These heinous acts aren't always the work of left wing sympathizers,
now are they?
The reactions here are not about a mad man, they are about the anti-police atmosphere that feeds that madness.

What do we want? Dead cops.
When do we want it? Now.


That's not from the guy that shot the cops, that's from "peaceful protesters". The "Black lives matter" demonstrations are inane and without factual basis. They may not have caused this particular mad man to go over the edge, but they certainly didn't help. And the reactions here are about the mindset that the police are guilty until proven innocent. That also may have nothing to do directly with this tragedy, but it certainly did nothing to help the situation.

You are on target with your comments, Clocker.

And just to clarify, my anti-Sharpton comment is not condemning liberals, it is condemning Al Sharpton. He is almost passive-agressive in his behavior. It is almost as if he exhibits Munchausen Syndrome. Like the fireman who sets fires so he can extinguish them or the programmer who inserts defects into his code so that he can find bugs, Al Sharpton is an instigator of the negative feelings any of us can have against the "establishment" and a leader of the protests against both the real and imagined atrocities. While his actions have encouraged improved conditions for many, his antics have often worsened relations that were struggling to improve.

My comment was that if he comes off as a peacemaker, it will be to reduce the unrest that he has fostered. Condoning his actions will only encourage him to repeat this behavior in the future.

As an aside, so you understand my biases, I am a "minority" member (as is the majority of America), but I am not one that matters. Blacks and Whites both feel free to attack my ethnic group. From Jerry Lewis to Rosie O'Donnell to Shaquille O'Neill to John McCain, we bring out the racism in liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, Black and White. Not a surprise that one of the dead officers was from my ethnic background.

De Blasio and Sharpton spoke in support of protestors who carried signs calling for the murder of cops. They also chanted that they wanted "dead cops"


The police commissioner did not speak in support of these protests.

The Baltimore police were already looking for the guy for murdering his girlfriend and transmitted a warning to NYPD about the same time he shot the cops. This is being reported widely.

The same people who blamed Sarah Palin for "targeting a political race" in the Gabby Giffords shooting are attempting to absolve de Blasio and Sharpton who supported actual calls for murdering cops.

Duplicity as usual.

Don't say "target". It induces gun-grabbing spasms in liberals.

Yikes. Sorry.

I should have said:

Your comments are appropriate and have merit.

I don't want any bloodshed over my comments. I would be traumatized and would not be able to complete the exam I have to finish this week.

So, this protest last night at NY City Hall was not inflammatory?

Quote:
The haunting final words of Eric Garner — "I can't breathe" — have already inspired a wave of protests against police violence with T-shirts worn by the likes of Lebron James and Laverne Cox. Now, a rebuttal shirt has appeared that supports the NYPD while also mocking a dying man's cry for help. Approximately 100 demonstrators wearing sweatshirts reading "I can breathe, thanks to the NYPD" swarmed New York's City Hall last night. Chanting "Don't resist arrest," the group clashed with about 200 people protesting the recent grand jury decision not to indict officer Daniel Pantaleo for Garner's July 17 death.

...

Still nothing further from the president who said that if some people didn't like the outcomes of the legal system, protests were necessary.

Kind of like publicly scolding the Supreme Court if you don't like their rulings, I guess.

He is an idiot, too.

HE is not the one on the street facing the thugs.
HIS fat ass sits in a chair and thinks of stupid things to say to make himself look good.

For the records. ANYONE who talks to REv Al is a racist idiot or a stinking coward.

It is time to protest in front on his house, intimate him, and follow him everywhere shouting for his blood.

It couldn't possibly be mocking people who used the phrase mindlessly, could it? Like the morons who still go around with their hands up, saying don't shoot?

Did you take a good look at the 3 crackers wearing those shirts above?
All that's missing are the big white hoods - be a shame to hide those nice faces.
Who knows....maybe it was those shirts that threw today's shooter over the edge.

Crowd mentality is stupidity at its worst.
In NYC, they have a lot of stupid people.
Cops should refuse to answer any calls in black neighbor hoods for any reason.

Publicize the SOS Sharpton's phone number.
Need a hand?
Call a racist.

The political situation has me worried about such things too. That's why I am always sure to keep a twelve pack of my anti-trauma medication in the fridge.

You have thrown a lot of crap against the wall in this forum, but this is the lowest yet. I've worked with a lot of guys like that in my life. They may not be college professors, but they bust their butts at their jobs, and they would go to huge lengths to help out a friend, or even a stranger in need.

Without a clue as to who they are, I'd say they look like the salt of the earth. And without a clue as to who they are, you call them crackers? Which is no different than any racial slur against any minority.

He is the poster boy that, clocker.
Put him on IGGY - he has nothing to offer but hatred and ignorance.

Life without his lunacy has been good the last few hours.
Like taking a hot shower after working in the sewer!

If you want to see three scumbags, look at post #21.
