The attacks against the men and women that dedicate their lives to serve and protect this nation are officially out of control, and President Barack Obama still refuses to say Blue Lives Matter.
On Wednesday, deputy Jack Hopkins, 31, was responding to a disturbance call in Northern California and was tragically shot to death — marking the state’s fourth law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in just two weeks.
Hopkins’ shooting death comes after two Palm Springs police officers were recently shot and killed during a domestic disturbance call and a Los Angeles County sheriff’s sergeant was gunned down in the high desert town of Lancaster while answering a burglary call.
In an attempted assassination on Monday, a man wearing body armor pointed an assault rifle at two police officers in a California Starbucks, upon which his weapon jammed and the cops were able to take him down.
But California isn’t the only state where brutal attacks on officers are occurring. This is a national epidemic that needs to be addressed.
Early Sunday, an 11-year veteran of the Fairbanks Police Department in Alaska, Sgt. Allen Brandt, was brutally attacked by Anthony George Jenkins. The 19-year-old Alaskan man opened fire on the officer, took his gun, stomped on his head and taunted him as the officer stood and tried get away from this madman. Luckily, he was successful and is recovering in a local hospital.
On October 6th, St. Louis County Officer Blake Snyder, 33, was fatally shot point-blank after encountering a man accused of causing a disturbance in a normally quiet, middle-class suburban neighborhood in Green Park, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said.
Last week, two Boston officers were shot and wounded while responding to a report of a person with a gun, said police. Richard Cintolo, a 27-year veteran and father of three, and Matt Morris, a 12-year veteran, who in 2006 won the Hanna Medal of Honor, the state’s highest award for police bravery, were initially in critical condition and thankfully are now recovering.
This fight against law and order has spiraled so out of control, ever those that support police officers are being targeted.
In Alabama on October 12th, four black men were arrested for brutally attacking a white teenager for saying, “Blue Lives Matter” in front of them. 17-year old Brian Ogle was beaten so badly, he had to be hospitalized for serious head injuries.
While Obama is never shy to speak out against the fatal shootings by police officers, he is eerily silent during the targeted killings of cops and those who support them.
No one should ever be punished for protecting our nation or supporting those who do. While this seems like it should be common sense to any proud American, our own President is completely ignoring the issue, and subsequently devaluing the lives of true American heroes everyday.
Is it time for Obama to say, “Blue lives matter”? Comment below.

Steve says
The reason he wont say because he is a Black Muslim and does not care about the people that serve this country and protects the cities, counties and state. He only cares for HIS people (BLM).
Robert Early says
Obama will believe, if and when a civil war is necessary. He’ll gain first hand information and knowledge. I’m investing in rope manufacturers only because we don’t have anyone making guillotines.
Nellie says
And Muslim people. There is good and bad in every race but allowing refugees into our country without extensive back ground check is causing these terrors attacks. My area in CA, refugees settled in San Diego county and our CA government didn’t consider we are under mandatory water and how much water it would take for 65, 000 refugees. How many of these refugees are terrors? . Drug gangs taken over towns. When they are captured, booked and turned over to BP, booked and turned over to ICE who transports them to another neighborhood, maybe yours?! Open borders is not in our laws. Everyone is suppose to come in through agency with a visa. This open borders is causing our county to be invaded by criminals and the home country don’t want them back. These criminals are from all over the world. Our community has more crime in last 8 years than the 35 years. I am reminded by Deputy to keep alarm on all the time, don’t open door to strangers, don’t go out at night. If stranded lock doors and call deputy. We have had murder, rape, home invasions, people beat up, shootings, stolen merchandize from other counties, small town taken over by drug gang, burned homes, homes stripped, kidnapping. Fraud in Welfare and Food stamps! Foster care. Our Deputies are trying to do their best and Every life matters. Obama is the one that gave the jobs to refugees that were in black communities. Obama is one that didn’t give black people free college! Muslim refugees got that too. Don’t forget those cops are sometimes black. Our country is under a very serious invasion of illegal and Trump is the only one that’s telling the truth. Our police and Border Patrol want our country safe, they want to be safe. No more refugees or illegals. I want to be safe.
Trump for president.
Kenneth phillips says
I could not have said it better. Fact’s are fact’s, and it is not going to be solved by trying to play ‘ let’s pretend ‘ . I have been hassled by the cop’s on more than a few time’s, when I was homeless, but most of the time the street cop’s where not to blame. I blame the corrupt politicians in city Hall and the legislature for the abuse I have suffered from them. The big shot’s seem to think that they’re being on top is a law of nature, and that they can’t be bought down.
