Michigan Red Flag Laws And Democrat Double Standards

So the badly flawed Michigan Red Flag Law has been signed into law, and those who have signed it have yet to point out a single incident in the past that would have actually been prevented by its existence.

Quite a few Michigan County Sheriffs have expressed reservations with the lack of due process in the law and stated they will not enforce it.

This has further revealed that for Michigan Democrats,  when it comes to standards, that if they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Both Governor Whitmer and Attorney General Nessel are absolutely aghast and dismayed at the thought that the law might not be enforced by law enforcement or county prosecutors:

For those who are in law enforcement who refuse to enforce these important orders, let me say this loudly and clearly: I will make certain that I will find someone with jurisdiction who will enforce these orders," Attorney General Dana Nessel said.

Note this is the same AG Nessel who, less than a year ago, when enforcement of a law was on the subject of abortion, took the following stance:

Nessel says she won’t enforce the ban in Michigan, along with at least a dozen law enforcement officials across the country – a bold statement that sets the US up for a complex legal landscape with different enforcement regimes in different states, and even within them.

Governor Whitmer had this to say on the potential that a prosecutor or sheriff may not enforce the Red Flag law:

When it does take effect, Whitmer told reporters, law enforcement will be expected to enforce a judge's order.

"Every prosecutor has taken an oath to uphold the laws of the state of Michigan, and that's the expectation," said Whitmer, who did a stint as Ingham County's prosecutor before running for governor in 2018.

Verily, note well that this is the same Governor Whitmer who having taken an oath to uphold the laws of this state, that when the question came up on enforcing an abortion ban law in this state immediately sued the state to prevent that enforcement and ensure the law was not upheld. Again this was less than a year ago and they've both now flipped their principles as to the enforcement of laws 180 degrees.

Wonderful consistency there on their part, isn't it? Then again it is about power and politics, not principled enforcement of laws.

So When Exactly Is It Acceptable For A Politican To Make Clearly Racist Statements?

Imagine what would be the reaction if a prominent politician running a major county in a state publicly said these things in an op-ed in a major newspaper:

"If [the] County's White leadership of faith-based, business, educational, political, community groups and grassroots organizations had united our support behind a single consensus candidate, rather than eight White candidates entering the race and duking it out amongst themselves — thereby fracturing our voting power at such a critical time — we would not be in this position."

"Such a travesty would essentially be the same result as having no White representation at all, only worse."

"This could be the first time that [our city], doesn’t have White congressional representation [ ]. Disenfranchised.  Although we had the power to prevent this, we were unable to unify to use it. And this is what we are left with."

"Ever since I was first elected [], I have nurtured a desire to use my position as best I could to solidify White leadership and White voting power throughout the state of Michigan."

and finish off with:

"As an elected official who represents all [ ] County residents, I feel it necessary to add that this is not about granting priority to any group over another, nor should this be misconstrued as anti-Black or any other race."

I daresay such a politician would be run out of town on a rail, and rightly so.

Except in this case he won't be, nor do we have to imagine a politician saying these things, but we just have to replace the word White in the proceeding statements with the word Black, and in the finishing paragraph shift from anti-Black to anti-White and you'll have the piece published by Wayne County [the county that contains Detroit] Executive Warren Evans.
