‘Biden Is An Idiot’ - Ex kop Blasts Democrats For ‘Riding The Wave Of Dead Black People’
[ZeroHedge] Former Arizona police officer-turned conservative political commentator Brandon Tatum unloaded on President Biden and the press for politicizing the Derek Chauvin trial, and insists that so-called 'systemic racism' is simply manufactured by politicians and the media to earn votes and make money.

"I think we're living in the twilight zone," Tatum said of the Chauvin trial. "This conviction, in my personal opinion, did nothing for our country. People are living a lie. I mean this is one police officer, one person in the community, they found him guilty, this was the swiftest justice I've ever seen in my life. The day after the film came out he was arrested. He was tried. 10 hours of deliberation, he was convicted. I'm not really sure why people are acting like this is monumental.

"Also, he did not get a fair trial in my personal opinion. There was a lot of obstruction that happened. They paid the family out $27 million before the jury could be selected. I mean, they're going to have a case in appeal. I don't know why people are celebrating and I don't know why this is such a big focal point other than - people are making money off of the pain of people in our country."

The BBC host then asked Tatum if he was upset over this "landmark" case?

"This is not a landmark case, this is a political agenda," Tatum shot back. They're pushing laws in our country. Policing in America is not inherently racist. We don't live in a racist country. This was an interaction between a police officer that I thought did the wrong thing, and a black man who was on drugs high, resisting arrest, and ended up being killed by that police officer. That's as simple as it can be. The President of the United States got out and made a fool of himself trying to promote racism in a simple police encounter that the officer got convicted on.

"So you reject President Biden's comment about systemic racism and it being a stain on the whole nation?" the host replied.

"Yes, President Biden is an idiot in my personal opinion, and he's just talkin' because he's a politician. Systemic racism - I mean if you look at Joe Biden himself, he spoke at a Klu Klux Klan-member's funeral and did the eulogy of Robert Byrd ... We don't have a problem with racism in our country, we have a problem with people not following the law. We also have a problem with politicians making up things so they can get re-elected. And that's exactly what has been happening. That's why you never see anything change. They're lying to us.

The host then tried using woke racial statistics, arguing: "So the rate of people being killed by police - the rate is higher amongst black people than amongst the rest of the population. How do you account for that if that isn't a systemic racism problem?"

Tatum shut that down with force, replying: "First of all that's not true, twice as many white people are killed by police every year. Twice as many white people are killed unarmed by police every year - you just don't see it. There's a gentleman named Tony Timpa. I bet nobody has any idea who Tony Timpa is. Tony Timpa was murdered in the same fashion as George Floyd was killed, but because he was white, we don't hear about it and nobody cares about it. Nobody's talking about police reform when he was suffocated and killed. But they only talk about it because George Floyd is black.

"Black people commit over half of violent crimes in this country, and only make up 13 percent of the population. They commit over half of the murders in this country, but only make up 13 percent of the population - and we can agree that 13 percent of the population aren't the criminals. There's only a small fraction of the black community that's doing this. So that explains why police are in the black communities more, and that explains why black people are incarcerated more. They are making up lies saying that it has anything to do with racism.

"Do you understand that there's black police officers too that patrol many of these majority-black cities? Are they racist? No, that's not the case. They're just making things up in my personal opinion, and they're riding a wave of dead black people in order to make money and get political leverage."

#1 They're just making things up in my personal opinion, and they're riding a wave of dead black people in order to make money and get political leverage.

The money quote.

In short they are Democrats. Riding the wave of blacks just like they did in the old south with their slaves.

#3 The absurd thing is that these cities - every single one - are run and have been run by left-wing Democrats FOR OVER 40 YEARS. They've had integrated police forces - many of which are majority-black - for over 40 years. Black police chiefs in most cases.

Look in the mirror, you lying SOBs

#4  The New Antiracism Is the Old Racism.

Juror in Chauvin trial admits the truth.

Truth often becomes the first casualty of "wokeness" and leftwing dogma.

#5 IF we want to end the school to prison pipeline perhaps we need to look back at how they handled things long ago when they'd put delinquents into the military or a chain gang. I suggest a combination of the two to remove the brutality and death but get a similar effect.

Set up a Peace Corps type organization that has basic training as tough as the military and make some thugs work in third world nations. Until they realize what the world is like, or learn discipline, pride, and a work ethic.

#7 the institutions in America are so rayciss that Joe Biden has been in office of some form or another for over 40 years and he hasn't done anything about it.
