Just as Americans learned how deeply the ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has poisoned the Secret Service by witnessing the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump, DEI We are now learning that the ideology of has done the same thing with the FBI and in New Orleans. Police station.
No matter how you look at it, the investigation began as a DEI clown show. Alecia Duncan, the assistant special agent in charge of the New Orleans FBI office with a nose piercing, stood before reporters as Shamsud Din Jabar lunged at New Year's celebrants on the city's Bourbon Street. At the time, he claimed that he had not carried out a terrorist attack. french quarter.
She formally retorted a few minutes later.
Six months ago, the FBI promoted its DEI hiring policy and thanked Taylor Swift fans on X.
Later, 65-year-old police chief Anne Kirkpatrick, who was fired from the same job in Oakland in 2020, took to the microphone and said she planned to carry out her duties “without fear.”
contradiction
Jabbar, 42, struck a pedestrian on Bourbon Street and was later killed in a gunfight with police.
Wearing a nose ring, which is against FBI rules, Mr. Duncan stood at a microphone and announced that the FBI would take over the investigation. And Jabbar was not a terrorist, she said.
“This is not a terrorist incident,” Duncan said. “So far, have you found any improvised explosive devices?”
Mayor LaToya Cantrell said that's not the case. “The city of New Orleans was affected by a terrorist attack.”
The FBI similarly stated that the “incident” Duncan described was indeed a terrorist attack.
FBI should have known
Contrary to Duncan's statements, the FBI knew exactly what to expect in an attack like the one that killed 14 people.
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last month warned law enforcement about the threat of violence by lone offenders and the potential for vehicular ramming around the holidays, according to two internal memos obtained by CNN.” reported.
Joint bulletins are “shared among law enforcement agencies as needed, typically before the holiday season,” CNN continued.
In a bulletin obtained by CNN, authorities warned that “lone offenders are most likely to pose threats of violence to domestic soft targets during the winter holidays,” referring to individuals acting alone.
“Lone offenders have historically used simple tactics such as knives, firearms and vehicle ramming due to ease of access, ability to inflict mass casualties and lack of necessary training.” said the bulletin, also listing other incidents from the previous year. . …
After a vehicle attack at a Christmas market in Germany last month, DHS distributed a “Critical Incident Memo” to law enforcement agencies summarizing the incident, stating that large gatherings remain potential targets, and that vehicle ramming remains a potential target. He reiterated his warning that this is being misused in the United States. The strategy from earlier.
But perhaps the New Orleans office missed that memo because the agency was focused on promoting DEI.
“Did you know that some of the best special agents in the #FBI never knew they were in law enforcement?” It is written as follows.
The FBI is committed to recruiting agents from a variety of unexpected backgrounds. Sign up to attend our Diversity Recruiting Event on July 17th in Metairie, Louisiana.
In June, the office focused on DEI job fairs.
#FBINewOrleans is hosting a Diversity Agent Recruiting Event and we'd love to meet you! Agents and FBI executives will provide first-hand information about rewarding careers.
Then, in October, the Secretariat proposed the following:
#FBINewOrleans thanks all our new friends/Swifties for providing our folks with a little extra gear this weekend! Everything goes with camo.
Swifties are the captivating fans of Taylor Swift.
One can only wonder what the bigwigs at the New Orleans FBI office were doing when DHS issued the joint bulletin.
The DEI shenanigans in New Orleans are similar to those at the U.S. Secret Service when Kim Cheatle was director.
A key priority for Cheatle was to push women into positions for which they were unfit. One result of that effort was an agent leaving duty to breastfeed a baby during a Trump campaign event.
“Fearless” Police Chief
Secretary Kirkpatrick's statement on January 1st was embarrassing.
“This is not just an act of terrorism. This is evil. And in the face of evil, we have a choice,” the elderly woman said. “You can run away from fear, but you can also stand up strong.”
Kirkpatrick said the city has been “tested by fire before, but fire cleanses and fire makes things stronger.”
After praising the officers who took down Jabbar, she vowed to stay strong.
As Chief of Police for this great city, I promise to be strong, resolute, and fearless.
Kirkpatrick's “strength” was called into question in August when he struck two pedestrians while making a left turn at an intersection in the French Quarter while on duty.
“I just went to the hospital,” Kirkpatrick told reporters.
A police officer was injured, I live in the neighborhood here, and I was just making a left turn there when it happened,” she said.
Studies have shown that older drivers are more likely than younger drivers to collide with pedestrians when turning left at intersections.
In 2020, the city of Oakland fired Kirkpatrick's police chief without cause after he was accused of making false statements about cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a raid.
Kirkpatrick broke up with a much wealthier woman after she sued the city, and the city settled for $1.5 million.
The FBI, which is obsessed with DEI, is also thinking about Kirkpatrick. Her bio on the police department's website describes her as the department's DEI teacher.
Kirkpatrick is a national instructor for the FBI Law Enforcement Enforcement Association Leadership Training Program, where he teaches topics including, but not limited to, bias and diversity, emotional intelligence, key generations, and more.
