Blue Magazine Stands with Michelle Malkin
/Blue Magazine Stands with Michelle Malkin
We are stunned that we even have to defend Michelle Malkin, whose steadfast support of law enforcement for decades is impeccable. Malkin has had our backs when many sellouts abandoned us, and yet we turn our backs on her?
Therefore we must ask cops everywhere: Have you had enough yet?
Are you tired of seeing all the violence—the nonstop assaults, the crazed people beating the hell of each other while the person filming stands idle and ironically calls you (the police) for help? Yeah, you who they want defunded and off the streets. You, whose blood is spilling on the pavement and you whose bones are being broken from the many bludgeoning attacks simply for the uniform you wear. Are you tired of being scapegoated for political objectives?
This year, 140 of your fellow officers have already died in the line of duty, 29 from being shot by violent criminals. Does it sicken you that these heroes have parents, spouses, and children who are devastated and struggling to pick up the pieces, and many people don't care? Think of the pain of a child looking at a photo of their dead parent in uniform, tears streaming down their cheeks as they envision how their parent’s frantic last moments of life were consumed with pain and suffering. Recall the last words of Toledo Police Officer Anthony Dia, who managed to radio his dispatch, “One-eighteen … Tell my family I love them,” before ultimately succumbing to a gunshot wound to the chest on July 4th. We are being beaten and slaughtered to a point it's apparently become part of the job—what we signed up for. Do you find this nauseating? If this doesn't concern you, what will?
Are you tired of witnessing anarchy and lawlessness? Are you tired of seeing businesses broken into and set on fire by criminals who believe they are rightfully owed the proprietor’s property and that burning the company to the ground is the right thing to do? Are you tired of seeing elderly grandmothers and grandfathers being punched out, knocked to the ground and beaten by savages who were raised to justify hurting someone who cannot defend themself is acceptable? Are you tired of hearing your loved ones tell you they are scared to go into the cities because they may be beaten to death, and nobody will care? Are you sickened by seeing miscreants burning our flag, hating our country and urinating on venerated objects like the face of Jesus Christ?
Are you tired of witnessing failed political leaders like major city mayors who stand by while providing cover for the criminals, claiming they are good-hearted people protesting? Are you angered watching your fellow brothers and sisters in Blue kiss the asses of these politicians who hate us?
Are you sick of watching your coward police leaders kneel and pander to the politicians who could care less if one us choked on our own blood on the same streets they supposedly lead? Are you exhausted from watching your police leaders' utter fear to stand up for their men and women? Are you disgusted by your police precincts being overrun by criminals while your bosses order you to retreat and don’t have the courage to stand up to the political leaders? Are you sick of police leaders abandoning the rule of law and justice to placate the abhorrent desires of the same politicians who smile when cops die?
Are you concerned that crime is skyrocketing, and victims are piling up while the criminals are treated as victims themselves? Are you worried that your freedoms are being stolen from you right in front of your face?
Well, guess what? There are people out there like Michelle Malkin, who feel the same way you do. Malkin and her friends defended us at a recent Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in Denver, taking a chance with their lives. And for what? Only to be sold out and abandoned by cops who stood by while cop-haters attacked them.
“So the message is loud and clear,” Malkin wrote. “When push comes to bloody shove in end-stage America, under the rule of the anarcho-tyrants, we, the law-abiding, are the enemy. Those in uniform sworn to protect and serve will turn their backs on us because their bosses don't answer to the public. They protect and serve the mob.”
If it doesn’t bother you that we are losing the faith of the people who support us, it’s clear where we as a profession are headed, and the only people we can blame are ourselves.
It’s time to take back our profession. It's time to stop being cowards pandering to people who’d rather see us dead. It’s time we demand our police leaders defend us. And if they continue to abandon us, we must unite against them. And it’s time we stand united with the people who support us.
Don't lose faith, Michelle. There are tons of us out here who thank and appreciate everything you do to support us. We are proud with our partners Brothers Before Others and Moment of Silence to have awarded you our 2019 Woman of the Year! We stand with Michelle Malkin.
