Leftist Reporters Give The Completely Wrong Impression Of A Very Simple Law
And they wonder why we've lost trust in news agencies?
House Bill 85 is as simple as they come. So of course Leftists will distort it, misrepresent it, and cause confusion about it.
With a hair-pulling frustration, this writer has been challenging “reporters” to stop misrepresenting the bill, but to no avail.
Let’s look at it:
If the police are in the process of arresting a violent offender, they can tell you “Step Back!” and you have to.
That’s it. And guess what… every person reading these words: 1) wouldn’t be approaching that scene anyway, and 2) would do what the officer instructed you to do even without this law.
But Leftists gonna Left.
Here’s how the racist/Leftist Verite News is presenting the law:
And people seeing this are reacting this way:
And this is the silliest take yet….
And when I tried to set the record straight with “Digital Darling” I received this brilliance:
The Leftist but usually generally reliable legislative reporter Julie O’Donoghue also shares the blame for people misunderstanding the law:
People are saying that your camera on your phone won’t be able to record police interactions from 25 feet away…. 25 FEET! As if the zoom feature on your camera phone hasn’t been invented yet.
Twenty-five feet is 9 steps of my usual gait, a shorter distance than between the two parallel walls in the room I presently sit. And people presume they cannot film the cops from 9 paces away.
Nowhere in the brief and tightly-written law will you see the words “film,” “video,” “camera,” or “record.” They simply do not appear in the law at all.
Friends, forgive me for showing my frustration, and I don’t wish to be ill-mannered. But how and why are Leftists just so dumb? So predictably, constantly, irreversibly dumb?
Trying to reason with Leftists is like punching Jello.
The purpose of the law is to protect police officers. That’s it. And the need for the law is a consequence of the hatred for police that Leftists are instilling among the population. You know… ACAB, meaning “All Cops Are Bastards.”
Here at The BEC, we do what the police tell us to do. When they give us a stern command like, “STEP BACK!” we step back!
We know you do, too.
That’s simply too difficult for Leftists to understand. No… this is so cops can drive up to your house and order you off your front porch. Of course it is.
