Cop Killers in High Places

When newspapers and black leaders assault the police, small wonder that criminals follow suit.

New York police officers have yet to hold a “no justice, no peace” rally in Brooklyn, where three black thugs in a stolen BMW fatally gunned down Officer Russel Timoshenko on July 9. Nor have New York’s Finest stopped patrolling Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Central Harlem, where they put their lives at risk every day to protect residents from violent crime.

Yet under the race-baiting precedents established by Al Sharpton, New York City Councilman (and former Black Panther) Charles Barron, and New York Times columnists and editors, the police have more than enough grounds for racial complaint. Blacks are blowing away police officers at rates far exceeding their own numbers. Nationally, blacks made up 40 percent of all cop killers from 1994 to 2005, even though they are only 13.4 percent of the American population.

“Blacks are blowing away police officers at rates far exceeding their own numbers.”

Blacks are also “blowing away” fellow blacks in their own communities. Don’t look for Sharpton or Jackson.

Of course they won’t be there. This is what keeps them in business. That is, keeping their people down.

Officer Russel Timoshenko, 23 years old.

"As the officers approached the stolen SUV on foot, its occupants opened fire, shooting Timoshenko in the face and throat and Yan in the arm and torso."

Weapon Used: Handgun; .45 caliber

"Another suspect opened fire on his partner (Officer Herman Yan.) with a 9mm handgun, striking him in the arm and chest. That officer was saved by his bullet resistant vest. Despite his wounds, he was able to return fire and radio his location and a description of the vehicle to fellow officers."

. . . Any given violent crime in New York City is 13 times more likely to have a black than a white perpetrator. Blacks committed 68.5 percent of all murders, rapes, robberies, and assaults in the city in 2006, according to victims and witnesses, even though they are only 24 percent of New York City’s population. Whites, who make up 34.5 percent of New Yorkers, committed 5.3 percent of violent crimes.

It's a Black thing -- y'all don't understand. What's the term -- historically-based Black Rage?

But why is it that these predators target their own so much of the time, if their anger is supposed to be directed toward "oppressive whites?"
