The media lie about systemic police racism. The White House, the media, and LeBron James target a police officer for shooting a black teenager who is trying to stab another black teenager. And the Biden administration cracks down on police departments. Ben Shapiro explains why all of America is guilty of racism, and why the entire system is guilty. Ben Shapiro: Is justice in America headed to jail, or is it going to take place where we live in a world where we no longer live in fear of police officers who kill black men because they are black?

00:00:00.000The media lie about systemic police racism.
00:00:02.000The White House, the media, and LeBron James target a police officer for shooting a black teenager who is trying to stab another black teenager.
00:00:09.000And the Biden administration cracks down on police departments.
00:00:37.000And every incident of police violence in America that involves a white police officer and a black suspect, any incident that goes wrong, or even in which the police do their duty, All of those incidents are just emblematic of systemic police racism.
00:00:50.000This is a point that I made with regard to the Derek Chauvin trial.
00:00:53.000Whatever you think about Chauvin, whether you think that he was guilty of second and third degree murder and manslaughter, which is sort of odd since second and third degree murder have different elements, but even if you believe that he was guilty of all of the elements of all of those murders, In all of those charges, even if you believe all of that, there was one charge that Derek Chauvin was convicted of, and the entire system was convicted of, and that was systemic American racism.
00:01:12.000And the argument was entirely circular.
00:01:14.000Derek Chauvin, there was no evidence shown that he killed George Floyd because George Floyd was black.
00:01:49.000Derek Chauvin is systemically racist because the system is systemically racist, which is systemically racist because Derek Chauvin is systemically racist.
00:01:56.000At no point do you actually have to show racism anywhere in here.
00:01:59.000And that's why the Derek Chauvin story was a national story, of course.
00:02:01.000Because otherwise, it's just a local crime story.
00:02:03.000Otherwise, it's just a story of a cop acting in a brutal way.
00:02:08.000But the idea from the entire media, from the White House, where the president and co-president spoke the other day, The entire story from the left in this country is that every police department is built along the lines of Derek Chauvin.
00:02:23.000Systemic racism isn't just part of our policing, it's part of our entire way of life.
00:02:26.000And this is how you have CBS News featuring the racial grifter, Ibram X. Kendi.
00:02:31.000Talking about how the Derek Chauvin trial is just indicative of how deeply racist America is.
00:02:38.000And he says that it's not just Derek Chauvin who was on trial, it was all of America that was on trial.
00:02:42.000I can guarantee you that the vast majority of police officers in America are not engaging in the sort of activity in which Derek Chauvin was allegedly engaging.
00:02:53.000But everyone is guilty, and that's the entire argument.
00:02:56.000The entire argument is that all of America is guilty.
00:02:58.000Now, the fact that Ibram X. Kendi is being featured on national news is in and of itself insane, considering that Ibram X. Kendi is an actual tyrant.
00:03:04.000He has suggested that there be a federal department of anti-racism, an unelected body of people who are capable of striking down any law or regulation, federal, state, or local, that ends with inequality of outcome, which is just fascism.
00:03:20.000Hey, but Ibram X. Kendi is considered an expert on race for the great reason that he parrots in worse writing the ideas of Derrick Bell and Richard Delgado about critical race theory.
00:03:30.000And now he is considered a great thought leader.
00:03:32.000Jack Dorsey donated $10 million to his Center for Anti-Racism, which to date has produced no serious research.
00:03:38.000So here's Ibram X. Kendi being featured on CBS News and explaining why the Derek Chauvin trial is really about systemic police racism and truly about systemic American racism more broadly.
00:03:48.000Chauvin is headed to jail, but is America headed to justice?
00:03:53.000Is justice convicting a police officer, or is justice convicting America?
00:04:00.000When tens of millions of Americans after Floyd's murder last year took to the streets of nearly every American town, We were convicting America.
00:04:10.000Justice is opening the door to an anti-racist future where American fear is endangered, where I no longer live in fear, where Americans no longer live in fear of me.
00:04:54.000And then he uses that, under the guise of quote-unquote anti-racism, in order to push forward these bizarre ideas of equity that involve serious discrimination on the basis of race.
00:05:03.000Of course, the Biden administration has embraced this wholesale.
