Taken from another forum I go to
Does anyone remember Detective Melvin Santiago? He was a Jersey City police officer who was shot to death just a month ago, on July 13th. Santiago was white. His killer, Lawrence Campbell, was black. Does anyone recall Obama appearing before national television and calling for justice for Officer Santiago's family? Does anyone recall Eric Holder (what a joke he is) rushing to Jersey City to see that justice was done? How about Officer Jeffrey Westerfield. He was a Gary, Indiana police officer who was shot to death last month on July 6th. Westerfield was white. His killer, Carl LeEllis Blount, Jr. was black. Where was Obama? Where was Holder? Or Officer Perry Renn? He was an Indianapolis, Indiana police officer who was shot to death just last month on July 5th, the day before Officer Westerfield was killed. Officer Renn was white. His killer, Major Davis, was black. I don't recall any mention by Obama about the untimely death of Officer Renn. And, I doubt that Eric Holder rushed to Indianapolis to make sure justice was done. Or, maybe I just missed it. Vermillion Parish Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was gunned down by two men just last June 23rd in Louisiana. Deputy Bares was white. His two killers, Quintlan Richard and Baylon Taylor, were black. Was Obama outraged? Did Eric Holder rush to Louisiana to make sure that the family of Deputy Bares found justice? Here in Killeen, TX, Detective Charles Dinwiddie of the Killeen Police Department was murdered by Marvin Lewis Guy, a black male. Officer Dinwiddie was white. This happened on May 11th, just over two months ago. I don't even recall seeing anything about that on the news. Certainly, the white citizens in Killeen didn't take to the streets to loot and burn businesses. Again, I don't recall any mention by Obama or Holder. Then, there is Officer Kevin Jordan of the Griffin, Georgia Police Department. He was gunned down just two months ago on May 31st. Officer Jordan was black. His killer, Michael Bowman, was white. This was a white man murdering a black police officer. Where was Jesse Jackson? Where was "The Reverend" Al Sharpton? Was there looting and burning on the streets of Griffin, Georgia? No. In fact, I don't recall hearing about this one in the news, as well. Why? You can draw your own conclusions. Over the past 60 days, there have been five reported deaths of police officers by gunshot in the US. Of those, four were white officers who were murdered by black men. Blacks complain that white officers threaten black men more aggressively on the street. You can draw your own conclusions on that one, as well. |

There is a difference between an armed criminal murdering a police officer, and a police officer shooting an unarmed man.
That's not to say that Michael Brown was murdered, or that Officer Wilson was wrong in shooting Brown. The facts aren't in yet, but on the limited information I have, Officer Wilson probably did what he had to do. Also, I am not saying that any of the protesters or rabble rousers are looking at this through any other lens than race. I think that Obama and Holder stuck their noses into the Ferguson matter in order to try and restore calm because of the riots and "violent" police response. It is a shame that those officers were murdered, but I think the rant is off base. |

Irony is really not Irony. Does not fit the leftist agenda. The sad thing is that
the people that are protesting for Brown or that protested for Travon and those that act like those two will be cast aside if the leftists plans come to fruition. |

If the Ferguson copper is No True Billed or is acquitted at trial, there will be an open season on cops. Especially white cops. Not just in Missouri but nationwide. The Kenyan and his cronies will turn a blind eye to it. Payback time and all that.

As much as I dislike the behavior of cops, prosecutors and judges, I have never wished any LEO harm.
Why don't you see .gov involvement with black criminals killing white officers? Pretty obvious really. It doesn't fit the media narrative or the Marxist agenda of the .gov. You realize that there are groups of very smart individuals that assess and strategize every incident for it's political value? Then that is followed up with professional agitators and tactical guys on the ground. Have to get the right result, too much invested not to get a payoff. They found the one they were looking for in Ferguson for sure. Always ask, "If I were a piece of shit, communist cocksuker how would I use other people's tragedies to further my political goals?". |

Joseph Piagentini was shot thirteen times at 10 o'clock in the evening on
May 21st, 1971. He lived long enough to feel himself being lifted into the back of a green and white radio-car by stunned patrolmen, only to die minutes later, sprawled across that car's vinyl seat on the way to Harlem Hospital. It seems inconceivable, but it's true. His partner, Waverly Jones, had the back of his head blown apart by a gun that was fired from no more than five feet away. He was dead in midair, and yet his killers felt it necessary to shoot him three more merciless times in the back. 32nd Precinct New York City Patrolmen Joseph A. Piagentini , 28, and Waverly M. Jones, 33 were ambushed and assassinated in the night by three members of the Black Liberation Army , a violent off-shoot of the Black Panthers during a time of unprecedented tension, hatred and violence in America. They were murdered, not because they harmed anybody, not because they did anything wrong, but because they chose to try to better themselves and society by choosing to become police officers. They started their careers, in fact, on the same day; August 1st, 1966 was their first day at the police academy. Their careers were ended on the same day, five years later, ended by three killers on a rain-slicked Harlem sidewalk. Those killers were, and always will be, Albert Washington, Herman Bell and Anthony Bottom. |

Lets not forget that when an officer is attacked there is a gun involved every time and I think we can agree that any time a gun is introduced the danger increases exponentially. You guys need to start quantifying "dangerous". Do we only base it off deaths or do we include injury? Do we examine the nature of the danger? For example being assaulted vs. having your toe smashed by a piece of equipment. Do we account for frequency of life threatening events encountered while at work? Do we take into account training and protective equipment? I doubt many clerks are training to stop an armed suspect nor are they wearing Kevlar. No you don't. Its easy to set there and Google some statistics and use them out of context in a misguided attempt to dismiss the dangers associated with LE. Training, armor, and specialized equipment increases the officers survival rate but it by no means make it less dangerous. |
