Even more obvious than the effect an “inflation refund” will have on inflation is the effect Black Lives Matter — which was aggressively promoted by the liberal establishment — would have on the murder rate:

According to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, a police group that tracks crime levels, murders rose 44% from 2019 to 2021 across 70 of America’s largest cities.

Finally BLM mania passed:

But then something happened – big city murders fell dramatically from their peak from over 9,600 in 2021 to 6,900 in 2024 – a 39% decline.

It’s called the Ferguson Effect. When liberals hamstring law enforcement in the name of Critical Race Theory, murderers run riot.

That more policing would cut crime is not only commonsense, it is borne out by numerous academic studies showing proactive policing reduces violent crime.

But it has disparate impact, so liberals don’t like it. Never mind that letting crime flourish also has a disparate impact regarding those victimized.

Post-George Floyd de-policing – when demoralized, debilitated, and depleted police forces step back from aggressive anti-crime activities fearing political, professional, or personal consequences for doing their jobs – exacerbated the growing violent and serious crime problem.

Derek Chauvin could tell you all about these consequences.

Emboldened criminals stepped into the vacuum and mayhem ensued.

The violence was a fit tribute to the patron saint of modern liberalism, career criminal George Floyd.

By 2021, the CDC recorded over 26,000 homicides nationwide – 7,000 “excess” killings compared to 2019 levels…

Liberals who signaled their warped notion of virtue by donating money in reaction to the BLM riots have blood on their hands.

Looks like it really is springtime for Luigi Mangione. He may not have to rely on jury nullification to walk free. DEI could do the job:

According to his lawyers, Mangione’s backpack was illegally searched right after police found him at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Now they’re demanding that everything inside be tossed from the case.

And if a judge agrees, the entire case could fall apart, and one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent memory could blow up over a mistake made by a female officer.

But sadly, this isn’t just about one bad call. It’s about a dangerous pattern driven by DEI hiring, where meeting diversity quotas is more important than choosing the best people for one of the hardest, most stressful jobs on the planet.

Where people are hired based on DEI rather than merit, competence will inevitably suffer.

Whereas DEI imposes mediocrity on the police, Mangione can afford top-notch lawyers. As with lavishly funded Black Lives Matter, liberals are opening their wallets to showcase their conception of virtue. At last word, Mangione’s defense fund was approaching $1 million. That kind of money should buy a lawyer who can place at least one Taylor Lorenz onto the jury — assuming the case even gets to trial.

Applied Critical Race Theory is producing the predictable effect in Ohio:

Police say Rodney Hinton, Jr. struck [a Hamilton County Sheriff’s ] deputy with his car on May 1 as the deputy was directing traffic for the University of Cincinnati commencement.

It killed him. The apparent motive:

A Cincinnati police officer shot and killed Hinton’s son, 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, the day before while investigating a stolen SUV. Ryan Hinton was running with a gun in his hand, according to police.

According to the officer involved, Hinton Jr. pointed the gun at him. According to the ideology relentlessly rammed down our throats by the media, if a black criminal is killed by the police, it is not law enforcement but racist murder that calls for revenge.

Rodney Hinton has been drinking the Black Lives Matter Kool-Aid. He previously…

…shared posts about police brutality on social media, including a podcast criticizing the execution of Nate Woods, a Black man who was sentenced to death in Alabama despite never touching the murder weapon. He also shared a post calling for the arrest of an officer who shot Atatania Jefferson, a 28-year-old Black woman in Texas, while responding to a call for a wellness check.

As with O.J. Simpson and potentially Karmelo Anthony, with the right jury, Rodney Hinton will get off scot-free.

Brace yourselves, taxpayers. The Hinton family may file a lawsuit over the shooting. George Floyd earned his family a staggering $27 million of other people’s money by dying of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest. Getting a cop to shoot you should be worth even more.