00:05:05.000We know that the Biden administration is attempting to teach Ibram X. Kendi-type anti-racist crap in the public schools now.
00:05:12.000According to National Review, President Biden's Department of Education has signaled its intent to impose the most radical forms of critical race theory on America's schools, very much including the 1619 Project and the so-called anti-racism of Ibram X. Kendi.
00:05:24.000Biden is obviously co-opting conservatives' interest in reviving traditional U.S.
00:05:27.000history and civics to deliver its perfect opposite.
00:05:29.000This is according to Stanley Kurtz writing for National Review.
00:05:32.000Biden's Department of Education has just released the text of a proposed new rule establishing priorities for grants in American history and civics education programs.
00:05:40.000That rule gives priority to grant projects that incorporate racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse perspectives.
00:05:46.000The rule goes on to cite and praise the 1619 Project as well as Kendi.
00:05:50.000As leading examples of the sorts of ideas the Biden administration wants to spread.
00:05:54.000Now, there are predictable effects of the critical race theory ideas that are now being fostered in America's public schools, that are being pushed by the media, and making heroes of people and prophets of people like Ibram X. Kendi.
00:06:05.000And the predictable result is a worse way of life for hundreds of millions of Americans.
00:06:10.000It is fostering lies about the nature of what America is.
00:06:14.000It is fostering lies about the nature of America's police.
00:06:17.000In a second, we're going to go through some of the details about policing in the United States and the argument that America's police are systemically racist.
00:07:33.000When it comes to insurance, it's nice and quite important to get it right.
00:07:36.000Okay, so let's go through some of the facts about policing in the United States of America.
00:07:40.000There are literally tens and tens and tens of millions of encounters between the police and civilians every year in the United States.
00:07:46.000And there has yet to be solid evidence that the police are seeking out black men to harm black men.
00:07:51.000There was just a report that came out from the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2020.
00:07:55.000It found, quote, See, one of the things that you'll see very often in the media is they'll say, look how many more black people than white people are arrested.
00:07:59.000to commit serious violent crimes and how likely they were to be arrested. In other words, the data suggested that police officers and sheriff's deputies focus on criminals' actions, not their race. See, one of the things that you'll see very often in the media is they'll say, look how many more black people than white people are arrested. Well, that makes sense if more black people than white people per capita are committing crimes.
00:08:19.000To present those statistics without any underlying information about the reports that are being made about criminal activity is absolutely ridiculous.
00:08:27.000It's like saying, the NBA is unbelievably racist.
00:08:30.000And you're like, no, that's just the number of people per capita who are really good at basketball.
00:08:35.000To say that the racial statistics with regard to crime are irrelevant to the racial statistics with regard to arrest is to be a fool.
00:08:44.000You're leaving out the chief confound, which is the underlying activity.
00:08:46.000In other words, if 60% of reports of a particular crime are about black people and 60% of the arrests are of black people, that's not the fault of the cops.
00:08:55.000If 10% of the reports are about black people and 60% of the arrests are of black people, then it starts to look a lot like systemic racism, obviously.
00:09:03.000Heather McDonald reported just a couple of years ago, in 2019, police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous.
00:09:11.000African Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops, a ratio that has remained stable since 2015.
00:09:15.000That share of Black victims is less than what the Black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects.
00:09:24.000In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the United States and committed about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.
00:09:34.000It is true that police officers are 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by the police.
00:09:41.000In August 2019, the National Academy of Sciences published research showing there was, quote, no significant evidence of anti-Black disparity in the likelihood of being fatally shot by police.
00:09:51.000And then as soon as Heather McDonald cited that stat, the National Academy of Sciences tried to pull down the actual study.
00:09:56.000There's a widely publicized study in July of 2016 from Roland Fryer of Harvard University, surveying over a thousand police shootings, finding that black suspects are shot less often than white suspects in comparable situations.
00:10:06.000A deadly force lab study from Washington State University found that the participants were biased in favor of black suspects in simulated threat scenarios.
00:10:14.000In 2015, the DOJ analyzed the Philadelphia Police Department, found that white officers were actually less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects.
00:10:24.000So in other words, this notion that the police are run through with white supremacy is a lie.
00:10:30.000But because that lie is so common, because it is so crucial to the systemic racism argument, which requires no evidence of actual systemic racism, it just requires that you not understand the phrase.
