Obama: Police Officers are Terrorists
If I asked you to give me ten words you would use to describe a police officer in the United States, I’m pretty sure that “terrorist” wouldn’t make the list.
Then again, you’re not Barack Obama speaking in front of a racist separatist group who believes in abolishing the border between Mexico and the United States and funds school programs that teach that the southwest United States belongs to Mexicans .
When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn’t working, and we need to change it.
That’s mighty tough talk from a guy who folded like a cheap suit after a glancing blow from the powder puff New Yorker magazine.
The common read on this is that Obama was talking about ICE agents. No, he wasn’t. He was talking about ICE raids which, I know from professional experience, almost always includes state and/or local law enforcement officers. ICE relies heavily on local police infrastructure for help, which is why it has such a tough time working in Montgomery County. When he says that “ICE immigration raids” are “terrorizing” people, he’s talking about everyone involved in that raid. If you know a police officer, ask if they have ever helped out ICE on a raid. If the officer says yes, then congratulations, according to Barack Obama, you know a terrorist.
Ed Morrissey has a question that some intrepid reporter ought to ask him tomorrow, “…[I]f that’s what Obama thinks of ICE, why has he done nothing about them during the three years he’s been in the Senate?”
If he did that, he’d have to go toe to toe with Senators who have been there longer than it takes to get a pizza delivered. He’d actually have to dig in his heels and take a stand on something more than what it’ll take to get elected to the next highest office.
He wouldn’t be able to hide behind his friends and throw insults where no one could call him out on it right then and there.
When I was a kid, we had guys who used to do stuff just like that. There were all mouth when their friends were all around them. When it came for them to step up and talk trash face to face, one on one, they changed their tune. Then it was a “misunderstanding” or you must have heard them wrong. We had a word to describe guys like that.
That word was “punk”.
Let’s see if Barack Obama has the guts to stand in front of a police union gathering and call them terrorists.

Quite a flair for the dramatic…
Drama queen. Guys a fucking moron.
The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the – Web Reconnaissance for 07/15/2008 A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often.
[...] isn’t bad enough.) No, he’s referring to state and local law enforcement as well. The Sundries Shack explains: The common read on this is that Obama was talking about ICE agents. No, he wasn’t. He [...]
Well apparently it’s clear. If you’re a terrorist, Obama’s your man. He’ll soon be giving Iraq to you. If you’re in the US illegally, Obama’s your man, he’ll soon be giving America to you.
If you’re an American, Obama has something for you too. A hefty tax increase and four years of venomous race relations debate. So much to look forward to.
He also has something else for you. A kick in the butt to learn a new language, so you can communicate with the 12 million Illegal Aliens he’ll be providing blanket amnesty for.
Yeah, that’s CHANGE alright.
At least America is getting a glimpse of the wild eyed liberal he really is, instead of the phoney centrist persona his campaign has been painting him to be.

Not to dredge up on an old article, but way to twist the word terrorize for your own pathetic intentions. I mean, honestly. We call children a "holy terror" or say that bullies "terrorize" other children. I guess now you're going to tell me that by saying this we're calling our children terrorists.
Just goes to show, everyone will always find something about someone they do not like to twist as evidence of what a horrible person they are.
Hey, don't blame me. It's the President's word.
Guys, it's time to wake up and to realize there is a world around you where societies live a very helathy way of life and where police is a public servant and not an institution that criminalizes their own people. Bring down the police to what they are supposed to be: our friends and helpers not our dominators.
Nobody blames you, the president said the right thing. If a policeman is not capable conducting an investigation, look at the facts, draw reasonable conclusions and act within reasons he missed his profession. That guy should look for another job where he can play Rambo. There are many more of his kind out there and criminalizing our kids. Why do you think our prissons are overcrowded, becouse we are a society of born criminals. No, Sir it is becouse we have a corrupt and toataly overreacting police force, misusing their power.
I'm pretty sure you're talking about something completely different from what I posted. Could you look at my post again and read it this time, please?
Don't think so, just used another example to show how wrong the mind set of our police forces and imigration system is. Can give you another one: a (south american born) mother fighting in Iraq for you came home and found her son was sent back to her home country, without even giving her the chance to react. You can find many more examples out there, now tell me this is not terrorism. Do you have the slightest idea how complicated, difficult and expensive it is to apply for a green card, even for well educated people who can read and write and understand the system. If it wsn't the majority of the so called illigel aliens wouldn't be illegal. They would also like to live a normal life like you and me. If I am still talking about something different, then forget my comments and delete them from the above list.
I do not dispute that our legal immigration system is too Byzantine, time-consuming, and expensive. I do not dispute that it needs to be overhauled. In fact, I have written as much on this blog. However, that is no excuse for breaking the law and I do not see the need to give illegal immigrants more deference than we do other common criminals.
I am very sure that someone who robs a liquor store because they are poor and want more money would like "the chance to react". We do not generally give them that chance, not because we are cruel, but because we are a nation of laws. Criminals who are in this country illegally take the risk that they could be arrested and deported at any time. There is no good reason to treat them differently from any other sort of petty criminal.
As for your comment, there is no indication that any cop "played Rambo" in those deportations. There wasn't even the allegation that they did so. Your example confused me because it did not reflect the reality of the cases the President was talking about. You were being engaged in fanciful hyperbole, just like he was. And you were wrong, just like he was.
Obviously you are too biased to see the forest before the trees. My “Rambo” example wasn’t from the raid, it was from the most recent happening in Cambridge, where law enforcement could have ended everything very peacefully instead of arresting an professor who already proofed to be the rightful inhabitant of the house that he was accused of breaking in. Law gives every law enforcement group, police, immigration, etc. a spectrum of possibilities. However if law enforcement officers leave their brain at home and just execute procedures as if they were black and white, then this is what you get.
Many immigrants live in this country already for decades; work hard at companies who would not survive without them. They are everything else but criminals. Many of them would be even better citizens than ….. There are many other important questions than deporting illegal immigrants: How is it possible that illegal immigrants can get work in the US, why were the employers not punished, who is paying them and who is profiting from their misery.
The deportations were one thing, the daily terror that many illegal and legal immigrants as well as regular US citizens have to go through is something else, but fall all under the same umbrella: Stupidly acting law enforcement teams executing laws, made to suppress people instead to give them freedom to develop and live their lives and bring this society a step forward. Is this “The land of the free”? You have obviously not seen much in your life, so be right and I’ll be wrong, however the facts are speaking differently.
No, your example was a non-sequitur. It had no relation to the post on the post on which you commented. Even if you were talking abot Ofc. Crowley, your account is inconsistent with the official report and the evidence from the scene. In neither case does it mean much of anything.
It depends on your way of reading it.
Is that all you have to say?
Jimmie, totally correct. Joe, get a life. I never thought this country would ever become so blind as to put a total idiot in the White House. The police was totally justified in his actions, in case you missed the press release of the BLACK police that took the WHITE police officers side and said "he was just doing his job." Everyone needs to get over pulling the racist card and start being productive members of society. If we could get more sheriffs like "Sheriff Joe Arpaio" in Arizona, we would have much less crime committed in this country, and far less illegal immigrants crossing our borders. If the lazy mothers would get off their backs and stop having 3 kids by 3 different men and then expecting welfare to support them…we'd be in much better shape. Americans have become so lazy its pathetic and what does Obama do?…Let's give them more government money to build the economy. Wow, no flies on you! I think its time Americans wake up…maybe we are coming out of the slumber and realizing Obama is not as much of a genius as everyone thought he was as evidenced by latest polls. Hey, sorry to offend anyone…wanna come to the White House for some beers guys? What a joke.