Under the control of moonbats like Two-Tier Keir Starmer, the British government is hostile to the British people. Police enforce the government’s will, so this should come as no surprise:

West Yorkshire Police (WYP) is currently preventing white British candidates from applying for jobs as recruits to its police constable entry programmes.

WYP is the fourth largest police force in the UK.

“Under-represented” groups, on the other hand, can lodge their applications early.

“Under-represented” translates to “people the ruling class prefers to the native population.”

WYP claims the policy is to ensure that “diverse communities” are represented by the officers serving them.

For once they are telling the truth. In case Britain’s survival instinct kicks in and the crap starts to hit the fan, authorities want to be sure the loyalty of police is to the “diverse communities” they have imported rather than to the British people.

[W]histleblowers said … ethnic minority candidates were being coached through the application process, including interviews.

Minority candidates who express interest in a job via email are assigned police officers from the force’s Positive Action Team (PAT) who mentor them through recruitment.

According to a document the Telegraph got hold of,

PAT officers also conduct the interviews … in a 16-month period, not a single ethnic minority applicant failed the recruitment process.

What qualification could they need other than non-British and preferably non-European status?

According to officers who had worked in the recruitment department,

[E]ntry-level vacancies for new constables and detectives were marked internally with an “H”, meaning “Hidden”, on the force’s computer system.

That meant the jobs were at that stage only open to ethnic minority candidates. They would become open to white British candidates at a much later stage in the process.

Sometimes recruiters get desperate when they can’t fill vacancies.

[A] whistleblower told The Telegraph he was told to begin processing ethnic minority candidates before the window for white British applicants had even been opened.

To quote a great Briton, “The smallest worm will turn being trodden on.” If a worm can turn, so can the British people.

For generations, New York City’s Grand Central Station has been an iconic symbol of American civilization — which makes this appalling spectacle emblematic of the war from within being waged against it:

Our own media doesn’t seem to find this noteworthy, so let’s turn to the Jerusalem Post:

Anti-Israel protests shut down New York City’s Grand Central Station on Monday, according to demonstration organizer Within Our Lifetime [WOL].

Jews were warned to avoid this crucial transit hub due to masked and armed Islamic terror supporters.

Activists wearing keffiyehs entered the American landmark waving Palestinian flags and banging drums in response to a global strike called for by Palestinians over the ongoing war in Gaza, WOL leader Nerdeen Kiswani explained in a social media post.

Americans were locked out or trapped inside during rush hour:

With tedious predictability, the sinister pro-Hamas thugs claimed to be the victims, crybullying with improbable claims that projectiles were thrown at them from windows, the police were mean, et cetera.

As for the police actually maintaining law and order — as a New Yorker might say, forget about it:

New York lawmakers are considering a bill that would bar law enforcement officers from conducting traffic stops for minor violations.

Part of the effort behind the proposal is to further “racial equity and public safety,” Fox News reported on Monday.

As the situation unravels, there will be no public safety where liberals are in charge.

One reason violent leftists are so out of line is that they are confident there will be no consequences. At least in college towns in California, they are usually right:

Masked Antifa vandals violently attacked TPUSA staff at a tabling event at UC Davis on Thursday.

The far-left protestors completely destroyed TPUSA’s “Prove Me Wrong” tabling event with former police officer Brandon Tatum. They stole the tent, ripped down the TPUSA banners and tried to steal the TPUSA staffer’s iPad and electronics.

Rather than prove anyone wrong, the Antifa goons proved countermoonbats right by making a spectacle of the Left’s lack of any argument but force.

As always under liberal rule, the authorities have their thumb on the scale. Watch police watch passively as militant moonbats steal TPUSA’s canopy:

Ironically, ACAB = All Cops Are Bastards, a favorite slogan among Antifa hooligans. They don’t seem to appreciate benevolent neglect:

Just last week a transsexual freakazoid who would fit in with Antifa attacked TPUSA Chapter President Paige Neumann with a bike lock.

