Whoa: Massachusetts Newspaper Drags Warren Through The Wringer For Attacking Law Enforcement
Townhall.com ^ | August 18, 2019 | Beth Bauman

The Boston Herald on Friday penned an editorial blasting Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) for her repeated attacks on law enforcement. 

The editorial board recounted numerous instances Sen. Warren went after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and police officers for enforcing our rule of law. 

Specifically, the Herald cited an incident that took place in Boston:

Last year it was ICE she targeted for expulsion, saying that it should be replaced with “something that reflects our morality.” She bellowed to a boisterous Boston City Hall Plaza crowd that, “This is about children held in cages. This is about babies scattered all across this country.”

That screed included incendiary lines about ripping parents from their families, putting children in cages and treating “rape victims and refugees like terrorists.”

Just days later, a Cambridge man offered to pay $500 to anyone who would kill an ICE agent. Law enforcement officers — the same ones Warren derides routinely — apprehended and charged the man.

Unhindered by critical pushback in the media or the reality in the streets that included the tragic murders of two Massachusetts police officers in 2018, Warren forged ahead, exclaiming at a historically black college in August, “the hard truth about our criminal justice system: It’s racist … I mean front to back.”

According to the newspaper, Warren's "dangerous and false rhetoric" has encouraged violence against law enforcement.

Law enforcement is under assault in this country. Several ICE facilities have been attacked this year. On Wednesday, six Philadelphia police officers were shot in the line of duty during a standoff. Those same police also had to deal with being taunted by some bystanders, who laughed and yelled at them in the midst of the gunfire.

Sen. Warren must stop using dangerous and false rhetoric immediately.

It's nice to see a newspaper in a liberal state stand up for our law enforcement officers. They put their lives on the line every single day to protect each and every one of us. The last thing they need are politicians like Elizabeth Warren trash talking them at every turn.

People think these ideas are quant and funny but those ideas, those morals kept families together and raised children that respected parents. Those Christian morals are what built the greatest nation that ever graced this planet. Erosion of those morals are sinking this nation to a third world level slowly but surely.

Even many atheists understand that, that the abandonment of Judeo-Christian values is a disaster.

Was up there 1998-99.

The daily police blotter often stated that the actor was thought to have fled back to Portugal.

The “Portuguese” in MA are mostly African-descended folks from the Azores. Most have made good citizens, others not so much. But one of the problems for legal immigrant groups is that when illegals start pouring in, particularly using some vague connection to a possible family member already here (under the “family unification” policy), they ruin things for the legal immigrants who did things the right way.

The bath tub shrines in the front yards was a nice touch.

The entire population of Portugal could immigrate to Mass and the only thing that would change is a run on Shick shavers for the ladies.

Very common in many places in the poorer parts of the Catholic world. The upended bathtub was supposed to be a grotto (as in Our Lady of Lourdes).

In any case, seeing these is a good thing, and I doubt that there were many problems from the places that had the bathtub shrines.

Lieawatha Warren and Horizontal Harris just repeated the Lie that the Gentile Giant was murdered by the Cop in Ferguson.

This is pretty normal for the Herald, OP.

Now, if this story appeared in the Globe that would be noteworthy.

Warren kills me - she’s not even from Massachusetts originally.

Great refutation of Warren:

And links to a great article series on The Ferguson Effect in post 7 there.
