NYC Mayor Blames Obama

[mamooth]

Guiliani is the George Wallace of NYC, in that he's always inflamed and courted white racists to serve as his political base.

He's been at it a long time. In 1992, before he was mayor, Guiliani urged on the almost all-white police force to have what was essentially a police race riot at city hall, because of a proposed civilian oversight board. Can't have ThosePeople questioning the white cops, you know.

Predictably, a lot of posters here are big fans.

Who's Responsible?
The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police.

Those cheap shots are in fact very expensive shots, not only to the police themselves but to the whole society. Someone once said that civilization is a thin crust over a volcano. The police are part of that thin crust. We have seen before our own eyes, first in Ferguson, Missouri and then in other communities, what happens when there is just a small crack in that crust, and barbarism and arson burst out.

That can happen anywhere. So can what happened in New York. "Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."

It is a painful irony that, on the eve of the murders of these two police officers in New York, some of the city's police were already saying that, in the event of their deaths, they did not want Mayor Bill de Blasio to attend their funerals.

We can only hope that Mayor de Blasio has some residual decency, so that he will not defile these two officers' memorial services with his presence. No politician in the country has done more to play the race card against the police and spread the notion that cops are the big problem in minority communities.

It so happens that the police officers killed were both members of minority groups — Officer Rafael Ramos, Hispanic, and Officer Wenjian Liu, Asian. It so happens that a substantial part of the New York City police force are members of minority groups.

But you might never know that from the story told by demagogues who depict the black community as a "colonial" society being "occupied" by white policemen who target young blacks. Mayor de Blasio joined the chorus of those saying that they have to warn their black sons how to cope with this situation.

"What can we say to our sons?" some demagogues ask. They can say, "Don't go around punching strangers, because it is only a matter of time before you punch the wrong stranger."

Mayor de Blasio has made anti-police comments with Al Sharpton seated at his side. This is the same Al Sharpton with a trail of slime going back more than a quarter of a century, during which he has whipped up mobs and fomented race hatred from the days of the Tawana Brawley "rape" hoax of 1987 to the Duke University "rape" hoax of 2006 and the Ferguson riots of 2014.

Make no mistake about it. There is political mileage to be made siding with demagogues like Al Sharpton who, as demagogue-in-chief, has been invited to the White House dozens of times by its commander-in-chief.

I don't know if you can blame Obama. I don't know if you can blame De blasio.

I do know however that radical protesters like the ones chanting "What do we want ? Dead cops ! When do we want it ? Now !" Can indeed be blamed.

DeBlasio should have prevented the marching in the streets blocking traffic. They should be cordoned off behind a fence to protest. That's what Mayor Guilanni would and did do when he cleaned up New York.

I pity the the poor addled conservatives, who, being unable to hold two thoughts in their heads at once (such as "hold police to high standards" and "killing police is bad"), are also unable to undestand that normal people can hold two thoughts at once.

Liberals aren't normal. They are deranged. We have seen that for the past four months.

I do see something different about libs, and that's no lie.. Anyone else see what I see, because there is a huge difference in these liberal groups mindsets, appearances and characteristics when viewing them and their actions in which they exhibit between one another. Strange how one is able to see such things, as if some kind of light bulb just came on one day.
