\u201cHe was an amazing man.\u00a0 He was the best father and husband and friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is how a friend described Rafael Ramos, one of the two NYPD officers who was ambushed and murdered by Eric Garner and Michael Brown supporter, Ismaiiyl Brinsley.<\/p>\n
Ramos was sitting in a patrol car with his partner, Wenjian Liu, when Brinsley snuck up and blasted both in their heads.\u00a0 The double-murder was premeditated: Hours earlier, Brinsley made the following announcement on Instagram: \u201cI\u2019m putting wings on pigs today.\u00a0 They take 1 of ours, let\u2019s take 2 of theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards, the cop-killer turned the gun on himself.\u00a0 Unfortunately, though, his miserable existence ended too late, as his victims were already gone.<\/p>\n
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton summed up the grisly event: \u201cThey were, quite simply, assassinated\u2014targeted for their uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ramos was a married man with two children, a 13 year-old and a child in college. He was an active member of his church and spent his spare time counseling married couples.\u00a0 Not long ago, Ramos\u2014who joined the force in 2012\u2014was a school safety officer.<\/p>\n
Officer Liu had been on the force for seven years and had gotten married but two months ago.<\/p>\n
At Christmas, two good men, community and family men who, for pay a fraction of that of the Al Sharptons, Barack Obamas, and Eric Holders of the world, regularly risked their lives by entering America\u2019s war-zones\u2014like the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood where they were slain\u2014have been taken by one of the hordes of demons who very recently were calling for \u201cdead cops\u201d in the streets of New York.<\/p>\n
Their families and communities, their children, have been devastated.<\/p>\n
Yet it isn\u2019t just <\/em>on the hands of Brinsley that their blood is to be found.<\/p>\n The same media that for decades <\/em>has labored tirelessly to promote a fiction of perpetual white oppression and black victimhood and that, most recently, elevated thugs Michael Brown and Eric Garner to the stature of heroes\u2014whether sacrificial lambs or freedom fighters\u2014are implicated in the murder of these two police officers.<\/p>\n Like Pontius Pilate who deluded himself into thinking that he could \u201cwash his hands\u201d of his part in Jesus\u2019 death, so too do Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Bill DiBlasio, and every other politician, \u201ccivil rights activist,\u201d and commentator <\/em>who did their part to fuel the inferno of anti-police rhetoric think that they <\/em>can now wash their<\/em> hands of their responsibility for the murders of Officers Ramos and Liu.<\/p>\n They lie.<\/p>\n Obama is especially contemptible, for he could\u2019ve been using his unique position to demand\u2014repeatedly, loudly, unequivocally demand\u2014that the hordes of black rioters and thugs in streets in cities around the country renounce all violence or else.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n He didn\u2019t even come close to doing anything at all like this.\u00a0 Far from it: Like the good (or bad) \u201ccommunity organizer\u201d that he has always been, Obama exacerbated <\/em>racial tensions by reinforcing the patent nonsense that white \u201cracism\u201d remains alive and well and police prey on blacks.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a lie and Obama\u2014among the most privileged human beings to have ever walked the planet\u2014knows it. <\/em><\/p>\n Neither Obama nor any of the pro-Brown\/Garner crowd in Washington, academia, or the media ever once decried the criminals\u2014not \u201cdemonstrators\u201d or \u201cprotestors,\u201d but criminals\u2014<\/em>who targeted the property and person of innocents with bloodthirsty violence.\u00a0 Never did they denounce the legions of thugs shouting for the blood of \u201ccops.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, <\/em>however, Brinsley\u2019s accomplices and enablers are waxing indignant over his murderous violence.\u00a0 All too predictably, the media are trying to depict Brinsley as a \u201cmentally ill\u201d person with a \u201ctroubled\u201d past, an anomaly.<\/p>\n But the (thankfully) late Ismaiiyl Brinsley was no more or less ill or troubled than the Brinsleys in the precincts of politics, academia, and the media who encouraged him. The only difference between the former and the latter is that while those who regard police as \u201cracists\u201d or \u201carmed enforcers\u201d of \u201cthe State\u201d talk the talk, Brinsley actually walked the walk.<\/p>\n And two good men are now gone and their families devastated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cHe was an amazing man.\u00a0 He was the best father and husband and friend.\u201d This is how a friend described Rafael Ramos, one of the two NYPD officers who was ambushed and murdered by Eric Garner and Michael Brown supporter, Ismaiiyl Brinsley.
