I read his dad and two brothers are/have been in law enforcement. If so I don't understand how/why he has been praising Alton Sterling.

After today's murders of police officers, I wonder if he changes his stance on things.

His pandering to the ignorant masses takes priority over backing police

He didn't praise Sterling at all, he played to a thin line to keep peace or attempt to. Big difference IMO and his turning things over to Feds which ultimately BLM would have bitched for was to try to not have this turn into Baltimore.

Regardless of politics, I feel he has handled this as well as he can: This isn't the days of George Wallace.

Now I'm not saying I agree with him on everything but for example a John Delgado attends the funeral. Big difference.

How do you see him addressing today's events in his press conference at 3?

Money and power trump family for some people.

Yes, his father, Frank, was the Sheriff of Tangipahoa Parish in the 70's thru early 80's. His brother, Daniel, has been the Sheriff for a term or two.

Sorry, but attending that funeral is essentially choosing sides.

JBE was not at the funeral, he was out of state for the National Gov Confrence.

John Delgado, a vote pandering clown, on the other hand did attend.

There is a ton of stupid on the OT at times. Making up shite and claiming it as fact is, what we in the real world would call, a lie.
