“...Holder et al wanted...”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3085205/Insensitive-MSNBC-tweet-mocked-moment-cop-dragged-road-suspect-car-hastily-removed-following-backlash.html

“The news organization MSNBC landed in hot water over a provocative tweet it posted which appeared to mock a police officer who was dragged along the street by a suspect.

The tweet with a video embedded in it, created a firestorm from commenters on social media and news sites. It read: ‘Does it count as a police chase if you drag the cop along for the ride?’

.......The officer, from Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, was taking part in a routine stop May 9 after being called to the reports of shoplifting at a Shell gas station.

After he arrived a shop assistant pointed out Brandon Adams, 23, who was sitting in his car outside, saying he had handed over a fake check a few weeks earlier......

The officer tells Adams ‘OK, real fast, for safety reasons you gotta pull the keys out of the car,’ but Adams refuses, saying he is trying to call his brother.

The cop repeats his request for Adams to take the keys from the ignition, but after he refuses several times, the officer reaches in to remove the keys himself.

Without warning Adams suddenly steps on the gas, with the door still open and the cop clinging to the inside of the car.

The footage shows the police officer being dragged across the forecourt and out into the road before releasing his grip, causing him to tumble down the street.

The camera turns over multiple times as the officer rolls, eventually coming to a stop with his handcuffs laying on the tarmac in front of him.

According to the New York Daily News, he was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Meanwhile Adams has handed himself in, and is now facing charges of aggravated assault on a police officer and felony obstruction of an office.

According to the FBI, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty spiked to 51 in 2014, up almost 89 per cent from the 27 cops who were killed in 2013, a record low year, MSNBC reports.

The nation has lost several police officers in the line of duty this month. These include officers Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 24, who were making a traffic stop when they were shot in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. And New York police officer Brian Moore who was shot by a suspect.”

And yet singing the Garrett Morris song is a wonderful multicultural act to embrace.

Commies... spit!

“Black-white dating is almost non-existent because of the ostracism by blacks of anyone who dates a white.”

Not where I live based on the amount of mixed race children I see. It’s always white women with black men and hardly ever the other way around. I can only assume that the ostracism must be coming from black women because the black men don’t want them and neither do the white men. I can see why too because of their ATTITUDES. Their behavior indicates they have ABWS like Moochelle.

>>The color depth in the US will likely contract as South American labor supplants the Black minority by virtue of ambition and fertility.<<

And abortion. Blacks (I don’t give two hoots in Hell whether that is considered racist) make up 11-14% of the US population. WITHOUT the widespread killing of the unborn, that number would rise to 18-20% of the US population. That’s a significant percentage.

But the 87 who signed the letter condemning the lacrosse boys are still on staff.

I hate Duke with a passion. That school can burn to the ground and I would drive across the country with marshmallows.

"The blacks followed Malcolm X."

No. I would actually argue that the blacks killed Malcolm X when he started to see the error of his ways and that maybe it wasn't all "whitey's" fault (and that the Nation of Islam had about as much to do with real Islam as ham does with hamburger).

Anyone who doubts anti-Chinese sentiment back in the 1800s should google THE WASP SAN FRANCISCO CARTOONS and hit Images.

You can’t discuss race on a University, what was he thinking? Everyone knows there is no freedom of thought on campuses.

Anything that does not follow leftist groupthink will be deemed as racist in today's sick America. Actually, it is the left (e.g. the Duke University Leadership who criticize this brave professor) who are the harbingers of racism, bigotry, and totalitarian free speech.

Every Asian student has a very simple old American first name that symbolizes their desire for integration. Virtually every black has a strange new name that symbolizes their lack of desire for integration.

Actually, these students names are a reflection of their parent's desire to integrate or not.

I don't understand how blacks think this racial grievance thing will end.

If it is civil, racial war they desire, they will lose badly, what with their strategy of education (intelligence) rejection & leadership selection - Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, the "money for nothing & the chicks are free" generals of the black army, plus they are only 13% of US population - they're outnumbered 7 to 1.

If it is more free stuff, that will likely come to a screeching halt within a few short years as our economy goes south of that of Venezuela. But then ignorance breeds shortsightedness - there is nothing beyond today & no one more important than me.

Slate has posted this today:

Correction, May 18: This piece originally misstaded that Jerry Hough was placed on leave after he made the racist comments. Duke University confirmed on May 18 that Hough was already on academic leave when he wrote the comments.

Slate: cast aspersions, then post a correction. Nice.

Also, great spelling there of "misstated." Did Slate's lawyers tell them to do that?

A few words from George Orwell need to be on this thread:

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

The professor is a revolutionary.

Apparently it's so rare, a guy was investigated in 2013 because he took his own biracial children to a Wal-Mart in the Viriginia suburbs of DC, where someone called police...

[Virginia] father says he was suspected of kidnapping his kids by Walmart security -- due to his children being mixed [race]
