This is the same crap heard in the 1930s regarding “antagonizing” Hitler. Comedians and filmmakers were cautioned not to make too much fun of Der Fuehrer.

Soon after, Blackwell was arrested near the crime scene in a house on the block where he lives. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 2 Next Baltimore mayor lifts curfew after five nights as top...

He wore a seemingly ripped white prison suit. His charges include two counts of attempted murder of an officer. On Saturday night, Police Commissioner William Bratton told a news conference at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center that the two officers 'did not have an opportunity to get out [of the car] and return fire'. After the incident, witnesses described Blackwell to responding officers and pointed them in the direction he ran, Bratton said.

Speaking of Moore, who has been on the job since July 2010, he added: 'Our hearts are with his family, his loved ones. Our hearts are with his extended family, the men and women of the NYPD.' The shooting of Moore, who comes from a family of police officers, instantly evoked fears of the December 2014 slayings of two uniformed officers as they sat in their patrol cars in Brooklyn. In that incident, the suspect had posted online that he was seeking retribution against officers for the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner in an apparent chokehold by police on Staten Island last July. +21 Looking for the gun: NYPD officers search for the weapon used to shoot Officer Moore in Queens on Sunday +21 At work: Cops are seen searching house-to-house for the gun at around the same time Blackwell was in court +21 Checking everywhere: A New York City cop is seen on the roof of a house in the area where Blackwell lives Mayor de Blasio speaks after police officer is shot on duty The killings of Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos - whose funerals thousands of cops from across America - strained an already tense relationship between city police unions and de Blasio. Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch turned his back on the mayor at a hospital on the day of the killings and said that de Blasio had 'blood on his hands'. But on Saturday night, Lynch was among the officials who attended the news conference about the shooting of Moore, who was working out of the 105th precinct when he was shot around 6.15pm. Lynch could be seen shaking the mayor's hand and speaking briefly with him afterward. According to CBS, Moore was in surgery on Sunday as doctors battled to keep him stable.

Recurring under Obama. Major Nadal, the Tsarnaev brothers, and these two devils were all known jihadists not prevented from carrying out their attacks.

Pamela Geller Battles CNN Host over Garland Shooting: Why Is Media ‘Targeting’ Us? ...................................................................................... by Evan McMurry \| 8:37 am, May 4th, 2015 Hours after a shooting at a Muhammad cartoon event Garland, Texas that left the two gunmen dead, the event’s sponsor and American Freedom Defense Initiative president Pamela Geller battled CNN’s Alisyn Camerota over whether the event had provoked violence. “Increasingly, we’re abridging our freedoms so as not to offend savages,” Geller alleged. “The very idea that if something offends me, or I’m insulted by something I’ll kill you and somehow this is okay with members of the elite media, and academia, is outrageous.” Geller has made a career of warning of the “Islamization” of America; the Southern Poverty Law Center lists her as an extremist. “The fact that we have to spend upwards of $50,000 in security speaks to how dangerous and how in trouble freedom of speech is in this country,” Geller said. “And then we have to get on these news shows, and somehow we are, those that are targeted, those that were going to be slaughtered, are the ones who get attacked speaks to how morally inverted this conversation is.” “This is not an attack,” Camerota replied, pointing out that they were at that moment having the exact conversation over speech and piety Geller had been calling for.
