I write to note that Mirengoff is now clutching his pearls over the fact that a local law enforcement officer signed some police academy graduates’ certificates — with HIS OWN signature — a series of Chinese chops. That is, in fact, his signature, Paul.
Here in Chicago, we have entire Fire Stations (and Police Precinct houses — staffed by Whyte, Black and Asian-American men and women firefighters and officers!) where almost all the external signage — and all pump trucks and ambulances bear Chinese language chops. Yes, it is located in Chinatown, on Cermak… and I love the rich culture it reflects, and the comfort I imagine it must give — to newly arrived (from Taiwan and China) immigrants, residing there — as well as some now old and gray long time city dwellers. [They must know this is a sign that America isn’t like Xi’s China — where only loyal party higher echelon dignitaries will see fast, first rate services.]
But then, the real reason I write — is to call out Paul. Call him out on an even worse piece of odious racism.
He closes by making an entirely illogical leap, to suggest that — because the certificates were signed in a Chinese chop fashion — the training must have been sub-par.
This is the same as Candace Owens and Bitsy saying they don’t want to fly any commercial plane if either sees a Black female pilot in the right hand seat. Damn, Paul — and damn, Candace. And damn, Bitsy. Here is Paul’s in context:
…In the end, I doubt much will be lost if Herndon officers remain barred from being trained by the county academy under Wilson Lee. In all likelihood, the training is less about effective, crime-preventing policing and more about indoctrination in left-wing policing themes….
There is simply no evidence here — other than, of course, Paulie’s prejudice — in copious evidence.
Damn. Out.
