Sure blame it on Trump.

The guy who has the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police and who the law enforcement community is going to overwhelmingly vote for.

The more I see assholes like you spewing this kind of bullshit, the more I am warming up to Trump.

Better fasten your seat belts.

We've got five days to go, and if you think this election's been ugly so far, well, I got a feelin it's going to get a whole lot uglier before it's over.

Is that some kind of threat? Am I supposed to be scared or something?

Well, here are some facts for you, "cracker":
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...-300/93155124/

The ambush-style killings of two police officers in the Des Moines area add to a deadly increase in a disturbing trend for law enforcement nationwide: the number of police officers gunned down has increased 167% this year, according to a law enforcement group.


A total of 115 officers have been killed in the line of duty in 2016, a 15% increase over last year. Additionally, 52 of those officers were killed by gunfire, a 58% increase, the Washington, D.C.-based not-for-profit reported.

Overall, more officers have been shot and killed so far this year than during any full year since 2011, according to the fund.


I'm sure all the BLM folks and their friends are proud.

BLM? You cons never tire of mischaracterizing BLM as an organization that espouses violence in an effort to demonize and discredit them. More importantly, the reason you do it is a thinly veiled attempt to delegitimize their core issue.

I'm a "friend" of BLM and I'm far from proud of this racist asshole in Iowa. What possible connection could there be between a white supremacist murdering two cops and BLM? How did they serve as the inspiration for his actions? What is the motivation that they have in common?

And for an insult to work, it has to have some relevance to the "target". Joad is demonstrably and geographically a cracker. I am not.

Boreas,
I have to say that posting this in the CURRENT environment does make some implications. Probably not deliberately, but certainly not as sensitive as I would have been.

It implies, IMHO, that Trump supporters are white supremacist cop killers. Any other time, the posting would be simply stating facts.
