As the father of a bay area law enforcement officer, I continue to be in grief over the outrages, cold blooded murder committed last Saturday against four of the most wonderful police officers. The press was called on the carpet yesterday at their memorial service - and they need to be called out to be purveyors of truth, not proganda at every point. Cities like Oakland will continue to wallow in their own sewage by giving into the 2% of the population that is holding them hostage. Shame on the press, the Oakland City Council and left backed groups like this for commmiting this outrage on all of us.

Ray,
I didn’t do enough to express the character of the officers who were murdered. And I appreciate that you noted that.

Police officers are no more “perfect” than any of the rest of us. But - as a former reserve police officer myself - I can attest to the fact that they are doing a hard job, and that society itself hangs in the balance. Anyone who doesn’t want to watch a complete societal breakdown should be supporting the police and the officers and agents who make up departments and agencies across the country.

You called the right targets in where to place the blame. The injustices in the last 40 years have been in allowing the screaming fascists of the left to frame the debate. By giving faux credence to the “racism” charges leveled in the Rodney King and O.J. Simpson cases, leading to rioting that was tolerated and therefor condoned, the 2 percenters have essentially thumbed their nose at America and formed their own lawless society. Lefties love to hide behind painting others as racists, homophobes and any other P.C. charge they can trump up because at the heart of it, they are soul less immoral criminals. Now they fill the halls of Congress and sit in the White House thumbing their noses at us.
