You never know what is going to come out of the mouth of a liberal college administrator. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, some left-wing nut says something even stranger. The latest example comes in the form of a panel discussion in which one participant said that “police should stop prosecuting individuals who shoplift from Wal-Mart and Target.”
As reported by MRCtv.org, Everett D. Mitchell, the Director of Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was participating in a discussion titled “Best Policing Practices” when he came up with the profound “logic” that people who steal should not be arrested.
Everett Mitchell: “I just don’t think they should be prosecuting cases for people who steal from Wal-Mart. I don’t think that. I don’t think that Target, and all them other places – the big boxes that have insurance – they should be using the people that steal from there as justification to start engaging in aggressive police behavior.”
To add to the anti-police ideas being pushed at this university, professors Sara L. McKinnon and Karma R. Chavez wrote a letter to the editor in which they call on the police force to stop patrolling certain areas of the city.
We write this as a white lesbian woman and a light-skinned queer Chicana in solidarity with the Young Gifted and Black Coalition. … We urge Koval to sincerely consider the demand for no police interaction. It is not an unreasonable request because for many of us in this city, it is already the reality. We also call on other nonblack people in Madison to think about the privilege of living without an occupying force in your neighborhood.
What is going on here? Have these people lost all touch with reality? I’m sure there are plenty of police officers who would rather not patrol certain areas, but that’s what they do. They put their lives on the line so that others can be safe… and so others, like these so-called “educators” can point fingers and criticize.

I actually agree that the police should stop patroling certain areas of certain cities. If they are seen as an occupying force then move them out and let the rats fend for themselves. We can then sehow long it is before the rats start calling for the occupying force to move back in. We aleady have an idea from what has gone on in Baltimore. First was “We don’t want you here.” then “Oh crap crime is now rampant so please come back.” Liberalism at it’s finest and most hypocritical.
Excellent commentary hawkinoh! The liberals with perpetual welfare, destroyed the black family! Now all that is left, in the inner cities are animals, as these kids have no fathers! Liberalism is pure evil and destroys society!
Planned Parenthood has started eliminating them. Let’s finish it and let them police themselves. When it implodes, they may see the error of their ways, or blame us anyway. Nope, keep the patrols and protect the idiots from themselves.
The comments on Walmart and Target are clearly the anti-capitalist trash they are taught by the Libitards.
Wrong. The police should patrol wherever it is necessary. Selective exclusion of police protection is a totally wrong notion, and any thinking person can see what such a policy would evolve into.
unfortunately, the rats will migrate to other neighborhoods.
De-Policing certain ‘hoods is a fine idea. Acquiesce to their demands. You want it, you got it. Let the anarchists have their way.
Here is the problem:
See at first a while ago, I actually thought the same thing. Still do for the most part….
But ………
1st – Could this be ‘THE PLAN’?
Possible Answer – Is this what is being pushed for. People bail on these and thus allow the beginning of MARTIAL LAW?
Something is going on, that is not the question. The question is: WHAT? & WHY?
Just a thought and nothing more.
Exactly where my own thinking process went jjb54. This modern day movement of BLM feels allot like the radical 1970’s Black Panther Movement. For those not familiar with the history of the Black Panther Movement and the lengths they went to to achieve exactly what the modern day BLM movement is asking; all one needs is a Google search and something to drink while you read.
Of course there is a “thought of grandeurs” plan behind this modern movement. I suggest however it will fall flat on it’s face just as it’s predecessor did in the 70’s. Sadly, many innocent people will be harmed, or worse, killed/murdered.
Do not prosecute, arrest or other wise hold a particular group of people to the laws of the land. Why? Is this the end-run around the fact that so many black males are in jails for crimes? Is this a solve of some sort that makes everyone feel good, even though it’s at the expense of somebody elses dollar? Those box stores will pack up and leave once it becomes clear no profit will be made in those area’s not policed by LEO’s and laws upheld. No jobs, no future, no progress.
Why is it assumed that America is the worlds largest charity for the totally screwed? For those born here or not, for those who do all the complaining but none of the work, for those who have an excuse for every reason they continue to fail; we, the USA, pay for them to ‘feel’ better about themselves. This is no way to parent. This is no way to conduct a charity. Time to stop it!

