The Week In Woke

Babylon Bee:

Moronic DEI degenerate Don Lemon demands a court dismiss the charges against him for invading a church to scream at the attendees, gaysplaining that Drumpf is just obsessed with him.

Don Lemon wants a federal judge to throw out the criminal charges against him stemming from an anti-ICE demonstration that disrupted a church service in Minnesota, with the former CNN anchor arguing that the prosecution is politically motivated because of President Donald Trump's longstanding dislike of him.

Lemon's attorneys filed a motion seeking dismissal of the federal civil-rights charges, claiming his prosecution violates the First Amendment and is the product of President Trump's alleged "animus" toward the journalist.

"The record could not be more clear that Mr. Lemon has been a persistent target of President Trump's ire before the events in Minnesota," Lemon's attorneys wrote, according to Variety.

The filing further alleges that the Justice Department "acted on the President's animus by filing unprecedented charges against a journalist for doing his job."

That's Lemon's argument. Federal prosecutors have alleged something considerably different: that Lemon's conduct went beyond simply observing and reporting on a demonstration that entered a church while congregants were attempting to worship.
What Happened Inside Cities Church

...

According to the Justice Department, Lemon was charged with conspiracy against the right of religious freedom at a place of worship under 18 U.S.C. § 241 and injuring, intimidating, or interfering with the exercise of religious freedom at a place of worship under 18 U.S.C. § 248.

The latter statute is part of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, which also contains protections for people exercising their religious rights at places of worship.

The DOJ eventually charged dozens of people in connection with the incident.

Lemon has pleaded not guilty.

His defense now hinges heavily on the contention that, regardless of what the demonstrators themselves were doing, he was present solely as an independent journalist covering their actions.

The left has ginned up another George Floyd hoax, this time claiming that violent, knife-armed man attacking cops shouldn't have been shot because he's black.

Yes, that's pretty much their argument. No one would make this preposterous case if cops shot a knife-wielding, out-of-control, violent white man.

The woke DA of Madison, WI is determined to put cops in jail for defending the public and their own lives, and went so far as to make the cop's name public to put his life in danger and subject him to Antifa Justice, the only true justice to the left.

Madison police officer Kiel Baitinger-Peterson survived an encounter with a man armed with a knife. Now his name is public, his family's safety is a concern, and precautions are being taken to protect them.

Welcome to the second ordeal faced by an officer who already survived the first one.

PBS Wisconsin (emphasis mine):

Investigators on Aug. 10 released the name of the Madison police officer who shot and killed a 38-year-old Black man in July -- a shooting that was captured on video and sparked protests that put Wisconsin's capital city on edge over how authorities treat people of color.

Kiel Baitinger-Peterson, a white officer with nearly 11 years' experience in law enforcement, fired the shots that killed Corey Ruiz on July 22, the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement. Baitinger-Peterson was one of four officers who surrounded Ruiz, who was on a bike, in response to calls about someone who was checking out parked cars and an alleged burglary attempt, police said.

The shooting sparked days of protests and calls from the Black community for Madison to address racial justice issues.

Baitinger-Peterson did not reply to an email seeking comment.

...

The Wisconsin Department of Justice identified Baitinger-Peterson Monday as the officer who fatally shot 38-year-old Corey Ruiz on July 22. The facts released so far are remarkably clear. Police responded after reports of someone checking parked vehicles and an alleged burglary attempt.

Ruiz fled on a bicycle; four officers later encountered him near South Baldwin and Williamson streets, and a struggle followed.

Ruiz brandished a knife and injured Baitinger-Peterson. Two other officers tried Tasers, which failed.

Baitinger-Peterson fired his weapon; another officer was also injured. Investigators recovered a fixed-blade knife at the scene.

...

Yet long before investigators finished their work, Madison Alder Noah Lieberman publicly called Ruiz's death "absolutely unacceptable" and wrote that he found it difficult to imagine any justification for the officers' actions.

He encouraged people sharing his outrage to join peaceful protests. Police Chief John Patterson hadn't yet been able to answer Lieberman's questions about precisely how quickly events unfolded.

Now the public has Baitinger-Peterson's name.

Wisconsin Professional Police Association Executive Director Jim Palmer says he's deeply concerned about the safety and privacy of Baitinger-Peterson, his family, and the other officers.

Palmer says officials are taking those concerns seriously and have put appropriate precautions in place.

Think about what those words mean.

A cop with nearly 11 years of law enforcement experience leaves home one morning, gets injured by a man wielding a knife, survives, and later learns his wife, children, parents, or whoever else shares his life may need protection because strangers now know exactly whom to hate.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who's been crawling from racial scene to racial scene and represents Ruiz's family, has already called for Baitinger-Peterson to be charged.

There's another attempt to hang a cop for defending himself in Colorado. A black man -- of course; this would not be "murder" if it were a white man -- kept advancing on a cop who repeatedly told him to stop advancing on him. The man also kept shouting to his son to pick up the gun he had tossed on the ground, to shoot the cop, of course.

Ultimately, the cop shot the man who would not stop advancing on him and would not stop urging his son to pick a gun off the ground.

So it's another George Floyd hoax.

Officer Charles Neely repeatedly backs away as Stubblefield advances on him, while Stubblefield can be heard telling his son to retrieve a gun from the ground. Neely keeps retreating until he's being forced toward the street--and only then does he fire.

I've watched the footage. I don't see murder. I see an officer using deadly force in defense of his life.

So how did prosecutors get a murder indictment?

The left is pushing the idea -- they don't dare say this aloud, but this is what they're fighting for -- that black men may veto a cop's arrest. They can simply decide they don't want to be arrested, and violently resist arrest, and the cop is then obligated to Respect the Arrest-Veto of a Black Man and let him go.

Obviously, we cannot allow members of a specific race to decide that they are immune to the law.

But that's what the left is insisting on.

And they also insist we infinitely indulge teen takeovers.

Meanwhile, in between insisting that black people are immune to the law, CNN spends its time pushing hoax stories about black people being lynched by whites.

In the real world, obviously dangerous head-case perverts like this are infinitely indulged.

Woke One was craaaazy, man. By the way, did you know that all countries, pastimes, sports, hobbies, cities, states, and people generally are "too white"

Cambridge isn't sending its best:

The Spectator @spectator

We can reveal that a former supporter of Hizb ut-Tahrir, now banned as a terror group, has been appointed assistant research professor of education at Cambridge, in the same faculty as Arday.

Farah Ahmed has explicitly attacked 'western education' as a 'threat' to Muslims, condemned democracy and integration, and criticised British schools for teaching pupils that child marriage is wrong.

During her time at Cambridge, she has written that the Islamic concept of education is sharply opposed to 'gaining literacy and numeracy and other disciplinary skills demonstrated through qualifications'.

These statements are part of her long record of bigoted, extremist and separatist views on education.

Woke 1 was craaazy, man.
