At his end of the year press conference on Friday, President Obama addressed the task force on race relations he put together following the grand jury decisions of the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases. The president says the report will not be "abstract musings" but instead "concrete, practical things" that law enforcement agencies can "begin implementing right now to rebuild trust between communities of color and the police department."
"The task force that I formed is supposed to report back to me in 90 days," President Obama said. "My intention is to, as soon as I get those recommendations, to start implementing them. Some of them I'll be able to do through executive actions, some of them will require Congressional action, some of them will require action on the part of states and local jurisdictions."

Mr. President,
My recommendation is that you and your attorney general stop associating with racial arsonists like Al Sharpton.

It will find that all Whites are racist and he will use it to justify further repression, and confiscation of money.

The chants in NYC two nights ago from protestors...’who do we want to kill?” Answer was ‘police officers’ meaning ‘white cops’...basically.
The rile up of the race baiters will fall right into this Shakkur woman, who killed a white cop and is on FBI wanted list, who escaped to Cuba in 1979. There were 16 cop killings across USA from this Black Liberation Army group....ties in with Black Liberation Theology.
Obama will pardon her and point to these protests..Sharpton or Jackson will call for her pardon if extradited to USA> White cop will be blamed.

I’m not sure why you are so enthusiastic; our side surrendered. We are merely isolated pockets of resistance.

I am white, but I love fried chicken, water mellon and BBQ ribs—so I will be immune from all of this.
