In the aftermath of the mass shooting of a dozen police officers in Dallas this week, some conservatives rushed to lay blame for the incident at the feet of the Obama administration.
Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh said on Twitter that "Obama's words & [Black Lives Matter]'s deeds have gotten cops killed." Rep. Roger Williams (R-Tex.) said, "the spread of misinformation and constant instigation by prominent leaders, including our president" contributed to the killings. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said the shooting had "roots" in the "anti-white/cop events illuminated by Obama."
These statements are part of a broader narrative of a "war on cops" carried out by the Obama administration and/or the Black Lives Matter movement, depending on whom you ask. It's certainly true that some shooters of police, such as the Dallas attacker, appear to be motivated by a hatred of white police officers or a twisted urge to seek revenge for police shootings of black Americans. But the simplistic and inflammatory notion of a "war on cops" is completely undercut by one fundamental data point: Intentional attacks on police officers are at historically low levels under President Obama.

Omg. Put him in a Kevlar vest and send him out to chicago’s front lines. Oh, yeah, better put a double depends on him, too.
This is Obama’s version of the “Pit and the Pendulum Horror Movie.”
Yet another fine piece of reporting by Christopher Ingraham.
Police are safer under Obama than they have been in decades
Brilliant deduction Chris, that's because all gun barrels have been aimed towards the un-armed citizens of the country. Do you take us for fools you brain dead non-intellect?
Though not as deadly as 911, terrorist incidences are happening at a much higher frequency since, or haven't you noticed you idiot.
Yep!! A real fine credit to the American nation,,,, the WaPo and Chris Ingraham.. We will now bow down and kiss your asses.
Oh really? When was the last time five officers were gunned down in the same city?
Whether or not there is a way to parse that language technically and then massage the statistics behind it in such a way that it meets Clinton Testimony Acceptance, there is a war on cops and it's identified in Obama's rhetoric - inclusions and omissions, Soros' funding of the BLM terrorist organization, the media's so called 'journalism', hostile, trumped up and fraudulent criminal prosecution of white cops where multi racial juries and grand juries always acquit, now commonly deadly attacks on police by black men for the purpose of expressing black hatred of the police, and anyone who is watching knows, these attacks' real intention (in addition to killing white people) is to provoke whites into doing something would actually justify one of their fake prosecutions and an excuse to do even more damage.
Parse your language how you want. That is what any reasonable man or woman calls a war - it is planned, calculated, has leadership, is strategic, tactical, is violent, seeks to confiscate property, characterized by propaganda, anger expressed with weapons, and is intended to destroy.
Obama and the justice department don't even need to bother hiding their intentions ... they encourage in plain sight they way you encourage a burglar into your house by pleasantly opening the door and saying 'take what you will, do what you want, the owners of this house deserve it, don't be discouraged.'
How can the democratic follower-ship be in such denial of their leaderships' and the media's intentions?
Betcha they’ll be selling a lot of Papers in Dallas.
Did he mention EXACTLY what Obama did to make the Police safer outside of saying “the Police acted stupidly” and calling the Police Racists (in so many words)?
Hands up, don’t shoot you Bitter Clinging Whiteys!
Read the fine print:
“It’s worth pointing out that in 2016, year-to-date officer fatalities via shooting only are up 44 percent over last year, according to the numbers compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial Fund.”
So they are up 44% since last year!!! Obama only looks good if you average it out over the last 8 years. During the Great Recession, all types of crime were down significantly, so I would give the credit to the Great Recession rather than Obama.
You just hit the key words. Shootings of cops are up under the Cop-Killer-in-Chief. Police fatalities from shootings are down because today's cops are more likely than ever before to wear quality vests.
Yeah and everyone’s working and we all got to keep our doctors too.
They want the police to become federalized. The drama over a couple people killed by police is way over the top. Soros said that America will become a police state. This is all orchestrated.
Let’s see, just last two weeks in no chronological order:
1) 100 dead and wounded in homosexual bar...was a muslime, 2)Dallas was a muslime,
3)BLM are front groups for M-b-hood and Soetero as evidenced by their WH meeting which are fomenting hate in the streets AND murder.
4)Farrakhan wants 10,000 army to kill whitey. Soetero and Lynch suggest( demand??) a UN army or World army( sorry didn’t read but the head ;lines on that one)
...hmm what else?
5)He ( Soetero) chooses to keep ( troop movement travesty) 8500 soldiers in Afghanistan.
666) Hillary exonerated by FBI...did I miss anything?
Oh brother. I wondered what the author was smoking... Then I saw Washington Post..... Enough said...
The don’t call it the Washington compost for nothing.
What is more clear is that the 0Bama Admin has been actively supporting radicals, whom when they flock together include Socialists, and out-and-out Communists who are actively trying to stoke up "revolution" (and by that I mean violent revolution, which has worldwide, long been a part of communist revolutionaries' technique).
The people who have been looking upon BLM as possible spokesperson for their own grievances, and the fags (a key BLM leader is a faggot 'black' queer) along with all the rest (young whiteys playing at being "socially" virtuous) are being used as pawns.
This is it. It starts with the current push for national standards for all law enforcement agencies which will prove impossible for many agencies leading to the take over by the Feds. Any federal funding will get pulled from any department out of compliance, you can figure out the rest.
Until Obama took office, the ambushing of police offers was vary rare, almost non existent.
When it happened it was usually a case of revenge by crime organizations
In the last few years we have seen the wide spread outbreak of random and unprovoked ambush killings of police officers.
almost 20 of which have occurred on the last 5 days.
Leftists always go for the stats when they have not a leg to stand on. We don’t have all these dead cops, no, we got numbers. Nothing but numbers.
