“Housing Authority police officer....”
it must have been the pesky darned amish kids again.
If their actions and statements over the past almost 7 years haven’t made that clear, I sure won’t be able to help you understand.
the officer was..a Housing Authority police officer.
Im betting it was either the mormon tabernacle choir..or those amish youth gangs we keep hearing so much about
I’ll bet my next EBT card this won’t be in the 6’oclock news.
“As in:
Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob, “
Aw shucks....where is Bobby Lee when u need him.....
From a coal miner’s daughter, to Attorney General of the USA. What a country!!!! ;)
And the lib wackos on Facebook, etc (probably multiple fake accounts!) claim that cops are safer now on the job then they were back in the ‘80s. I call BS on that one, and say there is DEFINITELY an increase in assassination-style murders of police officers, especially post- Ferguson, but also over the past six years of Obamugabe.
Chalk another one up for Obama and his DOJ.
If he was black, the story would be blaring with the words BLACK, UNARMED, and WHITE POLICE OFFICER.
Nobody is stirring up racial unrest like today's media.
Well the two NYPDs were one Chinese descent, and another Latino.
And the perp was black, hence no Sharpton and no riots and no hate crime speculation.
The media is flat out pathetic.
I posted on another thread that my daughter, who lives in Charleston, SC, told me the they had had a huge manhunt there and actually shut down central Charleston for 12 hours while they searched for a thug who had walked up to a sheriff at a gas station and just shot him in the head. The thug’s family said they couldn’t understand it, he was “just” going out to stick up the local convenience store! I guess that’s ok then.
But on his way to the convenience store, the thug saw the sheriff, who was pumping gas and had his back turned, and suddenly thuggo realized that this was his golden opportunity.
This was never reported nationally. And now I just saw the cop shooting story you were responding to and one other in a different state posted shrtly afterwards it - and I realized that you’re absolutely right. The press has decided to get around Obama’s war simply by not reporting on it.
That’s amazing, I wonder how common this is lately.
Imagine if there was a news media in this country...
Year-by-Year Breakdown of Law Enforcement Deaths throughout U.S. History
"The 1920s were the deadliest decade in law enforcement history, when a total of 2,417 officers died, or an average of almost 241 each year. The deadliest year in law enforcement history was 1930, when 301 officers were killed. That figure dropped dramatically in the 1990s, to an average of 162 per year."
1974 saw 280 police deaths--I'm sure the new race hustlers can outdo that record.
I seem to recall reading that most police deaths these days come from traffic accidents.

The incident at Twin Peaks apparently was not captured on video by any innocent bystanders
