Last year FBI Director James Comey took heavy incoming fire over his remark that a “chill wind” was blowing through law enforcement in the aftermath of Ferguson, Baltimore, and the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement. Yesterday, he doubled down:

The Ferguson Effect is another perfect example of how liberalism fucks over the very people who support it.

They screamed police brutality and get less police protection. What were the odds??

I have no proof of anything.

Logic is racist and facts are nothing but lies.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Republican facts are lies...



Progressive facts just "feel" true.

They think with their hearts instead of their minds.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

No, I think that more and more, they are being ruled by what's between their legs...
