Hopefully she'll apologize to the nation for raising such a violent creep and causing such an uproar. Or maybe she'll apologize for her husband inciting a riot in Ferguson, yelling to the crowd to "burn this bitch down!"

If she's speaking at the convention, this is just absolute delusion by the Democrats.

However, even though the entire premise of her son's death was based on a lie, the Democrats will continue to hope to keep that false reality afloat, it appears.

Hands up, Don't Shoot = Lie
Men/Women Pay Gap = Lie
Blacks killed by White Cops Epidemic = Lie

Yet you'll constantly hear Obama and Hillary reference them in their speeches.

I don't know what else you can call them other than liars, and I don't like using that word as some on this board do.

How about "They refuse to acknowledge pivotal information that would lead one to come to a directly opposite conclusion than what they have"...

DNC To Have Mother Of THUG Michael Brown Speak At Convention



Not just Mikey's mom Lezley, but 6 others

The mothers of seven slain black men, women and children will be speaking at the Democratic convention,

•Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died in a chokehold administered by an NYPD officer.

•Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, a teenager killed by Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

•Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontré Hamilton, who was killed by a Milwaukee police officer.

•Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis, who was shot by a man at a Florida gas station for playing his music too loud.

•Lezley McSpadden, mother of Michael Brown, who was killed by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer.

•Cleopatra Pendleton-Cowley, mother of Hadiya Pendleton, a Chicago teenager who was shot while in a park with friends.

•Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland, who died in a Texas jail after being imprisoned for a traffic violation.

Yet...the DNC and it's water carriers in the media savaged the RNC Convention appearance of Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, a State Department employee who was killed in Benghazi.

There's a bit of difference between Patricia Smith appearing at the RNC Convention and these 7 at the DNC convention.

Mrs. Smith has a greivance with candidate Clinton over her son's death in Benghazi and the lie she was told by Mrs. Clinton. Yes, these are political conventions and yes, politics can get rough.

However, Donald Trump nor the RNC had anything to do with the deaths of these 7 women's children. They are being brought up to speak for the sole purpose of inflaming primarily the black community but others as well. There is no other rational reason.

That being the purpose, she and the DNC are willfully endangering the lives of law enforcement officers and they know it. If you'll recall, in live national television coverage of a memorial service for murdered Dallas police officers Barack Obama inexplicably brought up the case of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge. The next day 3 Baton Rouge police officers were shot down.

If Loretta Lynch of the Department of Justice has any regard whatsoever for safety of law enforcers she should be cautioning Mrs. Clinton....perhaps under the guise of chatting about their grandchildren in a secret 30 minute meeting at some airport .

Your reply has got me wondering: is this a desperate move, making such a move to shore up support from a pretty fringe group of the DNC's base, as a proportion to the American voting public at large.

On the other hand, they may be going for more gun control, which still isn't a very popular idea in the US. I suspect the American people believe there are bigger fish to fry.

It's probably asking too much of #Blacklivesmatter and #Bluelives matter to expect partisans on both sides to examine each case individually without resorting to their respective echo chamber talking points.

It seems obvious Michael tried to sock up a cop and take the cop's gun after just committing a strong-arm robbery of a nearby convenience store.

If so, he got exactly what he deserved; however, that doesn't mean there isn't a Blue Wall of silence when it comes to police involved shooting.

I am still waiting for some more facts to come out on Alton Sterling. There's much we can't see in the video. Specifically, where were Sterling's arms as these cops were trying to pin him down? Where was the gun found in relationship to where his arms not only were at the time but were reaching for?

I think the gun was in Sterling's pocket, and you're absolutely right to wonder where his hand was in relation to that pocket. You might think two large, male police officers could have disarmed him without resorting to firearms? Fifty years ago someone like Sterling would have been beaten unconscious by a pair of blatantly racist cops who likely would have retired from the force without ever pulling their gun while on patrol. I suppose the elimination of size and gender requirement for police forces explains why there seem to be more officer involved shootings today, yet most of the cops who've made the news lately seem to be large males?

The Thinker said:

But I think you raise a fantastic point. I remember just a few years ago I went to vote. There was a uniformed officer there. She was a female and couldn't have been more than 5 foot 3. I vividly recall thinking to myself, "honey, if I decided I didn't want you to arrest me, you'd not arrest me". And therefore, how would she counteract being such a small cop? Obviously with force. So that leads us back to what you pondered: are gender and size requirements a factor? How can they not be?

I don't think we can exclude half the human race from a profession as important as law enforcement, yet it is hard to ignore the role size plays in intimidation and the significance intimidation contributes to street level policing. It's a job they could not pay me enough to perform even if I was capable of doing it.

Good point. What we could do is assign police duties based on the physical needs of specific jobs. Yes, I'll say it: women should stick to being meter maids and middle school cops. They have no business on beats where they're likely to encounter physically superior males that can break them in half at will.
