De Blasio and the Cops

I think it may be easier to convince people that Comrade Kim Jong-un is "pro-Sony" than convincing ppl that Comrade #DeBlasio is "pro-cop"

John Chisholm and Dontre Hamilton : No Criminal Charges

It was obvious that John Chisholm was going to announce that he would seek no criminal charges against Officer Christopher Manney for the shooting of Dontre Hamilton.

Today, he finally did.

From FOX6 News:

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office released a report on Monday morning, December 22nd that indicates former Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney‘s “use of force” in the shooting death of 31-year-old Dontre Hamilton was “justified self-defense and that defense cannot be reasonably overcome to establish a basis to charge Officer Manney with a crime.”

On April 30th, Hamilton was sleeping in Red Arrow Park. Then-Officer Christopher Manney was performing a welfare check, and police say Hamilton grabbed Manney’s baton and struck him with it. That’s when Christopher Manney opened fire, shooting Hamilton 14 times.

Read John Chisholm's complete report here.

Local media seem to be waiting for the city to explode.

I'm glad I don't have tickets to take kids to The Nutcracker today, across the street from Red Arrow Park. I'm sure there are many anxious people, worried about what the agitators might do.

It's sad that the ice rink and Starbucks were closed, but understandable given the national efforts by race baiters, sometimes called "civil rights leaders," and their minions to escalate violence against police. It would be irresponsible to let the general public get caught in that mess.

Of course, Hamilton's family and their legal counsel will continue to push for a federal investigation.

Operating within the law is their right. They should do what they need to do WITHIN THE LAW.

Standing on the freeway and blocking traffic, like Hamilton's family did last Friday, is NOT within the law.

It is the duty of the Milwaukee Police Department, and the National Guard if necessary, to keep the peace.

I expect them to take measures to protect the public from the violent actions of protesters/thugs.

Let's be honest. Some Leftists hate the police. They are promoting violence against them.

Others want to politically capitalize on the Hamilton case.

God save #Milwaukee. Because @ScottWalker and @WisGOP couldn't care less if we burn.

The white folks that make up @ScottWalker and @WisGOP couldn't give a SHIT about #Milwaukee now, except to see us fail.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) December 22, 2014

"The City of Milwaukee has NOT requested the presence of the National Guard." Fuck you, @ScottWalker and @SheriffClarke; #kkk

This is the guy Chris Abele employed to do "research." This is the former spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Disturbing.

So, there are agitators in the streets and agitators online.

I do think that the assassination of two NYPD officers on Saturday afternoon by Ismaaiyl "#ShootThe Police" Brinsley, an "I Can't Breathe" guy, has heightened concern for the safety of police and the public from these thugs.

The assassinations have brought attention to the irresponsible rhetoric coming from Obama and Eric Holder and Bill de Blasio, as well as race baiters like Al Sharpton and NAACP officials.

WHAT DO WE WANT?

DEAD COPS.



No one deserves blind support, including the police.

However, I think it's safe to assume that the overwhelming majority of southeastern Wisconsin residents support the good guys, the police.
_____________

Tom Barrett press conference: He's calling for body cameras on police and more police training.

MAYOR Barrett sounds like a bystander, like he doesn't want to get involved and is an unwilling witness.

He says his role is to make sure everyone's voice is heard.

I think you have more to do than that, Tom.

He says he supports the Milwaukee Police Department and he believes the officers are "trying."

Barrett is probably afraid of being de Blasio'ed.

NY Cop Killings and Sharpton Backlash

The race baiters, the ones AP calls "civil rights leaders," fear a backlash after Officer Rafael Ramos, 40, and Officer Wenjian Liu, 32, were assassinated by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, user of hashtags like #ShootThePolice, #RIPMikeBrown and #RIPErivGardner (Eric Garner).

From the Associated Press:

Civil rights leaders Sunday condemned the ambush killings of two New York police officers and expressed fear that the backlash over the bloodshed could derail the protest movement that has grown out of the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

In the raw hours following the killing of the officers, police union officials and politicians accused those who have protested the deaths of Garner and Brown of fanning anti-police fervor. Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association in New York, said there was "blood on the hands" of demonstrators and elected officials who have criticized police tactics.

The Garner and Brown families issued statements repudiating the officers' killings, while civil rights leaders took to the airwaves to try to put some distance between the movement and the crime.

They fear a backlash.

Oh, boo hoo!

Now they want to distance themselves from their participation in the barrage of anti-police rhetoric and protests.

Sorry. They own this.

One week before Brinsley executed two NYPD officers, Al Sharpton's "Million Marchers" protest against police violence included this chant:

WHAT DO WE WANT?

