Conservatives on social media noted the irony in someone asking “Where are the police when you need them?” after a person tried to attack NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell Tuesday afternoon in an area of Washington, D.C. that Black Lives Matter protesters dubbed the “Black House Autonomous Zone."The Washington, D.C. protesters had attempted this week to create a police-free zone near the White House similar to Seattle’s autonomous zone that took over six blocks near downtown after police abandoned a precinct, but were unsuccessful.The would-be attacker, dressed in a pink bra and panties, ran at Mitchell and House of Representatives Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton as they stood in the street with a cameraperson, but was quickly moved away by security.Mitchell wasn’t on camera at the time but the incident was recorded.Afterward, a person – some have claimed it was Mitchell – asks, “Where are the police when you need them?”"Someone should remind her that her party wants to abolish the police and give her the name of a good social worker," Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson wrote on Twitter."While standing in the 'Black House Autonomous Zone' NBC reporter @mitchellreports was almost just attacked. Her first reaction was to ask where the police were," Caleb Hull wrote."NBC News host Andrea Mitchell was nearly attacked by a crazy [person] today on camera. Her response to the incident was 'Where are the police when you need them.' You can hear her say this," another user tweeted. "Ironically she was literally standing on a street painting that read 'Defund the police.'"A WUSA-TV reporter, however, reported that police did in fact arrive and deescalated the incident.FArrives Weekdays
Everyone said, “Oh, these kids will eventually graduate and enter ‘the real world,’ where they’ll have to grow up and get jobs.” That hasn’t happened. And now society’s fraying at the edges.If our society is truly completely and systematically infected with racism, white supremacy, sexism, etc. (as we’ve been hearing ad nauseum recently), then the only reasonable thing to do is tear it down and start over. Critical (Social Justice) Theory is dangerous disintegrationist sophistry that should be recognized for what it is and rejected by all. True progress is only possible when we aren’t being divided up and set against each other.
