I am proud of the officers of the NYPD

When Mayor DeBlassio walks by they turn their backs.

Good for them!!!

DeBlasio and Sharpton were the root cause of what happened in New York, by Al stirring this up and Bill allowing the protests to cause disruption in the city through not letting the cops handle it. The liberal bobsie twins of NYC now, indirectly, have blood of police on their hands.

DeBlasio had more fencing erected around Gracie Manor and hides behind that fence then closed it to the public,Al just stirs the pot.

In other news Rahm"s son was robbed across the street from his home.

But I will guarantee you that until the protesters kill one of the liberal leaders in one of our cities, nothing will be done to quiet the non-sense.

I wish it had been Rahm.

Then it will just be blamed on the Tea Party.

DeBlasio and Sharpton were the root cause of what happened in New York...

Don't forget about Obama, Holder, CNN, and MSNBC.

I think we are in for a lot of racial violence in this country in the future. I just don't see how it can be avoided.

well , things were pretty hot in the 60s , course I never really paid attention because I was a kid and we were hundreds of miles away from any big city so the riots never affected the area I lived in . Still , I remember mention of the riots in Chicago , Deeetroit and other places and I saw the convention riots in 68 . I also remember mention and some idolization of the Weathermen , Andrea Dorn , the Black panthers , Jerry Rubin and others , yada , yada plus the YIPPIES !! Funny because all these troublemakers either died or went to jail and served their time and some of these ex jailbirds are now in academia teaching young heads full of mush . Some even advise presidents but I can't think of the prez advisers name at the moment .

That era was much worse than it is now.

The Anti-American counter-culture radicals of the 60s are the mainstream these days, another difference is self-preservation has been beat of of younger traditional Americans.

Huh? This has nothing to do with counter culture. He was arrested 20 times. He had just killed his girl friend. He was going to prison and probably be executed. He commited suicide and decided to take some people with him. Culture has nothing to do with it.

On the surface it would appear that he was just a thug looking to take advantage of the unrest.

That might be correct if the effect of the counter culture had not been what it is. Take a group of young left wing radicals and a few politicians and toss in a voting public with misplaced values.This is what it comes to.

This mess got out of the blocks by the above mentioned by starting to un-weave the fabric of our nation by convincing a wide swath of people that the government owes you something, that something turned into what you are seeing today.Next to no values of family or work ethic in the black community. Massive un-employment, close to 30%, 90% born out of wedlock and low expectations of advancement in society.A look at life that includes expecting to be imprisoned and no embarrassment from serving jail time.

This is the time for a new Martin Luther King, a black man who will stand up and tell one person that where their culture has gone is completely wrong and explain why, then that person can convince two more people and so on.

With the exception of a select few(who are generally shunned) the leaders of the black community are happy with the status quo , for it allows them to extort money from the government ie: the general public. If you're getting paid to foment unrest why would you try and stop it?

[grouchy]

Well said.
But I am an old white redneck.

We used to operate institutions for the criminally insane where these people were kept to protect society. Now, we just arrest them and release them until they finally kill someone or are killed. And this is the kind of consequence we get for this stupidity.

It has quite a bit to do with the agitators Holder and DeBlasio,

The mental cases are just their cannon fodder.

I believe the Girlfriend lived through the murder attempt.

[planosteve]

The fact that the NYC police union is trying to politicize this by pointing their finger at the mayor is not surprising. Neither is hyping this on Fox News by interviewing morons like Bo Dietl.

[Red Oak]

DeBlasio, Holder, Sharpton, Obama, et al politicized the Martin, Brown, and Garner Deaths, payback is a *&)(^$ &^^&$$.

As a matter of fact I read a creditable account that DeBlasio ordered the NYPD to crack down on the sale of loose cigarettes a day or two before the Garner arrest; and more interesting is that the NYPD Police Union supported the Commie DeBlasio, interesting.......
