Sad news. I know cops are in danger 24/7, but they need to be extra vigilant during these final days of Obama’s reign of terror.

BLM terrorism strikes again!

[stockpirate]

Blavk Lives Matter and Nation of Islam leader have called for murdering police officers.

Inciting murder is illegal, our FBI and DOJ should be investgating both groups, NOW.

They just reported on Fox that SEVEN officers were shot, 2 dead.

[acoulterfan]

Before long some of the families of these slain officers are going to refuse to meet with Obama if he offers his “sympathies”. I am surprised that they haven’t thus far.

[freedumb2003]

>>Inciting murder is illegal, our FBI and DOJ should be investgating both groups, NOW.<<

This FBI/DOJ? They won’t even go after someone they know and STATE is GUILTY! Why would they waste resources going after domestic terrorists known to be minorities when there are so many whites to be prosecuted for the crime of being born white?

[blam]

BLM, OBAMA and Lynch are responsible for these deaths.

Didn't Lynch tell BLM not to be disappointed?

[SMGFan]

now 3 killed, this is an outrage

[HomerBohn]

Thanks to Obama and his hand-picked collection of perverts to help him ruin America a state of war now exists between negroes and the rest of America.
