A nearby town here in northeast NJ had a couple of shootings of blacks within a year span; the media tried to stir things up, but they were “clean shoots” (perps in a stolen car attempting to ram their way out in one case and a perp with a blade fleeing into a library in another).

The media desperately needs to keep the “Klan lynching” narrative going...

Evidently, Obama needs to address the nation and inform certain people that:

1.) When officers of the law order you to stand down, you are required by law to comply.

2.) If you resist, the law requires officers to subdue you.

2.) If you resist with a gun in your hand, you will most likely die.

No reasonable prosecutor would refer this for prosecution. The “Comey Pass.”

We had a home invasion end up in a dead invader in my county. When prodded by the “reporter” to issue a comment addressing the death the sheriff said many residents here have guns for safety so be warned if you break into a residence you may get shot.

My advice?

"Never 'follow a confrontation'".

Most likely to die ONLY when “Black Lives Matter”.

The inherent white privilege of the officers meant that they just had to finish the perp off.

President Obama is to deliver a special state of the union message at 8:00 PM where he will call for the banning of all handguns for the nations’ police officers and he will declare that this punk might have looked like his son, had he had a son...snif* snif*...

On this day after the director of the fbi confirmed that Equal Justice Under the law is dead, let me urge all of those in the various police departments at all levels, use extreme caution before turning on those blues.

This is not the time to play games with the 3%.

It is not going to take much to light the fuse, remember the first Revolution started with a callous act by the police.

Right. I’m sure there was no intent. The media will go ape shxx over this for the next 24-72 hours. Just to distract that Hillary is a filthy liar and criminal. Don’t want the democrat base to get too focused on that. The fix is so in.

Yes. Exactly.

Frankly, I wouldn’t blame the police for slow walking these kind of calls. They cannot do anything that isn’t fodder for the thugs of BLM.

More likely they were exit wounds. Which raises great concerns about the safety of any innocents standing behind this dirtbag.

Hollow points usually solve this problem.

The law must be.....

Thou shalt not resist
Thou shalt not run

either is punishable by being shot

Well how LUCKY we are!! The Feds have stockpiled millions and millions of hollow points!! And it's all to protect (ahem) "innocents" when the time comes to start mass murdering We The People of the United States.

James Comey will be in front of the microphones saying "some of the shoots were extremely careless, but there was no intent to violate the law, *CONTINUE FIRING!!!*"

Let’s see: officer was white and thug shot dead was black.

This gets racist terrorist BLMers all revved up.

Daily black on black shootings in America’s inner cities?

Silence.
