Sheriff blames anti-police sentiment in killing of Houston deputy

Harris County deputy Darren Goforth, in uniform, was pumping gas into his patrol car when the gunman approached from behind and fired several shots, sheriff's officials said. No motive has been reported.

Hickman expressed outrage at the shooting, which occurred as demonstrators nationwide have been protesting police killings of unarmed minorities, in particular black men.

"Our system of justice absolutely requires a law enforcement presence to protect our communities, so at any point where the rhetoric ramps up to the point where calculated cold-blooded assassination of police officers happen(s). This rhetoric has gotten out of control," Hickman said.

"We've heard black lives matter; all lives matter. Well cops' lives matter too; so why don't we just drop the qualifier and just say lives matter and take that to the bank," Hickman said.

The suspect in video of the Goforth shooting appears to be black. The deputy was white.

B'acklivesmatter and anyone else promoting the killing of cops should be labeled terrorists and dealt with accordingly.

Why doesn’t the Sheriff grow a pair and call it what it is—Black War on Police fueled by the President and AG?

The police held a press conference saying the killer is still on the loose so whoever this woman is maybe her son didn’t have anything to do with it because the police are actively looking for the perp right now

This is insane. This is how a murder gets covered up: throw out so many conflicting stories that a State’s worth of jury pools can be thrown out.

Obama needs to be locked away forever for creating this atmosphere.

He’s closer to the truth than most of his colleagues except the black sheriff in Milwaukee.

"Our system of justice absolutely requires a law enforcement presence to protect our communities..."

I guess that would be news to the Founding Fathers...

Anti police sentiment is little more than ignorance fueled by a sense of self-importance and lack of getting your ass whacked when you behave like a spoiled child.

(also similar to Barry, the elected one, a non-leader, educated but ignorant)

The BLM is a CPUSA operation designed to activate their black shock troop into acts of incredible violence against the police and innocent white civilians.

The next 18 months will be the most dangerous time in American history since the civil war.

Whites would be well advised to arm themselves, practice shooting, and stay out of any black areas.

Cops will be shooting first and asking questions later.

The Obama Administration and it’s allies in the press have chosen sides and in effect orchestrated a race war against whites and police.

Situational awareness is key, don’t be an easy victim.

I thought justice is what happens after a crime is committed.

Here is what Obama started in Kenya in 2006, and what the USA will devolve into by the time he leaves.

Supporters of Raila Odinga(BARAK OBAMAS FIRST COUSIN), the leading presidential challenger, rallied in Kibera, a slum near Nairobi.(According to the NY Times, this is a "rally")
