So I guess I p*ssed a couple of people off this week…
You see, a few days ago, I sent out an email newsletter about my growing concern over the build-up of tension around allegedly racially-motivated deaths at the hands of police officers.
I wasn’t making a racial statement. I wasn’t making a political statement.
Yes, racism exists.
Yes, there are bad cops.
Yes, there is racial profiling.
Yes, people die who shouldn’t have been killed.
Of course EVERYONE has the right to the due process of the law – regardless of your age, color, or socio-economic status.
Here’s what I AM saying…
Words matter.
And the words I’m hearing across the entire spectrum of organized protesters… the media… and isolated spokespeople for activist groups like Black Lives Matter… are…
… “convict officers of shootings or there’s going to be a WAR in the streets”.
These are words we ALL need to be concerned about from a “practical protection” perspective.
Civil unrest, riots, and looting are caused by two things…
… outrage and opportunity.
As I’ve been reporting, the trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd hasn’t been the “slam-dunk” conviction path that proponents of racial injustice are hoping for.
Frankly, the State’s prosecution team has screwed up MANY times and it’s VERY possible that Officer Chauvin could go free.
If Chauvin isn’t convicted as “guilty”, I DO believe there’s going to be a war in the streets.
We will see riots, tear gas, burning buildings, police cars on fire, buildings and businesses looted, and attacks – maybe even killings – of innocent civilians at human barricades and maybe even in homes – regardless of where you live.
Think I’m overreacting?
I hope so.
But Lauren Victor – the 49 y.o. woman who was surrounded by an angry mob of BLM protesters, while eating at an outdoor table at a restaurant, because she wouldn’t raise her hand in solidarity…
25 y.o. Berlinda Nibo – the black woman physically attacked by a pro-Trump mob as she was simply trying to walk home because she wouldn’t remove her mask at their taunting…
The Milwaukee residents who had rocks and bricks thrown indiscriminately through their front windows as BLM rioters plowed through their front lawns…
The mother of Secoria Turner – the 8 y.o. girl who was shot in the backseat of the car as they tried to navigate through a human roadblock of protesters following a fatal police shooting…
And the McCloskeys, who saw a mob forcibly break into their “rich people” neighborhood to “make a statement”…
I don’t think any of these innocent victims would think I’m overreacting.
Neither should you.
At Warrior Life, we believe in being Self-Made… Self-Reliant… and Self-Protected!
I don’t care what color you are… who you voted for… or what you think about who should be put behind bars.
Death and destruction doesn’t discriminate.
When a crisis hits, YOU are the only one you can count on.
And if there IS a “war in the streets” coming, you and I both know that you can’t count on the police to be there to protect you and your family.
THEY will be positioned around city government buildings and police stations to protect the centers of the infrastructure.
They won’t be able to stop the rocks being thrown… the buildings being looted… or any attack you may be subject to if you suddenly find your area engulfed in chaos.
That’s on YOU my friend and fellow “warrior”.
My goal is only to give you the tools to be able to stay safe and protect those you love.
And I’ve decided that next week, I’m going to show you EXACTLY how to do that.
I don’t have all the details for you just yet, but I’ll get word out at the beginning of the week.
