4 US LEO shot

[Vroom_C14]

Why is this not being addressed publicly by the POTUS? Where is the outrage and rioting!?

Gunfire claimed the lives of at least three officers in an unusually deadly week for U.S. law enforcement.

In a three-day period this week, three officers were killed and another was gravely wounded in shootings around the country, doubling the number of officers who've died by gunfire so far this year.

A Colorado sheriff's deputy died after being shot Monday; two sheriff's deputies were killed Wednesday in Maryland; and a police officer shot Wednesday night in North Dakota is not expected to survive, authorities say.

Before these deaths were reported, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said at least three other U.S. law enforcement officers had died from gunfire in the line of duty this year. Adding the totals together, that would make at least six since January 1.

Don't you wingnuts ever get tired of these apples to oranges outrage comparisons, or are you simply too dense to see the difference? It gets a bit old seeing these types of situations continually brought up as somehow comparable to police shootings of minorities, but I know, you're just pointing out what the right wing echo chamber tells you.

Oh, so you moonbats only care about the shooting of minorities?

You're OK with police shooting whites and police being shot and killed by criminals. But don't you dare be a white killing a minority or a police officer killing a minority! This is where you moonbats become outraged!

We should all just forget about just being a decent human being and being disturbed by the fact that criminals out there are killing innocent people, right? If it doesn't forward your left wing agenda, then it doesn't even warrant a discussion does it?

You could have chose to respond, "my thoughts are with the families of those officers". Instead you chose, "the argument apples and oranges"; which it's not apples and oranges. Just because the tables were turned in this situation and you say it's an apples and oranges argument doesn't make it so

Just so you know, the post wasn't meant to be comparable; which it is. It was meant to point out the hypocrisy of you moonbats. Nice job proving the OP correct.

Spot on; ciggurgitator calling someone an echo chamber is rich
condolences to the families and thanks to these officers for going out every day to protect and serve

I am pointing out what my heart tells me (I have one Ciggy, unlike you but not all Ds are like you), not all minorities are bad and not all cops are good (and those are the exceptions in the game of life). When good people are murdered (especially those good people that are willing to make a sacrifice many of us couldn't even fathom) it should be noted.

You may not be capable of realizing this, but killing unarmed civilians isn't what police officers are sworn to do. They are sworn to protect us, which is by its nature a dangerous job.

Because of that fact, I believe an unarmed person being killed by a cop is a bigger tragedy than a cop being killed in the line of duty. They knew it was a dangerous job when they signed up for it. Tamir Rice on the other hand...

Don't give me that they knew it was a dangerous job when they signed up. It's a BS argument. They didn't sign up to get killed.

That's like saying if you buy a house next to neighbors that have a pack of pitbulls and get mauled, then it's your own fault because you knew the risk of moving in next to neighbors with pitbulls.

You may not realize this (since you are incapable of reading - Ciggy) but I specifically mentioned there are bad cops. Are you okay with a cop sitting in his car, weapon holstered and a thug coming up and shooting them in the back? I guess you are.

Your excuse of "they knew it was a dangerous job..." is exactly why you and your ilk would never step up and protect someone, you would rather stand back, take a photo and put it on FB\HROT and go on your tirades. I feel sorry for your family and friends.

Not exactly. The owner of the pitbulls is responsible for their actions entirely unless his property was invaded by the victim, or the victim acted in some other negligent way to cause the attack.

Police are given guns because it is well known that their jobs are dangerous. They don't sign up to get killed, but they know it's a possibility. An unarmed victim doesn't necessarily know that a trained police officer is going to misjudge them and end their life.

Horseshit. Back up a little bit and see if you actually believe what you just wrote. If you do, you don't have a strong enough understanding of the world's nuances to really have an opinion about this.

I do believe that you wouldn't step in to help a LEO that was in need. You would stand around the corner and say "well the officer in need has a gun and I don't so, sorry". As your handle states - you are 2faced.

Yes really. No one made you move in next to pitbulls. The neighbor didn't force you to move in next to them. It was your choice and you should have known the risk. You put yourself in that situation. Just like it's far less tragic if a police officer gets shot, it's far less tragic if you get mauled by the pitbulls. Let's even tug at the heart strings a little bit here too. It would be far less tragic if your child got mauled by the pitbulls.

I don't think you will see it that way, but that is what makes you a hypocrite.

I don't see it that way. It doesn't make me a hypocrite. It makes you a person who loves to bow to authority, even if they shoot your son dead for no reason.

Is this what you are trying to pass off as intelligent discourse on this subject?

If I understand your OP correctly, 7 LEOs have died on duty this year right? That is unfortunate and tragic.

How come I haven't seen your posts on the 8 firefighters who have died on duty this year? That is unfortunate and tragic. That is your disconnect, and I've pointed out numerous times. LEOs = more important than almost any other profession, even more so than military. It didn't use to be that way, and it isn't having a good affect.

There is no difference. That's what you don't get.

I was a FF for 10 years jack hole. The difference (that you choose to ignore numerous times) is that FF aren't the ones being accused of killing "unarmed innocent victims". LEOs are and the media points that out very well, what they fail at doing is broadcasting when LEOs are murdered in the LOD. See the difference?

So because you "don't see it that way" makes it okay? WOW. Just WOW. Good day to you... May you never need LEO help or be present in the time of someone else's need.

Well, "collateral damage" likely doesn't mean as much to you as it does to me. Our soldiers are always more important to you.

The one who gives his life to prevent evil will always be more important than the one who stands by and watches evil reign. Yes.

Before you get in to war and things like that, you better watch yourself. I can already tell this is something in which you do not have an understanding.

Let me guess, you were a soldier? I don't care. Your opinion is still immoral. I don't want guys like you fighting for me.

There's that ungrateful bigot I knew would come out eventually. Treating everyone the same is immoral? Who knew!

Guess what? You don't make that decision of whether or not we fight for you. We fight for everyone just the same some are more appreciative than others. If you hate it so much, then why don't you move to Canada?

It's not ungrateful to believe that innocent civilian lives should be protected at all costs. I actually am considering moving to Canada. There are simply too many people like you in this country, and your values are FAR too base for me to accept.

How does being accused (often rightfully) of killing unarmed civilians demand that LEOs lives are more noteworthy than firefighters?

Those firefighters didn't "sign up to die in a fire..."
