Remember the Pittsburgh Police Dept shootings a few years ago in which 4 Pittsburgh cops were murdered, 2 of them swat team guys? The piece of human waste that did it ambushed them with an AK47. He surrendered when a swat team sniper took out his rifle, literally fired a round through the gun when it popped out a window during the shootout.
In the investigation, the guy admitted that he was pissed because he thought Obama was coming for his guns.
The gun lobby rallying up fear and hatred have blood on their hands. That you are 100% right about.
these typess of attacks were repeted arround the country when Obama was elected.
Fox news has blood on their hands
Yes, you are 100% right. Since 2008, there has been a large spike in ambushes on police officers. There was one in the Seattle area where 4 cops were simply having breakfast and coffee in a diner, and a guy walks in and just executes them. The trend of ambushes on cops is alarming, and cops are the most visible element of our governnment..at any level...as we see them every single day in our streets.
And one of the primary reasons I told the Republican Party to **** off last year was their public treatment of cops.
The right wing has stirred up government hatred, and distrust of the government to all-time levels. And yes, the left wing has done the same in the past, which is why I once was a right winger.
But not like this, at this level. The right has demonized police officers, and created an environment of hostility towards common government workers, including cops, and there is no doubt in my opinion that it, at least partially, contributed to some of these cop killings.
And now, they keep it going. They are slowly painting a picture that somehow the Newton Police, Connecticut State Police and other PD's in that area....have conspired with Obama to wiggle a gun law out of this. It is sick, it is disgusting, it is sad, and it is scary- because somewhere out there is a lunatic fringe right winger with a shitload of guns who is on the edge of his mental cliff....and probably watching Fox and reading shit on the internet that is nudging him closer to his edge.
