   I pray that God will put His arms around the families of the murdered officers. It is wonderful that so many will be at the funeral to show respect.

   Seeing as the soooo strongly believe in Ricky Hinton they should willing go accompany him for his stay with the state. I would be willing to bet that this would make the streets just a bit safer if they did.

   I’ll bet you could find several shooting ranges in Seattle-Tacoma that would be willing to host a memorial for Clemmons.

   May God bless the souls of these 4 slain police officers, and may He bless and comfort their families.
   ***
   I pray daily for our Military and Police and those who defend, protect, and help us in our lives. We would be living in a war zone without these brave people.
   ***
   Sock it to all perps on their second offense for violent crimes. One chance only–after full time is served give them a second chance. Protect the innocent–not the guilty.
   ***
   And lock them up forever on strike 2 if no one was murdered. And life in prison (no parole) if our legal system is too squeamish to execute the murderers among us. One year after conviction for one appeal–with execution within the year if the appeal fails.

   I know that you are attempting to be sarcastic, but to answer your question–YES!!! They want that, AND 400 years of doing whatever the hell they want to do because of “400 years of slavery.” Black communities are turning into enclaves of people who expect everything they want handed to them for nothing, AND no responsibility or negative consequences for their criminal behavior (in other words, they want criminal activity committed by Blacks legalized).

   It’s just like the attitude of the Japanese, who have raised up shrines that honor mass murderers who were executed after World War II. It doesn’t matter what evil is done, so long as it is done to “evil” White folks. You won’t see the media commenting on this ridiculous attitude either, because their take on it is that THEY have a point and actually deserve everything that they’re demanding.

   Are.you.freaking.kidding.me.

   I wish that they were. I wish it was a joke, but these people are DEADLY serious.

    By the way, these people are the cream of the crop as far as people like “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright are concerned–so you’ve got to know that Obowma LOVES these folks. They are the heart of organizations like ACORN.

    I have been watching Fox news on the memorial. The number of police cars is just amazing. Fox does not have it on at all times, but it sure makes me one proud American to see this outpour of people for these four murdered officers.

    Last week I’m come out of the back of my doctors office after seeing my doctor

    I sit in the seat nearest the door beside a 60ish black man

    He gets up moves to an open seat next to two other 60ish black men. No problem, I like sitting alone in public places

    The men begin discussing their time in vietnam. Ok they are veterans. Me too. Then the discussion turns to where they were out processed after returning. Seems one man was out processed in Memphis in 68.

    This is where he decide sto open up. He starts with saying that he missed being in Vietnam and there he had a weapon anD could kill the enemy. Back in the US he could not kill the enemy legally. The other two men shaking their heads in agreement and saying “thats right, thats right” went n then telling their own version of hating everything not black.

    The story comes on the news station about these officers being murdered.

    These men could hardly contain themselves. They openly stated several times that they admired the shooters accuracy and how he had doen some good work.

    This is the real world we live in.

    Again, I know it gets tiresome to hear, and it’s just as tiresome saying it–believe me–but I think we need to distinguish the mentality of the black folks mentioned here e.g., “Free Ricky Hinton” and those of black folks like myself.

    This last weekend during my AF Reserve duty at McChord AFB, I had the privilege of sitting in on a meeting (in maintenance) where we discussed the preparation on base for the slain officers. The sentiment was absolutely uniform concerning their sacrifice and the honor belonging to them.

    My 1st Sgt, a blk man and a former state trooper himself and many, many other people of color on base with us, DO NOT countenance the attitudes/beliefs expressed by some black folks like Clemmons’ niece.

    Just as I don’t assume all white folks are like Paris Hilton or Chuck Schumer, I would ask that you not paint all black people with the same broad brush.

    And btw, that was not directed at Mrs. Malkin or anyone in particular but more a plea that in the frustration at the antics of Clemmons’ niece et al, NOBODY forget that we’re not all of that mind.

    The killings are of course a very bad thing, and the perp should be put away forever.

    But WTF is it about police, that they feel they hold a special moral right to drop their duties for a day or two to attend funerals for fellow officers?

    You think criminals cut the cops some slack, and curtail their illegal activities while the cops are attending services?
    
    Or what if terrorists take advantage of lowered police presence?

    Anyone want to count annual police fatalities against that of soldiers? That latter are MUCH, MUCH higher, of course.

    So wouldn’t you expect soldiers to be given leave to attend funerals for their fallen comrades?

    BUT THEY AREN’T. WHY NOT??

    Do you think soldiers, unlike cops, value good order and discipline, and give the need to remain on post and doing their duty a higher priority than taking a couple days off to “pay respects”?

    Before you say “Sure”, just ask yourself why we can afford police forces to be undermanned for a few days. Who it is who pays for these junkets? Who goes on them?

    Free clue: it’s the politicos at the top, the equivalent of the union pinky-ring types.

    The money they spend flying to these funerals could pay many times over for college funds and the like for the officers’ families.

    Remember that the next time you listen to those god-awful bagpipes, which sound like farts being squeezed from dead cats.

    **There aren’t words to describe the stupidity of your post! Written out of spite and from the knowledge base of someone who has never known solidarity of community, family, and dedication of service to others. Someone ignorant of protocol and the history of honoring the fallen killed in the line of duty. Another “cop-hater”, disguised as a concerned citizen.
    There was no lack of officers on the street, which you would have known if you had paid attention to the day’s broadcasts.

    What a remarkably fitting screen name, you freaking moron.

    Clue for you, since you don’t appear to HAVE a clue … the officers attending this funeral did so at their OWN expense for travel and lodging, on the OWN TIME – either vacation time they are due, or other accrued time off.

    This idiot shows exactly what I was talking about in the “War on Cops” thread.
