Let’s review: – a police officer was accused of murder – given due process and put on trial – said police officer was found guilty by a jury. An accurate headline would be “Murderer Caught on Video Murdering is Convicted of Murder”.
But according to many on the left, that is NOT the system working? So, where do we go from here?
There is no win. All these politicians seem to want us fighting because it takes the focus off of what they are up to. It seems all they want to do is to incite violence and diversity, such that there is so much chaos that they will force more pressure on a free society to give up more freedoms.
They don’t want to see the system working because all of the race and class hustle will lose value.
I can’t imagine anyone wanting to work in law enforcement at this point. Worse, if you are a policeman, and you get a call, do you even answer it? Do you engage with the perp, or just let them do what they do? Have we reached a point where neighborhoods have to police their own?
Community Organizer and Activist Bree Newsome says, “Everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities.”
Do we give her what she wants and pull the police out of every major city? Then just sit back and watch the bloodshed?
Paul Plante says
Do we give Community Organizer and Activist Bree Newsome what she wants and pull the police out of every major city?
Then just sit back and watch the bloodshed?
First of all, in the full light of operative reality, we have to sit back and analyze her comment that “Everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities,” and when we do, we clearly see that we are dealing with a real flaming A-HOLE here who may well be one of those in America who are afflicted with a very serious mental illness.
Certainly, by civilized standards, she is not rational, but she rejects those civilized standards because she is part of a primitive tribal culture instead, whose values are incomprehensible to those of us who are not primitives, ourselves.
And with respect to pulling the police out of every major city and then sitting back to watch the bloodshed, up here to the north of you in the Democrat-controlled “sanctuary city for criminals” of Albany, New York, “KING” Cuomo’s capital city run by Biden Elector Kathy Sheehan, people are doing exactly that, except it would be more correct to say the police are being pushed out, or forced out, which takes us to an Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “‘Community response’ masses at Albany police’s South Station -New demonstration comes after night of unrest, arrests after encampment was forcibly cleared” by Steve Hughes and Eduardo Medina on April 23, 2021, where we have another Seattle, Washington brewing, to wit:
ALBANY — Protesters gathered again Friday evening outside Albany police’s South Station following Thursday night’s clash between social justice activists and law enforcement officers over the forcible removal of an encampment outside the station earlier Thursday.
A call went out on social media for activists to gather at the site at 7 p.m. Friday.
end quotes
Ah, yes, good old social media, which gives these tribal leaders a far more efficient means of gathering their mobs and tribes that the old method of smoke signals or beating on hollow logs.
Getting back to the story:
As darkness fell about 75 activists had gathered for the event, advertised as a “Community response to APD Siege on South Station Encampment.”
end quotes
Actually, it was the police and the police station who were under siege by the “TRIBE,” which today calls itself “THE COMMUNITY.”
Getting back to the story:
The scene was a stark contrast to Thursday night, when several protesters were arrested and one officer suffered a minor hand injury after a late-night clash outside South Station, hours after dozens of police officers forcibly removed about a dozen protesters who had refused to leave the area around the station because their demands to meet with officials had not been met.
end quotes
Yes, people – DEMANDS!
It is not about laws, it is not about order; to the contrary it is about what the TRIBE demands!
And when the TRIBE demands something, by God, civilization had better take the knee and bow own and give the TRIBE what it demands, or mindless mob violence will follow, because being tribal, as opposed to civilized, that is how the TRIBE gets its demands met – through violence to civilized society of which hey are not a part because they have chosen to exclude themselves from living as members of civilized society, preferring instead a primitive tribal society, which takes us back to that story as follows:
Around 11 p.m. Thursday, protesters set wood pallets ablaze on Trinity Street near Arch Street.
Police twice extinguished the fires.
The second time, protesters began throwing objects at the officers; while clearing the fire, one officer was cut on his hand after a protester hit him with a makeshift shield, a department spokesman said.
end quotes
As we will shortly see, in Albany, New York, this is considered alright for these TRIBAL MEMBERS to attack the police, while it is definitely wrong for the police to take any actions to defend themselves and the civilized society they are sworn to protect, which takes us back to the story, to wit:
The continued clashes between police and demonstrators drew mixed reactions from city officials on Friday.
City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs and one group of Common Council members released a statement calling the police department’s decision to remove the protesters, “disheartening and overly aggressive.”
The police should have tried to de-escalate tensions and rely on community voices to help address the protesters concerns, the lawmakers said.
“This event has served to fuel tension and further damaged the relationship between our police department and segments of our community,” they said.
The statement was also signed by councilmembers Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane and Alfredo Balarin.
Council President Corey Ellis and six other councilmembers released a separate statement hours later.
They called the police department’s actions “not acceptable” but added that residents in the area had complained about the encampment.
“The tactics were not okay, but the need to respect the people who live by South Station was,” they said, while calling for both sides to de-escalate.
The letter was signed by councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey.
County Legislator Sam Fein, who represents the area, said he also believed police had used too much force in clearing the camp.