They don’t want to read history books. Every revolution in history has been made inevitable by the fool’s in power thanking that. It is always their opinion that it can’t happen here, or to me, because I’m me. Which is bullshit!
maple creek says
TRUMP IS OUR ONLY HOPE. HOW COULD ANYBODY IN THERE RIGHT MIND VOTE FOR HILLARY. LIES,LIES AND ALL PROVEN. HOW ABOUT THE DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH HILLARY. OBAMA VOTED IN TWICE, NAME ONE GOOD THING HE HAS DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY. OUR POLICE IS BEING DEGRADED BY OBAMA AND HILLARY AND YOU HAVE SEEN THIS FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS. ONLY GOD KNOWS WHATS COMING TO US .
WHEN YOU VOTE ( USE SOME COMMON SENSE) IF YOU HAVE ANY??
Dplpres Lopez says
actually george soros pays blm. but obamas life doednt matter to me.. its obama, loretta lynch, al sharpton. add the fbi and you have all the people trying to get killery in office. Hell she a bigger abd older crook than they are. TRUMP 2016 lets get our country back.
Peter Joffe says
Obama is better off without a strong police force. When the time comes for Islam to take over the USA Obama wants us weak and defenseless as does Killery, corrupt Clinton. Obamas final goal is and always has been a USA caliphate with him as chief rapist organizer.
Rudy says
If you’re scared of the job , quit and find something more fitting for you like being a manager at a quick mart .
Mark Vigario says
With the economic chaos in America Blue Lives do matter. Police officers are in a cauldron of what is growing into a society of hate. This isn’t what you want to hear, but it is a sad reality.
DRD5508 says
This is what Hillary will continue as she has no respect for Law as does Obama.
Our prayers are with you men and women in blue.
cynthia laswell says
Of course she doesn’t, remember she’s above the law. She’s such a piece of garbage.
Rob says
I agree 100% !
Without these brave officers, we would have anarchy.
This all fits to a Hillary agenda quite well. Disarm the American citizen’s so they cannot defend themselves.
Make it so the cops that protect us will leave the job.
What is next? The pukes from BLM will be armed. They will attack white people. The radical Muslims will attack us and since we have no guns,we can’t even contest what our govt is doing and we will live in Tyrany!
Rudy says
Looks like you have it all planned out .
Robert Powers says
Of course Barack Hussein Obama will never, cannot, and won’t say that Blue Lives matter! Within the tenets of his religious beliefs they are included as the Infidel! When this type of incident occurs he probably heads for his private room in the White House and drops to his knees on his monogrammed prayer rug!1
yogiman says
I believe this is an obvious plan to declare martial law just before the election day to keep control over the nation. (time will tell). Obama obviously usurped that office with no thought of ever leaving it; and he had the aid and abettment of congress.
Obama advertised he was born in Kenya in 1991 when he was promoting a book about himself titled “Dreams from My Father. A British subject is not a natural born citizen of the USA. So why was he not questioned by the senate when they questioned John McCain? To put this nation under control of a [one world government] through the United Nations.
Jean Bonnell says
OBama will NEVER say Blue lives matter because he has been brain (??????) washed too long by that so called preacher under who’s ranting he sat for years also that Godless Lewis Farrakhan, black panther, radical America Hater and riot enabler who has been a pretty regular visitor to the White House—we all know what that preacher taught and this Farrakhan spews nothing but hate for the whole White race and America–especially the law enforcement agencies. OBama has as yet to call any of these people Racists. Why I ask you? one reason only. because he and that wife of his, head the list and they hate the law enforcement, and all Whites period!!!
James Nice says
I think it’s deplorable that Obama chooses to remain silent on these matters. After all, it seems that he’s more interested in perceptions despite the fact that he is a lame duck. Shameful. Certainly NOT a commander
in chief!!!
larry bee says
Things will only get worse if Hillary ends up in the White House. She has no respect for the laws in this country, why would she ever enforce them?
William A. Spencer says
ALL LIVES MATTER and THOSE WHO ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO WEAR BLUE AND PROTECT THE REST OF US, SHOULD BE HONORED AND PROTECTED AS SHOULD OUR MILITARY AND VETERANS! KILLARY AND OBUMMER HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OUR POLICE, MILITARY, or VETERANS AND HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING COMMANDER IN CHEIF!!!!!
Rich says
I just ask that we all stick together.
Andy Buckmichael says
Nice shot.
Willy Mamfredi says
The Democrats depend on the minorities to vote for them and will never do the right thing if there is a possibility that they will alienate them. They know that Conservatives will not vote for them so their opinions are ignored. I am confident in a Trump win, in fact I have £10 at odds of 9to2 on it, my friend has bet £100.
