The MS media didn't really want to report on this. Guess they would have if the Officer would have been assassinated like the Two Cops in NY were, huh? This is something that Krauthammer and others brought up with the likes of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson out trying to stir up tensions with race and the police. What say ye?




Since Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were assassinated in their patrol car on December 20 there have been more than 50 incidents of reported threats against NYPD officers. But the targeting of police is happening all across the country. On Sunday, officers patrolling in Los Angeles and Pasco County, Florida were shot at in unprovoked attacks, and on Thursday, Durham, North Carolina police officer J.T. West successfully thwarted an assassination attempt eerily similar to the NYPD attack earlier this month.

The national news media has not mentioned the attempted assassination at all, though it continues to fawn over the “social justice” revolutionaries using the mythologies of “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” and “I Can’t Breathe” as they disrupt lawful commerce, attack police officers, riot, and loot private businesses.

It’s open season on police, and, sadly, there’s no end in sight.....snip~

Yeah note, that was at the beginning of the OP. How did you do with the failed assassination attempt on the Durham Officer?



The obvious copycat nature of the attack and its near success was simply ignored by WRAL and was only noted in passing by ABC 11. The RaleighNews & Observer—infamous for their support of eugenics and backing the Ku Klux Klan in the only successful coup against an elected government in American history—likewise failed to mention the obvious similarities to the assassination of the two NYPD officers......snip~
 
Yet, Jesse Jackson is running around and saying there is a pattern with black young men be shot by the police. This is the same Jesse Jackson that was telling Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago to call in National Guard for the Streets of Chicago. Then ran to the Governor saying the same.
 
Here are a few incidents from just the past few days:

If a speeding civilian hit and killed a police officer do you think the department would be withholding the civilian's name "pending an investigation"?

Nothing unprofessional or deliberately inflammatory about this:

Here's one of cops body slamming some guy for taking video of them:

The Investigators: Man recording BRPD actions thrown to ground, - WAFB 9 News Baton Rouge, Louisiana News, Weather, Sports

I've got to head home now so I have to kind of cut this short, but I could continue for another hour posting video of this sort.

If you want to do your own "research" this Reddit is a good start:

Bad Cop, No Donut!

You'll note that there are numerous posts that cite justifiable (in my opinion) use of force by police (even if potentially questionable) and I'm just excluding those outright. I recognize that sometimes force is absolutely necessary.

But incidents like these, clear abuses of police power and the occur dozens of times every day all across America.

More and more frequently (thank God) they're being caught on video.

It may be "the minority" of police that are engaging in this kind of excessive use of force and frequently even downright criminally abusive behavior. But for every one who engages in it there are tens who know about it and say/do nothing.

American law enforcement is literally rotten from the inside out and from the top down.

And people are finally sick and tired of it.

Do I think people should be going out and killing cops as a consequence?

No, I don't.

But I haven't personally been the victim of anything like this.

I can tell you this much though, I'm not surprised by this. I've been saying that we were going to get to this point in this country for two years now.

People aren't exactly the "sheep" that our "sheepdogs" like to think they are.

Cops need to understand that they serve us by our leave, and that they're charged with protecting us at our request, not out of some "need", and that they're not a superior species of American.

If this is what it takes for them to learn that lesson, and clearly it is, then they've really got nobody but themselves to blame.

Either they take these protests to heart and come out showing a real effort to effect positive change, or they're ****ed.
 
What does that have to do with the false Narrative about a pattern with Police shooting young black males? The Narrative is false and a lie. Yet it is allowed to go unchallenged without any serious discussion and while covered by the MS Media.

I don't think there is a false narrative about police shooting young black males.

I think that the two young black males in particular who are being held up as martyrs currently are absolutey some of the worst guys for the job (Brown for sure, Garner a little bit less so).

But I think that the message is 100% dead in the ten ring.

There are a whole bunch of other people, unfortunately, would would serve as MUCH better examples of police murder, brutality, overreach, and criminality.

But we kind of got what we've got and from my perspective the best thing to do is to run with it.

Yes, I would much rather the "movement" use people like David Hooks, or Jonathan Ayers, or Baby Bou Bou, or even the folks I posted links to earlier.

And I would much rather the "movement" be about police murder, brutality, overreach, and criminality more generally, not just as it applies to the black community.

I think that the "movement" is doing itself a disservice by not being more multicultural because, lets face it, if a bunch of middle class white guys were involved (like the hoard of armed people who showed up out in Nevada to "protest" - and engage in combat with local, state, and federal law enforcement if necessary - the BLM's overreach related to Cliven Bundy's ranch) they'd be taken a lot more seriously.

So, yeah, what's going on currently isn't perfect.

And it'll probably burn itself out as a result of its self-marginalization (the way the OWS movement burned itself out by becoming a catch-all for every disaffected minority grievance in American rather than staying on it's original message and incorporating the kind of folks who actually "matter" in society).

But in the absence of anything else, and for the time being, I'm not going to knock it.

Because even if it isn't addressing a problem 100% honestly, it's still addressing a very real problem.

Its like Krauthammer said.