Actually, the police usually do not patrol these areas. They receive telephone calls from store security for the most part.
That’s a good point Mystic. One of the places i do security work for here in Columbus, mentioned that Target was looking to open a new store a mile or so down the road from where that business was at, but pulled out after they saw the crime rate for that neighborhood.
If stores don’t feel safe, they will simply stop doing business there…
And as to this crap about “Not arresting shop lifters”, why just limit to Walmart/Target etc? Why not just say “Don’t enforce the rule of law period?
IMO that is what he in effect said, “blacks should be immune to the rule of law”..
With ideas like that, this guy could be the next mayor of a large American city! Hell, are his ideas any worse than those of the Commie mayor of NYC?
Mystic. Don’t give the dems the idea to push this guy into a Governors spot/mayoral spot..
This is a perfect example of Liberal beliefs. 😯
Liberals only believe what they WANT to believe. Demonstrating, riots, robbing, stealing, burning has become an accepted pass time entertainment for them. And they believe that it is their civil right to do so. 🙁
Why7 are people sending their children to schools like this ;paying 35K-40K going into debt, to have their children indoctrinated by liberal wackos .The parents bear a great portion of the blame .Since it is a State school ,the parents elect the liberals ‘who then appoint the wackos and then the liberal administrator grants tenure. A simple solution is to not vote Democrat in the first place.
Have not we been witnesses of these people without supervision?. Have we not seen sufficient examples of how they police their own?. Are not the laws of men made, exactly for the purpose for which this lunatic says they should be eradicated, to keep the have not’s from taking freely from the haves?. Is it not the exact job of law enforcement, to keep evil separated from good?.
I have seen and heard many commentaries on this site, and have commented my own logic on a few, however it is difficult for a reasonably thinking human being to accept the illogic, and stupidity shared to the world by the man who speaks without conscience, in the video imbedded in this article. A place on the earth with the likes of those who burn their own businesses, and steal from others for gain, people who are likely paid to live off the backs of the working class. People who are too damn lazy to go out and work to earn those things they do not have, instead of believing they have the right to just go out and take them, under the guise of a riot, began because one of their own law breakers, broke the law, and paid the ultimate price for doing so.
Do these people actually believe that Wal-Mart’s, big 5, target, and all other larger businesses in their areas, were put there for their gain, rather than for them to purchase the things they need, and would like to have?. Is it actually their contention that these businesses have theft insurance, so that people such as they can steal what they want, because most of the businesses have insurance to cover a degree of theft?. These businesses were designed to make money, not loose, or give away high end merchandise to those who wish to steal it from them.
If I were any of these businesses, I would close my doors, and vacate the area, where people actually think they were erected for them to take from. I would move to a area which actually appreciates the businesses for what they are, a means for people to PURCHASE their needs and wants. I certainly would not stay in a area which believes that they are there for the residents to take advantage of.
My apologies, I know my comment may be a bit repetitious, but I am actually stunned at the stupidity displayed by the speaker in the video, and any and all, who believe the same way as he does.
I cannot believe than any human being with a semi-logically thinking mind, could actually blurt out such ignorance, then have the audacity to say he hopes it is being recorded, or taped.
Be careful reasonably thinking Americans, these people actually breed and reproduce. God help us, these people will be leaders of our Country some day, OH WAIT, we already have one.
Does anuone else wonder just where he got the laptop sitting in his lap?. Just askin
“It is not an unreasonable request ”
That’s the problem. These wackos are incapable of knowing what is reasonable and what isn’t reasonable, but THINK they ARE capable!
I’d love to here what this dunderhead things an unreasonable request would be?
Oh i know, having “blacks stop playing the victim card and actually accepting responsibility for themselves”.
EXACTLY, they have not a clue and fail to understand basic ECONOMICS. THE AVERAGE WALMART STORE looses atleast $1,000.000/yr in merchandise [sales value, not cost] and there are a lot of WalMart stores, Who does this BOZO think pays for all that theft? THE CONSUMER and the average WalMart consumer is not at the high end of the economic strata, so this type of suggestion only shows the Academic distain for not only the working class but those who are struggling. Now ramp this up for the Targets’ and all the little stores we do not even know about, and you can see the massive impact on our economy by the LEGAL LOOTING which is taking place, and this guy wants to promote [don’t punish and you will see an explosion of this behavior]. I teach Retail Management, Marketing, Management, and Leadership studies on an Adjunct basis at several Universities that you would recognize; after 35 years of management experience.
