The Dallas Cop Killings Shows Us the Worst of Americans

Following the Dallas Police killings, a City Council Woman, Reinette Senum, from Nevada City, California posted this on Facebook:
 "This was completely incited by America's police force. They have obviously been given directives to go out there and kill."
So, basically, you have a public official claiming that the 5 Dallas cops deserved to die.  And, worse, she is saying that all cops have been given orders to kill.

If this was only one person's twisted viewpoint, then, we could afford to ignore it.  But, unfortunately, a lot of people who align themselves with Black Lives Matter believe this to be true.  Last year, at several of their protest marches, supporters chanted "Pigs In A Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon".  Another chant was "What do we want.  Dead cops. When do we want em? Now." On Twitter, another posted this "“Y’all pigs got what was coming for y’all.”  And, it goes on and on.

The fact is that Black Lives Matter, and other groups have openly called for the killing of police officers; and Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch still refer to their demonstrations as "peaceful protests".

Lastly, as to the comment by Senum that cops have been given orders to kill.  Every year, police in this country make approximately 9 million arrests of which 2.5 million are blacks.  Yet, last year, just 40 unarmed blacks were shot and killed.  If cops were given orders to kill, they sure are doing a poor job of it.  Maybe, Obama and Lynch would best serve this nation by publicly stating these facts and supporting the police, instead of depicting Black Lives Matter as being peaceful and deserving of our "respect".
