Protesters demand police commissioner apologize for asking if officers who are shot will get marches too

Posted at 6:50 pm on December 15, 2014

A three-year veteran of the Baltimore Police Department (and volunteer fireman) was shot Sunday night in West Baltimore during a traffic stop. To all who believe that police should use Tasers instead of guns, they did; unfortunately, 19-year-old suspect Donte Jones didn’t hesitate to use his gun against Officer Andrew Groman.

Police Commisioner Batts is blakk


19 yr old thug, Donte Jones, with a rap sheet as long as your arm is blakk and was on probation for other violent crimes.

Andrew Groman, 27, 3-year police veteran who took a bullet to the abdomen was white.

This is comparing apples to oranges. My guess is that there is no question that Donte Jones (the alleged shooter) will be indicted for this attempted murder.

Now if Donte Jone's actions were caught on video and then he was not even indicted to stand trial in the murder of another human being then I would say there was a problem that may deserve a protest.

I would hope so...

Should Accused Gunman Have Been On The Streets?

Point taken...

False Equivalency ......
In fact it might due to police killing of suspect under controversial circumstance and the unwillingness of the Justice System to offer a way out why a man/woman with a gum might take the extra-ordinary step to point a gun at the police and pull the trigger!

The way to honor those who defend our liberties with their lives — as did my father and grandfather — is not to curtail liberty, but to exercise it fully in pursuit of a just and peaceful society

According to Ecclesiastes, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose.” For me, today, that means a time to seek justice and a time to mourn the dead.
And a time to shut the hell up.


The recent brutal murder of two Brooklyn police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, is a national tragedy that should inspire nationwide mourning. Both my grandfather and father were police officers, so I appreciate what a difficult and dangerous profession law enforcement is. We need to value and celebrate the many officers dedicated to protecting the public and nourishing our justice system. It’s a job most of us don’t have the courage to do.

At the same time, however, we need to understand that their deaths are in no way related to the massive protests against systemic abuses of the justice system as symbolized by the recent deaths—also national tragedies—of Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, and Michael Brown. Ismaaiyl Brinsley, the suicidal killer, wasn’t an impassioned activist expressing political frustration, he was a troubled man who had shot his girlfriend earlier that same day. He even Instagrammed warnings of his violent intentions. None of this is the behavior of a sane man or rational activist. The protests are no more to blame for his actions than The Catcher in the Rye was for the murder of John Lennon or the movie Taxi Driver for the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. Crazy has its own twisted logic and it is in no way related to the rational cause-and-effect world the rest of us attempt to create.
Those who are trying to connect the murders of the officers with the thousands of articulate and peaceful protestors across America are being deliberately misleading in a cynical and selfish effort to turn public sentiment against the protestors. This is the same strategy used when trying to lump in the violence and looting with the legitimate protestors, who have disavowed that behavior. They hope to misdirect public attention and emotion in order to stop the protests and the progressive changes that have already resulted. Shaming and blaming is a lot easier than addressing legitimate claims.

What I want to know is how this mad man with a record of gun violence has access to guns.

Police officers who die in the line of duty, regularly get a parade.

Exactly. Not only that they regularly get Justice. They have the, Courts, Prosecution, Investigators, Fraternal Organizations, always at the ready to stand up for them.

Demonstrations are about Justice (lack thereof), not simply the killing of a human being by another human being.
