In the Wake of the shooting of 5 Houston Texas Policeman, 1 Man Steps Up To Speak Some Real Truth - Slams Fake News Journalists For Their Responsibility in the Hostility against the police:
"Houston Police Union President Joe Gamaldi took media to task on Wednesday, saying that ātalking headsā were partly responsible for the anti-police sentiment that seems to be growing.
āIām talking to the talking heads on some of these mainstream media outlets,ā he explained. āIām talking to the activists who have severely ā¦ just made our officers the enemy. They have put targets on our backs. The statistics show it. We have seen 50-percent increase from 2013 to 2016 in officers being killed by gunfire.ā
Gamaldi traced the root of the problem back to Ferguson, Missouri, and the 2014 shooting involving Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson ā and the false narrative that quickly grew out of that situation, sparking months of protests and unrest.
He continued:
"What was that seminal moment that changed it all? Well, 2014, when we had āhands up, donāt shootā in Ferguson. Which, by the way, was a completely false narrative. And they continue to beat the drum on that. And you know what? It was a complete farce. Donāt take my word for it. Go ahead and look at the report that Eric Holder and the Obama administration released from their Justice Department that said it was a complete myth. But in the meantime, we have been cast as the bad guys."
