Quote"While we appreciate the right of our citizens to protest and applaud the fact that, to date, the protests have been peaceful, we are very concerned about the rhetoric of the protests. In fact, the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob in that they are calling for the immediate imprisonment of these officers," wrote Gene Ryan, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3.

Who's the real mob here? I am sure police officers are not that bad as portrayed by liberal public and blacks are not so innocent as some believe. There's no fire without smoke. If police union risks its reputation - they can easily be called racists for doing so - there is a clear reason behind the incident. Unfortunately we do not know what exactly the riot has been chanting but one thing is clear. 'Some categories of citizens' simply don't know what peaceful protest really means.

They're worried about the 'rhetoric'? The protestors are worried about getting their necks broken in custody.

Thou shalt not protest against police brutality!

And who do they call first when they need help? This whole debacle is being fed by the Marxist, anyone thinks that people are being targeted by police needs to wake up.
Sure there are incidents, but those are being blown way out of proportion.
Do you honestly think this is a legitimate protest?

Tell me you don't see that?

The anti-cop movement has the chant to kill cops.  Professional rabel rousers, who are communists and anarchists come into communities to pour gasoline on the fires.  They forget that police are human beings who are trying to do a very difficult job.  Cops want to go home to their families at the end of the shift and beleive it or not "Cop Lives Matter"!  When push comes to shove, it kind of reminds me of the old Steve McQueen Movie "The Sand Pebbles".  The 'demostrators' just keep becoming more and more outrageously violent in their provocation until they achieve their desired goal.  Somebody reacts (contrary to orders; since the authorities know this is going to give them exactly what they want!)

The professional outside agitators use whatever useful idiots they can enlist to do thier bidding, pumping them up with false narratives like "Hands up! Don't Shoot! and that cops are killing black people for no good reason!  (then along comes an isolated incident or two and the BIG LIE becomes a truth; the fact of the justice system working correctly to address these isolated incidents, doesn't register with those who want CHANGE (what they really want is anarchy; to tear this whole country down! ... just like "the student" led "demonstrators in "The Sand Pebbles"

Yep, this fall under more evidence that the Marxist to destroy the country.
The great uniter turned out to be the great divider.

ALWAYS expect liberals to do the opposite of what they say they will do.  It is an axiom.   

One of these days, a whole police force is going to walk out. Total chaos will result with lots of murder and mayhem.  Where will the race baiters be then?

He was standing and talking when he got into the van. He was so unruly that the van pulled over and put him in leg irons. Something happened in the van! Also note there was another prisoner in the van with him. Another witness! It will be interesting to hear what he says!

" Hands up; Don't Shoot " demonstrated that the facts of any case don't matter to the mob.  This mob rule reminds me of the foreshadowing of the lawlessness to come, when Obama blew his dog whistle and together the SEIU and Acorn decided to "demonstrate" outside the private homes of wall streeters.  Guilt of innocense of individual or the collateral damage down to their families or neighboors made no matter to the jscak booted brown shit army of the  Messiah of CHANGE!

Remember back to the white police officers who raped and beat and then defecated on Twanna Brawley.  The mob was whipped into a frenzy by the guy who's now the civil rights advisor to Obama and a frequent guest at the Whitehouse.  The only problem is...Twanna Brawley recanted and said she made up the whole story.  Biy, don't that sound like the Duke Lacross Team case.  Facts don't matter, the hype drives whatever template needs to be fed to the media.

Disclosure: I voted for Ron Paul twice. I also have family who are retired law enforcement.
But I still see this as a worrisome trend.

There are too many incidents where people call the police for help and are sorry they did.
These are not made up, nor are they out of context.  There is definitely a problem which will not be solved if it's ignored.

Here's another example:

I don't think most people realize what the police have to deal with everyday.  Maybe if people were raised to follow the laws and be respectful to one another, we wouldn't be hearing about these things. 

Unfortunately, most of the lawbreakers today aren't like Auntie Beas not using their right hand turn signals in Mayberry.

It's a tiny percent that screw up like this and usually get sued over the incident and the taxpayer winds up footing the bill..
And when election time rolls around, the appointee and the Mayor get canned.

How many calls to 911 do you think occur every second of the day in this country, and how many of those wind up like your video, which I can't watch.
What you're doing is using a few incidents to use a broad brush to paint all law enforcement with.
Stop it!
