A real president would call for an immediate moratorium on BLM protests. This is way beyond free speech - this is terrorism & cold blooded murder.

O is responsible for letting things get this far as are all that promote extreme BLM events and its dangerous rhetoric - O's lawlessness reaches far and wide.

Top police group wants Justice to investigate Dallas police killings as hate crime

Published July 10, 2016 FoxNews.com

The Fraternal Order of Police, the country’s largest group of sworn law-enforcement officers, is asking the Justice Department to “immediately” investigate the killing of five Dallas police officers as a hate crime.

“The U.S. Department of Justice is always quick to insert itself into local investigations,” group President Chuck Canterbury said Friday. “Today we expect action just as swift. We want a federal investigation into those who were motivated by their hatred of police to commit mass murder in Dallas.”

Police say the shooter in Thursday’s attack, Micah Johnson, a 25-year-old black Army veteran, was angry about two recent incidents in which a police officer fatally shot a black male.

And Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Johnson, killed by officers in a standoff, “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

However, the Justice Department’s definition of a hate crime is limited to bigotry, violence or intimidation based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability, despite the police group trying to get attacks on police officers addded to the list.

“If there has ever been an assassination of police officers that fits the current hate crime legislation, Dallas is it,” Canterbury told National Public Radio on Friday. “Though the main offender is dead, the hate crime investigation will show to the Justice Department and to the country that this was a hate-based crime.”

Police have said the Johnson acted alone. Three others were taken into custody amid the chaos and reports of multiple shooters. However, police have not updated their situation.

That Johnson died in the attack and apparently acted alone could also hurt the police group’s efforts to get the Justice Department to investigate the shootings as a civil rights violation or hate crime.

However, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has suggested the investigation is far from over, telling reporters that police will “continue down every rabbit trail until they're exhausted, ensuring that we eliminate any other possible suspects or co-conspirators who may have aided this gunman in anyway.”

“A hate crime is simply a crime that is committed based on the bias of the offender,” Canterbury also told NPR. “In the Dallas case, it's obvious that it fits within the umbrella because the individual has made statements to police that he wanted to kill white policemen. … That's why we've asked for a change in the federal hate crime law.”

The Justice Department didn’t directly answer a question Friday by FoxNews.com about whether the agency would investigate the Dallas shootings as a hate crime or civil rights violation.

“The Department of Justice -- including the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Attorney’s Office -- is working closely with our state and local counterparts, and we intend to provide any assistance we can to investigate this attack,” spokesman David Jacobs said.

In recent years, the agency has indeed started civil rights or hate crime investigations in high-profile cases in which a black male died when in contact with police.

Last year, the agency investigated the death of Freddie Gray, a black male who apparently was seriously injured while riding unrestrained in a Baltimore City Police wagon, then died seven days later.

The agency also investigated the 2014 incident in Ferguson, Mo., in which unarmed black teen Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer.

Both incidents touched off violent and destructive riots, but the agency did not file charges in either case.

On Saturday, President Obama declined to answer a reporter’s question about whether he thought the Dallas attack was hate crime.

“It’s very hard to interpret the motives of this shooter, as we have seen in a host of mass shootings,” he said.

The whole structure and motivation of "Hate Crime" legislation has absolutely nothing to do with anything except political motivations and political correctness protecting politically established victims and aggressors. None of the suspects will ever be charged with Hate Crimes.

Muslims practicing terrorism are likewise legal candidates for Hate Crime prosecution, but this will also never happen and we are certain to see this attack was Muslim orchestrated. If a prosecution of a Hate Crime is involved, it is more likely to be motivated to obscure Muslim involvement. If they refuse to prosecute for a Hate Crime, it is likely to be because the Muslim connection is too hard to obscure. It is true that Hate Crime prosecution generally obscures the actual crime committed.

Hate Crime legislation is nothing more than a legal prop to advance and defend corrupt social constructions and protect from them scrutiny. It's true,

Truth is the new Hate Crime.

But truth as a Hate Crime was always the intended target from the very first Hate Crime statute.

Better to say,

Truth is the real victim in the prosecution of any Hate Crime.
