Another day on Downtrend, the Fox News blogs, Newsmax, or Yahoo? Nope. The wing nut idiocy keeps spreading.

As a fellow liberal, just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

It's interesting that these people in the video are always complaining that 1) the police brutalizes them 2) the police does not invest enough time and hours patrolling their neighborhoods to keep them safe from thugs and gangs (very often their own brothers, friends and family members, ironically). Then, when the police does try to control thugs and gangs in that neighborhood, and then shoot and kill a thug/gangster in the line of self defense, these people come out and demand "justice" and confront the police. There clearly is a psychological break somewhere with the people in these black communities.

I really do think this country is paying for the bad karma of slavery. Now it's fractured by the racial ills that are beyond repair.

What I really don't understand is the "don't be a snitch" code of honor. Also the phenomenon of jury nullification.

Totally agree. ^That mixed w/ the top 1.8% (who control everything) live in a delusion that when anarchy finally happens they'll escape they're fate. Which they won't.

I had a hard time listening to the guy calling the officer trying to explain things to him the 'n' word.

BPD commish: Police officer out of surgery, prognosis 'very promising' | Herald Bulldog | First On The Street | Boston Herald

The officer is in stable condition now, and expected to leave ICU in a few days.

Thank God.

Did they shoot him because he was decorated or was he decorated because he was shot?

Maybe they were just jealous because he was so nicely decorated. But I would call that vandalism.
