Okay, let's be honest instead of politically correct once in a while. Some people really don't like order. They prefer chaos. Some flourish in chaos. I prefer order. Are all cops good? maybe not, but in my 50 years, I have interacted with them a few times, and I obeyed their instructions. No problems.
Lord knows that I am opposed to political correctness because it is a form of Progressive thought policing.
What I am saying is that direct accusations were, at this moment, not the best tool in the Lt. Governor's inventory. Shame via praise would've been more effective.
But I get emotions. And no, I'm not in the least offended. I'll bet he's a fantastic Lt. Governor given how well Texas is run these days.

I agree, PC is bs.....a way of basically LYING by sugar coating hard facts (not telling the ultimate/pure truth). I will never be PC and those who ask me to be PC will NEVER change me muhuahahaha....as I always say the Truth hurts but it's good for you in the long run....sort of like a mental vaccination....initial hurt but better for you in the long run......
Very ironic words from an elected official who has sworn to uphold the Constitution.
Those people were peacefully and lawfully exercising their Constitutional rights. He should have shown appreciation for the fact that they are law abiding citizens. But in this day and age of right wing political correctness, it is always so acceptable to blame victims for the fate they suffer and that is why he uttered for those words.

I think most of them were peaceful but there were a handful of tools in the crowd trying to incite violence (probably paid shills by soros) and some said they even rejoiced when the cops were shot......The protestors were mostly peaceful but there were a few bad apples scattered around there.....I think the Lt. Gov. spoke stupidly about running from bullets....i mean duh any human worth his brain would run away from bullets when he's being shot at....his comment was moronic....

Since when is being politically correct synonymous with being a divider?
If being a unifier and pointing out to the protestors that it was the cops that ran towards gunfire while they were running away is considered "politically correct"... then who could possibly object to that and why?
One can still NOT be politically correct while also NOT calling the protestors "hypocrites". Not being politically correct somehow means you can be ignorant and say divisive things. Why perpetuate hate and contention when we can unite together under love and recognition that the majority of cops are willing to lay down their own life for the people they are sworn to protect and serve?

You have a point here. I've seen too many people who blame the victims for the unjust consequences they received.
The peaceful protestors were abiding by the law of the land in their march. If I'm mislead or misunderstanding, someone please correct me and fix my ignorance... but were the protestors marching because they don't want any cops or because of the recent police killings?
If it's true that the protestors were chanting "WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE COPS PERIOD!" or something to that affect, then I can get "they need a dose of truth" response to Dan Patrick calling them hypocrites. However, this is not the case! If it is, please post evidence that suggests protestors wanting no more cops at all.

I never understood the outrage over the Sterling killing, honestly. The video seemed pretty clear.
Sterling wasn't complying with the officers. He appeared (to me) to be resisting while on the ground. He had a weapon which he is not allowed to have as he's a felon.
Did he deserved to get shot a million times? Maybe not, but I sympathize with the officers as they were trying to disable the man prior to resorting to offensive lethal force.
However, the Castile shooting has me choked up. I have no idea what to believe anymore. I wish they release audio... and if it turns out the officer was justified, Black Lives Matters needs to own this publicly. If it turns out the officer was unjustified, the authorities need to own this publicly as well. We need reunification and that can only come from accountability and transparency.

Very fair sir ..and if we are going to change things in America, it will take folks on the left and right..willing to look at things in truth. I know for myself, I would love to see more accountability for the police ..but no way is now the time to make that the issue of what is going on..because its not. This is about politics and race-bating and the criminal culture that is trying to take over our society. When folks like Hillary are above the law and everybody sees it ..then people react with lawless behavior.

Oh my... of course the divisiveness has already begun. Be it the cops who started it or the people... it's not about perpetuating division.
A state leader, such as Dan Patrick, ought to be the unifier. To sugar-coat or ignore his divisive and ignorant message of calling the protestors "hypocrites" cannot be justified because "the divisiveness has already begun." No kidding it's already begun, it's time to put an end to it though... isn't reunification the goal in which to put an end to it? Wasn't the brave men and women in blue running towards gunfire the perfect opportunity to show the protestors that the majority of cops will lay down their life to protect their community? What better way is there to reunify two divided sides than this? Instead... he is perpetuating the division and you say it's because it's "already begun".

I didn't see your post about Obama playing politics and making this about gun-control or the many liberals who turned the recent events into another race baiting session? I don't even know that this Lt Gov said anything out of the way ..but like always the speech police on the left, ignore all the real hate speech and divisive talk on the left and try to make up some supposed offense by some conservative?
