You call this man your President? He is disgusting. (sm)

Posted: May 9, 2015

Sends 3 representatives to criminal Freddie Gray's funeral but ignores the funeral of slain police officer in NY. What is wrong with this man, I mean really. Does he not understand he is supposed to be the president to all of us? Blacks and whites? No, I don't think he does.

The issue was to pay respect to a community - abused by government representation

Perhaps we should open a funeral service department to attend all officers killed in the line of duty funerals. He didn't send anyone to most of the other people killed by policemen either. It is the magnitude of the situation not the individual death.

It is disgusting that the people of the United States have come to disrespect their President in this way though.

the people won't respect the president. Nothing new.

If this president can send representatives to funerals of only black men supposedly murdered by police, but cannot send representatives to funerals of policemen killed by black men, there's something wrong.

It shows what "side" he's on and he's not representing the people, just one race.

What side he's on? Sure it's all just that simple? - sm

This poster said: "It shows what 'side' he's on and he's not representing the people, just one race."

Just one race? How does anyone figure that? It shows just how gullible the right-wing media propaganda pushers like Fox News and Breitbart believe their viewers to be, when in their haste to push the fallacy of white victimhood and Obama representing only one race, they forgot that last week they were accusing Obama of being a Mexican immigrant lover and the week before that they were accusing him of being an Arab lover. I could go on adding races, but the point is clear.

The right wing propaganda machine marches on, fanning the flames of white victimhood and punching the buttons of the gullible and perpetually persecuted.

Pay no attention to the fact that the world is made up of many races, Fox News and the right-wing machine wants you to see things in two colors, and no matter which color Obama is representing depending on which week it is, the white race is always going to be the victim in the alternate reality of the right-wing bubble, a world where everything that goes wrong can be traced directly back to either something Barack Obama did or did not do or to something Barack Obama said or did not say....... right down to suggesting that President Obama flashed a commonly used "Muslim gang sign" by holding up his right index finger.

Pathetic and sad, but yes, people really are that gullible.

Fox News Propaganda and Breitbart: Just keep pushing those same white victimhood buttons. - sm

Right-wing propaganda machine just keeps fanning the flames.

Pathetic and sad that the gullible masses either don't know or don't care that they are being manipulated for the mere purpose of advancing the right-wing political agenda.

And you have deduced that how? - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
Because they would like justice for the police that are being killed due to racist remarks from different men and women like Sharpton, Jackson, Cummings, Waters, Mobley, Lynch (yes, she did it too at her hearing), Rawlings-Blake, Shabazz, Farrakhan, and others?

Or didn't you hear or read any of their remarks from neutral sources? Try videos. They always tell the truth because it's "straight from the horse's mouth."

President Biden went to one and FBI DIrector - to other of Liu and Ramos

[ In Reply To ..]
I agree it must be right wing froth them up day again.

Here's the actual transcript of Biden's speech at Ramos' funeral - from the White House website

[ In Reply To ..]
Apparently, Fox Nation News published both stories. The first story is inaccurate and was derived from Breitbart. The second was derived from The Hill, stating Biden attended Ramos' funeral and FBI Directory Comey attended Lius' funeral.

It is accurate because an exact transcript of Biden's speech can be found below, issued by the White House. Here is the URL:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/12/27/remarks-vice-president-biden-service-nypd-officer-rafael-ramos

Here is an exact transcript of what Biden said at the funeral, again, directly from the White House website:

______________________________________________

Christ Tabernacle
Glendale, New York

10:18 A.M. EST

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Governor Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio, Commissioner Bratton, Pastor, thank you for allowing me to be here today and according me the privilege of expressing the condolences of Jill and my whole family to the Ramos family. What handsome boys.

I remember a similar occasion a long time ago. And, Mom, I assure you those boys will get you through all of this.

I’m sure I speak for the whole nation, Maritza, when I say to you that our hearts ache for you. I know from personal experience that there is little anyone can say or do at this moment to ease the pain, that sense of loss, that sense of loneliness.

