(Chicago Police Supt.) McCarthy: NRA, Palin A Part Of 'Government-Sponsored Racism'

CHICAGO (WLS) - Chicago's new top cop says the accessibility to firearms in America is an extension "of government-sponsored racism" that goes back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow.

Speaking to parishoners at St. Sabina Church earlier this month, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy took to the microphone after Father Michael Pfleger spoke about gun control.

McCarthy said the topic of race is a sensitive issue "because everybody's afraid of race" but that he wasn't afraid to broach to subject.

So here’s what I want to tell you. See, let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting’ scared? Government sponsored racism."

"Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy. Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children," he said.

"The NRA does not like me, and I’m okay with that. We’ve got to get the gun debate back to center, and it’s got to come with the recognition of who’s paying the price for the gun manufacturers being rich and living in gated communities," McCarthy said.

McCarthy illustrated his point by recalling a crime scene investigation while he was a police official in Newark, New Jersey where five children were shot, two of whom were killed. McCarthy said when he got home, he turned on his television to unwind and find an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" showing.

"She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms. Why wasn't she at the crime scene with me?"

This is a true ahole.

He sure is. The left's wet dream...an Alinskyite big city police commissioner.

Imagine if we had a huge Tea Party rally in Grant Park. The Chicago PD would allow us to be wilded by the local yutes, and then they'd move in and arrest us for "civil rights violations" and "hate crimes."

Time for businesses like Boeing to move out of Chicago.

OK. You may or may not be crazy, but you are an ignoramus. Gun control laws were originally passed under Jim Crow to prevent blacks from having guns to defend themselves, a policy you endorse today.

Which puts me in mind of this history lesson from 2004....

Whew! For a minute there, I thought it was black gangmembers shooting and stabbing everyone. Now I know it’s those pesky white grandmothers from Alaska forcing them to kill each other, that’s a relief.

"...“Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common?” They were brought about by Democratic Party..."

"DING DING DING! What do we have for her, Johnny?"

GREAT answer...:)

What a low-life piece of slime. He's just a field honky trying to get promoted to house honky. Mr. Jefferson saw this coming long ago:

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

In his Newark story...”gun casings...spent bullets...were laying all around. I was walking through them...getting stuck to my shoes...”

HUH??? How bad a cop is he? Wouldn’t one want to avoid stepping on any crime evidence?
