“We’d like to see the president make one speech that speaks to everybody instead of one speech that speaks to black people as they grieve and one speech that speaks to police officers as they grieve,” said Jim Pasco, the executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents 330,000 officers. “We don’t need two presidents, we only need one. We need one who works to unify the United States.”
“The U.S. Department of Justice is always quick to insert itself into local investigations, sometimes before the preliminary reports are even in,” Chuck Canterbury, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement. “Today we expect action just as swift — we want a federal investigation into those who were motivated by their hatred of police to commit mass murder in Dallas last night.”

Unifying is not in his job description...above his pay grade.
Obama has been stirring up racial animus and hostility to LEOs from the very first year:
Obama says police acted ‘stupidly’ in arrest

I personally believe obama incites the riots and crimes that we saw last night and we will see all weekend. We have an office bet on the number riots this weekend. I took “5”. Nobody took “0”.
Obama is always banging the drum for the false narrative that every officer involved shooting is driven by racism.
Oh please, when the time comes these union bosses and members will quickly get back on their bellies and lick Hilliary’s boots.
I generally ignore “dog whistle” allegations but the speech he made detailing the high rate of black incarceration without so much as mentioning that they might just be committing more crimes?
Inciteful. Dog whistle.
The black men in prison today were convicted by juries, probably most of whom had black people on them. Talking like that, as if in America we incarcerate people just because they are black, like it’s a known fact, is disgusting.
African American young men do a disproportionate amount of crime in this country. Is it genetic? No. It’s cultural. They are largely raised fatherless and have thug life extolled to them as a great way to go.
Of course men of other races are, to a lesser degree, raised similarly, and when they are, we get higher criminal activity too.
The welfare mentality is directly responsible for the fatherlessness of these young black men and is criminal in itself. So wrong.
At any rate, “our” President was discussing this issue as though it were evidence that cops, juries, and judges are out to get the black man.
It was repulsive.
I know there are some bad jurists and juries - I saw “Making of a Murderer” too - but to say they are racist when I do believe most have black people on them is ridiculous.
Union....”calls for hate crime investigation”...
Finally, someone is calling for an investigation against odumbo and his ilk.
Obama is always banging the drum for the false narrative that every officer involved shooting is driven by racism.
Just like he does every black in prison is there only because they’re black.
I want an investigation into who is spreading the hate
We don’t even have one president. 0bama’s an enemy infiltrator.
Obama has been attempting to undermine the legitimacy and authority of law enforcement since the day he took office.
Police shoots black
Obama: “police are racist murderers”
Black ambushes and kills police
Obama: “let’s wait for all the facts”
No LEO should EVER put his or her life on the line for a Democrat Politician OR protester...
“I want an investigation into who is spreading the hate”......
Save your/our money. We all know where it is coming from and too many are politically correct to say it is ODUMBO himself. He could have stopped this a long time ago but has he tried? NO, he only comments when one of his sons or daughters get shot. What about the police officers, are they not “working citizens”. I truly and totally despise that bastard and the 1st Amendment allows we to say that.
Well, the FOP voted for these guys.
This is a Canadian story but yelling you hate white people and then engaging in a violent act is not a hate crime:
I applaud Chuck Canterbury’s efforts, but negotiation will not work on the terrorist living in our White House. Laws don’t work, courts don’t work, the gutless GOP-e doesn’t work and the treasonist MSM will not work.
Kinda running low on options, it seems.
