Paul Mirengoff this afternoon conflates the Democrats’ (and all decent humans’) argument… with anarchy. Intentionally, too.
He’s right — insofar as the choice is not between one kind of lawlessness, or another. And it should not be. But being in the US without papers is… that’s right: a misdemeanor. A traffic ticket. That’s what Congress decided. [Trump cannot change that, alone. And Mirengoff knows that he wouldn’t — and shouldn’t — be shot dead, for protesting a traffic stop — peacefully. That’s what happened here.]
So, what we (all decent people) might all agree on is that after the deaths in Chicago, and the beatings in LA and now a murder in Minneapolis (in each case, when Greg Bovino was the agent in charge, on the scene)… some men are not at all fit, for law enforcement of any kind. Bovino’s been found to be a serial liar under oath to USDC Judge Ellis in Chicago, and he personally brutalized people for simply protesting his lawlessness. Over and over. After being ordered NOT to use tear gas, he personally did so, without provocation (on video!) in Little Village.
So, the position of US decent people is… he needs to be stripped of authority and jailed.
Just like (get this, Paul!) Derek Chauvin. Ring a bell? No one said law enforcement should end after Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd. We all said… Chauvin and bad cops like him should be charged with murder. Then… let a local jury decide.
Same here, buddy. And… dammit — stop being so openly dishonest, in your rhetoric, Paul.
Here’s that, in context, from Paul:
…[R]egardless of how one views this particular case — even if the shooting was not an act of self-defense — it does not follow from the tragic outcome that ICE should stop its aggressive efforts to round up and deport illegal immigrants….
But it does follow that we should not let murderers serve in any role in law enforcement — as cops — or ICE Commanders, regardless of how we view people without papers. 99.999% of these folks without papers… are not remotely dangerous. And they love their kids no less than Paul does. They are not the enemy — people like Noem, Miller, Rubio and Tangerine 2.0 are. And Paul knows it.
Idiot. Malignant idiocy.
Out.
