why is anything that the "Esteemed" Mr. Rivera say or states worthy of note?

Does he have a right to his opinion, Yes.

Do I have to bother with him or what he says, No.

This is what Geraldo and his racist conservative cohorts are putting out there.

It's truly despicable.

They have to be called out on it, every last one of them.

Any peaceful protesting momentum we had will take 5 steps backward...they will use this domestic origin shooting to inflame the public as a cop execution conducted by a protestor. No lesson will be learned...protestors will be met with increased force now.

Masters of opportunist hijacking.

they are trying to quell the protests against police brutality

they are exploiting a tragedy to stop a movement to protect the rights and lives of African-Americans

seeking Justice for #Eric Garner and #Michael Brown.

... and they are trying to taint the movement

They want to make the face of the person who murdered the officers the face of the entire movement. And we can't let that happen. We must mourn the deaths of the officers, condemn their murders, but continue the fight for civil rights.

Occupy Wallstreet.
Fox blamed Obama and DeBlasio for this all night.

1. Nothing like a couple of cops getting killed to crush dissent against police. Did it ever cross your mind that the alleged killer didn't do it and that it was a hit organized by parties wanting to create sympathy for the police and create a demand for "law and order"?

2. "movement to protect the rights and lives of African-Americans..."

Uh, screw all of the innocent other races (Hispanic, white, Indian, Asian, etc) killed by cops in this country, eh? Is this about race for you or the police state? More innocent people have been killed by cops in the past decade than all of the US troops killed in Iraq. Don't even get me started on the thousands of dogs. We live in a Nazi police state and making it only about race (black Americans) is racist and indicates everyone else murdered, beaten and molested by these monsters don't matter.

along with minorities. Cops are trigger-happy with them, too. RW thugs think they should be warehoused away from everyone, including their families. The lack of compassion is astounding.

Kelly Thomas (white) was schizophrenic. John Williams (Native American) was either deaf or very hard of hearing. Thousand more, I'm sure.

It is racism, racism towards people of color mostly, and African Americans are the most visible people of color. Not being argumentative, just stating the obvious.

Rogue cops seem to be really trigger happy when it comes to African American men especially — it's a shoot first, don't even bother to ask questions later mentality.

And no one should dare question their actions either.

While racism is sometimes a factor, far more not black people are murdered by cops. It's a police state issue and We the People are the enemy. Not that color should matter, anyway. An innocent life taken by these thugs is what matters. Would you feel any better about our Nazi police state if all of their victims were white or Hispanic? No! We have to stick together as HUMAN BEINGS because we are all at risk.

but what do you mean by your title "Not True"?

I said I was stating the obvious that African American men are the most frequent victims of police brutality and killings. That is absolutely true, and racism is a huge part of it.

This is no new phenomenon to the black community. This has been going on for decades, if not centuries and is a direct legacy of slavery, patty rollers and the Dread Scott decision — "blacks have no rights which a white man is bound to respect" — from Emmett Till to Tamir Rice it continues.

I repeat, it's not new to the black community. We've been living in "occupied" neighborhoods for forever here.

The "police state" issue has come to the fore in recent years with the advent of security cameras and cell phone cameras everywhere recording police killings and brutality and the larger community is suddenly aware of it.

That is great!

I welcome that there is more awareness of it now and more people are joining the fight against the "police state", but trust me, it's not new at all to the black community.

What I think your point is is that black males are PROPORTIONALLY more likely to be victims of police brutality than white males. That is also true.

Basically, let's say the police hit 1 out of 10 black males and they hit 1 out of 30 white males. In that scenario, blacks would be 3 times as likely than whites to be hit.

However, let's say in a given population there are 20 black males and 90 while males. Statistically, 2 black males and 3 white males will be hit. Thus, more white males got hit.

It is like the food stamps meme. Whites make up the majority of food stamp recipients. Blacks are disproportionately reflected in the percentage of food stamp recipients. Law of large numbers ......

really?

do you also believe in all the Tea Party conspiracy theories?

the fight for justice must continue

he even got his nose broken in a melee

to carry their water and help further perpetuate the lies?

This hack peaked 40 years ago with Willowbrook. He hasn't done a damn bit of good since. Stick to raiding dead mobsters tombs moron.

Donald Trump's New Celebrity Apprentice Could Be Geraldo Rivera

when speaking about Bill O'Reilly:

Fuck that noise.

And they are continuing to fan the flames. This is little different than the Nazi dialogue heard in pre WWII Germany against the Jews.

for the deaths of the officers, claiming they created racial tension that led to the tragedy

They have no shame. It's disgusting.

to describe our contempt for the Fascists.

Nothing I said or did could lead to this obscenity.

Most of the vile rhetoric actually emanates from those who are actively involved in denying justice to innocent people (including children) gunned down by trigger-happy cops.

I agree this kind of crap is irresponsible at best and intentionally racist at worst

"lone wolf" gunman, it would have been cancelled.

..... you stupid fucking fool.

is the very definition of prejudice. Are all cops responsible for Darren Wilson's actions?

mourn the deaths of these officers, condemn their murders, and STILL continue to protest against police brutality

when we had the chance.

Hilarious.

The only person who takes Geraldo seriously now is Geraldo.

You notice that he hasn't been running around looking for Jimmy Hoffa's corpse.

I had to get away. I could feel my blood pressure surge.
One of them was (of course why am I surprised) implying that Obama's to blame.

created racial unrest that led to the deaths of the officers and are responsible for their murders.

I got too riled up.

Exploit, exploit, exploit.

Who gives a shit?

you just gave yourself away

Are the same as saying "Off The Pigs!"?

Hey, Geraldo, they'll continue protesting injustice!!!

"I strongly urge president to interrupt vacation to condemn killing of NYPD cops & state firmly with anger & resolve that this is intolerable."

https://twitter.com/geraldorivera/status/546428289829466112

Now every cop who did nothing while bad cops beat, tortured and murdered people has to ask themselves...did I contribute to the death of these officers? Protesting is not wrong...shooting unarmed dark skinned kids as in Ohio is wrong.

This is the American way, apparently, and is beyond stupid.

he's on Fox News.
