Where is #MeToo in all of this chaos?

Oddly, in the wake of massive rioting, property damage, injuries, and even deaths in Democratic-controlled cities across America, there is a lot of discussion about reduced funding for, and even de-funding of, police departments. 

Now, few people have been as critical of the police as yours truly.  I’ve written a book titled Tried and Convicted: How Police, Prosecutors, and Judges Destroy Our Constitutional Rights.  And all of my books, entirely or at least in part, have been very critical of the police.  But de-funding the police is an idea that’s so ridiculous even the hyper-liberal, floppy-haired Mayor of Minneapolis can’t get behind it.  (Watch this video to see the absurdity of it all.) 

I won’t point out the obvious problems with this dangerous idea of de-funding police departments.  Many of the problems are, as I indicated, obvious.  Other less obvious ones have been covered in great detail on even moderately conservative news outlets.  But my question is this: Where the hell is #MeToo in all this?

More specifically, I saw a newscaster “challenge” her guest by making this statement, and I’m paraphrasing here: A lot of people are worried that if the police don’t exist, there will be no one to call if an intruder is breaking into their house.  The completely brain-dead response was—again, closely paraphrasing: That concern is coming from a place of white privilege.  (This is offensive, of course, on many levels.  For example, aren’t African-Americans also entitled to a police response if there is an intruder in their home?)

Well, put aside race entirely.  Here’s the bigger question: If there are no police, what happens when a woman, of any race, calls the police on her physically abusive husband or boyfriend, of any race?  In other words, what would happen to domestic violence victims, of all races, if the police are de-funded? 

I haven’t heard anything from the #MeToo movement on this, but it seems they would have a powerful case here against police de-funding.  The problem with speaking up right now, however, is that there would be a clash between two formidable gladiators in the identity politics coliseum: sex—or is it gender?—versus race.

But such clashes are inevitable given that our pandering, virtue-signaling politicians have elevated identity politics over principled reasoning.  In other words, there’s much more craziness to come.
