Being a cop is a dangerous job where you can get shot at any time.

Had this been a Leo doing the exact same act to a person of color in Houston, the city of Houston would be on fire as would other major cities in this nation with thousand marching and disrupting the streets of them cities.

The POTUS would have been on National TV within the hour

Al Sharpton and his brigade of riot inciters would have been in Houston holding National News conferences egging the rioters nationwide on etc etc etc....

One murderer on a rampage does not.

Not even close to true, Chief. There are plenty of LEO supporters here who chime in regularly- myself, I have at least 5 family members & good friends who have been in LE for decades. One was killed on the job, near Olancha- there's a Memorial Hwy sign there for him.

when an officer is killed in the line of duty ..

He was not killed in the "line of duty". He was Executed from behind.

In separate incidents two civilians were executed by San Diego cops recently. Didn't make the news anywhere outside of San Diego.

If you really want to pursue this line, then get a list of all the killings for some time period, say the last five years and then measure the response(s) in all the cases. Come back with your data and conclusions.

Why is it a race or cop issue, Rick?

But not true elsewhere as evidenced by the many Democrats fighting hard as fuk for more gun regulation/control...

No outrage over this incident just like no outrage over the black man who killed two white news people on live TV a few days ago.

Why no outrage?

Yep....doesn't fit in to the political agenda of the PC Left.

A thread that starts stupid...

Maybe(???) it would only save ONE life???...

This particular incident hits home and is very personal.

Not one of those hundreds of Gun Laws that you say the DEMS should be praised for has ever stopped anyone of the thousands of killings in the past 50 or so years. NOT one.

What bothers me is that you seem to want to use it as a platform for "getting back" at blacks.

"He/she was taught it from way early on"...

I am not talking High School diplomas in case you're mistaken what I mean by "Education"...

DON'T VOTE REPULCAN!!!...

Don't vote Republican....Minorities are oppressed

Man you are either trolling or you really don't have a fuking clue...

Catch on to a couple of facts...

You can narrow it down to cops killing civilians and civilians killing cops if your so inclined.

Execution and Killing are TWO distinctly different acts

sneaking up on any civilian and shooting them in the back of the head then standing over them unloading their mag into the lifeless body.

These are your words, not mine. I didn't say a copy did that.

White cope shoots a black man in the back (or stands on his hood and empties his gun into the unarmed black driver and later claims self defense, or so many other scenarios), and there is a very muted response, days before an interview, blue wall of silence, cop witnesses easily shown to have lied compared to cell phone video, etc. Community protests the lack of investigation, foot dragging, and severe over assumption of innocence simply due to the perp being a cop.

and there is a very muted response

Chief, I appreciate what you are trying to do and agree with you wholeheartedly. However, the people here who say that more white cops kill black people without cause are just plain idiots and you can't reason with them.

Dude....the political agenda prevalent in this nation is the one where the crazies running the NRA hold wimpy congressman hostage to the point where the outrageous tolerance and legalization of private ownership of assault weapons has made us the laughingstock of the civilized world.
And did you ever consider that it is a little more (or should be) exceptional when LEO'S who are recruited, trained and payed to ENFORCE the law.....break it.

Comn Chief, what difference does it make at this point?

Donini already won the thread, Chief on page one - it is worse, ethically, when law enforcers break the law than when law breakers break the law. Fundamentally, though, senseless violence is all f*#ked up no matter who is doing it.

Who is this Blackman anyway? His name makes it likely that he has English ancestry....what's his first name?

Nice twist and deflection Mark Force.

Baltimore surges past Detroit in number of homicides in 2015 Baltimore has become the second most violent city in America, a Baltimore Brew survey finds, with a homicide rate exceeded only by St. Louis

According to USA Today, the “number of murders in 2015″ is up by more than 30 percent in Baltimore and up by at least that much or more in New Orleans and St. Louis. The Baltimore Sun reports that “a rising number of homicides have been recorded this year in [the] cities… [of] Chicago (up 18 percent from last year), Milwaukee (up 117 percent), Houston (up 36 percent)… and Philadelphia (up 7 percent).”

