Blood on their hands? You bet

Usually when bad patterns repeat intelligent people vie to change the trend. That doesn't happen in the Obama Administration. Barry believes he's right no matter what the results. That's why he and the race-baiters continue to ply their trade over the bodies of black youths and white policemen --- or in the case of NYC, murdered minority cops.

Since Attorney General Eric Holder's claim that when it comes to race this is a country of cowards, we've had several racial events happen that he and his boss have inserted themselves into. Let's review:


  • Hahvad Professor Henry Louis Gates: On July 16th, 2009 someone called 911 and reported a burglary in progress. Unbeknownst to the lead officer James Crawley Jr., the men were Dr. Gates and his chauffer. The front door of Gates' Cambridge house was stuck and they were trying to get it open. While the officer was trying to protect the professor's property, Gates and subsequently, President Obama indicated that this was racial profiling. The dialogue became so heated that the officer, Crawley Jr. arrested Dr. Gates for disorderly conduct. Although the charges were dropped, President Obama felt obligated to stick his "knows" in.

    He blamed the Cambridge Police for racial profiling and called their actions "stupid."

    When the investigation and resulting outrage from law enforcement dispelled the President's conclusion, Obama hosted the famous WH beer summit. Barack later said he "…regretted his comments…" He also hoped the Gates incident would become a "…teachable moment…" It's become obvious that he was talking about others, not him.

  • Trayvon Martin's killing at the hands of George Zimmerman: Police originally released Zimmerman, finding he was in defense of his life. George was on a community patrol because of recent burglaries in the apartment complex. Because the race-baiters had a cow over their perception of Zimmerman as a Jew, he was charged with second-degree murder. Included in the attempted lynching of George was Obama's attempt at jury tampering by espousing that if he had a son he would have looked like Travon. George was found not guilty. A million people petitioned the DOJ to investigate George for civil rights violations against Martin. It's been three years with no results—Tic Toc-Tic Toc.

  • Michael Brown—innocent 18-year-old black murdered by a typical white cop? This story caught the eyes of the race-mongers. A lily-white cop--no mistaking him for a Mexican--Darren Wilson shot and killed a poor innocent black child. After clipping him with six bullets, the poor lad, while on his knees had his hands up. Pleading for his life, Mike cried, "HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT! " Then the officer murdered Mike with a shot to the head. Of course, this fairy tale didn't pass muster with the Grand Jury. If you want to see what Mike was like, view the various felonies he committed on tape in a convenience store minutes earlier.

    The city of Ferguson was physically attacked from inside and outside "protestors" before and after Darren's exoneration from prosecution. Under the command of Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, and the urging of Michael Brown's stepdad to, "BURN THIS BEYOTCH DOWN," the rioters attacked. As Nixon inexplicably ordered the thousands of local and statewide police, National Guard, MO Highway Patrol and Homeland Security to stand down, the rioters had their way. The DOJ, including a full troop of FBI agents, was put on the case—not for the arsonists and looters, but to investigate Officer Wilson. Last week it ended in a whimper. The DOJ exonerated ex-officer Darren Wilson of violating Michael Brown's civil rights. I would dare say that Darren Wilson's life has been altered if not destroyed.

  • Eric Garner—"I can't breathe!" Another case where a Grand Jury decided not to charge police with a crime even though they classified it a "homicide." Garner, a heavy black man with health problems, was selling cigarettes one at a time to peeps on the street. A store owner called the NYPD to complain. After resisting arrest, Eric was jumped by eight to ten police. The butt seller was held down with weight around his head and neck. I believe the police could have taken the pressure from his neck and head and held him down by sheer numbers. As to the racial nature of the attack, as alleged, it should be noted that the officer in charge was a black female. Garner's daughter opined that race had nothing to do with the attack.

    Yet, the "I can't breathe" chant rose right up there in protestor lingo. Even NBA and NFL players had this smeared on their shoes and shirts. Obama praised the players for expressing themselves. The DOJ has claimed it is investigating for Civil Rights infringements.

Out of the chants that came from riots all over the USA regarding these incidents, the one that was most despicable was, "What do we want? DEAD COPS! When do we want it? NOW!"

The race-baiters got their wish. Cops were shot at all over the country. Partners sitting in their squad car in Brooklyn were assassinated, point blank, by a Muslim.

Wonder if Obama, Sharpton, Holder, Nixon, de Blasio, Jackson and Farrakhan will ever get the blood off their hands.

I doubt it.

Wonder what would happen if their personal bodyguards, most of them in police work of some kind, went on strike, say while a black was charging at their charges.

No, that would be a shame.

Wouldn't it?
