Now there’s a photo worth a thousand words.
Richard GRIFFIN aka Professor Griff, GRIFFIN embraces a radical form of Afrocentrism, and GRIFFIN wrote a book A Warriors Tapestry.
I’d say something past this point, but…
Yeah
I think people in a city generally have a pretty good idea whether the police are trying to get it right or not. And people who know seem to say the Dallas police are trying, successfully, the people know it, and the protest wasn’t about the local situation. And maybe police know as well as anyone that a random person snapping doesn’t say much about groups that person might belong to. Hope so.
Indeed it is. So much so that I’m shocked that anyone in the media picked up and published it. Maybe if we saw more of this and heard the voices behind such acts we could move forward with some much needed healing and discussing in America.
But when was the last time MSM did good by America? I guess that being civil minded and working to bring change that is net positive does not sell anymore.
Sad times for our country between this and the presidential campaign. SO far today I’ve managed to not hear of what tRump said, did or tweeted today.
And that’s the only good thing from the MSM today…July 8.2016
Well, goodness me, now Glen’s on the radio telling his Beckerheads that we need to apologize for treating black people like dirt.
Except, I remember back in 08 when the Congress passed a resolution condemning Jim Crow, the Beckster mocked the hell out of it. Remember that?
He’s done lots and lots of other racist stuff. Glen hates Media Matters for good reason. It keeps track.
Just wanna make sure you know you created messes like this.

And we are off to the races I’m sure with some trying to tie this Islam.
(sigh)
Damn! So it is a case of domestic terrorism.
Yeah, it only takes one name for dickheads like that coward Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers to screech that Johnson was linked to ISIS.
Never mind the fact that he’s ALREADY doing it, http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/oath-keepers-calls-establishment-militias-response-dallas-ambush but he had no names before.
I paused to marvel at it before reading. It is really exceptional.
Like when LA Times and CBS news reported Michael Xavier Johnson’s name as Micah X Johnson?
Yes. Now that he is also being tied to “Professor Griff” from Public Enemy fame, who is now and “afrocentric admirer” of the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan, the shit storm will now get even worse.
People mourning the dead police officers and honoring them in this way know the police last night had their backs, and were protecting their right to gather and demonstrate.
@lestatdelc Even my newly gun-toting friend in Dallas (about whom I’ve posted my distress in her buying one) hates this guy. She thinks of Texas as the wild west, feels vulnerable, is her explanation, but this guy is a bridge too far. Or a pol too insane.
Welp… If it bleeds, it leads.
I’m going to break the trumpless spell you’re under. Consider it good news. He wanted to use the NYPD as an opportunity for a photo op and its subsequent free press coverage… Because trumpet gives a shite about uniformed police officers…
Griff is tinfoil crazy but in fairness, I took a backstage photo with him, better than 20 yrs ago.
Another aspect to this: employing a robot with a bomb. The future really arrived last night.
But according to the asshole Lt. Governor of Texas, they are all hypocrites for running away while hating the police.
(sigh)
As far as I’m concerned, it can go back where it came from.
Well, there you go—the POS could not let 24 hours go by without taking the death of multiple police officers and making it about his pure, unadulterated asshole self. Just couldn’t do it. You knew it would happen somehow, and yet when it does it’s so despicable that it’s hard to believe.
You make a good point, though, about its being good news. Bratton told him to take a flying, and now the WaPo is running the story and I’m sure others will follow. Nobody with a shred of decency can fail to see the crass smallness, the utter lack of heart, and the sheer stupidity of that.
AAAND now Hope Hicks says they never reached out to the NYPD. The department says they did. Golly, somebody’s lying. Wonder who?
