Some conservatives who should know better legitimize racist attacks on Obama
Dec. 11, 2014 5:10 p.m.
Like most Americans, I was encouraged about race relations in America when Barack Obama was elected president in 2008.
At first, I wasnt especially surprised at the racist invective that emanated from some quarters at the specter of a black man in the White House. A certain amount of that kind of thing was predictable, I told myself.
But, as time has passed, Ive been shocked and disappointed at the extent to which presumably respectable conservatives have responded with silence, if not actual assent, to the racial bigotry aimed at our twice-elected 44th president.
Norman Ornstein, a prominent political scientist of no particular partisan bias, touches on this matter in THIS ESSAY:
Over time, the hostility toward Obama grew dramatically, and so did racist statements. Actually, it did not take very long. One year into his presidency, ABC News catalogued an array of racially tinged and overly racist statements of actions against Obama. They came from election and party officials and media figures, including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. In the years since, the number of prominent figures using race as a wedge only grew. They include a New Hampshire police commissioner using the N word to refer to the president, a Montana federal district judge sending racist emails, and many others.
Most troubling is that some of the most loathsome comments have been enabled and legitimized. When Ted Nugent called the president of the United States a subhuman mongrel at an event for Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbotta term CNNs Wolf Blitzer noted was used by the Nazis to justify the extermination of Jews he generated a firestorm of criticism. But before long, this incendiary and hateful figure was back on the campaign trail with Abbott, now governor-elect. And Colorado Senate candidate Tom Tancredo excitedly announced that he had gotten Nugent to contribute one of his assault weapons for Tancredo to auction off to help finance his campaign.
When Ann Coulter [above] referred to the black president as a monkey for Vladimir Putin one of the most vile terms to apply to an African American, a term that, when used without malice by the late Howard Cosell to refer to a football player, resulted in massive criticism and ultimate removal from Monday Night FootballFox News host Sean Hannity was taken aback, albeit in a bemused way, and offered Coulter a chance to rephrase. She refused. Many conservatives criticized her for the remarks, but she was right back on Hannitys TV and radio shows without any hiatus or punishment.

Police should not be behind the camera, they should be on-camera
Police body cameras are all the rage lately. Al Sharpton wants them used to monitor the activities of cops. Ann Coulter wants them used to shut down Al Sharpton. The White House wants them because, well, theyre a way to look both tough on police violence and tough on crime by spending $263 million on new law enforcement technology.
When Al Sharpton, Ann Coulter and the president of the United States agree on anything, my immediate, visceral reaction is extreme skepticism. In this case, the known facts support that skepticism.
Its exceedingly unlikely that widespread use of police body cameras would reduce the rate or severity of unjustified police violence. Weve already seen the results of numerous technology solutions to that problem.
The introduction of mace and tasers to police weapons inventories encouraged a hair-trigger attitude toward encounters with suspects (suspect being law enforcement-speak for anyone who isnt a cop). Their supposed non-lethality made it safer to substitute violent action for peaceful talk.
The introduction of military weaponry and vehicles to policing hasnt produced de-escalation either. Quite the opposite, in fact now we get to watch small-town police departments stage frequent re-enactments of the Nazi occupation of Paris in towns across America.
And police car dash cams? Thats obviously the most direct comparison. But the dash cam always seems to malfunction, or the police department mysteriously loses its output, when a credible claim of abusive police behavior arises.
On the other hand, its absolutely certain that widespread use of police body cameras would increase the scope and efficacy of an increasingly authoritarian surveillance state.
The White House proposal calls for an initial rollout of 50,000 cameras. Does anyone doubt that the output of those cameras would be kept, copied, cross-referenced and analyzed against law enforcement databases (including but not limited to facial recognition databases) on a continuing basis?
Assuming a camera attaches to a particular officer with an eight hour shift (rather than being passed around at shift changes for 24-hour use), thats 400,000 hours per day of random warrantless searches to be continuously mined for probable cause to investigate and arrest people. Even George Orwell didnt go so far as to have 1984s Thought Police carry portable cameras everywhere they went!
Video technology is certainly part of the solution to police violence, but that solution should remain in the hands of regular people, not the state. More and more of us every day come into possession of the ability to record video on the spot, while instantly porting it to Internet storage so that it cant be destroyed at the scene or tampered with after the fact. Cops need to be on cameras they dont control.
