Police Union Pres Calls Tamir Rice A ‘Thug’

Posted by | January 1, 2016 13:43 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly


This is how the Miami police union president talks about a 12-year-old fatally shot for having a toy gun.

Javier Ortiz added that the shooting of Rice, who died in November 2014 while playing with a toy gun, was fully justified, according to the Miami New Times.

“Act like a thug and you’ll be treated like one,” Ortiz wrote on Twitter during a debate, the New Times reported.

The case has been widely discussed since a grand jury announced Dec. 28 it would not bring criminal charges against the two officers involved.

“Mr. Rice wasn’t your neighborhood kid running around with a water gun. He was brandishing and pointing a pellet gun in which the orange tip was removed,” Ortiz told the New Times. “As tragic as the situation is, I support those in law enforcement that had to make a split-second decision in protecting themselves and the community.”

    This is the banner on the Miami FOP webpage. Javier Ortiz (aka the dickbag in this story) is the webmaster. It’s quite obvious how these thugs in uniform view themselves.

      who just in the fuck do they think they’re protecting the public from? looks like the public should be the ones protecting themselves from them.

    STOP SPENDING

    This is serious business. The American people should demand that Thug Cops stop killing the Black peoples and the way we do that is to not buy stuff that you don’t need,That is the power we have.” Why are you going out your way to go broke on a Man made Holiday? He is getting rich and you are getting poor for a Man made Holidays. He is laughing all the way to the Bank.

    Sweetest Day is a holiday celebrated on the third Saturday in October. 11 states and parts of two states observe Sweetest Day: Since Sweetest Day was invented by The White Men (candymakers,greeting card flowers etc.)commercial interests which stood to profit from such a holiday.(not you)

    Valentine’s Day themed advertisements encouraging spending on loved ones.

    Easter is the day when we celebrate Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Jesus is the Son of God and heroically gave His life to die for our sins. On the third day after He died — the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday — Not going out to buy things to get poorer, making somebody else rich. It don’t cost a dime to celebrate God,Jesus.

    Holidays do not mean be stupid. Put your money in to something that’s going to make you money.

    Celebrate Jesus for Christmas and Christmas don’t mean go out and spend money you don’t have.You giving your money to people that’s not helping you. Buy yourself some education stop being stupid. Show yourself you know it not helping you in anyway. Stop going out buy things you don’t need.

    Jews,Indian, Chinese,Muslims and Asian don’t go out and Celebrate Christmas where they go out and spend their Money they make money on this Day don’t you want to be on the side that’s making MONEY.

    If you the Money maker you will be able to stop the Thug Cops and the black on black killing of Black children,mothers,fathers and grandchildren.

    That is the power we have.”

    The very model of the useful idiot. Mein Trumpf would be proud.

    He has to be a f*cking RWNJ to call a twelve year old a thug.

  6. Sherry Buckner January 2nd, 2016 at 18:39

    WE have a right to demand an end to policies that allow cops to commit murder by claiming a 12 year old deserves to be shot within seconds of seeing him!

    Grow some balls… Next you’ll be shooting little girls with crayons… Try fearing for your useless lives as kindergarten teachers… At least they won’t be so threatening…

    Police nowadays are embarrassing… The cowards aren’t JUST killing unarmed black people…

    I agree with her. Christians around the world are forced to swear allegiance to Flags far less corrupt than Ours. Christians have also watched their children slaughtered before their eyes for not bowing to Caesar and to Rome. The US Constitution does not require YOU to say the Pledge, then why should you?! She’s the Patriot here… And, yes, I say the Pledge every chance I get. Sometimes spontaneously… ;-) Mr. Ortiz may be the “thug”.

    I guess all you crybabies would be singing a different tune if Rice had a real gun and shot and killed the officer. He didn’t call em personally a thug. He siad act like a thug be treated like one. What is the cop supposed to do wait and see if the gun is real and be shot dead????

    • Hirightnow February 4th, 2016 at 17:09

      What if.
      What if the officer had taken 15 seconds to tell the child to drop the TOY gun?
      This is an old thread, so it’s doubtful anyone else will engage you here, so just let me say “Welcome to alan.com, and never come back.”.
