Two Police Officers Shot In The Head in Compton, California

[IM2]

This is officer Ryan Hendricks. He was shot and killed this week. His name didn't trend, and no one referred to his killer as "an animal", because the man who murdered him was white.



The phony #bluelivesmatter crowd ignored him. I believe officer Ryan Hendricks life mattered

Go tell MSM to hype i like they do the blacks killed.

Now..how many riots happened because he died........How many stores looted........how many more people shot in protest......

Didn't happen.........rest my case.........340 million people........the media just hypes the ones they want you to see for a narrative and ratings.

That's because white people don't like the police. So you are not going to riot and protest over over deaths from people who you don't like.

The only reason whites tolerate the police is because they kill or harm black people and that's it.

You are one weird dude.........pushing a BS narrative

Look at this shooting and killing of a cop by David Ware the other night.



I mean really look it. Look at it and study it

The whole video shows they ask him 1,000 times to get put of the car. They do research to find his first name and knew he was an ex-con.....but that don't matter he's white. They approach him and don't insist on him keeping his hands on the wheel at all times. So they carry on begging and pleading with this killer.

Sgt. Craig Johnson wouldn’t be dead if he had treated David Ware as though he was black but unfortunately his white privilege recognised Ware’s white privilege... and that cost him his life. Oh well.

Remind me to break out the world's smallest violin for Sgt Craig Johnson

Those flops was so sweet and tender with one of their own and got, GOT!! you brought it on your selves (fact) -> isn't there a burger king in that area ?

Not to mention they didn't even draw their weapons! He got off a few rounds before they even knew what hit them! If he was black he would have been shot as they approached the vehicle.

But if a Black Man is not involved whites keep their mouths shut.

You are slandering a dead man based on your presumption and mind reading.

Essen is speaking a truth that you know is right.

The mental health professionals that replace certain officers will technically be cops also. Just not ones trained to turn violent because you don't immediately get your way.

What is a 'technical' cop? You are drastically light on details here. Frankly, I think cops should be taught marshal arts. You can subdue most people easily and with very little effort using the right techniques.

You've never fought anyone on PCP have you? And on camera, in an environment where a rear naked choke will get you fired?

It ain't as easy as you make it sound, guy. Not if you want to keep working.

Quick question..................when was the last time that YOU fought someone on PCP while on camera in a job where a choke hold could get you fired? I'm guessing never.

About 4 nights ago, actually.

Check my posting history; one bit me a few months back.

New footage. These "activists" shown at the end BETTER side with these cops.

That murderous little demon is living in YOUR 'hood

Wow, Tucker Carlson’s take on this was amazing. Will post video when it’s up.

The female was shot through the jaw, and was helping the other officer. All while several animals in the area were streaming them and laughing at them.

Do black people think this makes them look good?

Do whites think it makes them look good to defend police shooting an unarmed man 7 times in the back then trying to lie about him going for a gun?

Keep disobeying cops after breaking the law. You defend a rapist and a guy that was fighting with cops, and had a knife. Fuck him, they should had kept shooting until he was dead. Low IQ thugs like that are a danger to society, they have no place here. So move to Africa and live your life free of “racism”. But of course you won’t, because you’re a coward who loves white culture and knows it’s far superior to any African culture. So keep whining like a petulant little child, you all sound like pathetic bitches.

So blacks get stopped four or five times as many as whites

Or we could do something about the record inequality and upward mobility and hopelessness in the United States.... Crime is caused by poverty period if there were that many poor whites they would be the same. The average black family has 1/10 the wealth of the average white family and no they are not criminals more than whites. Amazingly. But their criminals are busy. Selling drugs to whites.. what a great GOP mess we have here.....

OR......you could STOP giving criminals and excuse to kill cops. GFY

How exactly do you "give an excuse" to execute two cops sitting in a police car harming no one?

it's murder and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law duh. On the other hand if Trump ordered body cameras turned on for every cop or something like that this kind of thing might end. But he only turns on his racist or totally misinformed or both Base and divides the country with pure obstruction and disrespect.

