America's Rogue Cops Are Not Just "A Few Bad Apples"

As Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley famously commented during the Democratic National Convention riots in 1968.

"The confrontation was not created by the police; the confrontation was created by the people who charged the police. Gentlemen, let's get the thing straight, once and for all. The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder."

To repeat: "The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder."

To paraphrase: "Trump isn't in the White House to govern. He's in the White House to ensure that chaos prolongs the violent oppression that about half the population has become conditioned to accept as "government."

Near the end of a 2016 Republican presidential candidates' debate, Jeb Bush turned to Malignant Messiah and said: "You are the chaos candidate" --- a line that rivals Hillary's "basket of deplorables" as the most insightful observation made by a presidential candidate in our last quadrennial election.
