COP UNDER FIRE FOR CALLING OUT BLACK AGITATORS
By FITSNEWS || Here’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin police chief Edward Flynn going off on critics of his department in the wake of a controversial police shooting.
Flynn’s comments – directed at what one of our readers referred to as “the black underclass subculture” – have gone viral due to their impassioned bluntness.
The drama started last month when Milwaukee police officer Christopher Manney (who is white) shot and killed 31-year-old Dontre Hamilton (who is black). Flynn canned Manney in the wake of the shooting (taking heat from the local union in the process), but that wasn’t enough to satisfy protesters – many of whom showed up at a subsequent public meeting to give him fresh hell.
During that meeting, Flynn was widely rebuked by protesters for checking his cell phone – which was perceived by them as a sign of disrespect for the victim (and the black community in general).
Flynn, as seen in the video clip below, was having none of it … especially given the reason he was checking his cell phone.
“I was on my phone, yes. That is true,” he said in the clip. “I was following developments about a 5-year-old girl sitting on her dad’s lap who just got shot in the head by a drive-by shooting. If some of the people gave a good goddamn about the victimization of people in this community by crime, I’d take some of their invective more seriously.”
“The fact is that the people out here – some of them who have the most to say – are absolutely MIA when it comes to the true threats facing this community,” Flynn continued. “It gets a little tiresome when you start getting yelled at for reading the updates for the kid who got shot? Yeah. You take it personally.”

Flynn is well regarded by those in law enforcement.
“Ed Flynn is cop’s cop, but (he’s) also a genius in regard to intelligence-led policing and community policing,” one of our sources in the business told us.
Flynn’s comments have been celebrated by the “conservative” media as a “takedown” of black leaders. Meanwhile the liberal website Gawker referred to those celebrating Flynn’s remarks as “racist sh*theads.”
Our take? Flynn is speaking the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. Sort of like we were speaking the truth recently when we ripped the administration of Barack Obama for its failure to improve the lot of black America.
Facts are, as the expression goes, stubborn things …
Here’s the bottom line: The more we ascribe race as the reason for things happening (or more accurately, the more we let race color our perception of the world in the wake of events like this), the less likely we are to arrive at the truth. Sure there are plenty of racist people out there (some of whom commit racially motivated crimes) – but using their actions (or what we perceive to be their actions) as grist to run down white or black Americans is ridiculous.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. About time someone in authority spoke from the heart without the worry of being all PC.
Respect his authoritah!
“…the black underclass subculture.”
“The more we ascribe race as the reason for things happening… the less likely we are to arrive at the truth.”
Leave it to Fits to make himself appear racist while supposedly advocating for a race-view of America.
Oops. race-free view.
That black underclass thing is written about pretty regularly in the academic journals. Will’s a racist now for mentioning that? You may be confusing him with Ron Paul…
or Mitt “Book of Moroni” Romney.
Well, on the other side, look what the white trash underclass has done for SC for the past 100+ years. Heck, the whole third-worldish south.
Anyone take bets that he’s lying about why he was on the phone?
Like Obama on Friday when he got off the helicopter on the wHite House lawn,unexpectedly, ran back into the wHite House and came out holding his phone up like that is why he got off.
Only problem is the press has a picture of his phone ,in the case on his HIP ,when he exited the helicopter.
Did he go back in for one last prayer on the ‘rug’ or a hit of ‘crack’? :-)
After listening to those same people constantly bitching and moaning and doing nothing more, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was playing Candy Crush nor would I blame him for doing so.
lol….precisely. Every time the cops are caught in bad behavior they deflect by talking about the “victims” and/or all the good stuff they do.
Did I say what he did was bad behavior? No. In fact, I’d probably last about 30 seconds in front of a bunch of dindu supporting reporters before telling them to shut the fuck up.
“Did I say what he did was bad behavior?”
Of course not, you’re a nigger hater. Most here though that aren’t would consider his behavior in poor taste.
I guarandamntee you he’s lying about that.
fuck you
Is that your bet?
I’m not taking bets for sex.
Yeah, he was lying about that:
http://www.cbs58.com/story/27296003/child-shot-in-racine
How do you know what he was reading about?
Oh, that’s right. Cops never lie.
Maybe because it had just happened and none of the press in the room had any clue what he was talking about.
Oh yea, that sounds like proof to me.
I highly doubt he was weeping over yet another murdered black child while simultaneously ignoring the complaints over the black man shot in the back(probably murdered) by one of his former officers.
But, if that explanation sits with you, fine by me.
