This is incredible. Why would Politico publish such a horrid piece. Oh right, they are an organ of the WOP (Whites Only Party), oops, I mean the GOP…

Better policing, yes. However, I’ll bet my definition of “better policing” which includes respect for every individual regardless of race does not make sense to this conservative POS.

“Let’s be honest: Some black lives really don’t matter,” he wrote, calling the #BlackLivesMatter movement, “a lie.”
“If you are a young black man shot in the head by another young black man, almost certainly no one will know your name,” he added.
Yeah, if you’re lucky, you’ll get shot by a white man, and have your 15 minutes of fame!
Fuck you, Lowry.

“If you are a young black man shot in the head by another young black man, almost certainly no one will know your name,”
Because the crime and/or the perpetrator will be investigated, put on trial and sentenced to life in prison. Some of these cops have walked away without a legitimate investigation, just because of who they are and who they know. That’s where the problem lies, you numbskull. That’s why they’re upset, and in some cases have rioted. That tends to happen in a society where proper justice doesn’t apply to all people equally.
Jesus Christ, these people really don’t get it, do they?

More arrests, more incarceration? We already have more people behind bars than anyone else in the world…3x what the Russians have. If you are young, black and male, you are already living in a police state. Even Stalin would be impressed. So the solution to the problem is more arrests, more incarceration, more jails, more money squandered on courts and prisons that would be much better spent addressing the underlying problems? Bah…

The saddest part is that, to a large swath of white America, he is just “stating the obvious.” The “obvious” of course being completely idiotic and vile.

It seems Lowry’s definition of outreach is extending your arm all the way when flipping someone the bird.

I know one white guy whose life matters a lot less than it did before I read this garbage.

Rich Lowry: Some black lives really don’t matter.
To demagogues like Lowry, black lives matter most when they can be used to milk support from the vilest instincts of the GOP base.

Amadou Diallo might disagree with you, Mr. Lowry. But he’s dead.

They publish Lowry regularly. He really is a hack. That site has become a tabloid.

I see he is trotting out the GOP platform, I guess he thinks it plays well in Peoria.

Now, give me the names of ALL the Xians beheaded by Isis, or shut the fuck up about THEM.

Lowry is lying and he knows it.
Giuliani took office right after Mayor David Dinkins was finally able to get through many crime and police reforms. Giuliani did nothing. Giuliani takes all the credit for the results that largely came from Dinkins’ reforms.
Lowry is a lying, elitist, racist snob. Giuliani isn’t worth more of my typing.