00:11:12.000No, I'm not denying that racism exists.
00:11:13.000Only a fool would deny that racism exists.
00:11:15.000I am denying that the police pursue procedures that are designed to harm black people more than they are designed to harm white people or Mexican people or people of any other ethnicity.
00:11:25.000In any case, all of this ties together in the generalized leftist belief that the police are bad.
00:11:32.000Black Lives Matter is not about black lives.
00:11:47.000So, today's big cop shooting story is a cop shooting story out of Columbus, Ohio.
00:11:53.000The headline from the Washington Post.
00:11:55.000Fatal police shooting of black teenager in Columbus sparks a new outcry.
00:11:59.000Now from that headline, you'd imagine there's a black teenager who's walking along the street and a Columbus police officer decided just to gun down that black teenager, right?
00:12:08.000Fatal police shooting of black teenager in Columbus sparks a new outcry.
00:12:14.000Body camera footage from a Columbus police officer's fatal shooting of a black teenager sparked outcry and protest from local activists, national leaders, and even the White House on Wednesday, as it became the latest in a string of deadly videos documenting the final moments of a person of color killed by law enforcement.
00:12:27.000Okay, now, as we were about to find out, that is missing, you know, the fact pattern.
00:12:32.000It's missing the actual facts, because nobody in the media gives a bleep about the facts.
00:12:48.000If a black person kills another black person, they do not care.
00:12:52.000In fact, it's not just that they don't care.
00:12:54.000They're okay with that, so long as it means there are fewer police officers on the streets.
00:12:58.000If there are fewer police officers on the streets, and more black people get murdered, this is what they are stumping for.
00:13:03.000This is what they are actively rooting for, apparently.
00:13:07.000Because here's what actually happened in this story.
00:13:11.000Again, watch how far you have to go into this Washington Post piece before you actually get the fact pattern.
00:13:15.000Paragraph one was all about the evils of this Columbus police officer condemned by national leaders and local activists in the White House.
00:13:31.000Comes as the nation is undergoing a broad reckoning over police brutality and racism.
00:13:35.000Her name joins a long and growing list of black people killed by police officers in deadly interactions that have sparked protests and broad calls for justice.
00:14:16.000First, let's talk about a simple fact.
00:14:17.000You want to feel safe and secure at your house.
00:14:19.000You want to make sure that your family feels safe and secure at your house.
00:14:22.000You want to make sure that, you know, whether somebody's dropping off groceries or you just have a friend stopping by, whether you have lots of kids like I do running around the property, you have an eye on them at all times.
00:15:28.000In a sign of how effective those protests have been in drawing attention to the issue of police violence, the details of the shooting were swiftly briefed to President Biden, whose administration has pledged to address systemic racism and overhaul policing.
00:15:50.000As SACI was drawing a connection between Brian's killing and the broader trend of disproportionate use of force against minorities by police, officials in Columbus sought to calm tensions by quickly releasing information about the incident.
00:16:03.000I wish to hell it hadn't happened, Interim Police Chief Michael Woods told reporters after releasing the footage and the 911 calls that led officers to respond.
00:16:09.000Woods said the officer has been with the department since December 2019, has been placed on administrative leave.
00:16:28.000It takes all the way until paragraph nine before you actually get to the facts of the shooting.
00:16:33.000Quote, the footage released Wednesday shows a chaotic scene.
00:16:36.000The officer identified as Reardon arrives during a physical altercation involving several people.
00:16:42.000Reardon, who is white, can be seen emerging from his vehicle as Bryant appears to chase someone who falls onto the sidewalk.
00:16:47.000The teen then turns toward someone else wearing a pink sweatsuit and takes a swing at her hand with what appears to be a blade briefly visible in her hand.
00:16:54.000The officer yells gets down multiple times before firing four shots at the girl, leaving her sprawled next to a car in the driveway.
00:17:22.000They took out the part with the knife and they took out the part from the 911 call where somebody actually reported that the girl had a knife in the first place.
00:18:12.000There are growing questions, according to Wolf Blitzer, about what just happened in Columbus.
00:18:17.000Now, it seems to me that once you know what happened, there actually should be lessening questions, should there not?
00:18:23.000There should be a decrescendo of questioning, considering that we now know that the cop shot a black girl who was attempting to stab another black girl.
