On Saturday, Dec. 20, two police officers in New York City, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, were shot dead by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a man who claimed (on social media) that his actions were a "revenge" for the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. and Eric Garner in Staten Island, N.Y.
Brinsley had a long criminal record, 19 arrests to be exact. New reports say he shot a former girlfriend in a suburb of Baltimore, then took a bus to New York, shot the police officers as they sat in their car, and then killed himself. He has no connection to the recent months of peaceful protests for police reform, and was probably mentally ill. But he linked the Ferguson and Staten Island tragedies to his own murderous act [link at URL], thus trying to spin how others would perceive it.
But the New York City police are not satisfied with this information. They want to blame the largely peaceful, justice-oriented demonstrators [link at URL] who have taken to the streets of New York and elsewhere to protest police violence against young black men. And some - like former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, want to blame Mayor Bill De Blasio of New York because he did not defend the officer who held Eric garner in a chokehold... even after Garner said "I can't breathe" more than once. ...

Rush Limbaugh: he said he wants Obama to fail! False. Limbaugh was painted with a broad brush. Limbaugh said that he wanted Obama's agenda to fail.
Enough with the left painting all Tea Partiers with a broad brush, enough with some on the right painting all protesters with a broad brush and trying to lump them into one boat (not all on the right do this, as some here at FR (like me) are for law and order, just with a lower case l and o (i.e. fire the "Kneel before Zod" cops) and are against chaos and rioting (jail those that do this!!!).
Enough...
Do unto others what you would have them do unto you...
Yes they were.
0bama was wrong about Henry Gates he was wrong about Trayvon Martin and he was wrong about Michael Brown. Race had nothing to do with any of those incidents and even the Garner family doesn't believe race had anything to do with Eric Garner's arrest and death.
0bama is the driving force behind using four incidents with no racial components to reopen and inflame a racial divide in this country like nothing that has existed before.
There’s a race war going on, I didn’t start it but I have chosen sides.
Blame game? The perp said why he did it. He gets the blame for his actions. Those who promoted a lie and led him (and others) astray also deserve blame.
Recognize evil and call it what it is. Do not cower in the name of “stop blaming”
“New York City police officials have advised academy trainees not wear their uniforms in public, or any other clothing associating them with the NYPD. That’s how bad things are. Think about that. Here’s where we are in de Blasio’s New York (and Obama’s America). It’s open season on the police, thanks to the “progressive” elites. Open season on cops means anarchy. The cops represent law and order. The cops are our first and last line of defense.
NY’s cowardly Mayor de Blasio is lashing out at the press corps for his failures (following in Obama’s failed footsteps), trying to cover up his very public divisions with his own police commissioner. De Blasio must resign. He has lost the faith of the people. He has lost the support of the NYPD.”
Oshawa. National catholic reporter
Perhaps a little less liberal that rolling stone
This reporter wouldn’t know a catechism if she tipped over it. Just a guess
Forget it
The enemy takes over what is good, using a weakness
National Catholic Register is the paper of trustworthiness. I read all with skepticism. Not because tegu speak from a catholic pov but because the enemy constantly tries to and sometimes success in getting a stronghold
The Black Muslim who shot the policemen had $100 bills in his pockets. He had no job. Where did these come from?
This article is dishonest and you are dishonest for posting it with your comments.
There was no “police violence against black men.” Michael Brown was a street thug and criminal who just robbed a store and who physically attacked a police officer. He was shot in self-defense by and officer whose life was in danger.
The riots, looting and arson that followed were not peaceful.
This rioting has been shown to be organized and orchestrated by leftists along with the lies about Michael Brown having his hands up, being shot in the back and minding his own business and not assaulting the officer.
This is an organized assault on America by leftists, the Obama Administration, street thugs and the media.
There is nothing peaceful, honest or "justice oriented" about it.
This is written by a nun————that says it all for me.

The thing is they knew cops were going to be killed a week before those two were. How did they know this? Because for 4 months that’s what the regime acting in concert with Sharpton and Duh Blasio promoted. That’s why the cops filled out this form......
Don’t Insult My Sacrifice
I, _____________________, as a New York City police officer, request that Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito refrain from attending my funeral services in the event that I am killed in the line of duty. Due to Mayor de Blasio and Speaker Mark-Viverito’s consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve, I believe that their attendance at the funeral of a fallen New York City police officer is an insult to that officer’s memory and sacrifice.

Now these same liberals are trying to weasel out of this, rationalize this? F THEM

This was the “conflict” that Alinsky says to “agitate to the point of”.
This is exactly what the playbook of the left calls for.
I know... I’m being completely ironic.
Liberals of course see it as a compliment.
And by Muslims.
The only person to blame is the shooter.
Maureen is an American enemy worse than ISIS. she is the voice of the Vatican
Sure, the shooter was deranged; but at the same time Holder, Obama, Sharpton, DeBlasio, etc., all pushed the meme that young, black men were getting shot just because of their skin color. And of course the Media ran with this story.
So if you are an idiot, and get your information fed from CNN, or the network talking heads -- with the Obama/Holder/Sharpton soundbites - you conclude that evil police are targeting black men just because of their skin color. Nothing about the context of the crimes (e.g., Michael Brown was attacking an officer; Trayvon Martin was trying to kill a neighborhood watchman; 30 time arrested Garner was resisting arrest; young black men commit a disproportionate amount of violent crimes; etc) - just that the police are targeting black men to kill.
Of course it is a crazy message that the police are targeting black men to kill - but that is the story being pushed by these cockroaches that are now scampering under cover. So if you get your information from the MSM and public schools - and you are a Godless atheist (or even worse - Islamic Satan worshiper) - this murder is a natural reaction.
Lol, no, she’s not. Stop spewing your nonsense.
Totally disagree. The shooter pulled the trigger, but who put the gun in his hands? This country has been on fire since the August shooting of Michael Brown. Obama and Holder continually stirred the pot, not once, pointing out the real facts of the case. They allowed and wanted people to believe the hands up, don’t shoot garbage and promoted the idea that police are racists and shoot blacks daily. Did they think of factoring in that there are unstable individuals in this society, that can and do have psychotic breaks? No they didn’t. This is like supplying a pervert with unlimited pornography and then wonder why he raped someone.
