What we have here is a "catastrophizing" event...and it's not just at Yale!

[healthmyths]

In “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argued that too many college students engage in “catastrophizing,” which is to say, turning common events into nightmarish trials or claiming that easily bearable events are too awful to bear. After citing examples, they concluded, “smart people do, in fact, overreact to innocuous speech, make mountains out of molehills, and seek punishment for anyone whose words make anyone else feel uncomfortable.”
The New Intolerance of Student Activism

This is such a good term and I will be using it EVERY TIME we have one of those molehills made into a mountain event...i.e. Michael Brown the criminal shot, or Tayvon Martin again a criminal shot... or any of the mass shootings! "Catastrophized" Blown way way out of proportion.

The major BLAME though is the MSM and the need for news to fill the 24 hour news cycle!
The solution is simple though.
WAIT! WAIT all you idiots that read the headlines and jump hysterically at what you read!
WAIT! Think. Research. Find out the truth that for example this "hands up don't shoot" crowd after
Michael Brown.... do you think if just a few of the many people that at first had sympathy for this had just waited. See what the official investigation showed. You would have found out Brown attacked the officer!
The officer responded as any normal person would when attacked...attack back!

But no people jumped to conclusions. Made protests. And of course were always available when a
news crew was around!

How ridiculous these people are..."catastrophizing" a CRIMINAL attack!

The Thought Police aren't that smart. White trash have always operated in a political correct style subculture. It's always about this group or that with them.

The Jews who introduced this subculture to the intelligensia were from poorer backgrounds. They didn't entirely devise the "culture of critique", it was a part of their own cultural background which they magnified because they thrived in it.

It was an evil thing to do, lowering the bar of our intelligensia.

You mean like they did with FEMA prisons, death panels, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the War on Christmas, the BLS jobs report, The claim that Obama's skeet shooting picture was a fake, the nearly three decades of fake claims that the right has made about Hillary, and all the other crap that the right blows out of proportion? Is that the kind of dumb exaggeration you are talking about?

goosey is right about his assertion that the cultural background of jews
includes a "culture of critique" and he is right in asserting that jews
thrive in it. And he is also correct in asserting that jews introduced
it to his "intelligentsia" wherever they were -------and thereby created
a monster-------thus proving the adage "CAST NOT YOUR PEARLS
BEFORE SWINE" utterly and profoundly important. The adage is
talmudic

difference is, cons will eventually wonder away from a topic while leftist will start a movement based on non-facts.

I'd be willing to be that there's been more black v black murders in Chicago this year than black v cop shootings in America.

But are they out protesting in front of where gang bangers live?

Prove to me that the majority of cops don't act professionally BECAUSE here are the FACTS dummy!
DEAL with FACTS!

FACTS ARE 98.727% of the 900,000+ law enforcement officers do act professionally!

From January 2010 through December 2010 the National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project recorded 4,861 unique reports of police misconduct that involved 6,613 sworn law enforcement officers and 6,826 alleged victims.

4,861 – Unique reports of police misconduct tracked
6,613 – Number of sworn law enforcement officers involved (354 were agency leaders such as chiefs or sheriffs)
6,826 – Number of alleged victims involved
247 – Number of fatalities associated with tracked reports


This works out to NOW TO ALL you cop haters, what is the percent of bad cop reports to total number of cops???? 0.53476%!!!
A little over 1/2 of 1 percent in case you people couldn't figure that out!
NOW even more dramatic is look at above chart... See "Excessive Force" 23.8% of all the
4,861 reports... or 1,156 where excessive force... (most likely against blacks I'm sure!!) OR again
condescendingly speaking to you and your... that is a little over 1/10th of 1 percent 0.1273%!

Now explain to me why it is worth it to destroy the 900,000+ good cops by calling "murderers murderers"

Nobody said all cops were bad. There is no way to tell which ones are professional, or which ones will kill you for the fun of it. As long as they continue to close ranks and protect the bad ones, their reputation will not improve.

Maybe in your tiny mind there is a crisis. The fact is 99.9% of police officers go through their work day without incident.
Your sides's obsessive focus on the 0.1% bad apples lends itself to things like the racist BLM movement and that idiotic worthy of scorn boycott of the MO Univ football team boycott.
You have no credibility.