SGZ says
Wake up America. Read the communist rules. They take over governments by taking over the media, check; eroding authority (the police), check; dividing the people (Black Lives Matter, Islamic Terrorists), check; putting closet communists in seats of power, check; making the people poor with high taxes, getting rid of jobs, entitlements, bringing in more people to burden the system, check; dumb down and indoctrinating the population by taking over the education system (common core, controlling the curriculum and controlling college courses). An outsider to the system like Trump is hope for our Republic. I pray it’s not our only hope.
doc says
Don’t forget KKK in Skinheads
Larry says
If Killary is put in the Presidency, things that matter and law and order will be whose quicker on the trigger. Her thug supporters or our men in uniform?
natalie Eyman says
no, Hillary will never supporters men and women in uniform, we must have Trump for change America to be safe, I believe all that cop killer should be death penalty.
Jean Bonnell says
Anyone who harbors one of these murdering cowards, that is exactly what they are, slimy murdering COWARDS, because they hide in ambush or sneak up on a patrolman sitting alone in a parked patrol car and shoot them in the head—STINKING SLIMY , COWARDLY SLIME!!!–anyone helping them should get the death penalty right along with them–ANYONE!!! These disgusting thugs are nothing but cowards, afraid to come out in the open daylight and if they do, their whole community comes out calling foul if they are shot. Someone please explain this to me, they come out to murder in cold blood and if they get shot by an officer defending himself–they riot. This is what I call a non reasoning, racist minded, follow the crowd mentality, unable to use common judgement–just an animal pack mentality, non thinkers and they will never get any where in life, because they have as of yet learned about common justice for a murder.
Justin W says
Every day law enforcement officers go to work with the realization that one failure to notice or react to a threat in a timely manner could end their life. This is the dangers of their workplace.
I don’t want to see innocent people gunned down by the police, but we need to realize that when stopped by a law enforcement officer we need to comply with their orders. Those who are participating in the protests and acts of violence related to police shooting victims should consider how our world would work if there was no police. We would live in a brutal world that was strictly survival of the fittest. We would quickly find that there was someone meaner and badder than us who would have no problem taking all we own, including our life.

Sharon S. says
This just means Obama is an ignorant fool and doesn’t need to be in the office of the President.
LAH053 says
As a medically retired police officer ( due to line of duty injuries), I absolutely believe there is a war on officers nationwide perpetrated by a president and a crooked Justice Department who would rather import more ISLAMIC terrorists into America than openly condemn these attacks. Clinton and Obama have turned their backs on this segment of the nation in favor of a bunch of hoods, gang bangers, thieves, drug dealers and cold blooded killers. These actions should be condemned immediately as they happen not after days and weeks have passed. Where is the anger at these types of people from democrats, I will tell you as these criminals are a good portion of their voting block and help others who are not eligible to vote steal out elections. I say to you get out the legitimate vote and we need to try to save out country. I personally don’t care for Trumps antics but I cannot stand by and let A LIAR, THIEF and FELON get elected. The mob has nothing on Hillary she is better organized than they are she even has a crooked FBI director and Attorney General in her hip pocket. not to mention she has a good chance to stack the Supreme Court against the U.S. Constitution destroying the 1st and 2nd amendments!!
Nellie says
You age right and she owes Obama. She could appoint him Supreme Court. Muslims in our SUPREME COURT Government isn’t a good idea. I think our Republican party is going to be gone as I am fed up with them. They are not backing Trump. I had a choice in election! Romney or Obama, I voted Romney but that was a rigged voting. Romney rolled over for Obama. Same with McCain! No backbone. Maybe the people that could take Hillary down don’t want to end up dead. The Clinton have a lot of bodies around them. God bless our country.
My Deputies are close to borders and its one big mess. They need lots of prayers.
Nathan says
Until those no good pieces of Sh****T get out and or are not voted in the white house and congress,and i am talking about those career political leaches such as Killery Rotten Clinton who thrive on creating turmoil among us Americans so we do not see how much of an idiot,liar, thief, killer of good men, and who thinks her husband should be back in the white house so to abuse and rape women again. She needs to be put in jail or caged just like the mad dog bitch she is. Should she win there will be unfettered chaos in America. Just the Blacks have tried to show they are the only one’s who count. Look out when the whites, asians, indians,etc. all do the same and turn their backs on the goverment. What can a few people in washington do. Nothing. And the one’s in washington who created this mess by dividing america so as to win, will be hunted down and harshly dealt with by the same people who voted them in. the old saying “What goes around, comes Around”. Look out Killery, Your time is a coming for the 4 lives in Libya you so thoughtlessly did not care about. Only your image counted. You belong in Prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
female tax payor says
Dem. state with highest population of illegals… no brainer who’s pushing the un-American “violence” and “death” war on America’s soil against Law, Order & the American way. Vote them OUT!!! & then we can rope them up & remove their trigger happy sickos from our society.
Ann Parsons says
Blue Lives do Matter. Most of us of with Concealed Handgun Licenses will always have their backs!
