COMMENTS:
* I’m calling this the big turning point. None of the leftist bozos remember how Nixon got elected. It was the 60s riots that did it. The left is going to create more incidents like this with the idea of rousing black support for Hillary, and it’s going to make all the whites, centrists, and normal people vote for Trump. It’ll backfire on them badly.
* So what’s the endgame? How will Hillary back these murderous blacks off once she wins the election? Or will we all just have to get used to unpolice-able myrmidions roaming the streets of every city larger than Redding?
* Obama and Shill have blood on their hands. Of course as we know, people in their echelon never really have to be held accountable for anything.
* I find myself wondering, among other things, about who, exactly, made this happen.
You’re talking about two people acting in concert with assault rifles, and apparently at some distance and elevation. And they were able to escape, apparently. That’s more organized than your average fringe.
I wonder if it wasn’t some group like the thugs who attacked the “neo-Nazis” in Sacramento, who had been preparing for violence for some time.
* There never has been a solution to black violence because the hot young black women love them some violent thugs.
If violent black guys couldn’t get laid then it would all stop tomorrow. Instead the violent strutting black thugs get almost all of the hot women in “the community” because because because.
It is what it is.
Black thugs are handsomely rewarded in their community. Like no other race on the planet this is the reality.
* There’s an odious, Texas-based group called Peaceful Streets that generally despises police. Neo-Nazis hate police as well. The planning of it suggests ISIS. Very bizarre, very awful crime. This is why there is a death penalty, although something tells me these guys won’t be taken into custody.
* Ultimately? I think they’re aiming for substantive federal control of local policing. That’s pretty much what happened in Ferguson. The local police department became appendages of the Justice Department and were forced to comply with every jot of whatever the feds thought was a good idea in policing. Nominally the locals will still be in charge, but everything will have to be done to federal standards and federal procedures or they’ll be sued into oblivion.
They’ll also use it as an excuse for gun control, as in Orlando.
* In NY the entire state would be mobilized to find the murderers of police men. Not just the police force. Everyone.
* Can’t wait to hear the post-racial POTUS express his sincere sympathy for and solidarity with the fallen cops and their families.
Not that I’m holding my breath, you understand.
* Race riots, cop killings, dozens of cities with murder rates back to where the were in the early 90s, flagrant and unprosecuted abuse of power by hundreds if not thousands of government officials, a VA that is completely indifferent to the needs of veterans, stagnant economic growth, stagnant income growth (except for the rich), record budget deficits for times of alleged prosperity (inlcuding 3-4 consecutive deficits of over a trillion dollars), the Middle East in absolute chaos, an immigration agency that is actively *importing* illegal aliens into the country.
Thank God we made a brilliant man like Barack Obama our president.
* I’d start by getting the news organizations to report these police shootings properly.
Don’t presume guilt on the part of the police and don’t sensationalize the grieving families.
The media is criminally culpable.
* It’s the yuppy Whites who actually made this happen. The hipsters. The SWPLs.
They stabbed the mass of Whites in the back with policies and narratives that led to this.
Tell me again how cool they are.
* If the country becomes racially polarized, that works to Trump’s benefit in having the white vote coalesce around him. Like Nixon, Trump talks about the “silent majority.”
* It’s almost like having a President who tells violent thugs that they’re right to be aggrieved at the police has a deleterious effect on law and order.
* How were Bush or McCain any better?
Both parties are garbage. I’m thankful we finally have a potential president who wants to do what’s right for this country. That means disowning both Democrats and Republicans, while pursuing a different path forward.
As Trump said, “I’m running against both parties.”
* The polls show that Trump is more popular on national security issues. If Americans feel fear at home (from terrorist attacks and murders of police), that can only help Trump.
Perhaps he sees a bump in the polls within the next few days.
It’ll be interesting to see if Hillary’s multiracial coalition begins to bicker, creating disenchantment among whites.
* It will be interesting to see how NBC Nightly News handles this tonight. The last two nights they have started off the program with the shooting deaths of the two black individuals by cops in Louisiana and Minnesota, about 10 minutes for each segment. I wonder if President Obama will have any words of wisdom for the nation about this matter.
* Imaging being a cop nowadays. You have good reason to be more cautions than ever, now that there have been repeated incidences of cops being assassinated in cold blood (NYC, Dallas, am I missing any)? In the meantime, the federal government is breathing down your neck and your career could be ruined if you are involved in an incident with a minority.
The rational reaction is simply to spend your shift in the donut shop and look the other way.
I expect the crime rate to accelerate even more than we’ve seen in the past year. And I fully expect this will get blamed on “white supremacy” as well. (It will be white privilege to live in a safe neighborhood.)
