New York Post Blares Dallas Police Killings Set Off ‘CIVIL WAR’

The New York Post called the killings of five police officers at a Thursday night protest in Dallas a “CIVIL WAR.”

The infamous tabloid, known for its inflammatory headlines, framed its cover around the killing of the law enforcement officers at an “anti-police protest.”

Anti-police-brutality protests took place Thursday in cities across the nation after the high-profile police shooting deaths of two black men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, in two days.

Graphic video of Sterling’s close-range shooting by police was posted online. After Castile was shot by police during a traffic stop, his girlfriend documented his final moments on Facebook Live.

  1. To say the raggyass POS Post is a muckraker is insulting to muckrakers. Vile x 3.

  2. Yup, we are living inside the insane asylum in the twilight zone of the outer limits, that is America. The New York Post is the official news letter and Fox News, it’s public access channel.

    This is exactly what the terrorist organization, The NRA, has been hoping for all along. The fact that it’s happening after back to back murders of two second amendment gun toting black men shows what the NRA really wants in this debate on guns. I always knew that it would take something like this Dallas incident to finally draw attention to the NRA’s racial motivations. Now, once again, nothing will happen in congress.

  4. Memo to the editorial board, NY Post:

    You’re not helping, so knock it off.

    Thanks.

  5. Yep, in the “Mirror Universe,” the putrid Post is the rag of record. I tend toward absolute freedom of the press but this almost “Incitement to Riot.”
