More law enforcement has been targeted and killed by RW anti-government rhetoric

than by any other source. RW domestic terrorism has been acknowledged quietly by law enforcement to be their NUMBER ONE CONCERN for their personal safety.

But….who controls the corporate media?

Interesting that NO political opportunists or corporate media will EVER open a discussion about that simple truth in front of news cameras.

Why didn't police unions speak up? Where was FOX? Too busy lobbying to suppress THIS study and report?

Looking clearly at right-wing terrorism

Five years ago the US Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division released an assessment of US far-right extremism. Initially intended for law enforcement and intelligence agencies only, the report—“Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”—was almost immediately leaked. The report warned that small cells practicing “leaderless resistance” and “white supremacist lone wolves the most significant domestic terrorist threat.” Significantly, it highlighted the likelihood of expanded attempts by far-right extremists “to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities.” Overall, the report warned of trends similar to “the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence.” That far-right extremist rally reached a violent crescendo with the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995.

Reflecting on the past five years, a leading far-right extremism expert I recently interviewed described the homeland security report as “prophetic.” Mark Pitcavage, the Anti-Defamation League’s director of investigative research, explained that most of the warnings in the 2009 report have become realities. Yet at the time of its release, the document was derided by many inside and outside of government as “ridiculous deeply offensive,” an “inconceivable” assault on US veterans, and, in general, “a piece of crap.” Buckling under political pressure from conservatives, homeland security rapidly repressed the report. Promptly removed from department's website, the tabooed document also disappeared from the computer systems of state and local law enforcement divisions as well as federal intelligence agencies. The homeland security unit responsible for the report was virtually muzzled. The report essentially fell into obscurity.

I've said a lot of shit about the police lately because of the incidents in New York City and Furgeson, Missouri, but I wouldn't ever encourage violence. Alex Jones is so bat shit crazy that he thinks he can start a war against the government because of some inane theory that the government is coming to take your guns away. They're not, and will not ever. We are definitely better than they are in that regard. No lives should ever be lost because of an AM radio talk show host.

on camera - they have no real fear of 'violence' from the left and curry favor with the RWers they TRULY fear by publicly agreeing with their anti-left views.

Not publicly, anyway. And now way will FOX have an unscripted, unrigged, open discussion on the topic.

Eyewitness to the Millions March protest says the video showing "dead cops" chant is fake


The viral cell phone video was first posted to the Rockland Times blog on 12/13/14 with the description:

A New York City resident told the Rockland County Times that he shot the video during the early evening of Saturday, December 13 as the “Millions March” was taking place. The video shooter said he’d seen anarchists in Murray Hill with signs that read “no cops, no prisons” and believes they are most likely the culprits behind the vulgar chant. Some red flags can be seen in the video.

Why not make your own thread and you can pretend all you want that protests of police shootings are far more threatening to law enforcement than RW anti-government activists.

That's what you want, isn't it?

Most of teh comments are from RWers saying "you're lying, the left are most violent", "ACORN", "Eco-terrorism".

BTW - It was a study of police chiefs across the country that came to the conclusion. I suppose RW Moonie News swallowers want to believe they know more about law enforcement and their fears than the chiefs do, eh?

I can vivedly remember one winger on HuffPo insisting that the UK NHS has rationed care and death panels, even after me pointing out that I'm British, deal with the NHS weekly and both of those are untrue. Contrary information, no matter how correct, simply never enters the conservative mind.
