As I may have mentioned once or twice over the decades going back to the previous millennium, American discourse is increasingly dominated by childish good guys vs. bad guys reasoning, with determining which is which being being decided by intersectional Pokemon points.
Since the MSM knows that the white male Columbus cop who saved at least one black girl’s life with his grace under pressure on Tuesday by shooting the attacker just before she stabbed the girl in pink is the Bad Guy, all the facts about him are proof of his innate badness. From the Daily Beast:
Columbus Cop Who Fatally Shot Black Teen Was Military-Trained Marksman
‘VERY DISTURBING’Authorities on Wednesday released two 911 calls made ahead of the shooting, in which a female voice warns people are “trying to stab us, trying to put their hands on our grandma.”

Updated Apr. 21, 2021 7:06PM ET / Published Apr. 21, 2021 2:45PM ETCOLUMBUS, Ohio—The Columbus police officer who fatally shot 16-year-old Ma’khia Bryant on Tuesday during a chaotic encounter involving a knife appears to be a military-trained marksman and son of the department’s longtime basic training sergeant.
In other words, his impressive actions were the result of excellent nature and nurture for his job. But to notice that, you have to have an objective view of what he did.
Social media posts and news reports indicate that the officer who fired at the Black teen, identified by authorities on Wednesday as Nicholas Reardon,
Funny how the Capitol cop who shot the unarmed woman hasn’t had his name revealed yet.
is a U.S. Air National Guardsman who received an expert marksman badge with an M4 Carbine. He was a graduate of Bishop Watterson Catholic school in Columbus, where he was a member of the wrestling team; his alma mater posted periodic updates on his progress through basic training.

… Reardon appears to be the son of retired Sergeant Edward “Ted” Reardon, a 32-year veteran of the Columbus Division of Police. The elder Reardon, also an Air Force veteran, was honored at an Ohio State football game in 2019, where the announcer noted he was the basic training sergeant at the Columbus Police Academy.
According to a send-off tweet from the Columbus Police in early 2020, Reardon trained more than 700 recruits during his tenure at the department. …
That the shooter received armed forces training potentially invites fresh questions about the militarization of police in America. …
The initial body-cam video was released Tuesday night after Bryant’s family members spoke to reporters and accused authorities of killing a girl who was just trying to defend herself. Donnie Bryant, one of the teenager’s cousins, told The Daily Beast that the family is “absolutely shocked” by the footage of Tuesday’s shooting and wants “justice.”
The video is “very disturbing. As a former city council member, I know first-hand there are de-escalating tactics that could have been used in this situation. You don’t have to pull out your gun and kill a 16-year-old,” Bryant said.
Describing the teenager as a “bubbly” girl who “had a sweet soul and loved her mother very much,” Bryant said the family is struggling to figure out how to move forward. “I don’t think there are words for what is happening right now. We want to know what that officer was thinking. What is really going on with the Columbus Police Department,” he said.
“You heard about the sigh of relief with the George Floyd case. Well, not here in Columbus, Ohio,” he added.
The teenager’s neighbors were also shocked by the shooting. Charles Williams, a 63-year-old neighbor, told The Daily Beast that when he arrived at the scene, officers were still standing around after Bryant’s body had been taken away.
“Neighbors had begun to gather and were chanting, ‘Black lives matter,’” Williams said. “The officers responded by chanting, ‘Blue lives matter.’” …
At least they didn’t say “A– L—- M—–” like that judge.

Ma’khia Bryant had to know that police were on the scene, and watching. They probably came with the siren on. And yet she knocked the one girl down, and tried to stab the other. What might she be doing if police were not watching?
No good deed goes unpunished.
I’m sure the Wokies of Twitter are right on that one.
Murdered, btw, not just ‘shot’..
But was she ‘bubbly’??
That’s a meaningless description.
What the writer of that blurb probably doesn’t understand, though, is that this officer was trained to be a military policeman and therefore had much greater small arms (and LE/force protection) training than your average airman. In particular, AF security forces training has more handgun training than is usual. Military in general concentrates on rifle marksmanship, not handguns, which are of extremely limited use in military conflicts, but those who do MP work get extra handgun training.

