We'll have to come up with something better. I think we should appropriate Popo and make it "Political Police." It would fit in with the Nazi method of abbreviating things - Orpo, Kripo, Sipo, Gestapo, and Hipo.

“The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Friday that the additional scrutiny and criticism of police officers in the wake of highly publicized episodes of police brutality...”
Gee, what happened to the otherwise obligatory “alleged”?
That word is NEVER used when police officers are the target of the media and the FBI.
Comey is just upset that since most smart police officers are now patrolling with blinders on and therefore not providing an easy target for Civil Rights cases brought by the FBI it will be hard to keep FBI case stats up for prosecutions of police officers.
In their continuing drive to conquer America blacks want and are obtaining control of police departments across the nation. Once consolidated God help the now trivial white.
NYC illustrate why minorities are going to ask for the return of stop & frisk (just as the mother of the last cop killed already has); more and more of these areas, between affirmative action policies and white flight, are seeing minority perps kill minority cops. Weren’t both of those cops gunned down while they ate lunch minorities?
From the article:
“On Tuesday night, New York Police Officer Randolph Holder was fatally shot in the head. His killer, according to law-enforcement authorities, was a career criminal who had been diverted to drug treatment after his latest conviction, in lieu of a prison term. The shooter had absconded from his drug program, authorities said, and was gang-banging in an East Harlem housing project when he killed Officer Holder, who had responded to reports of shots fired. “
“seeing minority perps kill minority cops. Weren’t both of those cops gunned down while they ate lunch minorities?”
Withe the continued Leftist cry for more diversity at NYPD, three out of the last four officers killed were diversity hires.
“The NYPD: The murder of Officer Randolph Holder in East Harlem on Tuesday, allegedly at the hands of a gang member fresh off a drug dealing arrest, cast a pall over City Hall and One Police Plaza and raised questions over the direction of the criminal justice reform movement. Police Commissioner Bill Bratton canceled a trip to D.C. where he was to discuss plans to combat mass incarceration, and instead stayed home to bemoan “anti-police sentiment” and argue alongside Mayor Bill de Blasio that a judge had just months earlier sentenced the accused shooter to rehab rather than prison. Mr. de Blasio is now calling for tougher sentencing of violent offenders statewide, and Mr. Cuomo is arguing that the killings of New York City police—four in the past 11 months—have become a too-common phenomenon. Also complicating the conversation is the reality that three of those four officers killed have been people of color, reflecting the growing diversity of the NYPD’s majority minority rank-and-file. But no matter who comes out on top of the public debate, it’s clear who lost: Holder’s family, New York City and its police department.”

I am not familiar with the specifics of those attacks beyond what I read in the news. The attacks on police are a new dynamic fueled by the agitprop in those communities. Cops are generally viewed as the color of the uniform although minority cops are often more hated by racists in their own community.
Little doubt that most cops are transitioning to a defensive mindset against the communities they serve, the media, and their own administrations.
I have never viewed Comey as anti-police, but he needs to choose his words more carefully because the facts have not supported the narratives that have been used to fuel the anti-police movement. The narrative that exists now in the media is convicting the cops despite the later acquittal based on facts.
Not settled???? In other news today, water is wet and fire is hot.
OF COURSE if you threaten someone with prosecution and imprisonment for doing his job, he is going to be less enthusiastic about doing his job!!!!!!
I hear Dr. Carson said something weird in 1987. Hold the presses!

Critics of the NYPD and the police community revel in pointing out the injustices they perceive to be perpetrated by officers, especially against people of color. They talk about systemic racism, but find no irony in the fact that the four NYPD officers shot to death in the line of duty in the past 10 months were truly representative of this city’s great diversity. Det. Wenjian Liu was an immigrant from China, Det. Rafael Ramos was Hispanic and about to be ordained a minister, Det. Brian Moore was a white man from a police family, and the latest casualty, PO Randolph Holder, was a man of color who was born in Guyana and was a third generation police officer.
Where is the injustice? Let’s begin with the death of PO Holder, who has yet to be waked and whose family is equally angry and heartbroken. He was a man of color who made life choices based on a sense of purpose, altruism, ethics, morality and selfless service to others.
His alleged killer, whose name does not deserve to be mentioned here, is also a person of color who chose an altogether different path of greed, malice, violence and extensive crime. He was a predator who thought only of himself as he rampaged through his neighborhood looting, robbing, victimizing and frightening everyone he came in contact with. He was savvy enough to fool an overly lenient justice system into believing in his willingness and ability to be rehabilitated despite the havoc he had wreaked from the time he was a teenager.
When one thinks of injustices, they should consider the “benevolent” judges who released this predatory beast back into society, against the wishes of the District Attorney’s office and any semblance of common sense. You didn’t need a crystal ball to know how dangerous this man was. His 16-page rap sheet and 28 arrests should have told even the most compassionate jurist that he was a menace to society and should not have been foisted back upon us so recklessly and carelessly.
The injustice is that PO Holder, a man of indisputable integrity, decency and commitment to the common good is gone while his killer is still alive.
The injustice lies in the fact that there is no public outage, no proclamations from elected officials, no chants for peace and justice.
Had PO Holder managed to mortally wound this man, there would inevitably have been racial hucksters taking to the streets. We would have heard “Black Lives Matter,” and seen signs saying “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry Them Like Bacon”. There would have been speeches from racial apologists costumed as city officials and, quite possibly, even the U.S. President. This is a scene we know all too well.
The only injustices here are that PO Holder is dead and his killer is not. Both men made choices, but in this case evil won out over good.
Where are the racial charlatans now, when PO Holder, the good guy died, and his killer, a career criminal who by all rights should not even have been free, survived?
Black lives do matter, as all lives do, but the silence from the pundits speak volumes about society’s state of affairs.
May God hold you in the palm of his hands, PO Holder. We will never forget you and will always keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, especially for making the world a better place during the 33 years we were blessed to share this Earth with you.

It’s patently obvious that in most big cities when the cops back off, the crooks take over. Only brain dead libs can’t grasp that. And despite the spike in murders in many urban areas, the citizens of those areas still continue to blame the police for their problems. Insanity reigns.
The pro-druggies are experts at the half truth. There are people inside prison who plea-bargained their way to a lesser sentence i.e. drug possession from a more serious charge.
But the druggies want people to believe the prisons are full of innocent types who got arrested for toking one joint and sentenced to twenty years.
It's the Black Underclass, the bottom 40-50% we have to do something about. Millions of blacks are law-abiding and peaceful. But nothing can be done with the BU.
We'll have to come up with something better. I think we should appropriate Popo and make it "Political Police." It would fit in with the Nazi method of abbreviating things - Orpo, Kripo, Sipo, Gestapo, and Hipo.
Seems Trey Gowdy was right - James B. Comey's an honorable man...
That is what is going to change the political winds in terms of politicians supporting the police; so many of these urban areas have residency requirements (where candidates are almost guaranteed to be non-white), which coupled with affirmative action policies will ensure it is usually non-white cops dealing with non-white perps for crimes against non-white victims...
It was in the news that this most recent killing was a black perp & black cop, and the two killed while eating lunch were Hispanic and Asian (again with a black perp).
As most cops realize they will never be allowed by the municipalities to effectively do their jobs, they are in a defensive posture - and while that is disastrous for the neighborhoods they serve they at least have a better chance of returning to their families each night.