The Mayor of Baltimore is Stephanie-Rawlings Blake (D), the Mayor of Chicago is Rahm Emanuel (D), the Mayor of Houston is Annise Parker (D), the Mayor of Milwaukee is Tom Barrett (D), the Mayor of New Orleans is Mitch Landrieu (D), the Mayor of New York City is Bill de Blasio (D), the Mayor of Philadelphia is Michael Nutter (D), and the Mayor of St. Louis is Francis G.

I mean, think about it, opening relations with Cuba and "freeing" the blacks in America
are So related, why especially considering how easy it is to do both

and yes, because the former White House Chief of Staff to President Obama just happens to now be major of Chicago, where there is, gasp, crime and bad stuff going on, why yes, that IS further evidence of of the moral and intellectual failure of Obama

Slay (D).

fter years of declining violent crime, several major American cities experienced a dramatic surge in homicides during the first half of this year.

Milwaukee, which last year had one of its lowest annual homicide totals in city history, recorded 84 murders so far this year, more than double the 41 it tallied at the same point last year.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said the mounting homicide toll in his city of 600,000 is driven by Wisconsin's "absurdly weak" gun laws – carrying a concealed weapon without a state-issued concealed carry is a misdemeanor in the Badger State – as well a subculture within the city that affirms the use of deadly violence to achieve status and growing distrust of police in some parts of the city.

Milwaukee is not alone.

The number of murders in 2015 jumped by 33% or more in Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis. Meanwhile, in Chicago, the nation's third-largest city, the homicide toll climbed 19% and the number of shooting incidents increased by 21% during the first half of the year.

In all the cities, the increased violence is disproportionately impacting poor and predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods. In parts of Milwaukee, the sound of gunfire is so commonplace that about 80% of gunshots detected by ShotSpotter sensors aren't even called into police by residents, Flynn said.

"We've got folks out there living in neighborhoods, where . . . it's just part of the background noise," Flynn told USA TODAY. "That's what we're up against."

Rise above your silly posturing and realize that each of these situations is terrible and complicated.

Do you know about the issues with the police union and the virtual cessation of policing following the Freddie Gray fallout?

Not the point Jeff and precisely why I posted it. It's the hypocrisy and political bs agenda that prevails in this nation. They are ALL just a equal in being fked up. Not one is worse than the other as so many political groups these days are claiming that they are in order to perpetuate their agendas.

The "guns" issue only gets brought up when an event occurs that a legally acquired and registered weapon is utilized. But never when this type incident happens, a totally illegally acquired and used gun. Never. Which is far more than the other. Far more.

Again the total political hypocrisy of it all.

Edit: This particular event strikes home. It was a close Shipmates Brother that was executed.

I made my case about the issue of cultural causes that have nothing to do with race and the lack of difference between white gang violoence and black gang violence. They should be treated exactly the same and taking to the streets isn't really responsible action at this point. Let the law do their work and either come up with some actually useful ideas or just stop - the more you post, the dumber and more incoherent it sounds.

I have worked locally mentoring at risk youth. I haven't worked with inner city anti-gang programs.

Your thread could be the definition of a thread that deserves to be nuked

In the cases with rioting, all those things were true in favor of the white officer.

Personally, I believe that a president commenting 39 times a day, everyday, all year, about every homicide might not be his/her best use of time.

A better use of his time would be to go on Bear Grylls' reality show.

I don't blame you for being angry, especially if you know the brother of this fallen officer. My sincere condolences to his family and his friends.


Let's just say that some blacks have a couple hundred years of pretty well justified anger pent up inside them. Was this killer justified? Hell no. Some of them are just bat sh#t crazy, or too fired up on strong dope to know the difference, just like white people.

Should there be rioting, fires and looting? No, just like I don't believe it's helpful when blacks do it.

To think that blacks have somehow become more evil than whites suddenly is also misdirected. Anger, frustration, misdeeds, mental illness, drugs, guns, they all run both ways.
