The media are in the business of stirring up racial hatreds, and so they hyped this one even though it has nothing to do with the other shootings.

Of course not. There were ZERO protests when Gosnell and other creatures like him use scissors to sever a baby’s spine, or drill a hole into the baby’s brain and suck it out.

THOSE black lives matter.

“taxpayer-funded ‘gypsies’ on the fringes of society”

I may have to borrow that.

Even if your dead family member was a bum and a criminal, it still matters to you

Obviously you don't have a bum and a criminal as a family member. I do, and honestly, if he were to die from GSW or some other unpalatable means...I would not give a damn, and may respond with good riddance. You have to live it to understand it. At some point you become apathetic, to whatever becomes of them.

Police: Man with knife shot by police after lunging at officers

Posted: Dec 26, 2014 5:44 AM CST Updated: Dec 26, 2014 5:45 AM CST

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -

An allegedly suicidal man with a knife was shot and wounded by a Chicago Police officer on Christmas Day after he lunged at officers, injuring one of them, authorities said.

Grand Crossing District police officers drove up to a building at 6:40 p.m. in the 400 block of East Marquette Road in the Woodlawn neighborhood to respond to a call of a man threatening suicide, according to Deputy Chief Berscott Ruiz of the South Chicago District, the Sun-Times is reporting.

When the officers got out of their vehicle, they saw a man sitting on a porch. The man lunged at them with a knife and twice struck the protective vest of one of the officer, Ruiz said on the scene Thursday night, citing a preliminary report.

The man then started walking eastbound, and when the officers asked him to drop his weapon, he turned around and again lunged at the officers, Ruiz said.

The man was shot twice in the torso and taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, Ruiz said.

The injured officer also was taken to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Ruiz said. He was listed in good condition.

The knife used in the incident was recovered, police said.

Ruiz didn’t take questions from the media at the scene of the incident.

The police officer performed as trained with shot placement to the the deadly threat’s body mass.

Unlike the media talking head experts who we know will say that in this case the officer should have shot the knife out of the perp’s hand.

What I am concerned about is, after already being struck by the knife the first time maybe the officer in that split second hesitate to shoot because of fear that he will be crucified by the Leftist media and lose his job, or worse?

You’re welcome to it; use it well. I live outside Newark NJ, and think it is an apt comparison. In-laws from Europe describe real Gypsies stealing chickens and scamming tourists; this is more of the same with a large infusion of violence and hatred.

Tomorrow, murdered NYPD, Officer Ramos will be laid to rest. At least 25,000 “out of town” police officers will attend with thousands of New York City uniformed public servants, all the various NYC poiice departments, the NY fire department personnel, NYC emergency responders, etc., accompanied by thousands of Puerto Rican Hispanics and rank & file New Yorkers

I would suggest that hundreds of thousands of NYC, African-Americans turn out to honor the memory and public service of Officer Ramos, for the most obvious of reasons that any sane person would see and understand!!! If not, Black Americans will continue to be adrift-at-sea, without either paddle or rudder for many, many years to come. Following Barack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Bill De Blasio is no way to go through life!!! Wake up, folks....you are alone...except for the radical America haters you pal along with!!! for goodness sake....figure it out....look in the mirror and you will clearly see the problem!!!
