Historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday that America is "right in the middle of a cultural revolution" and that "we can't look for logic and rationality that doesn't exist."
Hanson also said that the Atlanta police officers involved in the shooting of Rayshard Brooks over the weekend were facing a "lose-lose proposition" the moment they responded to the 911 call.
"In the police mentality, here's this sequence of events that they would have to follow in revolutionary times," Hanson said. "They probably have to say, 'Sorry, if there's somebody [who's] drunk and is going to endanger people ... we're just not going to go there because it's not going to work out for us.' It started out OK, but when he decided to resist arrest, the police would have to say they don't want the hassle and go... And when he hit the police, they're not going to hit back."
He added that Americans in major cities should start expecting busy signals when they dial 911, and that it may continue until a prominent white liberal can't get a hold of the police.
"If it's going to end, it is when somebody very powerful... I think probably white, affluent, progressive, call up 911 and gets a busy signal. And then, then we're going to see something just like with #MeToo," he said. "Once they went after liberal progressive celebrities and they denied them due process, statutes of limitation, cross-examination, suddenly we ended up with nobody believing Tara Reade anymore."
