Two police officers killed in Des Moines in ‘ambush-style attacks’[W:74]

Agreed. Question is: What, exactly, is the environment and who created it?

It's obvious who created it, the question is, what do we do about it?
 
That environment is one of entitlement, and WE have created it by rushing to correct social ills that took centuries to create via social welfare programs started under the New Deal, and quick fix programs in the 60's and 70's.

Now we have whole swathes of people who think they are entitled to a job, entitled to high pay, entitled to be taken care of, entitled to be treated specially if they can identify as "oppressed," entitled to not be offended, and entitled to act out violently or aggressively whenever they feel aroused to do so; in each case expecting society to adhere to and support such demands.

Here is your picture of entitlement.

I have a picture of the shooters in my head already. Anyone care to guess?

Man did this thread just blow up all over your face.
 
No one even caught that Trayvon and Obama were in those photos.
 
I caught Obama, but it wasn't worth responding.

It doesn't bother you that your president killed two policemen? Holy sh1t! WTF?
 
Even one killing is too many.

But as for a new norm? Violence against police has been on an overall downward trend since the 70's. People just pay more attention to it nowadays.



actually this year police being shot is up %44 percent. while it's still extremely rare and on par with citizen homicde rates, there is an uptick.
 
lol, you are not often right, are you?

I hate to break it to you, but the asshole who shot those officers is a white dude. In a Midwestern state. Not too long after other morons let still other morons off the hook for the bird sanctuary fiasco.

That reads militia. Who have a long history of murdering officers.

Holy ****! While they were doing the killing were they saying that it's serious? That they would make the cops delirious? That they should have a healthy fear of us? Because they are so dangerous? Their whole entire unit is dangerous?