The person with a weapon, who had no regard for another black woman's right to life, was stopped from doing mortal harm.
Officer could have allowed another black on black murder to happen.
Sorry ma'am, your precious baby was going to kill another mother's precious baby.
A not so wild guess is that this fight was over some black male who could give a shit about either girl.
Skills with a rifle, especially on a basic qualification range, have only a tenuous relationship to effective pistol shooting, especially in a real life situation. Though the picture indicates he was Security Forces, which is the Air Force’s ground combat/MP specialty. Good chance he was pistol qualified as well.
With this incident, we’re seeing as clearly as we can the implicit message from blacks with regards to police: “you don’t get to kill us, only we get to kill us.”
The left sees the Chauvin case as a big win. They are confident they can control trials against police officers to get the desired result. They have good reason to believe this. I expect to see a lot more of this kind of thing in the future.
Would a wrongful death lawsuit force the name of the killer of Ashli Babbitt to be released?
I have a solution to the problem. My solution would do the following.
-Radically decrease the Black homicide rate.
-Make it rare for there to be violent interactions between police and Blacks.
-Decrease racial segregation.
My solution is this.
Ban Blacks from owning firearms. Also, institute an exceptionally aggressive “stop and risk” policy to take guns, knives, and other weapons out of the hands of Blacks. Gun&knife buyback programs too.
If we did all that, there’d be racial harmony in this country and much safer streets. The primary beneficiaries would be Blacks.
“Bryant’s family members spoke to reporters and accused authorities of killing a girl who was just trying to defend herself.”
No. She was a girl who was just trying to kill someone.
But not shocked she was wielding a knife and trying to kill someone with it. And what would you know about justice?
Yeah, and its called Good Parenting!
And her parents* didn’t have to raise someone who thinks it’s good to pull out a knife and try to kill someone with it. *Yeah, I know, I know. Just humor me here.
Now where could blacks have learned this impossible to believe in Myth Of Innocence which says, in so many words, We never do anything wrong. Things are done to us.
When people live out of this myth they’re incapable of change. So no wonder they do the same things over and over again. Of course, the people they learned this little skill set from are streaks ahead of blacks at concealing their crimes, since they’ve been at it for a whole lot longer.
Right up until the moment she pulled out her knife and tried to kill someone with it.
Ignoble, Insufferable, and Mentally Deranged. I’m so sick of them, their enablers, and their moral imbecility.
They don't see a difference between using force in self defense of a present threat and getting in licks after there is no present threat because the girl in pink pulled her hair two minutes ago* but has since retreated with her small dog.
I think the idea from the Bryant family side is that the police were supposed to let Bryant get even and then figure out how to deal with what ensued from there. After all, the police weren't there when someone hit Bryant, so it's just not fair.
* I don't know that the girl in pink did anything at all besides almost getting split open, I'm just extrapolating from the community chatter about why the police were called.

