Chicago: Rahm Emanuel’s New Moonbat Police Chief Blames City’s Epidemic Gun Violence On “Government-Sponsored Racism” And. . . Sarah Palin?…

As GWP notes, he said this at radical leftist and Obama’s spiritual adviser Father Pfleger’s church.

(NBC Chicago) — The pervasion of illegal guns in America’s black and Latino communities is a result of “government-sponsored racism,” akin to “slavery, segregation, black codes [and] Jim Crow,” Rahm Emanuel’s new police chief, Garry McCarthy, told parishioners at St. Sabina’s Church earlier this month.

“This is sensitive. You know, because everybody’s afraid of race. Have you noticed that? Everybody’s afraid of race. I’m not afraid of race,” said McCarthy, who told of growing up in the Bronx with guns, gangs and drugs plentiful.

“Let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting scared? Government sponsored racism.”

“Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy: Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children,” he said.

McCarthy blasted the NRA, telling parishioners that their communities have paid the price while the gun manufacturers are getting “rich and living in gated communities.”

And he told an anecdote of just one night with the New York Police Department. After returning home from investigating a pair of shootings, he said he flipped on the television to relax, only to find “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” being broadcast.

“She was caribou hunting, and talking about the right to bear arms,” he said. “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”

“[McCarthy] got it right on parts and got it wrong on others,” said Shawn Gowder, the Vice President of the Chicago Firearms Safety Association and the Sergeant of Arms for the African American Police League.

    Memorial Day 9-1-1 Calls from Chicago Beaches Reveal Real Concerns

    Updated: Thursday, 23 Jun 2011, 9:42 PM CDT
    Published : Thursday, 23 Jun 2011, 9:12 PM CDT

    By Craig Wall, FOX Chicago News

    Chicago – Call it the tale of the 9-1-1 tapes. And those calls are shedding new light on what really happened on Memorial Day, when Chicago Police shut down North Avenue Beach. But in a twist it seems the real problems were further south, at Oak Street Beach.

    “There’s a fight breaking out on this beach because there’s nothing but animals covering this beach today,” one woman told the 9-1-1 dispatcher.

    A man working a concession stand also called for help.

    “We’re actually doing beach concessions on Oak Street,” he said. “We have a couple of gentlemen that are threatening, actually a few people who are threatening to shoot us,they’re trying to take our own equipment.”

    Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy has maintained that the decision it had nothing to do with roving gangs causing trouble at the beach, but was instead based on concerns about the huge crowds impeding the ability of ambulances to get through to help people falling sick due to the heat.

    Wow Chicago is totally fucked. I’ll bet morale in the police department is sky high after this communist tool has taken over and especially after this utterly irresponsible and incendiary rant. Wonder how he feels about the federal government selling firearms to Mexican drug cartels.

    When Emanuel get done with Chicago it will be a smoking ruin with walled in enclaves for the ruling class and the rest of the city a lawless kill zone. Same plan as Obuttma has for the rest of the country.

    Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with you? Maybe because she’s not a goddamned police officer in New York!

    So I’m a fucking tard for supporting gun rights while never having been present at a shooting investigation? Is that really what this doofus is saying? Holy shit.

    Chicago has high crime rates because it’s a liberal hellhole that makes impoverished blacks dependent on the government, and if they dare try to defend themselves by, say, OWNING A GUN, they get mercilessly persecuted. There is no right to self defense in that place. And this dipshit won’t fix that, AT ALL.

    This is a really sad article for me. I lived in Chicago for a good chunk of my childhood. In a way, it’s always been home. I left before it could affect my politics (Thank God) but I’m a White Sox fan for life. That said, I won’t be going back there for any reason as long as this sort of lunacy rules the city.

    Blacks killing blacks and others with illegal guns. Why not get rid of the illegal guns? Oh that is probably racist! Some states fixed a lot of this problem by allowing concealed carry. A few perps get wasted then they decide that getting killed robbing someone isn’t worth it.

    Oh Really? The promising neurosurgeons and hedge fund traders are getting killed? Maybe it’s the Gang violence? Maybe its that fact folks who did not give a shit about school, did not care about a job, did not care about anything are causing the problem. Maybe, just maybe, some folks find it easier to steal, rob,kill than doing something productive with their lives.

