Obama: Police Can 'Make the Job of Being a Cop a Lot Safer' by Admitting Their Failures

America's police will be safer when they admit they have a problem, Pres. Obama declared on Sunday at a bilateral event with the prime minister of Spain in Madrid.

Fielding a question on Sunday, July 10, about the violence against police in Dallas, Texas last week, which left five officers dead, Obama said police officers will be safer once they acknowledge their failures:

"There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these protesters.

"And if police organizations and departments acknowledge that there’s a problem and there’s an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions. And, as I said yesterday, that is what’s going to ultimately help make the job of being a cop a lot safer. It is in the interest of police officers that their communities trust them and that the kind of rancor and suspicion that exists right now is alleviated."

Mr. President, do the FBI statistics regarding race and crime reflect this belief that your party is promoting that black men in this country are being unfairly targeted by law enforcement? Not desperate impact, but real numbers like 1,2,3,4 type of numbers.

Actually, it would be a LOT safer if he just resigned. What a POS.

BHO is one really messed up man-child.
White momma named Stanley. Dies.
White hating muzzie daddy. Leaves.
2nd black daddy leaves, too.
Poor muzzie child then wealthy Hawaiian child.
Raised then by rich drunk commie grandparents in Hawaii.
Dope, queer & blackness discoveries in college.
Marxist-socialist & black theology indoctrination at university.
Dirty politics and community organizer training in Chicago.
Dirty IL senate campaign, then a top lib US senator, with zero accomplishments.
Now, our once great nation’s POTUS.
God help us!

I wonder how many shootings of blacks by police have ending up with legal action against the police in the past few years?

It seems that very few, so what in hell in Obama talking about?

Obama can make the job of being a cop a Lot safer by admitting he is a failure, instead of acting as a cheerleader for those who kill cops. He won’t, but the traitor in our White House could do that if he wanted fewer dead cops.
