George W. Bush Says Something Appalling In Response To Dallas Shooting

George W. and Laura Bush live in Dallas and thus have a close, personal connection to the horrific attacks that occurred last night which left five law enforcement officers dead and seven others wounded.

Bush released a statement this morning which, at first glance, looks pretty standard and innocuous. The former President and First Lady are “heartbroken by the heinous acts of violence. They “have seen firsthand the dedication, professionalism, and courage of the Dallas Police Department,” and of course they “pray for the wounded officers to recover fully and quickly.”

But here’s the phrase that caught my eye:
Murdering the innocent is always evil, never more so than when the lives taken belong to those who protect our families and communities.

In other words, “police lives matter more.”

1. In order to be offende by that first you have to value bush's opinion. I don't.

Fuck him and his ugly mother.

[gopiscrap]

2. Fuck Bush

[GReedDiamond]

3. Murdering the innocent is something...

...Dim Son should know a whole lot about.

[Hoyt]

4. There's a lot to criticize with anything george war bush says, but that doesn't really bother me

considering context and his inability to put more than three words together, even when sober. But I get what you are saying.

[Captain Stern]

5. Slow outrage day? It's actually not.

There's plenty more stuff to be upset about today than anything Bush said. And there's plenty more that Bush said or did that's more upsetting than this.

This registers a .00000000001 on my 1 to 10 "give a shit" meter.

6. The man is responsible for the deaths of millions in Iraq, he can go pound sand for all I care.

Bush and Trump have a lot in common.

[Lint Head]

7. Bush is for the POWERFUL. Fuck that piece os excrement.

[Initech]

9. Pray for forgiveness... that's the only solution they offer.

[TeddyR]

10. I'm not seeing the reason for outrage

He's not stating "police lives matter more," unless I'm missing something.

[Thinkingabout]

11. I am not fond of Bush but did not see "police lives matter more".

[AntiBank]

14. never more so than when the lives taken belong to those who protect our families and communities

[Logical]

21. "Never more so" confusing to you? Nt

[PragmaticLiberal]

18. Yeah, I don't see it either.

[Logical]

22. "Never more so" confusing to you? Nt

[Warpy]

12. So he's a jerk, not like that's much of a surprise.

That's how rich men think, the cops are there to protect them, not us.

They think we're fair game. All of us. To matter to them, we'd have to be rich.

[scscholar]

13. Disgusting

Just because someone makes money by representing the people that rule over us, doesn't make them more important.

[malaise]

15. How many Iraqi police and others who protected families

and communities - how many fucking doctors, nurses, teachers, etc. Fuck you war criminal.

[COLGATE4]

16. Misplaced outrage. nt

[roamer65]

17. He's a war criminal.

Enuff said.

[griloco]

19. I see him as more of a dupe

First by Cheney in his VP search, then by all George the First's leftover neocons who were distraught over not taking out Saddam in Iraq War 1.

Much like Truman got sucked into supporting the French in Indochina and Eisenhower got sucked into overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the Shah.

20. "Now watch this drive."

No one believes your BS any more Dumbya.

[jakeXT]

23. Wasn't the suspect an Afghanistan Vet, a war started by Bush ? /nt

[Kennah]

24. Police lives do matter more, under our legal system n/t

[PlanetaryOrbit]

25. Of all the Bush statements to be outraged by, this isn't it.

Really, this is a mild, tame statement. This is really reaching for offense here.

[L. Coyote]

26. "Murdering the innocent is always evil," especially when you drop bombs on them in an illegal war.

From the lips of the man who would know best about the evils of murdering innocents.

[arely staircase]

27. He was pointing out the cruel irony of it.

Being killed by a cop while doing nothing wrong is also ironic. But he wasnt responding to that.

Lots of reasons to despise Bush. This seems rather nitpicky.
