden and 2021 started off with that same energy as was seen the last week of May 2020. And while the pandemic was rough, it has been a rough period under "Let's go Brandon". Will 2024 see different results?

All we can do is stay tuned.

Timcast IRL: Will America reach the 2024 presidential election?

 

[VIDEO] Scary stuff....

2020 was a strange year with the pandemic and the seeming breakdown in law enforcement and societal norms. We see the strange push for social justice especially in light of George Floyd. It seems this idea of being woke has been put forward like never before.

In this rcnt  Timcast IRL they talk about Col. Douglas MacGregor's dire comments about the 2024 how he sees the general breakdown in America will cause the nation to not even make it to the 2024 election. And Tim Pool and company might take it further someone might ensure there will be further issues with the election. Perhaps someone will cheat again to ensure there person will will sort of how many alleged that happened in 2020 between Trump and Biden.

I'll let you watch Col MacGregor's comments here as he made them about four months ago on PBD's podcast. Allow me to remain optimistic that the chaos of 2020 is something we can get out of but then again America is so severely divided it doesn't seem like we're going to come together anytime soon.

State of Emergency in Georgia

[VIDEO] I'm sharing this video from Tim Pool to further discuss the recent news out of Georgia that there is a state of emergency over the potential for riots in Atlanta, Georgia. There were riots recently in Atlanta as part of an anti-police protests.

This time around there is concern for violence with regards to a case of alleged police brutality in Memphis, Tennessee. So there might be concerns of riots there as well as five police officers have been charged with murder.

Now I have no issue with looking for answers in a case such as this. What I might emphasize in this is what Tim Pool talks about. What if most of the people engaging in the rioting are in fact white and what I like to call "outside agitators". This isn't about justice, it's about causing as much mayhem as possible.

Even with the unrest of 2020 after George Floyd there were some Blacks - and what we might hear in the media is Black leaders making noise about police brutality whether substantiated or not - who didn't want to see their communities burned to the ground. They were the ones telling the outside agitators not to destroy property within Black communities.

So I do hope that the concern of people like Gov. Brian Kemp doesn't come to fruition and no unrest comes at least to the city that is too busy to hate.