"Race was imposed on this by the Al Sharptons of the world. It's about how do you police, how do you do grand jury stuff? Are prosecutors too close with the grand jury? We can reform that. But race was injected deliberately and cynically and that truly is deplorable.".....snip~
 
This mess reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds titled "Brothers in Arms" where Cops in Phoenix, Arizona responding to radio calls are ambushed and killed by a serial killer. The only difference is the motive wasn't racial or due to a cop killing a civilian.

Heya Crue. :2wave: Even if it does get a headline.....the Associated Press, CBS, NBC, and ABC TV, including their radio broadcasts will continue to push the Narrative of Cops shooting young black men. Editors and News Directors with Print too.

This is why I said the names of those individuals need to be put out to the public. They have let those around them know what stories they are looking for. Which none of it has to do with who is really killing young black men nor why the black community has the perception they do with the police.

Here is what Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal had to say.


Tension between the black community and the police department stems from black criminality in this country, high black crime rates. Blacks are about 13 percent of the population but commit half of all murders in this country. Blacks are arrested at two to three times their number in the population for all manner of violent crime, all the manner of property crime. Until that ends, you are going to have tensions between the police and the black community. You are going to have young black men viewed suspiciously.

If we want to address perceptions, negative perceptions of young black men, we have to address the behavior that is driving those perceptions, and that is not a conversation President Obama or Eric Holder or Al Sharpton or all the rest want to have because they have a vested interest in pushing a false narrative, which is that racism is an all-purpose explanation of what drives what's wrong in Black America.....snip~

Sounds like many young black men have issue with the not breaking the law.
But I already know that, saw plenty of it. Even in prison they cant behave.

But, in my opinion, certainly understandable. Blacks have been having these issues with the police for a loooooooooong time. So if any racial group can be said to have "dibs" on driving the issue I'm certainly prepared to step back and give our African American population the spotlight.

And if weren't for the absolute outrage that resulted from the injection of race this would never have come to national attention at this point in time the way it has.

Complaining about the "how" of this is like complaining that someone freely handed you a $100 bill with their left hand instead of their right.

I'm not surprised that some folks disagree with it all, and I'm not even a little bit surprised that you're one of those people, but I'm not going to let that spoil the fun for me.

It is decades past the point that law enforcement should have been hauled on to the carpet and ordered to explain itself.

That it hasn't been all pretty and perfect isn't going to phase me.

Finis coronat opus.

No one is saying that the police doesn't step over their boundaries. But to run around and lie about it is a problem with police shooting and killing young black men isn't the way to solve the problem.

We always hear about re-training the police. Giving out sensitivity training. When are we going to hear about the Black community be retrained to be law abiding, productive, respectable citizens..

What about the all Hispanic neighborhoods.....me barrio. What changes? The perception for the police is the same.

I don't think "sensitivity training" is the answer.

I think felony prosecution, and special prosecutors completely disassociated from local police forces, is the answer.

There can no longer be one set of laws for citizens and another for police.

Take the case of Eric Garner.

Clearly the guy was not as white as the driven snow.

But the six NYPD officers on the scene handled themselves like a pack of thugs.

Based on the ME's findings the manner in which Garner was "restrained" led directly to his death. Beyond that, Officer Daniel Pantaleo used a fighting tactic as a method of restraint that was forbidden by the NYPD.

Clearly there should have been an indictment handed down in that case.

But our broken criminal justice system prevented that from happening.

Police don't need to sit in on yet another "sensitivity training" Power Point and told, "Now, you know, you just can't do this, this, or this".

Cops who violate department police and directly contribute to the death of a citizen need to be immediately fired from the force on which they serve and prosecuted for manslaughter.

Every time.

If they beat the charges, great, they're not criminals and they can go back to work on Monday.

But let the citizens make that determination. Not the prosecutors that the cops go out drinking with and have over to their homes for BBQs.

There was ample evidence in both the Garner and Brown cases for a lousy prosecutor to seek and gain and indictment.

I don't think the evidence in the Brown shooting would have led to Wilson's conviction, but let the people decide that based on all the evidence.

I think Pantaleo would have gone to jail, probably as a result of a plea to something less than manslaughter, but he would have, and should have been punished.

The way the system works now we've got the fox in charge of the hen house.

And things are never going to change that way, when the worst that is going to happen is that a guy rides a desk for a few weeks and then has to sit through a lecture.

When are we going to hear about the Black community be retrained to be law abiding, productive, respectable citizens.

How much tax money do you want to invest in that?

Because I think it's probably a doable job, for the most part, but it's gonna be hella expensive.

The perception for the police is the same.
Click to expand...

Agreed.

The perception for police is that EVERYONE is a threat, and that EVERYONE can potentially take their life, and that ABOVE ALL ELSE officer safety is paramount.

Well, yeah, I guess, on the first two counts.

On the third, no.

Like I said in another post, if you don't want the job don't take it, but if you do understand that the citizenry comes first even at the risk of your own life. EVERY TIME. Even if the subject in question is a black, known, inner-city gang banger with a rap sheet half a mile long. He's innocent until proven guilty, and he isn't a threat to your life until he becomes a threat to your life. it's not okay to preemptively beat the piss out of him while your partner holds a gun to his head because, "I want to go home to my family too".

If going home to your family is so important, become an accountant.
