Let me start with my conclusion: Hillary Clinton is too phony to be believed. And whatever else you may think of the #blacklivesmatter bunch, they\’re too smart to think this kind of pandering, clearly aimed in their direction, has an ounce of sincerity.
Now let me show you what prompted the above comments – this statement, which is taken, verbatim, from Hillary Clinton\’s facebook page:
What we\’ve seen too much of in the last few years is a spate of people who have reached for a gun before they really figured out what was going on. They\’ve been much too eager to use that gun-we\’ve seen it with policing and we\’ve seen it with civilians.
With police, first and foremost, they need to be trained and held accountable and disciplined in a way that prevents the reaction that we\’ve seen way too much of. And with civilians-a lot of these “stand your ground” laws need to be rewritten. If you have to defend yourself, OK. But look at some of the instances we’ve had-Trayvon Martin, and too many more.
Nobody should want to create circumstances in which innocent, unarmed people are killed-either by law enforcement or by civilians wielding guns. We\’ve got to figure out how to deal with that.
Let\’s go through Ms. Clinton\’s BS paragraph by paragraph:
-First Paragraph
Police are indistinguishable in their use of guns from “civilians” (what a lovely, sanitized word)?
Tell us, Hillary, how many times, in the 35 – 40 MILLION or so face-to-face interactions between police and civilians per year have guns been fired by police? How many people have been shot by police, versus how many have been shot by the people they protect us from? You don\’t see any difference here?
-Second Paragraph
Police are untrained? Not held accountable? What world do you live in?
You don\’t like “stand your ground” laws? Spoken like someone who has spent her life with armed security – in other words, you are ALWAYS armed whether you carry the weapons or not, you hypocrite. Speaking as someone who does not travel with a cadre of security people, trust me when I say that, if I\’m attacked by someone and I have a means of defending myself, you better believe I\’ll use it.
“If you have to defend yourself, OK”? How benevolent. All heart. Give that woman an honorary police badge.
Trayvon Martin????????????????? Did you happen to read the eyewitness accounts, or the jury verdict? Even if you ignore both, to invoke Trayvon Martin in an attack on police – who had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with his shooting – is to prove you are a phony and a panderer.
-Third Paragraph
I love that first-mention of law enforcement, before of “civilians wielding guns” (which is about as sanitized a way of saying street thugs as you will ever see). Anyone who thinks you intend to show that you have more regard for the police than thugs, should read that sentence over and over again.
For the record, Ms. Clinton, in 2013, the latest data I could find, there were 16,121 homicides, and 11,208 were committed with firearms.
The highest estimate of police killings varies depending on whose statistics you use. The FBI says about 400 a year, other sources put it at about 1,000. But what no one disputes is that it is the police who come running to a potential perp with a gun when everyone else runs away. And a vast majority of police shootings are of people with guns, often who have shot those guns already, whether at victims, the police or both.
In 2013 alone, police came running for an estimated 1,160,000 violent crimes. Maybe you should take that into account…as you might take into account that, last year, 117 Law officers died in the line of duty. Who do you think shot them, Ms. Clinton? Do you think, maybe, it was the kind of people they draw their guns to protect us – and them – from?
The above commentary is why I call Hillary Clinton a phony and a panderer.
And anyone who thinks the Black radicals it is meant to impress are buying her “sincerity” needs a remedial course in basic common sense.
