Bon Jovi Shows Support for Racist NYPD -- Wears ‘Property of NYPD’ Shirt at Show

AntiMedia

On Monday, Bon Jovi he took the side of NYPD and wore a shirt to support the two dead NYPD officers at his show in Red Bank, New Jersey, apparently finding those 2 lives to be a higher priority than the over 1000 Americans killed by police this year.

He officially stood with the American police, the police state, and the establishment with a monopoly on violence, and encouraged the entire audience to do so as well.

He said “I’m showing a little solidarity for my brothers in the NYPD and all of those who protect and serve us every day,”

Why did he do this? Well, given the fact that he is who he is, mainstream musician Bon Jovi, he probably did it to get support from people, maybe even financial support from some individuals or entity(s) that we would have no way of knowing about. He is indeed known for publicity stunts and ways of garnering the support of average people.

He apparently wishes to appeal to people who support the status-quo, government, and police in America. These people of course lack perspective on what is going on in America with the police killing unarmed people with impunity (or don’t care) This mainstream musician chooses to appeal to people who have been persuaded to prioritize certain human lives over others and support a system consistently proven to be ineffective to actually protect people.

Of course, Bon Jovi never spoke out about these unarmed Americans being killed by police for months and years before these two killings of police officers. He didn’t seem to care about the thousands of people killed by police for no good reason. So how can one life be worth more than another?

I am certainly not saying the taken lives of the 2 NYPD officers are worth less than the people killed by police, or that the police’s lives are worth any more or less than any life. However, based on the behavior of Bon Jovi, it would seem that he finds there to be more value in an officer’s life, than 1000 other lives taken by officers, a good portion of them being completely unarmed, innocent people.
