Former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett talks about the death of George Floyd and what needs to be done to prevent officer-involved shootings in the future.
(Snip)
JARRETT: "... before there were cell cameras, there were examples that didn’t get captured on video. And so this is a huge problem of breakdown of trust between police and communities of color.Every black family I know who has a son, worries about how they're going to fare when they leave the house, and now we've seen examples when you don’t even have to leave your house and you're put in harm's way. And I think that although I believe in peaceful demonstrations, I think these riots are symptomatic of a boiling over of anger that has been building up for generations, where people have lost confidence that the justice system will actually be just, that the rule of law will protect them.....
President Obama created a 21st Century task force that made very concrete recommendations, Gerry, about how to go about rebuilding that trust...
And so that trust really works both ways and keeps everyone safe. So what I would like to see is a better tone at the top, not one that's threatening violence and using guns to help quell this unrest, but rather constructively sit down and say, what can we do to bridge this gulf?

What is it that the complainers aren’t getting? They get just about everything paid for via other tax payers.
Rent, healthcare, food transportation (bus) and they get to sit around all day smoking pot?
And what the g’ment doesn’t dole out private charities do.
And here comes another jihadi leftist looking to fan the flames so as to destroy the United States and thus create a window for total domination by the leftist/islamic team of criminals.

Oh, they made recommendations?! Eight years... why didn't she and obozo do something? President Trump's administration enabled the creation of jobs, the single most important factor in ending poverty.
Well Ms Jarrett, when they are burning buildings and police cars, it is rather difficult to start a dialogue.
If young black men were afraid of cops or white people in general they would be much better behaved.
The Left was also posting they were hoping that such protesters a month ago would catch CV 19 and die.
Not a single social media post this week saying the protests were dangerous to society because of the potential spread of disease.
I have seen one city insisting that all protesters who went out this weekend should quickly go seek CV 19 testing. And then of course they will blame any increase in statistics of infection on trumps support for lifting the lockdown
“A boiling over if anger that has been building for generations“
No, it is a boiling over of anger that has been stoked by lies from the power hungry democrats/media for decades. Now, they are partnering with ANTIFA, BLM, and communist countries to create violent unrest, just like they did in the 60s with the SDS, Black Panthers and Sibionese Liberation Army. Nothing has changed.
I doubt that she knows any black family. And the Halfrican Obama doesn’t count as black.
All in DEMOCRAT one party rule areas. Perhaps it is the policies of the Democrats that has failed.
Blue states sure are expensive to the American taxpayer.
Forty or more years of brainwashing by universities. Once the 60’s hippies became perfessers.
What have they done for blacks...NOTHING
If you read Walter Williams....blacks and whites were at the same level in a lot of schools in the 1950s...
Now as Joe Biden would say blacks cannot read...
Trump should bring back the FDR ...conservation corps...
Take these sixteen and seventeen year olds when they get in trouble...
Make them work and educate them...the democrats sure cannot do it..
How dare you, Valerie Cabrini-Green, pretend of being concerned for the future of black men, women, boys and girls. You were perfectly happy profiting from stock-piling them in filth.
Yep. It’s a spiritual battle.
“I think these riots are symptomatic of a boiling over of anger that has been building up for generations, where people have lost confidence that the justice system will actually be just, that the rule of law will protect them.....”
Minneapolis has a black police chief and is under Democrat progressive rule at the local and state level. Why no faith in the justice system and rule of law in Minnesota?
The same is true in most of the cities where rioting is occurring. Democrat Mayors, and Democrat administration of justice. Black have been voting as a block for these progressive officials for decades, and many of the politicians, government bureaucrats, law enforcement officials, and other people responsible for the system have black skin. Why the lack of faith?
What a sad state we are in. People profiting and using excuses of people who lived 200 years ago. It will never be enough. The successful de-assimilation of blacks was the greatest crime in American history. Used for political gain and profit for decades.
The anger goes both ways b1tch. There is boiling anger against hundreds of years of democrat corruption that need to be corrected. The anger is very real and people just waiting to hold those responsible for their crimes.
I’m looking at you obama, jarret, holder, clinton, brennon, Clapper, rice, power, Comey, etc. On and on.
Building because it has been stoked by race baiters like Jarrett and Obama.
Lets just cut to the chase. This is nothing more than praising mob rule.
The elites can dress it up in liberal rationalization all they want. Its still what it is.
It accomplishes what they have been wanting all along and they get useful idiots to do it for them.
Useful idiot dead enders bred wholesale in today’s society by these elitist brainwashers who hide in their gated compounds while the rest of us deal with the consequences.
