Black councilwoman scolded by cops for inciting race riot, storms out of meeting (New York)

A race-baiting councilwoman in New York stormed out of a public meeting last week after a police sergeant called her out for trying to foment a riot.

“You can’t talk about public safety and assist in public unrest,” said Troy, N.Y., police Sgt. Thomas Hoffman, who took the microphone Thursday at a Troy City Council meeting to describe Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson’s actions.

According to Hoffman, the incident occurred when two white police officers patrolling a largely black neighborhood investigated a romantic dispute between two women, one white, one black. The white woman left the scene, Hoffman said, so the officers questioned the black woman.

Absurdly, that led the gathering crowd to accuse the officers of racism and targeting blacks. Then Robertson, an elected official with at least nominal relations with the police officers, showed up and made things worse, Hoffman said.

Hoffman said Robertson, who is black, got in one officer’s face with her cell phone recording and said: “This is why the black community doesn’t respect the police. You only go after black people.”

Robertson offered no denial or defense. She only got up and left the meeting.

This isn’t Robertson’s first time making news outside Troy for her crazed reactions when it comes to race.

According to the Daily Caller, in the immediate aftermath of the Ferguson, Mo., police shooting of Michael Brown, Robertson posted an inflammatory comment on the black-oriented website The Grio referring to the United States as “AMERIKKKA” and writing that blacks have become a “race to disseminate and destroy” that will be eliminated by whites.

“We are hogs for slaughter,” she wrote.

In another comment, she wrote: “Does America want a race war?”

Robertson posted the comments through Facebook. She has since deleted them. She also apologized for them Thursday night before Hoffman spoke.

At the meeting, Hoffman asked the council for an ethics investigation into Robinson’s actions, noting that she endangered her own police officers.

“I’ve been a proud member of the Troy police department for almost 25 years,” said Hoffman, who is president of the Troy Police Benevolent Association, the police union.

“And I have never witnessed a more disrespect towards the group of men and women, who put their lives on the line everyday for the citizens of this community.”

Check out the video of Hoffman’s accusations here:

And here’s the video Robertson recorded, via the Troy Record. It doesn’t show the confrontation Hoffman described, but it makes clear the hostility police officers were facing in the crowd.

We have three politicos here in St. Louis County who are regularly agitating the fecal mass.

Senator Maria Chappelle HYPEN Nadal
Senator Jamila Nasheed
Alderman Antonio French (Aldeman in one of the most violent wards in St. Louis City but is spending much of his time in Ferguson?)

And then there is this clown, Anthony Gray, attorney for the Brown family, calling for the arrest and conviction of Wilson based on poor evidence. Oh did I mention that he was a police officer one time, probably disgraced, AND he is the de facto police chief of the Pine Lawn PD?

Yeah...

The “interrupters” were acting a lot more reasonable than the cops.

The cops need to calm down. Act more like grandpas than like teenagers fighting with their moms.

"Disseminate" makes little sense in this context.

Isn't disseminate what happens when there is "a romantic dispute between two women, one white, one black?"

How long have you been a police officer?

18 years here and I know from tragic history that if you don’t take control of a scene, others will and that’s when people get hurt.

Certain segments of our society are way too emotional and will eff up a scene quick, fast and in a hurry.

There are different ways of taking control.

Maybe you don’t spend enough time in courtrooms.

If judges acted like those morons, all excitable and like they just took their steroids, like the cops in this video do, they would be a laughingstock.

You act calm, serious, not like a bunch of teenaged agers fighting with their moms.

“A race-baiting councilwoman in New York stormed out of a public meeting last week after a police sergeant called her out for trying to foment a riot.”

Anyone else would have been arrested for trying to incite a riot. Instead, she’s allowed to just stomp her fat ### out of the room.

Well, it’s the only torch they’ve got left to to carry now that the south-of-the-border types have been given their seat at the dem0crat table. Otherwise, they got nothing...

“The difference is no other group demands respect.”

Not at the point of a government issued gun anyway.

She was only emulating the current Potus, whose singular life expertise was as a community activist - a protest organizer.

I would let the good people of Ferguson put up a fence to keep all the white people out and police themselves however they wish to. Let them fund themselves without EPT cards paid for by the mostly white workers who fund them now.

They’re all hoping for their Rodney King moment so they can live in fame.

I guess they have to play victim to cover for their failures.

“The overall mood of the police I can say because I know many, is step back and watch.”


I agree with them. Why bother?

When will the national divorce occur and what will it look like?

I'm ready....too old and tired to lead....need a viable leader with more than a little power and gravitas. We must remember we are the patriots, as opposed the despots who are the traitors and criminals

Those people you named are not usually facing people with guns who knows how to use them. I have never had any trouble with the police here but I rarely have to call them. Back in February, I called to report something very strange. I was sitting on the love seat by a window. I heard an unusual sound, got up and looked out so I could see better. I saw a nut in a truck who pulled up next to my car. I watched in disbelief as he opened my car trunk. I should have stayed still but I moved the blinds and he took off. I knew people could open other people’s garages but that was the first time the police had heard about trunks. We wondered just how many other trunks had been opened without anyone ever knowing about it.

"national divorce"

I know that not too long after the national divorce, many millions of people from The Socialist States Of America would be banging on the doors at the entry/exit points of the one hundred foot high wall separating the two countries.

They would be demanding to be let back into the free market U.S. as they try to escape from the hellhole they cheerfully and gladly joined when the national divorce was enacted by common consent.
