These Democrats are sick....anyone that supports these idiots are equally culpable.

Some seem to be rejoicing over the incident immediately after, no attempts to help the officers.

Make no mistake, the shooter is a hero to many there (and across the country for that matter). If he is caught, he will continue to be lauded as a hero by many and worshipped on the internet. Wouldn't be surprised to see rallies in support of him. If he happens to die when being apprehended, watch out, riots galore.

This country is going down the toilet.

Both sides have their crazies.
May be true except your post went way past that "Republicans have plenty disrespect for law enforcement when it suits them." You attempted to rationalize that behavior applying to all Republicans - That is not true and very disingenuous. Only one side is controlled by crazies and it is not the Republicans.

That is uncalled for. Rachel has strong political views that do not coincide with yours, but that is no reason to accuse her of not worshipping the Lord, when she has clearly declared her faith numerous times.

No one is rationalizing anything and you are being disingenuous in making that statement. As stated, both sides have their crazies. Each side wants to act like the behavior is exclusively that of one or the other. It is not.

But not this year. NYPD union and FOP, two of the largest police unions/organizations in the country, are now endorsing Trump.


It does not take a genius to figure out why these police unions are doing about face.
I think this fact is a bit of a wild card in this election. While I think most police tend to vote more Republican than Democrat, I think this year they will vote overwhelmingly Republican. There are somewhere around 700,000 law enforcement officers in this country. They all have families. Are they going to vote for the party pushing to defund the police, who push the narrative that the police are systemically racist, who remain strangely silent and passive during violent rioting? Or are they going to vote for the party that promotes safety, law, and order? This election could potentially be decided by this demographic.

Not at all. I have clearly stated that I am non-partisan numerous times and she constantly attempts to label me otherwise. Over and over, it is the same thing in thread after thread. To basically infer that people like me are committing mayhem/violence and engaging in destruction is false and uncalled for, just because others do not take the same political stance as them.People like that have made politics their God. They cannot understand how others might not affiliate themselves with one or the other. That is my view of people like her.

Incidence like these, the fact a certain segment is way violent, its no wonder cops are jumpy in the hood. All cards should be laid out instead of only that thin worn out one.

Wow. Talk about anger....and simply because I don’t agree with your politics.

I did not say people like you commit mayhem. I said that the mayhem and destruction is overwhelmingly from the left - BLM and ANTIFA. You came back at me, knowing I am religious, with the out-of-the-blue smack that I don’t worship G-d. Completely uncalled for.

Now you know what it feels like to be a Trump supporter - one who is a Democrat and doesn't toe the line, one who isn't biased but is called a Nazi and welfare queen by those on the left. You have to grow a pair and get over it. Your attacking Rachael wasn't nice.
