Quote:Here’s how the NRA finally commented on the killings in Dallas and Minnesota


The National Rifle Association has released two statements regarding the shootings in Dallas and Minnesota that are markedly different in tone. 
The NRA's CEO Wayne LaPierre offered "deep condolences" to the police department in Dallas after five of their officers were killed by a sniper at the end of a downtown protest against police brutality.

When pressed to respond to the death of Philando Castile, a licensed-to-carry gun owner who was killed by Minnesota police during a traffic stop, the NRA gave a less empathetic statement:

The NRA said it supports gun owners of all races, religions, and sexual orientation (we're not sure why this was necessary), before noting the events in Minnesota were "troubling," but they would refrain from commenting until the investigation was over. RR

The NRA waiting for more facts before persecuting a police officer (a mistake that's been made again and again and again in the media the last few years).

How horrible of them.

Back in full GMDabo mode in this thread.


One incident involved a man murdering LEO's. The other two incidents involved deadly force being used by LEO's. As the ability to use deadly force is part of the remit of an LEO their use of deadly force actually has to be investigated before it can be labeled as murder. The piece of shit in Dallas requires no such investigation to reach that determination.

You're cute when you're disingenuous.

I'm always cute.  

But you're still defensive.  Hope you have a better day!

Where is the fake moral outrage the NRA used the shooting in Minnesota to make a political statement about gun control and didn't express any sympathy toward the deceased or the deceased's family?