* The video they’re showing on cnn looks like the video game grand theft auto.
* This reminds me of Predator 2. That movie doesn’t get a lot of respect, but it sure had our multicultural future of black and central/south American tribal violence well predicted. When I was a kid, I thought it was unrealistic but entertaining Hollywood entertainment, not a prediction of the future. 1990! – that’s 26 years ago.
Interestingly enough, the director was born in Jamaica.
* I don’t think Obama’s speech was helpful, but, to be honest, this didn’t require much stoking.
Two black men were shot to death by cops in situations where neither appeared to be an immediate threat to the cops. And both shootings were caught on video and went viral on social media.
This is different from Ferguson, more organic.
* Completely wrong. Everything in the Sterling video and background story screams immediate threat, including video consistent with his reaching for a gun. And in the Minn incident, there is testimony the man was reaching for a gun. We have not seen video.
Both men were armed. There is evidence in both scenarios they were reaching for a gun.
You must lead a very sheltered life.
He was on his back and his right arm was free and had started to move down toward his right pocket.
“Pinned,” in any event, is hardly dispositive. Not when you are wrestling with a 6’4″, 300 man who is still struggling against you and has a gun in his pocket.
Policy either will not be indicted or will be found not guilty if they are.
Again, you must have led a very sheltered life.
* The Dallas Snipers hockey team are going to have to change their name.
* Even before this there were increasing signs of low morale and difficulty recruiting quality personnel for many urban police departments. From a May 2 news report:
Dallas, Houston Losing Police Officers Over Pay, Morale Issues
Assassinations of police officers appear to me to have increased around the country since Obama took office. Some of them are detailed in this Wikipedia article about four Washington State officers killed by a career criminal who once had felony convictions commuted by Mike Huckabee:
Lakewood, Washington police officer shooting
On Sunday, November 29, 2009, four Lakewood, Washington police officers were murdered at the former Forza Coffee Co. coffee shop, which was located at 11401 Steele Street South in the Parkland unincorporated area of Pierce County, Washington. One gunman, later identified as Maurice Clemmons, entered the coffee shop, fired at the officers as they sat working on their laptop computers preparing for their shifts, and then fled the scene.[1][2] After a two-day manhunt that spanned several cities in the Puget Sound region, the gunman was shot and killed by a Seattle Police Department officer in south Seattle after refusing orders to stop.[3]
The shooting is believed to have been a targeted attack against police officers, and came less than a month after the murder of Seattle police officer Timothy Brenton under similar circumstances nearly 40 miles (64 km) to the north. Another shooting involving Pierce County sheriff’s deputies occurred three weeks after in Eatonville, on December 21, when two deputies were shot and critically injured (one later died from his injuries) by a man, who was then shot dead.[4] It is believed to be the most deadly attack on law enforcement in the state of Washington, and the deadliest attack on law enforcement in the United States since the March 21, 2009 shootings that left four Oakland, California police officers dead.[5] The four were the first Lakewood police officers to be killed in the line of duty since the department’s establishment in 2004.
Although the gunman was killed by police, six other people were charged in connection with the murders. All six are friends and family of Clemmons who aided him in escaping the scene and eluding capture. One was convicted in June 2010 and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. In December 2010, three of four accused suspects were found guilty of rendering criminal assistance.[6]
In May 2011, Darcus Allen, the getaway driver and remaining suspect, was convicted of four counts of murder and sentenced to 420 years in prison the following month.[7]
IMO it wouldn’t be a surprise if tonight’s killings were the work of hard left or anarchist fanatics. There are networks of them throughout the country, but particularly in California, that the last three D.C. administrations seem to have ignored.
* One strange detail to all of this. The chief of Dallas police, who has been giving press conferences on TV, has a deceased son who killed a police officer.
* Obama’s statement over the MN shooting, and persistent silence about the 2000 shootings (so far this year) in Chicago by mostly black shooters, helped incite this massacre. MN’s governor also helped incite the Dallas massacre by saying that the MN shooting wouldn’t have happened if the civilians were white. Actually, this is probably true, since white civilians are more likely to maintain their composure when pulled over, and therefore, more likely to to follow the cops directives accurately. I was pulled over for speeding last year, and just told the cop about my Ruger LCP and my permit, and we were all cool.
* From the coverage I am watching they are going out of their way to mention that the protests and protesters were peaceful. I highly doubt the Tea Party would be given the same treatment had a sniper attack occurred at one of their rallies.

* From my armchair view, the Baton Rouge incident was a “clean” shoot. The dude was resisting physically, at least one arm not under control. I can’t tell from the video, but if he was ‘reaching’ anywhere a weapon could be concealed, then that’s “life or death” right there. BLAM. Sort of the reverse tactically when Trayvon Martin was ground-and-pounding Zimmerman, but didn’t account for Zimmerman being armed. BLAM.
