Any pretense that President Obama would let justice take its course in Ferguson, MO without his use of the bully pulpit of the presidency to influence or sway events on the ground has been completely thrown out the window.
Saturday night, Obama firmly "took sides" in the Michael Brown case during a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Obama called the shooting an event that exposed the racial divide in America and "scars the hearts of our children."
Fox News reports on Obama's speech and quotes the President using language that could easily be part of an Al Sharpton monologue on MSNBC:
"In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement -- guilty of walking while black or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness."
As the Washington Times points out, President Obama then tried to pretend that he would not take a stand on the ongoing investigation, even though he had just referred to the shooting of Brown as an example of "young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement -- guilty of walking while black or driving while black."
At the presidents speech in Washington, the audience included the parents of Mr. Brown, and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., whose agency is conducting a probe to determine whether the slain teens civil rights were violated. Mr. Obama said because of the continuing probe, I wont comment on the investigation.
But he added, We have to close the justice gap how justice is applied, but also how it is perceived, how it is experienced. Thats what we saw in Ferguson this summer when Michael Brown was killed and the community was divided.
Mr. Obama said there are significant racial disparities in the criminal justice system in everything from enforcing drug policy to applying the death penalty to pulling people over.
The remarks are in stark contrast to what the President said in a press conference during the week of rioting in Ferguson following the shooting:
"This is not an argument that there isnt real crime out there and that law enforcement doesnt have a difficult job. And you know, that they -- you know, they have to be honored and respected for the danger and difficulty of law enforcement. But what is also true is that given the history of this country, where we can make progress in building up more confidence, more trust, making sure that our criminal justice system is acutely aware of the possibilities of disparities in treatment, there are safeguards in place to avoid those disparities where, you know, training and assistance is provided to local law enforcement who, you know, may just need more information in order to avoid potential disparity."
Young black males are nearly an order of magnitude more likely to commit crimes than whites or Asians. Of course they’re going to be scrutinized.
How about feeling hunted while white? Doesn’t that count for anything?
There is only one male in that family and it's not King Nancy-Boy.
Embedded within this article is a wider explanation of just who Barack Hussein Obama really is.
He’s the following:
1. A Saul Alinsky/Communist Party USA/Democratic Socialist of America MARXIST. Took decades for him to reach his present Marxist mindset.
2.Anti-colonialist - still fighting the so-called battles of his birth father, Marxist/Islam leanindg Barack Obama Sr, of Kenya (affiliated with the Islamic Luo tribe)
3.Black American and black internationalist - trying to use his Kenyan birth father’s race to sell himself to both African blacks as well as American black, the latter who he has devastated with his Marxist and sociopathic policies.
4.Islam admirer and supporter. Look at who he has had a advisers who were either Moslems or pro-Moslem/Arabists. That is why he won’t wage total war on ISIS.
This man is not just “conflicted”, he’s a fucking mental basket case.
Add on his “I’m the one the American people have been waiting for” narcissm/egocentricity, his mental detachment to details and advise, and his disdain for the common person, and you have one really messed up and dangerous demagogue running and ruining our country.
Even Freud would have certified Obama as batshit crazy.
Is having Obama as president any different than Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton as president?
Facts be damned, he jumps at this like he did the with the Traitor Bergdahl’s parents to the ultimate destruction of the United States.
Or Maggie Daniels, Colleen Ritzer, Hannah Graham, Sarah and Susan Wolfe...
He took sides back when he sent Holder there to stir things up.
You can add Morgan Harrington to that list, she was murdered by Jesse Matthew in 2009 from the same general area, forensics have linked both cases
The two of them want a full scale race riot. They want martial law, suspend all rights, collect all the guns, stay in power.
Hadn’t heard. There does appear to be a war on women. White women by black males.
Yep and that is something the left will never admit. In fact, when they talk about Hannah Graham they hardly show the suspect’s photo because he is black..now you have a black suspect and two white female victims..you have a white woman being beheaded in Oklahoma by a black Muslim who was stopped by a man with a gun..media’s worst nightmare
Yep. Been getting scary for a while. Every Patriot, especially women should be armed at all times.
