Police chief rips Obama remarks
The Hill ^ | 8/14/2014 | Mario Trujillo

Posted on 08/14/2014 2:14:49 PM PDT by CharlesOConnell

"I would contend that discussing [Ferguson, Mo.] police tactics from Martha's Vineyard is not helpful to ultimately calming the situation," Fraternal Order of Police director Jim Pasco said in an interview with The Hill.

"I think what he has to do as president and as a constitutional lawyer is remember that there is a process in the United States and the process is being followed, for good or for ill, by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutors’ office," Pasco added.

Exactly

The Dems have nothing totally nothing , zero, to run on.
This tragedy happens and the left jumps all over it , attacking the cops is a great past time of theirs , and now they can use this to stir up the base, get out the vote, and possibly save a few seats.

Wait for the AD’s about poor black man being shot for no reason right before an election.

Sadly even on here there has been a handful putting up left wing sites and falling for the anti cop, pro left wing spin.

Looks like he is dancing by himself. Always about HIM! Yep, glad he is having fun since the world is full of unicorns and daffodils sway and the sun is shining. What is there to worried about?

President Obama refused comment before returning to his vacation.

It amazes me how the rich like him use class warfare and get votes.
Then he has blacks on his side , and yet he has nothing in common with most of them.
He then had written in his book about only wanting to hang out with blacks, etc etc etc in order to not be a sell out, and yet he gets away with it.

Now they use this shooting like they did for Zimmermann to stir the base and it works time and time again

STUNNING!!!

"There's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights."

Do tell. How come you didn't say that about Bundy Ranch, Zero?

Oh, alas and alack....I'm sure the Ferguson poh-leese are not too happy with Obama's public scorching of their "heavy-handed" tactics and, now, they find out they're being replaced in their own city by state troopers....

......and all their police union leaders are enamored of the President and are in his pocket and will support him over their own cops....

....oh, where to go, who to turn to....oh, my, oh, my.....no one supports us.....

.....(cut to deflated cops beating themselves over their heads with their own nightsticks).....

I don’t know if this is old news, but I read somewhere that this, “Child,” attacked the cop as he was getting out of his car.

IIRC, it was the media that ‘elevated’ him to professorial status. His employer/faculty colleagues didn’t seem bothered by that, nor did his Dem/Lib supporters. The flack from those across the aisle was basically ignored.

It is rather ironic, because faculty tend to be be VERY ‘exacting’ when it some to professional status.

I did not listen to Sparky but did he mention anything about flagrant disrespect for the law, ruined businesses, and lives altered by a race of his very own. Could we expect the same actions from Obama if he was a citizen of Ferguson? Sounds like he would be on the front line of looting and pillaging!
Sharpton and The New Black Panthers are only there to stir the pot!
The local DA should get a gag order from a judge to stop this crap! And send them packing! And the Black Race wants more respect well you lost any credibility you have.

“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.” — Michelle Obama

"and the process is being followed, for good or for ill, by the police and by the county and by the city and by the prosecutors’ office,"

I don't believe him.

Any private citizen accused, with the evidence in the media so far (the 35ft distance, eye witness statements etc.) would be in jail with a VERY high bail, or held without bail.

And his name a picture would be in the local paper.

This tells me the FOP is just a Union crony trying to protect his "brother".

Try as I might, I don't believe him.

Mr. TGuy, you got that right. The college must disclose info about all instructors. Full Prof, Assoc Prof, Lecturer, etc..

Mr. TGuy, they must also publish the “teachers” resume of qualifications and all publications from such prospective teachers. Until Obama, all this information was public.

Mr. TGuy, this is old news that Obama has had all his records scrubbed relating to this subject and much more. Obama was never, ever a Professor of Law. Period. However, the media will tell you otherwise. The media will attempt to convince you that Obama was the greatest Law Non-Professor that ever lived.

Mr. TGuy, Obama has never been a Professor. Of any college, junior college, or high school. Its a lie.

adjunct lecturer is what I recall
********************************
Me too! I recall that the Profs at the Law School refused to accept him as a Prof. Then, the Chancellor told them to find him a vacant office. They did and the office had a desk and one chair. .....He was an adjunct lecturer to Black Studies students and talked about how the Constitution was unfair to blacks.

There's the problem! The Bundy Ranch protestors didn't go and loot local strip malls; if they looted then Obama would speak up for their rights. Hmmn, and some people think he's sane?

That reveals one of the lies the media ignore.

obama is only about 20% black. The remainder is about 30% Arab and 50% white.