OK, so he totally makes up a story about a kid getting shot by a drive-by. And as a total coincidence, at the same time he’s making up the story, a kit gets shot in a drive-by. And no one on the police force responding to the kid getting shot in a drive-by thinks to notify their captain, because police captains don’t ever get notified of stuff like that.
And since police chiefs aren’t used to speaking to the press, he was totally comfortably just making up a story as he’s yelling at reporters, because they would never think to fact-check his story.
Yeah. I can totally see how all that could be true.
Well, all your hyperbole aside. It’ quite easy to see the possible truth in this:
He claimed he was ignoring those complaining to him about his former cop shooting a black man in the back because he was reading about a black child being shot.
See, I didn’t need the hyperbole or 8 lines to make a story time argument.
So you’re moving the goal posts now? You were accusing him of lying about checking his phone about the drive-by shooting. Now you’re supposing he was ignoring those complaining because he WAS reading about a child being shot.
There really should be a sarcasm font, although in this case I didn’t think it was needed.
Really, believe what you want. That’s what makes the world go round.
How do you know what he was reading about?
Oh, that’s right. Cops never tell the truth. See what I did?
Yup!
Giuliani finally got it right.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/11/23/giuliani-white-police-officers-wouldnt-be-there-if-you-werent-killing-each-other/
Good Lord…he’ll take a beating in the press over that!
Giuliani has more money than he can spend in 5 lifetimes and is retired from public office… think he gives a fuck what people think of him?
True indeed! Oh to be in that position, no?
The interesting thing about that whole conversation is that in one respect, Giuliani is right, but on the other hand, both blacks & whites would be happier if white cops just stayed out of black neighborhoods(cops would probably be happier too) and let them kill each other.
For some reason, no one is willing to let that happen.
It reminds me of the whole civil union vs. marriage “debate” where the solution is easy but no one wants to put it into effect, they all want to argue/bitch about it.
…both blacks & whites would be happier if white cops just stayed out of black neighborhoods(cops would probably be happier too) and let them kill each other.
Two out of three ain’t bad, Chief.
Cops would be happier.
Whites would be happier.
The law-abiding black citizens unfortunate enough to live in these neighborhoods wouldn’t think to much of it. The perpetually offended types* would, perhaps unsurprisingly, blame all the violence on whitey’s “ignoring the plight of their neighborhood.”
I’ll bet $10 that if you took a survey of blacks in the afflicted areas that more than 50% of them would take no police presence over the current situation.
Anecdotal, but true IMO. And, since we all know Democracy is grand, it’s a solution everyone should be able to live with.
I’ll bet $10 that if you took a survey of blacks in the afflicted areas that more than 50% of them would take no police presence over the current situation.
TBG bets they would change their mind after a week.
Only an experiment would tell.
Better yet, just have an only black police force there. Wonder how that would work?
Anything is better than the status quo when it comes to blacks and those patrolling their neighborHOODS.
…since we all know Democracy is grand, it’s a solution everyone should be able to live with.
PRO TIP:
Democracy only counts to the DEMOCRAT PARTY when people vote the *correct* way.
The hypocrisy of the DEMOCRAT PARTY is only trumped by the GOP, who tries to “export democracy”, assuming that foreign peoples will, of course, vote the *correct* way.
Used to be, the only difference between democrat and republican was republicans stayed bought.
make it an even crack rock
Reminds me of FITS. You assail lawmakers over race for trying to get a LEGAL ballot. And you hate the GOP because it has white people in it.
Then you attack like you are not part of the ignorance that pervades the leftwing movement to alienate by race, gender and class.
And the problem is, way too many people are like FITS. They whine about the ills ripping our society apart, but they are too stupid – like FITS – to realize it is them who are the biggest contributors to chaos and stupidity.
You almost wrote something intelligent, but keep trying.
GT you have a branding image now. It’s like the Hustler/Penthouse wars of the 70’s. With Hustler, you knew you were going to open it up and have wide open pink pussy 8×11 in your face. Larry wanted it that way. His readers wanted Pussy, not love letters and soft porn.
Your brand has become unintelligible enraged abbreviated profanity. Sort of like trying to watch a bouncing ping-pong ball hop across the floor after doing a hit of acid.
Therefore, when most people now see your tagline they just start trying to think of ways to humiliate you and pound you into oblivion without bothering to read your comments. Perhaps it doesn’t work but you’re not getting your message through either. You have become an 8/11 bright pink pussy. The only people who really want to study it are just as sick as you are.
