Incite violence much?
Via Newsbusters:
The Root’s Michael Harriot has a problem with the phrase, “Not all cops are bad cops,” and insists, “This is not a pronouncement wrapped in hyperbole.”
On September 21, Harriot suggested, “Maybe there are no good cops.” He then went on to say, “It is as obvious as sunshine at day and darkness at night. It is founded on the simple reasoning of human nature, legal precedent, and commonsense logic.”
He cites as proof the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Laquan McDonald, and others. He also lists off individuals in the police force guilty of criminal and heinous activity. Due to the actions of these few, he claims that there are only “mythical good cops” among the over 1 million state and local law enforcement officers.
Arguing that even the good police officers are bad, he explained, “If you sat home, committed no act of violence but sent $7 to ISIS,” he asserted, “you would be arrested as a terrorist because you would be guilty of aiding the enemies of America.” Yes, but it’s incorrect to claim that, because of the action of a few evil Islamists, all Muslims are terrorists. But let’s not apply that same standard to the police force.
Showing the utmost respect for the men and woman who protect and serve us, Harriot continued, “There are men in white hoods who never light crosses on lawns or tie nooses around necks, but if you see them in uniform, you just know they’re Klansmen.”
He then falsely claimed, “We know that this organization kills blacks more often than it kills white people.” However, that is simply not true.
