President Obama wrote an open letter to the nation's police officers Monday night to say "we have your backs," after two separate shootings in which eight police officers were killed in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
His letter was addressed to the "brave members of our law enforcement community" and was posted on the Fraternal Order of Police's Facebook page. Obama offered his unwavering support to police as they "do their difficult, dangerous jobs."
"I want you to know that the American people see it, too," the president wrote. "We recognize it, we respect it, we appreciate it, and we depend on you."
Obama said he will not use the current tense situations in many states "to divide police and communities you serve."

Yeah, didn’t want to do it too publicly like he beats the BLM drum, so drops a little note on thier FB page to keep it on the down low. Slimy little turd.

Police chief’s, sheriff’s and their unions should say sorry community organizer in chief the damage you wanted is done. Just shut up and go away.

Sure he does. He’ll even pat you there. He’s looking for a nice soft spot to stick the stabber into.

"His letter was addressed to the "brave members of our law enforcement community" and was posted on the Fraternal Order of Police's Facebook page. Obama offered his unwavering support to police as they "do their difficult, dangerous jobs."
I doubt that very many in law enforcement actually believe him, so is this directed at individuals outside of law enforcement?
But then, I also doubt that very many outside of law enforcement actually believe him, too.
I'd conclude that this is just a pathetic attempt to go through the motions of fighting the raging 4-alarm blaze that he started in the first place.

Obama has their 12 while someone his rhetoric has incited to violence has their 6 and is locked and loaded.

“we have your backs” = we’re worried and think we might need your votes.
To: Nachum
You mean, “we’re targeting your backs!”

This is what he told Israel, too, and to show what that meant, he and John Kerry hand nukes to Iran, Iran, Iran, the country that makes it clearer than clear that they want them to use them against Israel. You want a living nightmare? Imagine Barack Obama telling you he has your back.

Cops are not fools. They know this POS betrayed them long ago!
