Chamber's Uncalled for Comments

Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers declared that "My ISIS is the police... if I carried a gun I would shoot him [the cop] first and asks questions later."  Mr. Chambers made these comments on the  floor of the Nebrask Unicameral. Several people, including Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts, have asked Mr. Chambers to apologize for conduct unbecoming of a state senator. However, Chambers refuses to apologize claiming, "I meant what I said."  Currently the Nebraska legislature is working to remove him from the Unicameral, which would require 33 of 49 votes.

Ernie Chambers has made a mockery of himself and our state. I understand that he may be upset with police brutality or other unfair policing policies, but comparing them to ISIS is completely uncalled for. Secondly, I believe Chabers should be tried for making a terroristic threat by claiming he would shoot police officers. The situation is very similar to the shooting of two Brooklyn police officers in November of 2014. The shooter stated he was going to kill the officers on his Instagram before he committed the act. Chambers should be tried and convicted, or at least he should be expelled from the  Unicameral.

Mom this doesn't concern you.


 
Well, hello there. I wasn't expecting to see you here. Seriously, no one is supposed to see this. My mom said she wouldn't let me blog on the Internet  until age 18. I really love my mom. She gave birth to me and my two sisters, Maggie and Annie. My mom is married to my dad and we all live together in Eastern Omaha. Sometimes we do things together like charades, vacations to Washington D.C., and meals. I like to play soccer, and I'm a goalkeeper. You may think goalies are fat, lazy, and relatively unimportant. However, you are only right 90% of the time. For 10% of a soccer game goalies become important (they are still fat and lazy though). I also talk competitively in a little something called extemporaneous speaking. I get to go to Florida because I did well, so that is fun. I hope there are a lot of smoking hot barbecues in Florida as I will miss the family barbecue to go there. I talk about things such as oil, economics, politics, wars, "frat bros", threats to national security, and a lot of other things that people deem to be "current events".  Well, that’s all. Don't tell me mom. 
This is Oliver Kahn. He is the best goalie ever. I aspire to be like him.
