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.

Time to nationalize all State and Local Police Forces.

The new national police Czar will be Rev. Al ( Hands Up , Don’t Shoot!) Sharpton.

Result: One law for black folk, and another law for white folk and Asian folk racists who elected Obama.That’s historic justice ! That’s the Constitution?

Who wants to follow Obama and his mavens into a totalitarian state? Go for it ! I’m moving to Texas.

Myth becomes reality? What a sad laugh.

Let's see....the Justus department comes out with a finding that Wilson is innocent and will not be charged.

But to show that they're on the job, Justus releases a report throwing all of FPD under the bus.

Has anyone done an investigation into Al Sharpton's racist comments? Jeremiah Wright's comments?

So our anti-Semitic president is still playing the race card. How ironic.

This report is nothing but a blanket to allow Obama and Holder to cover their BS when this first came to light.

Anyone with a reasonable understanding of elemental math knows this report is pure crap - political expediency, nothing more.

What a “Uniter”.

It's a mis-spelling of "un-tier."

Total effing bullsh*t!

How many times does the truth of what actually happened need to be revisited before it convinces the masses that Obama and his cabal of race-baiting dogs are rabid liars?

It’s not about “race,” Mr. prezzy... It’s about normal people growing tired of impolite behavior by the “not quite civilized”....

Jungle boogie....

I was stranded on Friday, and compelled to listen to CNN during my wait.

The talking heads were giving air time to a black racist (but that's a tautology), who was demanding the immediate resignation of every police officer in the St. Louis metro area.

In the same broadcast, the talking heads used the words (and this is a direct quote) "something for incoming Attorney General Loretta Lynch" - as if the confirmation vote is already done.

The board is being set, the pieces are in motion.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

The truth can be revisited upon the electorate from now to time ends and the electorate will not believe it. The media has imprinted their version of the incident in their minds as they did with the Zimmerman incident. The media's version, as with the Zimmerman incident is the one the masses will believe. The truth in both cases no longer matters.

The Feds are going to attempt it the Federalizing of local police departments. They have latently been working on this successfully via "Federal Grants". Soon they will begin moving openly and blatantly toward this end. And if future performance is judged by past performance, they will succeed. Only the lay people will oppose them. Those in positions of authority are salivating to get their hands on the "Federal Dollars" a big portion of which will go into their bank accounts.

Once this is accomplished, their takeover will be complete. They will have control of the enforcement mechanism, the internet [communications] and the medical and insurance professions. They already control the news organizations, the educational process, and to the extent they need to, the courts and legislative branches. And I would add, the military. Their takeover will be complete. All that will remain is the implantation of the enemies of the State list and the liquidation of the same. A/l/a Hitler, Stalin, Castro and Mao. but, then again, it is what a majority of voters said they wanted.

Accept Caesar's coin, do Caesar's bidding. Agreed.

All that will remain is the implantation of the enemies of the State list and the liquidation of the same.

That list has been part of the public record since at least 2010, as documented on FR threads. And the Leftists have been telling us for the past 50+ years that that's their ultimate end-state.

None of this could be happening if Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were alive. Or if there were an opposition party.

One simply cannot blame the régime for doing exactly what its Maximum Leader said it was going to do.
