FBI Director Continues Blaming 'Viral Videos' For Murder Spike In Some Cities

2016-05-13

Excerpt: [Huffpoo] At the briefing with reporters, Comey said he didn't know for sure what was driving a spike in homicides in some cities.

"It could be it's simply a collection of individual factors in different cities," Comey said in response to a question from The Huffington Post. "It's hard for me to believe that there isn't something broad that's affecting it, but maybe it could be. Maybe the reason that we're seeing a jump in homicide in different cities all over the county is driven by factors in those particular areas."'
Obviously we can't blame the White House lack of support for law enforcement and it's changing attitude regarding criminal activity. Let's just go with 'videos.' It worked fine for Benghazi.

#9 A guy that has never put handcuffs on someone giving us his opinion how to be a cop... If Comey wants to know the score, all he has to do is lower himself to asking the poor old beat cop what is going on... Maybe the FBI Director can use his massive investigative skills to find one of those elusive beat cops...I'll give him a tip - they drive go-fast cars, clearly identified with markings and lights and sirens - on patrol 24 hours a day in any of the cities that he seems so clueless about.

#6 I blame affirmative actions mayors and DAs. But then, I've been, officially, a racist since 1975. And a misogynist (a "vive la difference" enthusiast) since 1974.

#5 Like the enormous struggle with the issue of the Bell Curve in academia, certain things that are factual lead to conclusions that are apostasy in the liberal mind. Thus, since the criminal justice system has disproportional convictions of minorities to their demographic percentages, there are two possible reasons. Either they are disproportionately criminal in behavior, or the system is racist and selectively chooses them. Since the former is an unacceptable truth, it must be the latter, and everything must be bent to fit that conclusion. To disagree to to be branded racist, a sin greater than theft or violence since it is a sin of hate, not avarice.
Causation for the behavior, like the 70+% illegitimacy rate, welfare matriarchy, alternative culture symbolism, victimhood thinking, the absence of shame, government subsidy, none of these things which contribute to the forbidden rationale are examined since they do not support the acceptable thought.

#4 Shootings are up, but property crime is down. Many of the homicides are in Chicago, Baltimore, and D.C. Apparently following the news is not Mr. Comey's strong suit.

"It could be it's simply a collection of individual factors in different cities"

More a matter of individual... demographics.

#3 To suggest that Comey doesn't know "for sure" what is taking place is beyond ludicrous. His statement moves him to the category of willing facilitator.

#2 The unsaid: all these cities are run by Democrats, progressives and/or liberals?

#1 Director Comey, please meet Sheriff Babeu. Sheriff Babeu, please meet Director Comey.
