Ernie Chambers, state senator for Nebraska for over 40 years, compared the police to ISIS two weeks ago during a hearing regarding a bill that would allow citizens to carry concealed weapons into bars and other places of alcohol. Chambers asked the bill's sponsor why people would want to carry hidden weapons to which the sponsor referred to the fear caused by ISIS's recent beheadings. Chambers then proceeded to accuse the police of "terrorizing us daily, and they get away with it" and stated regarding Alvin Lugod, an Omaha police officer who shot and killed a black man and was ruled innocent, "I would want to shoot him first and ask questions later". Chambers refused to apologize to the police, even after many senators asked him nicely.
FRANKLY, this is completely and totally ridiculous. This guy represents Nebraska. I do not see in any way how it is responsible or acceptable to state that he, as a political role model for Nebraska, would shoot a police officer. What is he implying to his supporter? Let's all go buy guns and every time a police officer does anything controversial we could solve it with the pull of a trigger. And why stop with law enforcement? Call Katniss Everdeen because the 76th Hunger Games are coming to Nebraska! It's quite an impressive institution, built on Runza's and football, where occasionally one of the elected leaders decides to compare the protectors of the people, who by the way enforce the laws that he helps make, to a terrorist organization that takes it upon themselves to politely remove the heads of women and children. There are other ways to sneak onto the front page of the all prominent Omaha World Harold Mr. Ernie (is there actually a limit on how many times you can sue God?). Chambers later stated that he was simply making a point, but how can a leader of so many people say that he would take the life of a fellow citizen of these 50 states? Meanwhile, brave men and women are putting their lives at risk to protect the people of the USA because they respect the people and love this nation and would do anything to help keep the REAL ISIS off the streets of Omaha.
SO REALLY, Ernie Chambers needs to take a lesson from second grade and think before he speaks. If not, I think it may be time he gets a timeout.
