A big fat dodge, because, he wants to run on his militarization and statistically small drop in the crime rate of Camden, and he WILL run on that!

Get ready USA, USA, USA…time to man up and put UK style cameras everywhere ghettos are housing people of color.

What chrisite couldn’t say:
If this happened in my state it would be over by now.
The innocent would disappear and the guilty would get rewarded.
Everything else is media hype and being it was last week or something, I can’t recall anything. I am to busy keeping new jersey as my play ground until some idiots pay for me to run for president.

politicians have nothing to say until its over then they can side with who ever the winner is . Obama had the balls to bring it up with out any poll results and republican fox news condemns him for it while republicans stick their tails between their legs. At least rand paul brought it up at some point so i’ll give him that. And no I am not a rand paul supporter I just call it as i see it.

Little problem for ya there, Chrisco: You keep sitting on the fence like that, that sucker’s gonna snap like a twig!

FYI That wasn’t (just) a cheap weight joke: He’s riding the line conservatives who aren’t foaming or trying to pull a Zimmerman Defense are trying to maintain – don’t condemn the cops, but insist that “the system will take care of this.” Well, “the system” righteously failed Trayvon Martin. Darren Wilson lives behind a thin blue line that’s doing its best to hide, obfuscate, and downright bully people. Here’s a golden oldie from Ed Meese: "If you didn’t do anything wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Randroid just brought it up so he could ride his libertarian hobby horse (“State BAD! Individual GOOD!”) while pushing for legislation that he hopes will help his ammosexual supporters to stop being outgunned by the authorities.

" " I’m not going to generalize about law enforcement, but every time I try to get into a Krispy Kreme after the hot fresh neon goes on, those figlio di puttana are already ahead of me." "

I will keep that in mind, in the event Christie runs in 2016.

“Why should I give an opinion as to whether they were right or wrong?”

Yeah, I mean it’s not like you’re a leader or aspire to high executive office or anything, right?

“…I’m not going to get into this…”

Leading from behind. Christie already admitted he’s out of the loop on important matters.

You know, when I clicked on the headline to read this, I was actually expecting to be happy with Christie for once. I don’t like it when politicians open their yaps about ongoing legal cases when the evidence is still being gathered, though Christie isn’t in the chain of courts here (as opposed to Obama or the folks in Missouri). But his words “this business of generalizing against law enforcement officers” is telling.

You can avoid (or try to avoid) an issue, but as an elected public servant issue will not let you do so. I am sure, Governor Christie, you understand that “I am not going into it” also implies that you have already gone ‘into’ it. A politician can not hide his/her face under the sand as camels do in the deserts.

Leading from behind. he KNOWS he has no chance at being POTUS.

At last, a man who will lead!
