The former top cop in Washington and Philadelphia said Sunday that the country is “sitting on a powder keg” amid outcry over a number of fatal police shootings, including two last week that prompted nationwide protests.

And Obama has the match.

Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match...

Don’t think that’s quite what they had in mind

Kidding aside, the larger black community needs a “match” with the Lord to light a fire of worship.

“He wrote the letters ‘RB,’” Brown said. “We’re trying to figure out . . . what those initials mean.” Any theories about what the scumbag was referring with "RB"?

Inside that powder keg is an armed citizenry fed up with a regime that coddles rioters.

from the article): " The Post’s Wesley Lowery reported Thursday:
" Blacks continued to be shot at 2.5 times the rate of whites.
About half of those killed were white, and about half were minorities.
Less than 10 percent of all those killed were unarmed..."

Those statistics have already been proven to be wrong ,after research by the Washington Post, itself .
Funny how when the stats don't measure up to the AGENDA, the AGENDA always wins out, because the facts don't matter.
The Washington Post found out that whites are, in fact, 2.5 times more likely to be shot in violent confrontation with the police than minorities. Why is it that with "Black Lies Matter ", they omit the fact that most minorities are being killed in their own communities by other minorities.
One word : AGENDA

Roseanne Barr ???

A powder keg that has been intentionally created precisely to lead to worse and worse race relations so that the progressive left and democrats can use it during the election to somehow guarantee their African-American voting block at the best...and cause a race war at the worst.

THAT’S IT!!!!

.....And can and will backfire on them.

I heard one of the theories this morning on the news is that RB could stand for Racist Bitch. The reporter said that the New Black Panthers have been known to use these words in the past in describing cops, white folks, etc. Not sure if we will ever know for sure?

Robot Blewup? LOL

Obama has worked overtime to destroy the ability of police to do their jobs. In fact, what he has accomplished is forcing them out of black neighborhoods where crime is now out of site as a result. And I don’t blame cops for a second for now seeing anything as they drive by or not going there to start with. Stay in areas that appreciate your work and let the others stew in their own stupidity.

Someone earlier posted that RB was possibly interrupted truncated by the appearance of a bomb wielding robot that drew his attention away momentarily and permanently.

He was beginning to write RBG, Red Black Green, the colors of the Pan-African black power flag when there was a bright flash.

Ramsey, who was appointed by President Obama in 2014 to lead a White House policing task force...

What Lindsey Bever of the Washington Post doesn't understand is that there IS a definition for 'top cops' - and it's NOT connected in any way to a political plum appointment. The MSM sucks - eagerly awaiting the next round of 'buy-outs' and downsizing at the Washington Post and New York Times. Hey Lindsey, is the top editor at your paper one who got an award from the conservative Chamber of Commerce?
