hiladelphia’s Fraternal Order of Police slammed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over the lineup for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. The FOP released a statement Wednesday saying they didn’t see any widows or family members of slain police officers on the initial itinerary for planned speakers at the DNC.
“The Fraternal Order of Police is insulted, and will not soon forget, that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are excluding the widows, and other family members of Police Officers killed in the line of duty who were victims of explicit, and not implied racism, and 'being on duty in blue,'" a spokesperson for the FOP wrote. “It is sad that to win an election Mrs. Clinton must pander to the interests of people who do not know all the facts, while the men and women they seek to destroy are outside protecting the political institutions of this country. Mrs. Clinton you should be ashamed of yourself if that is possible.”
When Pat Smith spoke at the Republican convention this week, Prissy Chrissy Matthews and others in the mainstream media accused the Republicans of exploiting her grief. Will we hear the same criticism directed at the Democrats? Somehow, I don't think so.
Kidnapping and recorded torture is next.
BLM cannot be controlled by normal means. They are an anarchist movement.
It seems like it would be a good optic but it can go badly quickly. The Democrats wants them to take over the podium. Make a few statements, start a few chants and then go away.
But they can’t control that.
Add that the Philly police may not be interested in stopping them
I believe there is more than one....Trayvon Martin’s mom is one.
Wow.OUCH!
I guess the police know where they will not be next week. Truly, they shouldn't be at the DNC. It's not safe for them there.
I think I saw something saying that the mother of Michael Brown (Ferguson, MO) was going to speak.
Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin...will be represented by their gold digging parents.
They are crashing and burning... like Ted Cruz who made the mistake of not endorsing trump imagining he will preserve for himself a position of prominence in the future; they are blind to the facts and promote a fairytale narrative, and like all fairytales, the narrative dissolves and crumbles as the light of reality shines on their sorry, criminal asses.
Te up side is that anything the moron rats do to hurt turnout in Philly improves our chances of winning Pennsylvania. Has Chuck Retodd been all over the stupidity of this?
BLM?,
How about Bernie crazies, and every goofy group you can think of raise hell in Philly.
Please.
I’m going to watch as much of that train wreck as I can.
“”Where’s Maureen Faulkner? Her husband was a cop in that city. Was.””
Has the puke who killed him turned to dust yet? I’m surprised osamaobama hasn’t had him released...
Americans from Across the Country to Speak at the Democratic National Convention
Although the full speakers list is still not up:
They have a problem. I’m not sure how they will stop them. You know BLM folks think it should all be about them.
I also want to see groups of muslims being confronted by a bunch of gays.
It’s going to be a pandering, racial, anti-normative, shouting hate fest. They cannot help themselves.
...have the popcorn handy.
Please....no one should watch the Democrat National Convention...period!!!
You bet. I hope it is an out of control commie fest.
Despite all the warnings about Cleveland, fact is the blacks there are pretty apathetic. So the rabble rousers are mainly the paid protestors. No grass roots going on there. (It’s not over yet, though, bad stuff could still happen - hope not.) Also, it’s fairly isolated from large metro areas.
Philly might be a different story. Philly is within a few hours commute of the I-95 corridor from D.C. to NYC, so it’s accessible to millions and millions of disgruntled people. The paid protestors will just travel the six hours from Cleveland to join in, but there could be a sizable regional crowd as well.
What’s the over-under for the time it takes to change this?
No, he’s still spouting.
Stark contrast between good and evil.
