Philly Police Chief's "Occupation": Talk About Gun Control To Divert Attention From His "Stop And Frisk" Policies, Lead "The Least Of These" In March Against The Enemy

Journalists Note The Need For A Muckraking Press In Pursuit Of Justice
Rather Than Stenography 

From my observations - the most effective POLITICIANS are those that can stand on stage at a time when they personally should be attacked.  They use their knowledge of what the people want to hear to stand up an external enemy to attack and then they functionally levitate off of the stage, leading the people forward against this new appointed enemy.   The people are made happy because they feel as if they are INVOLVED and have a PURPOSE.

Most people don't note the difference between a "Politician" versus GOOD GOVERNANCE.




I don't know enough about Philadelphia Police Commissioner Ramsey's present rule to make a commentary.  

I do recall, however, that he had instituted "Stop And Frisk" in his previous assignments and he brought them to Philadelphia.

To be clear - I am not one to make a blanket indictment against Stop And Frisk as a tool.

I make the case that those who are now complaining about "Stop And Frisk" can't bring themselves to see that it is merely an 'OPERATIONALIZATION" of their "Take The Guns Off The Streets protests that they had previously demanded.  In as much as the police are forced to have an action plan while others are allowed to merely rant - I don't believe that there has been a full vetting of how the "Stop and Frisk" policy has come to be.

If they had their way - the gun dealers would be the primary focus of sanction and control for those who wish to restrict our Second Amendment rights.   Unlike most of the other articles in the US Constitution - few people will be called a "Constitutional violator" for maintaining a hard stance against our Constitutional gun ownership rights.

Regardless of the debate that focuses on "Stop and Frisk" or more stringent gun controls (placed upon gun dealers) - few people wish to talk about the problem that resides at the heart of the manner (within the inner city):   Wanton gun violence enacted by people who's CONSCIOUSNESS was fomented within the very same communities that are complaining about "GUNS AND POLICE".