Antifa continues to serve as the informal Sturmabteilung of the Democratic Party as it strives to create an atmosphere of fear whereby no one but liberals dares express opinions in public.

High on their own supply, moonbats once liked the idea of forcing police to wear bodycams, so that the media could run with video evidence of racist oppression. But as usual, reality failed to conform to liberal ideology, forcing a change of position. Check out this 2017 headline from Newsweek:

Anyone tempted to ask, “What about the civil rights of white people?” is a racist who needs to report to the mainstream media for reeducation.

Among the many privileges bestowed upon the “marginalized” is that male sexually deranged persons who work in the UK as police officers are still allowed to strip search women:

Proposed guidance for the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) says that biologically male staff who identify as women should be allowed to intimately search women as long as they possess a gender recognition certificate (GRC).

If a piece of paper issued by the leftist kooks overseeing the decline of Britain say a guy is a woman, then he is a woman, and therefore fit to strip search women.

Female detainees have rights, but these are superseded by the privileges afforded to transsexuals, who have been granted a position of greater “oppression” in the cultural Marxist caste system. Therefore, women had better not complain or their legal difficulties will deepen. According to the guidance,

“Consideration should also be given to the manner in which the detainee objects to the search and any prejudicial language should be dealt with positively.”

In a country ruled by moonbats like free speech opponent Keir Starmer, that sounds ominous.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.

Not all violent moonbats of the transsexual persuasion content themselves with attacking Tesla dealerships. Seth Gregori (a.k.a. Andrea Gregori) planned to go after police:

A transgender Texas man has been arrested on terrorism charges for allegedly planning to carry out a mass casualty attack against police officers, according to the FBI. … FBI Houston said Gregori planned to carry out a massacre “similar to the 2016 Dallas ambush,” where a sniper opened fire on Dallas police, killing five officers and injuring others.

The motivation as with Dallas ambusher Micah Xavier Johnson appears to be a manifestation of the CRT religion pushed by Democrats, who were able to use it to great advantage to set off and maintain the politically advantageous George Floyd race riots.

According to an arrest affidavit, the FBI received a tip from an informant indicating that Gregori had an AR-15 platform pistol and intended to kill “white cops” with the Corpus Christi Police Department.

Killing whites is the only way to cure America’s alleged racism, if you follow liberal ideology to its natural conclusion.

He was booked into jail as a female named “Andrea,” records show.

For the senseless violence he intended to inflict in the name of a depraved and wicked ideology, Gregori has also been booked into the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.

Bwahahahaha! Sorry, let me compose myself. Anticop moonbat Darcie Bell… bwahahahaha! No, it’s too funny. I’ll let the New York Post start the story:

When thieves made off with Darcie Bell’s rented U-Haul truck, the San Francisco woman put out a call for help on X: “If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.”

Sad — if it had happened to anyone else. But Bell has spent years spewing Defund the Police moonbattery.

Even now she denounces the cops:

Mere hours after she filed a police report, she blasted the police for not immediately locating her stolen possessions.

They may have been able to find more urgent priorities.

She has been taking her revenge by defiantly reposting demands that the police be defunded so that San Franfreakshow can continue its slide into anarchy. Nothing will cure some moonbats of moonbattery — not even confrontation with the inevitable consequences of their ideology.

At least thieves didn’t steal her precious Covid mask:

Where degenerates take charge of the government, you can expect sexual perversion to be imposed by force. According to guidance produced by the British Transport Police (BTP), male officers who have acquired a “Gender Recognition Certificate” certifying them to be sexually deranged can strip search women in custody:

Separately, the BTP has also reportedly determined that staff can wear the “uniform in whichever gender they choose” and are allowed to use the changing rooms and showers of the gender they identify with.

Sex criminals must feel quite at home in what moonbattery has made of the UK.

[R]etired police superintendent Cathy Larkman, who now serves as the national policing lead for the Women’s Rights Network, described the [strip searching] policy as “state-sanctioned sexual assault”.

