City councilwoman's tweet compares police to terrorists
WSOCTV ^ | May 17, 2018

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Several police officers have contacted Channel 9, upset about a tweet from Charlotte City Councilwoman Lawana Mayfield.

The tweet was posted in March but it’s getting more attention during National Police Week.

"Being black in America under number 45 has created homegrown terrorist wearing blue uniforms," the tweet read.

The tweet was posted after an officer-involved shooting in Sacramento. An officer shot and killed an unarmed black man while responding to a call about break-ins.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers said the tweet from Mayfield was inappropriate, especially as they are asking the City Council for a pay raise and are trying to recruit more officers.

Without looking, let me guess Lawana’s “complexion.”

...and, yet, the police are the only people that should have guns...right, liberals?

“Being black in America under number 45 has created homegrown terrorist wearing blue uniforms,” the tweet read.


Is this talk of “45” hinting that Trump is the 45th president, thus, these controversial incidents are Trump’s fault? Then how do they explain how Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, etc. happened when Obama was president? Did Obama cultivate a climate of police terrorism too? Do facts even matter to anyone?

Nope. Don’t even have to guess. Remember Rorke’s Drift.

Stopped reading after “Lawana”.
Stereotyped? Most certainly.
Why?
Because when 99.9999999999999% of these utterances invariably are demonstrably idiotic, and stupid, what other conclusion can be drawn?
Thankfully, I am fortunate to know a good many African-Americans.
None of them subscribe to such idiocy.
Perhaps it’s due to the fact that all of them received REAL university degrees. In difficult subjects. Without quotas.
So, they are proud of what they are due to their own work and success.

Maybe she was referring to what she got smashed on last night:

Police are managed by the city. I’ve noticed that every time a “police abused/killed an unarmed black man” claim is made, it happened in democrat city.

How about this gem:

A Charlotte, North Carolina, city councilwoman is under fire after a Facebook post that questioned the validity of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center.

On her personal Facebook page, LaWana Mayfield publicly shared a fake news article claiming a scientific journal determined the collapse of the Twin Towers was a controlled demolition.Springfield News-Sun

If she is to be harmed, it will undoubtedly most likely be by another black person.

What a police-hating piece of work. Just think...some voters elected her. Is there any hope for the future?

Perhaps she's a self-proclaimed metallurgic specialist like Rosie O'Donnell.
