CNN’s Van “Whitelash” Jones: Police Are Dumb And Dangerous And Discriminatory

Cleary this racist ass clown is a part of the problem, not the solution.

The political left has once again seized on the police shooting of a young black man to push for sweeping changes to policing in America that will embolden criminals and put the safety of citizens at risk.

This time it was the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright who was shot in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on Sunday, mere miles away from there the George Floyd murder trial is being conducted in a city that is prepared for another eruption of rioting, looting, and violence regardless of what verdict that the jury delivers.

Social media influencers quickly spread the narrative that Wright was gunned down after being pulled over for an air freshener but when police released bodycam footage, the reality that it was a tragic mistake when a female cop mistakenly grabbed her gun instead of the Taser did little to temper the rush to judgment and demands to “reform” the police.

One of those who had harsh words for the nation’s police was CNN’s Van Jones who showed up on the network’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” on Tuesday to rail against law enforcement which he painted with a broad brush as ‘dumb and dangerous and discriminatory’ as he appeared to suggest that it was time to disarm the cops.

According to Jones “The reason those young people are out there and folks are out there tonight is because people are losing faith in the system. The reason that young man —people say, why didn’t he do what he was told? Please understand there are two different Americas here. If when you see a police officer, you see the badge and not all those weapons, you are in one part of America.”

He then tried to blame police disrespect of blacks; “If when you see a police officer, you see all those weapons and don’t see the badge, it’s because your experience has been they don’t come at you with respect. They don’t come at you with trust. They come at you with force. When people see somebody coming at them armed who has never treated you with respect, you can panic.” Said Jones.

He continued; “The deeper problem is that the policing methodology that we have in the country right now is both dumb and dangerous and discriminatory. It is dumb to have all of these cops out here with all of these weapons, tasers and pepper spray and batons and guns and dogs and drones, pulling people over for like little, what do you call it, your taillight’s out? You are going to throw that much firepower against communities on stuff like that?”

Jones’ solution; “Send them something in the mail. It’s just dumb to direct this much firepower. No other country does this. This much-armed personnel against such petty offenses. That’s dumb. And it’s dangerous for both sides because why are you pulling all these people overdoing this stuff? Everybody is terrified. Everybody’s afraid. It’s discriminatory because, first of all, they pull people of color over all the time. The numbers are completely clear on this. Then the interaction is completely different.” He said.

Jones concluded; “The first thing you have got to do is you have to say we need to completely, as Obama said, reimagine policing. We don’t need this much firepower going after little petty stuff. It’s dangerous for everybody and discriminatory, and everybody knows it.”

The CNN host popped off in racial terms following Trump’s upset victory, decrying the win as “whitelash.”

Jones’ old boss also slithered out to opine on the shooting, as Barack Obama issued a statement calling to “reimagine policing and public safety.”

Being that he is a “racial arsonist” Obama also sought to portray the shooting of Wright in black vs. white terms;

Obama’s website also rushed to exploit the incident for the maximum emotional impact, urging that pressure be put on leaders in the memory of Daunte Wright, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, who may have all met their demise at the hands of police but also have one other thing in common, they were all either themselves criminals or in the case of Taylor, knowingly associated with criminals that put them on a trajectory for encounters with law enforcement.

Wright’s unfortunate death only serves as the opening act to the racial conflagration of 2021 as the sequel to last summer’s corporate-endorsed rioting and Obama, Jones, and the rest of the purveyors of hate in the media are doing their best to ignite the fire through their dumb, dangerous and discriminatory rhetoric.
