If these police acted improperly or criminally, then arrest them, prosecute them and deal with them through our legal system. But if the president says, "I understand why these people are doing what they are doing." he gives these protestors legitimacy and a green light to engage in violence, riot, burn, cause mayhem and destroy property. Once it starts, then it gets escalated by the opportunists, real criminals and anarchists who take the chaos to an even higher level.
Obama, Sharpton, Jackson and all of these black racists need to shut up and stay out of the way. They only make it worse.
Well said.
