Barack Obama: No Excuse For Baltimore Riots But America Must Do Some 'Soul Searching'
28 Apr 2015 President Barack Obama has condemned rioting in Baltimore, saying there was "no excuse" for the violence which erupted after the funeral of a black man who was injured in police custody. Freddie Gray, 25, was laid to rest on Monday. He died following a spinal injury sustained in police custody. Following the funeral, rioters took to the streets of Baltimore, torching cars, pelting police with stones and looting businesses in the city. Despite his condemnation of the rioters, Obama acknowledged a "slow-rolling crisis" in community policing, especially in treatment of African Americans. "We have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with individuals – primarily African American, often poor – in ways that raise troubling questions," he told reporters at the White House. "I think there are police departments that have to do some soul-searching. I think there's some communities that have to do some soul-searching. I think we as a country have to do some soul-searching."

LOL!
Search your own soul asshole
**********************************
The way he’s destroying America, I don’t think he has one.
...when it comes to Barack, there's always a butt.
No, President Zero, the DEMOCRAT mayor of Baltimore, solely DEMOCRAT city council of Baltimore, majority-minority police department and you are the ones that need to do the soul searching.
It’s your failed policies and your failed governance that not only lead to the death of Freddy Gray, but also lead ot unnecessary riots because of it.
It’s FAILED liberalism, Obumma.
Again, Obama inserts his scrawny “But” into the conversation…
Obarkys soul is lost.
Hope and Change navel gazing? Get bent O-boy.
three weeks ago, Freddie Gray was....well, just Freddie Gray....today he is the honored dead....
He's right.
How could America possibly have twice elected a racist, Muslim, Marxist, Community Organizer from Chicago as President who has no valid birth certificate, college records, legitimate Social Security number, or known girl friends?
Yes, as a country we have a lot of soul-searching we need to do...
My thoughts exactly. What a hypocrite!
After 6 decades of Marxist control it is way past time for some soul searching.
Pray America is waking
We shouldn’t be paying attention only when a kid gets shot or has his spine snapped?
FUBO!!!
Your innuendo is a constant indictment of society in general.
You Ass Holes are the ones always bringing up race.
The rest of us never think about it because we are concerned with a persons character and its content.
Your comments do nothing to calm an out of control mob. In fact, you allude to some weird approval.
A kid got shot? Who and what where the circumstances?
As far as I know, your AG, Eric Holder, hasn’t been able to find anyone in jeopardy of Federal Laws after they are exonerated at the state on local level.
Further, we have no idea what happened to Freddy.
We are hearing reports that he may have had an operation on his spine just a week or so before, which would explain why there were no other injuries to him but, even that report may prove wrong and it seems specious at this time anyway.
Beyond that, if Freddy was assaulted and his spine snapped as a result of his arrest then it’s on those cops to answer for their responsibility and most of America agrees.
ROTFLMAO!!!
FUBO!!!!!!
HAHA. It’s pretty humorous to hear those without a soul, suggest such a thing as “soul-searching”, to others.
