Pray for law enforcement and our country

Written by

Another day goes by and more police are targeted. Whether they are targeted due to the color of their skin or the jobs they do – the results are the same.

My wife in response to headlines broadcasted on TV proclaimed….“There are some sick people in this world.” I corrected her…“Honey – it’s evil. Pure evil.”

Maybe evil has always existed at the level of today and we just hear more about it. Regardless law enforcement across the country is under attack. The combination of the #blacklivesmatter movement and radical Islam has made being a police officer much more dangerous.

A friend of mine who has been a cop in my hometown recently posted on Facebook that he had been thinking he didn’t know if he could keep doing it. He said the outpouring of support and love from the public recently has dismissed his thoughts of a career change.

I am sending out prayers today that God protects those that protect us.

Obama is quoted in the news as telling America we need to “tamp down the rhetoric”. Considering the fact that he is the one that initiated the “rhetoric” when he went on the evening news and stated Trayvon could have been his son, or he could have been Trayvon, all tamping down should start with him. Within a week of “our” first black president making this statement, a young white man in Mobile, Alabama was beaten within an inch of his life, in his front yard, by a group of blacks with baseball bats. As they left, they shouted to his family who was on the porch, “that’s for Trayvon”.

The mood of the nation is set from the top. This president has been an abysmal failure in this as well as everything else he has touched. He owns the current violence against our police forces.

Obama should shut his mouth.

Nothing he can say will comfort the families of the dead or injured. Anything he might say will only inflame the passions of those of weak control.

Time may be all that will sort this mess. Having met my future wife in a jail. I know of what I’m speaking better than many.

I will pray for them. These very, loud, but smaller group of evil, evil bastards. Are so desperate and pathetic that when the Nice, France attack happened BLM got made at Paris saying they stole their limelight. What a bunch of evil, loser, animals, when women, children, and babies were killed in France that night, BLM actually pitched a fit like the uncontrolled, uneducated, insensitive idiots they are.. To understand them and their evil followers, just watch the video I posted on here call, “Stupid burt millennials”

This are really tough and horrible days the few bitter and evil people are creating for law enforcement, but this to will pass. Want proof? Where is the mass hysteria and racial war bummer thought he could start? Look out your window maybe I missed it. Calmer heads will prevail and just like every single bummer and his co-horts have touched. This too….will fail.

The administration does need to shut the up.. unless it is going to be reassuring and hopeful.. with meaningful responses. People act poorly when they are afraid.. Most simply do not now, nor will they ever know how to accommodate change, nor have they ever had to function in fear and high stress. Essentially it’s a chronic low grade battle .. or maybe a siege is a better analog. Thing is we do not have a clear and present danger or a well defined enemy, and one of he ones we DO see, seems to be US. So we reach out and strike at authority for not taking care of us.. paying us.. letting us live without concern and go about our day.(not saying that is right.. just observing the herd)

IMO it’s right out of the 60’s playbook.. different players of course.. The level of tension and scandal is far greater, but the sequel is always bigger and larger .. has to be or no one notices since the old one becomes less dramatic with time and more normal.

I do however believe the goal or end game on this one is possibly different.. it feels like it is anyway. In the absence of facts I’ll go with my gut. No one ever does anything that is not within their core beliefs. It’s not possible. If they do it, it is, regardless of what they say.
If the end game. as it appears to be, if they fan the fear and hatred to the point we will need help controlling the furor, Why are we acting like we are (POTUS through Congress through SCOTUS?). Why go the longest congressional break almost ever at a critical time. Maybe the running of congressional elections .. that is certainly part of it. Why increase troop levels in an area where POTUS clearly does not support the action. There will be only risk, with no defined goal.. as waste.In both cases it could be to get them out of the way. Moving pieces like a Chess game.
I don’t believe in coincidence. Rule: # 39

The strong among us will rise to lead and do whatever is necessary. We always do.

We do however need to pray and believe that we can make it better, not so much for ourselves, but for our children and theirs.. we owe it to them. Much of our consumptive generation fell asleep at the wheel ..
Both Liberty and Freedom require sacrifice .. by design the Republic is not here for us, we are here to serve it, and by that I mean each other and our collective futures. (Rome forgot that as well)
I Stand Ready to help and serve.

Every time Obama opens his mouth when these kind of tragic things happen he just fuels it 10 times over just on his comments!

  No PR – it is so obvious and apparent to those wishing to look.