But I do hope you take some solace from the fact that as reported by the press there’s over 25,000 members of the same fraternity and sorority as your husband who stand and will stand with you the rest of your life -- and they will. It’s an uncommon fraternity.

Justin, and Jayden, you’ve shown tremendous courage and character in these past few days. You are your father’s sons. And he was so, so very proud of you from everything that I have heard. And just know, as hard as it is to believe, he will be part of your life the entirety of your life.

Mom, no child should predecease a parent. My heart aches for you.

And, Maritza, I know from experience there are no words that I can offer to ease that profound sense of loneliness and loss you’re feeling right now.

But I also know from experience that the time will come -- the time will come when Rafael’s memory will bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes. That’s when you know it’s going to be okay. I know it’s hard to believe it will happen, but I promise you it will happen. And my prayer for you is it will come sooner rather than later.

There’s a headstone in Ireland that reads:

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.

Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.

Just sitting here for a few moments looking at the screens, no one had to know your husband to not know how desperately he cared about his family, how close he was to all of you.

I didn’t know your husband and I didn't know his partner, who were keeping watch at Myrtle and Tompkins Avenue on that terrible afternoon, but I do know why they were there. They were there to protect and defend, as they always are. Sometimes fearful, but always watchful.

I knew them. They’re the guy I grew up with in Scranton and Claymont, Delaware, the boy with the most courage and the most compassion; the man with a brave heart and a generous soul; a brother who always looked out for his sister; a father whose words were always encouraging to you boys with a touch that could soothe away the fear; and a son who made his mother proud every time he turned and smiled at her; and a husband with a gentle hand who could soothe away the concerns, who you knew would always be there.

A former school safety officer, who became a cop at age 37; an active member of his church, studying to become a chaplain; a father, a husband, a son; a seven-year veteran on the force. A son of a Chinese immigrant, his partner, conversant in several dialects; a newlywed. Both -- confident, committed, passionate and vigilant.

Being a cop was not what they did, it was who they were; like every man and woman in uniform here today. It’s who you are. And they like every one of you in uniform inside this church and outside, you all joined for essentially the same reason. There was something about you that made you think you could help, that you should serve, that you had a duty.

I have spoken at too many funerals for too many peace officers, too many funerals for brave women and men who kept us safe and watched their families grieve. And I’ve observed one thing that unfortunately, it’s only when a tragedy like this occurs that all their friends, neighbors, and people who didn't even know them become of aware of and reminded of the sacrifices they make every single, solitary day to make our lives better.

Today we pay tribute to Officer Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. We pay tribute to their families. Because every day when a police officer pins on that shield and walks out the door, the officer’s wife, husband, mother, father, brother, sister, children -- they know anything could happen. The fear of that call at 3:00 a.m. in the morning, the relief of hearing the voice of the door opened, says, I’m home.

There’s a line from the English poet, John Milton. He said, “They also serve who only stand and wait.” Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of American families stand and wait so their husbands and wives, fathers and sons can serve the rest of us. Police officers and police families are a different breed –- thank God for them. Thank God for them.

And your husband, Maritza, and his partner, they were a part of New York’s Finest. And that's not an idle phrase. This is probably the finest police department in the world -- the finest police department in the world. They earn that praise. (Applause.)

It’s a sacred trust they took on when they kiss their children’s forehead as they sleep, and head out on a night shift to watch over all of the children of this great city, treating and protecting each of them as if they were their own.

When you patrol the streets of New York, you circle the Earth; a six-story walk-up, apartment towers, aromas of a million kitchens continuing thousands of traditions; streets full of silence, streets bursting with hundreds languages -– whispering. Laughing. Shouting.

An intimidating city. A city of others. A city of labels and borders and seemingly unbridgeable gaps, a city constantly grappling with issues as old as the nation and as new as the morning headlines.