When theft from ANYONE is considered a part of “black culture”, taught to them from birth by a single brood sow who most likely dropped out of school in the fourth grade to have her first offspring, is it any wonder why ignorance and anarchy is spreading faster than intelligence and productivity? Stop paying these morons to breed and maybe that will be a start. They have absolutely no moral standard to follow, they believe they DESERVE everything the working people PAY for for free and if they don’t get it fast enough, just STEAL IT!!! No one has ever told them the difference between right from wrong. They just don’t seem capable of understanding the concept that theft is against the law and get upset when the police interfere in their daily business which, by watching the daily news reports, is MAINLY criminal activity.
Taxed.. They DO know right from wrong, they just don’t give a rats behind. They want what they want, and be damned what gets in the way.
BUT i agree, stop funding them popping out babies, and maybe we might see a stop to it.
And these idiots are teaching our young impressionable minds. They should be fired. What has happened to our country? Obama and his ilk is what happened.
We live in the Bizarro world,where up is down and down is up. I hope this nation wakes up soon or we will be a third world country. Wonder what these profs would think then while they are scraping for food, getting a pittance from the dictator Obummer and hoping they don’t get robbed and pillage in the middle of the day when no police are around.
1984 is alive in the world of Obama.
I think the police should add prof mitchell’s house to the no arrest zone matter a fact any crime committed against mitchell should not be considered a crime so no police response on his behalf required.
also post big signs around his house that this is an
“arrest free zone, no person will be arrested for anything done to house of the genius dean of a liberal/socialist/communist university in wisconsin, and are large amounts of cash and jewelry in the house, the police will not answer any calls concerning that address”
just following mckinnon, chavez, mitchells il logoc.
Somewhere in the Constitution, between homosexual marriage, and the right to an abortion ,can be found the right for black people to Steal. murder and rape anyone they want towithout consequences. Just like a woman’s right to sex,without consequences.
I assume this Liberal Professor and his loved ones have need to go shopping occasionally? If police adopt his suggestions, there won’t be many stores left in business. They would be “Legally Looted” in accordance with his wishes. Plus our economy would be so heavily destroyed that no one could pay his high Liberal Professor salary. Result of following this Liberal’s advice? He would get an in-depth, strong, and painful lesson in Reality…and the effect of Liberalism on that Reality. Sadly, we’d all have to suffer with him.
If this Liberal doesn’t want people arrested for committing certain crimes…let’s tell police NOT to prosecute crimes against Liberal Educators. Why would Liberals object? We are just following their example of selective enforcement of laws!
Is he a real Professor? Did he graduate from The University of Phoenix?
Does he know what happened after the first day of protests (Freddie Gray;s death) in Baltimore when the Mayor said that the Police should not go after the rioters and just let them be? Then the rioters took that as a ‘go ahead’ because the police followed the Mayors orders, stayed away, and the rioters went into a rampage.
This professor and the Baltimore Mayor must be related….. or grew up in the same house.
Na.. they are just graduates from the liberal education system..
“I don’t think that. I don’t think that Target, and all them other places – the big boxes that have insurance –”. This is a person involved in the education of our children and he can’t or doesn’t know how to use proper grammar. This country is in big trouble.
He also, for an apparently well-educated person, doesn’t understand basic economics. No business could afford to stay in business, OR pay their employees, if their goods and services were routinely looted by criminals immune from arrest. This Liberal need only look at Ferguson and other cities recently destroyed.
I can’t believe he is a professor he sounds so ignorant. The one sitting next to him is a size and should go on a strict diet.
Great comments all! I agree. It made a thought pop into my head though;. Perhaps the Professor is on to something along the lines of the Sal Alinsky book of ‘rules for radicals’. We know corporate welfare does exist. Perhaps this is merely an idea to extend that welfare to open stores with goods that anyone from that neighborhood could simply walk in and take whatever they want at no cost? Who pays? We, the tax payer of course. It’s EBT welfare on crack; at least that is where the logic follows if you take this absurd idea all the way through to it’s conclusion.
