The law enforcement community is finding
it more difficult to suppress crime because political correctness and
multiculturalism have infiltrated the upper echelons of the police command
structure.
Political correctness is in reality
cultural Marxism. The origins of
cultural Marxism go back to theWW1, where political correctness and Marxism are
totalitarian ideologies. The essence of
this ideology is to take a philosophy and say, “on the basis of this
philosophy, certain aspects must be true.”
Political correctness says that all history is determined by power, and
the extent of your power is determined by your race, sex, sexual orientation or
political leanings.
As we see in classical Marxism, the
workers and peasants are good and the bourgeoisie is evil. In parallel,
feminist, blacks, hispanics and homosexuals are good because these groups have
achieved victim status and are deemed good no matter what they do. Conversely, white males are evil, like the
bourgeoisie in the Marxist system.
Political correctness and its adherents
then rely on expropriation to get their way.
In classical Marxism, i.e. Russia, they expropriated the
bourgeoisie, when they took their property.
In the politically correct community on college campuses, they
expropriated by using quotas for admissions.
Deconstruction is the final part of the
political correctness. Deconstruction
essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any
meaning desired for the situation.
A symmetrical component of political
correctness is multiculturalism.
Multiculturalism is the public policy for managing cultural diversity in
a multiethnic society, officially stressing mutual respect and tolerance for
cultural differences within a country’s borders. For the law enforcement community this has
taken the form of a Crisis Intervention Team or CIT, where we must show respect
and tolerance of those who have mental health issues, regardless of the
contact.
Within this framework lies two other
views, mono-culturalism, old world policies that recognize themselves as one
and do not recognize the existence of other nations/nationalities within their
midst. The melting pot or salad bowl of America, where immigrants maintain their own
culture even though they are in America.
Multiculturalists believe you are racist
if you do not reflect their view of society.
This tangent is eerily familiar to cultural Marxism as I described
earlier and is detrimental to the health and well being of communities. Multiculturalism thus does not bring groups
together but divides people when they need to be united in the fight for social
justice or in our case justice. As such,
multiculturalism is the “cult of ethnicity” and could destroy a nation. It has certainly divided the law enforcement
community as a whole.
These ideologies have gained roots into
the law enforcement communities in various ways. One small but effective tactic approved by
police administrations all across the United State
is the handing out of business cards on traffic stops where no citations are
issued. On the back of these cards
contain the following: Officer blank of
the X agency has contacted you as a result of a traffic stop. If you have comments positive or negative
about this traffic stop, you should contact the office on the front of this
card using the information provided. The
wording on the card suggest that a stop where no ticket was given should result
in a complaint whether a business card was handed out or not. Conversely, the same would apply where the
officer performed above and beyond the means necessary.
Another more aggressive tactic is when a
small minority group yells and complains the loudest and demands action from
the police administration. The most
glaring example of this is the Paul Childs case in which a mentally impaired
young black male with a knife was shot and killed by a Denver Police officer. A small vocal, militant minority demanded
action against Officer James Turney, the officer involved in the shooting. The loud and angry demands of the minority
group intimidated the Chief of Police into continually moving the goal posts of
policy and procedures. The actions of
the administration and the activist group divided patrol officers and pitted
them against citizens and administrators so that neither side benefited. Officers no longer felt confident to do their
job for fear of punishment and abandonment by the administration and the Mayor.
Common sense and the current laws should
rule the day instead of political correctness or multiculturalism. Unless plain speaking is allowed, clear
thinking is denied. Political
correctness is part of the social decline that generation by generation makes
public behavior less restrained and less rational.
People need to be united through common
laws, common sense and common traits.
The American streets are the battleground of many special interest
groups who seek to add anarchy and divisiveness to cities and the law
enforcement community. We must not give
into this tactic and fight back with all that is right and just. Chief Justice
John Jay said: “Providence has been pleased to give this one
connected country to one united people.
A people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language,
professing the same religion, attached to the same principals of government,
very similar in their manners and customs.
This country and this people seem to have been made for each other and
it appears as if it was the design of providence. That and inheritance so proper and convenient
for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should
never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous and alien sovereignties.”