Yet in every neighborhood in this great city, this most alive of all cities, this chaotic miracle stands as a beacon to the world in no small part because of the sacrifices that the New York Police Department makes every single day.

So when an assassin’s bullet targeted two officers, it targeted this city and it touched the soul of the entire nation -- a city where the son of a Chinese immigrant shared a patrol with a Hispanic minister in training; a city where a single ride on a subway brings you into contact with more people, more lives than many people in this country will encounter in an entire lifetime; a city that educated a young college student with a mother from Kansas, and a father from Kenya who would one day stand before the nation and declare: This is not a black America or a white America or a Latino America or an Asian America; this is the United States of America. (Applause.)

And for those of us who are not New Yorkers, we look at you in awe because this is the united city of New York as well; a city that rose as one to confront two of the greatest disasters of this century -- one from the evils of terrorism on 9/11 and one from the fury of nature in Superstorm Sandy.

This is a city of courage and character, having faced and overcome the toughest challenges and I’m absolutely confident as you are that spirit is still alive and well in this city. And I’m absolutely confident it will guide you in the days and weeks ahead.

I believe that this great police force, and this incredibly diverse city can and will show the nation how to bridge any divide. You’ve done it before. And you will do it again. Because, to paraphrase the words of William Allen White, you are not afraid of tomorrow, because you’ve seen yesterday and because you love today.

To the Ramos family, we were all lucky to have Rafael. He didn’t just have a bible in his locker, he lived it in his heart. He was a cop for all the right reasons.

Mom, we owe you for nurturing him. And, Maritza, we owe you for supporting him. And, Justin and Jayden, know that although your father is gone, you have inherited an entire family, the men and women of the New York Police Department will always be there as long as you are alive. They never -- they never -- never forget.

There’s a communion hymn in my church that has a stanza that goes like this:

May he raise you up on eagle’s wings

And bear you on the breath of dawn.

And make the sun to shine on you.

That’s what your father wished for, for both you boys. That's what your father wished for, for this city. And it will happen.

May God bless your family and the family of his partner and may God protect the 84th Precinct and every police officer throughout this great country and keep them safe while they stand on watch for us. God bless you all. (Applause.)

So yes, that would be another Breitbart/Fox News lie. And again, I think they're so eager for stories like these, they're screwing up right and left. In fact, Fox News contradicted itself posting both stories.

For links to the contradicting stories, please see my other comment directly to the OP below.

The OP didn't specify but Jeh Johnson, Sec. of Dept of Homeland Security, attended Brian Moore - funeral says the NY Times

Fox News contradicted itself. One article says Obama ignored them, the other says - he sent Biden and FBI director?

Here is the article stating he ignored the funeral from Fox, apparently derived from Breitbart:

http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/05/09/obama-ignores-slain-white-police-officer-sent-3-officials-freddie-gray-funeral

Here is the other article, also from Fox, stating he sent Joe Biden to Ramos' funeral, the FBI Director Comey to Lius' funeral?

http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/05/09/obama-ignores-slain-white-police-officer-sent-3-officials-freddie-gray-funeral

Which are we to believe?

The latter - because here's a copy of Biden's speech at Ramos Funeral:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/12/27/remarks-vice-president-biden-service-nypd-officer-rafael-ramos

This is why we cannot restrict obtaining our news to just one source or one political opinion.

I think you're a little behind the times? - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
I believe the OP was talking about Brian Moore, not Ramos and Liu, or did you forget about Brian?

Cop killings are happening weekly since Al Sharpton's speeches in Ferguson and Baltimore. It's time to stop this man and anyone else who incite.

Oh, and just to keep you informed, 2 more were killed in MS over the weekend, Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 24.

All these cops were killed by ambush.

All these cop killings have happened in the past few months and why? I say Sharpton and Malik Shabazz had a LOT to do with it. The hate they spew, sadly, is covered by the 1st Amendment, but I think the cops should be allowed to arrest them for disorderly conduct and/or inciting to riot.

And were they based on race and persecution? - Behind the times?