00:19:05.000If the cop had shown up and shot the 13-year-old black girl who's stabbing the other girl, then it would be a national news story about systemic police racism.
00:19:12.000Here's a story that actually matters from Cincinnati, Ohio, because it turns out that the homicide statistics in black America are devastating, are crippling.
00:19:21.000The number of black Americans killed unarmed by the police every year is under 20.
00:19:26.000The number of black Americans who are killed in homicides every year is thousands upon thousands.
00:19:29.000I mean, we were talking in the year 2019 alone, about 7,500 black Americans were killed in homicides.
00:19:35.000The vast majority of those people were killed by other black people because most crime in America is intraracial.
00:19:40.000I mean, seriously, this true absurdity that we are supposed to pay attention only when a cop is involved demonstrates that this is not about saving black lives, not in the slightest.
00:20:01.000Ain't nobody going to pay attention to this because it was just a 13-year-old black girl whose life mattered also, but not to the media because it wasn't ended by a cop.
00:20:34.000Because you should be devastated by that.
00:20:36.000It turns out that Nayara Givens, which is the name of the girl who was stabbed, You should say her name much more often than you say the name of the girl who was attempting to stab another girl and got shot by the police.
00:20:45.000Nayara Givens didn't do anything, she was just stabbed to death.
00:20:47.000But you don't care about that in the media.
00:20:49.000That's not a national- that's a local crime story.
00:20:59.000Here's Wolf Blitzer talking about the growing questions in Columbus.
00:21:03.000We're also following developments in Columbus, Ohio, where there are now growing questions about the deadly police shooting of 16-year-old African-American Micaiah Bryant.
00:21:13.000Police are releasing more body camera video that appears to show Bryant wielding a knife and officers warning her several times to get down before she seems to lunge at another girl and police open fire.
00:23:15.000Whether you're a small office sending out invoices, or an online seller shipping out orders, or even a giant warehouse sending thousands of packages a day, Stamps.com can handle it all with ease.
00:23:23.000Simply use your computer to print official U.S.
00:23:25.000postage 24-7 for any letter, any package, any class email, anywhere you want to send it.
00:23:29.000Once your mail is ready, just schedule a pickup or drop it off.
00:23:54.000Okay, so the defense is from the media of Make no mistake, this is not about police officers behaving in ways that violate the law.
00:24:09.000This is not about Derek Chauvin and whether Derek Chauvin committed manslaughter or second-degree murder.
00:24:13.000This is about police officers just doing their jobs.
00:24:17.000Okay, now I'm going to show you the actual body cam footage.
00:24:19.000I think it's important that you actually see the body cam footage of what happened in this particular case.
00:24:23.000Here's the actual body cam footage of what happened in this particular case, because by all the narrative that I've given you up to this point, you would think that the cop did something wrong.
00:25:27.000In fact, the woman who didn't get stabbed, this woman who is wearing the pink bodysuit, she says later in the body cam footage, she was trying to stab me with a knife.
00:25:56.000But that woman whose life was just saved by the cop, her life apparently doesn't matter.
00:26:01.000If she'd been stabbed to death right there on the sidewalk, wouldn't matter because Makia Bryant made TikTok videos and the cop is bad because the cop is white and cops are always bad.
00:26:09.000Michael Eric Dyson of MSNBC said that, you know, the police show more discretion when it's whites wielding machetes.
00:26:15.000Again, statistically speaking, more whites than blacks are shot by the cops.
00:26:19.000And according to Professor Mostas at John Jay College.
00:26:25.000Police are more likely to shoot a white suspect who is a danger to them than a black suspect.
00:26:33.000The police will not exercise discretion, will not use a reduced sense of engagement to preserve black life.
00:26:41.000We see constantly, we see videos of white people wielding machetes, chasing police people around.
00:26:47.000A white man with a gun on his seat as the police extract their revolvers from their holsters, pointing them at him, demanding he get out and he refuses to and takes off and they don't shoot him.
00:27:22.000You want to talk about systemic racism?
00:27:24.000The systemic racism of a media that does not care if thousands of additional black people die every year because the cops aren't there to protect them against people committing criminal acts?