He said the protesters wanted to see a more equitable criminal justice system.
“They want police to treat everyone equally,” he said.
end quotes
They want the police to coddle criminals is what they want, and in Albany, New York, that is exactly where things are headed, which again take us back to the story for more background, to wit:
The late-night clash came hours after a phalanx of police officers cleared an anti-police brutality encampment from outside of South Station, leading to a prolonged and tense face-off between police in riot gear and protesters at the intersection of Arch and Grand streets.
Police later pulled back after city Department of General Services employees cleared the camp.
They extended a perimeter of fencing and barriers around South Station to include the area where the protesters had previously camped out.
Law enforcement sources said the forcible clearing was dubbed “Operation Save South Station” by police.
The police were concerned that protesters had brought in propane tanks in their efforts to stay warm and were afraid that the camp could become semi-permanent like one last year in Seattle or the 2011 Occupy Albany protest that took over Academy Park.
The police’s decision to physically clear the camp Thursday came as pressure mounted on Hawkins and Sheehan to act.
Officers passed around at least one photoshopped image of the movie poster for the 2013 action film “Olympus Has Fallen” with Hawkins’ and his two deputy chiefs’ images at the center and the title “South Station Has Fallen” written below.
The president of the patrol officers union wrote a letter several days prior, accusing the city of viewing its officers as expendable.
end quotes
And you know what, people – in Albany, New York, where mayor Kathy Sheehan had a huge, intimidating BLACK LIVES MATTER banner flying over the entrance to Albany City Hall, proclaiming city hall as BLACK LIVES MATTER gang turf, and where she had he Black police chief take the knee in submission to BLACK LIVES MATTER, the police are expendable.
Welcome to the NEW WORLD ORDER!

If I were in law enforcement
I would look at how many years I have in . If eligible I would retire. If not and or I was a rookie or I only have a few years on the force no matter what ethnicity I am I would insist on having my department send me ( us) to retrain tactic use , insist on vehicle and body cameras along with vehicle and body radios work Dailey. This will still not be enough due to the mindset of today’s thinking . One possible format would be in any cases where the call is saying the individual appears out of control along with Police being dispatched also send an ambulance as done in auto crashes only here have the ambulance stop with in a block of the call as not to put them into a possible dangers ( arriving first ) situation . This way if an ambulance is needed it’s within seconds not minutes. I know more money being used but what is being spent on giving free money ( stimulus) away now. Here at least training and making jobs available could be beneficial.
Sorin Varzaru says
“If I were in law enforcement I would look at how many years I have in . If eligible I would retire. ”
I would tell you to enjoy your retirement. We obviously need law enforcement. What we don’t need is LE that kills 10-30 times more people per capita then the other industrialized countries do.
Paul Plante says
The other industrialized countries you refer to quite obviously have a much more law-abiding populace than is the case here with regard to a certain aspect of the “community” in the Unbited States of America which is tribal in nature and does not believe itself bound in any way, shape or manner to the laws and rules of the OPPRESSOR CLASS of WHITE-SKINNED PEOPLE which point is made crystal clear by Community Organizer and Activist Bree Newsome above here where she says, “(E)veryone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities.”
end quotes
The ruling white elite, Sorin?
Is she making reference to the white half of Hussein Obama, do you think, because he is the heart of the ruling elite along with HILLARY Clinton, who apparently had all her white blood removed and replaced with pure Black blood so she can pass as being Black, and her husband Bill?
Is she referring to you, Sorin?
You’re as much a part of the ruling white elite in the country as is anybody else.
As to Brittany Ann Byuarim “Bree” Newsome Bass, (born May 13, 1985), besides being real stupid, and ignorant of history and reality outside of her stifled imagination that is crippled by her racism and hatred of white people such as yourself; she is an American filmmaker, musician, speaker, and activist from Charlotte, North Carolina best known for her act of civil disobedience on June 27, 2015, when she was arrested for removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds in the aftermath of the Charleston church shooting.
Were you aware of that, Sorin?
She is famous, so does that mean she is right when she says “(E)veryone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities?”
Are you frightened by that, Sorin?
Or by “everyone,” does she only mean Black people?
Getting back to her story as Wikipedia has it, the resulting publicity from her taking down that flag put pressure on state officials to remove the flag, and it was taken down permanently on July 10, 2015, which makes her heroic, Sorin.
So does being heroic by taking down a Confederate flag make her right when she says “(E)veryone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities?”
Of course, she obviously believes that, but does the fact that she believes it make it in any way true?
Looking back on her early life and education as we try to cross the culture divide here to find out how her mind became so utterly ******-up that she believes that everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting the Black folks from the means of basic self-sufficiency, which as we will see in her case is totally FALSE, but also convincing the Black folks they need armed white officers to manage their children & communities, because they seem incapable of doing so themselves, which is why Black “children” stab each other with knives or simply kill each other with guns that being the WAY OF THE TRIBE, afterall, and although those ways might seem totally incomprehensible to a rational civilized person, that makes no difference to the TRIBE which makes its rules for itself and those rules include stabbing someone before they get the chance to stab you, which makes sense I guess, if you are a TRIBE member, we find Newsome attended Oakland Mills High School in Columbia, Maryland and in 2003, she was named one of the “20 Coolest Girls in America” by YM magazine, and while still in high school, Newsome created a short animated film for which she won a college scholarship and she studied film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
So does being one of the “20 Coolest Girls in America,” a high honor I am sure, make her right when she says “(E)veryone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities?”
