On Tuesday, President Obama descended on Dallas to hijack the memorial service for five slain police officers. He’d planned to do this for days – his White House stated in advance that Obama would get political.
But for the first few minutes of Obama’s address, it appeared that he might take stock of the moment and hold himself back.
Then it all collapsed.
Here are the seven worst moments of his latest opportunistic, highly political, egregiously inappropriate address:
1. Equating The Murders of The Dallas Police Officers With The Killings of Alton Sterling And Philando Castile. This is a trap into which the left has fallen consistently this week. It’s lazy thinking, and more importantly, it’s morally repugnant. The police officers murdered in Dallas were targeted because of their race. We know that for a fact. That is not speculation. They were targeted because they were white. We know virtually nothing about the Alton Sterling and Philando Castile cases. The police allege that Sterling resisted arrest and reached for a gun he was carrying illegally. We have no evidence yet as to what happened with Philando Castile, but there is certainly no evidence that it was a racially-motivated shooting. Nonetheless, Obama said, “I see people who mourn for the five officers we lost, but also weep for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. In this audience, I see what’s possible.” Not all killings are equal. But to Obama, targeted killing of whites is equivalent to police killing blacks in disputed circumstances.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The author needs to re do that math. Obama mentioned himself 45 times. By my count, that is 52 disgusting things he said.
How does a man go to a memorial service and talk about himself? That is messed up.
What possible, conceivable reason was there for DPD to allow Obama of all people to come and talk at their memorial? They got the anti cop traitor trash talk everyone knew they were going to get.
The race card needs to be totally blown up.
I don’t care about skin color. I care about culture. Ghetto culture is bad. Thug culture is bad.
You want to talk skin color? You bore me. Go away. It’s just not interesting or important. Ever.
Swine
We know a great deal about Castille...the author is wrong we have the police scanner saying he was pulled over because his resemblence to an armed robbery suspect in that same neighborhood several days before and if you go back to the Conservative Treehouse you can see pictures...still shots from the cell video that show a gun butt on his lap ...and the attorney of the hispanic officer saying his client reacted to the gun not race...
The police car was equipped with a dash cam...that has not been released and my hunch is the officers will be totally cleared.
The DPD may not had a choice in the matter.
Thug dictators do pretty much what they want.
But if anything, baraq is predictable. It’s all about him.
Even murdered Police officers can’t get him off his own personal Italian opera.
me, me, me, me, me......
He’s a punk ideolog.
Obviously either side of this increasingly polarized divide is going to complain about moral equivalencing. Who fought for good and who fought for evil.
It’s like on one side anything my peeps do to you is A-OK even if it’s wrong, because your peeps deserved it. And then mirror image sentiment appears.
The most morally repugnant thing of all, however, isn’t even any mortal comparison, but our shucking off of God’s amazing and yet essential love. This is GUARANTEED to lead to perpetual chaos because only He can make the pieces fit back together.
No municipality or public organization is going to turn down an offer to have the POTUS speak at their function. Even if you aren't quite sure what he is going to say.
Would be simpler to count the relevant, non disgusting things he has said in the last 8 years!
Probably threatened them with some forced DOJ investigations into whether or not the PD has a sufficiently diverse culture and hiring practices, similar to what was done in Ferguson, MO.
The article forgot the line about Philando Castile: Mr Rogers with dreadlocks. Just a sweet neighbor in his sweater tending to his flowers and helping the children of the neighborhood. No mention of the you tube video of him and his Ho smoking dope in front of their child, or possibly robbing a local convenience store.
Darren Wilson was totally cleared too but ruined. This guy is in the same boat. Victims of media and cultural anti cop hatred.
It’s just incomprehensible that this illegal undocumented traitor is NOT in prison long ago !!!
What about Geirge Dubya Bush jiving and smiling during t he funeral?
Something gone wrong with him?
He acted high or senile
BS..... he is a great man and you are delusional
