EVERYBODY HATES COPS. BUT, DO THEY REALLY? DON'T BELIEVE IT!

Everybody hates cops. But, do they really? Don’t believe it!
By: Kirk Lawless

The “mainstream “ media wants folks to believe that everybody hates cops. It’s great for ratings. Anti-cop headlines pull readers in. Violence, when police are part of it, ignites small fires usually. Occasionally, it’s a big fire and that keeps the media busy and they jump on the stories like hyenas on dead meat.

The liberal left wants cops gone.  They encourage the media to give face-time to educators who spew their bile about wanting cops dead and talk about how easy it would be to do it.  Obviously they wouldn’t dare do it themselves, but they would certainly like to bend the mind of an easily influenced follower to carry out their wishes. There are some in this country who want complete anarchy.  Be careful what you wish for!

Then you have the race-baiters. Every police action, according to them, is based on race and these folks can smell a microphone or a television camera from a mile away for a chance to beat that dead horse. 

“Hands up don’t shoot!” is bullshit and based on a lie.  It was spawned in my part of the country.  “Black Lives Matter” similarly is based on its own racist roots tied to the Black Liberation Army and the Black Panther Party (the original or the new one, take your pick).

I find it laughable (although it’s not funny) when they interview one of these clowns and they appear on camera wearing a T-shirt bearing the likeness of Wesley Cook (Mumia Abu-Jamal) noted as a political activist and journalist, when he is nothing more than a racist cop murderer, the killer of Officer Danny Faulkner. 

I’ve seen celebrities wearing shirts plastered with the picture of Joanne Chesimard (Assata Shakur) another BLA member and convicted cop murderer, who took part in the murder of Trooper Werner Foerster.  Convicted and sentenced to life, she escaped and fled to Cuba and was granted asylum.  When former President, Barrack Obama went to Cuba, the first thing he should have demanded was the immediate surrender of Chesimard to the United States, but I believe he falls into the category of cop hater (or at the very least, he uses us as political pawns as it fit his agenda), so that didn’t happen.

It wasn’t accidental that the photograph of Obama printed in the papers was taken in front of a building bearing the image of Che Guevara (whose face can be seen on T-shirts worn by students of every flavor on liberal campuses across the country… and most have no idea about him and his history).

Mayor De Blasio recently appeared during a photo-op shaking hands with some nameless man sporting garb with one of the aforementioned shit-birds on it (I can’t remember whose image was on it), again not accidental.  These folks aren’t stupid. Such a simple act can be a deliberate slap in the face to law enforcement.

Political candidates talk about police reform and demonize the job, and portray us as the enemy, as wanton killers, and throw us under the bus at every opportunity. Elizabeth Warren tweeted that Michael Brown was murdered by Officer Darren Wilson (I would love to meet with her in person to discuss that misguided tweet!) 

The very notion that we (the police) are dropping bodies with the frequency they suggest, if true, would have the streets of The United States of America lined with bodies, stacked like cordwood. A lot of folks ignore the statistics.

I’ll lay it down in simple numbers about the “killer-cops” out there, and I invite you to do your own research and you’ll find that what I’m saying completely destroys the left and their anti-cop agenda.

There are roughly 327 million people in the United States. In 2018, there were approximately 865,000 law enforcement officers in the United States (for matters of simplicity let’s round that number up to 1 million people).  The average number of people killed by the police each year usually hovers around the 1,000 mark. Keeping those figures in mind, .001 percent of the police officers have taken a life in the line of duty (the real percentage is closer to .0008).

So my question to the folks who purport that the police are willy-nilly murdering folks every damned day is, “Where are all the bodies?” 

This is the agenda the anti-police entities are pounding into the “empty” heads.  They want the people to hate us. The police-hating media needs the people to hate us.  The police-hating politicians need the people to hate us.  The police haters need future generations of police haters to join their ranks. They want their lies perpetuated.  It fits their agenda.

Here’s the deal:  There are some people who hate the police.  There always will be.  The criminals hate the police. We are a necessary evil.

Are we living in a communist nation where the media spoon-feeds us only the information they want to us to have, hoping a majority of folks might buy into that thinking?

Guess what?  The majority of folks don’t hate us.  Some people don’t even have an opinion of us (until they need us).  Get out there on the pro-police pages and Twitter feeds and check them out. The majority of folks actually love us!  Right now, there is plenty of negativity about us in the mainstream media.  That’s not our concern.  

Look at the outpouring of support when one of us taken away by the angels. Cop-hating agitators do not attend the large police funerals (they know better). The citizens are not faking their love for us while watching the funeral cortege while teary-eyed and waving the American flag!  

You can watch CNN and listen to some brainwashed morons and then switch to FOX News and see the polar opposite.

Nearly every day, on the hundreds of pro-police Facebook pages I subscribe to, there are stories (and videos) of citizens risking their personal safety by coming to the aid of local police officers.  Look at the lines of civilians who stand in front of police lines as a buffer between agitators. The men standing between mayhem and police know the police are limited in what they can do because the “eyes of the world” are on them.  The men holding the line do not have rules of engagement to follow, and notice how few times the agitators try to break that line to get to the police.  It doesn’t happen, because the everyday working class law-abiding citizens are sick and tired of the bullshit and they will go into harm’s way to protect cops and they will commit harm if necessary to protect us and the anti-police agitators know it (and P.S. the good citizens aren’t wearing body cameras)

So when you gear up to hit the streets for your next shift, you need to know that there are many people who support you, love you, and some who will protect you if you are under attack. Bet on it!