Well, tell blacks to stop committing so many crimes.

Yah, we told them. We also told whites who commit 64% of the crimes and the gop admin personell who committed 114 times the number of crimes as Dems. It did no good.
Talk is cheap. The Gop doesn’t listen.

Over half of murders in our country are perpetuated by blacks, who make up about 12% of the population.

Then of the “white” offenders, Hispanics and Latinos are lumped in with them, but they commit about half of those “white offender” murders.

Poverty produces crime, and the GOP produces poverty. 40 years of GOP giveaway to the rich has given us the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere. Great job! Change the channel for crying out loud.....

Inequality grew under Obama also.

Actually it did not.

Obama admits 95% of income gains gone to top 1%

Obama claims inequality falling even as income inequality soars

During Obama’s Presidency Wealth Inequality has Increased and Poverty Levels are Higher

Troubling and significant statistics produced by the government indicate important facts about our political system and its priorities. Unfortunately,

But continue to read why. It’s capitalism and . It’s the replacement of skilled labor that pays higher salary, with robotics. Now, dozens of highly skilled technicians do the job of hundreds of skilled manual laborers.
Just go into ANY MANUFACTURING PLANT over the years. These skilled people are now working in a service industry that plays less.

Income inequality was already bad and while it did not improve, if Obama had not taken the steps he did it would have been worse and then there

Always with the excuses. Obama could have done a ton of things differently. He could have helped bail out the homeowners as opposed to the banks that forclosed on them.

No excuses. H.A.M.P.

When the Obama administration announced a massive effort to help distressed homeowners in 2009, it set high expectations. The program, government officials said, would keep up to 4 million borrowers out of foreclosure.

“It will give millions of families resigned to financial ruin a chance to rebuild,” Obama said at a event announcing the effort. “By bringing down the foreclosure rate, it will help shore up housing prices for everyone.”

Six years later, Obama is preparing to leave office, and the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, accepted its final applications Friday having helped a fraction of the homeowners government officials initially expected. About 1.6 million borrowers have seen their mortgage payments lowered through the program so far, but about a third of those people eventually fell behind on their payments again.

“The president set out an ambitious goal that wasn’t met,” said Kevin Stein, deputy director of the California Reinvestment Coalition, a housing advocacy group. “It was definitely a step forward and step in the right direction, but ... a lot of people ended up falling through the cracks.”


HAMP is one of the last remnants of the $700-billion taxpayer bailout effort, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, put in place during the financial crisis. About $28 billion of that money was carved out to help distressed homeowners by paying banks to lower their interest rates and monthly payments.

It was launched in the midst of one of the deepest housing crises in U.S. history. Millions of people had taken out subprime loans that they could no longer afford, sending foreclosure rates to record levels.

The Obama administration set out to save more homeowners from foreclosure, but the effort has been bedeviled by complaints that banks repeatedly lost homeowners’ paperwork or incorrectly told them they didn’t qualify for help. The Treasury Department didn’t act quickly enough to force banks to abide by the rules of the program, housing advocates have said. Nearly 70% of the homeowners who applied for the program were rejected, according to government data.

A 2014 government report examined the record of four large mortgage servicers and found that black and Latino borrowers were denied entry into the program at a “significantly higher” rate. “Borrowers in substantially minority areas had at least 3% higher denial rates than their comparison populations of borrowers in nonsubstantially minority areas,” according to the Government Accountability Office. “Statistical differences in outcomes among population groups might suggest potential fair lending concerns that merit further examination.”

Obama's foreclosure prevention program has helped far fewer homeowners than expected

Or we could do something about the record inequality and upward mobility and hopelessness in the United States.... Crime is caused by poverty period if there were that many poor whites they would be the same. The average black family has 1/10 the wealth of the average white family and no they are not criminals more than whites. Amazingly. But their criminals are busy. Selling drugs to whites.. what a great GOP mess we have here.....

OR......you could STOP giving criminals and excuse to kill cops. GFY

How exactly do you "give an excuse" to execute two cops sitting in a police car harming no one?

it's murder and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law duh. On the other hand if Trump ordered body cameras turned on for every cop or something like that this kind of thing might end. But he only turns on his racist or totally misinformed or both Base and divides the country with pure obstruction and disrespect.

