COPS is a media product. Do you trust the media that much?

All these conservatives that love big government policing and the media...the New Free Republic?

Nowadays you do have to arm up like a soldier to deal with the thugs.

I've seen these guys armed to the hilt while eating lunch in the suburbs. That tells you who really is about to crap themselves. If you're scared, get a different job.

The police enforce the laws, the community obeys the law, we get along fine. We speak to the police politely, we comply with their orders, we don’t have a problem.

The specifics of Ferguson aside, I'm not sure Samuel Adams or Thomas Jefferson would appreciate that particular attitude of submission.

The problem in Ferguson isn't that the residents "refuse to submit" to the police, it's that the leading citizens of Ferguson have no moral authority to set the town's standards of behavior by example, which in turn requires entirely too much police interaction to make the place livable.

Since I’ve worked around COPS - I’d bet on them before I’d ever bet on anybody in the media.

Yes, it’s a “reality” show .. but it is a good sample of what a police officer really has to do on the job. Never having been a police officer (for most people), at least they can get a sense of what the COP’s life is like.

If you’re convinced it’s fake .. well good luck with that.

Yeah, I agree. Putting clues together is very interesting.

On cable is a network - IDHD - where they have a program called “Homicide Hunter”. It’s a true program - in that the real homicide investigator tells the stories of his career as an investigator. It’s really fascinating.

Exactly! It’s all the same mindset: Israel and USA are bad and deserve to have their whole countries burned to the ground.

And .. They teach little boys to strangle puppies, while they repeat the statement, “this is the dog the Jew, and this is what I can do to the dog the Jew”.

And .. They teach little girls to cut the head off a snake, while they repeat the statement, “this is the snake the Jew, and this is what I can do to the snake the Jew”.

And then, people wonder why these youths are willing to strap bombs on themselves and blow up people.

It’s as fake as the evening news.

The proof is the same thing happened in 2012 in Sanford, Texas.

Two innocent black children clutching bibles shot down in cold blood by an evil white or half-white monster, and Eric Holder visits the scene to coordinate.

Of course King Obama was mad. Someone killed one of the King’s Deer.

“if they don’t want to live in a burnt out, robbed out ghetto, it was up to them to decide to defend it.”

Apparently some of that went on last night. According to one Freeper some residents of one neighborhood banded together and fired shots to deter a large crowd of rioters.

Your point that these black, negative attitudes towards whites and law enforcement predates Obama and Holder is valid. But my point is, this country has never had a president and attorney general who personally and in their official capacities, overtly and publicly, stirred up the ant bed of racial divide and bigotry like these two have. If we have, I don't remember who it would have been.

I believe Obama's attitude that he can violate the constitution and law whenever he wants, sets a tone for the country, especially to those prone to lawlessness and criminality already, that it is okay to break the law if you don't agree with it. Holder is in contempt of Congress but has given them the big middle finger instead of being held accountable. These are the two top law enforcement and black leaders of this country for the last six years. They personally and professionally set an extremely poor example for citizens in the country to follow. But their words and behavior also encourages the black community that they can do the same thing and get away with it.

The problem is the continued indoctrination of minority children .. into a group of hating, fighting, envious, thieving, killing THUGS. These children deserve better.

Sorta sounds like the middle east doesn't it. Yea. Jews, blacks, infidels, what's the difference. Hate is hate and when it is taught to CHILDREN it must anger a just God. Teaching children to hate is a mortal sin deserving of eternal damnation.

It reminds me of a song from a long-ago movie .. “We’ve got to be taught to hate”.

I think the movie was “South Pacific”.

I agree, these incidents were selected and fabricated by Obama forces to polarize the races.

St. Trayvon is the most amazing. Look at the phony pictures all the Obama media ran from the first day of the “innocent child,” when in fact the guy was a gold-grilled gangbanger.

The whole thing was rigged to create a narrative that was totally false, and unfortunately a Hispanic protecting his neighborhood who was jumped by a feral playing the Knockout Game became the victim.

The leftist media has come a long way since Dan Rather did his phony National Guard reports.
