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?”

Indeed it is. Monumentally stupid.
With friends like Senator Tommy Garrett, Nebraska gun-rights supporters might not need too many enemies.
I’ll answer.
He’s a frigging idiot. The reason is because him as an elected official who is there to go with law should be telling his voters to not commit crime, not to attack cops, not to do drugs, and to go by the law then if they have a grievance then there is steps one can go.
All this idiot is doing is no different no Holder, Jackson, and Sharpton .
Are you a cop boot-licker as well as a racist?
Really? You got all of that from his brief statement?
P.S. Have at it I won't waste any more time with you.
He should be sent to a mental institution and locked up.
Not if he’s a straight white male.
The context of his statement was defending oneself from attack.
An idiot republican senator used a potential attack by ISIS as justification for a particular concealed carry gun bill.
Senator Chambers argued that he was in more danger from attack by cops than by ISIS (and he was almost certainly correct).
The context in which he talked about killing a cop was killing in self-defense. He did not advocate roaming the streets killing police officers.
He has a history of acting that way.
Blithering idiot and human piece of s**t. What is wrong with the people in Nebraska?
He is only reflecting the attitudes of his constituents. Unfortunately, it will get some of them hurt, and/or result in diminished job opportunities. And attitude is not an asset.
Please. I am being serious. He has a history of acting WHAT way?
Has he advocated killing ALL cops? Does he have a history of encouraging people to go out and kill cops for the heck of it? If so, then he was wrong.
However, the way I read the statement he made THIS time, the man was talking about defending himself from an attack by a cop - and in that context I agree with and support him.
OMG....a Black Cop Killer Wanna Be!!!
I don’t know anyone who hates cops except crooks and thieves.
There is one lesson here for conservatives — if slammed for speaking your mind, never apologize, and don’t back down — instead, double down.
Precisely!
Why is it that nobody holds these lawless clowns accountable for anything?
Any “normal” person saying that would be arrested for incitement.
“The “Black Community” is a complete disgrace!”
Hey.....You can’t say that! ;)
No. He would have you locked up so fast.
I am being serious as well. I will take every opportunity to vilify a person like that. Anyone Negro or not, correctly or incorrectly, making an argument about killing a cop while being an extreme nut job should subject to ad hominem attacks. It is simply using the same weapons that progressives use. By the way, this is the same guy that tried to sue God a few years ago.