That’s what women get for falling below transsexuals in the woke pecking order. If they tried harder to be more oppressed, they might make it to the top tier of the multistory outhouse that is Cultural Marxism.

Moonbat X accounts like Harris Wins and Kamala HQ as well as the MSM have delightedly hyped the endorsement of Kamala Harris by Police Leaders for Community Safety:

Two weeks after the National Fraternal Order of Police (NFOP) endorsed former President Donald Trump, a newly formed liberal police leadership organization has endorsed Kamala Harris, who supported the “Defund the Police” movement, for the 2024 presidential election.

How the hell could any police organization support Democrats, who have gone out of their way to demonize, demoralize, and hamstring local police, putting their lives in jeopardy and rendering their jobs futile by releasing the criminals they catch? Comrade Cackala has specifically raised funds to bail sociopathic anti-police rioters out of jail. She explicitly said that their rioting should not stop.

A little background helps explain:

“Police Leaders for Community Safety” is a very small national advocacy (501(c)4) nonprofit that … was only recently activated in June of 2024, and is headed by former UW-Madison Police Chief Sue Riseling, whose rabidly left-wing, anti-Trump proclivities are openly on display on social media.

For perspective,

While the NFOP boasts more than 377,000 members, the newly formed Police Leaders for Community Safety claims to made up of “50 prominent law enforcement leaders.”

Like many college towns, Madison, Wisconsin is a suppurating pustule of moonbattery. Let’s learn more about its former Police Chief Sue Riseling:

While Police Leaders for Community Safety claims to be nonpartisan, its chairwoman’s X account betrays an obvious preference for Democrats, support for the Biden-Harris regime and animus toward Republicans, especially former President Donald Trump. The chairwoman frequently reposts content from left-wing disinformation outlets “Occupy Democrats,” “Call to Activism,” “The Palmer Report,” and “Republicans against Trump,” as well as posts from Joe Biden’s X account.

Judging from her past social media activity, Riseling wants Clarence Thomas impeached and regards it as “absolutely frightening” that pornographic material might be removed from public schools. Not exactly mainstream opinions for police officers.

That a leftist kook like Riseling could be placed in the position of Chief of Police, then exploit her title to advance a poisonous left-wing agenda, constitutes further evidence that DEI is out of control.

Philadelphia is where the US Constitution was drafted. It may also be where America’s autopsy report is written up, after the nation has died of moonbattery. Here’s what it’s like to drive a police car through the Democrat-dominated former epicenter of American civilization:

Via Post Millennial:

Police were attacked and their vehicles damaged over the weekend as officers worked to disperse large crowds that had gathered at multiple illegal car meetups and street races at locations throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania late Saturday into early Sunday.

At one incident,

One driver in that incident attempted to evade police by driving toward officers, resulting in the driver colliding with a civilian vehicle.

At another, involving over 200 cars,

[O]fficers were attacked and a police vehicle damaged…

Just over half an hour later, at 4:33 am, police responded to the area of 15th and Market streets, which is directly in front of City Hall, where more than 100 cars were reported drifting and setting trash on fire. Officials said that officers were also attacked in this incident and multiple vehicles were also damaged.

Five police vehicles were damaged in 11 street racing incidents.

At one intersection, a ring of fire was seen being set to the pavement.

Savages are into that kind of thing.

According to Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Mike Kram…

…at least one person involved in the incidents overnight had a flamethrower.

Won’t the media be delighted when police are forced to defend their own lives by firing into a crowd? Maybe there is still time to get another wave of riots going before the election.

If you encounter someone who does not understand why patriotic Britons have rioted, show them this video, which perfectly encapsulates the relationship between Islamic colonists, native Britons, and the police under the regime of Two-Tier Keir:

British police are ineffectual at protecting people from Islamic mobs, but don’t you dare say anything that might be deemed Islamophobic on the Internet.
