I can't be the only person who has noticed how police around the nation have been under siege in the last few years. It has never been this bad in my life, & I believe it's been encouraged for political purposes.
Where is Al Sharpton or the Obummer? Why aren't they screaming about the killing of a black cop, by all accounts a fine young man?
If it had been a couple of white thugs who had done this we would be seeing Mississippi Burning all over again. The race baiters like Sharpton would be screaming at the top of their lungs, burn baby burn.
Two more good men killed thanks to the media pukes. The entire main stream media wouldn't make a pimple on the ass of either of these men.
Hattiesburg just doesn't seem like the sort of place something like this should happen. Racial divisions in some ways are more stark than up north, but in some ways better. It's a quiet town where the main impression I got from everybody, black and white, was politeness. After two days there, I found my own manners changing. I've always told people that Southern accents are all slightly different and Hattiesburg is ground zero for the absolutely perfect Southern accent. I love the way they sound in that area, like every sentence has all the time in the world to finish. And when they listen, they give you their complete attention and they wait when you're finished to make sure you're finished before they reply. I guess even in peaceful Southern towns like Hattiesburg, bad people exist.
