Policemen do not generally have a vested interest in promoting violence but their administrator's first task is to continue finding reasons to spend money of their bureaucracies. Thus a lot of the discontent and violence damaging our society is created to keep Homeland Security busy.
As far as shooting policeman is concerned I place the direct blame on the guy that pulled the trigger. I also blame the cop in Ferguson for pulling the trigger on an unarmed young man.
He attacked and charged. Why is he exempt from being shot? Should the cop allow himself to be killed with his own weapon? Come on man.

Darren Wilson has now been investigated AND exonerated not just by local police and a Grand Jury, but by a virtual army of FBI agents and US attorneys, culminated in the DOJ report that found no evidence he acted improperly based on the EVIDENCE.
"We witnessed in Ferguson a 4-month modern-day lynch mob convict the cop because he’s white, convict him in advance of the evidence or else, and then when the evidence comes in and shows that this individual was resisting arrest — I mean how many people would attack an armed police officer in his police car, and that police officer was fighting for his life — and yet so powerful is this leftist ideology that you have sports athletes, hero figures to American youth, “hands up, don’t shoot,†or “can’t breathe,†an assault on the police force.
Eric Holder, a leader of that lynch mob, had just issued his report from Ferguson. Even though he had all these leftwing lawyers looking for evidence, anything they could twist into saying that the cop was racist, they couldn’t find any evidence whatsoever for the incident that triggered their investigation, but they have indicted the whole police force."
Thanks for this article --- it's one of the best written articles that I've read in a long time. Horowitz nails it regarding how the left has destroyed our big cities. Much of what he wrote was my own experience teaching in an inner city/minority/majority high school. It was a hard, but healthy, reality check to my former liberal values.
Holder and Obama won't. This is just one of those unfortunate things that happen to "folks." If they comment at all it will be blamed on the history of racism and mistrust that created these tense conditions.
^^^^ Yep, just more random workplace violence, nothing to see here folks......
Now if the cops had been black and shot by white protesters.....holy crap.
This falls on the Police Department. They need to clean house and start over. The neglected listening to concerns of the citizens of that community for decades. This has been boiling over for some time. Trust needs to be re-established. I think every officer in that department would be wise to resign and move. It sounds unfair, but it is for the best.
I wonder if you would be so cavalier if your job/profession was jeopardized over a false narrative created by a bunch of racially motivated "community organizers" like Obama/Holder/Sharpton?
I feel that the DOJ's trumped up report played a significant role in increasing the animosity to the extent that it probably influenced the shooter's actions.

We need a *sigh* emoticon.
The sick, putrid, and depraved mind of the criminal apologist left. It always hits you like a ton of bricks, even when you are expecting it.
Based on the number of black officers in Ferguson now, I'm guessing they don't have too many local people willing to walk the walk.
Judging from some of the behaviors we've witnessed, my guess is that many of them couldn't pass the psych screening, don't have the education or intelligence and would flunk the background check. The rest are likely employed or business owners.