The rabid insanity of this “young lady” is right there on video for all the world to see, but they will refuse to see it. It’s difficult to even grasp what the hell was going on without either watching it ten times or slowing it down dramatically, but they will continue to insist that Officer Reardon should have tried to use “de-escalation” tactics in the fraction of a second he had to make a choice how to address the deadly threat posed by a rabid female who never even acknowledge his presence.
Implication: the military is training elite killers to unleash on the streets of America.
Mundane reality: a non-career military enlistee comes home and gets a job with the local police force.
Or maybe this is just the non sequitur of the day.
“Militarization” of this or that (policing, the borders, etc.) is one of those bullshit terms that the Left likes to pull out of its ass as if it’s somehow inherently a bad thing. It’s mostly just a nonsense term.
What people are generally referring to when they say police are increasingly "militarized" is the seemingly endless tactical trend toward more and more SWAT-style policing, injection of military-grade equipment into police operations generally, posting of "counterterrorism" police with automatic rifles in front of (for example, close to where I live) the Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc. etc. This is a very real phenomenon, and I don't like it.
Having an expert marksman on the force who's a veteran is not what people generally mean by "militarization"...and judging from this guy's astonishing performance, I'd like more of it, please.
And journalists wonder why average Americans don’t really care about bad things happening to journalists.
President-Legit Joe Biden would like to add that the cop just should have shot the knife out of her hand. Problem solved.
Hope! Unity! Decency! Truth!
Or he should have used some magical words (“de-escalation”) which would have automatically defused the situation.
President Biden saw something similar on Netflix, so it must be easy.
Ghetto lottery comes to mind. George Floyd scored a $26,000,000 payout for his family. Though their attorney Benjamin Crumb will get 30% of this. This kind of money scoring news travels like wild fire through black communities, to inspire aspiring imitators. Faster than rumors of Covid vaccinations making black men sterile.
Assured that Ma’Khia Bryant’s family has Crumb on their phones as of yesterday. Within an hour of her lead poisoning.

‘Girl in the Pink’ Has Some Important Things to Say About Columbus Police Shooting
There is a black perspective on all this which implicitly recognizes Sailer’s Law. Namely that typically, blacks use lethal weapons in a non lethal manner. After all, this girl had been running amok without managing to stab anyone. And least least some of the people were just hanging around to witness the spectacle. It was a code 2 disturbance after all.
So the notion that police quickly take a few center of mass shots immediately seems excessive. So the cops show up and go medieval on a kid. The fact that the girl in pink may have been attractive shouldn’t influence you.
Only in white logic was this guy a hero. Just sayin.
For example, someone posted video the other day of a brawl in a restaurant with a dozen or so Blacks just whaling on each other. One of the male Blacks repeatedly punched a female Black in the head and then appeared to shove her, head first, into a metal wall post. But when all was said and done everybody appeared to get up and walk away (yelling and shoving of course). This often appears to be the outcome of such brawls. Are Blacks less susceptible to head trauma than other races?
Murdered, btw, not just 'shot'..
But was she 'bubbly'??Replies: @anon
We celebrate the life and death of Ashlee Babbit. She sacrificed her life for all of us. When I think of Ashlee Babbitt I am not sad, I am grateful and inspired.
All blacks have to do is stop calling the police. And all the police have to do is quit showing up when blacks DO call the police. I mean, show up, tag and bag the dead contestants, hose off the street after the stiffs leave the scene, but slow-roll the hell out of every call that indicates it’s happening now, be it shooting, stabbing, or even arguments.
By the way, since White cops are bad, why not just send only black cops?
Blacks learn a fancy white word like “deescalation,” and they enjoy tossing it around like theyre saying something intelligent.
But it seems pretty stupid.
The cop,coming upon this enraged girl,with a knife,is supposd to deescalate her. Thats all there is to it!
You didnt deescalate,dummy! If you’d have descalated her,everything would be fine!
Btw,people my age know that word very well. They were constantly using it during the Viet Nam War.
“We’re deescalating! The deescalation is coming right along! Deescalation this deescalation that!”
It didnt work out back then,either.

You missed a subtext here. In your above Red State link is the tweeted out video. Girl in the pink suit speaks with a Jamaican accent as does the man (TV?) talking, attempting to interview Pink. This looks to me that this was black inter-tribal warfare. That Jamaican derived Pink was attacked by a slave heritage American Heffalump black girl. Plus Poor Pink got a quickly head stomping by the same, an American black man. My bet is on Caribbean Pink looking more lovely than our ex-knife wielder. Perhaps a knifey girl fight over a boyfriend?

