I think you might need to loosen the tinfoil a bit. This sounds as loopy as the other side positing that NYPD staged the murders to garner support for themselves. There's no big conspiracy. There's just murderous douchebags out there looking to make a splash.
I am reminded of the words of Booker T. Washington. What was true over a century ago remains true today:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs, partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."
(By all means, read the whole chapter.)

Do you think the rioters/agitators truly give a rat's *ss about either of these two? Or about Trayvon for that matter?
They have been working on this perfect storm of 'outrage' for years now, and with the help of some in government, it's taking off.
When gunmen walk up to officers eating lunch and assassinate them, it seems like the time for reasoning has passed. Looking like a domestic insurgency to me. Where's the DOJ and Southern Poverty Law Center on this. (sarcasm)
Why point out ONE group, and ignore the others?

Here is your answer.
Uh what? You're acting like this sort of thing has never happened before.... And quite recently. I guess it wasn't a "domestic insurgency" back then?
Coppers have long memories.
Why do we need to point out any groups at all? What is wrong with individual accountability?
I'm a cop, as are you. I share no responsibility for what police officers on other agencies or in other states do. Why must I be lumped into a group with them when it serves no purpose other than to pit me against others?
I'm not mad at black people for the murder of those two officers. I'm not mad a people from New York. Im mad at the individual who did it and I'm a little more than irritated at those who continuously perpetuate divisions in this country whether they are based on skin color, religion, profession or any other ridiculous identifier which serves no productive purpose.
100% right. Why point out groups at all? I'm trying to get people to understand that it's not a group thing, it's a evil criminal thing. But here on INGO, if someone does something wrong, and it's a group they have a negative opinion about they use the example to condemn most, if not all, within that group.
You don't think the degree of activity across the nation has been noteworthy? Including outsiders coming into Ferguson? And the level of organization demonstrated, as well as the political support for the cause, eg staying the course.
All just a bunch of disorganized hoodlums? Really....
With respect to your nuanced 'tinfoil' 'loopy' appellation for me, well, it takes one to know one, so there! QED
What, they're giving up support for Garner? (Actually my first was a rhetorical question.)
Nation-wide 'demonstrations' and calls for (and acts of) violence against the police. Supported indirectly by the president and his cronies?
I remember the riots in the 60s. You must be older than me by far.
Wadcutter was banned permanently because he is a troll and a shill of a previously banned member.
I'm from Alabama, and not even I like Booker T Washington, that would tell you to take a slap with a smile rather that duck, or slap back. He was a timid leader. Du Bois had the right of it.
And how is this related to the collective problem we all are experiencing. Why point out ONE group, and ignore the others?
I realized after posting that I should have added some explanation. It is the ideology and methodology that remains unchanged. There are plenty more people than blacks who embody that ideology and methodology, and who have as their aim chaos that would bring our Republic asunder.
To me no one has pointed out the obvious.
Sharpton incited blacks and whites that were willing to follow his mob mentality into a frenzy of chants to kill cops...and guess what happened...! The president as well as and mayor De Blasio refused to support our system of law and order. Both grand juries found no reason to pursue charges of the officers involved. The leaders of our country as well as specific communities refused to support those grand juries, opening up the opportunities for race baiters such as Sharpton and a Holder to advance their convoluted agendas. Sharpton, Obama, Holder and De Blasio are just as responsible for the murder of those 2 NYPD officers as the thug who pulled the trigger.
No, the nutcase who pulled the trigger is responsible for the murders. And curious, what actions or words do you think allows you have the view that Sharpton, Obama, Holder, and De Blasio are at fault?

The minute the animals shoot an innocent or an officer, the area should be carpet bombed.

They refused to do this, they refused to calm people down, they refused to even try and create some sense of law and order.
