Obama Praised Baltimore Police He's Now Investigating

Law And Order: Just two months ago, President Obama held up the Baltimore police force as a model of unbiased community policing. Now he's investigating it for civil-rights violations. What's changed?

In a March White House report on police reforms, Obama and his Task Force on 21st Century Policing praised Baltimore's force and its black chief for "implementing national best practices for policies and training," including "use of force" reforms. His task force even quoted Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, who said he changed "outdated procedures" that "put officers at odds with the community."

Why does he keep launching investigations into police discrimination and portraying cops as rabid racists? Because these probes provide a political justification for federalizing local police forces.

IBD nailed it in my view.

I have no idea.

But it doesn't look like Obama was a fan of "The Wire" if any of this this surprises him. (Were the only ones who watched the series conservatives and libertarians?)

Democrats wrecked Baltimore, then blame/investigate the cops and whites in particular. Hmmm....sounds fair.

Heh. Team Valerie ALSO had just praised/awarded BP right before that oil spill, remember???

How many companies has Valerie sent the man child to praise, and a few months later those same places are out of business or laying people off?? Seems to happen a lot.

Yep, 0bama and his slick pal Val and team want it both ways and often times get it.

It’ll be a great day when they’re gone if we’re still here to celebrate.
