At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said the video was "awfully hard to watch."
Earnest said he hadn't discussed the shooting with President Barack Obama but wouldn't be surprised if Obama had seen the video.
Earnest also discussed the impact the video evidence appears to have had on the investigation.

He’s sad to say,
He’s on his way,
and won’t be back for many a day.
His heart is down,
His head is turning around.
He had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

White House press conferences are hard to watch as well.

He really does hate whitey. I believe it’s one reason he is a muzzie sympathizer. He views Christianity as a white man’s faith.
He has never felt comfortable in his own skin. He feels more acceptance among blacks. He has an “us against them” attitude. He hates whitey.

Obama never passes up an opportunity to incite a riot. He has a history as a bomb thrower. Justice would be when he is consumed by one of the many conflagrations he has ignited.

His grandstanding after the Sandy Hook massacre, I found that pretty hard to watch. Also his attorney general getting a 77 million dollar gig at JP Morgan Chase, that was hard to watch as well.

Where is the taser? Was it the object that the cop went back and picked up, and then brought over and dropped by the body, what did he drop into the crime scene?

Choom, mon, choom.

What about other ‘caught on camera’ videos of robbings and killings by urban teens.
Heck thats just daily life in da hood.

Not sure what the cop did with the taser. But attacking and then running from the Po-Po ain’t too smart.

Probably so, but I found the Kenyan’s hateful remarks about Christians at his Easter prayer breakfast “hard to watch” too. Haters gotta hate. Just because he’s president, doesn’t mean he can’t hate.

LOL! I couldn’t find a thing about this vacation, only on White House Dossier website. I don’t go to .gov sites unless I really have to.

It appears that the cop behaved irresponsibly, and will pay for killing someone-but the WH does not need to offer up their comments every time there is an incident like this-just STFU and let the local authorities handle it-every time the babbler in chief says anything, it causes rioting, looting and hurts the economy of that community even more...

This is precisely why the White House needs to stay out of the business of commenting on legal cases.
So far, looks like SC is doing their job.

At this point, the handling of this incident should be of no concern of a President. It is a matter entirely within the purview of the local District Attorney, and Barack Obama is not competent to make known any personal observations or remarks regarding the issue.
He should mind his own business, determinedly decline to make any comment whatsoever, and direct any curiosity-seekers to the local authorities in charge of the investigation to assuage their hunger to interfere.
IMHO

To: Citizen Zed
"awfully hard to watch." Too reminiscent of what Obama's doing to Israel, I guess.
To: petercooper
As we can see, shooting people in the back and planting evidence wins even a cop, a murder charge.
That doesn’t seem very smart.

Well something made the cop shoot. I’m sure he just wasn’t having fun.
