Absolutely sickening to watch.
1 officer shot in TN last night. 2 officers in GA as well, bringing the total to 6 in the last week I believe.

why use the word war.
It is a shame 3 people were shot but a war of police
You apparently have no idea what war is
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
I am amazed that since the election we are seeing a proliferation of words like war and hate.
Hate being assigned to people that only disagree with a writer.
Been on these boards for a long time and been in many a message board argument / disagreement.
Never ascribed the word hate toward a fellow poster.

There is no more a war on police than there is a war on black people.
Or a war on capitalism
Or a war on decency
or even worse.
a war on Christmas.
C'mon people , use your words
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Brief moment of levity: Your war on the use of the word "war" sickens me to no end. And then back into it: In truth, there is a war on police. There is a war on capitalism. There is a war on Christmas and Christianity. There is an ongoing war on decency. Wars are not only fought on traditional battlefields with army troops in earth toned uniforms with expensive weaponry.
And here is the shocker (for you), words can have multiple definitions of levels of meaning, not just the single literal #1 definition.

Now back on ****ing topic.. It is very tragic that the criminal filth in this country is seemingly more empowered than ever to attack our amazing officers in blue. I for one look forward to a top-down leadership that upholds law & order and we start making our communities safer whatever the answer to that may be.
PS it's not ****ing "gun control". See Chicago if you need proof.
MrShwag FTW! And lol at 57 for trying to turn this into a thread about the use of the word "war".
I also find the silence from the Obama administration on this to be completely unacceptable.

Trayvon could be my son.
Not to laugh about a young man dying, but him opening his trap about that and the professor incident and other things that happened makes you think everything was still okay.
Well to us blacks it is not. It has gotten worse for us and we are not happy with his results. Hillary paid the price for that. She can say "thanks Obama, you double crosser"
The lives of black people are unquestionably worse than what they were 8 years ago.

People who shoot police officers = Terrible people
Officers who shoot unarmed citizens = Somewhere on the spectrum between justified and terrible people depending on the case.
Obama has never encouraged people to shoot police officers, just as Trump will never encourage officers to shoot unarmed citizens. We need to find a long term solution for resolving these tensions in our country, and claiming that police are somehow above other citizens might not be the solution.
Stats don't lie

They all gotten worse under him. Even black leaders are not happy with him. One said that he only cared about his "legacy" and nothing else.
it's 2016 and facts obviously don't matter but here are some facts on your so called war that doesn't exist
Is there a “war on police” in America today? Most Americans think so, and that’s understandable given all of the media coverage of that topic. A Google news search finds 32,000 results for the phrase “war on cops” and another 12,100 results for “war on police,” with sensational headlines like “America’s War on Cops Intensifies” and [NYPD Commissioner] “Bratton Warns of Tough Times Ahead Due to ‘War on Cops’.” A recent Rasmussen poll found that 58% of likely US voters answered “Yes” to the question “Is there a war on police in America today?” and only 27% disagreed. But data on police shootings in America that were reported last week by The Guardian (“2015 May Be One of the Safest Years for Law Enforcement in a Quarter Century“) tell a much different story of increasing police safety.
According to data available from the “Officer Down Memorial Page” on the annual number of non-accidental, firearm-related police fatalities, 2015 is on track to be the safest year for law enforcement in the US since 1887

News flash: We're not in 2015 anymore. 2016 is well above the 2015 total for cops killed.
6 officers in GA have been shot in the past 6 days.
Please, tell me more about how safe it is and that there isn't a war against them. Lol.

lol Obama was f--cked from the getgo by his critics.
If he shows partialness to wanting to help black people what do you think the professional conservatives would have said to attack him and rally around?
"He doesn't care about others he's dividing the country by only caring about blacks. He needs to focus on all Americans"
If he walks the tightrope by not trying to be too biased towards blacks but with everyone:
"He doesn't care about the black community, he's left you behind. He's done absolutely nothing".
These are the facts. People will criticize him regardless of what he did. The fact he said Trayvon could be my son and people got riled up is evidence people thought Trayvon was at fault that night and Obama was playing the race card. With Zimmerman we have evidence of a history of erratic behavior. The 911 call he made "they always get away with this" was disturbing. The fact people have defended him since with his domestic abuse charges and stuff really really just pisses me off
The truth is, people don't see the heroic work being done in black communities. Work I do and others that have been inspired by Obama to work in urban communities and help underprivileged. It happens everyday. It doesn't get reported. We don't care if it gets reported.

And since we're going with stats.
THere's a higher chance of dying from stuff at home and random stuff than actually getting killed by a Muslim attack in our country... but we know which subject gets debated to death.

Those stats show deaths and not shootings . Big difference. The advancement of medicine and surgeries are the reason that police deaths by firearms have dropped. There's not a lack of shootings.
That and the addition of body armor have reduced deaths over the years.
Not sure how you can take someone seriously when they try to make an argue there hasn't been a huge escalation of violence against police. Not only in crime but actual attitudes towards them.
A society that doesn't respect law and order is a society that is doomed to fail.
weird to see a constitution guy like you, a 2nd amendment guy like you and a person who tried to tell me they are living in tyranny
then try to make that statement i just quoted
you do know what the 2nd amendment was put in there for and it wasn't to hunt deer?
either you are now willing to admit you don't really believe those things you said it was all hyperbole or you should be in line with these people killing the enforcers of the tyranny you are being forced to live under
that all matters if you really think we live in tyranny though
