TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Oklahoma City Councilwoman Jobeth Hamon is coming under fire for a controversial post she shared on Facebook earlier this week, in which she compares police who kill Black people to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
In her post, she said, “25 years ago at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, mass murderer Timothy McVeigh took the lives of 168 innocent people. That was senseless violence. That was terrorism. The continued violent murder of Black lives by police is terrorism. A burned car is property damage.” The post, which is allegedly from Black Lives Matter OKC, is currently circulating on social media.
In an interview with our ABC affiliate in OKC, the Fraternal Order of Police called Hamon out, saying that's not true.
"It's a false narrative because we don't have this epidemic of police officers murdering innocent black men in this country," said John George, president of the Oklahoma City Fraternal Order of Police.
In the interview, George cites a statistic about the number of unarmed Black men killed in 2019 nationwide.
“You would think with this rhetoric that’s going on, it would be, what, in the hundreds? How about nine,” he said.
The FOP posted on its Facebook page, urging people to email Hamon and "let her know you don't appreciate this type of rhetoric."
Tulsa used to be solidly red. But we sure have gotten a lot of liberal pukes lately. We oughta make ‘em wear a tattoo.
When the Beast shows up they will eagerly take his mark.

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
Qualified Immunity Is a Test for Conservatives
The judicially invented license for police abuse undermines the rule of law and the separation of powers.
The uncertain prospects for the lawsuit Floyd's relatives plan to file underlines the unjust and irrational consequences of qualified immunity, a doctrine that shields police from liability for outrageous conduct when the rights they violated were not "clearly established" at the time. Congress should seize the opportunity created by Floyd's May 25 death and the nationwide protests it provoked to abolish that doctrine, which the Supreme Court unlawfully grafted onto the Civil Rights Act of 1871.
Was it "clearly established" on May 25 that kneeling on a prone, handcuffed arrestee's neck for nearly nine minutes violated his Fourth Amendment rights? The issue is surprisingly unsettled in the 8th Circuit, which includes Minnesota.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit blocked civil rights claims in two recent cases with broadly similar facts: handcuffed detainees who died after being restrained face down by several officers. Unlike those detainees, Floyd was not actively resisting at the time of his death, except to repeatedly complain that he could not breathe.

There is no valid comparison, let alone similarity. How much education do you have?
Hey Leftists: You guys have so Jumped the Shark!
I wish these POS malcontents would just F O already!
Hamon looks retarded. Certainly does not present an image of an intelligent representative of real Americans.
But she definitely looks like someone who would utter the totally stupid statement that she did. 8>)
Uh... It is OKC. The article is in the Tulsa World.
That was a very strange juxtaposition between equating police forces all over America with a small cell of terrorists around Timothy McVeigh. We still do not know all the circumstances of HOW McVeigh and his only known compatriot Terry Nichols came to select this target, or what group was behind them and funding them.
Still cannot buy any amount of ammonium nitrate without signing a whole series of explanations as to its purpose and your own mental stability. And definitely not if you already have fuel oil.
Thanks. I asked the mods to fix it.

Lower cost of living will do that. Blue state urbanites are flooding into red states.
OKC is a rising hipster locale. I’ve seen it on more than one of those “under the radar” city lists. As Austin gets near as expensive as California I expert the migration of left leaning types to OKC will only increase.
Colin Flaherty “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry”
It’s fear of rioting and looting. That’s behind all this cowardly behavior by city politicians and others.
Tulsa is a distinct possibility for the Tesla plant. That’s bad. We’ve already got an infestation of fags, liberals, libertarians, and generally undesirable types.
Not anymore. SCOTUS just ruled that Tulsa is no longer part of the United States but rather belongs to the indians.
Looks like she’s a transplant from Oregon and Washington state.
