Scarborough To Sharpton: Police Shootings 'Got To Be Terribly Frustrating For You'

Talk about sickeningly misplaced sympathies . . . Waking up to the news that two police officers had been shot during a protest in Ferguson, MO last night, and turning on Morning Joe, I expected the first interviews to be with family members of the wounded policemen, or perhaps with the head of a police organization, condemning the outrage.
Instead, there were Al Sharpton, and Marc Morial [of the National Urban League.] And rather than focusing on the wounded policemen, Scarborough's first line to Sharpton painted him as a victim: "this has got to be terribly frustrating to you." Even more outrageous was Morial's statement that even after the resignation of several officials in Ferguson, the shootings show "that people want further change." Incredibly, Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, instead of bringing the focus back onto the victims, seconded Morial's notion.

We know where the sympathies of the white house controlled media lie.

Of course conservatives will never even place any hint of responsibility upon these vermin for their rhetoric. Nope, we’ll get essay upon essays telling us little conservative people what the left really, really, really means, and the leftist vermin per usual escape any accountability.

Frustrating.......this is exactly what Sharpton was trying to advocate in his marches and protests. Joe and Mika gave him another opportunity to push his agenda which is to kill more white policemen.

This POS Sharpton has blood on his hands.
Not the first time he has instigated violence.
This is exactly what he wanted and he got it!
Joe is simply disgusting.
And what the hell were they protesting, the Chief had resigned?

Yo, JoJo, it’s how Al promotes his scam, you dolt.

Prayers up for the officers and their families.
I saw the video this morning and heard that poor officer screaming.

Sounds more like something clueless Mika would say and mean it.

Frustrating, isn’t it? Essays are the weapon of choice for conservatives. Ineffective, but it makes them look outraged.

It's amazing to me that organizations like CPAC treat Scarborough as a conservative.
He's as disgusting as Sharpton.

Would someone please tell me, just why in Hell any white cop is still in Ferguson, MO.
Just like Iraq, Ferguson is lost. Let them have it. Move on to a more defensive position. Some place where you can at least defend yourselves.
