For Holder's people, truth is what you want to feel it is, not what it factually is.

Example: Back in the 70’s I was a police officer in Texas for 3-yrs. Rolled up on a burglary. . .partner and I waited outside the open window in the alley as the burglar tossed his loot out the window and crawled out the window. We snagged him.

He plead not guilty (!?). Anyway, during the trial the mother testified that her son did not rob that business. When the prosecutor pointed out the facts (seen crawling out of the business and with a sack of stolen stuff), the mother said; “If he said he didn't do it, he didn't do it!!”

Nothing could shake her feeling.

That video helped the cops when Rodney King attacked them.

I hope and pray nobody breaks into our house

If my family is on top of their game the perp will be cold before the police can get here

Then there will be a media circus and they’ll come and burn the damn house down

It means don’t be a cop in a minority area. Period. Your work and contributions will not be valued.

Nah.

Black America sees cops as an occupying army.

Withdraw police from da hood’ and build a wall around it.

If they kill each other, its no reason to put cops in the way to save their worthless asses.

Let Black America rot.

The de-policing will stop. Property crime will increase, especially in inner city black neighborhoods. Concealed carry will become a bigger issue.

I honestly believe we will see this used as a reason to both disarm the police. Some are already saying that if a police officer kills for whatever reason an unarmed minority person they should be put in jail. Not only are body cam's being pushed but other “less lethal” weapons.

This is truly going to harm big cities and their suburbs beyond anything imaginable.

Cops will only be able to shoot white people and dogs. Blacks must be tazed.

Its not going to hurt the rest of us.

But Black America is going to have a short, nasty and brutish life.

That’s not our fault. Let’s give ‘em what they want.

The cops should pull out of the black neighborhoods and let the thugs rule. It wouldn’t be but a few days before they would demand that the police return.

I agree with you.

No white cop will ever work in a black majority again.

The folks see you as the enemy. Why bother risking your life on the line for a community that will be out for your blood if you injure or kill a brutha?

Let the racists of Black America live with their own self-inflicted misery. Its not America’s responsibility to clean up after them.

What Ferguson really means is that it is now illegal for a white person to defend themselves when attacked by a black person.

As a nation we should proud of our legal system... and the people of the Ferguson grand jury for doing what was right in spite of threats from street bullies and thugs. That's another lesson of Ferguson...

I’m posting this one AGAIN due to a (redundancy alert!) ridiculous remark made by Alan Colmes (he of the wandering eye) on FOX this morning. The thrust of his comment was that whites kill more blacks than blacks kill whites here!
Bill Whittle explains why that is so much liberal/leftist bravo sierra designed to keep blacks on their plantation!

Two words: Body Cameras. Problem solved.

Ever seen the view from one of these cameras during a tussel? During those blurry chaotic moments, much can still be left to interpretation during a forensic analysis. All you still need is a couple of collaborated lying thugs to skew it wrongly.

My biggest concern longterm, is what this new "mindset" will do when trying to recruit new young people into LEO careers. I bet many who might want to serve in that capacity, will pass because of the new "Thugs Are Off Limits" philosophy.

What it says to me?

Don’t bother with crime-fighting in black areas. Stay in the car and get home alive.

“Inner cities will become “No Go Zones.”

Many already are.

Reaffirm that cops have a DUTY to defend themselves when threatened.
There will always be questions and second guessing after wards, that's procedure.
The cop has one second to make a life-or-death decision, investigators, grand juries and armchair cops all over the world have months.

Pretty soon those “No Go Zones” will be under Sharia Law, that’s why the Muslims are so involved in Ferguson. It brings them one step closer to making it a reality.

I mean black racists want just that - its all about privileging black skin color over the law and morality.

Its all about being born with the right skin pigment. They are the Left’s version of the KKK without the hoods and burning crosses on the lawn.

But no less pernicious for the well-being and peace of our society.

Body cameras and reducing the number of police. Police are just not that effective inreducing crime, and are very expensive. As we’ve seen in Fergidishu and countless other places, when the SHTF, you’re on your own.
