It's simple, they don't care. As far as they concerned, law enforcement are a bunch of murderous thugs in uniforms. They may sincerely not condone violence, but deep down they're happy as they see the killings as justice being served.

Some liberals on my facebook feed were actually pretty vocal about it. Some even going as far as posting "Blue lives don't matter" on their timeline.

I have multiple people on my FB talking about the tragedy that happened. Why do I believe that you're simply posting something that isn't true?

I think this is a question you need to ask your friends. That's the only way you're going to get the answer you're looking for... No need to show off on CD. Go straight to the source..

It's politics.
Police are a small voting block, pandering to them will not get Democrats the votes they need.

Maybe quirky hashtags don't feel appropriate after the events of last night? All the liberals I know are posting about their sorrow for the officers who were lost and their families, as well as those who were injured or are grieving on their own in silence.

Why don't you post this exact question on your facebook so that you can get direct response from your liberal friends? You scared?

Why are no good cops speaking out about the bad cops who continually kill innocent people and/or kill in situations when it is absolutely not called for? You on the right wing expect every living muslim to appologize and speak up every time any terrorist act occurs, why are you not speaking out against the police brutality? Why aren't the good cops speaking up?

1) I have no friggin' idea how a hashtag even works because I don't have a Twitter account

2) I'm not surprised at all to see Right Wingers trying to politicize this tragedy, you folks should be ashamed of yourselves!
