Obama’s war on the pale faces continues to escalate. Now we have two more cops ambushed and shot.
Two police officers were shot during a protest outside Ferguson, Missouri, police headquarters early on Thursday, police said, just hours after the city’s police chief quit following a damning U.S. Justice Department report into his force.
The shooting of the officers, who were in serious condition at a hospital, was the latest incident in months of turmoil in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, which has been at the center of an intense national debate over police use of force, particularly against black men, since a white officer killed an unarmed black teenager there in August.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters early on Thursday that a 41-year-old officer from his department was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department was hit in the face about midnight as the crowd was starting to break up.
“These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers,” Belmar said. “I have said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems.”
He said the officers, whom he did not identify, were both conscious and hospitalized. The department planned to release more information at 9 a.m. CDT (0800 DST).
An Obama administration spokesman said, “The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism. Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.”¹
As soon as you hear the word justice, just assume what is meant is revenge and you are closer to the truth. That’s something people have always known, until the lunatics took over the west.
The violence grew out of a Wednesday night demonstration in which several dozen protesters gathered in front of the Ferguson police department, just hours after Police Chief Thomas Jackson resigned.
The night started peacefully but about two dozen officers clad in riot gear later faced off with the protesters. At least two people were taken into custody.
Gunshots rang out about midnight turning a scene of relative quiet into pandemonium. Many of the remaining few dozen demonstrators fled, some screaming.
The line of police scrambled, with many taking defensive positions drawing their weapons and some huddling behind riot shields, according to a video published online.
Belmar said the shooter was among the demonstrators standing across from the officers.
“I don’t know who did the shooting, to be honest with you right now, but somehow they were embedded in that group of folks,” he said.
Protesters at the scene, however, said on social media that the shots did not come from where they were standing.
“The shooter was not with the protesters. The shooter was atop the hill,” activist DeRay McKesson said on Twitter.
“I was here. I saw the officer fall. The shot came from at least 500 feet away from the officers,” he said.
I’m thinking DeRay was there, knows who did the shooting and is a member of the vibrant community. Just a guess.
Somewhat on a tangent, these days Ice T plays a cop on “Law and Order”, and pushes a ‘reality’ show with his wife, all peace and love among the upper crust.
Another one of those “So when did the posing start?” jobs. The other question is, does it ever stop?
If there’s a silver lining in here, maybe this will put an end to all the media reports on in Ferguson. My guess is though, that this incident will be conveniently relegated to page 20 by tomorrow, because it doesn’t advance the narrative of black victimhood in America.
Next up, Vagina Victimhood, starring HRC.
50 Quatloos says they were M855 rounds – just to check all the boxes for maximum progressive efficiency.
Does anyone know if it was a pistol or a rifle bullet?
A pistol from 500 feet seems silly.
I have a theory (stop me if you have heard this one before) that people like Obama are just victims too, but in a different way. Your El Presidente isn’t it seems to me a strong person. Just like a piece of driftwood, he gets swept along by some mysterious force. The momentum of the society he thinks is possibly okay sustains him. Such a momentum benefits him, I have no doubt (it is hard to see where else people like him could make a good living in the normal world) and he doesn’t want it to end anytime soon.… Read more »
The religious tend to believe their own gospels. American Progressives have been talking about the end of white rule in America for fifty years. Liberalism descended into a revenge fantasy in the late 60’s and never really recovered. Obama, marinated in this since birth, probably looks at these developments with glee. But your point is well taken. His cult is unforgiving of apostates and heretics. The hundreds of millions waiting for him in the coming years depends on his fulfilling his duties as the flag bearing of racial justice. My read on Obama is he went a lot further than… Read more »
where was the Obama Administration quote from? I didn’t see it in the linked article.
Conflating the Huey Newton quote with the Reuters report looks intentional, yes?
Yes, the Huey Newton quote was artistic license. I just wanted to highlight that we have seen this film before and it always ends the same way.
