Very, very sad.
 
Reports out today the Kentucky State Trooper gunned down was arranging a hotel for the family in the automobile he stopped so no one would have to go to jail.

There is not enough money in the world to convince me to do that job.

Another American tragedy, typical of America. Very sad story, indeed!

Its easier to get a gun here than it is to get someone to agree to fuck you for free.
Crap like this is inevitable the way things are now.

It's easier to get a gun than it is to vote.

Easier than a lot of stuff...

Bringing a dog into a restaurant.
Buying a box of antihistamines.
Buying beer.
Getting a cellphone contract.
Hunting/fishing license.
Qualifying for food stamps.
And many more...

Contrary to right wing propaganda Police officer is not one of the most dangerous jobs.

And as for the "War on Cops" that Fox news is pushing, that's bullshit.

Black Lives Matter isn't going anywhere so naturally Fox News is starting to try and delegitimatize the movement. But first, they have to invent a "War on Cops." Despite mounds of evidence thatviolence against police is not increasing, 58% of Americans believe there's a war on law enforcement.

"It turns out 2015 is shaping up to be one of the safest years for police ever," Larry Wilmore pointed out on his show last night. "Not only are they dying in lower numbers, they're also being attacked less. But wait a minute -- attacks are way down but the perception is that they're way up? How is that?"

You guessed it: propaganda. Namely -- but not exclusively -- from Fox News.

"You may be wondering how that happens. The answer: magic," Wilmore said as he pulled out a deck of cards. "And that magician is Fox News." Wilmore, who evidently has some magic chops, goes on to explain how this sleight-of-hand is pulled: blaming a peaceful protest movement for a "war" that doesn't exist.

Very sad indeed and a good cop dies in the process. We cannot admit that's it's a gun problem of course.

Disgusting. Anybody who murders someone else is a disgusting POS and should be jailed for life if not fried.

We've posted a lot about cops murdering innocent people. The shoe is on the other foot for this one. No cop deserves to lose their life over nothing. Just like no member of the public deserves to lose their life over nothing.
