Black, Lesbian Cop saves the life of a white nationalist who is determine to take away her rights.

Fairly pathetic and dishonest title, but kind of to be expected from some around here. That said, she's absolutely a hero, it's just to bad that you didn't feel like you could just say that without showing your ass. I guess we can just be happy that you haven't yet picked up a gun and attempted to murder congressmen like your comrade that Griner helped gun down.

 

I absolutely agree that these two cops are heroes. Do you agree @Sweet Lou 4 2 ?

 

SO POWERFUL -- TRUE HERO

 

Anyone who puts themselves in harms way to save another's life is a hero.

Not sure why you are asking me this question...

 

There is nothing wrong with the title, as long as it's factual. No faux safe places people, but absolute need to be factual and honest. If bobby can't handle the truth, so be it.

Let's hope he survives and will have a change of heart. People sometimes change dramatically after facing death. I know, probably wishful thinking. But I think once he recovers, if he continues to support policy or legislation that discriminates and takes away rights from the very cop that save him, they should call him out for it every time it happens.

Last point. The cops are hero. It also shows that people who you might imagine would completely disagree with the very people they assigned to in some capacity, is fully capable of performing a great job. This is why it's absolute ridiculous when Trump said so called judge can't perform their job because of their heritage, or the new talking points from the right saying Mueller should step down because one of the witness is his friend.

 

I've seen no evidence Scalise is a white nationalist

This is the special agent who killed the BernieBot


It is a shame someone as brave as Crystal Griner injured protecting our congress is now being used as a political prop. I hope her ankle is OK. A 7.62x39 to the ankle has got to cause a ton of damage. Hopefully nothing permanent. I think it is telling the OP had a shot at creating a truly reverent thread and just decided to be edgy. Very telling.

 

Let's face it, this type of thread is exactly the type of rhetoric that James Hodgkinson would have loved. It's unfortunate that people here wish to carry on his legacy but unfortunately that's just where so many of the fringe left are these days and it's shockingly mainstream.

 

The telling part is not the fact that you attack a congressman in the hospital having surgeries and might never walk again. That is just tribal politics from the left as per usual and some pathetic attempt to be edgy.

The interesting part is the fact that you called Special Agent Griner a "cop" and skipped the black Special Agent who actually killed the radicalized leftest in favor of the Special Agent who ranked higher on the intersectionality scorecard.

This shows you don't care about the merit and hard work that got crystal griner in a prestigious position or even the actions of another if their identity isn't as useful. I've seen first hand what a .30 cal rifle bullet does to tissue and bone and my guess is her ankle is ****ed. Pulling herself up and re engaging the threat is badass, despite that you only care about identity. Do better.

 

Personally, I find that agents who put their lives on the line to protect and save individuals whose views and political aims run counter to those agents' interests part of the beauty of this country. And that does include the identity of the agent, in so far as the person they are and how they live is politically targeted.

Agent Griner isn't just one thing or another. She is a complex human of amazing courage and integrity. Who she is, who she loves, her life experience doesn't disappear just because she worked her ass off to become an agent (or a CEO or a professor or whatever position of prestige). Nor do those things disappear because of her bravery. It is all one thing, yes, intersecting at her point in society. And, IMO, it is just as off base to try to erase, separate, or minimize those things for political story telling as it is to magnify those same attributes for political gain.

 

I don't much appreciate the strategy of using a cop injured in the line of duty to score cheap political points. She did her job, she did it well, and we all celebrate her. I'm sure the moral worth of the people she was protecting never crossed her mind, as it shouldn't. What does it matter what their politics are?

 

Context is key. Apparently, he supported many of the same policy ideas as Duke. Duke was also very popular in Louisiana politics in the 90s, to be elected, you had to befriend the man. Doesn't make it right, but it doesn't make it nearly as dirty as that quote suggests.

 

I remember when a whole bunch of Republicans and conservative news sources tried to pretend that Pulse in Orlando wasn't actually a gay nightclub so they wouldn't have to express sympathy for homosexuals.

As long as stuff like that happens it is important to point this stuff out. I can appreciate that you think its in poor taste, but that doesn't make it less necessary. Pointing it out is supposed to make you uncomfortable if you are anti-LGBT.

I think persecuting people for sexual preference is in pretty poor taste, myself, so right back atcha.

Also, its pretty hard to "context" away being guest of honor at a white supremicist conference. You couldn't pay me enough to accept that "honor".

Scalise didn't deserve to get shot, but getting shot didn't give him a 'get out of jail free' card for everything that came before, either.

 

Very well stated those two officers did what they were trained to do serve and protect the people no matter what they may have thought of the people they serve if it be good or bad they did there jobs without restraint or bias.

 

More telling - the fact that CaseyH goes AWOL from the D&D after hitching his horse to the "Russia is fake news!" wagon and then pops up when he can pontificate on RIFLE STUFF
