Abilene officer murdered at home in planned, coordinated attack by 'multiple parties'

Democrats still respect authority. It isn't us screaming "you lie" to a sitting president in a chamber that should be the most respected in the nation. It isn't a democrat thing that people of color are fearful of sending their young adult children to the store, without worry that a racist bigoted cop with poor training, will shoot them dead! It certainly doesn't have anything to do with president Obama either. Killing cops is very very wrong. Cops playing judge, jury and executioner for minor infractions is worse!

Anything else that y'all like to credit Obama for, like the Armenian Genocide, Hiroshima, Nazis, Katrina, 9/11 and Ebola (oh wait, you did blame him for Ebola). lol

But the actual gang of thieves that make cheap guns available to the masses are never at fault. Hmmm. Those that bring drugs, or manufacture, or steal and distribute drugs, armed to the teeth is ok cause black deaths don't really count as real deaths, do they?

What specifically makes someone a thug, and what specifically are you speaking of that makes this well educated, quiet, calm mannered, polite, measured, great American success story a thug?

Give me one reason to respect this authority. Just one.

The Day Ferguson Cops Were Caught in a Bloody Lie - The Daily Beast

The heroic Boys in Blue in the Ferguson police department picked up the wrong guy, beat him up in the precinct, and charged him with 4 counts of destruction of public property for bleeding on their uniforms.

I am not making any of this up. Wish I was.

Did anyone care? Not until the national spotlight was turned on those little backwater hellholes where the city government relies on fines and court fees for a substantial part of their budget, and the police eagerly helps with the shakedown.

How, do we possibly get the jobs and infrastructure necessary to keep the inner cities from becoming slums and dumps with republicans in charge? Any suggestions here folks!

Let us not forget the "for profit" jail industry making these hellish backwaters a revolving door they can never get out of.

I seem to recall Obama's stimulus of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS when he came into office. Why was very little of that spent on infrastructure? And Democrats were in control of the Senate, House of Representatives, and the Presidency at that time, so plenty of opportunities to build infrastructure without interference from Republicans.
