IMHO, Obama started all of this disdain for cops when he spouted his ignorant drivel in the Gates-Cambridge police case and proclaimed, "The police acted stupidly" before he knew what the facts were. It telegraphed for us where his minds set was about law enforcement. That he had a preconceived notion that it was the police that are wrong for just doing their jobs.
Words matter, especially every word and syllable coming from you, Mr. President. Now, six years later, everything that happens to blacks, is somehow the cops fault.
Mr. President, you may think the American people are stupid too but it appears the stupid one is the one calling us and the police names.

Obama has poured gasoline on the fire of black rage claiming white cops are out to shoot innocent blacks, but bad police officers are the cause of the public’s anger with modern policing. There are not that many bad ones but they get all the press and attention. The regular guy who serves with honor, we never hear about.

Obama didn't start this. He ha certainly thrown gasoline on the fire, but the fire was lit before he moved into the white hut. The police have earned the mistrust a lot of people feel towards them.
