Dorian Johnson….. dies after being shot in Ferguson | CNN

The problem here is that CNN is perpetuating a lie. The investigation of the incident between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown showed that “hands up don’t shoot” was a false narrative.  Why must CNN perpetuate this lie? Why is CNN trying to keep this false narrative of “hands up don’t shoot” alive?

Policing Campus Protests

College campuses across the country celebrate their legacies of creating free speech guarantees following student protests from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, even though colleges had minimal tolerance of such protests at the time. As part of the New Left’s vision for a different society, students, sometimes joined by faculty, demanded an end to the Vietnam War and war industry research, fought for Black and ethnic studies departments, and protested urban renewal plans that displaced Black working-class communities.

We are experiencing another transformative moment. Lawmakers and other stakeholders pressure university administrators to act against students or face funding cuts. Police repression follows, escalating into violence. Universities create or enlarge their own police or security forces in response, while also expanding codes of conduct to quash disruptive protest activity. This Symposium Piece traces the throughlines between university responses in the past and today.

The Visible Identification Standards for Immigration-Based Law Enforcement (VISIBLE) Act of 2025

U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Alex Padilla (D-CA) are at it again, sponsoring a bill (VISIBLE Act of 2025) to mandate how ICE investigates immigration law under the guise of transparency and Accountability. See more about VISIBLE HERE

One problem with this bill is Booker/Padilla and others are trying to eliminate one means of protection that ICE Agents have to protect themselves and their families from threats and violence. See a recent article by Jonathan Turley that discusses some of the encouragement of violence and resistance by Law Makers. Access the article HERE.

Why don’t Law Makers support actions to protect the public and law enforcement? Under the lies of peaceful protests some law makers call upon protestors to not give up and to increase their resistance to law enforcement. These law makers are complicit in the attacks on law enforcement.

Search social media for ICE protest videos and it is easy to see that these so called protests are far from non-violent. In various videos it is common to see attacks on law enforcement that are criminal. This video is a recent example. As ICE agents are making an arrest the protesters actions could easily led to an arrest for “Resisting Arrest, Obstructing law enforcement, Assault and/or Battery”. There are no “protest exemptions” that allow protesters to commit crimes. Barriers to law enforcement making arrests is that they don’t have enough resources to deal with the protest and make arrests, follow-up arrests are difficult because protestors wear masks and even without masks identification is difficult, Ice agents are federal officers and protestors are committing state crimes, politicians and news media promote an anti-police narrative, and local district attorneys (unlawfully) refuse to prosecute. Question: If a person would push, shove, block, or scream in the face of a politician, prosecutor, or judge how would this person be treated? Treated to an arrest.

Instead of trying to handcuff ICE operations, law makers should support stopping violent actions of protesters, provide resources for law makers to arrest on crimes committed by protester on sight or by follow-up, and make laws to protect law enforcement and their family in their personal lives (penalty enhancements for attacking law enforcement, especially off-duty). If law broken by protestors and these crimes fully and completely enforced, protestor violence would definitely decrease or even stop.

Policing is a job. When police leave the job and go home they have the right to be left alone and not threatened or stalked. Currently there seams little effort to protect law enforcement during protests or during their private lives. Law Makers should focus on stopping criminals, ICE agents trying to protect their identities to keep their families safe is not a crime.
