On a Wednesday afternoon livestream, President Obama delivered an optimistic message about the protests gripping the nation in response to police violence: There is a change in mindset thats taking place, he said.
.@BarackObama: "There is something different here." We're witnessing a far more representative cross-section of America out on the streets, peacefully protesting That didn't exist in the 1960s."
In a town hall, organized through My Brothers Keeper, an initiative he launched as president, Obama acknowledged that while the last few weeks have been difficult, uncertain, and scary, we are also living through an incredible opportunity for people to be awakened to the ongoing reality of structural racismthe result of a long history of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and redlining.
He called on every mayor in the United States to review police use-of-force policies
This is not an either/or, he said of protesting and pushing legislative reform on the local level. This is both/and.
Comparing the discord and unrest of today to that of the 1960s, Obama said were today witnessing a far-more representative cross-section of America out there on the streets protesting than existed in the past. He credited the organizing and engagement of young people with forging popular support among a broad coalition of Americans regarding the need for transformative change in police use-of-force tactics. And he pointed to the Guide to Fair, Safe, and Effective Community Policing that came out of a task force he convened as president, stating that mayors and police chiefs across the country have been too slow to implement the reports recommendations.

The something different here is communist revolutionaries emboldened by the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Same old community organizer/agitator standing there with his arms folded across his chest to admire his work.
WHat surprised me is the DEPTH of the insanity that person was evidencing.
Yes, I still am taken aback by the level of debauchery to which this nation has sunk in many areas of it.
We needed to follow the Constitution and keep ineligible Kenyans from Indonesia out of the Oval Office like the founders specified.
Yes, the Weather Undergound didnt get the job done. The something different is Antifa.
That message was a worthless piece of garbage.
Everyday, Obuma gets closer to being arrested for treason. That upsets the black, racist, neo-nazi.
Welcome to my world!
Nope nothing new coming because of this riot. My taxes, insurance payments, and another round of indoctrination at work will be the same.
Same sh*t, different day.
and sons of british citizens and daughters of Indian and Jamaican citizens
You have my sympathies.
The Black Panthers, Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael started to organize the black power believers in contrast to the MLK followers.
Based on the Constitution and the good will of millions of Americans the Black community has received voting rights, freedom, affirmative action and and one of their own as a President.
What exactly do they think needs to be done further. Justice? Chauvin and the others are going to be tried in the most fair judicial system yet devised.
Now what? We really need to know.
So Hussein Obama’s army rioting, looting, burning, beating and killing is in his mind “peaceful protest”?
Why am I not surprised ?
Excellent point. Far too many times the leftists Scream police brutality over every little incident even win the video clearly shows the use of force was justified. In this case everybody sees it wasnt justified, however they will not let the narrative fit in and keep protesting as if the majority of people disagree with them that what happened to George Floyd was wrong.
What’s different this time are the Communist/leftist got these stupid easily led white idiots to shield and run interference for arsonist, rioters, Communist and killers.
Human shields if you will.
So, anyone dear ask him how in a democrat run city in a democrat run state, a.k.a. Minneapolis, you had that happen?
You mean to tell me all this was coordinated and not organic movement, Im shocked, shocked I tell you.
It bothers me no end that the USA has had a black President, Black Supreme Court Justices, Black Senators, Black House of Representatives, Black Attorney’s General, various Black Cabinet level Department Heads, and Black Generals of the Army. Yet we are charged with being on racist country that oppresses Black people.
WTF?
Yes...what a coincidence that we had the emergence of all these communist subversive groups under his administration and now they are totally out of control under President Trump. Pure coincidence.