Well, tell blacks to stop committing so many crimes.

Yah, we told them. We also told whites who commit 64% of the crimes and the gop admin personell who committed 114 times the number of crimes as Dems. It did no good.
Talk is cheap. The Gop doesn’t listen.

Over half of murders in our country are perpetuated by blacks, who make up about 12% of the population.

Then of the “white” offenders, Hispanics and Latinos are lumped in with them, but they commit about half of those “white offender” murders.

Poverty produces crime, and the GOP produces poverty. 40 years of GOP giveaway to the rich has given us the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere. Great job! Change the channel for crying out loud.....

Inequality grew under Obama also.

Actually it did not.

Obama admits 95% of income gains gone to top 1%

Obama claims inequality falling even as income inequality soars

During Obama’s Presidency Wealth Inequality has Increased and Poverty Levels are Higher

Troubling and significant statistics produced by the government indicate important facts about our political system and its priorities. Unfortunately,

But continue to read why. It’s capitalism and . It’s the replacement of skilled labor that pays higher salary, with robotics. Now, dozens of highly skilled technicians do the job of hundreds of skilled manual laborers.
Just go into ANY MANUFACTURING PLANT over the years. These skilled people are now working in a service industry that plays less.

That has played a part BUT that is not even close to the issue overall.

See above.

Nope, .technology is THE DRIVING ISSUE OF HIGH PAYING job loss among non professional labor force. It’s why a high school degree was mandatory in the 1950’s and why a college degree is now. We have a shortage of millions of engineering and stem positions that can’t be filled by an uneducated populous. Oh, there are plenty of unskilled less educated low paying jobs that require multiple jobs to make a living, but as usual, education is the key.

We don't have millions of unfilled good paying jobs. What a crock.

Income inequality was already bad and while it did not improve, if Obama had not taken the steps he did it would have been worse and then there

Always with the excuses. Obama could have done a ton of things differently. He could have helped bail out the homeowners as opposed to the banks that forclosed on them.

No excuses. H.A.M.P.

When the Obama administration announced a massive effort to help distressed homeowners in 2009, it set high expectations. The program, government officials said, would keep up to 4 million borrowers out of foreclosure.

“It will give millions of families resigned to financial ruin a chance to rebuild,” Obama said at a event announcing the effort. “By bringing down the foreclosure rate, it will help shore up housing prices for everyone.”

Six years later, Obama is preparing to leave office, and the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, accepted its final applications Friday having helped a fraction of the homeowners government officials initially expected. About 1.6 million borrowers have seen their mortgage payments lowered through the program so far, but about a third of those people eventually fell behind on their payments again.

“The president set out an ambitious goal that wasn’t met,” said Kevin Stein, deputy director of the California Reinvestment Coalition, a housing advocacy group. “It was definitely a step forward and step in the right direction, but ... a lot of people ended up falling through the cracks.”


HAMP is one of the last remnants of the $700-billion taxpayer bailout effort, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, put in place during the financial crisis. About $28 billion of that money was carved out to help distressed homeowners by paying banks to lower their interest rates and monthly payments.

It was launched in the midst of one of the deepest housing crises in U.S. history. Millions of people had taken out subprime loans that they could no longer afford, sending foreclosure rates to record levels.

The Obama administration set out to save more homeowners from foreclosure, but the effort has been bedeviled by complaints that banks repeatedly lost homeowners’ paperwork or incorrectly told them they didn’t qualify for help. The Treasury Department didn’t act quickly enough to force banks to abide by the rules of the program, housing advocates have said. Nearly 70% of the homeowners who applied for the program were rejected, according to government data.

A 2014 government report examined the record of four large mortgage servicers and found that black and Latino borrowers were denied entry into the program at a “significantly higher” rate. “Borrowers in substantially minority areas had at least 3% higher denial rates than their comparison populations of borrowers in nonsubstantially minority areas,” according to the Government Accountability Office. “Statistical differences in outcomes among population groups might suggest potential fair lending concerns that merit further examination.”

