Things They Say

Man, the blue lives matter people sound like some snowflakes

The New York Jets reached out to radical pro-police organization Blue Lives Matter NYC on Tuesday inquiring about a partnership.

What they got in response was an angry email disparaging the concerns of minority Americans who suffer unjust violence at the hands of police, The New York Post reports.

Blue Lives Matter founder Joe Imperatrice shared with The Post an email exchange he had with Jets partnership manager Anthony Bulak in which he blasted NFL players for not respecting police.

Blue Lives Matter founder: NFL players issues are made up

Imperatrice’s response, via emails shared with The Post:

“Although I’d love to work with an NFL team right now I feel it is not the right time. All over the United States players feel entitled to disrespect our first responders, our military members both past and present and our flag. These players make more money in a season than some people make in a lifetime and their ‘Issues’ are made up, exaggerated, and more times than not false.”
Imperatrice’s response echoes rhetoric at the center of the ongoing NFL controversy critical of players who have chosen to kneel or protest social justice issues during the national anthem.

Rather than address their concerns, Imperatrice attacked the players as anti-military while suggesting that because they get paid a lot, their issues don’t matter to begin with.

Imperatrice went on to color protesting players as ignorant.

“Once again I do appreciate the offer but revenue we have could better be spent on the families of officers killed in the line of duty protecting the ignorance of these individuals rather than contributing to their paycheck.”
Bulak responded to Imperatrice’s concerns citing the Jets’ history of supporting first responders and not having players involved in anthem protests, according to The Post. The Jets have not said why the decided to reach out to Blue Lives Matter in the first place.

“I appreciate you sharing your opinion and although I can’t comment too much on it what I will say is the Jets have never had a player protest our anthem. The Jets have always been supportive of our police, firefighters, EMTs, etc. and will continue to do so,” Bulak wrote, including a flyer for the team’s First Responders Night.”


Bulak’s response prompted Imperatrice to point out that the Jets signed running back Isaiah Crowell, who posted a graphic Instagram illustration of a police officer having his throat slit open by a hooded man when he was with the Cleveland Browns in 2016.

“If I am correct the JETS may have signed an individual who depicted a Grim Reaper slicing the throat of a police officer,” Imperatrice wrote, including a photo of the controversial 2016 social media post.
Crowell’s decision to post the image was widely condemned and prompted him to donate a game check to Dallas Police. Cleveland’s police union made peace with Crowell after he apologized.

They want to be Gods whose word is greater than even video evidence. The best proof to me that police are a criminal gang is that they are extremly hostile to people who seek to hold police accountable to the law. We are supposed to thank cops for doing it but they hate people who advocate for oversight and accountability with the police. Cant be any more of a hypocrite. If a cop commits a felony and someone catches it on tape and that cop gets convicted shouldnt they thank the person for getting the criminal off the force? No, when the cops do it its a goos guy making a mistake. They want strict enforcement on the public and loose enforcement on themselves. Where is their respect for the law then?



There is only 1 solution to the police problem. We need less laws and specifically less vague laws. If a cop is out to get you he has thousands of laws to try to find one you may have unwittingly violated. Your intent or ignorance of vague laws means nothing in a court of law. For example, the Stormy Daniels arrest. The cops wanted to arrest a political opponet of the President and then looked for a law to allow them to do it. Does it matter that they deliberately misinterpreted the law to make the arrest? No. They promised to do an internal investigation. Months later and we got nothing. Why do investigationa of police always take 6+ months no matter how guilty they are? The Baltimore Task Force were arrested in 2013 and just went on trial in 2018.

I dont buy it, evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives than our own"

Hers how I think the players should respond to this guy.



