As National Guard troops responded to rioting in Baltimore, President Barack Obama said Tuesday that there have been too many troubling police interactions with black citizens across American in what he called "a slow-rolling crisis." But he said there was no excuse for rioters to engage in senseless violence.
Obama said people in Baltimore who stole from businesses and burned buildings and cars should be treated as criminals. "They aren't protesting, they aren't making a statement, they're stealing," Obama said.
Obama spoke at a White House press conference with the Japanese prime minister the day after violence broke out 40 miles north after the funeral for Freddie Gray, a black man who died in Baltimore police custody under mysterious circumstances.
Obama said the case should prompt some "soul searching" in America about communities where young men are more likely to end up in jail or dead than completing school. He said police shouldn't be expected to do the "dirty work" and solutions should involve early education, criminal justice reform and job training. He said American can't just "pay attention to these communities when a CVS burns."
"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. It comes up, it seems like, once a week now," Obama said. He said it's not new, but there's new awareness as a result of cameras and social media.
Obama has been struggling with the issue since protests erupted last year over the death of Michael Brown, a black teenager who was shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury decided not to indict the police officer, Darren Wilson.

but when Muslims kill Americans...no call for soul searching by obama.
I'm troubled by the endemic criminality in the black population of America. They break laws too frequently and end up under arrest too frequently.
As a white man who has been working since age 12, I'm sick of paying for these thugs, the necessary police presence to control them and prisons to house them.
Watch COPS a few times to see these thugs in all their glory. Scummy lying morons. I'm amazed that police demonstrate so much self-control.
Quite frankly, I think that the police are not being critical enough on one certain black man Mr President! You!!
I am not familiar with Asian courtesies, but I imagine that Professor Obama’s lecture on the Baltimore riots was humiliating to his Japanese guest, who was there to discuss trade issues.
Too many blacks with troubling interactions with police.
It is a shame, yes indeed. Most people when they encounter the police leave in a few minutes and it’s a positive experience. Yes I has some negative ones when I was a long haired kid growing up in Southern California. But that’s all past now. When you are detained or pulled over, relax, be nice, respectful and the stop will be over in a few minutes. But if you have been arrested 20+ times, and you are acting in a way that gives the police cause, well, you did it. Cooperate

Yes, one must never arrest a black absent five black witnesses to the alleged occurrence. In addition, no jury trying a black shall have any whites on the panel. Lastly, the judge, attorneys, court clerk and stenographer shall all be black. One of the rules of evidence being no white man may testify against any black.
And if a black so much as suffers a paper cut in custody, we reserve the right to burn the city down, and have the taxpayers to pay for building it right back to where it was before.
Yeh Duh Barry. Like the rest of us have not noticed. Looting and burning have nothing to do with police oppression. The guy with the 6 pack of toilet paper didn’t look to troubled last night. :-)
WTF...did he really say that?
NATION OF LAWS ...that is where I want to live.
My black friends NEVER have police problems! Maybe because they are hard-working, family people who have morals. They are not wild, tribal, ‘give me my money’ street trash.
Thanks for the ping!
Its not because they are black, its because they are stupid.
I must have missed the article where Obama condemned the police raids on homes in Wisconsin...
Class and Race war is a two way street.
The golfer just declared war on the working class citizens of the USA.

TOO MANY b l a c k criminals....OBAMA
Some scholars believe the huge investments in welfare and dubious anti-poverty programs (“libtard guilt money”) that flowed into urban neighborhoods after the riots helped undermine minority family structure and bred increased violence by unruly young men along with a drug culture.
oh yeah...take a look at young freddie’s rap sheet.... yazza obama take a long hard look, you pothead coke snorting racist... and what diet are you on that has you “slimming”... been slimming ever since rev al’s visit and he’s slimming too..... coincidence..???????