Does the fact that she is one of the “20 Coolest Girls in America” make her credible to you?
And do people over in the motherland of Romania go around stabbing each other, Sorin, or are they above that kind of primitive savage behavior exhibited by the members of Bree Newsome’s TRIBE?
As to Newsome, who is one of the “20 Coolest Girls in America,” she said that her experience as a black woman working in the horror and sci-fi film genres inspired her to become an activist.
Do you think her experience as a Black woman working in the horror and sci-fi film genres make her right when she says “(E)veryone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities?”
Or did it give her a vivid imagination, especially being a Black woman working in the horror film genre, which vivid imagination has her believing that everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting the Black folks from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing the Black folks they need armed white officers to manage their children & communities?
Sounds like the plot of a good sci-fi horror film to me anyway.

“We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is racial tensions. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negroes. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause”
Brother Israel Cohen 1912
Paul Plante says
A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century (occasionally A Radical Program for the Twentieth Century) was a hoax that first gained public notoriety on June 7, 1957, during a debate on the Civil Rights Act of 1957, when Rep. Thomas Abernethy of Mississippi read the above quotation from it into the Congressional Record.
Abernethy had found the quotation in a March 1957 letter to the editor of The Washington Star; he claimed it as proof that the Civil Rights Movement was a foreign Communist plot.
However, The Washington Star soon apologized for having printed the quotation without verifying its authenticity and, on February 18, 1958, published an article entitled “Story of a Phony Quotation–A Futile Effort to Pin It Down–‘A Racial Program for the 20th Century’ Seems to Exist Only in Somebody’s Imagination”, which traced the quotation to Eustace Mullins, who claimed to have found it in a Zionist publication in the Library of Congress.
Slide Easy says
I am just so tired of all the hate and destruction then blaming it all on white people and calling it white privilege. Housing projects were built for both black and white by white people but if you have ever seen one after being occupied only one race destroys it. Go to any large city and tell me who lives in the area of burned out garbage ridden destroyed neighborhoods. I have black friends that are happy to work and own a home just like white people but then there are the ones that have been groomed by the democrats to destroy and act oppressed. The killing of George Floyd was wrong but because of one guys actions all white people should pay? I look at the sports figures that have million dollar contracts and ask “where is the oppression?” I look at music with multi-millionaires that are black and ask “where is the oppression?” Seems to me the black people have the same ability as any white person to succeed if they choose but many would rather play the victim and place blame on us white people that pay for their destruction. Why do black celebrities always side with the people that claim to be oppressed instead of telling them they have the same opportunities? Racism will never change because some people will always claim to be victims instead of helping themselves because it’s easier.
Paul Plante says
What we now have in this country to a degree that I have not seen or experienced before in my lifetime is a cultural divide that is based on some incredible ignorance.
For those unfamiliar with the term, a cultural divide is defined as “a boundary in society that separates communities whose social economic structures, opportunities for success, conventions, styles, are so different that they have substantially different psychologies,” where “psychologies” would be defined as the “mental characteristics or attitude of a person or group.”
For example, consider this TWEET above here from mindless TWITTER, a social media platform for ******* idiots in America and elsewhere that allows them to publicly display their ignorance, to wit:
AOC says Chauvin conviction in Floyd death is “not justice.”
“I don’t want this moment to be framed as this system working.”
end quotes
How can a rational, logical, sane person possibly respond to any of that ignorant horse****?
And don’t forget, people, as ******* stupid as she is, she is still a member of “congress,” with power over our lives, because there is absolutely nothing in the U.S. Constitution that bars a moron, or an idiot, or someone totally insane, including criminally insane, from serving as a member of congress in the United States of America so long as they can get the votes to put them in there.
And it comes down to the definition of the word “justice.”
According to the “white man’s” definition of the word “justice,” the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Law provides us with this following:
1 a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair
b : the principle or ideal of just dealing; also: conformity to the principle or ideal of just dealing
2 a : the administration of law; esp: the establishment or determination of rights according to law or equity [system of ]
b : fair, just, or impartial legal process
end quotes
According to that definition, and admittedly, we are over onto one side of the cultural divide here that does not include AOC and her ilk, in the case of Derek Chauvin, an A-HOLE, justice was most certainly done and yes, people, despite the moronic idiocy of AOC, the “system” of justice did work.
But again, that is a view from one side of the cultural divide that the warped and twisted psychologies of AOC and her crowd on the other side of the cultural divide cannot and will not accept, because to them, the word “justice” has some other kind of meaning that they are unable to articulate, because they are ******* morons and have no clue what they are talking about.
