Yesterday I wrote in The BFD about the impossibility of policing the multicultural chasm opened up by the Black Lives Matter movement.
It was subsequently announced that the Minneapolis City Council intends to disband the Minneapolis Police Department altogether, and hand policing over to ‘community groups’. Nine of the 13 city councillors said a ‘new model of public safety’ would be created in the city (RNZ). Policing will be carried out on a ‘consultative’ (for which read ‘subjective’) and, presumably, ‘restorative’ basis. As this ‘right-on’ trend catches up with us, policing as we know it will actually cease to exist.
For those who think this far fetched, remember that city councillors, and our elected politicians generally, are the same group of people who recently voted into being ‘climate emergencies’ which, though totally unfounded, have resulted in the hijack of public policy and massive re-directions of rate-payer dollars to spurious agencies and ‘climate initiatives’.
Remember also that a segregationist culture is developing at home as well as abroad. While businesses were struggling under COVID-19 restrictions, with livelihoods being lost, retrenchments starting to bite, and the general population restricted in its movements by ’social distancing’, massed hordes assembled in Aotea Square to protest the killing of a black man — in America. The New Zealand police, who had until that time been busy crashing people’s barbecues and throwing sunbathers off the beach, did nothing, citing fears over ’tensions’.
Had we known this would be the case I’m sure we would have barbecued and sunbathed far more aggressively. More pertinent though, is the choice of whom we might have chosen to barbecue or sunbathe with.
Dawn Butler, UK Labour MP and Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, has helpfully explained how the ‘new logic’ works. Pay attention, as this exposition is as fraught with hypocrisy as it is with double standards.
When the lockdown rules were relaxed in mid-May by Boris Johnson, some people were allowed to return to work. Ms Butler (who has a trades union background) fumed that the PM was being ‘reckless’ and was ‘sending people out to catch the virus’. Yet when Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake criticised the BLM demonstrations on the basis that they could cause a second ‘spike’, Butler retorted: ‘Don’t you dare! Don’t even go there!’
Most events and gatherings, you see, are unimportant. Anzac Day is unimportant, church is unimportant, and the wishes of the business community are certainly unimportant. But the need to protest against police racism in the USA is very important indeed. So important, in fact, that rules no longer apply.
During our own lockdown Maori were so ‘disproportionately affected’ by COVID-19, according to various news agencies, that they were allowed to operate their own form of martial law, closing off sections of highway and whole areas of our country. There was no evidence that they were more greatly affected, or at risk, than anyone else.
A type of reverse apartheid already exists across government agencies. Maori have their own break-away, though fully government-funded, health system known as Whanau Ora.
The Ministry for Children, rebranded on behalf of Maoridom as Oranga Tamariki, is currently being criticised for ‘racism’ because too many of the children who are sadly taken into care are Maori. On the one hand the agency cannot do enough; on the other it gets blasted for doing ‘too much’. Mothers quoted in a recent report complain that their ‘progress’, such as coming off drugs or completing a ‘parenting course’, is not always recognised by social workers (RNZ).
Don’t be surprised if Kainga Ora (previously known as Housing New Zealand) is attacked next for housing too many Maori tenants. It’s ‘logical’ that new homes be simply given to them. Maori now appear to live outside the law. The only thing they remain ‘in’ on is taxpayer funding.
The plan to legalise drug use in New Zealand — first step: cannabis legalisation after September — is a direct response to our unwillingness to police the (largely Maori) gangs which control the drugs trade. Rather than losing the ‘war on drugs’, we really should admit we never fought it. As the referendum looms, we’re giving up all pretence. Those ‘most affected’ by lifting the embargo will, of course, be Maori. And the actions of a government bending over backwards to be permissive and inclusive will, inevitably, also be seen as ‘racist’.
Large segments of our community are already either not policed or, where they are, they’re policed using inconsistent standards. Social policy treats us differently, based on race. Current policy direction dictates that we should fully expect to see left-wing ‘yeah man’ policing rolled out everywhere in the near future. Say ‘hello’ to taxpayer-funded special interest groups holding the law in their own hands. Say ‘goodbye’ to moral objectivity and the rule of law.
Say hello to ‘kindness’. Say hello to no-go zones in our towns and cities. Say hello to private militias guarding the rich. Say goodbye to one law for all. Say goodbye to reason.
Welcome to the new Dark Ages. Rome: if it isn’t burning, there’s at least some smoulder. And emergency services are out celebrating ‘diversity’.
