NYPD commissioner: Bigger threat comes from ‘our own citizens’
Bill Bratton is saying what data already has affirmed.
Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon Monday night, NYPD Commissioner William Bratton explained that the biggest threat to Americans came from the country’s own citizens, rather than radical Muslim extremists, as Republican presidential candidates have asserted.
Lemon aired Donald Trump‘s comments that America was unsafe because of a rapid influx of Muslims into the country. Bratton responded that America was a very safe place compared to the rest of the world, and noted that while the U.S. has had some mass killings from “inspired extremists,” the “vast majority” were “committed by American citizens living here who have access to firearms.” He cited the 2012 massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Well Yeah…this is ‘Muikan Exceptionalism, as it has morphed into what we are seeing today…The Rise Of Trump…is the nexus of years of propaganda…
there always has been that underlying darkness of some in this country, always watching, and waiting for their “time”…this is what we seem to be experiencing now…