So when AOC says the Chauvin conviction in Floyd death is “not justice” and she don’t want this moment to be framed as this system working, simply write her off as someone who is insane and raving.
And what better example of the cultural divide now existing in America than this burst of pure horse****, again in the mind of a sane and rational person, from Black “activist” Bree Newsome in her TWEET above, to wit:
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons.”
“We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers.”
“Y’all need help.”
“I mean that sincerely.”
end quotes
What she is saying is that her side of the cultural divide, the side with an entirely different psychology that is firmly rooted in the African tribalism that gave us Black slaves in this country in the first place, does not want the ways of white people being forced on them.
So what is the solution?
Give them what they want.
Build a big wall around their communities to keep white people safe from them, and to keep them safe from white police officers coming in to break up a knife fight before one of them can cut the other, and let them kill each other off.
Plain and simple.
And when they do, by God, what a better world it will be for everybody else.
And that is not a “racist” statement at all.
To the contrary, it is a “tired of being dictated to by A-HOLES like AOC and Bree Newsome” statement.
Paul Plante says
In the original post, we, the American people, regardless of skin color, were given the following serious thoughts to ponder and consider and mull over, to wit:
There is no win.
All these politicians seem to want us fighting because it takes the focus off of what they are up to.
It seems all they want to do is to incite violence and diversity, such that there is so much chaos that they will force more pressure on a free society to give up more freedoms.
They don’t want to see the system working because all of the race and class hustle will lose value.
end quotes
A lot to think about, indeed, starting with the question of just who the hell are these politicians in the first place?
WHO put them in office?
WHO do they answer to?
WHAT ideology do they cleave to?
WHAT are their values?
And here it is a total BULL**** statement to say that we all share the same values because we clearly do not.
For example, Black “activist” Bree Newsome in her TWEET above put her personal values on the table for all to see, to wit:
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons.”
“We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers.”
“Y’all need help.”
“I mean that sincerely.”
end quotes
Reading that from my point of view, which is from the other side of a huge gulf between us called
the “cultural divide,” I would say that it is she who needs help, and I mean that sincerely.
So we here in the United States of America clearly do not share a common set of values.
As to these politicians who are inciting violence against police officers while milking the race and class hustle for all it is worth, let us go back to the Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “‘Community response’ masses at Albany police’s South Station -New demonstration comes after night of unrest, arrests after encampment was forcibly cleared” by Steve Hughes and Eduardo Medina on April 23, 2021, where we had as follows on that subject, to wit:
The continued clashes between police and demonstrators drew mixed reactions from city officials on Friday.
City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs and one group of Common Council members released a statement calling the police department’s decision to remove the protesters, “disheartening and overly aggressive.”
The police should have tried to de-escalate tensions and rely on community voices to help address the protesters concerns, the lawmakers said.
“This event has served to fuel tension and further damaged the relationship between our police department and segments of our community,” they said.
The statement was also signed by councilmembers Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane and Alfredo Balarin.
Council President Corey Ellis and six other councilmembers released a separate statement hours later.
They called the police department’s actions “not acceptable” but added that residents in the area had complained about the encampment.
“The tactics were not okay, but the need to respect the people who live by South Station was,” they said, while calling for both sides to de-escalate.
The letter was signed by councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey.
County Legislator Sam Fein, who represents the area, said he also believed police had used too much force in clearing the camp.
He said the protesters wanted to see a more equitable criminal justice system.
“They want police to treat everyone equally,” he said.
end quotes
A “more equitable” criminal justice system?
What the **** is a more equitable criminal justice system, where the word “equitable” is defined as “fair and impartial?
Given that those morons are talking about New York State, the question raised and unanswered is what is unequitable about the New York State Criminal Procedure Law, which not only is color-blind, but is intended to protect the poor and weak from arbitrary police power?
And what is unequitable about Title 19.2 – Criminal Procedure of the Virginia Code?
As to this statement by these Albany, New York politicians that the police should have tried to de-escalate tensions and rely on community voices to help address the protesters concerns, there would not have been tensions to de-escalate in the first place if the politicians had not of created them by their own craven cowardice and stupidity, which brings us to the source of the tensions in the first place, which is Democratic Socialist mayor of the criminal sanctuary city of Albany, New York being quoted in an Albany, New York Times Union story entitled “As statues tumble, relatives of Gen. Philip Schuyler ask for pause” by Brendan J. Lyons on July 5, 2020, as follows:
Although (Kathy) Sheehan has been mayor of the city (Albany) since 2014, the recent protests in Albany and across the country in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer prompted her call for the statue’s removal at a time she believes everyone should embrace the Black Lives Matter movement.
Earlier this month, Sheehan authorized city workers to paint a giant “Black Lives Matter” mural on Lark Street in the Center Square neighborhood.
