President Obama will ask Congress "for $263 million for the federal response to the civil rights upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, and is setting up a task force to study how to improve modern-day policing," Reuters reports.
The $263 million would pay for body cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the shooting death last summer of an unarmed black teenager.
Obama brought in a series of civil rights leaders and various elected officials and community leaders to discuss how to respond to the challenge presented by Ferguson.

THAT’S $12,000 FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD LIVING IN FERGUSON!
Obama wants....who cares
He’ll just give it to his buds while all the businesses that were destroyed will not get one penny.
The Community Organizer at work!!
I thought the President was supposed to represent all the people and uphold the law.
Here's a video of a police officer fighting for his life with an "unarmed" man approx. the same size as Michael Brown.
Caught on tape.Cop fights for his life. Youtube 1:48
Thanks. It certainly appears to be a justified shooting to me.
They’re Ferguson Uprising is not working ,now they’ll try MONEY
After you factor in Al’s cut it works out to $33.89 per resident.
The looter-in-chief carries on!
The money will go to the race pimps to provide “sensitivity training”. That’s why these ridiculous ‘race’ stories get pimped so hard- for the money.
Money really is magic, isn’t it? It can cure global warming and now can solve “racism.”
When the Left is getting its political ass kicked, this is what they do. Shift the debate, change tactics, and talk about "healing", "bringing everyone together," and throw millions of more dollars down the toilet, but still work to achieve their objectives and ignore the real issue, which is leftist policies that have destroyed black families and created thugs and lawbreakers.
But the Stupid Party will give Obama the money because their friggin' idiots who are too afraid of their own shadow.
a “federal response” to a local shoplifting/assault on a cop somewhere or other outside of Saint Louis??
a “federal response” — REALLY!????
I’m going to jaywalk tomorrow, can I at least be given a $20 million “federal resonse to my little local crime spree?”
Over a quarter of a billion dollars? As compensation for a lawless mob fouling its own home ground?
How about NO! They burned it down. Let them build it up, again.
Absa-fudgin-lootly NOT! That money will be funneled RIGHT into DNC coffers!
No! No! A THOUSAND TIMES NO!
Hey, you POS! Pass a flippin’ BUDGET, why don’t ya? Going on 7 years now.
@#$%^&*! Hurry, January, 2017! Gawd!
Here we go. I could see this coming. They act criminal and taxpayers have to pay for it.
Take it out of the ObamaPhone budget.
I don’t want to pay to rebuild the businesses either.
If the people of Ferguson want new things for their police force, they should raise a bond or raise their taxes to pay for it. Why should they whole country pay for a local police force? And that goes for any local police force, not just Ferguson.
My guess is that they are going to have a hard time finding police officers who will work at Wilson’s former salary ... they’re going to have to offer a lot more ... and that should come from the local taxpayers as well.
