Didn't see that one coming...

Why would anyone want to be in that line of duty now.

DQ, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now. This is why, IMO, the current President has done more harm than good on relations between the African American community and law enforcement. He paints with a broad brush and jumps on these officer involved shootings immediately, politicizing them and condemning the LEOs. And thus the community at large feels empowered to protest all over the country against all cops, 99% of whom are doing their job the right way. And yet I doubt the white PA cop shot 7 times a week or so ago got so much as a get well card from the Prez. If he's not out tonight with a statement condemning this then he's a hypocrite.

I couldn't agree more.

He did so get off your white high horse!

[Dim Bulb]

Yeah, but if you read his statement

He did so get off your white high horse!

He wasn't as condemning of this crime as the crimes by the police. And, in fact, if you parse the words, they appear to have been coordinated with James Comey's statement, with Hillary Clinton's murder of Vince Foster, Bill Clinton's rape of the magi, and John Wilkes Booth's incriminating statement to the horse in the barn where he breathed his last breaths, the cur.

President Barack Obama on Friday sharply condemned the shootings of Dallas police officers the previous night as a "vicious, calculated and despicable attack," saying there is no possible justification for violence against law enforcement.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims.

Obama should learn that black citizens need to be treated a second-class citizens and ignore any institutionalized racism.

By bringing it up, he just lets the blacks think that they should have equal rights and a very small minority of them, obviously the mentally ill ones that have perfectly legal, 2nd Amendment protected access to guns, take things too far.

Now, conservatives using dog whistles about race and painting groups of people with a broad brush has nothing to do with the white, Christian nut-jobs that shoot up churches, bomb office buildings, etc. I mean, these incidents happen so infrequently that you can't make a connection.

But clearly, Obama caused this incident.

[Riccardo]

No it's much more simple

Obama should just STFU until the facts are clear

Obama should just STFU until the facts are clear

But if you don't jump to conclusions and continue with the "Hey look over there" diversions that have been the trademark of this administration, who are you going to blame for this failed economy that has hurt the middle class and poor especially the young black population more than anyone, and that was the segment of this population that Obama had promised would benefit employment wise when he was running for election AND re-election, it has never happened, that segment is worse off now than ever.

Ha ha, you always know how to put things in perspective. Thx

Another cop in Missouri shot in the neck on a traffic stop this morning...officers in GA and Tenn shot as well. Sickening.