DEAD COPS!

What do you want?

Dead cops.

You got what you wanted.

But the AP frets about the backlash.

"To link the criminal insanity of a lone gunman to the peaceful protests and aspirations of many people across the country, including the attorney general, the mayor and even the president, is simply not fair," NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Brooks said the shootings were "certainly not a step forward" for the movement.

"Criminal insanity of a lone gunman" should not be linked to PEACEFUL protests.

The problem is some of the protests are in no way peaceful and they push an entirely false narrative.

Brooks is whining that people linking his protests to the killings is "simply not fair."

What's not fair is that he and people like him have used LIES to demonize the police.

Sorry, but the alleged "civil rights leaders" own this.

No distance.

...In the wake of the ambush, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani lashed out at New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. Speaking on Fox News, Giuliani said: "We've had four months of propaganda starting with the president that everybody should hate the police."

"They have created an atmosphere of severe, strong, anti-police hatred in certain communities, and for that, they should be ashamed of themselves," he said.

In a tweet, former New York Gov. George Pataki called the killings the "predictable outcome of divisive, anti-cop rhetoric of Attorney General Eric Holder and Bill De Blasio."

The accusations stoked fears that any gains made in the protest movement would be lost.

Oh, no! Be afraid!

The perfectly reasonable remarks by Giuliani and Pataki stoked "fears that any gains made in the protest movement would be lost."

Good grief. I'm praying that the utter insanity of these anti-police protests will stop. I'm hoping that maybe now Obama will quit stoking rage against the police.

I highly doubt Obama will examine his conscience and behave responsibly. I'm certain Sharpton won't.

Bottom line: Sharpton isn't committed to nonviolence. He thrives on anger. He creates it. He lives on lies.

David Clarke and Cop Haters - Obama, Holder, De Blasio

Pray for survivors of my brothers in blue at NYPD. Can't find it in my heart right now to forgive cop haters like Obama, Holder, De Blasio

— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 21, 2014

http://t.co/4tgRdJ8lbC Chickens coming home to roost for De Lousio. Self-serving bastard trashed 'em 2 weeks ago for political expediency.

— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 21, 2014

Obama,DeBlasio statement on killing of 2 of NY finest is hollow. These opportunists only say this now because it is politically advantageous

— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 21, 2014

David Clarke is right.

The shameless race baiters have been fueling this fire.

What did they think would happen?

Two NYPD officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, were assassinated by an "I Can't Breathe" type of guy, Ismaaiyl Brinsley.

Brinsley used hashtags, like #ShootThePolice, #RIPMikeBrown and #RIPErivGardner (Eric Garner).

From AP:

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.

I agree that there's blood on many hands.

From FOX News:

The president of the NYPD union slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio in reaction to the deaths of two officers who were ambushed and gunned down in their patrol car in broad daylight Saturday in Brooklyn.

"There's blood on many hands tonight," Patrolman's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said late Saturday. "Those that incited violence on this street under the guise of protest, that tried to tear down what New York City police officers did everyday.

"We tried to warn it must not go on, it cannot be tolerated," Lynch continued. "That blood on the hands starts on the steps of city hall in the office of the mayor."

Also on Saturday evening, video obtained by the New York Post showed several officers turning their backs on the mayor as he made his way down a hallway at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, where Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu had earlier been pronounced dead. The Post also reported that earlier in the evening, de Blasio approached a group of officers outside the hospital and told them, "We're all in this together."

I understand Clarke's anger.

This anti-police narrative that local and national leaders, as well as the protesters across the country, have been pushing has deadly consequences.

Two good men are dead.

Hey, LeBron!

What t-shirt will you wear now?

Hey, Obama!

You think LeBron "did the right thing" by wearing an "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt at a recent NBA game.

Proud of yourself?

What a disgrace!

Milwaukee County Supervisors joined the anti-police brigade when they wore "I Can't Breathe" t-shirts during a meeting.





That's right. Demonize the police, Milwaukee County Supervisors.

Of course, Obama, Eric Holder, Bill de Blasio, Al Sharpton, and those of their ilk did not assassinate the NYPD officers on Saturday afternoon.

One man did - Brinsley.

But it's undeniable that the irresponsible, reckless remarks and assorted stunts by Obama and crew have mattered, a lot.

I totally understand Clarke's reaction.

Barack and Michelle: 'How We Deal With Our Own Racist Experiences'

Barack and Michelle Obama "open up" in an EXCLUSIVE interview in People, "The Obamas: How We Deal with Our Own Racist Experiences."

Their RACIST experiences?

"I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn't see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't anything new."

