For Americans who support law enforcement and trust them to safeguard both their liberties and their well-being, it is disheartening to hear officers say that the way to protect the latter is by curtailing the former.
San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia is one such officer, as he revealed in an interview with San Jose Inside. Asked about the topics of the day, Garcia not only expressed support for the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, but also voiced opposition to laws allowing Americans to own firearms for their protection.
As one might be wont to point out, a majority of law enforcement officers believe that Americans should retain the right to bear arms, meaning that Garcia is clearly in the minority on the issue. However, his position as chief of police for the 10th largest city in the country means that his opinion will carry weight among the uninformed and be cited by liberals as support for their anti-gun agenda.

Copied from a friend. The Big Lie of Cultural Diversity was that if everyone learned to embrace everyone’s unique cultural identities, we would come to better appreciate and understand one another in some globalistic love fest of mutual congratulations and soulful renditions of kumbaya.
As yet another poison progressive pill sticks in our throat, its obvious that the promised remedy is far worse than the disease it was meant to cure, but which didn’t really exist in the first place.
In what was once a great cultural melting pot, we now have an arbitrarily divided crudité of battling factions, fraught with suspicion, envy, hostility, blame and resentment. We have transformed from a nation of individual Americans pursuing the same goals to achieve the harmony between diverse individuals united by a single cultural model to threatening mobs on the brink of all-out civil war.
So, how did this dissonance occur?
When Progressive (as in Communist, Socialist, Fascist, Democrat) ideologues set out to destroy the unassailable exceptionalism of the American Ideal, they couldn’t do so with an objectively based ideological war, because their ideal has been proven evil, impractical and unpopular while Americanism has a virtually flawless reputation.
So, they sought to incrementally discredit the perceived value of Americanism through the academic and popular advancement of Subjective Relativism – the preposterous assertion that all values and truths arise from personal perspectives or popular opinion rather than objective, absolute, quantifiable principles and practices, and as such, all values are equally valid.
Multiculturalism asserted that the cause of racial strife (which was diminishing naturally without any help) and poverty (which free market Capitalism, education and the American Ideals of innovation, prudence and self-reliance were already diminishing without help) would be eradicated if minorities and the poor just felt better about themselves. But not due to actual accomplishment or self improvement, but by others’ expressed appreciation and acceptance of their “native culture.”
A problem among black Americans was that the overwhelming majority had no connection with or knowledge of their “African-ness.” Indeed, America was their true native culture. And their growing economic mobility, family stability, Godliness, political inclusion in postwar America demonstrated their adaptability and inclusion in the National Culture. As the Civil Rights movement grew in public esteem and effectiveness under the exemplary leadership of Martin Luther King Jr. residual pockets of official bigotry were being eradicated through transparent, lawfully executed political activism.
But the natural process of generally improvement wouldn’t help the subversives. So they promoted “cultural awareness” among black public figures, who encouraged others to embrace the superficial trappings of quasi-African culture. Some began wearing “African” clothing and changing their names or naming their children with obscure African sounding names. They, along with other ethnic minorities in America succumbed to being involuntarily pigeonholed into “less than American” subgroups with hyphenated ethnic-national identities.
Their “political leaders” designated “black history” as a valid field of study, proclaimed Black History Month, formed the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Black Panthers and a host of race-baiting agitators emerged to antagonize and spread false resentments and an unwarranted sense of entitlement among many blacks.
With no true culture, no cohesive community and having no clear path to return to the only native culture any had ever known, more and more blacks languished in a cultural no-man’s land. Isolated by growing poverty and government dependency; frustrated by an often brutally enforced code that punished those who tried to better themselves, stuck in neighborhoods awash with crime, drugs, promiscuity and having no stable extended family structure or moral foundations, millions of blacks have been imprisoned in a hellish slavery without chains.
Every problem that now plagues American blacks can be traced back directly to Progressive policies and ideological poisoning. The Great Society, Affirmative Action, Cultural Diversity, minimum wage laws, substandard education, the war on drugs and “special consideration” of cultural ideologues who make excuses for bad behavior from blacks, promote the paper tiger of white privilege, all create a cultural, intellectual and economic cul-de-sac from which few escape.
So as We the People reweave our national fabric, unify our cultural standards, and unite under God, Constitution and family, let’s cast off the invisible shackles of Progressive ideals and de-hyphenate Americans in brotherhood that judges people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

No wonder SJ PD has gone down the tubes with leaders like this
He is not qualified to hold that job he needs to be removed asap.
I thought it’s your job to keep the streets safe? Sounds like you’re not doing a good job
No, there is no gun problem. You have a people problem, too many guns in the hands of criminals, and not enough in the hands of responsible adults. Gun registration, and background checks was supposed to solve this problem. It hasn’t, more bureaucratic B’S. The only people who have any trouble getting guns are the law abiding citizens.
Ignorant statement. If guns are outlawed the only people who will have guns then are outlaws! Wake up.
The water you drink must cause brain damage. These are the stupidest comments anyone could make
Then turn yours in moron