Although I’m certain the Utopian ideal sounds fantastic to this group of people who feel they are under siege and oppressed by ‘the man’, keeping them down; one has to wonder if the socialistic pablum they are being spoon fed by this professor and other like him isn’t for a larger purpose? Riot and looting seems to be the activity de-jour for BLM. Perhaps, just perhaps, this is the next ‘push stone’ for a larger ideal wrapped in an old idea?
Just a thought..

This is once again an enunciation of the doctrine put forward by the white people feigning negritude for personal gain at Black Lies Matter: favored racial groups should be allowed to commit crimes, and whether or not stealing or killing or some other action represents a crime should be determined by the race of the perpetrator
Are taxpayer dollars financing this leftist pesthole? Can’t we stop the funds and shut it down. It serves no useful purpose and is doing a lot of harm. No more federal grants. No more student loans. Cut off its funds and it dies.
Can’t do dat. Das is racist!
Do these words still have the same meaning today as they did when I learned them…obnoxiously stupid, ignorant, idiotic, moronic, ridiculous, dumb, dense, foolish, evil? These are a few that came to my mind as I read about these people and their numbskull ideas. I wonder if they think they are smart and are onto some type of higher thinking or way of life? OK, I better stop laughing. The bad thing about this is there’s more like them, they vote and I think they really believe they’re onto something sensible. This ploy for privilege is no different than the WH ploy for black criminal privilege by being more lenient on black criminals. This is straight from the pit of evil influenced thinking folks…or from the minds of the biggest dumb-s#%ts I’ve ever seen! Oh, was I being politically incorrect or insensitive?…sorry…NOT!
These are the ones teachers kept passing on from grade to grade even though they were failing…even in college. So this is how they turn out as adults!
“I don’t think that Target, and all them other places – the big boxes that have insurance”
I haven’t seen the big box insurance policies, but I’ll bet one of the requirements of the insurance company is that the store PROSECUTE shoplifters, or else the company will not pay the loss!
Bingo, you nailed it!
Bingo. You nailed it.
And were i one of those store insurance companies i would enforce that part of the contract to the fullest. AND see how long those companies refuse to prosecute thieves…
Personally, i feel its time we adopted Saudi’s way of treating thieves and shoplifters. Cut off a finger for the 1st offense, hand for the 2nd.
Four Words; The South Was Right.
OMG, it surely is time for a “thinning of the herd”. It’s small wonder that other countries of the world laugh at us. Anybody know how China handles theives?
They used to chop off hands…and for severe theft offenses, someone might actually have been hanged…
Don’t you love how the two women felt they needed to identify themselves with their most important ‘credentials:’ “as a white lesbian woman and a light-skinned queer Chicana in solidarity with the Young Gifted and Black Coalition”
Identity Politics. Qualifying the ‘validity’ of your opinion by what Identity you possess and who you are solidaritomizing with. Farther from King’s Dream than ever, thanks to Progressives.
So true Jaycephus! I found that rather irritating as I read the article. I suppose I should start writing to my representatives and begin with the same identity politic to get my soon to be minority voice heard? Hi, I”m a blond hair’d, blue eye’d, native born California female that is a hetero married to her partner for over 31 years. I want the moon, and I want it now. Why? Because I want it! There. Think that will fly? Me either. *><*
This entire new philosophy/kinder gentler approach to an old problem has got to be the worst avenue yet in dealing with crime, illiteracy rates, illegitimate (single Mom's)birth rates and unskilled to low skilled laborers. We've many models that show success and achievement within these types of populations. Why are we not using them? Why have we thrown in the towel all of a sudden; giving into what feels like a spoiled child having a full on tantrum. Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights movement of the 60's are all rolling over in their graves! This is not what they envisioned for future generations! It is what Lyndon Johnson hoped for when he opined in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement that they would have to appear to give into the negro in order to herd them like chattel for block votes for democrats for 'generations to come'.
When liberal/socialist professors feed this pablum to these students, they are not helping them in the least. They are following in Lyndon's footsteps to keep them 'under thumb'.
