WHERE WERE THE PICTURES OF COPS KILLED BY BLACK MEN?

During the four-hour hearing on Police Oversight, the House Judiciary Committee flashed photos of Eric Garner and other black men killed by police – including Michael Brown who was killed in Ferguson, Missouri — on screens around the hearing room

I had lunch Saturday with an old friend of mine who is a retired state police officer. During the luncheon I mentioned that recently Al Sharpton and Eric Garner’s mother appeared before a meeting on Police Oversight that was held by the House Judiciary Committee which is chaired by NY Congressman Jerry Nadler.

When I told my friend that during the four-hour hearing, photos of Garner and other black men killed by police – including Michael Brown who had robbed a convenience store clerk in Ferguson, Missouri — flashed on screens around the hearing room, he got really pissed off.

Where were the pictures of cops killed by black men? he growled at me.

A good question!

I don’t blame my friend for being pissed off. By flashing pictures of criminals like Garner and Brown throughout the hearing room, Nadler, Sheila Jackson Lee and the other Democrats on the committee showed they favored criminals over cops that were just trying to do their jobs.
