"P.S. Delete your account."

You first. How unsurprising that you have no response to BLM leaders condemning the shooting, nor do you seem to care about the murders carried out by the police this week. 


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I care deeply. I am appalled by police brutality and over-excessive use of force. It is unforgivable. I, too, hope you feel the same passion and grief and pain and empathy over the tragic loss of five innocent police officers. Right?

It is stupid and evil to blame a whole movement for the police being killed. Just like it is stupid and evil to blame all police for bad police shooting.

"Delete your account" is to the Social Media Age what "kill yourself and save the world" was to the socially-active punk scene in the 1980s. The more things change, the more they get digital.

Yes, of course I'm troubled by that and no officers deserve to be killed. Unlike you, however, I have the ability to separate the larger Black Lives Matter movement from the actions of a lone lunatic.

War on Police continues.

A St. Louis-area cop was shot during a traffic stop Friday — just a day after five Dallas police officers were killed while protecting an anti-police brutality protest.

The cop was walking back to his patrol car after ticketing a driver for speeding in Ballwin, a suburb of St. Louis, KSDK reported. The driver got out of his pulled-over car, shot the officer in the neck three times and fled, sources said.

The Ballwin officer was rushed to a local hospital in an unknown condition.

At any rate, there is no War on Police just like there is no War on Christmas.

Both are reductionist phrases coined by stupid people looking to inflame other people who are even stupider.

Who is she?

In sticking to the topic, I'm dumbfounded over the blatant racism shown in the past four instances. What will happen to remedy the problem? I fear nothing.

No one deserves to die in the way those police officers did or in the hands of inept police officers. 

I am disgusted by the blatant racism exhibited by a handful of moronic posters who unfortunately frequent these boards.

I'm tired of people being so rude when these things happen.  Having sympathy for the cops who died and wanting change for the people who unrightfully get killed by the incompetent cops is possible.  I'm fed up of the cops I know who do anything to defend any cop. One posted a video trying to justify why Alton Sterling was shot and killed.  Another generalized all protesters as hating cops. I've also seen people threatening to unfriend people on Facebook because they don't share the same views on this.  I think it's really sad when the most intelligent sounding conversations come from The Daily Show.

I am having arguments with people saying I shouldn't combine the cop killings when discussing the two Black Men shot by Police Officers. ONE, WHO HAD A FCUKING 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR! They are however tied to each other. Both are very sad, both very angering, both are systemic however of a very serious problem we have in this country. My partner was from a Cop family. I know a hell of a lot of cops. All of them good cops. However they have told stories of guys they work with that would raise the hair on the back of your neck. I think it is time for the Brotherhood of Blue to stop protecting these bad apples. If something is not done, more good and conscientious cops will be placed in harm's way.

A NOTE ABOUT THE LAST FEW DAYS

From: Hillary Clinton

 

PalJoey -- 

Like so many people across America, I have been following the news of the past few days with horror and grief.

On Tuesday, Alton Sterling, father of five, was killed in Baton Rouge -- approached by the police for selling CDs outside a convenience store. On Wednesday, Philando Castile, 32 years old, was killed outside Minneapolis -- pulled over by the police for a broken tail light.

And last night in Dallas, during a peaceful protest related to those killings, a sniper targeted police officers -- five have died: Brent Thompson, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Michael Smith, and Lorne Ahrens. Their names, too, will be written on our hearts.

What can one say about events like these? It’s hard to know where to start. For now, let’s focus on what we already know, deep in our hearts: There is something wrong in our country.

There is too much violence, too much hate, too much senseless killing, too many people dead who shouldn’t be. No one has all the answers. We have to find them together. Indeed, that is the only way we can find them.

Let’s begin with something simple but vital: listening to each other.

White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about seen and unseen barriers faced daily. We need to try, as best we can, to walk in one another’s shoes. To imagine what it would be like if people followed us around stores, or locked their car doors when we walked past, or if every time our children went to play in the park, or just to the store to buy iced tea and Skittles, we said a prayer: “Please God, don’t let anything happen to my baby.”

Let’s also put ourselves in the shoes of police officers, kissing their kids and spouses goodbye every day and heading off to do a dangerous job we need them to do. Remember what those officers in Dallas were doing when they died: They were protecting a peaceful march. When gunfire broke out and everyone ran to safety, the police officers ran the other way -- into the gunfire. That’s the kind of courage our police and first responders show all across America.

We need to ask ourselves every single day: What can I do to stop violence and promote justice? How can I show that your life matters -- that we have a stake in another’s safety and well-being?

Elie Wiesel once said that “the opposite of love is not hate -- it’s indifference. And the opposite of life is not death -- it’s indifference.”

None of us can afford to be indifferent toward each other -- not now, not ever. We have a lot of work to do, and we don’t have a moment to lose. People are crying out for criminal justice reform. People are also crying out for relief from gun violence. The families of the lost are trying to tell us. We need to listen. We need to act.

I know that, just by saying all these things together, I may upset some people.

I’m talking about criminal justice reform the day after a horrific attack on police officers. I’m talking about courageous, honorable police officers just a few days after officer-involved killings in Louisiana and Minnesota. I’m bringing up guns in a country where merely talking about comprehensive background checks, limits on assault weapons and the size of ammunition clips gets you demonized.

But all these things can be true at once.

We do need police and criminal justice reforms, to save lives and make sure all Americans are treated as equal in rights and dignity.

We do need to support police departments and stand up for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect us.

We do need to reduce gun violence.

We may disagree about how, but surely we can all agree with those basic premises. Surely this week showed us how true they are.

I’ve been thinking today about a passage from Scripture that means a great deal to me -- maybe you know it, too:

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.”

There is good work for us to do, to find a path ahead for all God’s children. There are lost lives to redeem and bright futures to claim. We must not lose heart.

May the memory of those we’ve lost light our way toward the future our children deserve.

Thank you, 

Hillary

It is very eloquent and most people would agree with her thoughtful and even handed comments. Sadly, we are so fractured politically that addressing the multitude of issues which have created this situation becomes a nightmare. There are no moderates left to be just as even handed in their actions beyond the words.

Who do we have in Congress and in our different communities who can effect positive change? I wish some leaders would step forward.

But I respect Hillary's comments on this issue.

The Jesusy stuff aside (I know, I know, every politician has to get that in there), that was a very thoughtful, balanced and eloquent response to this past week.  Well done, Hills.  What's the source?  An email to supporters?
