Who Is the Bad Guy Here?

As hard as I would like to find it to believe but I am already hearing complaints about the number officers who will be working downtown this weekend during Indiana Black Expo.  The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, along with volunteers from the faith-based community, will be patrolling downtown to keep unsupervised young people from getting out of line.  IMPD is getting back up assistance from State Police, the Marion County Sheriff’s Department and Capitol Police.  However, for some strange reason, or maybe not so strange, the professional race pimps, aka Baptist Ministers Alliance of Indianapolis took to the airwaves to complain about the police.  They accused law enforcement and the city of hijacking Expo and using it as an excuse to equate blacks and crime.

Now I will be the first one to admit that IMPD has had its issues in the past, but to go after police and law enforcement because of the actions of some unruly children is asinine.   Help me out with this one.  I don’t think law enforcement was the one who shot several people last year and entered a plea agreement with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.  I don’t think law enforcement was running around in the streets after curfew.  And I definitely don’t think law enforcement was abdicating its responsibilities as parents.

If anything, law enforcement has my sympathy.  Officers have had to give up their days off, cancel travel plans and the city has had to spend some untold amount of money because a bunch of people who couldn’t think to stop by Planned Parenthood or Walgreen’s on their way to or from the liquor store or the club decided to procreate and have the rest of us pick up their tab.  Don’t get mad at the cops, get mad at the people who made all this possible by not doing their jobs as parents.

Editor’s Note:  As tradition dictates, I’ll be working the door at Nicky Blaines off Monument Circle on Friday and Saturday night.  You can follow my updates on Twitter.

    But……but…..would that not then make her a gasist?

    It appears Mitch learned his DC lessons well. This is even better than the Moody’s AAA rated toxic garbage MBS’s sold to dopes like ISTA:

    The fraud tradecraft one can learn from the Fed is of the highest calibre.  Of course, it helps if you make the laws.

    Or, like TA, they go silent.

  • pascal

    Or, compel their “leadership” to attend the Italian Street Festival to see how it is done properly?

  • melyssa

     I’ve known restaurant people in this town for 20 years and without a single exception they ALL dread Black Expo.  Does that mean every service worker I’ve ever known is racist? 

    Curiously, they also don’t like the church conventions (but for different reasons). 

    Pointing this out does not make me a racist. 

    However, calling me a racist behind a moniker of anonymity makes you a pathetic coward. 

  • melyssa

    TA, borderline racist?  Do you know how RUDE OBNOXIOUS the people are at that gas station during black expo? 

    I live near there….have to avoid every south of my house like the plague during this weekend.   

    They are the most ill behaved group of people I’ve witnessed in my life (and I’ve been to punk rock shows)

  • Think Again

    Both of you are equal disgraces.

    A sad but true fact: no one should speak ill of the dead.

    Well, maybe except for despots like Bin Laden, Hitler, et al.

    Ms. Carson did  much good.  She voted in ways that I disliked several times.  She’s gone.  You seem to get great pleasure out of stomping on her grave, and it’s disgusting.  You ought to be ashamed.  Were you both raised by wolves, with no respect for the departed?

    Notice I said “ought to be.”  I won’t hold my breath.

    If you clowns don’t like the criminal sentencing system, complain to the legislature, which has been dominated (Senate) for over two decades by one party.  They establish and codify sentencing parameters.

    Piss on law degrees, huh?  I’m not a huge fan of the profession, but if that’s your overall attitude, well, then someone needs to say it;

    Piss on your attitude.  

  • Think Again

    When he’s ASLEEP he’s 10X better than his predecessor is AWAKE.

    When will you wake up?

  • Think Again

    Rude obnoxious people exist everywhere, Melyssa.  I don’t think you’re racist at all.  But that observation was.

  • Think Again

    The REMARK.  Not you.  Given the geography, what is one to assume?  

    As for your observations regarding service workers, you’re entitled to it.  Mine are not similar.

    See how that works?

    Laugh!  There is nothing wrong with the sentencing system created by the legislature…there is a problem with a SOFT prosecutor dismissing charges to arrive at a soft sentence for a violent criminal!

    cough….choke…puke!

    her observation was true fact.  No opinion.  Look at TA losing the debate and throwing out the race card…..

  • Scooter

    I’m not ashamed.

    All those years in congress, (for no other reason than her skin color), and not once did she ever author one damn piece of legislation.  Not once.  She’d sign on to other peoples, but none of her own.  She was nothing but a rubber stamp for the Democratic Party and stupid hat makers.

    Put yourself in the public eye, and you become part of the history of this Nation, and will be talked about long after you are gone.  We talk about George, Thomas, Abe & Teddy, Trickey Dick & Ronald….. don’t we??

    She’s fair game.  Get over it.

  • Scooter

    Piss on lawyers, wizz on ‘em, tinkle…. and all the other words I can’t think of right now. 

    Politicians & lawyers will be the death of this Republic….. and most politicians are lawyers, so we are sooooooooooo screwed!

  • Mely

    You mean Lafayette SCARE! 

  • Scooter

    Use your words….. Catholic teens… National Catholic Youth Conference….

    Unless the bars are gonna serve the 13 – 17 crowd now.

  • Scooter

    BHO is losing the budget debate, and what gets thrown?  The race card.

    That is getting old, and very soon no one will pay attention anymore.

  • pascal

    If I knew where she was buried I’d do more than stomp on it.  She was a POS alive or dead-what’s so hard to comprehend about that?

  • pascal

    Curry is turning out to be an unpleasant surprise but it is part of the price of having no institutional memory in the newspaper or other media?  Other blogs have many more details.

  • pascal

    TA, when  confronted with facts, as usual, goes silent.  Eunuch? (or Jen Wagner wannabe?).

  • pascal

    You think a paper credential is worth something?  Maybe you missed the posting by Mr. Ogeden about degreed lawyers being offered jobs at IHOP? Piss on lawyers stands!  What makes you think that these assholes are professional?  Maybe, maybe back in the day but don’t they come in as less respected than used car salesmen?  And, for good reason?

  • pascal

    10X? Not lately.  The appearences are, in my opinion, is that he is bought and paid for.  Do you read anything other than the comic section?

  • pascal

    BS.  For one thing, they don’t have millions, and if they did, it was extracted from productive people and given to them in exhange, in my opinion.  On balance, it costs the public money.  Hell, even the Mafia behaves at the Italian Street Festival.

  • pascal

    The race card has no value.  Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!  It is possible that Blacks will not be low class forever but when Mexicans move in great numbers into the Middle Class what will the BMA have to say about their low class Black Sheep?
