The Latest In Woke Hysteria: California Bill Claims Police DOGS Are Racist!
This is how we go from having a national conversation about the fractured relationship between African-Americans and police to ‘get rid of the racist cop dogs’

Woke hysteria has hit an all-time ridiculous height as far-Left California lawmakers have introduced a bill to stop the use of DOGS from crime enforcement because…they’re RACIST!
Assembly Bill 42, introduced by far-Left California Assembly members Corey Jackson and Ash Kalra will “end a deeply racialized and harmful practice that has been a mainstay in America’s history of racial bias and violence against Black Americans and people of color,” according to the Los Angeles Times. Jackson says “The use of police canines has inflicted brutal violence and lifelong trauma on Black Americans and communities of color.”
Of course, this is all absurd, and emblematic of how Black communities nationwide and especially in California have been failed by Leftist activists they somehow continue voting into office. According to the Neighborhood Scout crime index, Assemblyman Jackson’s city of Parris, CA is safer than only 10% of American cities (likely other Dem-run crime meccas), which means citizens of any color would be safer living in virtually any other city in America.
I speak a lot about the Woke agenda and how it has insidiously affected every major institution and aspect of American life, from education to our United States Military and, of course, public safety. I say this as a Black American, a military veteran, and someone who genuinely loves and advocates for America. What is Wokeism? I believe it can be defined as well-intentioned policies or ideas intended to correct historical injustice that have been perverted by far-Left agendas. This is how we go from having a national conversation about the fractured relationship between African-Americans and police to “get rid of the racist cop dogs.”
Wokeness is not only a cancer that will spread rapidly and destroy America’s culture from the inside out if it continues unabated, but cases of Woke hysteria like this and many others will actually make the lives of everyday Americans much less safe.
But, of course, the actual safety of citizens takes a backseat to the Woke agenda and ideology that is pushed by Jackson, Kalra, and their ilk in Democrat-run cities all across the country. To them, the actual safety of citizens isn’t as important as engaging in Woke lingo gobbledygook disguised as legislation in order to appease the whims of the far-Left activists who rarely live in the communities they’re allegedly “advocating” for.
When anyone bothers to listen to the actual citizens of lower-income or dangerous communities, they actually advocate for more policing, not less. And eliminating DOGS from policing because Jackson and Kalra have twisted themselves into rhetorical and linguistic knots to paint them as “racist” will not make these communities safer.
DOGS are racist. This is where we are in America. This is where Wokeness has taken us, and this is the idea of the feeble minds that California voters have elected into office. Here’s the truth: we will not be able to vote our way out of the Wokeness that is attacking America from top to bottom. Politicians can only do so much. What we can do is reject the Woke lunacy that has infected our culture. That starts with acknowledging reality. And the reality is that DOGS – no matter what Leftist activists will try to make you believe – CANNOT be racist.
