The CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) program that has been adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies throughout the nation is not per se Marxist, however I would say that political correctness and multiculturalism has its roots from Marxism.  They are inherently subsets of Marxist ideology in which specifically American culture, mores and norms have been increasingly chipped away in an effort to move toward socialism and Marxism.  Moreover, the values of the dominant culture have been substituted for the perspectives of victim groups.

In  CIT training in particular you are indoctrinated in victimology of the mentally ill.  They want law enforcement to see them as victims of their illness and not as criminals.  We do on occasions see mentally ill subjects who are not involved in criminal activity.  We have a fundamental understanding that they ill and are in need of help and don’t know where to turn.  As police officers we can get them the general help that they need and be on our way to the next call.  However, those that do fall under the criminal category want us to believe that they are victims too.  As human beings they need to be held accountable for there actions regardless of their circumstance.  Remember that part of multiculturalism and political correctness is taking away the true meaning of things and inserting a new meaning to fit the need.  As law enforcement officials we must not fall prey to this tactic unless we want to see further erosion of police powers.

Community laws based upon the culture, values and traditions as well as its history are being replaced by laws and delivery mechanisms that are universal.  As such, these new laws, human rights laws, trump old values.  Within the context of victims, who really see themselves as a minority, they appear to have more rights than others based upon victimology.

What we have seen in the past and are seeing more of today is the rise towards a more multicultural society and that law enforcement officials of all ranks should undergo training on racial equality and cultural diversity issues so as to become more non-judgmental about the contacts made during the working shift.  Multiculturalism wants to promote equal treatment of all cultures, however this is not true.  The one culture within our nation that they don’t treat equally is the indigenous American culture.  What one purports to be an agenda of equality, really promotes the deconstruction of majority culture.  What we have seen in the schools as well as in law enforcement are the teaching that our culture is racist and colonialist and it should be traded in for a new multicultural model.  At the base of multiculturalism, within the CIT framework is the sense of egalitarianism, which says that everyone’s culture and lifestyle has equal validity and moral stature.

Italian communist Antonio Gramsci grasped the most effective means of overturning Western society in which one was to subvert its culture and morality.  Instead of mobilizing the peasants or working class to take over the world, it would be achieved by the culture war.  The moral beliefs of the majority would be replaced by the values of those on the margins of society.  This would be brought about by capturing all of ones community institutions; schools, universities, churches, the media, the legal community, the police and volunteer groups and making sure that the elite, intellectual as well, would all be on the same subversive sheet of music.  The consequence of moral and cultural relativism is that one is increasingly unable to make moral distinctions based upon behavior.  This moral equivalence reverts into a moral inversion, in which those who do wrong are excused if they belong to a victim group, while those at the receiving end of their behavior are blamed because they belong to the majority, which is viewed as oppressive.

We are increasingly going down this road where the arrestee is viewed as the victim and the police as the violator; self-defense is viewed as aggression, while the original violence is viewed sympathetically and with understanding and in some cases even justified.  We should use current laws and common sense to dictate what is wrong and what is right in society.  For if we continue with the elevation of the individual and the attack on authority, we will see an even further fundamental attack on culture, norms and mores, delving into nihilistic doctrines of postmodernism where everything, including the concepts of truth and objectivity are reduced to meaninglessness.
