In George Orwell’s dystopian novel,Nineteen Eighty-Four, public employees must participate in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate.
Participants gather in a room and scream at images of their supposed political opponents on a screen. They whip themselves into an ideological frenzy.
In Los Angeles, something similar happensonce a week at the Police Commission.
It happened again this week, when a crowd of haters showed up againto scream at policeand to harass journalists.
The radicals are a disgrace to themselves and to the cause they supposedly represent.
Black Lives Matter and other police reform organizations arose to give voice to legitimate grievances in minority communities.
The protest movement these organizations build demanded accountability from law enforcement.
But those whoshow up at the Police Commissionare simply performance artists, determined to disrupt everything around them. They don’t care who they attack or whom they hurt.
It’s mob rule — or worse, because at least a mob sometimes has the excuse of being a spontaneous gathering.