Sad. Just sad.
~M
That made me do a double take as well.. BUT in this current climate, it does seem that the more ‘outrageous’ you identify with in ‘special groups’ the more you are listened to..
I was raised in a gentler era. This truly boggles my mind…..When did this happen to us? When did parents stop teaching that you don’t take things that don’t belong to you? Why is it ‘OK’ to take something from somebody else as long as they have insurance? Wrong is wrong!
String razor wire around the “hoods” and let them try their way. One of the obvious flaws of civilization is that it interferes with natural selection and the trash piles up..
Good point. What ever happened to the days where the week would get weeded out? It seems we spend too much time/money propping UP the week these days.
I think I can make a pretty strong case that every black person in this country is “undocumented”. So any and all of their “anchor babies” should be booted out under Trump’s proposed policy.
Ship these asshats out, problems go away overnight!
That was the main reason Dred Scott was addressed. No such loophole is available for that particular group. Heck, even Indians didn’t get firm citizenship status until 1922! But, no use crying over spilt milk. They are citizens, they are here to stay, and it’s time we start putting feet to fire and make them assimilate or face the very real consequences!
Now we’ve a new group of favorites for the left. The illegal immigrant. We’d better get going shoving them through the large loophole Reagan’s amnesty left us in the revised 14th amendment 1985 version. If we don’t, we’ve another ‘class’ of supposed minorities that will be an even larger issue then this current one is. Whole thing is enough to make your hair curl all by itself!

This is what we have teaching our kids it’s not only in college it starts in grammar school.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They have jokes!
This what happens with affirmative action. People who have no business being there with no intellectual ability of accomplishment are given jobs they do not deserve and then think they are actually qualified to open their mouths. Academia is a fools’ paradise. If the GOP candidates were smart, they would call for a boycott of all liberal institutions and media – some like Princeton have oodles of cash, but others would have to listen. Why send your id to have him brainwashed to hate everything decent???? Why patronize companies and advertisers that are working against you???? I boycott a lot of companies and media outlets but many think that is looney. It is looney NOT to.
That’s why we need to start getting parents to realize that when they send their kids to these places they are throwing their money away indoctrinating their kids into the lunacy of the left..
The “Peter Principle” is alive and well at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Anyone surprised?
I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison website and searched for Everett D. Mitchell and Director of Community Relations. I didn’t get any hits on either term at their site.
I wanted to ask Everett D. Mitchell if he had home insurance, it usually covers theft. I need a few items, I’m sure you won’t mind, and don’t call the police, you have insurance.
I’m not sure Walmart has shoplifting insurance anyway, in order for an insurance company to write such a policy, they would need to charge more than Walmart’s shoplifting losses every year. It is more likely the $3 Billion in yearly theft losses at Walmart is paid by the honest people in higher costs.

He’s the head pastor at Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church and you will probably have better luck reaching him here –
http://www.christsolidrock.org/
That;s a good point Qmavam. Does this dunderhead have home insurance? If so, steal from HIM. I am sure he wouldn’t mind.
This is why Madison Wisconsin is considered 76 sq miles surrounded by reality.
This is what black lives matter ia all about. Only criminal black lives matter to them. That 9 year old black girl shot while lying on a bed doing homework they cared nothing about. But if the cops track down her killer. And he pulls a gun on police and they need to shoot him and kill him. They will protest for the scum murderer. And villanize the police. But the innocent child he killed doesn’t matter. They want criminals to have free reign. They want criminals in prison deemed innocent and released and no one to ever be arrested again. They want chaos and crime to reign supreme. These idiots need locked up themselves. These are sick evil people that should be shut up everytime they surface.
well. i like it. good policy. there’s a whole bunch of stuff i need and i have to wait to afford to buy it little bits at a time. so i’ll just go in with my list and pick up a few things. me and winona ryder.
i have to admit that when a friend of mine worked in the parakeet department at woolworth’s, when she turned around i stole an ann blythe paper dolls cut out book. i have been remorseful ever since.
i hid it from my folks of course, who would have killed me for doing that. dopey white folks boundries, truth telling, no looking at someone else’s paper, nation of laws culture.
