POOR, INNOCENT, NAIVE SHEPARD SMITH: Completely Clueless as to Why Cops Are Being Slaughtered

In the wake of another horrific ambush of police officers earlier today in Baton Rouge, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith was actually arguing with the Governor of Louisiana a few minutes ago.

He was saying, in essence, that no one has a clue as to how to stop this madness.

I beg to differ, Shmuckard, I mean, Shepard. How about electing a President who actually treats people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin? Who waits until facts emerge before opining on law enforcement issues?

The President of the Cleveland Police Union put it bluntly today, stating that “President Obama has blood on his hands.”

Detective Steve Loomis, President of the Cleveland Police Union, was interviewed on Sunday on Fox News. He described the situation that began with Alton Sterling. The president of the United States validated the nonsense and false narrative that the Black Lives Matter and the media spewed with his divisiveness, he said.

The detective called for someone to put an end to this.

It’s “insane” that a governor of Minnesota and a president of the United States made the statements they made one day after the police-involved shootings, the union chief said. They absolutely and directly triggered these senseless murders of law enforcement officers throughout this country. “It’s reprehensible”, he added.

They have politicized the false narrative and the president has “blood on his hands” and it “will not be washed off”, Officer Loomis said.

Officer Loomis wants to know how police officers became the bad guys. We have celebrities and athletes spewing venom at them.

A false narrative has been handed down from the White House all the way down the offices of government to inflame racial tension.

From the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, to “the police acted stupidly”, to calling America “a nation of cowards”, this president and his administration have done their very best to sow racial division, discord, and civil unrest.

All is proceeding as they have planned. (For more from the author of “POOR, INNOCENT, NAIVE SHEPARD SMITH: Completely Clueless as to Why Cops Are Being Slaughtered” please click HERE)

White House Addresses Decision Not to Support Cops With Blue Light Display

Though the Obama White House has been illuminated to show support for other causes, most notably the legalization of gay marriage, numerous critics pointed out the mansion received no such treatment following the recent mass shooting that left five Dallas police officers dead.

Reports indicate the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association sent a request to the administration to shine blue light on the White House as a memorial to the officers killed and injured, though the effort was not successful.

“Actions speak louder than scripted words,” FLEOA president Jon Adler wrote in a statement, “and the honorable act of displaying law enforcement’s ‘Thin Blue Line’ at the White House would demonstrate the President’s sincere commitment to our fallen heroes and their families.”

In response to a question asked by a reporter on Wednesday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest reportedly confirmed turning the White House blue is “not something we plan to do at this point.”

Further explaining the decision to limit its public display of support for the law enforcement community, the administration described President Barack Obama’s actions thus far as sufficient.

“The president has chosen to acknowledge this loss and pay tribute to these heroes in a variety of other ways,” the White House statement asserted, “including: ordering flags lowered to half staff, traveling to Dallas to speak at the memorial service and spending a substantial amount of time after the service visiting with the families of those who were lost.”

Earnest confirmed Obama was slated to host a White House meeting on Wednesday “that will include law enforcement officials” in addition to “activists, academics, civil rights leaders, local political leaders from across the country.” (For more from the author of “White House Addresses Decision Not to Support Cops With Blue Light Display” please click HERE)

PUZZLING DISMISSAL: Still Unclear Why Dallas Gunman Was Honorably Discharged From US Military

Almost a week after the Dallas sniper attacks, it’s still unclear how the gunman obtained an honorable discharge from the military even though Army officials sent him home from Afghanistan with a recommendation that he be thrown out of the armed forces.

An attorney appointed by the military to represent Micah Johnson in a sexual harassment case speculated last week that Johnson’s behavioral record could be more serious. The attorney says he’s now under strict orders not to discuss the matter with reporters.

Johnson, 25, served in the Army Reserve for six years before the July 7 sniper attack, which killed five Dallas police officers. (Read more from “PUZZLING DISMISSAL: Still Unclear Why Dallas Gunman Was Honorably Discharged From US Military” HERE)

Obama Refuses Request to Honor Dallas’ Fallen Heroes

Policemag.com reports that following the Dallas shooting Thursday night that left five police officers dead, a request was made to illuminate the White House in blue to honor those officers killed in the attack.

Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, said in a statement that the group appreciated the president’s order that flags to be flown at half-staff; however, he asked President Obama to show his full respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice by displaying law enforcement’s “Thin Blue Line” at the White House. Adler said this act would go further to show Obama’s commitment to law enforcement than his “scripted words.”

