I will admit I am not a fan of police. Just Wednesday while walking on the sidewalk 2 Colorado officers shouted “fucking tranny” at me and drove away laughing. I’ve been unlawfully detained and beaten because I’m trans, but not killed because I am white and I am aware of this simple fact. But the veteran in me feels for the stone faced officers pictured behind Trump, thinking “I want to kill this man”. Guarantee the Marines on security detail thought the same thing from 2016-2020.
Personally if police want their image back, the ones who are not the racists attacking civil rights need to be protesting en masse. Going to the media, and whistleblowing the hell out of departments nationwide daily. Then I will see a police officer as a smiling face and not the machine gun wielding members of ISIS they act like.
Thank you for the kind words. It’s a disgrace that the nation I served honorably has filled me with so much anger in 38 years of life, I’d just as rather leave the country and never return just give me a passport.
I do agree that this country has many things that disgust me as well. At 71 I've lived through plenty. As a veteran you do deserve respect for your service. I'll share a story with you. When my husband was driving through town a few months ago, he saw a disabled veteran asking for donations. A situation like that is a disgrace and should not exist in this allegedly "great" country.
To “protect and serve” has really lost its meaning. I have a trans family member and it just ups the worry about them when I read this about kind of behavior. Agree that the anti-racist, anti-bullying police need to get behind this if they expect to regain any respect.
It’s sad. I grew up in a “leave it to beaver” suburb of Richmond, VA but knowing I was different put fear in me of police. Plus watching Rodney King live as a Kindergartner and the lack of prosecution blew my mind and forever told me: “police beat and kill people” (Richmond had a top 10 murder rate surpassing NYC in the ‘90s so police/gang violence was nightly news you toned out until Barbara Walters came on, or you switched to Tom brokaw etc
The majority of police want to take policing into the future. The minority want to keep it it in the past. Unfortunately, the blue wall will be impossible to breach. Let's hope the officers that want change will make their voices known by voting with the Dems on November 5, 2024.
Exactly! For example the St. Louis police chief is still not releasing body cam footage of the vehicular assault his officer carried out on a gay bar….But not even 1 officer to whistleblow or stand up and say this is wrong….seriously! And police will argue, not all are bad but silence is complacency. And every boot marine knows that complacency kills, the only thing is it’s American citizens (innocent) being killed.
I guess it is worth noting this is the same department which was recently on National display for the murder of Elijah McClain. Filing a complaint is beyond pointless sadly.
I’m so sorry you have these experiences Amber. I hope that this changes for the better, sooner than later. Thank you very much for your service to this country.
I appreciate your Service and am sickened by how you are treated for being transgender. I will never understand the level of ignorance it takes to hate people because of the color of their skin or their sexual identity. When I was young, we had a retort for when someone couldn’t mind their own business.. “What’s it to ya?” I’ve begun using that again.
You are more brave than most, both for your service and for taking a stand to be true to yourself, even though jerks like the policemen that tried to bully you make it so difficult. Your courage is an inspiration to anyone that has been marginalized or worse by supposedly "good" people. Know that there are many of us with love, respect, and acceptance for you. 💕
It's easy to conclude Trump doesn't care about the police. He doesn't care about ANYONE but himself. He doesn't care about those in the armed forces, past or present. Or renters. Or care about anyone he deems lesser than himself which, by his own arrogant standards, means everyone else in existence.
The only time Lord Trump the self-centered fuck gives a shit about the police is when there's a camera in the vicinity. Otherwise, like everything else in his phony hypocritical delusional world, it's only about me, myself and I. Why so many people are still in denial or can't see through his endless blatant bullshit is beyond mind blowing.
Perfect TV ad for the Biden campaign: alternating clips of Cheetohead yammering on about loving police with clips of the police getting attacked by the MAGAts at the Capitol. People need to SEE this hypocritical bullshit!
Trump using the slain officer's death as a "subdued" presser filled me with a double rage.
First of all, those parents invited ConDon to the funeral. As a parent of a dead child, I found this abhorrent. WTF kind of parents think that this would be a great time to invite the EX, while picking out the casket, choosing the burial site and contacting family and friends?
My mixed race daughter was found naked, stuffed in a box in NYC in 1990. She was misidentified as a male of Puerto Rican descent by whomever didn't give a shit. The detectives literally told me that if I wanted to know who killed my daughter "hire a private detective." There are lots of racist cops out there. Maybe that's why the family decided to ring the Bible Pusher? Should have been priced at $66.60. Much more appropriate.
