Pittsburgh police chief among primetime speakers on Day 2 of DNC
WPXI Pittsburgh ^ | 07/26/2016

Posted on 07/26/2016 9:41:42 AM PDT by surroundedbyblue

Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay will be one of the primetime speakers at Tuesday's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

He's expected to speak sometime between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., after former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. McLay will be followed by actor Tony Goldwyn, who plays the president on the TV show 'Scandal.'

According to a release by Mayor Bill Peduto's office, McLay will speak about Pittsburgh's efforts to adopt the best practices on community policing.

Pittsburgh is one of six cities nationwide participating in the U.S. Department of Justice's National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice.

Mayor Peduto is attending the DNC as an elected delegate for the 14th Congressional District.

I heard yesterday (either here or on the radio) that the Party was starting to realize that the optics of today's list of speakers was certifying their reputation as the Cop-Killer Party, and that they would be forced to include a couple of legitimate representatives of law enforcement to counter this. McLay doesn't sound like it, though.

Not at all. This asshat used the hashtag “end white silence” against his own cops about a year and a half ago. Idiot.

They should have invited Sheriff Clark from Milwakee! Or perhaps Joe Arpaio!

Self-loathing police chief goes in front of a bunch of other self-loathing liberals and declares that BLM and jihadi scum can use Pittsburgh police for target practice.

What a liberal POS.

Hey, Chief McLay,

Politicizing your force in this way is NOT a smart idea.

Granted we all KNOW that Mayor McBikePath is really behind it all.

If I were a policeman there I think I would look elsewhere for employment. Let him walk the beats by himself.

They should have had the San Fancisco chief who refused to enforce the immigration laws.

I just finished writing in another thread how the DNC made some incredible missteps, by placing center stage all these left-wingers & their rhetoric. It has been a total turn-off to anyone remotely mainstream.

Even 20 years ago the Dems were pretty liberal. Now they look like a party of total crackpots.

Maybe the police chief has a self hate complex?

My Millennial daughter, who is not particularly political, watched this yesterday and told me “these people are insane, Trump is going to win.”

Your daughter is one smart gal.

In spite of my ambivalence toward him, these people make me want to vote for him.

My prediction: there will be a mad scramble to find as many conservative-looking people as possible to place at the front of the stage, within view of the cameras.

Q. How do you find the most Conservative looking people at a Democrat Convention?

A. They’re the ones with three or fewer facial piercings, and the obscenities on their tattoos aren’t fully visible.
