Supporting only those who live & die in service of white domination: Missouri Governnor (D) quick to issue statement on NYPD Killing, not as fast on civilian death of Unarmed Black Teen in his home state
/From [HERE] Last Saturday, two non-white New York City police officers lost their lives in what appears to have been a targeted, premeditated action rooted in outrage over the well-publicized killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, unarmed Black males killed by white law cops.
Racist suspect Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was quick to comment on the tragedy. He issued the following statement Sunday morning, about 20 hours after the officers were shot to death:
“My deepest condolences go out to the families and loved ones of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. Violence against police officers simply cannot be tolerated – ever – and I stand with all Americans in condemning this unspeakable and cold-blooded act. Our law enforcement officers have earned our respect and gratitude for the difficult, dangerous and important work they do each and every day. As we mourn the loss of these brave officers, I ask Missourians to join me in taking the time to reflect on the sacrifices our men and women in law enforcement make to protect and serve our communities.”
He followed it up with this tweet:
Working on a weekend, no less. That's an interesting contrast to Nixon's response to the events in Ferguson. For several days, the governor was completely M.I.A. following the slaying of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer. Only after it became clear that the city was about to burn to the ground did Nixon deign to abandon his photo-op speaking schedule to go do his job.