    Sarah Palin is all powerful. Even thugs watch (and are influenced) by her show. LOL

I think it started a month ago when a WZ contributor banned me. I told ZIP about it. He apologized & fixed it. ZIP then, apparently, suspended that contributor. Since that contributor returned a couple of week ago I’ve been banned.

    In the last year I have donated $140 to WZ. Banned or not, this is the best conservative blog.

    I noticed about a week ago that rae4palin was missing. Missed you. Wondered about it.

    You can still comment.. I have no idea why rae4Palin was banished, but obviously you can still post under another name. I’ve been kicked off a few sites, mainly liberal ones (that have subsequently blocked my IP address), but at least one other conservative site for calling Nancy Pelosi a pusbag. Someone decided that my comment was obscene? And it was one of my favorite sites. Lost my gold star and everything………but, as they say, you can’t keep a good man down..so back I go.

    So, go ahead, post under “hotshots” or create another name that we will all recognize, and come back and join the fun.

    We need you…….Palin needs you.

    McCarthy had long since retired from the NYPD when Sarah Palin’s Alalska was on TV. At the time, he was either Newark, NJ Police Director or in between jobs from Newark to Chicago. That comment is perplexing at best.

    He retired as 5th deputy commisioner of NYPD, but prior to that was an effective administrator who was one of that department’s youngest up and coming commanders. He commanded the 33rd pct across the GW bridge from where I worked and was widely respected in the NYPD for his participation in the Bratton/Giuliani crime reduction effort in NYC in the 1990′s

    McCarthy is also well known as a hothead. There was an interaction one of my bosses had with him in 1998 at the NYPD’s annual crime conference where he went ballistic after being asked a simple question regarding the displacement, rather than the actual suppression of crime in the NYPD’s 33rd pct, where McCarthy was a captain, and later a deputy inspector. Additionally, he had a well publicized incident in NJ over a parking ticket his daughter received on the Palisades Interstate Parkway where he was charged under a local ordinance. This nearly derailed his bid for the Newark job, but Corey Booker really wanted him and disregarded it.

    I personally dealt with him when he was a night citywide commander as a deputy inspector inthe NYPD. My cops picked up an NYPD knucklehead who was starting trouble in one of our bars, and wouldnt go away. We finally had to bring her in and notify NYPD IA bureau and have them take her off our hands. McCarthy showed up at my police station at 330 am and was none too happy about having to collect the nitwit. (I dont blame him)

    His comments above are very much in contrast to my personal observations of him. They are probably made out of a desire to please his political masters, who must be absolutely insatiable in Chicago. But the Sarah Palin reference is downright bizarre, especially if he attempted to link it to an NYPD experience, as he was long gone from there before Sarah Palin ever appeared on the national scene.

    You left out the best part of the article. McCarthy took to the microphone after Father Michael Pfleger spoke about gun control. Where’s the separation of church and state they always talk about?
    Too bad we missed his latest speech on The Third Annual Sacred Conversation on SOCIAL JUSTICE at Elmhurst College on March 28, 2011. Guess he had to have something to do while he was suspended from the Catholic Church.

  61. Katherine says:
    June 25, 2011 at 4:17 am

    @Doc

    The stupidity is all yours. Black people are killing each other and other people in large numbers and according to the speech McCarthy made it’s all because of “Federal Laws that facilitate the flow of guns into urban neighborhoods.”

    The majority of guns used in crimes are illegally purchased guns. And young Blacks are killing each other and others and WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO until responsibility is placed on the black community where it belongs.

    But, I guess your racism tops any other concerns. Better to blame white people and keep killing each other, rather than accept responsiblity and stop the murders.

    And BTW, if nobody trusts whites outside of other whites, why is it that so many Asians and Latinos and Middle Easterners cross the street when they see a group of young black men coming? I guess it’s all those Federal Laws…..

    And why do so many people from other nations claw and scratch to get into this predominately white country?

    And one additional point, there have been many black serial killers. More than enough to represent the percentage of blacks in the population of this country. Look it up, that is, if you really WANT the truth……. Somehow I doubt that truth has anything to do with what you want….
