Here's Another Part Of The Problem (UPDATED)

We hesitated to comment on this considering the terrible events today in Baton Rouge, LA, but the incredibly irresponsible remarks by Cleveland Republican Police Patrolman's Association president Det. Steve "Loon" Loomis forced our hand:

Before all of the facts were even in following the shooting deaths of three Baton Rouge policemen on Sunday, the head of Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association blamed President Barack Obama for the spate of cop killings. 

Detective Steve Loomis, who made national headlines when he called 12-year-old Tamir Rice “menacing” after the pre-teen was gunned down in 2014 by a fellow Cleveland cop, was quick to get on the phone with Fox News and tell the country that Obama has “blood on his hands.”  [snip]

“The president of the United States validated the false narrative and the nonsense that Black Lives Matter and the media are pressing out there to the public. Validated it with his very divisive statements and now we see an escalation,” he claimed. “This has got to end. We need some leadership in this country.”  (our emphasis)

Slandering President Obama.  Check.

On Fox "News."  Check.

Called twelve- year- old unarmed Tamir Rice "menacing."  Check.

"We need some leadership in this country."  Make America Great Again.  Check.

Loon could start providing some of that leadership himself if he weren't so anxious to blame that =cough= black =cough= guy in the White House. He now joins the Roll of Dishonor (which includes comments and actions like this, this, this, and this from other politicized police who are intent on politicizing these senseless shootings and inflaming difficult and complex situations.  Does it sound to you that Detective Loon has the temperament or judgement to be a police officer?

As far as who's pushing a "false narrative", read this by white ex- cop Michael Wood and then tell us about "false narratives."

Listen to black ex- cop Reddit Hudson and then tell us about "false narratives":

On any given day, in any police department in the nation, 15 percent of officers will do the right thing no matter what is happening. Fifteen percent of officers will abuse their authority at every opportunity. The remaining 70 percent could go either way depending on whom they are working with.

We'll guarantee we know which percentile Detective Loon falls into.

UPDATE:  Detective Loon seems to be out of step with his own police chief.