00:27:39.000By the way, MSNBC's Joy Reid, who is just a font of utter insanity on a constant basis, here's what she tweeted out with regard to Makia Bryant.
00:27:49.000So there's a woman named Brittany Cooper, Who said, I'm not watching that body cam footage.
00:27:53.000Always, it's amazing how many people will preface a statement that is false by saying that they won't look at the evidence that their statement is false.
00:28:00.000I'm not watching that body cam footage, but we see story after story of the cops managing to take white men who threatened them with guns, knives, and even ran their cars into police officers alive.
00:28:08.000Yet somehow, anytime they engage with black folks, it's shoot first.
00:28:12.000And Joy Reid said, this part right here.
00:28:15.000There's no statistical evidence this is the case.
00:28:18.000And you have to admire the incredible temerity of people who say, I refuse to look at the evidence, but... Okay, and then she followed that up, she said, Thanks, Professor Krunk.
00:28:40.000Well, you know, obviously, you know, whatever happened, including a person lunging another person with a knife, the cops, what are the cops supposed to do?
00:28:46.000Talk to her while she's attempting to stab somebody?
00:29:17.000What if it were a member of your family, your neighbor, in a, essentially a teenage fight, a schoolyard fight?
00:29:26.000Certainly the facts will emerge, but we are right to ask, why can't we put the accent on present life, children's lives, as opposed to simply assuming the best we can do is simply kill another child.
00:29:42.000It was just a schoolyard fight, though.
00:29:45.000It's just a schoolyard fight, you know, like a schoolyard fight, like the one in which a 13-year-old girl was killed in Cincinnati, Ohio, that you don't care about her name, Nayara Givens.
00:30:07.000Bree Newsome, who's a Black Lives Matter activist, her tweets were flying around the internet yesterday.
00:30:11.000Quote, teenagers have been having fights, including fights involving knives, for eons.
00:30:16.000We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene and using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y'all need help. I mean that seriously. I mean, hell, in Romeo and Juliet, teenagers were stabbing each other.
00:30:57.000Again, the truly systemically racist people are the people who pursue policy that is designed, designed and known to lead to more black loss of life.
00:31:05.000That would be systemic racism, is if you pursue a policy that you know indubitably will lead to more dead black people.
00:31:36.000We're thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss.
00:31:40.000And her death came, as you noted, just as America was hopeful of a step forward after the traumatic and exhausting trial of Derek Chauvin and the verdict that was reached.
00:31:49.000So our focus is on working to address systemic racism and implicit bias head-on and, of course, to passing laws and legislation that will put much-needed reforms It's unbelievable.
00:32:03.000A cop shoots a black girl to save another black girl, and the outcome is systemic racism and implicit bias.
00:32:11.000The greatest and wisest of all Americans.
00:32:13.000He's just... LeBron James is a visionary.
00:32:16.000I mean, sure, he's willing to take millions of dollars from China and allow China to basically commit whatever human rights violations they want to commit, and then he'll defend China.
00:32:24.000Sure, LeBron James doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to actual statistics with regard to policing or race in the United States.
00:32:32.000Sure, LeBron James, who is worth approximately a billion dollars, goes around talking about how he lives in existential fear of the cops, which is pretty incredible.
00:32:40.000Sure, LeBron James doesn't really know things, but here's the thing.
00:32:44.000The media have dubbed him a new wonder worker in American politics.
00:32:47.000They've dubbed him an important figure in American politics, even though he doesn't know things.
00:32:52.000When I say that LeBron James doesn't know things, I mean, it's pretty obvious he doesn't know things.
00:32:55.000I mean, just last year, he was carrying around the autobiography of Malcolm X.
00:33:00.000And he was asked specifically, what do you like about this autobiography?
00:33:27.000And basically, um, Well, it's that sort of brilliant knowledge and incredible wisdom and real insight about race in America that led LeBron James to tweet yesterday a picture of the cop in this case.
00:33:51.000The cop who just saved a black girl's life.
00:33:53.000There's a picture of the cop and it said, you're next.
00:35:40.000The circumstances of these cases do not matter.
00:35:43.000There's only one uniting thread, and that is that white America and all of its systems are racist, And that any white cop who shoots a black person, even in the course of doing his job or saving other black people, is bad.
00:35:54.000Because that, again, is indicative of how terrible the system is.
