Being a foul mouthed vic-tommm is getting her a lot of mileage.

"Make no mistake there is now a state of open warfare on the streets of America. Earlier this year it was being reported that the number of police officers killed on the job was up 40 percent in 2014, and that was before all of the civil unrest caused by the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. At this point, attacks on police officers are becoming a frequent occurrence all over the country, but no incident has stunned the nation as much as the execution-style murder of two NYPD officers on Saturday by a radical Islamic gunman identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley.
Just prior to the attack, Brinsley posted a message on Instagram in which he declared that he was putting wings on pigs today. Many would like to dismiss this as an isolated incident and pretend that everything is just fine in America, but that is not the truth. The reality of the matter is that anti-police sentiment in this country is at an all-time high, and the level of anger and frustration in our increasingly radicalized urban communities has reached a boiling point."