While a few leaders of Black Lives Movement groups have promoted violence, or have a history of violence themselves, the mayor said it is time for the nation to embrace that cause.
end quotes
There is the roots of this insanity today right there before our eyes with Kathy Sheehan, one of Joe Biden’s electors, which is to say, one of the members of the Electoral College who made Joe Biden the president, throwing her considerable political weight behind BLACK LIVES MATTER, which is to say, she has thrown her considerable political clout against the concept of law and order as white-skinned people understand it, which is based on RULE OF LAW, and by doing so, she has become the enemy of the Albany, New York Police Department, which is why it is under siege by BLACK LIVES MATTER today, and the groveling politicians of Albany to include City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, and councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey, along with Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein have crossed over the cultural divide over to the side where madness, insanity and mob rule prevail, to reinforce that message of liberal “COP-HATE” that makes the Albany Police the enemy of certain “segments” of their community, that being the segment that hates white people, hates law, hates order and hates the civilization that surrounds them.
A die has been cast and a Rubicon has been crossed and I see no way of going back to sanity and rationality now.
Paul Plante says
So yes, people – “COP HATE.”
“COP HATE” is a term that denotes a state of mind and one of the best examples of the promotion of “COP HATE” in America that I can think of is Joe Biden, the Democrat put into office over us as president by Kathy Sheehan of Albany along with Hillary and Bill Clinton and Andy Cuomo, being quoted thusly in a Washington Examiner article entitled “Biden now claims that Michael Brown was a victim of systemic racism” by Becket Adams, Commentary Writer, on August 10, 2020, to wit:
Joe Biden this weekend tied the 2014 shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, resident Michael Brown to the need to tackle “systemic racism” and corrupt law enforcement.
end quotes
If anyone needed any proof that we now have someone who is infected to the point of insanity with “COP HATE” serving as U.S. president, there we have it right there in black and white.
With no evidence to back up his assertions, Joe Biden issued a blanket condemnation of every police department in the United States of America and painted a bull’s-eye on every white police officer in the United States of America by accusing them of being corrupt, and thus, he established “COP HATE” as a legitimate policy here in the United States of America!
And now we have these groveling politicians of Albany to include City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, and councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey, along with Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein all parroting that same message of “COP HATE” in the sanctuary city of Albany, New York, while telling us as follows, to wit:
“This event has served to fuel tension and further damaged the relationship between our police department and segments of our community,” they said.
end quotes
And there, they are dead wrong, because the tension was first fueled by Hillary Clinton, another Biden Elector along with Kathy Sheehan, being quoted in a Daily Caller article entitled “Hillary Tells Black Church White People Must End ‘Systemic Racism’” by Alex Pfeiffer, White House Correspondent, on April 20, 2016, as follows:
“We have to be honest about systemic racism and particularly the responsibility of white people, not just people in public life but all of us,” Hillary said.
She later said at the event, “We all have implicit biases.”
“They are almost in the DNA going back probably millennia.”
“And what we need to do is be more honest about that and surface them.”
Clinton added, “I don’t have the answers, I’m not a behavioral psychologist or anything, but I think that needs to be done in every community kind of setting we can find that is open to doing it.”
end quotes
There is the event that has served to fuel tension not only in the criminal sanctuary city of Albany, New York, where “COP HATE” reigns supreme under Kathy Sheehan and the Albany City Council but across America, as well, and that is the event that has further damaged the relationship between the Albany Police Department and the lawless, cop-hating segments of the “community” in Albany that have had the South Station of the Albany Police under siege with the encouragement of the Albany City Council, the members of which have crossed over the cultural divide over to the side where madness, insanity and mob rule prevail, to reinforce that message of liberal “COP-HATE” that makes the Albany Police the enemy of certain “segments” of their community, that being the segment that hates white people, hates law, hates order and hates the civilization that surrounds them.
Paul Plante says
29 April 2021
To: Tom Hoey, City of Albany Common Council Member Ward 15
Dear Councilman Hoey:
Thank you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to share with me your opinion on my right to have an informed opinion of my own as a mature, rational, sane and lucid American citizen who was trained to engage in critical thinking at a very early age on the on-going situation in Albany involving the Albany Police being besieged by a howling mob.
As to offering “solutions,” might I in turn ask you solutions to what?
What solutions might I possibly have now to the mess that now exists in our capital city as a result of your mayor, Kathy Sheehan, surrendering the City of Albany to the Marxist mob that is BLACK LIVES MATTER?
Now that that has been done, the surrender of the city, and now that mayor Kathy Sheehan has proclaimed Albany City Hall as BLACK LIVES MATTER turf by placing that huge, intimidating BLACK LIVES MATTER banner over the entrance to Albany City Hall where it was very visible for all to see, what solution to any of that do you see me offering?
And pray tell, what solutions might I possibly have to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stoking anti-police bias and hatred by claiming that Michael Brown was murdered by police, which is a lie?
Talk about it being easy to throw bombs and destroy rather than build, there you have a clear case of it right there.
And now that the bombs have been thrown by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, how is it that you now expect me to be able to call them back or undo the harm to society those stupid and irresponsible comments by those two elected officials have caused?
Do you believe me to be some kind of miracle worker in that regard?
