Well…with all of the anti government rhetoric the floods out of the repubs these days, is it any wonder that the less stable of us in this country acts on it? When you have elected repubs barely contain their disdain for our president and openly say “real American’s are coming for you, Obama”, is there any wonder that people make the connection that the police are part of the government that they are supposed to hate? And, with the fealty that the repubs pay to the NRA and it’s money, making sure that dangerous weapons are freely available to anyone, is it any wonder that three more police have died in Baton Rouge? This is all your fault repubs for your irresponsible fanning of the flames of division in this country for cynical political gain not giving one damn what it would lead to…and now we know…and I fear that the open carry nuts who you have egged on for decades now are going to unleash carnage on the police in Cleveland…and it will be your fault repubs…damn….

This is just too funny….
Well….it has been fun to watch as the dysfunction on the right and the just atrocious behavior by the front runners for the repub nomination have made the party just a toxic swamp of nastiness. But, the funniest thing I’ve read lately was an article a few minutes ago that shows the toxicity to be even worse than anyone thought. Some high ranking repubs are quietly starting to advise their members who are in tight races to skip the convention so they don’t get tarred by what they know is going to a debacle in Cleveland….yep, for the first time since I have been around…and that is a long time, politicians are going to abandon a sinking ship of a convention to try to keep their jobs by “talking” to their constituents and meeting with them instead of going to the convention…the place where every repbub just drools to get to to preen in front of the cameras and get free advertising. I laugh at all this since everyone but the right saw this coming…when you do nothing but stoke fear and hate, what do you expect? Now that their hate is being directed at themselves, they have lost control and the rats are deserting that quickly sinking ship…couldn’t happen to an uglier group of people….geez….
Tamir Rice….
Well….try as I might, I just can’t come up with a political topic…one terrible thing that happened just a little while ago is that they are not going to charge the cops that shot Tamir Rice…I wonder how they can get away with that…a 12 year old kid standing in the park, the cops roll up and shoot him in less than three seconds…and lied their asses off about it and they don’t get charged? I guess we saw this coming when the prosecutor started dumping on the kid and his family and leaking details that were lies to poison the grand jury pool…and, this guy is still not in the slammer? I just have no words about this crap that seems to happen every day here in the US…..shoot first, cover it up and lie seems to be in all the police training manuals across this country…and that makes me sick…..geez….
What is wrong with this country?
Well…with all of the attention on the killing in Ferguson, we have to remember that it was not the only killing by police of an unarmed black man that has happened lately. Earlier in the summer, a New York city police officer choked a black man to death because he was selling single cigarettes on the sidewalk…all of this was caught on tape showing that the officer used a choke hold that was specifically made illegal by the department and there was absolutely no aggression by the victim. But, today, another grand jury decided not to indict this ass of an officer…just like in Ferguson, another cop gets away with killing a black man for absolutely no reason….and now, we find today that the cop in Cleveland that killed Tamir Rice…the 12 year old black kid, was fired from a small town police department because he was unstable…but that didn’t matter to Cleveland, they hired this idiot anyway….and this is the result…another dead black person. What is wrong with this country to let this kind of stuff happen…I am at a loss for words…geez….
Here we go again…
Well..it would be nice to not have to do another one of these on another police shooting of a young black kid…but, here we go again…last week in Cleveland, a young black kid was screwing around with a pellet gun and the police showed up…within seconds, and with only shouting at the kid, a cop just shot him dead. This time the kid was doing what I and millions of other kids have done in their lives…just fooling around with a pellet gun…for a white kid, it would have been a nothing event…the cops would have just walked up to him and asked what was going on….why didn’t they do that here? Are the cops so afraid of a 12 year old boy that they shoot first and ask questions later? I am afraid that the outcome here is going to be the same as Ferguson…no cop being held accountable and their lawlessness being reinforced and rewarded…again…while the rest of us lose our faith that the laws of this country mean anything anymore….
