The Police Acted Stupidly
What Do We Want? When Do We Want It?

On Saturday, Dec. 20, the fatal shooting of two New York Police Department officers caused quite a controversy among law enforcement, government officials, and pro-police groups. Of course, many Americans were flabbergasted by Ismaaiyl Brinsley’s execution-style shooting of the officers. But, unfortunately, there were actually people who found his actions commendable.
According to The Daily Beast, several eyewitnesses claimed there were actually people on the scene who celebrated, laughed and mocked the death of the two fallen cops. One witness, identified as Carlos, reportedly shared details about the celebratory actions of some who witnessed the killing.
“A lot of people were clapping and laughing. Some were saying, ‘They deserved it,’ and another was shouting at the cops, ‘Serves them right because you mistreat people!'”
The disheartening celebration has reportedly expanded to the cyber world as well. As previously reported on Inquisitr, a Facebook page was created to celebrate the officers’ death. Surprisingly, the “Cop Block” Facebook page has more than one million followers....

If only there were some way to let these people who celebrated know what life would be without any police protection without punishing their neighbors who don’t fell that way. These anarchists enjoy all the trappings of civil society while trying to tear it down. Too bad we can’t take away the common good of a civil society from just those people.
Unless you are with the POLICE KILLERS, the subject of both the article and my comment, you have no point. If you are with them, you are evil.
Next time read!
The article and my comment are about people who celebrated the police murders on the spot.
Go to hell.

What Do We Want? When Do We Want It?
You first!
In your opinion, what should be done to those who celebrated?
We used to have a society which would not tolerate cop killers. We still should not. We can’t survive becoming some version of Beirut. Maybe you think we should stand by while cold blooded murder is celebrated in front of us. I do not.
***Anyone celebrating the death of someone is psychotic at the least.***
Oh I don’t know. I have an old song from WWII by Irving Berlin.
Satan, Satan, thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
When they lay him twelve feet deep
I’ll be there to laugh, not weep
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Satan’ll take him by the hand
To meet old Gerring, look what, man
When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
Some fine day the news’ll flash
Satan with a small moustache
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone
What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
When a certain man is dead and gone
To be more specific, those who celebrated should have needed immediate police protection. Because decent people should have chased them off under threat of attack. Is there nothing that merits an old fashioned ass whooping anymore?
I blame our elected officials for crafting a lawyerocracy and for making the lives of law enforcement so much more stressful than it has to be. God bless our men and women in law enforcement.
The Garner tragedy is being hijacked by people bent on creating a world that isn’t safe for the Eric Garners of the world to poke their noses out their front doors.
It isn’t a racist thing, there is a case in PA of a white guy being shot to death, in the back, trapped and no longer resisting (he had been armed with a knife). You aren’t going to see Rev. Sharpton taking umbrage to that though :(
On dashcam.
A stupid guess.
Well said.
“Maybe you think we should stand by while cold blooded murder is celebrated in front of us. I do not”
I didn’t advocate any such thing, but it didn’t take you long to slap me with your hypothetical broad brush.
Please re-read my question.
I answered your question in a later comment.
Two sides of the same coin.
I am not with the killers but I don’t have to be 100% against them, either.
Why?
Because when video of cops putting a man in a chokehold is apparently not sufficient evidence of cops putting a man in a chokehold then I can see why some people would become unreasonable in their response.
Myself, I’ve become frustrated with the tortured logic and tortured language of too many FReepers in response to the Garner incident. Some idiot invented “the seat belt maneuver” to explain away the chokehold as if changing the name would change the facts. And then another group of people got caught up with the previous history of the victim as if that justified the man’s death.
By that same standard then anyone who gets too many parking citations probably has it coming to them if the police kill them while arresting them for their latest parking meter violation.
And why not? Apparently being a habitual but low level offender is not a death penalty offense in this country.
In any case, I’m not so committed to our new police state as some are and I certainly do not worship people who wear badges. Just as Julius Caesar was ‘just a man’ then so are these people who are supposed to serve the public and not rule them with unchecked arrogance. They do a dangerous job and I am grateful to them for doing it but I do not attribute infallibility to them and I believe that the current demi-god status that they enjoy puts everyone in real danger.
Think it through: Right now if a cop stopped you while driving alone on a rural road and had you exit your car and then summarily executed you they’re probably going to get away with it. All they need say is, “I was in fear for my life”.
And then you can count on too many people on this very site to take the cops’ side and then scrutinize your life for flaws which they’ll use to justify your murder.
Thinking about it, I’m sure this scenario has happened too many times already.
Decent people in NYC are “technically” unarmed and labelled as racist, homophobic nazis or worse.
Decent people in NY, and elsewhere, are being told to shut up, pay up & disarm. OR ELSE.
You wanna be THAT guy? That racist party pooper?
Good luck with that.
Dollars to proverbial donuts, you give an ass-whooping to a truly deserving creep in NY, YOU will be labelled the bad guy.
Sharpton, Obama, DeBlasio and Holder poured gasoline to the race hatred fire, but also share responsibility the companies that finance Sharpton’s race war.
These are some of the companies that finance Sharpton’s race war, Walmart, Anheuser-Busch, Macy’s, Pfizer, NY Developer Forest City Ratner, MGM, Pepsi, Macy’s, Honda, Chrysler, General Motors, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase. Al Sharpton is able to fly around the country advocating for violent protests and the murder of cops because many of the nation’s top corporations have fallen for his shakedown efforts and give him millions to fund his activities. It is time to pressure these corporations to stop finding this charlatan’s efforts.
I wonder if the people who live in NYC are American citizens.
