More insults... Can you please discuss the topic. If you have no interest in doing so there are other threads to post in.

This is not isolated to this attack and they have been arresting people before it..

 

Let me pull out my fat crayons for you.

Cop says "we have reason to believe X"
There are two possibilities. This is the truth, and the cop is alerting you so that you are aware, or this is a lie, and the cop must have some motive to tell this lie. When a GROUP of cops say this, if it is not true, it is a conspiracy. I am asking what you think that conspiracy is, that leads you to the conclusion that the authorities should not be taken at their word.

 

Fox does that sometimes..

There doesn't seem to be any proof beyond tabloid claims.

 

Because the union disagrees with the Chiefs position that the public should not be alerted?

I think it is the other way around. Impugning the integrity of those charged to keep their citizens safe without evidence to the contrary is... weird.

 

A group of cops did not say this. The Secretary of the Union did. Why should I believe him?

Strange. The Right had no problem with such impugning when it came to the US military leadership and Benghazi...

 

Considering they arrested people before this incident and showed concerned of an attack before this incident why would you not?

 

Yes, and the US arrested Communists before McCarthy. That doesn't mean his list was true just because he said it was.

 

Your need to deflect to anything besides the topic is disturbing and one has to wonder if you have zero interest in discussing the topic why you are in thread posting...

 

Providing an example is not deflection. Simple fact: the Secretary of the Police Union provided zero evidence to back up his claim. Why should any claim be believed without evidence?

 

So the previous arrests linked to this attack are not related in your mind got you.

 

Because if the secretary did not speak for the union the union would disavow him. Don't be dense.

See... it was the military leadership which spoke out against the executive branch. I don't think any of us thought the military did anything wrong at all.

 

Previous arrests do not prove there are 50 more sympathizers.

 

the letter is fine, but hardly enough if what he says is true.

 

French Sources Now Reporting That The White House Cut Translation of Hollande's Words When He Mentioned "Islamist Terrorism"

Mais oui, evidement.

VIDÉOS - La Maison-Blanche coupe la traduction de François Hollande quand il parle de "terrorisme islamiste"

Video: The White House cuts the translation of Francois Hollande when he talks about "Islamist terrorism"

It's a strange moment that Francois Hollande experienced, Thursday March 31 at Washington, even if the President of France wasn't fully aware of it.

At the beginning of the summit on nuclear security, President 4-Putt and his French opposite number had made a mutual declaration, speaking mostly about ISIS. The tone was serious, engaged, resolute. But, as revealed by the Media Research Center, the speech of the French President wasn't translated for several seconds, cutting Hollande as he pronounced the words "islamist terrorism."

Francis Hollande had said:

We are conscious of the source of islamist terrorism, it is in Syria and it is in Iraq. And we must act in Iraq and in Syria. That is what we are doing in the framework of the coalition. And we note that ISIS has been knocked back thanks to the strikes that we have led in this framework of this coalition.

In February 2015, a month after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the Hyper Kosher [grocery store], Slate [the magazine] had written an article explaining why Barack Obama doesn't say "radical Islam," "Islamist," or "jihadist."

I read many negative accounts about that airport in Brussels where security tended to profile only the white folks as some kind of payback for what Bush has allegedly done. Typically, one guy wrote he did nothing to provoke suspicion yet all his luggage was searched, he was too, and then the security guard pushed him forward from behind in "get the hell out of here". In the meantime, all the Muslims including those cocooned in Burkas were given a free pass without any search at that same security checkpoint.
