The Reverend Jeremiah Wright was more or less unknown before Barry Obama ran for President. One of Wright’s more famous idioms, perhaps due to the frequently shared recording of him saying it, was that after 9/11, America’s chickens were coming home to roost. Much like Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth, it still has legs.
A phraase meant to infer one thing but useful for so many others in “right back at you” fashion.
Today’s roosting chicken lesson comes to us courtesy of the Summer of Love, BLM, and the Defund movement. A stupid idea based on a problem created by Democrats whose goal is chaos, disorder, and – I have long posted – a nationalized police force controlled form inside the Beltway in DC.
Pittsburgh’s Bureau of Police is responding to staffing shortages by foregoing any officer presence in dispatch offices 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. daily.
The Daily Mail reported that the cut was announced last month by Pittsburgh police chief Larry Scirotto, who noted, “Data said that from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m that we had 8% of our call volume, yet we had 33% of our personnel working during those periods of time.”
Scirotto’s decision comes as the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has dwindled to just 740 officers.
Great news for the people of Pittsburgh if you think the cops are racists. Fewer of them are available less often, on top of the already declining racism and oppression announced in February.
In late February, Breitbart News pointed out Scirotto also made clear officers would not be responding to 911 calls that are not reporting in-progress emergencies, regardless of the time of day the calls came in.
Pittsburgh should see an even more precipitous decline in oppressive police racism. Being a minority victim of crime will, more than likely, continue to rise. According to Neighborhood Scout, Pittsburg is “safer” than only six other places in America. You have a 1 in 33 chance of being a victim of property crime and a 1 in 177 chance of being a victim of violent crime.
There are an average of 187 crimes per square mile, so if you think you might soon be a victim of crime, try to avoid that between 3 am and 7 am, which is as counterintuitive as it sounds. Given the opportunity, criminals will pick the path of least resistance, and Pittsburgh just told them when that might be.
