A Police Officer Death Fox Blamed On Obama To Be Ruled A Suicide

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on November 04, 2015 · Flag

Remember Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz? He’s one of the recent victims of gun violence that Fox News tried to pin on President Obama and #BlackLivesMatter. But the police officer’s death will soon be ruled a suicide. Think Fox will apologize? Nah, me neither.

As you may recall, Gliniewicz was found dead from two gunshots on September 1, after radioing that he was pursuing on foot some suspects. From FoxNews.com:

He was struck by two rounds, one that hit his ballistic vest with the force of a "sledgehammer" and another that pierced his upper chest, Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Commander George Filenko said at the time.

After Gliniewicz's shooting, a massive manhunt ensued, with hundreds of officers searching houses, cabins and even boats on a chain of area lakes. Authorities released a vague description of three suspects, though no one was ever arrested.

Fox News didn’t need an arrest, much less a trial, to arrive at a guilty verdict.

On the day of Gliniewicz’s death, Fox News host Heather Nauert prodded guest and Republican politico Dan Bongino to discuss a “common thread” between “anti-police rhetoric,” rising crime rates and police shootings.

NAUERT: One, we have the anti-police rhetoric, and some people say, ‘Not, that has nothing to do with the police officer deaths and shootings that have been taking place in this country. But also, there is another story. That is that crime is on the rise, murders in fact, in large cities. Now this is a suburb of the Chicago area, so we’re not talking about right in the city proper of Chicago, but do you see a common thread in these stories, in a sense?

BONGINO:  You know Heather I do and it gives me no joy in saying this …but the man's [Obama] been a complete disgrace when it comes to dealing with police officers and it really gives me no joy in saying that. I know people tend to engage in hyperbolic statements here but it’s just the truth.

How many people are going to have to die? How many police officers, before President Obama has that Sister Souljah moment President Clinton had and he comes out and says enough is enough? We can have a respectful conversation, a dialogue in a free society about the role of policing, liberty and values, investigations into use of force incidents. 

But once people cross the line and start marching on a state fair in Minnesota screaming, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." Where’s the president of the United States here? This a disgrace.

The next day, host Martha MacCallum and contributor Rod Wheeler played the blame game:

MacCallum: “We have seen it’s been a hot summer, a long one for police violence - from people being killed in these incidents and these police officers. We saw a huge outpouring of support. Here are the four individuals that have been lost in just the last nine days. Are we hearing more about these incidents because of what has happened in recent months or is it happening more, Rod?”

WHEELER: … “We have a lot of this anti-police rhetoric going on across this country right now, Martha. That is definitely playing a role in some of these shootings.

… We’re gonna continue to see are these kind of shootings until we hear something come out of the White House and the Justice Department clearly stating that this will not be tolerated and we haven’t heard that yet, Martha, out of anybody at the Justice Department at all.

Authorities are expected to announce that Gliniewicz’s death was a suicide at a news conference on Wednesday.

Don’t hold your breath for an apology to either President Obama or #BlackLivesMatter from Fox News.

You can watch Fox jump to the wrong conclusions below.

Call me surprised, but they actually have this story up on the Faux News website. Waiting to hear if any of the Three Stooges on primetime tonight mention it.

Just came home and had Shep Smith on in the car talking about this. As he interviewed 2 cops who’d investigated the case, his focus was on why it took them so long to determine the death was a suicide when “we, here, said so on Sept. 16th.”

From Anita Hall’s comment:

“How very sad it must be to live a life so full of prejudice that it totally consumes every aspect of ones existence.”

That may be true Anita — BUT I definitely believe one should NEVER, EVER UDERESTIMATE THE IMMENSE POWER AND $$$$ of Herr Goebbels II (i.e. Rupert Murdoch) and his faithful elephant-sized toady Jabba the Ailes (i.e. Roger Ailes).

’Nuff said.

Turns out dude was a crook. Not only that, he staged his suicide to look like murder. Seems he felt the walls were closing in around him…

absolultely. the officer was so distraught by “Black lives matter”, that he committed suicide. Easy Peasy.

It just blows me away to listen to these so-called Christian hypocrites and I can’t help but wonder how they can look at themselves in a mirror and not realize that they too are being judged [by the ultimate Judge]. How very sad it must be to live a life so full of prejudice that it totally consumes every aspect of ones existence. Being so “ugly” doesn’t really leave them much time to enjoy the finer things life has to offer ~ like taking time to smell a rose or smile at the wonder of tiny little ants building a hill without a set of plans or drawings.

Do any of you think for one minute that those who really matter… the whacked-out-crazy Foxies… will believe that the Lieutenant’s death was anything other than what they need it to be to fit their world view? The suicide ruling will be seen as nothing but another “librul coverup to fit the agenda of the Muslem ape.”

Fox News is so good at owning up to their mistakes and correcting the record I’m sure they’ll make it all good. [chortle]

We would expect that those who used Gliniewicz’s death as a rallying cry for their cause would at least feel some shame and remorse for their hateful actions. However, I suspect that their reasoning will be more like pointing out that Obama’s policies could be the cause of the officer’s suicide. Why let a good lie go to waste?
