Is there a more insufferable site than the Raw Story? The posts are bad enough, but nearly 100% of the commenters are the type that only survive a neck slap because there are laws against such things.
There’s a story about a black cop in Fort Worth that was suspended because he made a Facebook rant imploring black people to buy “many guns and ammo to answer the call for revolution.”
“Ok my beautiful Black people, now it’s time to fortify yourselves in every way possible, purchase many guns and rounds of ammunition, get good solod [sic] education, learn this [expletive] political system and be ready,” officer Brandon Morris wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post. “I have been watching a few coworkers whom were definitely suspect, looking at them now all my suspicions are confirmed. Stay strong and be ever ready Black people, you may have to answer the call for revolution sooner that [sic] you think. #BLACKPOWER”
I would suspend the guy for telling others to get a “solod” education. That’s right up there with “morans.”
Let me remind everybody about the cop who was just suspended for driving near an anti-Trump rally with a pickup truck decorated with a confederate flag. (This was the point I wanted to make at the Flawed Story, and it’s the type of point I make that causes the morans over there to block me. Can’t have their moranic readership challenged with a simple link to a story that might make them have to think.)
Let’s go to the comments so we can examine the brain power at this ridiculous site.

I agree that a police officer should not be instigating violence, but this guy is getting a harsher punishment than most cops that shoot an innocent human being in the back.
The guy was placed on restrictive duty. There is not one cop in America that is involved in any kind of shooting whatsoever that is not place on restricted duty, or some sort of sanction while an investigation takes place.

I’m guessing the horrors of what he hears at work are evidence most of us don’t have to contend with, but advocating violent revolution is kind of a problem for a public servant, especially a “non-privileged” LEO who suffers from excessive melanin.
So, no evidence of the horrors at work, you’re just guessing. So after a post like that his superiors (I’m sorry, is that word racist?) should just “guess” that he has a legitimate reason to tell black people to arm themselves as a precursor to shooting non-blacks?

cop: we need to protect ourselves
response: no you cant say that desk duties for you
Other cop: literally kills an unarmed man
response: oh its fine you just get a slap on the wrist
What case is she describing? (Can I say “she,” or is that a presumption that will get me suspended from MY JOB?)

Uh oh. He doesn’t know his place. Only white nationalists get to do that kind of thing.
What white nationalist police officer has made a Facebook post calling for the arming of white people against blacks and had nothing happen to him?

Hmmmm, so when a Black policeman calls for standing your ground the palefaces turn even more pale! Chickenshots.
Where is the call to “stand your ground”? This is a paranoid screed from a paranoid black guy that should have his badge and gun taken away. He is telling blacks that his “suspicions” have been confirmed and be ready to start shooting white people.
How would this Raw Story imbecile feel if some jackass put a bullet into their white daughter’s head based on this idiotic FB post?

…it’s a bad thing for a minority to have guns.
No. It’s a good thing for minorities to have legal guns, guns that would be used for, among other legal things, self-protection.
Calling for an armed revolution against “white people in general” is not one of the legal reasons to own a gun. Black people all the time say these sorts of things on FB and nothing happens. It’s an entirely different standard when you are a PEACE OFFICER.
Is that so hard to friggin understand?

Gee, too bad he wasn`t an Oafkeeper. Those guys get to go around talking all kinds of smack…
An oathkeeper has promised not to obey any unconstitutional commands from our government. That would include a command to go out and shoot black people under a “white power” directive.
It’s idiotic sites like Raw Story that stoke the paranoia that got this guy into trouble. It’s the white progressive idiots that gaslighted this poor guy out of a job.
They love it. It becomes cyclical. They’ll point to this incident to inflame the emotions of other black people until they get what they want – a race war.
Meanwhile, in Trump’s world he is talking about trying to bring peace and prosperity to the inner cities — the friggin’ monster!
Once again we see the lovers of peace and tolerance towards anyone and everyone no matter how different they are (until they disagree with them) are the ones who advocate violence. It has been amazing over the last eight years of the “new tone” that has been set by the oh so tolerant demoncrats…In eight years I have never “UN-friend ed” anyone on social media no matter how much they disagreed with me or the vile language they attacked my with. Yet I have had several friends and even family nuke all social ties with me. And it was NOT for foul language or any threats (don’t use them, never will). No, my only crime and it is the only crime that is unforgivable in PC land…I dared to disagree with their political dogma and even dared to advocate that our society should encourage values and principles that are good for society such as requiring an ID to vote and actually having a rule of law that is applicable to ALL people and not exempt political royalty and the Hollywierd characters.
Silly me, I dared advocate equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome.

Raw Story?
Never heard of it.
I don’t go to lefty sites. Obviously they have a different viewpoint than
I have. So why waste my time.
There’s REgressive sites like Common Dreams where you’ll find the occasional acorn of rationalness. Of course the common thread of every leftie site is that opposition is futile, you get banned when you, even without a curse word or derogatory statement.
Then there’s apparently this site. I feel dumber just having read about it.
So, apparently the folks at Raw Story reeeallllyy pissed you off then?
