This won\u2019t end well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By all accounts, the police shooting of a black man, Daunte Wright, Sunday during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center was a stupid, horrible accident. But it\u2019s not racism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fact that it h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened just 10 miles from where a former police officer, Derek Chauvin, is standing trial for the killing of George Floyd just makes the calamity unfathomably worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The threat of extreme violence if Chauvin is acquitted already had the country on tenterhooks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Wright\u2019s death ensured the riots and looting came early. You would think, at such a time, that our nation\u2019s leaders would find a way of lowering the temperature. But no.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Former President Barack Obama, who could wield more influence for good than anyone, did the worst possible thing. Instead of using the opportunity to teach young men not to resist arrest, he fanned the flames of fear by falsely asserting that Wright\u2019s death was racially motivated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was \u201cyet another shooting of a Black man . . . at the hands of police.\u201d It showed \u201cjust how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, we\u2019ve been reimagining police for almost a year and the result is soaring crime, with black neighborhoods the worst hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democratic US Rep. Rashida Tlaib fanned the flames further. She tweeted that Wright\u2019s shooting \u201cwasn\u2019t an accident. Policing in this country is inherently and intentionally racist . . . No more policing incarceration and militarization. It can\u2019t be reformed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So says the woman whose workplace is surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by thousands of police and military.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These are the facts: This year to April 12, 52 black people were fatally shot by police, just three of whom were unarmed, and 109 white people suffered the same fate, five of whom were unarmed, according to a Washington Post database.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> and allied activists only scream when police kill a black person. This leads to a distorted understanding of the problem, as a February survey by the Skeptic Research Center found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The majority of Americans, especially liberals, wildly overestimates the number of unarmed black men killed by police. For instance, 53.5 percent of those reporting \u201cvery liberal\u201d political views estimated the number to be 1,000 or more deaths in 2019, when the actual number of unarmed black men fatally shot by police was 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the media is invested in this false narrative and will not let it go, no matter how much mayhem it unleashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For instance, before he resigned, Brooklyn Center Police chief Tim Gannon gave a press conference in which he mentioned the riots the previous night, and was shouted down by activists posing as reporters. \u201cDon\u2019t do that,\u201d they scolded him. \u201cThere was no riot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was,\u201d he replied. \u201cAn officer was injured, hit on the head with a brick [and] was transported to the hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gannon was trying to be upfront when he released Potter\u2019s bodycam footage and said she had mistaken her gun for her Taser.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the media was only interested in reinforcing their racism narrative. Wright was \u201cdriving while black\u201d was a favorite headline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist wrote that Wright was pulled over because he had air freshener dangling from his mirror. Still shots from the bodycam video show no air freshener existed from the start to the end of the police interaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pulling Wright over wasn\u2019t racist. He was driving with expired license plate tags.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arresting him wasn\u2019t racist. He had an open warrant related to an armed-robbery case for a case in which he allegedly choked a woman and threatened to shoot her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wright should not have died, but racism had nothing to do with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he resisted arrest, jumped back in his car and attempted to escape, police had good reason to try to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kimberly Potter, the officer who shot Wright, clearly intended to Taser him and not shoot him with her gun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The video shows her calling out, \u201cTaser, taser, taser!\u201d before firing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She was charged Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Due process is being followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the mob that showed up at her house baying for blood demands a different sort of justice, which the cowardly City Council won\u2019t refuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The council fired Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey Monday because he said Potter should not be hung, drawn and quartered by the mob, but deserved \u201cdue process.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Councilmember Chris Lawrence Anderson admitted she voted to fire Boganey for fear of reprisals from the mob. \u201cHe was doing a great job,\u201d she told the Star Tribune. \u201cI didn\u2019t want repercussions at a personal level.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, neither Floyd nor Wright deserved to die. It is a tragedy for everyone involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s worth noting that before their fatal encounters with police, both men had been charged over crimes involving aggravated violence to women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Floyd served five years in jail after entering a woman\u2019s home and pressing a gun into her stomach during a robbery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two victims called the police because that\u2019s what we do when a crime occurs. Police are the thin blue line between violent criminals who take what they want from the weak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet now people protected by wealth or the security apparatus of the state are telling those victims that they are on their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A world without law and order is a very scary place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No one knows that better than the migrants streaming over the southern border. They\u2019re escaping from countries where the rule of law is a joke, but they haven\u2019t yet figured out we\u2019re on the same lawless trajectory.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"INTELLIGENCE_FOOLS_HUNTER_FLUB\"><\/span>INTELLIGENCE FOOLS\u2019 HUNTER FLUB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fifty former intelligence bosses put their reputations on the line when they wrote an open letter last October declaring that Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop was Russian disinformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that Hunter has admitted the laptop \u201ccertainly\u201d could be his, they are exposed as partisan propagandists who were instrumental in suppressing the Post\u2019s accurate story.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan we get these 50 fools . . . to now sign a letter stating they were wrong, the laptop was Hunter Biden\u2019s and apologize to Rudy Giuliani?\u201d asks reader Daniel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-nypost-small-post is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Hunter Biden\" class=\"wp-image-17970483 lazyload\" width=\"231\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/hunter-biden-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/hunter-biden-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/hunter-biden-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/hunter-biden-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=231 231w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/hunter-biden-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=462 462w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 231px\"\/><figcaption>Hunter Biden appeared on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d on Thursday, April 8, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">ABC\/Randy Holmes via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>He\u2019s right.

He also admitted perjuring himself before Congress, when he denied intelligence agencies were spying on Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clapper\u2019s CNN stablemate, ex-CIA director John Brennan, played a central role in the Russia-collusion scam and was caught out lying about civilian deaths by CIA drone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gen.
