3 more Baton Rouge policemen killed today. BLM has proven to be a terror group. If this continues, we ALL can expect delays and skepticism with any 911 calls!

BATON ROUGE, La. — Several officers have been shot in Baton Rouge Sunday morning while on duty less than a mile from police headquarters, police said.

Media Blackout: Letter from a Black Man in Baton Rouge

I’ve been in Baton Rouge for a week now, watching the international media cover the aftermath of the Alton Sterling shooting with the predictably dismal set of left-wing talking points.

While the MSM wants to pitch Baton Rouge as an example of racist America, when I talk to the residents of Baton Rouge—some white but mostly black—I’ve gotten a different story; one that’s more complex than the simple paint-by-numbers Democrat narrative that the media is shoving down America’s throat.

After my recent arrest, I got some mentions in the local press which led to my getting this email:

Hey, just discovered your twitter feed and that you’re in Baton Rouge. Just read your weekend in parish prison piece. I’m seeing all the media reports and I’m so mad that the people aren’t being asked the right things. Are you open to hearing from who’s black and from Baton Rouge area?

Of course, I was interested, and I responded right away. Just as the callers on the Breitbart News Daily radio show on SiriusXM Satellite Radio provide better analysis than the inside-the-beltway pundits, I wanted to share this man’s personal insights into what’s going on in Baton Rouge:

Wow, thanks for responding! I’m a lifelong resident of Zachary, a Baton Rouge suburb, and a black man. 

I don’t believe Alton Sterling was killed because of racism. Baton Rouge is poor. They use police and arrest as a means of filling budget shortfalls. Everyone knows cops have a directive from the mayor that when a call comes in, make an arrest no matter what, because an arrest equals money for the city. Those cops were going to arrest him no matter what. Dispatch informing them a gun was used let them know how much force was necessary. Alton, a convicted felon illegally possessing a gun wasn’t going to comply no matter what, as he knew he was about to go to jail for a long time. Those forces created a tornado, simple as that. 

The problem nobody is talking about: Baton Rouge is dealing with black working middle class flight.

Twenty years ago black neighborhoods were filled with black nuclear traditional families, headed by a working father and in most cases a working mother. These neighborhoods had dangerous elements—which unfortunately stereotyped the whole based on the few—but socially, economically, and as taxpayers, it created stability. Neighborhoods filled with working fathers kept it together. The black dollar supported jobs and businesses and that taxpayer based allowed for local services to be provided by the government.

All of that is gone. 

Almost every black person in the last ten years with an education, job or professional certification LEFT those neighborhoods, ironically because of some policies by George W. Bush, but that’s another conversation.

Go on a tour of neighborhoods like Glen Oaks, or Fairfields, or McKinley, I dare you to find a working married couple. You won’t. These neighborhoods are filled with people— more poor whites and Mexicans but still 80 % black) that are the following: single mothers on welfare, ex-cons, drug dealers and users, and old people who can’t afford to move. That congruence of factors creates the following: a great swath of individuals who dependent on government services while not paying taxes. 

I live in Zachary. Recently we were voted one of the top ten places in America to raise a family. Since becoming an independent school district from Baton Rouge, we have been the #1 school district in the state every year. We are a family and faith oriented community that is roughly 45% black.

I engage the police every day and 100% of those engagements are positive. They are positive because Zachary has money and doesn’t have to arrest people for stats and revenue. As such, the mandate given to them by our mayor, council and city leaders is to value our kids, even one who is goofing off or doing criminal acts that kids do. We want productive students, not children in jail. A kid was recently arrested at our High School and it was the SCHOOL who bailed him out.

We value kids and so we value parents. The value of a parent who may be caught doing something stupid like driving tipsy isn’t in tickets, arrests or confiscating his car; it’s him being alive to go to work, take care of his kids and being productive in the long run. 

That’s the difference in policing; the Baton Rouge police in black neighborhoods aren’t community-based police. I NEVER see police when I go to Baton Rouge.

On the other hand, the decent and rich neighborhoods of Baton Rouge have residents who fully engaged in the local government, either through their council or back channels. They are like my town of Zachary, where we demand a different and more appropriate policing strategy. Police aren’t needed until or unless a violent crime happens.

The poor, majority black areas have vastly disproportionately numbers of 911 calls. Factor in no government engagement to properly shape policy and we sadly have situations like the Alton Sterling shooting. 

