I have decided who I want for president of the United States.

I want someone, who, by their demeanor and ideology, ensure that no one laughs at me or says “I’m sorry” when I tell them that I am an American.

Nuff said

Again we are faced with the possibility that a police officer was over zealous in his actions toward a group of teens.  Immediately the video was flashed across the internet and the talking heads started doing what they do best.  Call for his firing, put him in jail, racist reaction towards blacks.  You know the drill.  Rev Al had enough lather worked up on him to shampoo a buffalo.  Poor little bikini clad sista was thrown violently to the ground and held down with a policeman’s knee.  Horrors.  Days of slavery have returned.  Will storm troopers be next.  Will Simon Legree be resurrected ?  But wait, there seems to be other videos that are emerging.  These show the bikini clad damsel beating the hell out of another young lady just minutes before the police arrived.  Maybe there is another side to the story.

Why yes, there is another side.  The young lady in question was told to get down on the ground.  When a policeman tells someone to hit the deck it can be for many reasons.  One reason might be to keep you out of the line of fire.  It is used to differentiate the good guys from the bad.  Those laying face down dont get shot as often as those jumping around hollering at the “Pigs” about racial profiling.  The young lady did not obey the police officer.  Because she has been indoctrinated to talk back to people in authority, refuse orders and other protest methods she was subjected to procedures that are designed to keep the situation as safe as possible for the victims and the police.  Her parents need to keep their mouths shut, take her home and ground her little butt for the rest of the summer and spend some time teaching her about what police are really about.  Protecting us as well as themselves.  I doubt that you could find very many police officers that get up in the morning thinking about what they can do that day to oppress blacks.  They get up each day hoping they can do their job and get to come home alive at the end of their shift.

I for one am getting damned tired of hearing about how bad minorities are treated.  Your actions for the most part determine how you are treated in this world.  Act nice, you get treated nicely.  Loot a liquor store in protest against the killing of an armed man charging police, you are gonna get treated accordingly.

Get a grip.
