You’d think that any elected official, regardless of beliefs, would be able to agree that burning down buildings and attacking police officers is unacceptable in any civilized society.
But the America that the Democrats are striving for is clearly far from civilized.
Following yet another night of violent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Wisconsin State Rep. Greta Neubauer (D) declared she would be “joining people in the streets” to protest, Breitbart reports.
Naturally, this was accompanied by the obligatory virtue-signaling about the statistically mythical yet ubiquitously cited systemic racism in policing (if the name wasn’t a dead giveaway, yes, Neubauer is a white woman).
“I am horrified, sickened and angry over the police shooting of Jacob Blake last night,” the lawmaker, who represents the city of Racine, said. She called for “deep and systemic change” to address “continued police violence against Black people” a “symptom of the systemic racism and white supremacy deeply embedded in our country’s past and present.”
“I support the right to protest in Kenosha and I will be joining people in the streets,” she continued. “Today and in the days to come, my thoughts are with Jacob, his family, and his community, and I am sending them strength in this time. Black Lives Matter”:
I am horrified, sickened and angry over the police shooting of Jacob Blake last night.
It is long past time for deep and systemic change. Change in how we police, how we prosecute and how we incarcerate. But also change in how we invest in and strengthen our communities.

So, hold up.
Let’s not let this kind of language become normalized in our political discourse.
This really shouldn’t even need to be said, but, as we say every single time this happens, not all the facts of the case have come in.
As Breitbart explains:
The Democrat representative’s vow to join activists in the streets follows an eruption of chaos in Kenosha, sparked by the police-involved shooting of whom Gov. Tony Evers (D) identified as Jacob Blake. Police were reportedly responding to a domestic incident. Video shows Blake walking away from officers, who had their guns drawn. Blake opened the door of a vehicle and leaned inside, and shots were fired. He remained in serious condition as of Monday afternoon. Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is investigating the shooting incident.
“Until that investigation is completed, we ask that you withhold prejudgment about the incident and please the let process take place,” Pete Deates, president of the Kenosha Professional Police Association, said in a statement.
He also called Evers’ statement “wholly irresponsible and not reflective of the hardworking members of the law enforcement community, not to mention the citizens of the City of Kenosha.”
“As always, the video currently circulating does not capture all the intricacies of a highly dynamic incident. We ask that you withhold from passing judgement [sic] until all the facts are known and released,” he pleaded.
“We, along with the citizens of the great City of Kenosha, ask for peace and to let the process play out fairly and impartially,” Deates added.
Yup. We’re doing this all over again.
Not only is it highly dishonest to baselessly accuse the officers involved of wrongful shooting, this Democrat lawmaker has jumped all the way to “this is clearly evidence of a systemically racist system and we need to radically change said system.”
As they always do.
How has it gotten to the point that every single time a young black man is subject to the use of lethal force we completely ignore whether or not lethal force was even justified?!
Are we not to use lethal force against any individual who poses a potentially deadly threat to officers of the peace or members of their own community?
Do we really need to keep doing this?
The left couldn’t possibly care less as black lives are lost every day on the streets of Chicago or New York City, where leaders take their rightful seat upon pedestals of “anti-racist” policies as they fight to defund the very police departments struggling to address rising homicide rates that are killing black children.
That’s not even the sickest part.
The Democrats, like Neubauer, then happily join arms with the radical, violent protesters who are literally smashing windows and burning down buildings in the black community!
Do the Democrats honestly think that black Americans are two stupid not to notice what brazen hypocrites and frauds they all are?
Apparently so.
