Online rants, anti-government radicals fuel fear of U.S. cop killings
Yahoo! News ^ | 7/14/14 | Jason Sickles

The celebrating began before the coroner could collect the bodies of Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo, the Las Vegas patrol officers ambushed and executed while eating at a pizzeria last month.

“The good news is, there are two less police in the world,” read an entry on the Facebook page for CopBlock.org.

The post was visible for less than a day, but it attracted at least 6,300 likes and comments by the time the page’s administrators removed it.

Jerad Miller — who along with his wife, Amanda, gunned down the Vegas police officers before dying during a shootout with police — was one of Cop Block’s 780,000-plus Facebook fans.

The decentralized advocacy group says it disavows violence while spreading a belief that “badges don’t grant extra rights.”

But the Millers, described by investigators as anti-government extremists, had a deadly animosity for authority.

Such shameless bravado — online and off — and an exploding right-wing movement are creating anxiety about attacks against police.

“There's a deep concern that there has been a measurable increase in violence against police officers, especially with firearms,” said Rich Roberts, spokesman for the International Union of Police Associations. The anti-police movement “seems to feed off each other online,” he said.

Last week the SPLC issued a report warning law enforcement about the increasingly hostile anti-government movement, which it estimates has grown from 150 groups in 2008 to nearly 1,100 last year.

The economic crisis, proposed gun control, Barack Obama’s election, NSA spying and the militarization of police among other issues have spurred the resurgence, the watchdog organization said.

I had an Ann Arbor cop living next door for a while. He moved here because it was safer for his wife and kids than in oh so tolerant and loving Ann Arbor. He said he spent all his time worrying about them in Ann Arbor but here in conservative town he never had to worry about them while he was working.

He said the peace lovers in Ann Arbor followed him home, followed his wife around, vandalized his house and said they know where his daughters go to school.

Jack booted thugs in tacti-cool riot gear can only shoot so many dogs before people start getting pissed. I don’t wish harm to anyone, but the cops are bringing it on themselves.

Same old performers, same old song and dance. Apparently leftist pot-smokers, certified psychotics, and inner-city thugs are now "right-wing terrorists."

Don't forget "Occupy retards", as they were that too.

That is how we citizens can ‘control’ the cops and elected officials in our towns. Know where they live. Know what car their wife drives. Know what school their kids go to.

>>those unexplained millions or billions of rounds of ammo that Zero and his cadre bought and stockpiled —<< are primarily handgun ammo. Therefore they are not the concern there would be if they were lonbg range rifle ammo. IMO. Having custody of a loaded weapon does not arm you. The skill to use the weapon is what arms a man.

Conflict is inevitable; Combat is an option. Train for the fight.

Introduce your rifle to the world of long range targets. Long range precision shooting covered in detail.
Here is 85 videos that will guide you through each step in learning how to hit long range targets.

When the thugs come for you I’ll remember that you ‘passed’ on knowing how to control them.

When you become the leftist you deserve and will get the same as the leftist.

Only bottom feeding scum would suggest that I should treat my neighbor like crap because that’s the way the left does it.

I didn’t say treat him like scum. He has all the potential to be a JBT. If he chooses to become one that’s when you put the knowledge you gathered to work.

Let him know that if he joins the gun confiscation teams that there’s a good chance he’ll come home to a pile of ashes. If he chooses to support the Constitution and his oath then he’s a freeman with no worries.
