Philly Police Union President Calls Black Lives Matter Activists A Pack Of Rabid Animals

But he has defended an officer who appeared to be sporting a Nazi tattoo.

The president of a Pennsylvania police union responded to Black Lives Matter activists demanding accountability for the police killing of a black man by calling the group a “pack of rabid animals.”  

Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby made the statement Thursday during a rally held by and in support of police, according to NBC Philadelphia. The “Back the Blue” rally was in response to a protest the week before by members of Black Lives Matter held outside the house of Officer Ryan Pownall, who fatally shot a David Jones in June.

Pownall, a 12-year veteran, shot Jones in the back as he fled from a traffic stop. Police said Jones was armed with a gun. This marks the second time Pownall has shot a black man in the back as he was fleeing. In 2010, he shot Carnell Williams-Carney who ran from cops while having an illegal gun on him.

At Thursday’s police rally, McNesby called BLM protesters “racist hate groups determined to instigate violence.”

“When you go to work each day, you shouldn’t have to worry that a pack of rabid animals will suddenly show up at your home and openly threaten your family,” McNesby said inside FOP headquarters, according to NewsWorks. “These are not activists, they are racist hate groups determined to instigate violence.”

My response to McNesby would be ....Well you are not a "police force" you are a "racist hate group" determined to instigate violence.

8. Blue is a choice, Black is not.

Why is America's response to a group that fired live rounds into a crowd, assaulted someone four on one and killed a woman with a car . . . . any flimsy, threadbare reasoning to portray the left (Antifa, BTW, are mostly anarchists, neither right OR left) "equally as bad/guilty"???
