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.

Obama’s heart was in the right place? Seriously. He was offensive and deliberate.
7 Disgusting Things Obama Said While Hijacking Memorial For Slain Dallas Police
What possible, conceivable reason was there for DPD to allow 0bama 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.
I heard that. And the reason police departments all over the country are hurting for cops is because no one wants to be a cop anymore. I’m one of them. And I’d love to find something else and am actively trying to.
On top of all of that, the people that are supposed to fill those positions are the “millennials”, who right now seem to be occupied with Pokemon. I’d be willing to be that there are some business owners/managers on this site that have to hire/deal with the “millennials” on a daily basis. While some might be great, most are a bunch of spoiled brats that spent their lives getting participation trophies. Those aren’t the types of people that are going to go charging into the gunfight.
Very true.
