President Barack Obama on Saturday said the widespread mistrust of law enforcement that was exposed by the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man in Ferguson, Missouri, is corroding America, not just its black communities, and that the wariness flows from significant racial disparities in the administration of justice.

Maybe he should suggest that black youth stop robbing and committing crimes that put them at odds with the law. How bout that message for a change. Policemen are there to protect law abiding citizens from criminals.

One thing that I will say about President Obama...he is absolutely relentless in his hatred for America, the American lifestyle, and our unique American exceptionalism. He hates it to the core.

Mistrust of this President corrodes America. Most police are worthy of respect.

Duh BO, why is it that these communities need law enforcement the most?

His solution to the distrust of government is more government.

Mistrust of the President destroys Obama’s America. When the highest level of law enforcement ignores/mutilates the law, there can be no more trust.

This guy's had the full force of the Justice Department and his office to try and find us examples of this "injustice" he speaks about, and yet the best he can come up with is Ferguson and Zimmerman.
He hates that there isn't this injustice to be found, so he lies. What a

Sorry it is not the “mistrust of police” that is corroding America. America is being destroyed by the dangerous fraud of “multiculturalism” and the similar delusions of dopey people.

I remember local cops complaining about the “no snitch attitude” in the African American community.
