Frederick County, Maryland sheriff Chuck Jenkins (R), accused a Democratic county council member Kai Hagen of putting one of his deputies at risk by intervening in a traffic stop involving a Black motorist--a risk the councilman had no business being involved in.
"The actions of Councilman Hagen were unlawful, totally inappropriate, unnecessary, and created both an officer safety issue and traffic safety issue," Jenkins wrote in an email to County Executive Jan Gardner and the council leadership. "His actions created an unnecessary risk to himself, my deputy and other motorists."
But perhaps Hagan believed he was saving the Black driver from the clutches of an evil officer of the law because the deputy was White and, according to Critical Race Theory, all White people are racists, especially those who don't believe they are and don't see race as an issue that should divide us. It's a perfect illogical logic trap.
"He [Hagan] demonstrated a complete disregard for the safety of anyone involved, and disregard for the law," the letter continues.
The pair got into their verbal scrap during a Wednesday radio interview, with Jenkins calling Hagen’s actions "outrageous" and asking, "Who the hell does he think he is?"
Obviously, Hagan puts himself in the same category as Miep Geis, or any of the others who harbored the Jewish child Anne Frank and her family and hid her from the Nazis during the Second World War. Hagan sees himself as a legend--a legend in his own mind.
"My wife and I were driving up Route 15," Hagen said after calling into the show. "We noticed that a deputy was pulling over a car that wasn't speeding, so we didn't know what that was all about, and obviously it could be a lot of different things. And as we drove past ... we noticed that it was a Black driver."
Apparently, in Hagan's analytic mind, the only reason a deputy should pull a car over is for speeding.
"I was polite to him, and we left as soon as one very basic question was answered," Hagen claimed, also saying his car was mostly on the road but "ever so slightly" off, in the spirit of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots with their arson, looting, street violence and several killings were "mostly peaceful."
Hagan, who has served as a councilman since 2018, said in the interview that he wasn’t "saying that the deputy did anything wrong" before going after Jenkins during the call.

No, the only person that did anything wrong seems to be Hagan.
"...You don't believe that there's any such thing as systemic racism in — not only Frederick County but law enforcement in the United States," Hagen said, failing to point out exactly which "systems" he was referring to that are racist.

It seems as though the Civil Rights Act made systemic racism illegal. In fact, the only current racism that favors one group over others is the Affirmative Action laws that favor Blacks over Whites and Asians, but we aren't allowed to say that.
"That's correct. I do not," Jenkins responded. "If there's a racist on the line, it's you, my friend."
Hagan had no business [note the word 'business' has 'busy' as its root] interfering with the lawful process the deputy was conducting. In fact, the deputy should have given him a traffic ticket for the way he parked, but he didn't.
And Jenkins is correct: treating Black people as perpetual victims who are less capable of dealing with their own issues, infantilizing them, having them look up to the woke White person for support, is the hard bigotry of low expectations.
Hagan is a bigot.
