Story on local TV tells of a gathering In DC this week to honor policemen killed in the line of duty over the last year, including at least three in New York City and one in Philly just last week for a total of 273 nationwide - and how many blacks were killed by police in the same time period? - I’m waiting on pins and needles for a statement from the White House about how this national tragedy must be addressed.....

Why do you do this? You’ve got to know you’re gonna fry for killing cops. It ain’t the 60s anymore people and unless you’re a jihadi I’m not seeing an upside.

Yeah, if you're a liberal, HOW do explain away the fact that one of the murdered cops was black?

I've long since given up on relying on "logic" when it comes to liberal "minds".

I see no racist cop angle here, just some punk-asses who are *lucky* they got taken alive.

I'm certain there are plenty of black officers who would have loved to take these killers out in a body bag.