In a 30-minute conversation, the president and Mrs. Obama candidly added their stories to the national discussion of race and racial profiling that was sparked by the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York.

"There's no black male my age, who's a professional, who hasn't come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn't hand them their car keys," said the president, adding that, yes, it had happened to him.

Mrs. Obama recalled another incident: "He was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee."

Racist?

Give me a break.

I'm white, and on several occasions I have been mistaken for a Target worker. Yes, for some reason, people think I work there and ask me for help.

I began making sure I didn't wear a red t-shirt when I shopped there to try to avoid the issue. It was a little odd, but I wasn't offended that a few people made that mistake.

It happend at Pier 1, too. A woman thought I worked there and asked me for help. Offensive? No. It was no big deal.

I don't think being mistaken for an employee is a "racist experience."

A family member relayed two incidents THIS WEEK of being mistaken for an employee, once at a Walgreens and once at a car dealership. At the car place, a man told him the coffee maker was malfunctioning and asked him to take care of it.

Was he offended? No.

Was he a victim of racism or sexism or some other "ism"? No.

I have more stories like this. This stuff happens.

Apparently when this happens to the Obamas, they like to define the mistakes as "racist experiences."

Protesters and the Christmas Tree Lighting

"I CAN'T BREATHE."

"HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT."

"NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, NO RACIST POLICE."

"MERRY CHRISTMAS."

What better way to convince Americans that we are a nation of racists with a racist police force and a racist justice system than to disrupt Christmas tree lighting events?

From WCBS New York:

Protesters gathered around the city late Wednesday afternoon into the evening, following a decision by a grand jury not to indict an NYPD officer involved in the apparent chokehold death of Eric Garner.

Much as they did last week following a grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, protesters flooded the West Side Highway, shutting down traffic near 51st Street. Drivers found themselves flanked on all sides by protesters.

...Earlier, some protesters said they planned to disrupt the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center between 7 and 9 p.m., CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported.

As CBS2’s Tracee Carrasco reported, protesters had arrived at Rockefeller Plaza from Times Square by 6:15 p.m. Some were on the sidewalk chanting and holding signs, as others crowded the area for the annual holiday event.

But the NYPD would not let the protesters get anywhere near the Christmas tree.

The protesters remained on the streets some distance away chanted, “hands up, don’t shoot,” as well as, “I can’t breathe” — which Garner was heard saying on video after he was taken down by the apparent chokehold.

Others, referencing the tree-lighting ceremony, said, “No justice, no tree,” Carrasco reported.

“The lives of black young men, black children, they matter,” protester Florence Johnson said at Times Square.

From USA Today:

Standing with the widow, mother and children of Garner, the Rev. Al Sharpton decried the grand jury decision at the Harlem, N.Y., headquarters of Sharpton's National Action Network, a civil rights organization.

"How many people have to die before people have to understand this is not an illusion?" Sharpton asked, as one of Garner's daughters wiped away tears.

"This is a reality that America has got to come to terms with," he said.

Sharpton called for a national march to take place in Washington Dec. 13 to press for changes in the justice system. "We are not advocating violence, we are asking that police violence stop," he said.

That's right, Al. Police across the country are completely out of control, lashing out violently, targeting African Americans. Yup. That's exactly where we are.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

A crowd of an estimated 200-300 protesters gathered in Times Square shortly before 5:30 p.m. Massing in a pedestrian area below the financial data streaming across the façade of the Nasdaq building, protestors alternated chants of Eric Garner's last words, "I Can't Breathe," with "Hands up, Don't shoot," and "No Justice, No Peace, No Racist Police."

Brooklyn resident Timothy Duwhite, 24, said he joined the demonstration because he'd lost faith in the U.S. justice system.

"I'm not even interested in a trial at this point," he said, referring to the New York City police officer who put Garner in a chokehold. "It would just make the public think that the system is working, and it's not. It would just lull people into thinking everything's okay."

Bad things do happen.

There are injustices.

Sometimes, the courts do get things wrong. We have a system that allows for appeals when it appears that justice has not been done.

From that standpoint, everything is OK. Everything is not broken.

Good grief.

Every day and night, police officers across the country are risking their lives to protect Americans. And what thanks do they get?

Obama and Eric Holder suggest that they are the thugs. They need additional training to get them to stop killing African Americans because they feel like it.

The Leftists seem to be doing all they can to keep the nation focused on this terrible institutionalized racism that permeates every sector of our society instead of issues such as Obama's executive amnesty and his violation of the Constitution. They don't want Americans talking about Obama's economic failures.

"BURN THAT TREE DOWN!"

And Merry Christmas to you, too!