Even way back in 1982 I heard a complaint from an American black that Haitian arrivals were pushing them out of one public housing project. He said that his project is all Haitian now. (Surely to not take literally) I am pretty sure that refugees get put the top of such public housing waiting lists. Perhaps mere Haitian immigrants too in that Northern city and state. So there will be fights, knife fights, assaults and animosity over getting these treasured public housing slots.
Just about all Somalis are refugees, so there is bound to be hatred and animosity w American blacks, over who gets awarded the slots in Columbus Ohio public housing. Over who gets the Section 8s.
Well this ruins my goto comment on book reviews “I liked the part where Coach Reardon had to spank all the cheerleaders”.
How do you read from “those who do MP work get extra handgun training” “just MPs got pistol training”? I never wrote such a thing.
Well, in this instance “militarization” as deployed is certainly 100% bullshit–meant to confuse by shifting the word’s meaning away from what it typically has been in this context.

Odds are this officer is Somali. After watching the video a few times it seems to me that the girl in pink is a born here Somali. She has a slight foreign accent and makes the hand gestures that are not American black. The way she waves her hand quickly to refute something to the officer. My distillation is Somali derived Pink girl gets attacked by two real (slave ancestors) American blacks. The hefty former knife wielder (deceased) and her male head stomper confederate who needs to be arrested. And will be.

It isn’t that “white logic” makes him a hero, it’s that blacks are so used to violence, they don’t perceive threat the same way. However, numerous videos of fatal shootings and stabbings in which blacks don’t react as though a threat is real and then get killed or barely avoid death while the next person is killed suggest that they don’t have a more accurate threat-detector in these situations, they just have a turned-down threat detector. The fact that the violence they experience often doesn’t turn fatal is an accident, not a result of better tuning. There is maybe some IQ component here?

Cops if they want to can do all sorts of stuff, and that's just covering the things they purposely looked the other way on.Replies: @Hibernian, @Anonymous

Full-scale scanning and recording of the destination and sender’s addresses of all mail items has been in effect since before 9/11/2001. Run over many years and backed with sophisticated iterative computer analysis, harvesting addresses allows the Deep State to construct an accurate map of ALL social and business relationships, complementing similar efforts based on emails, phone calls, vehicle license plate readers, airline and Amtrak tracking, financial transactions, etc.
USPS also has the ability to image and analyze the contents of envelopes/packages. Content searches have been common practice in selected cases since at least Woodrow Wilson’s WW I, likely much earlier. It is not clear to what extent content scanning is practiced on regular mail items at present. A major slow-down in the processing of international mail starting in early 2020 suggests that extensive additional snooping was instituted at that time under the cover of the COVID panic.
PANOPTICON is now.
What was your authorized sidearm? I want to know how old you are. 😉
I hope so. They aren’t going to stop this kind of dangerous and irresponsible antics unless they get hit with a costly judgment (or at least a settlement).
Do you smell payola?
I love how you ask for the authorized sidearm; that was a 38 in the early days.
Right. This is the kind of thing where making the loser pay the winner’s legal fees would help (though that compounds the injustice when it happens). Or even better, make the loser’s lawyer (e.g. Crump) liable if the loser is unable to pay.
One of my closest friends went inactive as an Air Force Lt Col after Desert Storm. His first sidearm was a S&W M15. But when he deployed for Desert Shield, they gave him a Beretta M9 – with no magazine and no ammo.
M9 came mid to late ‘80s, some with “Hush Puppy” silencers.
The Jamaican barber at Guantanomo Naval Base years ago was one Edward Bygreaves. The name could have belonged to a British historian.Replies: @Clyde
In the Kingston, Jamaica phone book the names are proper English names. At a higher percentage than in today’s London phone book. Barbados should be higher than Jamaica.
Did you know that the Air Force still has revolvers in the inventory and only now is disposing of them since there will be a large infusion of Sig M18’s?
I agree.

Would you mind spelling out the thinking behind your belief? I am in an environment where people would look at me like I was crazy if I were to express any doubts about the charges against him and the verdict. But my intuition is suggesting to me things may not be as painted and even that he may be innocent. It would be helpful to see the argument and maybe use it if it is convincing.
