The latest sequel to the George Floyd/Black Lives Matter debacle comes to you live from snow-white Minnesota with a cast of lily-white performers.  Noticeable differences include the absence of burned down neighborhoods and the twist in the plot that includes the cop in this case actually getting it wrong.

Bottom line on the ICE Shooting, if the agent could have gotten out of the way, he should have gotten out of the way. In reality he was able to get out of the way because he did get out of the way, uninjured, so again, clearly his life was not in danger, he simply had to step aside, which he did while firing his weapon.  Had he simply let her go, at most, charges would have been violations or at a stretch, low level misdemeanors.  Instead she is dead.  Not obeying a lawful order to stop, or to get out of the car, or whatever, is not license to use deadly force.

The shoot was bad.

The hoopla of course, has much to do with the built-up frustration, and hostility as America repeatedly witnesses angry-middle-class housewives turn into urban-warriorettes, pretending to be righteously indignant in order to be the center of attention in their wine-club.  Virtue signaling from the rare-air of the upper-middle class mommies looking for something to do makes them Tic-Tok and X celebrities, validated from the comfort of their SUV’s.

While they may be easy to hate, that doesn’t sign their death warrant.

And here is the most troubling part.  We are all so over-loaded with the barrage of stories coming from the news-cycle; we tend to forget over time what has happened.  In eight weeks or so, this episode will be a distant memory, covered over with whatever the next story will be and in some small by-line buried in the newspapers or perhaps not even mentioned in the larger media machine, the family of the dead woman in Minnesota will be paid an undisclosed sum of money and no admissions of wrong-doing will be forthcoming and with that, we’re off to the next stop for our outrage machine to become re-engaged.
