Rioting at this weekend's Washington, D.C. gripe-fest celebrating the 20th anniversary of the endlessly hyped, misnamed Million Man March, seems like a definite possibility.

Just this week 12 people were arrested in Hartford, Conn., for disorderly conduct after blocking traffic and access to the University of Hartford as they chanted “Black Lives Matter!” After demonstrators refused to stop sitting and standing in the road, they were arrested.

While protest-related arrests aren't necessarily cause for much concern, they are just the tip of the iceberg. As Breitbart News reports

Like many Democrat-run cities across the country, Hartford experienced a spike in murders this past summer following the “uprisings” in Ferguson [Missouri] and Baltimore [Maryland] and attacks of police officers by Black Lives Matter activists. As of August, Hartford had the highest homicide rate of any New England city.

The haters from Hartford are headed for Washington, D.C.

Members and supporters of Nation of Islam, Black Lives Matter, and a staggering array of militant black nationalist and left-wing hate groups are scheduled to converge on the National Mall on Saturday. The official theme for the event, "Justice or else," which is a bit more concise than the "No justice! No peace!" cry of modern American rioters and looters, seems to foreshadow trouble to come.

U.S. Capitol Police wisely issued an advisory to its 1,800 officers warning that Nation of Islam's participation in the march would increase the likelihood of violence at the event. The document stated with complete accuracy that the cultish group's incendiary racist leader, Louis Farrakhan, “has been accused of inciting violence against both Caucasians and police officers.”

The memo acknowledged that the original Million Man March years ago, which the National Park Service at the time estimated had merely 400,000 in attendance, was not violent, but prudently cautioned that “given today’s negative racial climate and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement,” the second march this weekend “may not be as peaceful.”

But in the nation's capital, common sense and forthrightness are career-killers. Political correctness soon forced that police department, which patrols the United States Capitol complex in Washington, D.C., and neighborhoods around it, to tuck tail and walk back the warning.

Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said the surprisingly controversial warning “does not reflect the viewpoint or values of the United States Capitol Police, nor was it intended to provide instruction or guidance to our employees.”

Astonishingly, James Konczos, who as president of the police union is supposed to be looking out for the interests of his members, was even more politically correct than Dine. He lambasted the force's leadership for what he called “race-baiting” rhetoric.

Ignoring the routine, inflammatory comments by members of Nation of Islam and Black Lives Matter, Konczos told the Washington Post, “You can’t have people putting out inflammatory comments and not holding them accountable. We’re a professional police organization without professional leadership.”

“Our officers are well aware of the current problems facing law enforcement, so there was no need for this newsletter to be written, let alone released,” Konczos reportedly whined in a letter to police overseers. He absurdly argued that memo, not the march participants themselves, “has not only jeopardized the safety of the officers working the event, but the general public who will be in the area on October 10th.”

It can be argued that it is a gross dereliction of duty for Konczos to allow his members to be lulled into an unjustified sense of complacency. He ought to be helping them to prepare for the march and protect themselves by providing them a realistic assessment of the dangers they are about to face, but his first priority appears to be pandering to the racial-grievance industry.

Black Lives Matter, of course, is no run-of-the mill protest movement. It is a violent, racist, Marxist insurgency that embraces violent attacks on police and white Americans. It is animated by a hatred of normal American values. Its members idolize convicted, unrepentant black militants and cop-killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu Jamal and have declared "war" on law enforcement.
