The Case Against the New Black Panthers

The Case Against the New Black Panthers - Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online
After all, “the boots were no different from a pair my husband owns.”
Jack Boot, Jack Ass!?!
What happened to Dr. Thernstrom's thought process after being on the Government Civil Rights Commission? 'Bureaucratisation'?
"And then there’s the “King’s” billy club, the one Shabazz was brandishing and slapping against his palm. Dr. Thernstrom tells readers this is not really what “armed” means in our civil-rights jurisprudence. Describing someone as “armed,” she insists, “suggests guns.” That simply is not true. And it would certainly come as news to the L.A. cops convicted of civil-rights violations for beating Rodney King with billy clubs. And I bet Abner Louima can rest easier now, too: NYPD officer Justin Volpe may have sodomized him with that wooden stick, but at least he wasn’t armed."
