"The total number of law enforcement officers shot and killed this year is up 19 percent over last year, according to the Christian Science Monitor. More officers have died in ambush incidents this year than in any other since 2000."
"The leader of a Seattle hip-hop/punk band commemorated the assassination with a T-shirt depicting Monfort's face splattered with blood and overlaid with a Seattle Police Department badge under the slogan "Deliver Us From Evil." The other side of the shirt read, "Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp."
Michelle did a great job on this one. Obama has brought these characters out of the woods boldly, imo.
"Lew Cox, a chaplain for the Des Moines Police Department, told the gathering that the Boston Police Department is sending 100 officers to the public memorial Tuesday at the Tacoma Dome.
The New York City Police Department is sending another 100, he said."
"Charlie Davis, president of the Lakewood YMCA, described just one way police officers contribute to the community. He said city police regularly volunteer at Friday youth nights, and it is taken for granted that they will show up when needed."
This is what I believe also. In the '60s, they TALKED a lot about "revolution," etc., scared a few people but now that there is a "black" president, it seems to be what they have all been waiting for. I wonder if Gil Scott-Heron is composing a song to celebrate the murdering monster and his accomplices?
It seems to be a systematic attack across a broad spectrum of those who serve in uniform: Army, Navy, Marines, police officers and Secret Service. In every case, many who had thought about joining or going to work in any of these branches may well decide not to.
