Cop Indicted in Louisville, Mob Not Placated

Lest a leftist mob burn down Louisville, Officer Brett Hankison has been indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. His crime was to return fire after Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker had shot a fellow officer. Taylor was accidently killed in the incident.

Hankison is not the only victim of moonbattery in this heavily exploited case. Taxpayers are on the hook for a $12 million jackpot justice payout to Breonna Taylor’s relatives.

Yet still the mob is not satisfied. It will never be satisfied, so long as people yield to it.

Black Lives Matter types have taken to the streets for the predictable show of force. Presumably they want Hankison charged with murder, as well as the other officers involved, Myles Cosgrove and Jonathan Mattingly.

Mattingly required surgery after he was shot in the leg during the firefight. A letter he wrote to his fellow officers should be read by everyone:

Mattingly writes, “It’s sad how the good guys are demonized, and criminals are canonized.” It’s not only sad but terrifying, if you consider where it will lead.

A civilization can only stand for as long as the people comprising it have the character to hold it up. We don’t need to have as much character as cops who face gunfire to keep us safe. But we must have enough to side with them against mobs. Otherwise, we will soon find ourselves ruled by criminals.

In the meantime, we get to live in a country where criminals know that the police may be imprisoned if they return gunfire.
