WASHINGTON (AP) The loss of three more police officers in Baton Rouge over the weekend demonstrates the importance of the federal government doing everything it can to help police officers go home at night and be safe, President Barack Obama said Tuesday after meeting with key leaders of his domestic security team.
Obama said there is great interest among police departments nationwide in receiving additional training to deal with active-shooter events and to decrease tensions before violence occurs, but that more resources will be necessary. He said many police departments could also use more help purchasing bullet-proof vests. He did not discuss specific amounts that he would like to see Congress make available.
Obama met with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in the Oval Office. He addressed reporters for about five minutes after the meeting without taking questions. He said the federal government has many of the tools necessary to help local departments, but the effort to improve policing will also have to be driven within those departments.
"Unfortunately, not all the departments that want to train their officers have the resources to do it," Obama said.

Oh, he will. Only two problems.
1) He doesn't actually have any money, so as usual he'll be putting OUR money where his mouth is.
2) "Federal money" into local matters is actually corrosive to individual rights and local accountability of goobermint, so we should be looking for places to get rid of it, not ask for more.
This is the same clown who said “We’ve got your backs”! Maybe those police should talk to the Benghazi survivors and the families of the dead about “having your back”. Here is the POS, along with Benghazi Clinton that told the ready reaction forces to stand down while on the tarmac...I’m sure he would do “no less” for you.
Maybe he should have thought about that before Solyndra, Iran money and hundreds of millions to WOT nations.
yes... they need some federal money injected- then a few federal ‘minders’ to make sure it is spent the ‘right’ way. then a little more money, them some more federal agents... until there are no more locals left.
His tune only changed after the black cop was killed in Baton Rouge.
Obama is a master (race) baiter.
Obama says some local police departments need more resources>>>>>>>>>>>
And to qualify for federal money each department will have to have an affirmative action hire plan, civil rights training, and racial sensitivity training....or no go!
This is federal control of state and local departments, who must have better equp,emt ( ,more riot gear and para military gear)because the Obama movement is funding BLM and the NBP race haters and baioters, creating the need for more “resources.” Soros alone has donated 33 million dollars to BLM to create national civil disorder.Its basically the same way Obama organized his Arab Spring in Egypt, Libya, Gaza, Syria and Kenya ( 2006/2007)...create civil disorder and then hold accepted institutions of government hostage.
Thats will not work in the land of the free, but Obama and Hillary both think it well, They both have double teamed the Arab Spring scam before, and it got them where? It got our country into deep $hit.And they want it in deeper.
Thanks to you Precedent POS Erkel Mugabe they now need 7.62 x 51 rated body armor and AR semi-automatic patrol rifles and every response to a 911 call will require at least 3 patrols to respond because of the passive permission and encouragement you granted to thugs, criminals and idiots......
Tie up those resources Obama, cost departments blood and bank Barraaack (spit).
Steal thats cities ability to protect their citizens in a timely manner.
Obama you really suck .
Obama routinely meets with BLM leadership. BLM has generated protests and leads chants of f the police etc. They have received training from the DOJ. Obama has used BLM to create and nurture an anti-police environment. He repeatedly legitimizes their acts. BLM is his street muscle, used to generate the dynamic necessary for his agenda, which is federalization of police.
His exploits with Black Lives Matter is a tactic directly from the playbook of Operation Arab Spring, which was run out of the Department of State: find a small local issue, puff it up & generate protests, suborn it for your own purposes.
A key weapon is Facebook and Twitter. The Department of State, at several Alliance of Youth Movements summits, trained Egyptians (and others) how to use Facebook and Twitter to organize protests.
In Op Arab Spring the purpose was overthrow of governments and installation of MB/AQ et al governments.
In the U.S. the purpose is federalization of police via the rubrics of standards & reporting. Those standards are defined by the U.N. and by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
My profanity has been edited by myself!!!
Actually, the Left had a great plan to demonize the police and incite civil unrest.
It's obvious that the Left had a plan to generate chaos and hate to allow Hillary to win in 2016
If Jeb Bush or any of the other Establishment Republican candidates had won the nomination it would have worked like a charm, just like their strategy did with John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012.
Can you imagine what Jeb Bush's response to #BlackLivesMatter and the war against police would look like?
Donald Trump has pursued a hard ball game plan and engaged the radicals head on. Trump has totally outmaneuvered the Left and he has turned the Obama/Clinton Left chaos strategy against them and to his advantage .
Every time the Obama and Clinton's minions try to protest or riot , Hillary's numbers go down and Trumps go up. This is a big problem for Hillary because this is all she has to offer and it's not working for her.
You should do a vanity and put all this stuff together in one long article. Seriously.
And when you lose control, you’ll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
This.
And if Hillary is elected, you had better believe it will happen.
There will be retraining courses for current police officers, run by militant affirmative action Alfa Hotels. Thorough attempts at indoctrination.
Folks, do everything you can to keep your elected officials from taking fed grants that have these strings attached. Its the states (peoples) money anyway.
In essence, conform or we keep assassinating you. Lovely.
Uhhh.... didn’t his justice dept just TAKE away their equipment? Said the police were TOO MILITARIZED?
I can post any number of articles where cops said Obama was going to get them killed by taking away their equipment that was DONATED after FERGUSON.
Check out # 19 .
Thanks, MamaDearest. Softer looking uniforms? Perhaps tutu pink? ...
The plan at link # 2 is idiotic...
Third link... well, on that I agree.
Because he took a lot of stuff away from them out of fear that they might side with the people if it finally became obvious that action was required to rescue our Nation.
GO TRUMP!!
Spot on post!!!
Obama doesn't mind police being targets of the crazies in the black community - he wants police to wear armor so when they're shot it's their fault?
Obama needs to get real... and scold violent losers in the black community - shame them - - they're the problem...not the lack of bullet proof vests.