And what possible solution might I have to all the harm caused by Hillary Clinton, who along with Kathy Sheehan voted to put Joe Biden in the White House after he denounced police in America as being corrupt and murderers, being quoted in a Daily Caller article entitled “Hillary Tells Black Church White People Must End ‘Systemic Racism’” by Alex Pfeiffer, White House Correspondent, on April 20, 2016, as follows:
“We have to be honest about systemic racism and particularly the responsibility of white people, not just people in public life but all of us,” Hillary said.
She later said at the event, “We all have implicit biases.”
“They are almost in the DNA going back probably millennia.”
“And what we need to do is be more honest about that and surface them.”

Talk about it being easy to throw bombs and destroy rather than build, there we have another prime example of it right there before our eyes – reckless, irresponsible and frankly stupid and ignorant speech by Hillary Clinton and frankly, Mr. Councilman, I have no solutions for that, now that those words have been uttered by Hillary Clinton and made a part of the public record that is now indelibly etched in the minds of that “segment” of your population in Albany that hates white people, hates law, hates order, hates white civilization, hates white police officers and instead wants a primitive tribal society in Albany where they can be as lawless and savage as they please with impunity as they run amuck and gun each other down as they have been doing for years in your very troubled and sick city.
So, yes, Mr. Councilman, it is very true that today, for what ails Albany, New York, which is gross ignorance and incredible stupidity now firmly engrained in a segment of your population that believes it has a right to use violence and intimidation to get its way, I have no solutions, nor frankly, do you, or Kathy Sheehan or the Albany Police Chief that Kathy Sheehan had get down on his knees to grovel before BLACK LIVES MATTER or City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, or councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey, along with Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein.
It is all of you who have created that mess down there, not me.
You wanted a lawless, sanctuary city, and now your dreams have come true, and your goal has been accomplished.
And my solution for myself is simply to stay as far from Albany, New York as I can, for my own personal safety.
There is a solution for you, Mr. Councilman, and I sincerely hope you have yourself a wonderful day.
Respectfully, Paul R. Plante, P.E.

Dear Councilman Hoey:
While I cannot give you any solutions to the mess in the city of Albany created by mayor Kathy Sheehan when she surrendered the city to BLACK LIVES MATTER and then had her police chief get down on his knees in submission to BLACK LIVES MATTER, I can solve one riddle for you as to why members of the Albany Police allegedly had their badges covered up when they went out on orders from Kathy Sheehan to break the siege of the South Station that Kathy Sheehan likened to the insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January 2021 when the howling mob stormed the Capitol, and that is so that the mob doesn’t follow them home to where they live, to terrorize their families, and their neighborhoods, as happened in St. Louis when a similar mob of “protestors” broke into a gated community and started terrorizing a man and his wife who were forced to have to defend themselves at gunpoint.
That is why they covered up their badges, to protect themselves from mob violence, along with their families and communities, and truly, at this point in time, where the Albany Police have become mere pawns on a political gameboard to aggrandize City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs and to further her political career, who can blame them?
Certainly not their parents, their relatives, their immediate families and the members of their communities, all of whom fear on a daily basis for the lives of these officers in the atmosphere of racial hate being stoked in the city of Albany by yourself along with City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, who has already pre-determined that the Albany Police are in need of reform, because the howling mob comprised of segments of your population wants them weakened into cringing, craven, servile cowards, and Dorcey, for political purposes related to her own political career is truckling to the mob by making the police the enemy, along with councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien, Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein.
And with respect to the Albany Police being reduced to the status of pawns on a political chessboard, all we need do to prove that thesis is go back to the Times Union article entitled “‘Community response’ masses at Albany police’s South Station -New demonstration comes after night of unrest, arrests after encampment was forcibly cleared” by Steve Hughes and Eduardo Medina on April 23, 2021, where we had as follows on that subject, to wit:
The continued clashes between police and demonstrators drew mixed reactions from city officials on Friday.
end quotes
First of all, Mr. Councilman, why were these clashes happening in the first place?
According to the Times Union story “In Albany, a peaceful park rally and a police station clash” by Eduardo Medina on April 14, 2021, we had as follows:
ALBANY — Two scenarios played out on Albany’s streets Wednesday evening — a peaceful rally in the park to protest a police killing in Minnesota, and later a clash between officers and some of the same protesters at the city’s South Station.
The rally was organized for Townsend Park to protest police brutality and the killing of Daunte Wright, a Minnesota man gunned down Sunday by a police officer during a traffic stop.
end quotes
So why were those protestors outside of South Station provoking violence in the first place?
What did the Albany Police have to do with the killing of Daunte Wright, a Minnesota man gunned down Sunday by a police officer during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minn., which is in another state 1,233.8 miles west of Albany via I-90 W?
What possible justice for Daunte Wright, a Minnesota man gunned down Sunday by a police officer who now faces charges of manslaughter, during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minn. did the Albany Police have?
What jurisdiction do the Albany Police have in a killing that occurred in another state 1233.8 miles away?
