Police Union Spokesman Criticizes Beck's 'Inflammatory Speech'

[RamboLiberal]

The spokesman for a national law enforcement association criticized Glenn Beck for comments that a California man says helped inform his plans for a killing spree that resulted in injuries to several highway patrolmen.

Rich Roberts is public information officer for the International Union of Police Associations, which represents about 500 local police unions.

Noting it was his personal opinion, he said Beck "stirs people up and not in a good way. He is a source of problems. I have to watch Beck because I don't have a choice, I have to stay in touch with what is going on."

Roberts, whose group is based in Sarasota, Fla., made the comments following Media Matters' interview with alleged gunman Byron Williams, who was arrested July 19 in Oakland, Calif., after an incident in which several members of the California Highway Patrol were wounded.