In the Minnesota traffic stop case, my guess is: honest guy with an 85 IQ under stress kicking in. One’s got to know the script when dealing with law enforcement. Listen to what the cop orders. If the cop gives contradictory orders, verbally verify while keeping your hands in view: “My registration is in the glove box, is it okay to get it?” Do not unilaterally declare, “I’m just getting my driver’s license” and reach somewhere.
In very ‘human bio-diverse’ country that recognizes broad rights for all of its residents, these chaotic things will happen regularly. What’s the saying? Diversity, freedom/liberty, civilization: you can, at most, pick two.
* I was astounded when I saw Obama’s speech. I thought, “here we go again…” and sadly, I wan’t wrong.
Just to amaze people with my fortune-telling prowess, look for a major spike in unsolved black-on-black crime in Dallas this summer, as the police cooperatively take their sweet time getting to calls in black neighborhoods.
Also, regarding black folks giving their offspring “the talk.” Maybe they should switch subjects to advice about marrying the woman you impregnate, and/or not having children you have no interest or ability in raising, so that the offspring don’t wind up de facto wards of the state.
Black folks must learn early that the state is the shittiest parental figure you can appoint besides dumping them out on the street to fend for themselves.
To reiterate for the black folks: the governments primary responsibility is to maintain our borders and infrastructure, to defend us when attacked, and collect taxes to fund these aims.
They are not here to help you raise shitty kids you don’t want.
If you choose to force the state into a parental relationship with your child, he/she will likely rebel, and confront the state, like a brat rebels against his/her dad. The state will ground him/her, or shoot your kid with a gun, to maintain public order.
If you don’t like it, again, don’t have kids you don’t want.
A casual perusal of orphanages across the United States, as well as abortion figures, underscores the sad fact that black children are wildly overrepresented, and anyone who values reality as their touchstones must conclude that black lives matter least to… black people.
Until blacks collectively internalize this, expect more of the same. Again, the State are awful parents, and that’s why terrified police unload their guns when your children qualify via their behavior, you can’t get a loan for a house, and cabs pass you by in NYC at 2 AM.
* The Obama Administration will go down in history as being bracketed by two police massacres. In 2009 Lovelle Mixon shot dead four Oakland police officers. In 2016, we have five dead Dallas police officers, and counting.
* Meanwhile, the ethnic cleansing of blacks by committed Latinos continues, and not a “black lives matter” demonstrator to be found. I guess it’s less motivating to demonstrate when your oppressors are known to visit your constituent’s home for a quick late-night debate.
In any case, one of the biggest problems on black people’s plates isn’t nervous policemen. It’s unbridled immigration to illegal aliens and refugees who never heard of Jim Crow, and if you explained it to them, couldn’t care less, if they weren’t on the side of Jim Crow from the get-go.
* Thing I hate most about the Obama era: It’s completely stripped away my ability to deal honestly and compassionately with tragedy. I read “10 cops shot in Dallas” and the VERY FIRST THOUGHT I have, without reading any of the details, is: “OK, how are President Jackass and his minions going to blame me for this one?” Because I’m a white heterosexual male who’s generally pro-gun, I know it’s only a matter of time until someone decides it’s somehow my fault, even if no white heterosexual males are involved.
I hate that. I hate that I’ve been trained to bypass my normal human emotions and my first selfish thought is “how will this affect me?” But that’s the hyperpoliticized nation Obama has given us. Terrible.
* Sterling, physically was a monster and it takes more than two cops to restrain someone that big and full of adrenaline.
You’d be surprised what a 150lb 5’9″ guy can do once he’s jacked up, it can easily 2-4 cops to restrain him. Add 7 inches and 100lbs and it’s a whole nother story. Size and strength changes the dynamics real fast, add in a hidden gun and you just forced the cops to escalate.
* The police detained Sterling after reports someone was brandishing a gun at passersby. The official reports on the shooting say a gun was recovered from the scene. In one of the videos (there are several) of the incident, you can see an officer retrieve an object from Sterling’s right pant pocket after he has been shot. In that video, seconds earlier, Sterling’s right arm seems to be free during the struggle and moving downwards. For an officer to hold his own weapon, he must take his his hands off the suspect.
* I am sure George Soros said excellent in a Mr. Burns accent when he heard that 5 police officers were murdered at a Dallas Black Lies Matter event that was financially funded by him.
George Soros probably sees American police officers as the new gestapo/3rd reich and the urban Negro ghetto as the new Auschwitz. The Shaniquas of the hood are the new Anne Frank.
* “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
