Go figure.

[awake]

1. "Trump support kills cops" needs to go virile

This will change the M$M coverage with a bit of help from facebook and twitter

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Viral. Nothing virile about this asshole.

[awake]

6. Not the asshole the point that a Trump supporter kills cops

People need to see the real harm thet Trump and his supporters are causing.

[writes3000]

10. Virile and viral mean two very different things. That was the point made by the first response

To you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. True. But "virile" is the wrong word. The right word is "viral."

[awake]

18. Sorry for my phones auto correct spelling

But you get the point that we need to push this story that this is the real danger with Trump.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Autocorrect is a plague on the universe.

Had I been using it, I probably would have written about a plaque on the universe. But I definitely agree that this is one of many dangers of Trump.

35. "Make America Hate Again"

Mission accomplished on that one.

[SaschaHM]

5. Had that been a Clinton/Kaine sign, the media would have called for her to be prosecuted. nt.

9. Exactly.. they'd be dragging Hillary's name through the slime..

as it is.. he's apparently a trump supporter with a lawn sign yet.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Double standard

Not that Trump should answer for every wacko supporter of his, but remember the huge deal they made of the fire bombing of the GOP VA campaign head quarters?

Trump needs to address this. Unfortunately, his rhetoric encourages this.

11. This guy made a great point on Twitter:

Scott Wooledge
?@Clarknt67
Has any politician had the courage to say "Radical White Supremacy" yet about Scott Michael Greene?

https://twitter.com/Clarknt67/status/793817341268267008

hi Cha!

[Cha]

24. It is a good point.. or any pundit?

This idiot was pissed at the cops who made him take his Confederate flag down so he goes out to murder cops randomly.

So sad. Thank you, sarae

19. wow and horrifying / Make an OP if it hasn't already been one

if you can .

[Thrill]

14. Trump supporter kills 2 cops

[Snarkoleptic]

17. His actions are a sad and predictable outcome of "The Trump Effect".

When ignorant, bigoted folks act out, claiming unfair treatment after hearing Trump's drum beat of intolerance and fascism.

Youth dramatized version--

[Democat]

20. Trump should end his campaign today

What a shame that he has promoted hatred and violence.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. He'll be ending it next Tuesday.

[nolabear]

21. Fanatics believe they have the right to commit violence "in the name of the cause."

Trump is giving people a kind of emotional refuge for horrible acts, making them seem sacred within the context of his truly mad cult.

[Blue_Roses]

37. Well said!

And so true!

[You will Atone]

26. And I assume he was killed by the police and not apprehended?

Wait, was he or is he white?

That will probably answer my question for me.

[geek tragedy]

27. Welcome to DU!. And yes, white, so captured without incident nt

[whatthehey]

28. Oh Christ this again

So what color were recent cop killers Jamaal Lewis, John Felix and Royheem Deeds, all captured without being shot on sight?

It is possible to acknowledge that cops are more likely to shoot minorities without pretending all minority suspects are shot and no white ones are.

[geek tragedy]

29. just observing the rules: white cop killer less likely to be shot than black child with a toy gun nt

[whatthehey]

32. Less likely, sure. But this faux-wise assumption that it's specifically predictive is childish crap

[LanternWaste]

33. It's also possible to acknowledge statistical probabilities..

"It is possible to acknowledge that cops are more likely to shoot..."
It's also possible to acknowledge statistical probabilities... even the one which may not fit your narrative.

"pretending all minority suspects are shot and no white ones are..."
Your inference someone is pretending as such is bemusing. Inaccurate of course, but very bemusing.

[amuse bouche]

30. Horrific

[dbackjon]

31. Sickening

[ck4829]

34. I wonder if his plan was to get away without being ID'd and be a 'witness' who would blame it on BLM

With his previous actions, it's a possibility.

This sack of waste had to murder two police officers whatever terrorist agenda he had planned, though, so whatever the motive, he'll spend the rest of his days behind bars.

[anneboleyn]

36. CNN dropped the story when it was revealed that he is white and a Trumper. IF HE HAD BEEN BLM

CNN and Fox would be mentioning it all night.

[Cha]

38. That's right! But, Twitter has it from Shaun King @ least..