Secondly, I heard multiple reports of DiaperDon speaking "subdued". Same wording every time. No one mentioned what you did, Jeff, that he wants to pardon people who were attacking the police on January 6th, cause Boo-Hoo, he lost to Biden (not Obama, which his rascist pea brain keeps forgetting).
Thank you, Nightmaher, for your kindness. The whole thing was a nightmare of epic proportions. As one example, someone said they had her fingerbone on his keychain. The detectives did locate him and allegedly interviewed him. But they didn't get the bones back and when I requested they do so immediately, they claimed they no longer knew where he was.
I do a great deal of writing and am an artist as well. Without being able to use these skills, that took some time to regain, I would have been truly lost.
My personal experience really opened my eyes to so much. I never thought of her as "mixed-race"; she was just my beautiful daughter. But I learned that she wasnt blonde and from a wealthy family, so go pound sand.
Thank you for your empathy. I suspect there are many unsolved killings and disappearances due to racism and a general who gives a fuck attitude within law enforcement agencies.
What a horrible thing to go through Lucinda. It was bad enough to lose your lovely daughter, without being treated so cruelly. You have my sympathy for your loss.
I too am so sorry for the nightmare you and your family have endured. It's just so awful. Nothing I can say changes that but I couldn't keep going without saying this. I really mean it. Also I had no idea that orange fool was invited by the family. That's stunning.
Thank you for your compassion. She is still missed every single day. Hundred of thousands of family members who experience this daily sorrow. I wish society really protected them. They are the future, lost.
On another site this morning some people who live in a MAGA part of Pennsylvania said all the Trump signs are old, tattered and falling apart and nothing new being replaced. And there are far fewer of them. Wonder if they're tapped out paying his legal bills.
So Brian Pritchard is fined for voting multiple times and a black woman was sentenced to many years in prison for voting while on parole, an honest mistake.
Hi Jeff, I see today that Lara Trump the songstress has released a new tune “Anything is Possible” as a B side to her hit “I won’t back down”… So now I’ve got both recordings, my gold Trump tennis shoes and my new Bible Donald is pushing… I’m ready for anything this weekend… I know most on this site will be jealous about my blow up doll singing modern tunes that the kids will love… ain’t this a great country!😳😳😳 Have a great weekend fellow travelers…
Headline from the online WaPo: "Trump attends wake of slain New York officer, calls for 'law and order,' to show contrast with Biden." Biden's people need to step up their flaccid game and discredit this kind of bullshit. IMO, use that huge war chest to take out full page ads discrediting these misrepresentations by simply stating where he stands on these issues. If the WaPo and/or NYT won't run the ads, there's plenty of papers that will.
Agree, Ken. I had the same thought about immediate response ads. Like when I read that magat repugs were howling because they didn’t want 60 million sent to Baltimore for the bridge. Biden’s team could have immediately blasted the Baltimore media to set the record straight. (It did pass despite the greedy magats).
Yeah ... what's going on with those people!? I just don't get it. We need to hit back hard everytime. And if the Sun won't publish the rebuttal, there's other papers that will. Let the Sun miss out on a couple of scoops and I bet you they'll change their tune.
Using a death to attempt a political statement is creepy enough but yeah, tough on crime from the king of crimes is rich indeed. Satisfaction is derived by his having to stoop so low during one of Biden’s shining moments with real former and popular presidents and stars at Radio City. You just know he’s seething and foaming from his anus mouth.
Trump's spokesperson is the one who said the parents of the officer requested Trump's presence. I wonder if it was really the other way around. Trump saw an opportunity to grab some screen time while Biden was touting his fundraiser. Maybe he offered out of the goodness of his heart, to make a guest appearance at the slain officer's wake. I'm sure it was a given that there would be press present. Trump's attempt to portray grief and empathy was ludicrous. The slain officer deserved respect, not a "subdued" Trump presser.
Oh, no, Biden is out there glad handing, shoulder bumping, smiling, everybody's smiling, comforting people, pledging to build back collapsed bridges, I must go to the policeman's funeral because it's convenient anyway because I'm in town. And fuck all those people who hurt my insurrectionists I want to pardon. They were there FOR ME, WONDERFUL ME. Those police were trying to hurt MY PEOPLE. LET MY PEOPLE GO. And why is it it's always a Republican who gets caught in undeniable voter fraud of one sort or another. That idiot wasn't even supposed to get to vote even once not having finished parole. Nice people those Republicans. Straight arrows.
I will admit I am not a fan of police. Just Wednesday while walking on the sidewalk 2 Colorado officers shouted “fucking tranny” at me and drove away laughing.

