Very interesting, isn’t it, that nowadays we see the same patent brand of thought applied across all of our institutions and organizations? The sheer denial of reality, displayed right before you, in favor of some half-baked theory that favors wishful thinking over truth.
Climate Change, based on suspect and/or cherry-picked data, anguished over by “believers”; one politician’s perfidies waved away, while another’s identical transgressions are severely prosecuted, because “that’s different”; history revised and rewritten, so that imagined evils may be healed (yes, I am referring the the President’s Cairo speech); decrying that certain words might never be used, because they “sound like…” The list is endless, and growing fast.
My own personal belief, gleaned over a lifetime, is that one crucial symptom of dysfunction is when a person or institution cease to utilize common sense, in favor of the next pet cause’s skewed beliefs or badly manipulated “facts.”
If those who believe this restriction on the affairs of the LAPD is so necessary and proper, then I challenge any one of them, particularly if they are white, to go walk the streets of any inner-city urban area at night, and see where it gets them. If they survive the experience.
Not that they would take me up on the suggestion. Can’t have unpleasant realities intrude and disrupt their idyllic internal fantasies about the world and the people in it, now can they?
Keep up the fine work, Officer “Dunphy.” I hope this restriction is removed, so that you guys can get back to doing your job – keeping us all safe.