No one is moving back to Baton Rouge. Go and take a look at the major thoroughfares during rush hour. The big employers of Baton Rouge don’t live in Baton Rouge, and neither do their workers. The people who run the city don’t live in Baton Rouge. 

Talk to the black people here. We are all in agreement as to the real problem. We want our kids to go to great schools, we love our great jobs, and our mixed neighborhoods are awesome. We don’t want to go backwards or have unnecessary strife or meaningless marches and protests.

By the way, I have multiple sources in the Baton Rouge Police are tell me they are LAUGHING at those protests because of the overtime money they are making.

I fear the worst is yet to come. The problem always has been complete and total mismanagement by the city, including corruption, negligence, politics, and nepotism. The wake up call should have been when Zachary and Central won ballot initiatives to LEAVE the East Baton Rouge Parish school system and become independent. Baton Rouge easily lost a massive amount of yearly funding while Zachary just passed a balanced budget for a district MAYBE of 3,000 kids.

Other residents see this and the push is on to break away from Baton Rouge. There’s a new petition about St George going around that would create a new city that would encompass the taxpaying half of the city. Before all these protests, most people were indifferent about St George. Now? It’s all but over and done.

Baton Rouge will be will effectively be an American shantytown. 

I just wish the media would ask more people the right questions because once the media leave and it’s the people here who will have to live with this.

And the results will be terrifying.   SOURCE

Other officers shot in critical condition…

At least two Baton Rouge police officers and one East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office deputy shot this morning have died, according to multiple reports.

“The remaining officers are hospitalized in critical condition,” CNN reports.

According to witness accounts, the incident began Sunday morning when a man who was dressed in black and had his face covered began “shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash across from Hammond Air Plaza,” near the Baton Rouge Police Department.

RT reports up to eight police officers have been shot.

Reports claim the gunman is still at large and a manhunt is currently underway.

The Baton Rouge mayor’s office has issued an advisory telling residents to stay home and off the streets, tweets a reporter with The Advocate. READ MORE

3 Police Officers Reported Dead, 7 Shot In Baton Rouge; Shooters Said To Be At Large

Three officers are feared dead after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, officials said.

Kip Holden, the mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish, said authorities were still trying to get a handle on the situation, but added, ”The count is three officers dead possibly.”

The victims may include police officers and sheriff’s deputies.

“There is still an active scene. They are investigating,” he said. “Right now we are trying to get our arms around everything.”

As we detailed earlier, police have closed streets between Baton Rouge Police Headquarters and I-12 where at least three law enforcement officers have been shot. According to local media WBRZ, shots were fired around 9 a.m. Sunday morning kicking off a manhunt for the shooter or shooters. There is an active shooter situation in the area of Airline and Old Hammond Highways according to The Advocate. A police spokesperson was not ready to release specifics as of yet.

Obviously, police-community relations in Baton Rouge have been especially tense since the killing of 37-year-old Alton Sterling, a black man killed by white officers earlier this month after a scuffle at a convenience store.

A witness told WBRZ News 2, a man was dressed in black with his face covered shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash across from Hammond Air Plaza.

“The scene seems to be contained right now,” said Sgt. Don Coppola, Baton Rouge Police Department. “We’re asking everyone to stay out of the area.”

While we hope it is unrelated, it is notable that ovenright WBRZ reported that Baton Rouge residents gathered Saturday afternoon to form the newest chapter of the New Black Panther Party.  The New Black Panthers arrived in Baton Rouge last Saturday to protest the officer-involved shooting death of 37-year-old Alton Sterling. Two videos of the shooting sparked national outcry and protests across Baton Rouge.

 

 

Jerald Justice said the group was approached by local residents like Edwin Smith to help establish a Baton Rouge chapter. 

 

“It is time for new leadership and a new organization to step forward in Baton Rouge,” Smith said. “I feel like the New Black Panther Party is the organization that can bring new leadership to Baton Rouge.”

 

Founders met Saturday to formally establish the chapter as well as gather names for new members. WBRZ News 2’s Earl Phelps was able to briefly attend the event on the condition that he does not reveal the meeting’s location.

 

“With the help of the New Black Panther Party, these members should be able to handle any or everything in their city,” Justice said.

 

Over the course of five days, authorities arrested 185 protesters in Baton Rouge. Friday, District Attorney Hillar Moore said that his office will not prosecute 100 protesters who were only charged with misdemeanor crimes.

 

Justice said that the Black Panthers were involved in the protests, but none of their members were arrested or were carrying guns during the demonstrations.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
