War on the Police

Apparently war has been declared on our police.  Certain factions seem to think lit is ok to murder them.  And as much as I hate to say this, our president, attorney general and the mayor of New York have blood on their hands because they, in their support of the Ferguson protestors, nodded their acceptance of this.  We see no reports of any killings by the police if it is white on white or if it is a black police officer doing the killing.  Our President and Attorney General have widened that race schism in this country and it will take years to fix it if it is even fixable. 

Those that were killed by the police were criminals resisting arrest.  In Ferguson, the thug was trying to take the cops gun.  He had just robbed a store.  And his mother and step-father helped incite those riots. 

The killing in New York was again of a felon.  This one was 34 and had 30 convictions on his record.  Granted it would have been much better if they had not died, but they have to accept responsibility for resisting arrest.  You never resist arrest.  If the cops are in the wrong, handle it in court.  You don't sort anything out on the street.  You will lose.  Do we have bad cops?  Oh hell yes.  But the good ones outweigh the bad ones.  Those two in New York did nothing at all to lose their lives except wearing their uniform and the slime that killed them was even too cowardly to stick around and take his medicine.  He killed himself.  My question still stands.  What will these neighborhoods do when no cops will work them?  Who will they call then?  Will they call on the criminals that they are defending now?  Don't think so.  I sincerely hope those politicians are happy with what they have caused.  I'm not.

Not happy

I keep watching the news and just when I think things can't get any worse, the damn fools surprise me.  The ongoing protests the killing by the police of a 300 pound thug that was trying to kill the cop.  A grad jury was convened and heard all the evidence and acquitted the policeman.  Not good enough for the thugs people.  They want that policeman's blood regardless if he is guilty or not.  Then we have another 300 pound thug killed by the police in New York.  In 34 years he had 30 arrest and was resisting arrest at the time.  But it was the cops fault.  So off we go on more protests led by non other than Al Sharpton.  Sharpton would kill his mother if the thought it would get him money and publicity.  So we have these protest, not nice peaceful ones either.  "What do we want?  Dead Cops.  When do we want them? Now."  And they got them.  A piece of crap criminal with a long rap sheet killed two cops in cold blood.  Then was too much of a coward to face the music and committed suicide. The professional rabble rousers got their wish. 

To cap this all off, we have the mayor of New York, patting Sharpton on the ass.  We have the United States Attorney General giving his blessing to these violent protests and we have our elected president also giving his seal of approval.  Of course, there are going to be dead cops.  This is just the tip of the iceburg.  Ever wonder why, during WW11, some of the villages the Nazi occupied areas would just hand over their Jewish population or in some instances, just kill them.  This while other villages fought to protect their Jewish neighbors.  They hid them.  They smuggled them out of the area.  One village chose decency over lawless abandon.  And why did those choosing lawless abandon over decency?  Because they could.  They had been given permission by their occupiers.  Same concept here.  Why will the thugs kill cops?  Because they can and have been given tacit approval by the highest elected officials in the land.  Mankind sports a very thin veneer of civilization and given the opportunity to discard it and act with lawless abandon, a good majority will do just that.  Scary isn't it?

My beef with Obama

I have defended Obama through thick and thin, but I cannot defend him over the military and his handling of military matters.  He fired Robert Gates.  He fired Chuck Hagel.  Those are two of the most competent men to head the defense department in politics today.  Hagel sure knows what the soldiers face.  I was overjoyed when he was named as Defense Secretary.  Apparently Obama fired both men because he could not micromanage them.  Micromanaging has never worked and it never will.  And it is doubtful he will find anyone competent to do that job because no one with any integrity and grit will take it.  I wouldn't.  You pick the best people for the job and allow them to do that job.  You are only as good as your people let you be.  He has destroyed his credibility with the military and I offer no more defense.  I had high hopes, but they are waning. 

On an up note, I hope Hagel runs for president.  I will vote for him.
