Personally I think the opinions of idiots like this cop are unworthy of wasting a lot of time on.
Instead I would like to see conservatives push a demand for Jay Nixon to retract and apologize for his idiotic statement about prosecuting Darren Wilson without benefit of trial. Let Nixon face the wrath of the mob he helped create.
If a street thug beats a cop and threatens his life and then charges back to threaten him sgain and gets himself killed in the process, too bad. This veteran police officer is trying to caution others not to follow suit.
The MO Lt Gov is also calling for the Gov to retract his statement (made last night, via video release). I heard this Lt Gov on Hannity’s show, this afternoon. He (Lt Gov Peter Kinder) was really ripping in to the Gov.
I haven’t been able to find a transcript or vid of Hannity’s interview with him, but here’s pretty much what he said (From a FNC interview, today)...
Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder (R-MO) slammed Gov. Jay Nixon (D-MO) for his lack of communication with other officials regarding the situation in Ferguson.
“If you wanted to support this governor as a fellow constitutional officer of state government, you would be uncertain how to do that for several reasons. First of all, no communication at all. And secondly, the policy appears to be changing about every 12 hours in a herky-jerky, on again/off again, uncertain, tentative manner...the other five constitutional officers of state government [are] in the dark. we are not included,” Kinder reported on Wednesday’s “The Real Story” on the Fox News Channel. And that the state’s constitutional officers had a phone briefing with the governor, but that the line went dead and they haven’t heard from the governor since.
He added that the mayor of Ferguson hasn’t heard from the governor either, saying, “The mayor there...has told reporters, and I don’t know if anyone has reported this, but he has told reporters he’s not had one phone call from the governor.”