Kenneth phillips says
You are right! When they are enforcing the law’s, and using their armoury in a proper way, they should be backed up and obeyed. Of course, when they use it improperly, they have to be treated just like any other criminal.
kirk kahler says
in short Obama started this with the backing of BLM and what better way to finish what he started then to have cops under fire from every one that thinks it is ok !! this is sad it has even come to my state here in Alaska !!
Oren says
The Democrats, the liberal media and Hollywood are the root of this problems because of the blind support of the racial terrorists in Black Lives Matter. He is not the president of the people of the United States. He does not represent the people. He represents a small percentage of black America, namely the violent thugs (he could have been my son), Islamic terrorists, atheists and all the various alphabet strange groups in the country (lgbtwxyz). The rest of us, regardless of race, he does not represent. Hillary will be a repeat of this strategy on steroids.
SW says
My suggestion to obama is he can respond to the calls and bore them to death with speeches.
Audrey Cochran, RN says
This is a time for fervent prayer that the good Lord will send revival and save our country and its constitution. My favorite bible verse is “In everything God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.” And that certainly does not include cutting up unborn babies and selling their body parts which Hilary thinks is fine. If that is stopped, and other stupid ideas like Obama’s “walking gun” program which increased violence, we wouldn’t have to import workers or “offshore production like we are now doing.
DBMagnum says
This is why I’m moving from
“Crazyfornia” to North Carolina. They have a concealed carry law that works well!!!!! As to another officer down…..
Sounds like it’s time to lock & load!!!!!
They’ve got their job to do, but our job is to have their back just for situations as this!!!!!!!
Richard Sabaski says
It’s is time to start executing cop killers and mandatory jail time for rioters and looters
Nellie says
Won’t happen under Obama or Hillary
Paul Bouffard says
OUR PRESIDENT INVITES BLACK LIVES MATTER TO THE WHITE HOUSE ( p i g s i n a blanket fry them like bacon ) HE IS IN DEEP WITH BLACK PANTHERS & BLACK LIVES MATTER THEY WILL MAKE CERTAIN KILLARY WINS THE ELECTION NOW AS AN ATTEMP TO STOP POLICE KILLINGS OUR REPRESENTATIVES MUST PASS L A W MAKING THE DEATH OF AN OFFICER BY AN ASSAILANT PUNISHABLE BY D E A T H YES DEATH PENALTY
CandidLady says
Obama will never say “Blue Lives Matter because he and his friends have broke so meny laws they are to paranoid to say it because they are to afraid.
Lois Coleman says
Kansas Sunflower: How would Obama feel if someone took out his Body Guards? I never thought he would last six months and he has made twelve years and how people could have been stupid enough to put him in twice blows my mind. Now we are paying the price again! I loved Hilary comments about babyies getting ahold of guns and shooting adults or their siblings. Does she really think that is the problem? Talk that way but be fore Abortion? We were trained in birth control when I was growing up and that worked just fine.The 200,000 young men who were let across the border to become citizens have added that many to the already active gangs we had. Violence will continue to grow and in my opinion at this point every “BLUE” has the right to protect him self (as we should too) and shoot first. Hanging was good in the old days and look how other countries have taken care of their problems. Shackled in the town square where people could throw things at them and ridicule them.
There is a lot to say about the old days. But this is a new progressive, high tech world we live in now and that should be better. But its not………………GOD HELP US! MAYBE WE TOOK GOD OUT OF TOO MANY THINGS. Because of a few we lost much.
John G. says
And it all began with O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clowns beer summit.
Jerome says
All Lives Matter!Rather it is a innocent civilian that is shot down like a dog and was unarmed or was simply trying to get to where they were going and was stopped by a scare, pretentious cop and was murdered or a young teen of any color that lost their life behind a bad human being hiding behind a BLUE uniform. No cop or any person should be Murdered in cold blood. So this narrative goes both ways. Obama saying blue lives matter or black lives matter isn’t going to change one thing in this nation. Only a return to the roots of this nation will, GOD Almighty! There is a MORAL decade happening in this nation! Blame the liberal, left so called wing people whom have No sense of Morals or anything. Change your hearts and minds toward each other than healing will start.
AW says
HIL-LIAR-Y DOES NOT SUPPORT COPS……..SHE SHOULD GO TO HELL………I WOULDN’T SEND COPS TO AREAS PRONE TO RIOTS & DESTRUCTION WHEN THEY WANT THEIR WAY……IE: BLACK LIVES MATTER GANGS & OBAMA PROMOTING VIOLENCE ON AMERICANS.
iris cross says
MANDATORY DEATH TO PEOPLE THAT KILL POLICEMAN

forget about his comment his ass needs to be ripped apart and thrown out of the States back to where he came from the middle east.
