The record would tend to indicate that racist thuggery by the police was
embolded by the Obama presidency and its militarization of the police, its
tendency to transform them into something more resembling an army of
occupation..

Racist cops, like neocon warmakers and Wall Street hustlers feel empowered
because not one of them has been prosecuted by Obama's "Justice" Department.

So we can see that CW has bought in to what is essentially a "Left" white
chauvinist line on the Libyan revolution.

And probably sees the Syrian revolutionaries through the same white
chauvinist lens.

he's in a better position than most.

fear is a very important survival instinct. People are right to fear fire
and be driven by that fire.

most people don't want to go down at all let alone with a smile.

He says Trump is a neofascist yet he seems to look forward to a Trump
presidency. CW talks about Trump's

That's about a close as he gets to talking about the white supremacist
nature of the Trump movement. The growth of white supremacist organizations
with his candidacy. Nothing about #SummerOfChaos etc.

I think racist cops already feel more empowered by the Trump campaign. If
he wins, they will shoot more black people than if Clinton wins. CW may
look forward to that kind of catastrophe but most blacks would like to
avoid it by beating Trump.