00:35:57.000We'll get to more of this in just one second, because this has some real consequences in policy.
00:36:01.000And those consequences in policy, by the way, will end with more dead black people.
00:36:05.000In a study recently done between 2014 and 2019, the Ferguson protests, the Black Lives Matter movement, has resulted in somewhere between one and six thousand more dead people, mostly black, in America's major cities.
00:36:18.000Over the course of last year, murder rate in America's major cities, 34 of America's major cities, averaged a 30% increase.
00:36:24.000In certain cities, it was up almost 100%.
00:36:26.000In just a second, we'll get to more of this, more of the left pushing the lie that the police are the bad guys here.
00:36:43.000We'll get to more of this in one second.
00:36:44.000First, let us talk about the fact that if you're on Facebook, the big breach is here.
00:36:47.000Facebook had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.
00:36:50.000According to a retired FBI cybercrime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was in fact leaked.
00:36:56.000Your name, address, personal information, it's out there.
00:36:59.000A thief can forge your signature on a quick claim deed saying you sold your home to him and then he just starts taking out credit against your home, leaving you in debt or theoretically even having you evicted.
00:37:09.000You can do it easily and quickly with Home Title Lock.
00:37:12.000Your home is certainly your most valuable asset.
00:37:14.000Nobody's going to steal your actual physical home, but they certainly can steal the title to your home and then take out debt against it.
00:37:19.000Go to HomeTitleLock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim, then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:37:25.000Again, head on over to HomeTitleLock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim, then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach again.
00:37:54.000First, as if you needed another reason to join the Daily Wire, I just want to remind you, if you're not already a member, you're missing out on Candace.

00:38:25.000So, if you need some Candace Owens in your podcast feed, look no further.
00:38:28.000Head on over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
00:39:07.000You want to talk systemic racism, you got to talk about the fact that there are so many people in positions of power on the left who do not give a damn if innocent black people die because they've decided to wreck the cops.
00:39:18.000That includes people like Benjamin Crump, who can be found at every racial conflagration in America.
00:39:22.000He tweeted out, This is what he tweeted after the Makia Bryant shooting.
00:39:26.000breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting as Columbus police killed an unarmed 15 year old black girl named Makia Bryant.
00:39:40.000Okay, one problem, she wasn't unarmed.
00:39:44.000Ben Crump says that kind of crap all the time.
00:39:46.000Every single case where Ben Crump jetsets, he completely botches the fact pattern and then the media pick up the fact pattern and they start mimicking the lying fact pattern.
00:39:53.000Valerie Jarrett, former chief of staff to Barack Obama.
00:39:56.000She tweeted out, a black teenage girl named Makia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight.
00:40:04.000Demand accountability, fight for justice.
00:40:07.000So now you don't just want cops to go to jail for using excessive force like Derek Chauvin.
00:40:13.000You want cops to go to jail for stopping the murder of another black person.
00:40:23.000Or you don't want there to be cops at all.
00:40:25.000And in fact, some people are being pretty clear about this.
00:40:27.000Hundreds of people gathered at Ohio State University They gathered outside the Ohio Union.
00:40:33.000They staged a sit-in inside the building on Wednesday to protest Ohio State's relationship with the Columbus Police following the recent Columbus Police killing of Makia Bryant.
00:40:40.000First of all, I think that the Columbus Police, if they have the option, should just tell Ohio State University, you're on your own.
00:40:50.000Organizers told the crowd the protest was for police abolition, not reform.
00:40:54.000They also called out the university for not acknowledging Tuesday's shooting and said its relationship with Columbus police makes students feel unsafe.
00:41:00.000All the students feel unsafe, do they?
00:41:02.000Imagine how unsafe they will feel when there are no cops.
00:41:05.000Because you know who's going to be the chief target of crime if you get rid of the cops at Ohio State University?
00:41:11.000All the privileged kids going to Ohio State University.
00:41:46.000Because that is, in fact, the next step, is the reflection in policy.
00:41:50.000Which is why what you are seeing right now is the Biden DOJ cracking down on the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:41:57.000So the same Minneapolis Police that just had the chief testify against an officer and had several officers testify against an officer, now the Biden Justice Department has announced an investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:42:07.000According to Annie McCarthy, Fired Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted yesterday afternoon on all three homicide counts in the racially charged George Floyd case.
