FRIDAY'S EDITORIAL: AN ATTACK ON FREE SPEECH. LAUGHABLE!
The Times hypocrisy is showing! 27 journalists murdered WORLDWIDE
and you spout disdain and horror. 115 LAW ENFORCEMENT DEATHS IN THE US
FOR 2014!! But no outrage, no special editorials. Only disdain when a
criminal does not comply then tries to kill an officer and gets shot.
Only the same lie of lines. Unarmed teen, shot by white officer. Shot
in the back! When the facts came in, you and most of the media still
tell the same lie. Then next to this editorial, what should be a
tribute to Law Enforcement Day is putrified with the disclaimer that
issues need to be addressed. Like the militarization of police.
When they are up against rioters looting, torching, throwing bricks and
homemade bombs at them, they deserve to be protected. And when the
Muslim extremists come to a neighborhood near you, you'll wish they were
militarized! but you hate them so much you are blinded. And that
blindness and the promoting of the agenda of Black (and Muslim) so
called civil rights activists to stage a war on LEO because they have
the backing of this administration (Holder/Obama) and use lies to push
it forth, will give the Muslims (Shiria Law) just what they want.
Then
you say (in your tribute to LED) that officers can kill without
impunity...now even you know that's not true. They undergo great
scrutiny. But they are in split second decisions and have a right to
protect themselves.
Blood is on your hands D.T. editors. Be ashamed! And now, be worried!
