Obama: Police Must Hold Officers Accountable for Wrongdoing
New Max ^ | 04/29/15

Posted on 04/29/2015 6:37:49 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Barack Obama said the Baltimore riots show that police departments need to hold officers accountable for wrongdoing "instead of just the closing-ranks approach that all too often we see."

Obama said. "And obviously everybody is starting to recognize that this is not just an isolated incident in Ferguson or New York, but we've got some broader issues."

"I've seen this movie too many times before," he added.

I guess POTUS believes all 6 police officers are guilty as charged.

I expect the DOJ to file charges against all 5 officers very soon.

Citizens must hold politicians accountable for wrongdoings, too.

Obama is NOT part of the solution. He is part of the problem!

But he won’t recognise decades-old patterns of dysfunction and violence in the black “community”. I should smack myself for even typing that-of course he won’t, leftists never recognise anything until they can find a way to blame whites. Guess they haven’t figured out yet how to spin that the non-black victims of the knockout “game” brought in on themselves and deserved what they got.

Obama will be the next Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton once he is out of office. Book it.

Clown Prince nobama has spoken. The shocker is that this “transformer’s” popularity is rated around 50% now. Many are ignorant and deluded.

What about holding the rioters, looters, and arsonists liable, too?

This guy is fomenting hatred for the police.

And he is chief of our armed forces.

Wonder what he thinks about them?

"President Barack Obama said the Baltimore riots show that police departments need to hold officers accountable for wrongdoing.."

Superficially, this is one of very few statements this jackass has made that I can agree with.

There's more to it than that, though. First, who determines what is wrongdoing? The facts, after a thorough investigation of the circumstances? Or knee-jerk rioting fomented by activist agitators like Sharpton, Jackson, Holder & Obama who appear to be itching to stir up race-based confrontation?

Of course we must NEVER hold officials of the feral government accountable for their wrongdoings, right Barry?

Obama and Holder know the police are at fault and the black thugs are victims(in every case ) because they don’t need no stinkin’ facts...they got ‘feelings’...

Who is going to hold the Clintons criminally responsible for their blatant breach of bribery and racketeering laws?

Who will stop illegals and terrorists from pouring across our borders?
