Sometimes ridicule does a better job of destruction than a frontal attack<\/a> can hope to do.\u00a0 I found that out today as Charles Cooke from the National Review mercilessly lampoons<\/a> the White House’s idiotic response to a white police officer’s preventing the stabbing death of a black teenage girl by shooting her assailant (which was the only practical alternative he had).<\/p>\n

Cooke’s piece is titled, “In Defense of Teenage Knife Fighting,” with the subtitle, “Since when do we need the cops to intervene in the recreational stabbings of our youth?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s a taste:<\/p>\n

Just<\/span>\u00a0when I thought that America couldn\u2019t possibly get any softer, people start suggesting that there\u2019s a role for the police in preventing knife murders. The snowflake generation strikes once again.<\/p>\n

Is there any tradition that the radicals won\u2019t ruin? As the brilliant Bree Newsome\u00a0pointed out<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, \u201cTeenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons.\u201d And now people are calling the\u00a0cops<\/em>\u00a0on them? I ask: Is this a self-governing country or not? When Newsome says, \u201cWe do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon,\u201d she may be expressing a view that is unfashionable these days. But she\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Disappointingly, my colleague Phil Klein has\u00a0felt compelled<\/a>\u00a0to join the critics. In a post published yesterday, Phil asked in a sarcastic tone whether the police should \u201csomehow treat teenage knife fights as they would harmless roughhousing and simply ignore it.\u201d My answer to this is: Yes, that\u2019s exactly what they should do \u2014 yes, even if they are explicitly called to the scene. I don\u2019t know where\u00a0Phil<\/em>\u00a0grew up, but where I spent\u00a0my<\/em>\u00a0childhood, Fridays were idyllic: We\u2019d play some football, try a little Super Mario Bros, have a quick knife fight, and then fire up some frozen pizza before bed. And now\u00a0law enforcement<\/em>\u00a0is getting involved? This is political correctness gone mad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

**************************************************************************<\/p>\n

That the Biden administration would smear as Jim Crow-style racist violence the successful intervention of a white policeman to save the well-being (and probably the life) of a black teenager, and to launch that smear on the basis of exactly zero evidence that race\u00a0 —\u00a0 as opposed to the normal human impulse to save a child being attacked\u00a0 —\u00a0 had anything to do with the officer’s regrettable, but also plainly commendable, action, is appalling.\u00a0 Appalling, but revealing.<\/p>\n

Why would anyone want to be a police officer when you’ll be attacked by the the White House as being a Klansman for saving lives\u00a0 —\u00a0 the highest calling of your job?<\/p>\n

Many people, including numerous friends of mine, couldn’t stand Donald Trump for his not infrequently oafish behavior.\u00a0 In truth, they had a point.\u00a0 But Trump’s White House never undertook a smear on policing, and white policing in particular, like this.\u00a0 Joe Biden’s just did.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 John Hinderaker from PowerLine adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We all know where this is going. The would-be murderer Ma\u2019Khia Bryant will be lionized with fulsome tributes. Her relatives will become multi-millionaires. The intended victim may side with her would-be murderer; there is plenty of money to go around.<\/p>\n

Already some liberals on Twitter have said that knife fights among teenage black girls are perfectly normal, even when only one of the combatants has a knife, and law enforcement should stay out of them. The endless corruption of race hustling will continue, and as always, poor blacks will be the ones who suffer the most as police forces across the country pull back lest they be accused of \u201cracism\u201d if they try to do their jobs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
