Comparing American Cops with Islamic Terrorists

Obama is also right that “we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.” But those tensions are exacerbated by the selective narratives favored by Obama and Holder, who a day before Obama’s U.N. speech had invoked the Ferguson riots as a wake-up call to the country to confront the “hard truths” of race and policing. Addressing a conference on incarceration, Holder urged the police to “work with the communities they serve . . . by forging close bonds, establishing deep trust, and fostering robust engagement.” Well and good, but police-civilian relations are a two-way street. Few are the departments that don’t try to forge bonds with their communities but their officers are still met with resistance, abuse, and hatred from criminals and their associates, and from ordinary people who have been fed a steady diet of anti-police propaganda. It would have been refreshing if Holder had called on the community to cooperate with the police by providing witness testimony after shootings and other crimes. Instead, the attorney general touted his department’s effort to ensure “that everyone who comes into contact with the police is treated fairly” (emphasis in the original), implying that differential police treatment is a serious problem.

President Obama’s preposterous comparison of the Ferguson shooting to sectarian violence has done a disservice to the nation’s police forces. Such rhetoric only ensures that more young black men resist legitimate arrests and escalate police encounters into more fateful territory.

Comparing American Cops with Islamic Terrorists

Sadly that is exactly what Obama was raised to believe. His hatred and distrust of this nation is totally inbred and will never be changed. Nowhere in his past has he ever been associated with or influenced by what we would describe as a typical American. All of his friends and associates have been far outside the mainstream on the left.

THERE'S our President basically inviting American citizens to defy the authorities. He's is publicly justifying the worst possible kind of social/civil discord IN ADVANCE!!

NOTHING justifies THIS.

Police all over the country will have to pay the price for THIS piece of moral/ethical irresponsibility

In Obama’s United Nations address he equated the occurrence of a Black youth killed by a white cop in Ferguson to the Islamic terrorist slaughter of infidels.

Obama and Holder called immediately the parents of the young Black killed by a white police officer to express their indignation and sent 40 FBI agents to investigate the case. (In Chicago dozens of Black are killed by Blacks every month and Obama didn’t care)

Did Obama call the parents of the poor lady decapitated in Oklahoma by a Black Muslim to express their sorrow and sympathy?

Outrageously, from day one, as in Fort Hood, the attack in Oklahoma by an Islamic terrorist was miss represented as a case of “work place violence” by Obama’s FBI.

Was for Obama the poor decapitated woman in Oklahoma by a Black Muslim terrorist a non person? Did Obama condemned immediately and publicly such a brutal savagery as the result of the preaching of his “religion of peace”? Isn’t decapitation of “infidels” the M.O. of the followers of Islam as ordered by Muhammed?

OBAMA, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

Islam is not a “religion of peace”, and never has been. “We all know how tolerant radical Sharia Muslims are toward Christians, especially when it comes to kidnapping, torture, hangings, and beheadings”.

You know quite well that a slaughter of Christian by Muslim is going on daily all around Africa and the Middle East, and you have kept an accomplice silence. Will you be silent when the Oklahoma decapitation is repeated all around U.S.?
