Anti government sentiment fuels fears of police killings

[mojaveman]

"There's a deep concern that there has been a measureable increase of violence against police officers, especially with firearms," said Rich Roberts, spokesman for the International Union of Police Associates. The anti-police movement "seems to feed off each other online," he said.

Now, I wonder who could be responsible for the anti-government sentiment? Perhaps George Bush?

There are some seriously sick assholes out there online in "social" media.

Praising the random killing of police officers is very sick and if you read the article you'll see "Cop Block’s 780,000-plus Facebook fans", that's a very large number of sick assholes.

And speaking of sick assholes you'll also see "Mark Potok", an expert on extremism" more like a liberal left-wing self proclaimed expert on extremism and left-wing propaganda writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. And I'm sure the "1100 anti-government" groups are not all anti-police groups. Anti-government does not equal anti-police, only morons would think that way or left-wing propaganda writers.........

And then there's facebook, promoting hate and even allowing large hate groups to thrive on its pages. I'm wondering if facebook ads targeting the government hate groups includes firearms, firearms training etc to those individuals. It's all about the greenbacks isn't it facebook.

Your words are straight, TS. It's all about the money, and let truth and integrity be damned. Having "political capital", power over the uninformed (or appearing to) trumps all. Oughta have their own Hall of Shame. Expose the little pricked asshats for what they are.

This one hits close to home. We had a couple officers killed in the line of duty just across the bridge from downtown Memphis, in West Memphis, AR. The killers were located and gunned down in a walmart parking lot. They were part of an anti-govt group known as sovereign citizens. The West Memphis police chief is featured in this video. His son, Brandon Paudert, was one of the officers that died in the line of duty.

My feeling exactly. Agree on all points TS.

Has anybody read "Unintended Consequences"? Look it up. The last third of the book is when it gets interesting and germaine. The first two thirds of the book is the lead up, long book.

You can only get a FB page taken down if you're a hot young chick hunting in Africa. Al-qaeda apparently doesn't kill "threatened" species.

As usual TS Sir, you are spot on!

Facebook and other "social" media sites seem to have this allure....that is, if you were not raised by a father who worked on the internet, before it was "the" internet. My Dad instilled in me back in the early '90's a deep understanding of just what exactly the world wide web is, and who is on it.

Won't ever find me on any of those sites. I prefer to take the sage advice given to me, "and keep better company!" Which is why PS.com is the only site visited regularly by my camp, period.

Any killing of Our Brave Law Enforcement officers is not only sick, it is cowardly, and wrong!

Perhaps that is more of a "Cultural Revolution"?

From 1966 - 1976 in various forms, Mao Zedong's China experienced " The Cultural Revolution". I reference it in regards to the Facebook comment because as part of that revolution people were enabled to express themselves and their beliefs more freely, that proved to be the undoing of many...if their expressed ideas turned out to be different from the Communist Party it turned out.

I'm glad you asked because I completely concur with TS opinion of the depraved parts of society addressed in the first part of the post. Law Enforcement is the thin line serving us against that depravity.

Political persuasions toward smaller, sustaining, and responsible government are quite different than the other...

We're overdue for a world-wide flood.

A day after a rookie police officer was gunned down in an ambush, mourners came to pay their respects at a makeshift memorial with candles, balloons, empty liquor bottles and messages of love from friends scrawled on T-shirts taped to a brick wall.

Instead of honoring the officer, the memorial was for his killer. "Rest easy," "Thug in peace" and "See u on the other side" friends wrote about Lawrence Campbell, who police say ambushed Officer Melvin Santiago early Sunday as he responded to an armed robbery call at a 24/7 pharmacy. Officers returned fire, killing Campbell.

Visitors to the memorial would not give their names to The Associated Press. But Barbara Jones, Campbell's neighbor, told The Jersey Journal that the Campbell she knew was nothing like the man city officials say was lying in wait for officers to arrive before opening fire.

Thank you so much for the clarification, as it appears that history is once again, repeating itself.. and not in a good way it seems. Agree 100%, those brave Law Enforcement Officers are that thin line!

Maybe the "flood" is coming.....
