Cop Union Boycotts Obama’s Labor Day Address: ‘This Is a Horror Show’

Obama Supports Unions Along With Tom Brady

The New England Police Benevolent Association denounced President Obama for his refusal to condemn Black Lives Matter-influenced cop murders and ignoring their devastated families and communities.
They boycotted Obama’s Labor Day breakfast address in Boston. “Our members are enraged at his lack of support of law enforcement. It’s clear that he has an agenda, and unfortunately the police are not part of his agenda,” Jerry Flynn, the association’s executive director, told the Boston Herald:
Let’s face it, [there have been] eight people killed in a nine-day period, eight police officers, and his silence up until recently has been deafening. And the real sad part of this — and when I went to the White House in the first term with Joe Biden — he said to me that he would be the voice of law enforcement. Well, as much as I love and adore Joe, his voice has been silent as well. So it’s not an Obama problem. It’s an administration problem.
This is a horror show. This is an epidemic of lawless people trying to kill police officers for no apparent reasons. Case in point is the lieutenant who was pumping gas in Houston. Over 7,000 people were at that church, and where was he [Obama]? Why wasn’t he there instead of a unity breakfast?
Flynn said that Obama had an opportunity to speak some common sense after Ferguson, Missouri residents rioted and burned down their neighborhoods following the shooting death of Michael Brown, a black man who tried to wrestle Officer Darren Wilson’s gun from him after robbing a store. Obama has emboldened the criminal elements of society, Flynn said:
I mean, he had the opportunity to do things then and he didn’t, and all he’s done is escalated and allowed these people that are hellbent on causing problems to do so. We can’t continue to have people who have no intention to do anything but to be disruptive. These aren’t good citizens. These are thugs who go out and try to cause problems.
You can’t continue to have this kind of hatred and animosity and the lawlessness that’s going on in this country at the cost of police officers losing their lives. It’s irresponsible of the president and his administration.
Groups such as Black Lives Matter, which pays homage to cop killer Assata Shakur before each of their public agitations, mock and taunt police after officers are murdered, as do other leftists. After Ismaaiyl Brinsley slaughtered NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, posting on Instagram that he was going to “put pigs in a blanket,” Ferguson protester Bassem Marsi filmed himself chanting that same phrase.
If the chief executive of the United States made a statement on behalf of police, Flynn said, it would signal to the roiling criminal class he doesn’t approve of their no-warning ambush killings:
I think it would send a message to people in law enforcement that we have a commander in chief who actually is backing the people who are in the war on the street. And this is a war on the street. He’s got to come out and ask to be a unified group and to support law enforcement.
He’s got a new attorney general. What’s her agenda? What is her message going to be, that she’s actually putting forth? I don’t know the answer to that question. But certainly, what he’s doing now, what he hasn’t done now, has been supportive of those in law enforcement.

The most divisive president we have ever had. I really do not think we have ever had one like him. He is a disgrace.

This is not a war. That's the problem we civilians are facing, and why you in blue are experiencing such intolerance. You are PAID PUBLIC SERVANTS. You swore an oath to serve and protect US. Not one another, not your bosses, and not those among you who do harm, and receive no punishment.
When the day comes that every police officer is subject to the same rule of law as we civilians, and every officer's actions are investigated when a human life is taken, when every officer who acted outside of the code of conduct is prosecuted with the same sentencing as civilians, the "war" you started, will be over.
All we want is justice.
Follow the law.
When you do, the "war", begat by police abuse, and rampant injustice, will be over.

To anonymous September 14, @ 10:19 PM. You are a MORON! And part of the problem! We ARE held to the same standard as you THUGS! We're actually held to a slightly higher standard because of our training, but you're too ignorant to research and find that out. Are there bad cops????? YUP! But are there ignorant, stupid people like you that just won't do what they're told??? YUP!! There ain't no "RAMPANT INJUSTICE" other than your own. If you didn't run, we wouldn't chase you! If you didn't pull a gun on us we wouldn't KILL you! If you didn't resist me, I wouldn't TAZE you! If you weren't BREAKING the damn law, I wouldn't be bothering you at all!!!!!! You are the problem, not us, and I damn sure hope that I'm the one that gets the call from you, the next time your stuff is getting stolen, or you've just been robbed. I, as a Christian, HOPE, it's not to work your murder!!!

To anonymous Sept 14, who told you that we have been paid. Thats what we are fighting for is to be paid. You want us to protect you and lay our lives down. Well we have not had a pay raise since 2006. But thats ok right, Insurance has increased, pension and our check has decreased. Where does that happen, and you want us to lay it down for you. Why dont you go fight for our pay and stop the board of crooks from stealing anymore money with the P-cards