Obama's foreclosure prevention program has helped far fewer homeowners than expected

Right, a scam program that boosted the 1%.

Supply side economics is the scam of decades

Wow, Tucker Carlson’s take on this was amazing. Will post video when it’s up.

The female was shot through the jaw, and was helping the other officer. All while several animals in the area were streaming them and laughing at them.

Do black people think this makes them look good?

Do whites think it makes them look good to defend police shooting an unarmed man 7 times in the back then trying to lie about him going for a gun?

Keep disobeying cops after breaking the law. You defend a rapist and a guy that was fighting with cops, and had a knife. Fuck him, they should had kept shooting until he was dead. Low IQ thugs like that are a danger to society, they have no place here. So move to Africa and live your life free of “racism”. But of course you won’t, because you’re a coward who loves white culture and knows it’s far superior to any African culture. So keep whining like a petulant little child, you all sound like pathetic bitches.

You were the one who asked if another poster had fought someone on PCP while being recorded and facing the possibility of being fired for a choke hold. And yes, law enforcement DOES have the authority to use lethal force if required. BTW, there are several ways of taking down and putting someone in custody that DOESN'T require lethal force, even if they are on drugs. I served for 4 years in the Security Force during my 20 years in the Navy. How much law enforcement have YOU done?

I posted nothing like that. In fact the quote tree shows YOU said that. Are you drunk?

HAMP is one of the last remnants of the $700-billion taxpayer bailout effort, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, put in place during the financial crisis. About $28 billion of that money was carved out to help distressed homeowners by paying banks to lower their interest rates and monthly payments.

It was launched in the midst of one of the deepest housing crises in U.S. history. Millions of people had taken out subprime loans that they could no longer afford, sending foreclosure rates to record levels.

The Obama administration set out to save more homeowners from foreclosure, but the effort has been bedeviled by complaints that banks repeatedly lost homeowners’ paperwork or incorrectly told them they didn’t qualify for help. The Treasury Department didn’t act quickly enough to force banks to abide by the rules of the program, housing advocates have said. Nearly 70% of the homeowners who applied for the program were rejected, according to government data.

A 2014 government report examined the record of four large mortgage servicers and found that black and Latino borrowers were denied entry into the program at a “significantly higher” rate. “Borrowers in substantially minority areas had at least 3% higher denial rates than their comparison populations of borrowers in nonsubstantially minority areas,” according to the Government Accountability Office. “Statistical differences in outcomes among population groups might suggest potential fair lending concerns that merit further examination.”

Obama's foreclosure prevention program has helped far fewer homeowners than expected

When the Obama administration announced a massive effort to help distressed homeowners in 2009, it set high expectations.

Right, a scam program that boosted the 1%.

Supply side economics is the scam of decades

Wow, Tucker Carlson’s take on this was amazing. Will post video when it’s up.

The female was shot through the jaw, and was helping the other officer. All while several animals in the area were streaming them and laughing at them.

Do black people think this makes them look good?

Do whites think it makes them look good to defend police shooting an unarmed man 7 times in the back then trying to lie about him going for a gun?

Keep disobeying cops after breaking the law. You defend a rapist and a guy that was fighting with cops, and had a knife. Fuck him, they should had kept shooting until he was dead. Low IQ thugs like that are a danger to society, they have no place here. So move to Africa and live your life free of “racism”. But of course you won’t, because you’re a coward who loves white culture and knows it’s far superior to any African culture. So keep whining like a petulant little child, you all sound like pathetic bitches.

So blacks get stopped four or five times as many as whites

Or we could do something about the record inequality and upward mobility and hopelessness in the United States.... Crime is caused by poverty period if there were that many poor whites they would be the same. The average black family has 1/10 the wealth of the average white family and no they are not criminals more than whites. Amazingly. But their criminals are busy. Selling drugs to whites.. what a great GOP mess we have here.....

