Van Jones was a ‘zar’ to USA govt, Previously he was a communist associated with radical maoist movements. His targets against police with extreme accusations is too familiar  with maoists doing in other parts of the world, for example in India.  They would attack the police camps, fire them,  and use the media – Including the international media - to put police in defense. Many communist NRIs ( Unfortunately including a  lot of Bengalis settled – Some rendered rootless from Bangaladesh), would then forward mails to everybody they know against police brutality.

Here is how a political journalist reports Jobes resignation, He resigned not for any vicious things he said , or did or any of the campaign he joined as truthers.   :

    He resigned because of “vicious smear campaign” , by  "opponents of reform", organized groups  such as “conservative politicians and pundits”  waged a months-long campaign , all the while Jones was a “environmental activist for poor and minority communities”

  The opponents are ghettoed, the maoists are individualized as doing jobs.

  This is erroneous, but the so called instrument of media is hapless to identify this critical error in communication which probably conveys the opposite of what happened. It is Van Jones involved in vicious smear campaign – through his human rights groups, truthers and rants against “white” environmentalists who are injecting poison.
