Obama: Unfair Policing 'Violates My Belief in What America Can Be'

President Obama met with over two dozen people regarding the Ferguson unrest on Monday, including law enforcement officials, civil rights leaders, and young people involved in activism protesting the decision by the grand jury in the Michael Brown case.

“When any part of the American family does not feel like it is being treated fairly, that's a problem for all of us,” he said.

Obama explained that the “most powerful” meeting was one with eight young people who were involved with the Ferguson protests, particularly with those who suffered from what they claimed was unfair treatment from officials.

“When I hear the young people around this table talk about their experiences, it violates my belief in what America can be,” he said, pointing out that the young people of color he spoke to had felt “marginalized and distrusted.”

“When any part of the American family does not feel like it is being treated fairly, that’s a problem for all of us,” he said.

This is what we are dealing with. It has nothing to do about feelings. It has everything to do about the law. Follow the law and everybody will be treated fairly. Period.

Funny how this Klown tries to sound Profound.

whats he is really saying, laying the groundwork for?

“people of color” feelings trump all else.

White privilege folk and law enforcement must submit.

Embrace the Thuglife.

They mostly can’t strike but they can all suffer from the worst epidemic in our history at the same time. I’m talking about the “Blue Flu.” How would he like that?

“Feelings, wo wo wo feelings”...

It doesn’t matter whether they actually ARE being treated unfairly, Obie says his standard is whether they FEEL they’re being treated unfairly. And that’s a different version of the left’s constant refrain that it doesn’t matter if their chosen target actually DID what he’s accused of, what’s important is the seriousness of the charges. Day by day he presides over an effort to destroy rational thought in this country.

Well, when you understand that he thinks his beliefs are decrees, it all becomes clear.

D’Andre Joshua was not at the meeting. He was shot to death and set on fire in Ferguson the other night for, allegedly, testifying to the Grand Jury. I guess you didn’t see that story on the state run Venezuelan newscasts!

“it violates my belief in what America can be,”

I don't value his beliefs anymore than he does mine.

Militant blacks are a poor choice for deciding what unfair policing is. In fact, militant/criminal blacks violate my belief of what America should tolerate.

I don’t think I am being treated fairly when a HUGE chunk of my paycheck is ripped off and used to support thugs like Brown and his layabout family. How about that? Is that fair?
