LINCOLN, Neb. — State Sen. Sen. Ernie Chambers isn’t backing down.
The state lawmaker froma Omaha defiantly stood Thursday on the floor of the Nebraska Legislature and rejected many of his colleagues’ calls for him to apologize — or even resign — for comparing cops to ISIS terrorists and suggesting he’d shoot a cop if he weren’t nonviolent and had a gun.
“I meant what I said and I said what I meant,” Chambers said.
He said the irony is that lawmakers were discussing freedom of expression on Wednesday, and said it was ignorant and “idle talk” to suggest taking any kind of legal action, since lawmakers are immune from civil or criminal liability in connection with anything they say in the Legislature.
“I’m not going to resign,” he said. “I’m not going to apologize. Why do you think I would apologize?”

Huh, a black man getting away with declaring he’d shoot a cop.
Why am I not surprised.
I am from Omaha. This guy is the laughingstock of about 90% of our residents. We just mostly ignore him and laugh at him when he comes out and says stupid s%$t like this.
Perhaps someone should hand him a gun and make a quick call.
I definitely agree with you on that.
