Some spontaneous outrage is planned and coordinated like Ferguson

Woman Carrying Cordless Drill, Believed To Be A Gun, Shot And Killed By San Jose Police

August 14, 2014 

Why didn't this made national news? No. There are two thoughts that immediately arise. First the shooter was an officer named Wakana Okuma. But more significantly it's because the Ferguson inferno was fomented by people who wish to take the real news off the air. Where is the coverage of Ukraine, the Europe-Russia struggle, Syria, Libya (B.O. and Hillary's war), China's arms build up. The media is the band on the Titanic but certainly not heroic.

That Eric Holder' visited  Ferguson and made no contact with the policeman tells you a lot about what kind of chief law enforcement officer he is. A racist ideologue would be a good description. He is the black klan...always getting even.

Woman Carrying Cordless Drill, Believed To Be A Gun, Shot And Killed By San Jose Police

SAN JOSE (KCBS) — A 19-year-old woman was shot and killed by San Jose police Thursday morning after officers responded to a report that she threatened to shoot her family with an Uzi-like weapon, though it was determined she was holding a cordless drill.

Police responded to a report at around 10:36 a.m. that a woman was threatening to shoot her family in the 700 block of Blossom Hill Road near Santa Teresa Boulevard, south of Highway 85.

“We had a call, someone with an Uzi threatening to kill family members,” said San Jose police spokesman Officer Albert Morales.  “A very, very serious situation, a very dangerous situation for our officers.  We had communication with this person.  Unfortunately, at some point those communications either broke down, or the officers felt threatened in some form or fashion and one of the officers discharged their firearm.”  The woman was struck at least one time by gunfire.  She was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced deceased at approximately 12:39 p.m.