As far as my goals go, it is just pretty much antagonistic w/ people like you. You are irrelevant as a voter block, and as an influence. Your candidates are laughable or losers, or both. I dance w/ glee as that manifests, as I said it would…
And I do get a thrill out of pointing out the hypocrisy, and low intelligence of FITS and his followers, since that was his mission in getting Sanford, Davis and ‘Pootlain to bankroll him as a protege.
And I have to laugh in that FITS’ touch -if you look at Mace, Ravenel, Sheheen and Ervin – is poison. While he has been ignorant to the crashing-and-burning of the Democrat Party, as I have told you was coming…
PS: Thanks for trying. Your attempt to show me how much you know, only reaffirmed my knowledge that you are mostly a bunch of wannabe Dumb@$$#$, who hate me because I’m so good at what you wish you could be….
Now have a blessed day…(:
8×11
I am through with Negros. They are a bit balky for my taste.
hahaha.
Great
I bet all the ladies at church are jealous of that black lady’s hat.
“You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!!!” – Col. Nathan R. Jessup
I think this applies here. This man’s career will be in the crapper for trying to pull people”s heads out of their butts.
Congratulations to him, He tells the truth, unfortunately, the black community “can’t handle the truth.” It is as though the blacks want to blame the police for brutality while enforcing the law within their community. There is not widespread brutality, this is a fabrication within some communities. This subculture is well on the way to becoming a lost generation.
Excellent post. The ‘black’ subculture is already a lost generation…or 2 or 3. They are only VOTES to the Democrat Party.
The purpose of immigration reform is to allow the Democrat Party to enslave hispanics into a ‘subculture’ of despair and povety for VOTES.
I think the blacks have lost some support in the middle due to their actions in the Trayvon Martin and now the Furgeson debacle.
There should be growing dissent with the blacks at what Obama and the Democrats are doing with the Illegal aliens from Mexico. There is not enough room in the Democrat party for two favorite minorities. I don’t think either group can co-exist with the other in a political alliance.
“The blacks”!!!!??who the fuck you think you are what is this the 50s???the truth is they never gave a fuck you cant handle that truth how tf can a WHITE man shoot up a movie theater just to be escorted in a police car to jail history repeats until we break the chain and its coming..handle that truth mfs are tired you have no room to speak on ANY black theres no debate on whats right or wrong in these situations its been proven time and time again the system is made for us to fail but its not going to happen like that people are scared because we finally barked back no justice or humanity=no fuckin peace!
Wow, you sound like a smart mother fucker! No peace, cool, keep putting the BLACKS down even further….
If I could read it and understand it, I would respond. In the meantime, calm down, and take an English composition course.
Something deep is going on and I’m guessing it’s one of these three:
1. The majority whites regard blacks as inferior and act accordingly.
2. Blacks accept the attitude of majority whites (in Number 1) and act accordingly.
3. Blacks really are inferior.
I sure as hell have no idea which it might be. Could be a different one for any person in the Black underclass. Educated Blacks don’t have to worry about it; they’re above it..
I have no idea idea what you just said. Was that a paragraph or a sentence? Well anyways, people aren’t scared like you say…… unless Bill Cosby is around are daughters.
Wow dude I was expecting something smart to come out of your mouth but for some reason you just embarrassed yourself here. I’m black, african precisely. Let me start . “White people” shooting up theaters and getting escorted to their vehicle. There have been a lot of black criminals who have been apprehended without any type of severe force. Example: lee Boyd Malvo. 3. The system is designed for you to fail? How is it designed for us to fail when I came to this country at 16 my parents had nothing we lived in an apartment my dad got a job and my mom
Went to school 5 years later she is a full blown nurse we move out the apartment and live in a house. Those students who taunted me on the bus for my accent still live in those apartment. Basically nobody “designs” the system for you to fail. It starts with how you present yourself and if you want to be respected. Education is the key. The system provides free college education through financial aid for the not so wealthy so you have no excuse. If you decide to smoke weed and get arrested or have a felony you simply loose that privilege. No one has any shackles on you except your own mindset. You are enslaving your own self. It’s time to stop blaming that system and build your own self. At the end of the day, you dictate how your future outcome will play.
I know of African families who have done the same. They are good citizens. Their children are smart and respectful. Sometimes, I wonder how they have done it.
Outstanding comment!
Absolutely… and killer DWMs should be blown away on the spot rather than taken to court on “catch & release” but non-deport. … Drunk driving while meskin = 40+% of overnight jailbirds west of the Pecos.
