Police Chief Posts the Truth, Forced to Retire

[n david]

Surf City Police Chief Mike Halstead:

Open letter from a Police Chief , this Black Lives Matter group is nothing more than an American born terrorist group brought on by the lie of the hands up don't shoot during the criminal thug Michael Brown incident. The FBI and other Government Law Enforcement groups need to step up and put a stop to this. The Government and blacks would not tolerate the White Supremacist group to march through the streets and call for the murders of a race of people and a group of public servants. I agree there is a race problem in this country. It is not brought on by police officer doing their sworn duty, it is brought on by the government, the President and his cronies Al Sharpton, who is a criminal tax evader (but has the support of our so called President), Jessi Jackson, Eric Holder and that ignorant S.O.B. Farrakhan who should be charged with solicitation for murder, lord knows a white man would be arrested for the same actions of idiot Farakhan. I am sure there are many hard working Black people who will agree with me. I have been a Police Officer for 35 years. I do not judge anyone by the color of their skin, but by there actions. A criminal is a criminal whether a police officer or any other profession. I will not state statistics because black lives matter do not care or believe proven statistics. I put allot of the blame for these cop murders on the media and the way they report police related shootings. There is no need to list or even state the race of a person shot by the police. It is more important to wait for the facts and report those. But and a big but that does not make money for these greedy media ass holes. When a black thug is killed by the police they are all over it as is Mr. Barack Obama. However when a police officer white, black or any race is murdered for doing his job the media is short with it's reporting or not at all. When a white person is killed by a black officer you hear nothing. Has our so called President spoke publicly about these murders of police officers by blacks, HELL NO he has not. Step up Mr. President, or step down because we do not need you. Has our Attorney General spoke against these murders, no of course not because she was appointed by Barack Obama. Now let me say this, and this is not a threat but common knowledge. I have instructed my officers to be vigilant, if threatened take appropriate action. If that means shoot a thug, then do it and answer for it while you are still alive not dead. Law Enforcement is fed up with this murderous society who want to take out those who protect and serve. Imagine if all law enforcement shut down for just 1 day. There would be murders, rapes, robberies, you name it. America wake up, all of you black, white, Mexican whatever you need the police, we do not need you. End this Black Lives Matter bull ........ and start a movement that all lives matter. As for the New Black Panther movement who wants to kill whites and cops, go for it, we are ready for you. You take one of us and there will be 100 who will step up and end you. This letter is not meant to offend anyone, just the feelings of a man who has spent the last 35 years of his life serving and protecting, for what so a thug can take it or to be treated as a criminal by the very people I swore to protect. Let's get this around folks so maybe our President and the media will get a wake up call. Be safe all of my Brothers and Sisters in blue, not white, black, yellow or brown BLUE.

He didn't mince any words, did he, lol! I can see why this politically incorrect letter would land him in hot water. Where is Surf City?

"Law Enforcement is fed up with this murderous society who want to take out those who protect and serve. "

Mr Po-Po seems to have forgotten who he works for.

Not to mention he's parroting the fake "war on cops" narrative, which tells me he's either dishonest or ignorant. Considering he's in Law Enforcement, I suspect the former.

ya--i feel for good cops right now, but i agree.

i'm not getting why anyone would make mike brown an example, as he was apparently a thug--but cops killing citizens is at a 40 year high, while cop killings are at a 20 year low? I might have the #s reversed, not sure. And crime is at an all time low--so much so that for-profit prisons are suing municipalities for not honoring their commitments to provide enough prisoners.

Actually there has been a surge in violent crime this year.

Baltimore: Shootings up 82.5%
Chicago: Shootings up 40%
NYC: Homicides up 20%
LA: "Violent crimes" up 25%
Dallas: "Violent crimes" up 10%
ATL: Homicides up 32%
Milwaukee: Homicides up 180%

The article link below here says for 2015, violent crimes is up in Phoenix as well, but it gives no percentage of how much it's risen. There is literally at least one shooting in the news every day here now. Just this morning, an officer was almost killed making a routine traffic stop. Fortunately, his vest saved him from the two rounds which hit it.

Property crime has dropped. But what I've read says violent crime has spiked this year.

[Pressing-On]

"I want to thank you all for your support. I was forced to retire or be terminated. I had to beg for a 60 day severance to feed my family.That was the thanks I got from those I thought were family, I was thrown under the bus for expressing my 1st amendment rights and speaking the truth and concerns for law enforcement . I want to thank all of the folks in Surf City for your support. It was my pleasure to serve you. Thank you to my officers for your dedication, I will miss everyone of you. I would like to apologize to my family for letting you down. I also apologize to those I have offended, that was not my intent. I have served proudly for 35 years without a blemish. I guess to some Surf City Leaders that has no meaning. I guess I will learn to eat beanie wienies for a few months. I love you all."

Yeah in Milwaukee we recently passed last years total. The mayor and police chief tried to attribute it at least partially to concealed carry, which became lawful in Wisconsin a few years ago.

"Imagine if all law enforcement shut down for just 1 day."

Didn't the cops in NYC go on strike with a resulting major drop in crimes?

Funny bout that...
