Obama blames America first for bad cop incident in Minneapolis

Just as race riots lay waste to Minneapolis and cities well beyond, out comes the baleful presence of Barack Obama, to hector the nation that elected him that it's full of racism.

Here's his blame-America-first statement, via NPR:(see below)

The rest of the 'as we expected' from obxxx:

It's natural to wish for life "to just get back to normal" as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us. But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly "normal" — whether it's while dealing with the health care system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in a park.

This shouldn't be "normal" in 2020 America. It can't be "normal." If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives up to its highest ideals, we can and must be better.

It will fall mainly on the officials of Minnesota to ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death are investigated thoroughly and that justice is ultimately done. But it falls on all of us, regardless of our race or station — including the majority of men and women in law enforcement who take pride in doing their tough job the right way, every day — to work together to create a "new normal" in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts.

Reverse discrimination has become normal.

Obama is an angel of death.

The man has overturned so many countries overseas, and even promoted “regime change” in the USA. He constantly pushes racial and social victimhood for political power, and then blames others when those who has agitated turn out to burn their own cities.

In 2019, 17 blacks were killed by police officers...

In 2019, 7,487 blacks were killed by blacks...

Why is nothing ever said about this by the “offended” blacks?????

Minnedishu is not "America".

Isn't it interesting how Soetoro and Richard Trumpka have slithered out from under their rocks to hiss their little opinions to us?

Obama and his disciples fostered this blame America, and police hating culture knowing that insurrection is the desired outcome. Those who came out early as demonstrators for what happened to Floyd were probably legitimate, but the scene quickly changed as organizers from “Black Lives Matter” and “Antifa” took charge and used Floyd as an excuse to spread it al every urban area. Those two organizations are proven champions of anarchy and are putting on a clear display now.

I hear all this blame laid all over the place - on the media, on Trump, on white supremacists, on America First.

One thing you’ll never, ever hear is the riots blamed on the rioters themselves.

That would be racist, of course.

Ah, the double standards of the left on full display.

Bammy implying that it is "normal" for white LEOs to kill minorities. Quite a stretch there bammy but ok, let's see where this takes us.

Because this is "normal" he (and far too many others) feel justified in condemning all LEOs and all whites. We're all racist killers.

Similarly the left condemns all firearms owners for the actions of a few. We're all "gun nuts" and just waiting for some excuse to shoot people.

The left considers us all "bitter-clingers."

...and on and on. The left has no problem with prejudice, generalizations, and profiling - when they are applying it to people and ideas they disagree with.

Let's look at how the left sees itself...

Apparently even though illegals are by definition criminals the left has no problem turning a blind eye to that fact.

Apparently even though illegals commit a disproportionate amount of crimes the left has no problem turning a blind eye to that fact.

Apparently even though the vast majority of terrorist attacks are initiated and carried out by people claiming to be Muslim, the left has no problem turning a blind eye to that, and objects to even acknowledging these "workplace violence" acts as religiously inspired terrorist attacks.

Even though certain lefts' predilections for rape and pedophilia were and are on full display the left has no problem turning a blind eye to that. They'll even attack the victims for daring to impugn their darlings.

Ah yes, the left... Hypocrisy, double-standards, thy name is democrat.

Why Wray’s FBI focuses on “white supremacists” when there are clearly groups of organized anarchists is beyond me. How can they not know who they are, who is paying the people on the street, and how they are connected to each other?

Where will Obama be when CWII is official? At his compound in Martha’s Vineyard, throwing a stack of 100s on the fire to keep warm.

FUBO - communism is not the answer and you know full well that if we were truly an oppressed and communist state these “peaceful protests” would’ve been shut down yesterday by force.

As China, you’re most favorite nation, has done repeatedly this year.

USA! USA! USA!

As expected, bammy fires the flames of racial hatred. After all, he is expected to do his part in creating a major crisis for Trump, the second this year. It’s another trap for Trump. No matter what he does, they will call him racist. It’s about toppling Trump.
