It’s high praise indeed when a documentary calls the least possible attention to itself and still conveys the maximum emotional impact to its viewers. Of course, it helps when the subject matter is both riveting and timely. We have both and then some in Liz Collin and J. C. Chaix’s documentary The Fall of Minneapolis (also reviewed for Counter-Currents by Morris van de Camp). (more…)

For years I worked as police reporter for the Washington Times, spending long hours in squad cars in various cities getting to know cops well. Now I listen to nice white people in the suburbs, and self-assured voices from National Public Radio (NPR), talking about the police. They know nothing of the world where the police work. (more…)

Doxed: The Political Lynching of a Southern Cop
Columbia, S. C.: Shotwell Publishing, 2024“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. — Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals
The modern phenomenon of “doxing,” or publicizing personal information about private citizens, is one of the most dastardly and yet effective tactics of the modern Communist movement. (more…)

I have a feeling that I’m not the only one who enjoys watching dashcam videos of police chases while I relax with a cup of tea. The cameras mounted on most police-car dashboards in the United States provide entertaining yet troubling footage for the tea-drinking armchair constable such as myself. (more…)

George Floyd most likely never met Rodney King. They are both dead. Their lives really “made a difference.” It would be good for them to meet. Comparatively speaking, that is.
The difference these particular agents of the feral underclass made was to turn race-rioting on a colossal scale into a form of “righteous” self-expression — but only for a chosen people. (more…)

Kimberly Potter, the former police officer who was recently sentenced for accidentally shooting future doctor Daunte Wright while he was fighting with another officer.
1,760 words
On April 11, 2021, white Minneapolis police officer Kimberly Potter shot and killed Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old mulatto male who was driving with an expired license and an air-freshener hanging from his rearview mirror (which is apparently illegal in Minnesota). The entire encounter was captured on police dashcam video, which was played during Potters’ trial late last year.
After pulling Wright over, she and her fellow officers realized that Wright had an open warrant out for his arrest. He had allegedly taken part in a robbery and had then skipped out on his court date, fled from officers, and was charged with illegal gun possession. (more…)

Part 1 of 3 (Part II here)
Part I: COVID-19
Not long after 2020 began, most of our lives were deeply disrupted. I had been following rumblings from China about a fast-spreading and potentially lethal virus for over a month before the first case was announced in the United States in late January. Several weeks after that, my last semester of law school was cut short by an early Spring Break in early March, and then a move to virtual classes for the remainder of the term. (more…)
