What, other than its racial aspect, can explain why Obama is so hung up on Ferguson? At the Congressional Black Caucus dinner Saturday, he was back stoking the embers.
Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black or driving while black judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.
Obama is here implying that Michael Brown was profiled, judged guilty of walking while black, when shot and killed.
But that is false, and Barack Obama knows it is false.

The ONLY documentation on Obama is that he is a LIAR,
and a Moslem LIAR, one who has already brought
WMD (tuberculosis and EV-68) to 40+ of his 57 states.
Poor poor Barry.
Now that his racist cohort in crimeis leaving as A/G, who will help him in hating all them damn white people?
Did Wilson shoot Brown in a racist rage? Or did Wilson, face battered and eye socket smashed in a fight with the 290-pound, 6’4″ Brown, empty his gun in self-defense?
Wasn't the smashed eye-socket debunked?
Now some Ferguson cops are wearing wristbands reading, “I am Michael Wilson,” to show solidarity with their fellow cop who is in hiding for fear of his life.
Michael Wilson?
Saturday night, a Ferguson cop was shot in an incident unrelated to August. But Chief Jackson and State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson have told the Washington Post their officers have been repeatedly threatened and, since August, have come under gunfire.
Unrelated? Someone better check ol' Pat's medications here. He seems to be way off his game today.
ValJar, silly.
Shoot, he probably believes by focusing on Ferguson Obama is merely falling Netanyahu's orders.
Yeah, I guess it does really try the brain when you are working to figure out how to milk a race issue in order to further your utopian agenda.
Oh wait. That's why he doesn't have enough time to defend US citizens against muslim attacks and ISIS aggression.
we have gone from having a C.I.C. to having a N.I.C.

Shirley(sic) you jest!
Don’t take ANYTHING away from da man...he be HNIC.
Your tagline is more than appropriate...(EEH & PN couple of my ‘heros’ - course EEH comes from dissenter stock <: <: <:)
Meanwhile
BONERO not only is fiddling while ‘we’ burn, he is stoking the flames.
"Guilty of walking robbery while black"
Foreign agent using race as a weapon. The Presidency has been sacked.
We do not know. And neither does Barack Obama.
We don't know for certain, but anyone of sound mind knows which scenario is far more likely. Ask yourself this - how many cases are there of a white cop just randomly shooting a black person walking down the street, as opposed to confrontations where the black person in question is the perpetrator. Probably about one to million odds.
From his association with Jeremiah Wright, it should have been apparent that Obama would eventually show his true colors as a representative of extreme Black Nationalism and Afrocentrism rather than of the American people. His comments here and about Trayvon Martin only proved beyond any doubt what most of us already knew.
Even the Obama-Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People must be aware that outrageous charges against law enforcement is b.s. (Of course they know.)
Even under Obama-Holder there were studies of the issue.
My summary of STUDY FINDS SOME RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN PERCEPTIONS OF POLICE BEHAVIOR DURING CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC
An estimated
Contact between police and the public
The majority of persons
thought the police behaved properly during the contact. Less than 5 percent filed a complaint.
Black drivers were more likely than
to be pulled over in a traffic stop; 13%, 10% and 10% respectively.
Less than one percent each
were (equally) likely to be stopped in a street stop. Blacks were less likely than whites and Hispanics to believe the police behaved properly during the encounter.
About
believed they were stopped for a legitimate reason.
For the traffic stops
67 percent, 74 percent, and 84 percent respectively believed the reason for the stop was legitimate.
When residents and officers are
the residents were more likely to believe
About
The majority of both did not believe the police had a legitimate reason for the search.
White drivers were searched at lower rates than
About one in eight U.S. residents
Police response
were satisfied with the police response; and
who reported a crime or neighborhood disturbance thought the police were helpful.
For noncrime emergency
to think the police were helpful; 83 percent, 96 percent, and 94 percent respectively.
Other findings include―
"In 2011, there were small racial differences in the percentage of drivers who were ticketed. A greater percentage of black (7 percent) and Hispanic (6 percent) drivers were ticketed than white drivers (5 percent)."About one percent of drivers pulled over in traffic stops had physical force used against them by police. Of these drivers, 55 percent believed the police behaved properly during the stop.
"About six in 10 requests for police assistance involved face-to-face contact with an officer."
"These finding are based on the Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS), a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey, which asked a nationally representative sample of U.S. residents age 16 or older about experiences with police during the prior 12 months.
"The reports, Police Behavior during Traffic and Street Stops, 2011 (NCJ 242937) and Requests for Police Assistance, 2011 (NCJ 242938), were written by BJS statisticians Lynn Langton and Matthew Durose. The reports, related documents and additional information about the Bureau of Justice Statistics statistical publications and programs can be found on the BJS website at http://www.bjs.gov/."
My EMPHASIS ON SURVEY.
About 71% of persons involved in streets stops thought the police behaved properly, compared to 88% of drivers pulled over in traffic stopsIn 2011, less than 1% of the 241.4 million U.S. residents age 16 or older were involved in a street stop during their most recent contact with police (table 1; appendix table 2). A greater percentage of males (1%) than females (less than 1%) were involved in street stops during 2011. Persons ages 16 to 24 were more likely than persons age 35 or older to be involved in street stops. While no differences were observed in the percentage of non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic populations age 16 or older involved in a street stop, among those who were stopped, a smaller percentage of blacks (38%) than Hispanics (63%) or whites (78%) felt the police behaved properly during the stop.
Traffic stops were a more common form of police contact than street stops in 2011. About 10% of the 212.3 million U.S. drivers age 16 or older were stopped while operating a motor vehicle during their most recent contact with police.1 As with street stops, a greater percentage of male drivers (12%) than female drivers (8%) were pulled over in traffic stops. Across age groups, the highest percentage of stopped drivers was among drivers ages 18 to 24 (18%). A higher percentage of black drivers (13%) than white (10%) and Hispanic (10%) drivers age 16 or older were pulled over in a traffic stop during their most recent contact with police.
A higher percentage of drivers in traffic stops (88%) than persons involved in street stops (71%) believed the police behaved properly during the stop. White drivers pulled over by police (89%) were more likely than black drivers (83%) to think that the police behaved properly, while no difference was observed between the percentages of stopped white drivers and Hispanic drivers who thought that the police behaved properly. There was also no statistical difference in the percentages of black and Hispanic stopped drivers who believed the police behaved properly.
