SICK. Barack Obama Trashes Cops as Racists in Statement on Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile

[Major Matt Mason]

The cop in MN was Asian, so we won't be hearing much about that incident going forward. Doesn't fit the race-baiting meme.

[Alberta's Child]

I think it is safe to conclude that the cops who shot Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile were not donors to the Clinton Foundation.

[JennysCool]

I can't even imagine the liberal cries of outrage if a Republican President repeatedly inserted himself into local police matters.

[ealgeone]

Funny how he never comments after a mass weekend of killings in Chiraq.

[i_robot73]

>He started a task force two years ago, and this killing is still happening???

Well, he didn’t server Colt45 during his ‘beer summit’, so.... /s

[Drew68]

Alton Sterling, a felon, deadbeat dad who was illegally in possession of a firearm, was shot while wrestling with police in Baton Rouge.

What was Philado Castile doing?

[Robert DeLong]

The Philando Castile shooting was most definitely uncalled for. At least on the face of it, from what we have seen and been told. He was not combative, he told the officer he was in possession of a legally owned registered weapon and the holder of a Concealed-Carry Permit. The policeman's dash cam may show something that we cannot see in the video his girlfriend shot and streamed, so I will hold final judgement. But what we do see and what we have been told as to how this went down, it does not bode well for this policeman.

Now when it comes to Alton Sterling, it also is disturbing but at least he was combative from the video I have seen. However, from what I have been told from my wife there is another video around that clearly shows (the video I found and watched was not that good), they had him down and could have taken him without the use of deadly force. I say this shooting is problematic as well.

Let me say that I always fall on the side of the police until proof is provided to show otherwise. In other words, I do not instinctively bash the police like some here do. All I can say is that I would not do the thankless job of being a policeman even if the pay was outstanding.

[Snark]

The guy in Minnesota worked for one of the school districts as a supervisor of the cafeteria. He was a legal conceal carry and told the police officer that. The cop shot him 5 times while he sat in the passengers side of the Car. His girlfriend filmed the whole thing and rather than start screaming like a banshee, she cooperated completely. So much so, that she continued to call the police “Sir” while her boyfriend is dying in her arms.

Even the governor, who has seen the footage, says it is completely over the top killing of a person who was completely cooperative.

It will be interesting to watch the outcome. That being said, don’t assume because he was black, he is a pants-sagging, ghetto thug, “wannabe rapper”. Not always the case. Sometimes, there are stupid, racist, pi$$ poor, cops.

[PGR88]

False flag, anyone? Do we even know if some of this sh*t isn't staged for the cameras?

It doesn't need to be staged. We are a country of 310 million. Every day, black, white, yellow people are involved with police in unclear circumstances. You just need to pick one, focus on it, have your media narrative already planned and focused, and get your people in front of the camera and out on the streets. Michael Brown was a perfect example. He was a thug, but it didn't matter - he was the kick-off event for that particular pre-planned political campaign.

[yuleeyahoo]

It’s worked well for him so far. Why should Obozo change now?

[Truth29]

Obama is at it again, now from Warsaw, Poland. He is urging that police forces adopt his commission recommendations for policing in the 21st century.

[PGR88]

These BLM agitators and the racist bigot in the oval office are doing great harm to law enforcement and this nation in general with their constant demonizing of cops

These are pre-planned political agitation campaigns, organized from Obama's political arm, the DOJ.

As you point out, in this huge nation, it is impressive how few such incidents there are - yet simple statistics tell us there will be such incidents occurring somewhere every day. So, just plan your political agitation street campaign, pick a suitable incident, and put your people in action.

Its a political strategy as old as time.

[fuzzylogic]

He’s obviously trying to race bait a race war so he can claim the need for martial law.

[RightGeek]

Point taken

[libertylover]

I am encouraged that the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation in Baton Rouge, and I have full confidence in their professionalism and their ability to conduct a thoughtful, thorough, and fair inquiry.

After Tuesday, I have ZERO confidence in a fair inquiry.

[Crucial]

That would put black cops in a lot more danger.

[faithhopecharity]

any cop who shoots anyone for racist reasons should be prosecuted and if found guilty, executed.

but
Obama has set American race relations back 100 years. (If he were an American....he might have instead helped, but social harmony, personal liberties, and economic opportunities make for a strong Amerca...exactly the opposite of Obama’s program)

(and black people are suffering greatly, along with the rest of us, under his commie regime, economically too, as employment and business opportunities are systematically destroyed)

[ought-six]

From what I’ve seen, the Louisiana incident was a justified shooting. From what I’ve seen, the Minnesota incident was NOT a justified shooting.

Make no mistake: I believe there are BIG problems with police behavior, procedure, attitudes, and Constitutional knowledge.

But I'm equally convinced that any problems with police have nothing to do with racial issues.

Whether it's Black men like the one from this incident in Minnesota, or White men like those involved in the recent standoff out west, wherein a patriotic citizen was killed needlessly, there are significant problems with police conduct at the local, state, and federal levels.

The bottom line is that there should be accountability, and it seems to me like all groups of concerned citizens, whatever their specific focus might be, are correct when they see a widespread problem as America morphs into a more militarized police state, with associated lack of concern for the well-being of citizens who, in all cases, are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Police officers are not supposed to be judge, jury, and executioner, and doing their job properly necessarily means subjecting themselves to elevated risk of their personal safety. So "shoot first and ask questions later" is not a proper attitude for American law enforcement to have. Indeed, it should be exactly the opposite, and anyone who has a problem with that notion shouldn't be associated with law enforcement in any way, shape, or form, IMHO.

Just like we have seen with the Hillary situation, it's undeniable that when people in power are conditioned to the notion that there will be no consequences (due to their "elite" status, and not being treated like one of the "little" people), an exceedingly dangerous double standard is introduced which invites Tyranny to come crashing through the door in all of its hazardous bluster. And creates a situation where the rule of law becomes essentially arbitrary and unreliable.
