Confronting another killing of police officers, President Barack Obama on Sunday urged Americans to tamp down inflammatory words and actions as a violent summer collides with the nation’s heated presidential campaign.

Obama said the motive behind Sunday’s killing of three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was still unknown. It was the latest in a string of deadly incidents involving law enforcement, including the police shooting of a black man in Baton Rouge and the killing of five officers in Dallas.

His soul rotting in hell is why we have so much hell reigning in America now. You might check the bible for a proper prayer for kings and all who are in authority.

The police acted stupidly

If I had a son

Justified anger

etc etc etc

And he regularly meets with BLM protest organizers... the same BLM mob that chants “F the police”.

Obama is calling for you to be a dhimmi. He’s on a jihad, make no mistake about it.

To paraphrase. “one of my boys done killed some cops, but Trump shouldn’t gain support over it. Keep quiet, and forget that it was a black who killed them.”

How about this:

He emerged from the session saying "we're not even close" to the point where minority communities could feel confident that police departments were serving them with respect and equality or where police departments could feel adequately supported at all levels. He also said the country would have to "just grind it out" in solving the tensions.

Islamic Strongman Barack Obama specifically mentioned the convention and declared that divisive language was not permitted. Strange set of priorities, but not surprising considering that he was mentored by his close personal friend, Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers. It’s no coincidence that this weekend was termed “Days of Rage,” a term coined by Ayers to describe his 1960’s terror campaign.
