Black assailants' lives matter, Black victims' lives don't
By Civis Americanus
LeBron James apparently deleted a tweet in which he posted, “YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY†with a picture of police officer Nicholas Reardon, who shot Ma’Khia Bryant, who is on bodycam video brandishing a knife within a foot of another Black person (the one in the pink outfit).
This underscores the accuracy of what the student who was forced out of "canceler" Hardin-Simmons University posted about Black Lives Matter. If Bryant had succeeded in killing the other Black woman, the latter would be just one more anonymous crime victim as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause. If Hakim Littleton, who is on bodycam video pointing a gun at a cop's head, had succeeded in killing the officer instead of being shot dead by the cop's partner, the officer would be just one more anonymous dead "pig" as opposed to a useful martyr to the Cause.
The bodycam video of Reardon shows meanwhile that he probably saved the Black victim from death or serious injury by placing four shots into the body of her assailant, and nowhere else, even though Bryant was essentially on top of the victim. That might be easy enough to do on a firing range with inanimate shoot/don't shoot targets with enough practice, but it's a lot harder when you have to do it with an innocent person in your line of fire and perhaps less than a second to save her life. Our country used to call police, firefighters, and paramedics who save the lives of innocent people “heroes†-- and some of us still do. Officer Reardon deserves a commendation, but the "woke" left prefers to call cops who take any Black life, even a perp threatening another Black life, racists, murderers, and white supremacists. This includes Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, who libelously accused the officer who shot Michael Brown in self-defense of "murder." Both are attorneys and should know full well that a false public accusation of murder is libel per se.
