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."

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

The official statement, the first one, was obviously written by staff. (Note the reference to the “Lord’s day,” which no good Muslim would say.) Then comes the real Obama as he fields questions. He just can’t help himself. It’s whitey’s fault. It’s the police department’s fault. Once a community organizer, always a community organizer.

Is this what the lyin’ king wants to hear? “I’m a recovering LEO and you never really get over it. So, yes, we are a problem for criminals and ne’er do wells. We need counseling constantly. We probably shouldn’t be trusted around firearms either.” Something like that?

I could barely understand what obama was saying due to all that stuff in his mouth all the time. You know; the same stuff sewers are filled with.

Not only should this guy be impeached but then ask him which other country he would like to live in. We will then admit our failure to comply with his needs and assist him to another country who will better serve him.

Really Obama, the same guy that stated, “if they bring a knife to the fight, we will bring a gun.”

The backlash against the Democratic Party is going to be enormous.

No, it won't. This is the same country that elected him twice and has all the resources of the media and academics covering his sorry ass. A big portion of the population either thinks he's right or really doesn't care.

Yea, blaming the cops for being murdered will go a long way to defuse the situation. (spit)

So let me get this right. Jugears really thinks that his groupies should go kill police officers willy nilly. That just about sums up what he is saying

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.

This is gravely insulting to law enforcement officers across our country, and the timing couldn't be worse either. It's like going to a funeral of someone who was killed in a car wreck and asking the widow, "Was your husband at fault? I know he wasn't very careful sometimes. Real shame."

He will go down in history as THE president for failed personality disorders.

Typical liberal heavy head trip. The officer getting shot at just because of his wearing a uniform gets told that he is the problem.

” and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these protesters.”

No, there’s not, and you know it, but you don’t care, because you are a wackadoo liberal with an agenda.

There is ZERO evidence on any study that unarmed blacks are being gunned down by racist cops for sport, BLM, You and the inflammatory rhetoric you espouse daily is what is at the heart of this, not proof or studies.