Although the White House has been illuminated for occasions such as Breast Cancer Awareness (pink) and the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriages (rainbow), Obama refused Adler’s request.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the Governor’s Mansion in Austin to be illuminated in honor of the slain officers.

Adler said that the law enforcement community was unable to receive comfort from the scripted comments from people such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Referring to Ryan’s remark that this is “a time for healing,” Adler pointed out that another officer had been shot in Missouri. “We can’t heal while law enforcement officers continue to bleed,” he said.

As for Pelosi, who quoted the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Adler stated that she needed to exhibit Dr. King’s leadership ability rather than quoting his statements.

Adler’s statement also urged officials to eliminate their scripted speeches and feel the pain that people across the country are feeling from this attack. He suggested they light a blue candle and say a prayer in lieu of insulting members of law enforcement with “perishable scripted gibberish.”

Adler said the illumination of the White House would be a tribute to the service of five fallen heroes, ending the statement by saying, “May all our fallen heroes rest in honor, and blessed eternal peace.” (For more the author of “Obama Refuses Request to Honor Dallas’ Fallen Heroes” please click HERE)

NFL Star Posts Graphic Image of Slitting Cop’s Throat

The following image was posted and later deleted by Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell, 23.

Under the Instagram image showing blood spilling from the officer’s neck, Crowell wrote, “Mood: They give polices [sic] all types of weapons and they continuously choose to kill us … #Weak.”

WCBS-TV noted that the man in black resembles ISIS terrorist Jihadi John who is known for appearing in online videos in which he is shown beheading American and British victims. The man in the Instagram photo is cloaked completely in black and wears an ANKH pendant around his neck.

According to Cleveland.com, Crowell posted the image after Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were shot and killed by police officers. (Read more from “NFL Star Posts Graphic Image of Slitting Cop’s Throat” HERE)

Shocking Detail Revealed About Dallas Shooter’s History With Black Militant Group

In the wake of the deadliest attack on law enforcement since 9/11, new details are starting to emerge about Micah Xavier Johnson’s past.

Since last Thursday’s sniper attack in Dallas that left five officers dead and seven wounded, it’s been discovered that Johnson was a sympathizer of some black militant groups and was friends with a man who preached radical “afrocentrism.” But The Daily Beast is reporting other surprising details.

When Johnson was sent home from Afghanistan, it was because he stole women’s panties and was eventually caught. He was discharged in the summer of 2014. Back at home, he sought to join radical black movement groups that believed in armed resistance against white people.

The organization he originally tried to join remains unknown, but in order to be accepted he had to submit an application. That process was handled through known affiliates. One of these militant groups was the Collective Black People’s Movement. Ken Moore, who is a member, was asked to run a background check on Johnson. When he found out about the Army and the reason Johnson was sent home, Moore labeled him as “unfit for recruitment.”

Because this type of blacklisting is reported to other black nationalist groups, Johnson was effectively banned from joining any of them. “Once you’re blacklisted by the alert that we put out, that’s a wrap,” Moore said.

On Thursday, Johnson took matters into his own hands and launched his attack on white officers during a “Black Lives Matter” protest.

During the final moments in the standoff in Dallas, Johnson wrote “R.B.” on the wall with his own blood. Investigators suspect this might have been a nod to the Black Riders Liberation Party, an extremist group that has openly called for the death of “oppressors.” The full acronym is “RBG” — which represents the colors of the Pan-African flag, red, black and green — but it seemed Johnson was never able to finish the last initial.

Lakesia Washington, the leader of the Black Riders, has repeatedly shouted for a “call to arms” among all black people. On Thursday afternoon, she posted on Facebook: “We intend to see that our racist oppressors also get a taste of death!”

When news broke that Johnson had killed five officers in Dallas later that night, celebration occurred within the group.

Washington posted a message in tribute. It read: ““R.I.P. Micah…X…Johnson !!!… RBG 4 LIFE!” (For more from the author of “Shocking Detail Revealed About Dallas Shooter’s History With Black Militant Group” please click HERE)

Clinton Faults ‘White People’ and ‘Systemic Racism’ in Wake of Dallas Shootings

In the wake of the deadly Dallas ambush that killed five police officers, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton put the responsibility for addressing America’s divisions squarely on the shoulders of “white people” Friday while also calling for federal guidelines to address “systemic racism” that leads to the shooting of black men by police officers

“I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have ‘The Talk,’ about, you now, how to really protect themselves (from police), when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police,” Clinton said Friday on CNN.

“I’m going to be talking to white people, we’re the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens,” she said.

