Obama asked Congress on Monday for $263 million for the federal response to the civil rights upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, and is setting up a task force to study how to improve modern-day policing.

The funds would pay for body cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the August shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, the White House said...

The $263 million would be spread over three years and would help purchase 50,000 body-worn cameras...

Not a federal issue, Bambi. You and your hacks aren't in charge of local police departments.

So shove it.

I’d like to put a 24/7 camera on Obama. After all, he works for us, and we have a right to know what he is doing.

Do the math.

263,000,000 divided by 50,000=$5,260 dollars per camera.

Sounds like a slush fund for Al Sharpton.

“I’d like to put a 24/7 camera on Obama. After all, he works for us, and we have a right to know what he is doing.”

Now that there is some solid reasoning.

Problem is, after we know for sure what a treasonous Muslim idiot this dork is, what’ll the Repubs do about it?

Obama should fix his home security force first.

Notice he wants to keep the DHS militarizing the police departments. That’s the real issue.

The Furgeson issue is precisely the Obama issue. In both cases we are being told we must accept criminal activity as acceptable.

Two reasons why he’s doing this:

1. Do what he knows well - Matters of substance (stimulus, ObamaCare) have gone kaput. So he’s shifting to what he knows well —multiKulti stuff he blathers in the faculty lounge.

2. Distraction - Amnesty means immigrants will take jobs, black jobs. So as bad as black unemployment already was, GayMuzzie knows it’s about to SKYROCKET. So he has to give with one hand, all while he takes away with the OTHER hand. So he makes nice-nice about the scarrrrry bad honky cops, right before all da bruthuz lose their jobs (those who did have jobs).

Bammy didn’t get the memo. The race industry doesn’t like cameras because they know they will back up the police 90% of the time.

If anyone thinks a body camera would make any difference to the angry mob, they’re an idiot.

After all, these are the same people who happily admit that OJ was guilty but are pleased as punch that he got away with killing a couple of white folks.