OR......you could STOP giving criminals and excuse to kill cops. GFY

How exactly do you "give an excuse" to execute two cops sitting in a police car harming no one?

it's murder and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law duh. On the other hand if Trump ordered body cameras turned on for every cop or something like that this kind of thing might end. But he only turns on his racist or totally misinformed or both Base and divides the country with pure obstruction and disrespect.

Well, tell blacks to stop committing so many crimes.

Yah, we told them. We also told whites who commit 64% of the crimes and the gop admin personell who committed 114 times the number of crimes as Dems. It did no good.
Talk is cheap. The Gop doesn’t listen.

Over half of murders in our country are perpetuated by blacks, who make up about 12% of the population.

Then of the “white” offenders, Hispanics and Latinos are lumped in with them, but they commit about half of those “white offender” murders.

Poverty produces crime, and the GOP produces poverty. 40 years of GOP giveaway to the rich has given us the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere. Great job! Change the channel for crying out loud.....

Inequality grew under Obama also.

Actually it did not.

Obama admits 95% of income gains gone to top 1%

Obama claims inequality falling even as income inequality soars

During Obama’s Presidency Wealth Inequality has Increased and Poverty Levels are Higher

Troubling and significant statistics produced by the government indicate important facts about our political system and its priorities. Unfortunately,

www.counterpunch.org

But continue to read why. It’s capitalism and . It’s the replacement of skilled labor that pays higher salary, with robotics. Now, dozens of highly skilled technicians do the job of hundreds of skilled manual laborers.
Just go into ANY MANUFACTURING PLANT over the years. These skilled people are now working in a service industry that plays less.

That has played a part BUT that is not even close to the issue overall.

See above.

Nope, .technology is THE DRIVING ISSUE OF HIGH PAYING job loss among non professional labor force. It’s why a high school degree was mandatory in the 1950’s and why a college degree is now. We have a shortage of millions of engineering and stem positions that can’t be filled by an uneducated populous. Oh, there are plenty of unskilled less educated low paying jobs that require multiple jobs to make a living, but as usual, education is the key.

A college education that the GOP has made more and more expensive the last 40 50 years. One of Ronald Reagan's big things starting as governor. Hence the worst upward mobility ever anywhere.... Only a garbage propaganda imaginary planet makes it possible. Thanks gop!

The cost of education hasn't gone down under the Democrats either because they keep on rejecting candidates that want to address that.

Besides that, that has nothing to do with what was being discussed.

The gop is glad to write checks to donors, the rich and the pentagon . Let anyone suggest we help the poor with education and they set their hair on Fire.

Income inequality was already bad and while it did not improve, if Obama had not taken the steps he did it would have been worse and then there

Always with the excuses. Obama could have done a ton of things differently. He could have helped bail out the homeowners as opposed to the banks that forclosed on them.

No excuses. H.A.M.P.

When the Obama administration announced a massive effort to help distressed homeowners in 2009, it set high expectations. The program, government officials said, would keep up to 4 million borrowers out of foreclosure.

“It will give millions of families resigned to financial ruin a chance to rebuild,” Obama said at a event announcing the effort. “By bringing down the foreclosure rate, it will help shore up housing prices for everyone.”

Six years later, Obama is preparing to leave office, and the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, accepted its final applications Friday having helped a fraction of the homeowners government officials initially expected. About 1.6 million borrowers have seen their mortgage payments lowered through the program so far, but about a third of those people eventually fell behind on their payments again.

But our education system is groomer our boys to become transgender studies degrees, instead of useful ones. I sit on interview boards occasionally and it’s shocking how few people are qualified, even though on paper they look good.

You were the one who asked if another poster had fought someone on PCP while being recorded and facing the possibility of being fired for a choke hold. And yes, law enforcement DOES have the authority to use lethal force if required. BTW, there are several ways of taking down and putting someone in custody that DOESN'T require lethal force, even if they are on drugs. I served for 4 years in the Security Force during my 20 years in the Navy. How much law enforcement have YOU done?

I posted nothing like that. In fact the quote tree shows YOU said that. Are you drunk?

It was I who said it; it's just a mistake.
