Congratulations New York City protesters, you got what you wanted! #copslivesmatter
During a protest march last week in New York City people were heard chanting: “What do we want? Dead cops!” And early this morning it appears as if they got their wish when a man shot and killed two New York City policemen as they sat in their patrol car.
This attack seems to be directly related to, and motivated by, the Eric Garner and the Mike Brown killings, here is more:
A gunman who announced online that he was planning to shoot two “pigs” in retaliation for the police chokehold death of Eric Garner ambushed two officers in a patrol car and shot them to death in broad daylight Saturday before running to a subway station and killing himself, authorities said.
The suspect, 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley, wrote on an Instagram account: “I’m putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let’s take 2 of theirs,” officials said. He used the hashtags Shootthepolice RIPErivGardner (sic) RIPMikeBrown.
Police said he approached the passenger window of a marked police car and opened fire, striking Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in the head. The New York Police Department officers were on special patrol doing crime reduction work in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
“They were, quite simply, assassinated — targeted for their uniform,” said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, who looked pale and shaken at a hospital news conference.
Leaders such as Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and Barack Obama could have used their positions to help stabilize a volatile situation but they did not, instead they used their position to further divide Americans using the Hegelian Dialectic and today that dialectic sadly turned deadly.
Today my thoughts and my prayers are with the two officers who were killed and with their families who lost loved ones so needlessly. Perhaps if we had more responsible people in leadership this could have been avoided but that is only supposition. There is no guarantee that if our so-called leaders had acted differently anything would have changed but we do know their actions did nothing to ameliorate the crisis but in fact only deepened it…
But perhaps what is most troubling of all is the fact that many people, taken in by the Hegelian Dialectic, took to Twitter to celebrate these shootings. I guess this is what fundamental change looks like…

Thank you Steve for a very well done piece on this despicable act. You nailed it. As I said elsewhere, I want to see the “I was murdered, that’s why I can’t breath” tee shirt.

Thanks Bruce, this story bothers the hell out of me because it should have been avoidable. I am afraid this is only the beginning though and that is what scares me.

BS
When a white person takes a gun or several and shoots up a school or a shopping mall, suddenly, our national attention is focused on mental health issues. When a black man shoots and kills two police officers, he’s representative of the entire segment of the population who wishes more police obeyed the laws they are hired to enforce.
28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley was African-American. He had an extensive criminal record. He blamed all police for the shooting of Michael Brown and the choking death of Eric Garner. He walked up to a police car containing two uniformed police officers and he gunned them down in cold blood.
There was nothing right or good or justified in what Brinsley did, but his actions were not representative of a movement or of a race. Like school shooters or mall shooters before him, Brinsley acted on his own and as it turns out, he might have been just as mentally unstable as any white man who shoots up a school or a mall.
Brinsley was not part of a gang. There’s no evidence that his actions were prompted by Al Sharpton or by Mayor de Blasio or even the protests in New York . All evidence is leading to the fact that Ismaaiyl Brinsley was just another mentally ill guy who acted on his own.
“But perhaps what is most troubling of all is the fact that many people, taken in by the Hegelian Dialectic, took to Twitter to celebrate these shootings.”
Has AMericaWATCHTower read posts blaming the unarmed dead victims of police malfeasance and celebrating the killings of people in racists terms? Does Americawatchtower watch the race-bating on FOX networks?
The shooter is solely responsible for the killing!

You don’t know any more about Brinsley than I do. You don’t know any more about the Ferguson killing than I do. But you claim to know more about these incidents than the respective Grand Juries and the 5,000 page Grand Jury report did. You say you know Brinsley acted alone, but you claim that the whole of FOX is one big racist machine. You say of Brinsley that “his actions were not representative of a movement or of a race” but you claim to know Ferguson was the result of national police racism, and a nation of racists.

Is English not your first language? Or do you simply make stuff up in your mind? Because I’s like to learn where you came up with, “… you claim to know Ferguson was the result of national police racism, and a nation of racists”?
Now go back and _read_and_comprehend_ what Ema Nymton wrote.

I see no reason to attack Bruce personally for his opinion, you can debate him on the issue. But as long as that is where we are going I would like to know where “I’s” is found in the English language…

Well then, let’s “go back and _read_and_comprehend_ what Ema Nymton wrote” if that is possible with my alleged limitations.
From your other post;
“and they want accountability for officers who kill their neighbors without justification”.
“The marches are meant to raise awareness of double standards”
Yep, I think I read and comprehend exactly what you said.
The only reason to use the term “without justification” is a rejection of the two Grand Juries reports.
The only reason to to say ” raise awareness of double standards” is an assumption that some people are treated differently for some arbitrary reason. What would that arbitrary reason be?
“I’s” comprehend just fine.

Thanks for stopping by and no I do not listen to any of the networks and their propaganda. I never once mentioned race in this post, you did. If you read what the shooter posted on social media it is clear this was a revenge killing.

Right next to ‘typo error.’ ‘I’d’

Then maybe one is allowing oneself to be played for a fool. Because clearly one is getting one’s information from a bias source; perhaps the same ‘fair and balanced’ source that backed the cattle rancher moocher Cliven Bundy in southeastern Nevada?
