Leftists gravitate to a Nat. Socialist German Workers Party. Conservatives wouldn't touch a "Socialist" "Workers" anything with a 20 foot pole.

When the leftist Obama soured with a disapproving public eventually exposed to the dark underbelly of progressive leftism, his obots simply took a page from the same playbook ("Just say he's not a real leftist") as their Hitlerian antecedents after their own Socialist Workers leftist lost favor with the public after Nuremberg.

Progressive New York City even welcomed the Blueshirts of the Homeland Security Ministry into its subway system:

Police militarization is non-partisan.

Try again.

And yeah - everyone already knows about the subways.

I really would like to see people like you with zero police coverage. It would be Baltimore in spades and entirely appropriate.

Be very careful with comparisons. Both the right and the left in this country would be in real trouble if we really did have a State Political Police (GESTAPO). They were very, very good at political suppression.

Why are you not looking at the other case (murdering a naked man even if he was under the influence of cocaine cannot be construed as justified, imo), but the second case cited involves a man who was basically killed because he was black, carrying a bbgun and listening to music so he did not hear what the police said.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/us...iced.html?_r=0

The cops lied and lied. See the picture. They said he did not have his ear buds in and he obviously did. They would not allow the nurse who took the picture to give first aid. She might have been able to save him.

In South Florida’s Broward County, no officer has been charged in a fatal on-duty police shooting since 1980, a period that covers 168 shooting deaths.
Not one indictment or charge? Is it really likely that all of those shootings were justifiable?

It's gotten to the point where I'm terrified to leave the house because one of those big, bad scary policeman are going to kill me.

Some folks don't know left from right, what they stand for or what the end game is.

The book "1984" is a good primer.

BBgun or not when the officer has no idea if it real gun they need to assume it's real. If you are carrying a replica wepaon or BBgun that looks like a real weapon you better treat like a real weapon.

I would suggest that ascertaining he was listening to music would be difficult.

If they are lying or tampering with evidence that is whole other matter and needs to be dealt with.