00:42:16.000With the inevitability of the morning sun, Attorney General Merrick Garland, supermoderate guy, announced this morning the Justice Department is launching a pattern or practice investigation of the MPD.
00:42:25.000The pretext is that the evidence in Chauvin's case suggests the police department as a whole is riven by systemic racism.
00:42:31.000This despite the fact that some of the most compelling testimony in Chauvin's trial came from MPD officials.
00:42:38.000The Obama administration made a habit of exacerbating tensions created by police-involved incidents involving black men.
00:42:43.000Its Justice Department then exploited such controversies to carry out a federalization of local law enforcement in conformance with Obama-preferred progressive policing.
00:42:51.000The feds don't go after the locals on the individual case.
00:42:53.000There'll be no civil rights criminal prosecution of Chauvin and the other ex-cops because they don't have the actual material to do so.
00:42:58.000Instead, the DOJ uses vague standards Democrats have written into civil law amplified by the DOJ's gargantuan budget for litigating against states and municipalities to quote-unquote reform entire police departments.
00:43:10.000As Annie McCarthy wrote several years ago.
00:43:12.000The Justice Department's civil rights investigations that Eric Holder was fond of announcing are not like public trials.
00:43:17.000They occur out of the public eye, where feverish Justice Department claims are not aired and scrutinized.
00:43:22.000More significantly, they happen with the air of extortion created by the nearly $28 billion in funding Congress keeps giving justice every year, no matter how many congressional investigations it obstructs, false statements its officials make, how much it politicizes law enforcement.
00:43:35.000During the Obama administration, there were more than 20 major American cities and their police departments beholden to the Obama Justice Department.
00:43:41.000They signed consent decrees that basically allowed the feds to run the police departments to the great detriment of the citizens of these cities, who are then affected by the fact that the police couldn't actually do their job.
00:43:55.000It's been under a consent decree since the Justice Department targeted it in 2012 for a quote-unquote, pattern or practice of violations, allegedly including subjecting individuals to excessive force.
00:44:09.000Meanwhile, other cities are looking to crack down on their own police force.
00:44:13.000Apparently, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering requiring a superior's permission before you actually engage in a foot chase.
00:44:21.000So if somebody It has a gun, and they are running away from a cop.
00:44:25.000You'd have to call into your superior and ask, can I chase this person who is dangerous and carrying a gun and running around the city after having just shot at a moving car, for example.
00:44:54.000It's gonna be horrifying for the citizens who live in these cities.
00:44:58.000But if democracy is the theory, as H.L.
00:45:00.000Mencken put it, that the people deserve to get what they want, good and hard, then they're about to get it, good and hard.
00:45:07.000I don't know a single cop who's not thinking about quitting right now.
00:45:10.000Every cop I know who is on a force is attempting to get off street duty.
00:45:13.000Because why in the world would you be on street duty when you could go and save a black person's life and then be condemned in the media and consigned to the hell Of a country that turns on you and calls you emblematic of systemic racism for saving a black person's life.
00:45:30.000For volunteering to take a job in which you are in the highest crime communities to save innocent black people.
00:45:35.000You are now called a member of a systemically racist system.
00:45:41.000You're about to see an explosion of crime.
00:45:43.000And the consequences are not going to be, as I keep saying over and over, they won't be held by Ben Crump.
00:45:47.000The consequences are not going to be held by Al Sharpton.
00:45:50.000The consequences are never going to fall upon Wolf Blitzer at CNN or Jason Johnson over at MSNBC or Jonathan Capehart at the Washington Post.
00:45:56.000Those consequences won't be felt by those people.
00:45:59.000The consequences are going to be felt by people who live in high crime areas, who just want to live their lives, who just want to run their business, who do live in everyday fear of criminality.
00:46:08.000Those people are the ones who pay the price.
00:46:09.000Because maybe the most robust finding in social science, when you get rid of the cops, people die.
00:46:15.000Congressional Republicans right now, they should be pushing a bill to the floor right now for increased funding for the cops all over the country.
00:46:24.000Because Democrats are certainly pursuing the opposite.
00:46:27.000All right, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content coming up soon.
00:46:30.000The Matt Walsh Show airing at 1.30 p.m.
