Today in “liberal cities are moving one step closer to total lawlessness” news, it was reported that Philadelphia’s City Council has passed a measure that bans officers from pulling over drivers for traffic violations like broken taillights or expired registrations.
The measure, being called an “anti-driving-while-black” law, is being seen by social justice advocates as a “victory for equity”, according to the Delaware Valley Journal.
Councilmember Isaiah Thomas’ Driving Equality bill supposedly seeks “to address the tension between members of the Black community and police by reducing the number of minor traffic stops”.
Thomas wants to redirect police time toward “keeping the community safe” while removing negative interactions that “widen the racial divide”.
We guess the idea of reprimanding officers for pulling people over for no reason, instead of actually having a valid reason, never crossed his mind. Because keeping things “safer” now apparently means you can drive around in a car with busted headlights and no registration. Ah, the sweet smell of progress.
Thomas commented: “To many people who look like me, a traffic stop is a rite of passage – we pick out cars, determine routes, and plan our social interactions around the fact that police will likely pull us over. With this vote, I breathe a sigh of relief that my sons and my friends’ children will grow up in a city where being pulled over is not a rite of passage but a measure of the safety of your driving and vehicle, regardless of the skin color of the driver. That’s why I am grateful to my colleagues for voting to pass my Driving Equality bills.”
The old wise tale of the broken window symdrone, guess their erasure of history. Removes all common sense!!! A lesson learned from past failure of such methods should be considered.
I will take philly of my list of places to visit.
Broken windows; Rudy Giuliani. Duck Duck Go it. This will turn Philly for the worse.
This is entropy.
The slow degradation of order.
SOME citizens get to riot, burn down police stations, assault police with firebombs, loot business (because there is nothing that says “I’m oppressed” than stealing a bunch of video games and TV’s), and kill people and no charges are filed.
MAYORS say “give them room to riot” while honest people watch everything they’ve worked for go up in flames as the police are ORDERED to let it burn.
Lime green-haired men dressed as women (with beards and gaudy make-up and cheap jewelry) are allowed to interact with young children (to teach them a new standard of “normal”).
Men who risked everything they had (including their very lives) to bring a new country freedom are now labeled as racist nobodies who really did nothing except set up a system that, well, uh, er, fed the world and saved it TWICE from fascism and mass murder.
Math, science, and even spelling are racist and it’s far better to be a stupid loser than someone who can read, write and add numbers correctly.
Entropy.
It cannot be stopped and we are rolling down the entropy hill like a runaway train.
Keep cheering.
