Racist Harry Houck (NYPD) & John Meacham: "A tiny fraction are protestors AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED"

Racist "law-and-order" skinhead retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck, CNN contributor, on the day of the police shooting, said:

"These people are encouraging violence against the police... responsible for what happened and they do have blood on their hands. The vast majority of New Yorkers support the police. You have a fraction of a percent of people turning out for the protests and they must be stopped."

He was referring to ALL the protestors, BTW.

John Meacham, contributing editor of Time Magazine this morning on TV said:

"There is a silent majority out there, and they support law and order, and I think you will see them come out and defend the police. We have to get back to the late 1980s when order was restored to the streets of New York, but not under this leadership."

More from Harry Houck: NYPD Harry Houck: "No amount of talking can save you" - "He resisted arrest, that is why he is dead"

Indicted former police commissioner and post-911 stooge of Giuliani, Bernard Kerik on CNN right now: "There is a lie about the police in this country, that cops are racist and targeting minorities, its BS and it's not true."

"Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton gets his power from this. (All this controversy...) It's being promoted by Al Sharpton, Mayor DeBlasio and others" -- Bernie Kerik right now.

"I don't care what color you are. You teach your kids to respect authority. You teach them to say yes sir, no sir. You don't throw a cell phone up in their face" -- Kerik, again

"New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said today that he does not believe the Mayor Bill de Blasio needs to apologize in the wake of the killings of two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers on Saturday, adding that he has not seen this much tension against the police since he first joined the force in 1970."

not that I'm a fan of Bratton.

and I guess he had to say it, since he is on the Mayor's team so to speak.

Guys like Kerik and Harry Houck (and apparent Reaganites like the Time Magazine columnist Meacham) scare me.

Hi Ellenrr. I thought I scared you off.

Still working on my project that I've been trying to pull together since who knows when.

I may be making some progress at getting new space for a community project.

... he has not seen ...

... they don't get it ...

... they haven't seen it ...

... none of these people were trying to see it ...

... and, because of their willful ignorance of the problems that have existed in this country for centuries ...

... here we are ...

... crooked politics practices by crooked people who ignore (more ignorance) the will of The People ...

"Obviously, there's a lot of emotion involved when two police officers are killed," Kelly told ABC News during an appearance on the network on Sunday. "When the mayor made statements about how they had to train his son, who is biracial, to be careful when he's dealing with the police, I think that set off this latest firestorm."

BULL- what the mayor told his son is what practically every Black person in America tells their child. It's an attempt to make sure they grow up, and not be shot down in the prime of life.

and the always lovely former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani placed some of the blame for anti-police sentiments on the president. Appearing on Fox News, Giuliani accused Obama of disseminating "propaganda" inciting people to "hate the police."

crap

5. Kerik: former police
Tue Dec 23, 2014, 09:06 AM
Dec 2014

Former Commissioner of Police and of Correction Dept. in NYC.

NOT law abiding:
In 2006 Kerik pleaded guilty to two ethics violations after an investigation by the Office of the Bronx District Attorney and was ordered to pay $221,000.

In 2009 Kerik pleaded guilty] before U.S. federal prosecutors to 8 charges including criminal conspiracy, tax fraud, and lying under oath.
The oath lying had to do with him making false statements to the White House (in his background information statement regarding his Department of Homeland Security appointment) and other federal officials.
Kerik was sentenced to four years in federal prison on February 18, 2010

He actually served only 6 months.

Apparently feeling he was now an expert on sentencing, he said mandatory minimum sentences are not benefiting society.
He authored a White Paper in 2011 that he sent to Attorney General Eric Holder, which outlines his personal observations of the U.S. criminal justice system that he said is in “dire need of repair.” The attorney general’s office has never acknowledged receipt of the white paper nor commented on this alleged submission.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Kerik#Investigation.2C_federal_indictment.2C_imprisonment.2C_and_release

So, a felon for life, is our man Kerik. He needs to be called out for his bullshit.
