If not this one, a different one. LA riots, Ferguson, Baltimore ... it's inevitable.
One thing to be counted on, when it "goes off" widespread, it will be over an imagined outrage, not over "facts."
CNN reporting 4 officers shot, one deceased, other three not life threatening. Targeting police today reeks of a BLM revenge operation.
An emotional President Obama declared on Thursday that all Americans should be troubled by fatal police shootings this week of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, saying that they were symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system.
Speaking in Warsaw, and citing statistics that showed that blacks were far more likely to be arrested and shot by police, Mr. Obama asked Americans to try to understand that many people in the country think they are being treated unfairly.
When incidents like this occur, theres a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if, because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same, he said. And that hurts. That should trouble all of us.
To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness. Its just being an American, Mr. Obama said. And to recognize the reality that we got some tough history and we havent gotten through that history yet.
