Very sad day in the USA when someone can walk up to a police car, pull a gun and kill the occupants, and right after he bragged that he was going to do it.

I was referring to it not having a thread of it's own here. It's all over the media. I'm not blind or deaf!

Not everything gets its own thread when there already is a close to topic perfectly good thread handy.

Outrage too strongly depends on current "public mood", unfortunately. When murder accepted as "act of justice" widely we get "terrorist countries" bombing, "terrorists eliminating" and so on... In view of last discussions of police tyranny in USA such murders could be viewed just as "act of justice from the bottom"... Murder is double-edged. If one kills too easy be prepared to be easely killed too...

To be clear, I don't approve any murder, police officers including. It's just some possible explanation why it starts to happen right now in very that country...

Exactly +10

The two police officers that were murdered were not involved in the act that started this most recent violence. They had families and loved ones. Who speaks out for them?

Bob...

Perhaps the, Pro-Criminal, Pro-Criminal Rioter's, Pro-Criminal Perjurer's in a Grand Jury (why aren't they Prosecuted?), Pro-Racial Dividing Bigots, Blacks can not be held to the same level of Responsibility - as Non-Blacks, Most Whites Are, Most Police Are, are ashamed.

NOT!!!

:) :) :)

oh..you want blacks held to the same level of responsibility as whites? That would be awesome.

How about we start with headlines such as "this was the lone act of a disturbed individual" like you do when a white person does something like this.

Then, if you really want to treat him as if he were white, make sure you do an in depth analysis of his tragic life and try to figure out where it all went so wrong for him that he would try to kill his girlfriend and then go on to shoot to policemen.

If you are not doing that then you are not holding him to same standards as white people.

So I applaud your sentiment. Let's please hold him to the same standards as a white person.

The entire media, the entire police force, the entire justice system, the families of the murdered black men.

Isn't that enough for you?

Apparently it isn't. Perhaps he is feeling a bit persecuted.

FWIW, there is a good bit of overt white power racism on display in this thread. Perhaps when all police officers, not just a fraction, don't start conversations, "What you up to BOY?" then there will not be feelings of an occupying evil force to be resisted. One bad apple does enormous damage. Respect for police should come from their actions, not their guns.

I try to avoid the news media as much as possible. I have no idea what ethnic origin the two police officers had nor do I care. It is just as despicable if they were two black officers, two hispanic or two Irish or any combination of backgrounds. For that matter if it is proved that the earlier shooting of civilians was unjustified the cops that committed the crime are just as despicable. But the first wrong does not in any way justify the latter.