“We’ve got to figure out what is happening when routine traffic stops, when routine arrests, escalate into killings … Clearly, there seems to be a terrible disconnect between many police departments and officers and the people they have sworn to protect,” she said.

Clinton said federal policing guidelines are needed because some police departments need to address “systemic racism, which is a reality, and to go after systemic bias,” she said.

Many pushed back at Clinton.

Writing on Breitbart, Joel B. Pollak said Clinton’s comments were “deeply offensive in the context of an attack where white officers had been targeted, and the very opposite of what a president is supposed to do.”

“Clinton made stark, condescending generalizations about white people and their supposed inability to listen to black people,” he added.

He also noted that in Clinton’s view, forging unity was a one-way street

“… she made no reciprocal requests of black Americans — no need to examine cultural attitudes to police, or the hostile rhetoric of some community leaders,” Pollak added, contrasting her comments with the “measured and sensitive” statement issued by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who called for unity among all Americans and support for law and order to protect everyone.

What the Media Won’t Say About the Gun Used in Dallas Shooting

In the wake of the tragic Dallas shooting that killed five police officers, President Obama seemed to indicate that “powerful weapons” were part of the problem and “in the days ahead we’re going to have to consider those realities.”

During early reporting of the attack, many news outlets claimed the perpetrator was using a sniper rifle or assault rifle. However, that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

The weapon that was actually used is more than 70 years old. CBS News revealed the gun used was an SKS rifle and drastically different when compared to semi-automatics like the AR-15.

Certain states have specific classifications as to what can be designated an assault rifle: grips, magazine type, and other cosmetic features, to name just a few. The SKS does not meet any of those qualifications; even updating the weapon with modern-day parts would reduce reliability.

After all, it was made during World War II.

What the Obama administration seemed to ignore was that the motive of the killer was plainly stated: to kill “white officers.” Micah Xavier Johnson, the gunman, was angered by the recent situations involving police shootings against African-Americans.

Johnson was also carrying a pistol with him, which he used to take down a cop in a close quarters firefight. Johnson was eventually killed by a robot carrying a bomb — the only way police believed was possible to take out the shooter without risking more lives.

Police Chief David Brown had some sobering and heartfelt words for reporters after the incident. “We don’t feel much support most days,” he said. “Let’s not make today most days. Please, we need your support to be able to protect you from men like these who carried out this tragic, tragic event.” (For more from the author of “What the Media Won’t Say About the Gun Used in Dallas Shooting” please click HERE)

Lone Gunman Laughed, Sang During Standoff: Sources

A North Texas Army veteran has been identified as the lone gunman responsible for the sniper attacks that killed five police officers and injured seven others in Dallas, authorities say.

Micah Xavier Johnson, of Mesquite, ambushed officers at a peaceful protest against nationwide police-involved shootings in Dallas on Thursday, police said.

The investigation into Johnson’s attack is still ongoing, and much remains is still unknown. But a picture is beginning to emerge of what went on inside the standoff — a source tells NBC Investigates that the 25-year-old was wounded by gunfire before being killed by a robot outfitted with a bomb — and how he prepared for the deadly assault . . .

Johnson was laughing and singing and not at all anxious during the standoff at the El Centro College building, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the incident told NBC 5 Investigates senior reporter Scott Friedman.

Johnson told police he had specifically been training for this event and working out in preparation for Thursday night. NBC 5 Investigates has also learned Johnson was wearing a military-style bulletproof vest. (Read more from “Lone Gunman Laughed, Sang During Standoff: Sources” HERE)

WATCH: A Police Officer Saved This Man’s Life During Dallas Ambush

While details are still unfolding regarding Thursday night’s horrific attack on Dallas law enforcement, Lynn Mays explains how a heroic officer saved his life while his own life was under attack.

After rapid fire shots went off, Mays recalls, “One police officer that was standing there pushed me out of the way because it was coming our direction … next thing you know we hear ‘officer down.'”

The ambush left five Dallas police officers dead and seven injured, becoming the deadliest single incident for U.S. law enforcement since September 11, 2001, according to CNN.

A suspect who died after a shootout with police also reportedly said he wanted to kill white people — especially white police officers — in response to the recent police shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana.

Two of the attackers were snipers who fired “ambush-style” from high up in a building, according to local authorities . . .

The ambush happened as peaceful protests were taking place in Dallas and was likely planned in advance to some degree. (For more from the author of “WATCH: A Police Officer Saved This Man’s Life During Dallas Ambush” please click HERE)