I am glad Mr. Imperatrice professes his respect for police, first responders and veterans. Unfortunately his respect is only lip service. You only support and respect the officers who tow the party line. Where is your support and respect for Officer
Pedro Serrano who exposed illegal quotas and racial discrimination. Where is your
support and respect for the other 9 NYPD officers who came forward with him. I could go on all day with lists of police officers who have come forward exposing criminal activity within their own police departments who have been retaliated against by their superiors and fellow police officers. We want police officers to be respected but it is hard for us to respect police when they say they have no choice but to strictly enforce the law on the public and actively protect criminals within their own ranks. If you truly respect police officers then you should want these bad apples removed from your ranks but time after time we see officers fired for unnecessary beatings and shootings get rehired by other departments while cops who report crimes by police officers get ostracized, fired for the smallest infractions, and then cant get hired by other police departments. You say our issues and complaints are imaginary and exaggerated yet this year we had Baltimore police officers admitting to carrying realistic toy guns to plant in case they wrongfully shoot a person. This Gun Trace Task Force raped and pillaged Baltimore communities for 10 years. How is it criminals can rape and pillage for 10 years with a badge and no other cop knew about it. These criminal elements operating within police departments almost always operate for long periods of times. In the end they were only caught because they robbed an FBI informant. They might still be operating today if not for that mistake at the same time as you say our complaints are unwarranted and exaggerated. The RAMPART criminals in the LAPD also operated for 10 years right under your noses. In Georgia a group of cops purposely framed black drivers who had no criminal record to get them started in the system. How many more of these criminal elements are operating within police departments today? We dont know because people like you demand that all police be above reproach. The FBI only does reactive investigations instead of proactive investigations. Internal Affairs Division is laughable one sided in favor of cops. You wouldnt call NFL players investigating other NFL players justice. You wouldnt allow a DA who I have a good personal relationship decide if charges should be filed against me. You say we lack respect for police but the entire system is designed to protect police. 99% of grand juries indict a member of the public. 1% of grand juries indict a police officer. Police officers are even allowed to testify in the grand jury and the whole thing is kept secret so DAs can act as a defense lawyer for the cop instead of a prosecutor and none of us will ever know.


If you want to respect and protect police officers lets talk about how we can do that. Every month there are 11 suicides by cops and about 600 by veterans. Most of these are caused by PTSD, depression, and chronic pain. Marijuana is a proven treatment for these conditions. 30 states have medical marijuana laws. 97% of the public supports medical marijuana and 65% recreational marijuana. How many of these police officers and veterans would still be alive today if they were allowed marijuana to treat their condition which has far fewer negative side effects than other drugs they are given now. At any given time there are 40,000 homeless veterans. When you and other police officers come across a homeless veteran with mental illness or addiction issues you treat them as criminals. We want them to get help. Yet you say we are the disrespectful ones. Kneeling during the anthem has never harmed any veteran. Your war on drugs has killed, incarcerated, and devastated the lives of millions of veterans. What is respectful about arresting a veteran who treats his PTSD with marijuana. How many veterans and cops are you going to let die from addictions to pain pills they take due to conditions they got while serving the country. What you do is the exact opposite of support. You and your unions use your union dues to lobby politicians to keep marijuana illegal despite overwhelming public support for legalization. We know why you do this. Its about money. You place a higher priority on your paycheck than you do the safety of cops and veterans. No state legal marijuana dealer or grower has ever harmed a police officer. Instead of money from sales of marijuana going to legitimate and legal businesses you force it into the black market where its run by violent thugs. Then you cite the violence caused by your prohibition as the reason we need prohibition. How many cops have to die raiding marijuana dealers or chasing people fleeing because they have marijuana for you to give this up?



If you truly respect police and veterans then lets work together to reduce the causes of PTSD and provide safer medicine to those cops and veterans suffering job related mental illnesses. More cops die from suicide than from being murdered on the job. More cops die from car wrecks than from being murdered. Lets support cops by cutting these numbers in half. Thats how you respect the police and veterans. There is nothing more disrespectful than arresting and incarcerating a soldier who treats his PTSD with marijuana. If you want to respect police and their families how about a zero tolerance policy for wife beaters. No cop who beats his wife should be patrolling the streets. We want to work with you on these things but every time we find that police unions and groups are the staunchest defenders of this broken system that ends in senseless tragedy for police, veterans, and their families. Lets work towards a system where police officer whistleblowers do not fear for their life from other cops. Lets work towards a system where no rape kit goes untested. Lets work towards a system where rape, murder, and property crime are the priorities. In order for us to do these things to respect police officers we need you to get out of the way. Dont you dare tell us kneeling is disrespectful to these people when you vocally and financially support policies that destroy the lives of many of these individuals. America locks up people at a higher rate than any country in the world not named North Korea. We have been fighting the drug war for 50 years and you are clearly losing that fight. We have been doing things your way for a long time and its only gotten worse. Maybe, just maybe, its time to try a different approach. Marijuana legalization is coming whether you like it or not. Its happening around the world and state by state. Stop fighting a losing battle that are getting the people you call brother killed, maimed, and incarcerated. Thats how you show them respect.

Paul Fullerton - served as a firefighter for 25 years who suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury on the job after 2 years of legal battles stemming from police raiding his medical marijuana buisness.




Wheres the polices respect for him? Oh thats right, they just wanted that 55,000 dollars theu seized. These monsters would throw disabled heroes down a flight of stairs for a few bucks.
 
"It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

May not be the cop who said it. The cops claim they investigated and it wasnt a cop, we all know how reliable they are investigating themselves. More video is daid to exist so we can wait for that.
