Racist "law-and-order" skinhead retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck, CNN contributor, on the day of the police shooting, said:
"These people are encouraging violence against the police... responsible for what happened and they do have blood on their hands. The vast majority of New Yorkers support the police. You have a fraction of a percent of people turning out for the protests and they must be stopped."
He was referring to ALL the protestors, BTW.
John Meacham, contributing editor of Time Magazine this morning on TV said:
"There is a silent majority out there, and they support law and order, and I think you will see them come out and defend the police. We have to get back to the late 1980s when order was restored to the streets of New York, but not under this leadership."
More from Harry Houck: NYPD Harry Houck: "No amount of talking can save you" - "He resisted arrest, that is why he is dead"
Indicted former police commissioner and post-911 stooge of Giuliani, Bernard Kerik on CNN right now: "There is a lie about the police in this country, that cops are racist and targeting minorities, its BS and it's not true."
"Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton gets his power from this. (All this controversy...) It's being promoted by Al Sharpton, Mayor DeBlasio and others" -- Bernie Kerik right now.
"I don't care what color you are. You teach your kids to respect authority. You teach them to say yes sir, no sir. You don't throw a cell phone up in their face" -- Kerik, again

not that I'm a fan of Bratton.
and I guess he had to say it, since he is on the Mayor's team so to speak.

(3,864 posts)"Obviously, there's a lot of emotion involved when two police officers are killed," Kelly told ABC News during an appearance on the network on Sunday. "When the mayor made statements about how they had to train his son, who is biracial, to be careful when he's dealing with the police, I think that set off this latest firestorm."
BULL- what the mayor told his son is what practically every Black person in America tells their child. It's an attempt to make sure they grow up, and not be shot down in the prime of life.
and the always lovely former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani placed some of the blame for anti-police sentiments on the president. Appearing on Fox News, Giuliani accused Obama of disseminating "propaganda" inciting people to "hate the police."
crap

(60,010 posts)Former Commissioner of Police and of Correction Dept. in NYC.
NOT law abiding:
In 2006 Kerik pleaded guilty to two ethics violations after an investigation by the Office of the Bronx District Attorney and was ordered to pay $221,000.
In 2009 Kerik pleaded guilty] before U.S. federal prosecutors to 8 charges including criminal conspiracy, tax fraud, and lying under oath.
The oath lying had to do with him making false statements to the White House (in his background information statement regarding his Department of Homeland Security appointment) and other federal officials.
Kerik was sentenced to four years in federal prison on February 18, 2010
He actually served only 6 months.
Apparently feeling he was now an expert on sentencing, he said mandatory minimum sentences are not benefiting society.
He authored a White Paper in 2011 that he sent to Attorney General Eric Holder, which outlines his personal observations of the U.S. criminal justice system that he said is in dire need of repair. The attorney generals office has never acknowledged receipt of the white paper nor commented on this alleged submission.

So, a felon for life, is our man Kerik. He needs to be called out for his bullshit.
