Obama And De Blasio Have Always Condemned Violence Against Police, Right-Wing Media Is Lying To You [View all]

[Cha]

Many of us already know what Giuliani, Pataki, National Review, Britebart etc have said about the deaths of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu being the direct fault of President Obama and Mayor de Blasio.. but if you don't.. it's at the link. In the interest of rationed paragraphs I'm posting what the President and the Mayor of NYC have stated in regard to violence against police officers or any kind of violence..

Now, what did Mayor de Blasio and President Obama ACTUALLY say?

Back on November 24th, President Obama, as he addressed the nation after the non-indictment decision in the Michael Brown case, said:

“Understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law. As they do their jobs in the coming days, they need to work with the community, not against the community, to distinguish the handful of people who may use the grand jury’s decision as an excuse for violence.”

He also said:

“Those of you who are watching tonight understand that there’s never an excuse for violence, particularly when there are a lot of people in goodwill out there who are willing to work on these issues.”

The following day President Obama condemned violence again:

“There are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk. That’s destructive and there’s no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts.”

On December 17th Mayor de Blasio said:

“You cannot talk about social change and then commit an act of violence against a police officer. It makes no sense. It denigrates the cause. It undermines the legitimacy. It’s illegal, it’s wrong, it’s immoral.”

Again on the 19th, a day before the killing of the officers, said:

“This is what our democracy allows for, is people to make their voices heard peacefully, in an organized way – and that’s what this group and others have been doing. I made very clear that we cannot accept any violence against our police officers or against anyone. And they were very quick to affirm that they were appalled equally by the events on Saturday night. They find it unacceptable and they will work with the police to identify anyone who seeks to harm the police or harm anyone and undermine their non-violent peaceful progressive movement.”

I really want people to remember that Bill de Blasio was blamed for police deaths by virtue of being a responsible parent to a black son.