I cant read this without some sort of punctuation…sorry. There is this thing called a period. It helps people to know when a sentence ends. Did the system make you lose the ability to compose a sentence that people can understand?
Passing through downtown Denver yesterday noting about three hundred “protesters” (Ferguson? Local issue? … Slow Tuesday?) … not far from the largest of several “homeless” arenas and gathering grounds … dispersed when local photo-journalists appeared … I’m guessing at possible lose of subsidies if associated with vandalism or riot. (Colorado has more g’ment employees involved in homeless questions than homeless … local wing nuts of divergent stripes rat ’em out [all of ’em] when spotted doing dirty deeds [or not])
Ken Hamlin (retired radio, Denver) referred to that “sub-culture” as all to often guilty of using race as defense for crime … “because they did it!”, referring to that “criminal underclass” before the docket.
Tim Scott “can handle the truth.”
Mia Love “can handle the truth.”
Ben Carson “can handle the truth.”
Bill Cosby “can handle the truth.”
Wonder why the Great Society isn’t working?
‘Cause it never was intended to be anything but a democrat vote getter.
Next time someone fires off a few rounds into their house tell them to call Al
Oh, they will, history has proven that. The question is, will Al show up….depends on the potential earnings.
Round up all the thugs … remove those who are in prison … load them on ocean vessels and SEND THEM ALL BACK TO AFRICA. And add Obama to them!
Since you went there I have a suggestion. Rather than reparations, trace all lineage back to the ship ride. Calculate what a 30 day ocean voyage sold for back then. Adjust for inflation and send a bill to whoever wishes to “make things right”. All the sudden it’s like that 20 acre farm out in the country owned by 37 cousins. They all want to inherit it but nobody was willing to pay that $165 tax bill each year so it gets auctioned off at the sale.
I am in. Sounds cheap to me.
My ancestry is Black Irish, slaves to Roman invaders of Britain… Where’s my reparations?
Yeah! … And send the meskins there with ’em.
The man’s words are true. I’ll give him credit for that. That said, his willingness to throw his officer under the bus for political expediency makes him someone that I am not going to look toward as an honorable person. Heck, he looks like a body-double for a certain Midlands area Sheriff who has been known to throw employees under the bus if it gained him points in the press.

AMEN CHIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needed to be said.
The black community has their priorities all WRONG!!!!!
While what he says is true, he says it in typical thug cop fashion taking the aggressive stance and challenging everyone.
He’d have to prove he was getting updated on a crime situation, but good luck with that, if you asked him he’d probably get pissed off and arrest you. One poster already said it, he was probably playing candy crush.
Cops have a tough job having to deal with elements of the society that most of us only read about, but, we pay them to do what they do. They asked for it. The old axiom is true though, when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Well put. The unilateral & unquestioning support for authority in the good ole US of A betrays our history in many ways and is disturbing(to me anyway).
and the more we let religion color our perception of the world, the less likely we are to arrive at the truth.
look what fundamentalists have done to poison the well about evolution.
science allows us to actually look at the creation around us and make judgments about time and age and history. religion wants you to believe in an invisible god or jesus and then run your worldview according to such a fabrication. no way jose !
Well said by the police chief! My only grip is that many Americans do not realize the clear inequality in the criminal justice system in the United States–where minorities (blacks in particular) get harsher sentences or dealt with differently, when compared to their white counterparts, when the same crime is committed. Yes, crime is a crime and people of every race should respect the law; however it is unfair for criminals should not receive un/favorable treatment because of their race.
Why isn’t the black community concerned about the staggering data on black on black crime? Where a black leaders voicing their concerns about that? Why is it so hard for the black community to understand that a group of their peer, the grand jury has reviewed this matter and concluded there was no evidence to go after the cop? Why is it so hard to conceive, albeit it recorded on video for all to see that this kid robbed a store and bullied the owner when confronted, after having smoked weed earlier in the day. is capable of doing exactly what the cop and the forensic evidence corroborates? His own step-father screams “burn the motherfu**er” down”, when the grand jury announcement was made! These people themselves have looted and destroyed their own neighborhoods with their rage! WTF is wrong with these folks? They only serve to perpetuate racism by their ridiculous and destructive conduct! Sadly, they are the Poster People for idiots like white supremacy nuts and racist redneck thugs like the KKK.
Do you think that Mr. Flynn’s heart-felt words were heard and understood? Bravo Mr. Flynn. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe.
No problem being called “racist.” That word’s been so grossly overused, it’s now worth exactly one fart. Usually nobody notices.
