President Barack Obama called on the nation Monday to support and listen to its law enforcement officers as he bestowed the Medal of Valor on 13 officers who risked their lives to save others.
In a ceremony in the East Room, Obama draped the purple-and-gold ribbons around the necks of officers who intervened in shooting rampages, hostage situations and an armed robbery. He pledged to keep working toward a bipartisan overhaul to make the criminal justice system fairer, smarter and more effective so that officers are well-equipped to enforce the country's laws.

a new tune from the Lyin King.
Ferguson?
Three card Monte Dealer sure misses Eric Holder.....
We all remember “acted stupidly”. No sale, Obama.
Typical Obama. The cops all stood there in uniform, without their gunbelts on. Typical pussy mentality. I trust you enough to decorate you, but you must leave our pistol outside.
Hans Rudel was getting a medal from Hitler personally. The staff told him he had to leave his pistol outside. He said if the Fuhrer didn’t trust him he would refuse the medal and resign. He carried his pistol in.
...We all remember acted stupidly. No sale...?
He didn’t listen to the policeman who shot the gentle giant in self defense.
This man child is a disgrace.
I watched the service. Obama hated every minute of being forced to be nice to hero policemen.
Also real police are not communist a-holes like they are in New York.
Lying to the infidels again.
Well, he accused cops of being stupid practically the moment he was sworn in — this shows he still believes it.
While there the cops ought to have arrested the magic negro and beat him with their billy clubs
Obama says a lot of shit!
