Congressional staff members staged a walkout Thursday in protest of the recent killings of black men by police officers, both of which did not result in grand jury indictments.

They were protesting the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in New York. Protesters have gathered nationwide in the wake of the decisions by grand juries to clear the officers who killed both men.

The walkout comes as both chambers attempt to pass a $1.1 trillion spending measure and avoid another government shutdown.

1029 police kills and counting....

How many were unjustified in your view?

Only a fool would comment on those without knowing the details on all 1029 people killed by police so far this year...I'm not even sure the number is accurate.
If accurate it's pretty unbelievable that in 3 years the police have killed more people than were killed on 9/11

Kind of rude, no? A fair question was asked; no commentary.

And if even commentary was included, do you expect people to read each and every one of the instances in your link? Have you?

I browsed the list and it was tough to tell by the link titles - though I'd imagine some would have cloudy circumstances around them.

Heres another reply ...
Rude....? how so, to who?
No I don't expect everyone or anyone to read every instance, maybe I posted the link for informational purposes for those that didn't know such a page existed.
Have I...no...that's why I can't won't answer the question.
And the WTFs are directed at me?

For anyone that wants pure commentary or talk-out-ass then ignore my posts.

I guess, had you'd said "I'd be a fool to comment on..." it might not have been so easily misconstrued. Anyway, my mistake. Thanks for clarifying.

(by the way, some of those WTFs may have been related to that weird string of posts awhile back. Who knows)

well next time you have an emergency and don't trust the cops call your local gang members I'm sure they would be willing to help....especially if you own a liquor store or other retail business. )

how is what they did a slap to all law enforcement? also, you keep saying that people will get the police that they demand, do you care to explain what you mean by that?

I'm pretty sure he means that in time- and likely very soon- law enforcement will be taking anyone to wear the uniform given the rather dismal state of the profession.

I read somewhere of a movement in Los Angeles to assemble a more diverse police force. In doing so, the LAPD embraced some people who also served gangs. Corruption ensued and the LAPD wore egg on its face as a result. I'll try to find the piece again.

And before anybody squirts a rosebud into their pants, I am not saying an ethnically diverse police force is not good. It would be ideal; however, I maintain that the right people need to assume the positions- not just anyone to fill a quota.

Who in their right mind wants to be a cop in this climate? Good luck finding the 'right people' for the job.

I think before we see the police society wants society would be used to robots pouring its lattes.

sorry thirty, but what climate are we in?

I think everyone agrees that we need the right people do become cops but who are those right people? I want cops who are going to fight for justice and I believe that most cops want that too. cops who do bad shit put all cops in an unsafe situation.

Then the complaint will be there is not enough police around.The police respond to slow.Crime is really rising.Drug activity /gang violence will increase and continue to take over neighborhoods once thought of as "good" areas.
Two cop shootings last night alone in my neck of the woods(comfy white areas).Both cases perp fired on arriving officers first after a domestic quarrel.Both put down.Also 2 officers shot last night in Atlanta.Not sure of present condition.I wouldn't want to go to work everyday knowing Its a real possibility I will get shot.
"Hands up ,don't shoot "is easy to say when in reality I believe the people protesting have no idea the amount of deadly violence law enforcement experience directed at them everyday.Would make me a little more on guard.Very understandable.

What climate are we in? Seriously?

Do you think 10 cop bashing threads running concurrently with each other doesn't say something about the current levels of respect for the policing profession?

If you want good people to enter the profession, then be prepared to treat them very well. If poor salaries aren't enough to dissuade the 'right' person from entering the profession, the general disdain for the police might be enough.

What a silly comparison.

You keep basing an entire profession's credibility on the sensationalized high profile cases where poor work was exhibited.

Do you understand that countless good police work occurs every day that completely obliterates the idea that you seem to really want to promote- that cops suck?

For perspective... what do you do? Is your profession so squeaky clean that you feel it is your place to shit all over another?