So why was the mob at South Station in the first place, other than to provoke violence so that you people and Dorcey can claim it is the Albany Police who are violent?
When that mob came to South Station howling for justice for Daunte Wright and looking to provoke violence, why didn’t the chief go out there and point out to the howlers that they were looking for justice for Duante not only in the wrong city, but the wrong state, as well?
Had that have happened, there would have been no further violence,
But that did not happen, because Dorcey needs that violence to further her political campaign, which takes us back to that Times Union article as follows:
City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs and one group of Common Council members released a statement calling the police department’s decision to remove the protesters, “disheartening and overly aggressive.”
end quotes
Disheartening, Mr. Councilman?
How so where disheartening is defined as causing someone to lose determination or confidence?
And disheartening to whom?
Certainly not to the thousands of honest, rational, lucid, and sane law-abiding people in the state who and nation have been watching this story develop since Kathy Sheehan publicly stated that everybody in the nation should “embrace” BLACK LIVES MATTER, and who are sick to death of these BLACK LIVES MATTER mobs taking over our city streets as was depicted in the Times Union story “In Albany, a peaceful park rally and a police station clash” by Eduardo Medina on April 14, 2021, to wit:
The protesters, who wore shirts that read “BLM” and carried signs that demanded “Justice for Daunte,” had begun their march around 4 p.m., traveling peacefully as a group through Albany’s streets, chanting and playing music.
They knelt on corner streets — stopping traffic in the process — and held moments of silence for victims of police brutality, raising their fists.
As the protesters marched, two men clad in camouflage, including Andre Simmons, made sure police and vehicles let the protesters through.
end quotes
By what right, Mr. Councilman, do these “protesters” stop traffic on public thoroughfares in Albany because somebody was killed in Minnesota?
Getting back to the other Times Union story, it continues as follows:
The police should have tried to de-escalate tensions and rely on community voices to help address the protesters concerns, the lawmakers said.
“This event has served to fuel tension and further damaged the relationship between our police department and segments of our community,” they said.
end quotes
Oh, really?
According to the Times Union, Kathy Sheehan gave the order to clear that encampment, to wit:
Mayor Kathy Sheehan said Friday it came down to public safety.
She said the protesters made their demands clear.
“This wasn’t a hostage negotiation, the decision was made to provide the space for people to protest, to be heard, to not escalate the situation.”
“And it became clear that it was becoming unsafe,” she said.
end quotes
So why aren’t councilmembers Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane and Alfredo Balarin going after the mayor, instead of the police?
Getting back to the Times Union:
Council President Corey Ellis and six other councilmembers released a separate statement hours later.
They called the police department’s actions “not acceptable” but added that residents in the area had complained about the encampment.
“The tactics were not okay, but the need to respect the people who live by South Station was,” they said, while calling for both sides to de-escalate.
The letter was signed by councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien and Thomas Hoey.
end quotes
So who really are the police here, Mr. Councilman?
It is you, is it not, along with Council President Corey Ellis and councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien.
If you are publicly calling the police department’s actions “not acceptable,” then obviously, you yourself know more about policing than does the Albany Police Chief as to what “acceptable” actions should have been in this matter.
And if you are saying the tactics were not okay, then it is again obvious that you know what tactics should have been employed.
So why weren’t they, Mr. Councilman?
Did you or Council President Corey Ellis or councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien make any effort at all to meet with the police chief to let him know before the protestors were cleared out what tactics you wanted employed, given that it is you and Council President Corey Ellis and councilmembers Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien who know more about policing than does the Albany Police Chief?
Or did you stay silent in the hopes of the protestors causing a scene to fit into your narrative of the Albany Police being in need of reform, which is exactly what happened.
You and City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, and councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien along with Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein are playing sick political games with the lives of these police officers and now you are surprised that they are hiding their badge numbers to keep their loved ones safe from these howling mobs you are catering to in Albany?
Are you really that dense?
Would you want these mobs in your neighborhood, howling at your door and making your family fearful?
So why should the members of the Albany Police who you are making expendable?
Respectfully,
Paul R. Plante, P.E.

To: Tom Hoey, City of Albany Common Council Member Ward 15
Dear Councilman Hoey:
While I cannot give you any solutions today to the “racial” mess in the city of Albany that was created by mayor Kathy Sheehan when she was quoted in the Times Union story “As statues tumble, relatives of Gen. Philip Schuyler ask for pause” by Brendan J. Lyons on July 5, 2020 as saying, “(W)hile a few leaders of Black Lives Movement groups have promoted violence, or have a history of violence themselves, the mayor said it is time for the nation to embrace that cause,” a lunatic statement if there ever was one to loyal American citizens who do not believe in embracing violent fringe groups that use political violence to get their way, which statement makes the mayor out to sane, rational and lucid people as an out-of-control dangerous crackpot not fit to be the leader of a free people, it does appear from the Times Union story “Albany police to investigate why officers covered badges at South Station crackdown” by Pete DeMola on April 29, 2021 that the riddle of why the Albany Police might have covered their badges during the breaking of the siege by the lawless mob whose action is backed by yourself and City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, and councilpersons Sonia Frederick, Joyce Love, Jahmel Robinson, Judy Doesschate, Owusu Anane, Ginnie Farrell, Derek Johnson, Cathy Fahey, Alfredo Balarin, Michael O’Brien along with Council President Corey Ellis and County Legislator Sam Fein, has been solved, to wit:
ALBANY — Albany police have launched an internal investigation into why officers obscured their badge numbers during the forceful clearing of an encampment outside of a police station last week.
