The irony, I suppose, is that a Latino police officer and an Asian police officer were assassinated here. Sure did teach those white police officers a lesson, right?

No more ironic than "white hispanic" or the catchphrase "hands up dont shoot" when that never happened.

There have been many comments that have been misplaced. If that wasn't so, the after the fact, "be more careful" excuse would not be necessary. Can't wait to see the banners and press conferences from the activists who will carry that message.

I agree that many comments have been misplaced. How do those comments justify or relate to the misplacement of yours?

Come on! Where's the voices saying that these cops deserved it? Isn't this what "justice" is supposed to look like?

Great. The Mayor implies that cops are to blame for black kids getting killed. Protesters marching to the chant of "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!" Ambulance crews and public defenders posting pics showing people pointing pistols at cops heads.

Well, mother****ers, if you really wanted to start a war this is the way to do it.

So by the same logic you are employing, every anti-government nut job that commits a terrorist act is obviously the fault of right wing talk radio...:roll:

Except rw talk radio isn't advocating for acts of terrorism and the no justice no peace crowd is. What do you think no justice no peace means?
 
Re: One NYPD Cop Dead, Another Critical After They Were Shot in Vehicle

I'm going to be an optimist here and suggest that maybe some good can come from this heinous, cowardly act, and that the death of these two men will have some benefit.

Let's hope that the likes of Di Blasio and Holder and Sharpton get a grip on their rhetoric, tone things down, and take a second look at what they've wrought and look for serious dialogue between the police and black leadership.

Secondly, only the truly vulgar and sub-human will be out protesting white officer/black criminal shootings now - this may actually calm that discontent and shake up some of those in the protest crowds who were calling for the deaths of police officers in retribution.

Thirdly, let's hope we see some of those in professional sports and other high profile fields who made fools of themselves with their "hands up, don't shoot" nonsense will also see they were played for fools and give recognition to the good work so man brave men and women do to protect our cities and way of life.

Finally, I'm hopeful this is the end of the "war" and not the beginning. Those who support police and the work they do aren't lawless or destructive so you won't see looting or violence from them as a result of these two officers being killed. You'll see compassion for the families and a strong, silent determination to fully support police going forward. That should help to keep any talk of "war" from materializing or going further.

Has anyone NOT seen this as totally predictable?

I would imagine they mean the protests will continue until they get what they perceive as justice. Just the same, the point is that people in power or with a microphone should measure their words as there are plenty of nut jobs out there they might just inadvertently inspire to commit violence.

Nah. What we have is public officials right up to and including the President of the United States who have chosen to promote the idea that cops are the cause of an antagonistic relationship between civil authority and the black community. We have them tacitly promoting rhetoric that cops actively seek to ruin the lives of black kids.

These guys not only accept but encourage the idea that riots, looting and violence are an understandable reaction to perceived injustice and that when the system spits out results you don't like that the reason for that is racial bias. Ever since the Henry Louis Gates incident this administration chosen to drive the wedge deeper into the racial divide rather than try to heal it and the death of these two cops is part of that result.

I thought the protests WERE peaceful? What you wont admit, is that its an implicit threat of violence-its a mob saying "do what I like or I will get violent." And now they have.

Sure:

Most recently -
Alleged Pennsylvania cop killer charged with terrorism - CNN.com

Hatriot Politics Created the Las Vegas Killers - The Daily Beast

But then lets not forget the Oklahoma City bombing either.

Which is my point. People on both sides that have an audience should measure their words. You never know what kind of a nut job you are going to inspire, inadvertently or not, to commit violence.
 
Re: One NYPD Cop Dead, Another Critical After They Were Shot in Vehicle

Here's what it all boils down to.

You've got politicians and talking heads on both sides saying how bad this is and how bad that is while all the time looking out for their interests. You've got rioters, looters and murderers doing their thing and looking out for their interests. It's all about "my feelings" and "my rights".

It's about damned time for some humility in this mess. It's time for a little humanity and taking a step back to look at how all this crap effects other people.

Speaking of which -

It's sad that the link above doesn't go to NBC or CBS or FOX or MSNBC or some other major media outlet. But, then again, it's all about your own interests, right?

Every cop totally predicted it would happen. Their unions were calling an end to all the flaming from politicians and activists.

Here's video shot of the NYC police department turning their backs on De Blasio

Poor horse ****! I expect such from Rat but you too??? :(

When certain deranged gunmen goes on a killing spree, CONs don't declare a war has started, even after months of heated CON talk radio and website rhetoric....

But a single deranged gunman in NYC shoots a pair of cops and a WAR is being started????

Partisanship is one thing, ignorance is another....

When it comes to accusations of politicizing, I think back to how Sarah Palin and conservative pundits were IMMEDIATELY declared responsible for the Gabby Gifford shooting over a political map...

Think about that libs, before opening your mouths.

There are also no words to describe those who must turn a tragedy into an opportunity to score political points. Who was it that said something about not letting a tragedy go to waste?

But only when that politician is a liberal? I mean, it's totally OK for a conservative to milk this tragedy for political gain.
