In recent months we have heard from so many people that minority lives matter but one Obama aide evidently doesn’t believe that applies when the life involved happens to be a man whom she suspects of cheating. Barvetta Singletary, a special assistant to the President and legislative liaison to the House, was charged with assault and reckless endangerment for discharging her boyfriends duty weapon in his general direction after an argument. All of this transpired in early August, but she remained employed, and on paid leave, until she tendered her resignation this week.

Yes, dear reader, that is right. Her boyfriend is a Capital Hill police officer. It seems that this all started after they had finished after a invitation to come over for sex via text (how romantic-ack) and she decided to confront him about another woman he was dating. Singletary upped the ante when her boyfriend refused to answer her questions and requested to see his cell phone. The boyfriend refused and that is when she grabbed his .40 caliber Glock 23 service weapon and pointed it at him saying “‘You taught me how to use this. Don’t think I won’t use it.”, and fired a round. Afterward she allegedly wiped the gun down down after firing it.

The situation did not end there! Evidently she asked him to get out of her house, she followed him and again demanded to see his cell phone when they got to his car. Once again he refused, so she grabbed his two cell phones and his duty weapon and ran inside-with him in pursuit. She fired another shot in his general direction and he (understandably) fled the scene.

When news of Singletary’s resignation hit Friday, Twitter blew up with people expressing their horror that she did not get fired, but was allowed to resign. Even CNN contributor Amanda Carpenter seemed aghast that one would be given the opportunity to resign, not just be dismissed.

This is the caliber of person who works in the Obama White House folks. She has been on Capital Hill working for years, previously she worked for Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC). So the question I have here is this-does this mans life matter? Does he deserve to have his service weapon pointed in his face for the alleged crime of cheating on his girlfriend? I don’t think so. I also don’t happen to think that she deserves to be paid by our Government while the DA decides what charges he should press against her-of any.

Somehow I doubt that we will see the kind of insanity that other shootings have caused over this crime. After all he is a cop-and we all know that #BlueLives don’t seem to matter one bit these days.
