LINCOLN, Neb. State Sen. Sen. Ernie Chambers isnt backing down.
The state lawmaker from 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 hed shoot a cop if he werent 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.
Im not going to resign, he said. Im not going to apologize. Why do you think I would apologize?

In much of the country today law enforcement has “stood down” in black neighborhoods; it isn’t worth the risk to your life, freedom, job, and pension, and nobody cares because so many black neighborhoods pay no taxes anyway. Who would listen to a complaint from someone who never worked a day in their life and lives in government housing? For most Americans, they would demand a return on their tax dollars; some people simply don’t have that leverage...
Nope. But if you're truly worried about that then I suggest you stay at home under your bed safe.
I think I did misunderstand you.
You want our soldiers, those who have been specifically targeted by ISIS, to be sitting ducks?
They aren’t after me, so I don’t have crawl under a bed, it’s the guys who have put their very lives on the line for my freedom.
And you want them to be unarmed as killers track them down.
Unbelievable.
Wish our guys would believe in core conservative ideas as much.
