“I would like to make something very clear: Blue Lives Matter!”

“There is no police brutality.”

“The only reason black lives matter to the Left is to secure election majorities at election time. That is the only reason that black lives matter.”

“I'm a cop at heart - it's in my blood.”

“Growing up a career cop, I was always taught, 'Stay out of politics.' I didn't have any particular allegiance to any particular party.”

“We as a people need to declare that we stand with rule of law and not with the false tales of the revolutionary Marxist forces, who most recently have rebranded themselves from Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter.”

“This anti-cop sentiment from this hateful ideology called Black Lives Matter has fueled this rage against the American police officer.”

“The Democrats take the black vote for granted so they don't have to appeal to anything... I haven't heard Mrs. Clinton talk about the urban pathologies in the American ghetto that are the result of progressive urban policies - failed policies.”

“Now, can some cops be overbearing, rude? Yeah. But we have a process for that. Do what the officer tells you to do, and file a complaint. That's the process. You don't attack a police officer on the street or resist arrest because you think you're being hassled.”

“American law enforcement officers understand that race is and has been a heated issue in our country. Most appreciate the vital need for thoroughness and transparency in pursuit of the greater good in their actions and in their investigations.”

“For a label for me, 'conservative' is more appropriate than 'Republican.'”

“Groups like Black Lives Matter, blessed by the progressive Left and most recently our own President Obama, need to be exposed and condemned for their true aims: revolution.”

“Black Lives Matter organizers hold the same values of America's age-old enemies, who have always fought the ideals of our Constitution and our nation. That they have now taken on as their costume a false concern for Black America only adds to their depravity.”
