Taking Flak = Over the Target

So now, being criticized for being bad at your job is racist?

• Professionally, it’s been “no secret that the [Fraternal Order of Police] has taken issue with me, and I think in a way that is felt beyond just my policy reform ideas,” the county’s top prosecutor said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times.
  
  “The hate mail that I’ve received – no one should ever read ‘Second City Cop’ if you want to maintain your belief in humanity,” she said, referring to a blogger she accused of “using racist rhetoric to describe me.”
  
  “It would be one thing to simply say, as they do, ‘oh, it’s a few bad apples,’ but the permissiveness of such language and rhetoric that is rooted in race, that is rooted in misogyny and their still, to this day, lack of apology for being in the company of, and feeling comfortable in the company of white supremacists who marched on my office — that has been jarring,” Foxx said.
  
  [...] The police union has been a regular critic of Foxx and her work, organizing a rally against her last year that saw members of the Proud Boys, the American Guard and the American Identity Movement attending. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the Proud Boys and the American Guard hate groups.
  
  And Second City Cop, an anonymous blog run by a Chicago police officer that shares department rumors and commentary on local news, has been a vocal and insulting critic of Foxx.

That middle paragraph is amusing - change "white supremacists" to  "black panthers" or "antifa" or "anarchists" and you have today's democratic party in a nutshell. Anyone quoting the SPLC as anything but a lefty money laundering operation is ignorant in the extreme.

To be realistic, Foxx has been "a vocal an insulting critic" of police officers for years now, making up stories about her own interactions with cops, lying in court in order to drop cases, preparing as a defense attorney rather than the chief prosecutor. What she claims is "policy reform" is actually a progressive agenda that she didn't run on - she lied during her entire campaign. We've been realistically (and properly) critical of her unilaterally rewriting criminal law - usurping the job of the legislature - while the mainstream media remained silent.

And guess who pays for her daily incompetence? The minority community:

• in terms of higher prices stores must charge for shoplifting,
• in terms of property losses at the hands of burglars who don't do serious time
• and in terms of bloodshed when shooters and murderers are relased on a completely dysfunctional "electronic monitoring," low bonds, early release and under-sentencing for serious felonies.

You might say that the only people doing their jobs in the criminal justice system are the cops - and these assholes are beating it out of them every single day.