Police Chief Eric Hawkins said that while it is a violation of department policy for an officer to knowingly obscure identifying information, it was not a “nefarious action” but rather a way to protect against threats to their families by activists.
“This was widely known among the officers,” Hawkins said.
“And they felt like they could minimize the risk to their families by concealing their badge numbers.”
end quotes
Amen Chief Hawkins, say hundreds of people across the Capital District who have loved ones who are members of the Albany Police, who do not want those people coming to terrorize them and their children and grandchildren.
As President-elect Joe Biden said after a mob stormed the capitol on 6 January 2021, “(D)on’t dare call them protesters, they were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists.”
Now, Councilman Hoey, would you want those howling ignorant mobs that were besieging South Station “demonstrating” outside your front door, writing obscenities on your walls and threatening to burn down your house while breaking your windows?
So why then would the members of the Albany Police want those howlers following them home?
As to the use of violence as a political tool or the threat of violence by these “protesters,” pursuant to their ideology, let us go to the Times Union story “Albany police put barricade around South Station – City general service employees fenced off the sidewalk early Wednesday morning” by Steve Hughes and Eduardo Medina on April 21, 2021, where we had as follows:
Brandon Brown, 21, from Schenectady, said around a dozen police officers helped put up fencing in front of South Station at around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Brown said Amy Jones, a community leader and activist who has been the liaison between protesters and city officials, warned protesters that police were going to show up to put the fencing around the building.
“They think we’re going to burn their building down?”
“We could’ve done that these last five days, I don’t understand,” Brown said.
end quotes
Do you think these police officers want that person outside their homes telling their families and children that him and his mob could burn down their house any time they want?
Do you think threatening to burn down a police station or a police officer’s house is a form of “peaceful protest?”
Which takes us back to the Times Union story “Albany police to investigate why officers covered badges at South Station crackdown” by Pete DeMola on April 29, 2021, and your comments therein as follows:
“I really dread the hot summer nights when more people are going to be out in the streets,” said Councilman Tom Hoey.
“What can we do to get people talking?”
end quotes
To which I respond, about what?
At this point, after Kathy Sheehan has herself very publicly embraced BLACK LIVES MATTER, and by extension political violence, and after Kathy Sheehan has appointed City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs to demonize the Albany Police in the name of politics to advance the political career of Dorcey, what is there to talk about, besides how polarized they have managed to make things today?
And that this intentional polarization of the community by Kathy Sheehan and City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs is very much political is also very much apparent by returning to the Times Union story “Albany police to investigate why officers covered badges at South Station crackdown” by Pete DeMola on April 29, 2021, to wit:
Sheehan was questioned aggressively by the moderator of a panel discussion on police reform organized by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy.
Moderator Sandra Susan Smith said the altercation generated national attention and wondered how a mayor who is seeking a third term on a platform of social justice and correcting longstanding systematic inequalities reconciles those viewpoints with the forceful clearing of nonviolent protesters.
“You’re saying one thing,” Smith said.
“The actions look very different.”
end quotes
Now, Sandra Susan Smith is the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice at Harvard, and you do not get to be the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice at Harvard unless you are one of the smartest people on the planet, so when she makes it clear that to get re-elected, Kathy Sheehan has to truckle to the howling mob while turning the Albany Police into cringing, craven, cowardly skulkers afraid of their own shadows to appease BLACK LIVES MATTER, you know it is very much political.
As an aside, if you want to see what a real forceful clearing looks like in real life, let us simply go back to 1968 when Democrat Mayor Daley in Chicago had his police wade into the protesters out there for the 1968 Democrat Convention and inflict some serious violence on them:
50 Years Ago: As World Watched, Chicago Police Attacked Protesters at ’68 Democratic Convention
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSFH1t1PadY
end quotes
That is what some real police violence looks like, and it is clear that in this case, the Albany Police used far more restraint, and yes, Councilman Hoey, when Sandra Susan Smith, the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice at Harvard, told Kathy Sheehan that “the altercation generated national attention,” she is very much correct, and I suspect a goodly portion or segment of the population that has been staying riveted to this story since Kathy Sheehan was quoted in the Times Union story “As statues tumble, relatives of Gen. Philip Schuyler ask for pause” by Brendan J. Lyons on July 5, 2020 as saying, “(W)hile a few leaders of Black Lives Movement groups have promoted violence, or have a history of violence themselves, the mayor said it is time for the nation to embrace that cause,” would very much like to see, for the good of the nation, Kathy Sheehan voted out of office.
