Victor Davis Hanson: Crime as Politics

PJ Media has the latest article from Victor Davis Hanson:

There are tragic self-corrections in politics. For the next few years, police will weigh the dangers of intervening in incidents in which African-American youths confront authorities, and too often abdicate — until crime rates inch back up, cities like New York revert to their 1970s status or present-day Chicago, the public demands recalibration, and we go back to proactive policing. Similarly, bloc ethnic voting will create backlashes or counter-movements in kind (will there be a day when conservative black Congress people outnumber those in the Black Caucus?) and we will see ethnic candidates run as individuals, in fear that appeals to the color of our skins rather than our character spell suicide.

We'd like to thank Victor Davis Hanson for linking to us on this one. No word yet on this story from Rahm Emanuel or Chicago Alderman Ed Burke.
