Obama Says Other Police Departments Are Racist In First Remarks On Ferguson

President Obama said the type of racial discrimination found in Ferguson, Missouri, is not unique to that police department, and he cast law enforcement reform as a chief struggle for today's civil rights movement.

Obama said improving civil rights and civil liberties with police is one of the areas that 'requires collective action and mobilization' 50 years after pivotal civil rights marches brought change to the country.

The president made his first remarks about this week's Justice Department report of racial bias in Ferguson, which found officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force.

The Justice Department refused to prosecute Ferguson cop Darren Wilson despite compiling a 350,000-page report on racial profiling in the Missouri city which 'led to' him fatally shooting unarmed black teen Michael Brown on August 9, 2014.

This is how stupid liberals are. And I am talking about the voters.

Liberals default that all authority is racist, pregudice and unfair against all “the little people.” They also assume that “all the little people” are always good, hard working and well meaning people. Authority = Bad.....

EXCEPT when the federal government wants to come in and take over the local government or police force. Then all of a sudden, Authority is GOOD because that authority will protect us from the other authority (whatever they hate).

B. Hussein Obama has a simple fix for this. Put all police departments under his command with someone like Eric Holder as his National Police Czar.

average reading is one page per minute, if you read 24 hours per day this would take 243 days.

These police departments’ “racism” still can’t touch the racism coming out of the White House.

“B. Hussein Obama has a simple fix for this.”

Absolutely, this is all about federalizing local police departments.

Which means that the taxpayer paid a lot of government hacks a lot of money to publish a mass of nonsense nobody will ever read.

I’ll bet the hacks are really proud of themselves.

Will he go so far as to malign his own DC Metro PD and Secret Service after they murdered an unarmed female in her car, with her infant in the back seat? Waiting...

And the MSM ignores the truth:

HANDS UP DON’T SHOOT = A LIE!

That was the takeaway. It’s not even being reported anywhere except on Fox.
