Senator Patrick Toomey

Dear Senator Toomey:
At a recent rally in Philadelphia you were quoted as saying those who protested police misconduct in recent months “don’t speak for America.”
I would point out that the New York police used an illegal choke hold on Mr. Garner. In addition, Mr. Garner was not dead when he was on the ground, yet no police officer offered first aid or CPR.
When 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot in Ohio, an “open carry state,” for holding an air rifle, police reacted in approximately two seconds and again did not give first aid to the bleeding boy. Instead they handcuffed his 14-year-old sister who had come to his aid and put her in the back of a police car.
If you don’t see a problem here, if you think the police don’t need more training, if you don’t understand why people are angry, then you are being either willfully obtuse or trying to rile up your base. Either way, you are not helping to solve the problem. You are making it worse.
Sincerely,
Roy Christman
He is all about riling up his base and if you view his facebook comments he receives they mostly hate him for being a RHINO or too liberal. I again agree completely with your view on this subject. The Republicans have the power now and Toomey is a great example of what motivates the Republican party. His biggest concerns are attack the EPA and a Jobs Bill which is code for slash taxes for the rich.
