Burn Loot Murder
Obama would be one of the last people I would trust to have my back.
Is this another BLM motivated murder OR was this just the unfortunate result of dealing with a criminal?
hey, but hold on, Obama just issued a letter saying he supported cops.
“lets keep it in proportion.”
What is the correct proportion for what has been happening?
Because I’m ready to call out the National Guard and start using live ammunition. Wouldn’t bother me a bit if we reduced the population of rioters by 80 or 90 percent.
As DJT said, I want to live a normal life. Hell, I want to have a normal day without an act of war by Black Lies Murder crapweasels or a Border Crashing Invader or a pigdog murder-muzzie.
I would find it very congenial if we started killing people for committing acts of war against the United States and its people.
These thugs should be put on notice that if they are apprehended ALIVE they’ll have a sledge hammer taken to their penises. We’ve gone WAY too far with ‘criminal’s rights’ in 0bamanation.
In Kansas City Metro Area, according to reports captain pulled up on the car, three men got out and open fire on him. Not sure if set up or not at this point.
Who’s training these assassins, the DHS or ATF?
This wasn’t a planned assassination, but in this now poisoned climate with all the murdered police of the last 2 weeks, any police killing is just going to add fuel to the fire.
I hope it does. I hope there is a massive backlash against BLM. I am glad some jurisdictions are starting to arrest them for going beyond peaceful protest.
Condolences to family and friends of the victim.
They should specifically call out black lives matter and the associations with the new black panthers and the democrats. They should point out that hitlery was going to speak to the blms and that the blms have visited with obama.
the silent majority needs to wake up.
Obama started the War on Cops...he’s got blood on his hands ... again.
An honest reply expressing my anger to this cheap, cynical, lying statement by Obama would rightfully get me zotted and probably draw unwanted attention from the authorities.
My revulsion at this cheap racist turd defies description. Just. Damn.
The statistics bear out the inherent dangers.
This from FEE.org
In 2013, out of approximately 900,000 sworn officers, just 100 died from a job-related injury. That’s about 11.1 per 100,000, or a rate of 0.01%.
Policing doesn’t even make it into the top 10 most dangerous American professions. Logging has a fatality rate 11 times higher, at 127.8 per 100,000. Fishing: 117 per 100,000. Pilot/flight engineer: 53.4 per 100,000. It’s twice as dangerous to be a truck driver as a copat 22.1 per 100,000.
Another point to bear in mind is that not all officer fatalities are homicides. Out of the 100 deaths in 2013, 31 were shot, 11 were struck by a vehicle, 2 were stabbed, and 1 died in a “bomb-related incident.” Other causes of death were: aircraft accident (1), automobile accident (28), motorcycle accident (4), falling (6), drowning (2), electrocution (1), and job-related illness (13).
Even assuming that half these deaths were homicides, policing would have a murder rate of 5.55 per 100,000, comparable to the average murder rate of U.S. cities: 5.6 per 100,000. It’s more dangerous to live in Baltimore (35.01 murders per 100,000 residents) than to be a cop in 2014.
I am afraid you are correct.
It's not going to be pretty.
