And fuck them.

it is almost like a script anymore

paid agitators. We are citizens who pay your wages and want an honest service for it.

Fucking monsters.

just a "cop hater" who's trying to put them in danger on the street.

Racially profile, assault with impunity, murder, lie, and cover-up their criminal behavior.

concerning the protesting of jim crow?

Oh ... That's right! Outside Race agitators!

Things change just enough to remain the same.

Fucking racists with a badge, a gun and a license to kill!

This is what I see on the ABC page:

Fraternal Order of Police: Don't listen to 'professional race agitators'

It didn't?

Wow, these guys have their heads up their you know what further than I thought.

It was white agitators that caused the trouble there don't you know...black people were cool with the situation until the agitators came down from up north to cause trouble.

I heard it all before many times.

before posting my comment. I like the way you put it, better.

And my memory has not failed me yet.

WTF!!!! This statement by this S. Carolina cop group shows one of the key components of the larger problem. CYA at all cost. Damn the human life wasted.

they say.

and they are race profilers that causes agitation.

They leave no doubt about what we're up against when dealing with police organizations.

Common sense would tell you that you just SHUT UP AND LET IT GO TO TRIAL!

Anyone with half a brain knows this is not the case you want to rally behind. Not many people from the left (DU) or right (FR) support what this cop did but nooo the police union just couldnt sit by, they have to defend their brother even when he's caught on video executing an unarmed man who is running away.

There is only group agitating and baiting here and it aint protesters.

SC Tri-county Fraternal Order of Police....once again it will be those who speak out and speak up who they will try to malign..


“Do not allow the professional "police" to seize this moment to advance their often self-serving opinions."

In "deed" will the police be able to be trusted....again...

As for body cams...everyone should have one..not just the POLICE.....

....are the white cops killing unarmed black men, then trying to defend it. THOSE are race agitators.

are the ones that are paying attention to the news every day. They see horrible things commited by the police every day, with little to no accountability. Anyone that trusts the police are people with an agenda, and it's not for the betterment of the community as a whole.

Minoritiies that don't trust the police are NOT paying much attention to the news reports ... One doesn't need the media to report to you, what you see everyday, and have seen for decades. It is, now, the non-minorities that are paying attention. (and that's a good thing).

Also, the vast majority of people that trust the police, don't have an agenda; they just live in a world where they have no reason NOT to trust the police ... the up-scale (non-PoC) suburbanite (i.e., the group that polls as most trusting of L/E), for the most part has no reason not to trust the police; their interaction with the police is, generally, when they need help, or when they, arguably/admittedly, have done something wrong ... and, even in that case, experience has taught them that they are just as likely to get a Warning, as the ticket.

Silence if nothing surfaces against the cop

"Cop was fighting for his life" if still pictures surface

"Don't fall into the agitators' trap" if a conclusive video surfaces

Talk about seizing "this moment to advance their often self-serving opinions."

Classic projection.

Ya mean these folks?

I say take away their (cops) guns, or have them leave their guns in their
cars. They will learn to play nice.

Now if every young black man could have a living wage job, instead of
zero hope, that would make a difference.

How about guaranteed employment for all people leaving jail, as well
as all citizens.

Crime would be next to zero, and we could have the police concentrate
on the real criminals. Wall Street.

We aren't devaluing the work of police, they are doing it themselves by being lying, racist, murderers. They should be working to get rid of the bad apples, instead of pushing the totally unproductive blind mindless support of the killers in blue. I'll be glad to quit complaining when unarmed people (other than white males) quit being killed or raped by cops for no reason other than they aren't white males.

We have acceded to the demands of the police state, we have made ourselves targets for the local police by being poor, immigrants, elderly, disabled, any other form of minority, and including homeless and hungry. We have made innumerable attempts to dissuade the police from murdering minorities and the homeless. Yet the continue on their warpath of destruction of our civil rights, claiming that innumerable people attempt to resist arrest, thereby giving the officer legal justification for shooting unarmed civilians.

Now though the S.C. Tri-County Fraternal Order of Police has issued a "rallying cry" to their members to in effect murder those whom they find are "race agitators" and dissidents to society's well being and "good" order. In effect they have issued a "fatwa" for those who are dissidents to their cause of restoring the good order of society. They have clearly stated their goal, to reduce citizens to slaves who are unwilling to "buck the system." Dissent is, under their coming regime is a thing of the past, is gone and the Constitution has been replaced by the buybull as the law giving document.

Still think this killer cop is gonna do hardtime/death for this crime?

SH*T, not in AmeriKKKa..."professional race agitators", nah that ain't racist at all!

Hey I'm waiting for all the "good cops" to step up and slap this racist BS from their blue brothers down!

that they will always, always, always cover up any and all crimes their brothers in blue commit?

Even ones carried out in full view of cameras!

My viewpoint of law enforcement has radically changed in the last few weeks. Being white, middle class and law-abiding, I used to be more than willing to give the police the benefit of a doubt in questionable situations. I still believe that there are plenty of do-right police in this country---but not nearly as many as I once imagined. I feel guilty for my naivete'---and I also feel that every cop in the nation needs to be wearing a monitoring camera, just as soon as possible.

Anybody else have similar feelings, these days?

The work being done by the police is what is devaluing it!

These guys have no clue!

WOW! This is a verbatim rehash of a term used in the south in the 50's and 60's. What's next? Bringing out the fire hoses and attack dogs?

Is bad police and those that cover for them.
