It was just last night that a handful of supporters of the New York Police Department attempted to hold a #ThankYouNYPD rally. The group was easily outnumbered by protesters, who taunted them and likened the gathering to a Klan rally. Just days before that, police haters hijacked a #BlueLivesMatter hashtag, while others were caught on video at the #MillionsMarchNYC chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops!”
With news just coming in that two New York City police officers were reportedly ambushed in their patrol car and shot execution-style, it’s not surprising that the anti-cop contingent is coming out to proudly express their smug satisfaction if not outright joy with the slayings.

I remember commenting here on FR that every time a cop puts on the uniform he or she is a target for the entire time. And some here scoffed at that idea. I wonder if they think that way now. As a cop told me, he had to be on the alert the entire time. One small mistake or few seconds of inattention could cost him his life.
I think most of those people, like many I know in my day-to-day life, were kids in the '60s and '70s who grew to hate cops because cops prevented them from smoking pot wherever and whenever they wanted. A LOT of people carry that grudge to this day.
A white hispanic and a caucasian asian.
My son is a cop. His department requires him to be armed, even off duty. He can either carry concealed or open but if he carries open, his badge must be showing.
He does not open carry while off duty, he says that badge showing is like a target.
A lot of them seem to be right here.
As Joseph Kenda (subject of the show Homicide Hunter) says, people love firemen. They hate cops. They shoot at cops.
Most people only encounter cops for speeding tickets or something else that messes with their pleasant day. From that to hating cops, though, is quite a stretch.
Agreed that a lot of this comes from the sixties. Young people were encouraged to hate cops by leftist professors.
Yup. When I read their posts I can just hear their inner 16-year-old saying, "Don't harsh my buzz, pig!"
Where is far?