My thoughts are with you Amber, no one should be treated this way. I agree with your comment 100%.
Thank you for the kind words. It’s a disgrace that the nation I served honorably has filled me with so much anger in 38 years of life, I’d just as rather leave the country and never return just give me a passport.

Was living in LA when the Rodney King beating happened. Horrific. LAPD will never escape that taint.
Best wishes to you.

The majority of police officers were Americans long before they became cops ,they’ll do the right thing!
I’m sorry! And you’re right. The ones who want to protect and serve need to stand up.
Exactly!

I think it is exactly that narcissism that His cultist followers like: Daddy love me, look what I do for you, buy, donate, etc..
The abused child syndrome. An abused child will always run to its abuser.
Wow
It's not what you'd believe.
I was speechless because I flashed on a horse running back into the burning barn. The place you know, the one sure thing even on fire :-(
Perfect TV ad for the Biden campaign: alternating clips of Cheetohead yammering on about loving police with clips of the police getting attacked by the MAGAts at the Capitol. People need to SEE this hypocritical bullshit!
Absolutely, Biden should show this injustice to voters in his campaign!!
Ummm YES! Talk about an easy ad to win votes and share on tik tok!
Damn right.👍👍
Trump is such a shit stain. I ....oh fucking never mind.
I'm sooooo tired. #NeverMind should become a popular hashtag...
Well said! Especially the second part.

Lucinda I’m so sorry for your loss. Please accept my true sympathy, and thank you for sharing your truth of such a painful experience.
Thank you, Nightmaher, for your kindness. The whole thing was a nightmare of epic proportions. As one example, someone said they had her fingerbone on his keychain.

I do a great deal of writing and am an artist as well. Without being able to use these skills, that took some time to regain, I would have been truly lost.
That’s heartbreaking and shocking but not a surprise. Enraged on both your behalf’s. Such bastards everywhere 🔥
My personal experience really opened my eyes to so much. I never thought of her as "mixed-race"; she was just my beautiful daughter. But I learned that she wasnt blonde and from a wealthy family, so go pound sand.
Wow, im so sorry.
Thank you for your empathy. I suspect there are many unsolved killings and disappearances due to racism and a general who gives a fuck attitude within law enforcement agencies.
I agree and it’s a damn shame. I hope you are blessed by her memory (but would rather have her, I know).
I am so sorry Lucinda.
Thank you. Whoever killed her took away so much. Sadly, this is true for so many families.
What a horrible thing to go through Lucinda. It was bad enough to lose your lovely daughter, without being treated so cruelly. You have my sympathy for your loss.

Thank you for your compassion. She is still missed every single day. Hundred of thousands of family members who experience this daily sorrow. I wish society really protected them. They are the future, lost.
These hypocrites are so transparent in their racism and bullshit. Everyone needs to share this everywhere!! Way to go calling them out Jeff! 💙✌️
On another site this morning some people who live in a MAGA part of Pennsylvania said all the Trump signs are old, tattered and falling apart and nothing new being replaced. And there are far fewer of them. Wonder if they're tapped out paying his legal bills.
They probably realized eating cat food isn’t going to give them the 9 lives that they’ll need to survive a Trump dictatorship!
“Old, tattered and falling apart”—sounds like the Dumpster himself.
Pennsyltucky. 😂 Good question...
So Brian Pritchard is fined for voting multiple times and a black woman was sentenced to many years in prison for voting while on parole, an honest mistake.
What a sad ,sick commentary on the state of the unequal justice system!
Well, he IS a pudgy, white Southern good ol' boy, so....... (they'll always get a pass in the South)
Super pasty country fried blotchy boy
Finally they pulled all her charges but look what they did to her without a bit of concern

Tom Petty is rolling over in his grave.
😂😂
I said EXACTLY this yesterday you must have telepathy
I said this fuck is the master scammer preying off of people's grief anx patriotism
I bet he brought a shit ton of those fake ass bibles
He is so shitty he insults shit
The pages stick together. Must have been made by the same people who made his ties, bobble heads and sneakers. Temu has them for around $20.
'Woke' means I'm part of the 81 million voters who reject the steaming pile of shit the MAGAs are trying to sell to the dumbfuck cult.

Oh, he's apoplectic!!😂😂😂
Just how I like dicktators 😂
Our fungus runneth over
😂😂😂
If I get more outraged I may catch fire.
Turn your Outrage into action. Take a page out of the republicans playbook
Do what my Republican clients did in 2016
The hate for Hillary Clinton was so great, almost pathological, they wheel chaired ninety two year old grandpa's and told them to vote Trump
Oh, no, Biden is out there glad handing, shoulder bumping, smiling, everybody's smiling, comforting people, pledging to build back collapsed bridges, I must go to the policeman's funeral because it's convenient anyway because I'm in town. And fuck all those people who hurt my insurrectionists I want to pardon. They were there FOR ME, WONDERFUL ME. Those police were trying to hurt MY PEOPLE. LET MY PEOPLE GO.
