Police group director: Obama caused a 'war on cops'
Politico ^

Posted on 07/08/2016 5:28:17 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

The head of a law enforcement advocacy group lashed out at President Barack Obama in the wake of the Dallas shootings that left five police officers dead, accused the president of carrying out a "war on cops."

“I think [the Obama administration] continued appeasements at the federal level with the Department of Justice, their appeasement of violent criminals, their refusal to condemn movements like Black Lives Matter, actively calling for the death of police officers, that type of thing, all the while blaming police for the problems in this country has led directly to the climate that has made Dallas possible,” William Johnson, the executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said in an interview with Fox on Friday morning.

Johnson said although the Thursday night shooting of law enforcement officers reminded him of “the violence in the streets in the 60’s and 70’s,” he pointed out how Obama’s response appeared different than his predecessors. “I think one of the big differences then was you had governors and mayors and the president — whether it was President Johnson or President Nixon, Republican or Democrat — condemning violence against the police and urging support for the police,” Johnson said. “Today that's markedly absent. I think that's a huge difference, and that's directly led to the climate that allows these attacks to happen.”

“law enforcement today is a long way from the police of the 40s and 50s.”

Asinine statement.

NOTHING today is the same as the 40s and 50s.

We brush off the loss of the good as well as of the bad? It sounds like the most asinine statement here is yours.

WHen asked by POLITICO (yeah right) if he caused a “war on cops”, President Obama said with a grin, “Yes I did”.

At that point the Politico reporter dropped dead of shock. Details on P. 30.

When asked if he opposed “lynch mobs”, Obama said, “Why should I? I have my own Lynch Mob at DOJ”.

WHen asked if he actually understood what he was saying, Obama said, “What difference does it make now? I’ve only got a few more months left to destroy America, so step out of the way, peasant.”

There are quite a number of left wing radicals that would like to see the Feds take over local police forces, and a lot more.

Food for thought.

Obama is a useless pile of excrement and is trying to start a race war.

Another law enforcement type was interviewed this morning on Fox and said every cop he knows hates Obama or at least has nothing good to say about him.

Then there’s Sheriff David Clarke...what can I say, I love that guy...nobody hits Obama harder than he does.

I CANT IMAGINE one cop (besides his sons, and not all of them) voting for him.

Oh, and i’m sure he’ll get some single female cops with kids. It’s newest fad.

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals dedicated to Satan. Pleased to meet you, Barack Obama…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c03d0NAK3vk

…just as every cop is a criminal…and all the sinners, saints…

Barry & Hillary…align with Alinsky. Greatest war on cops in American history. Also responsible for the greatest refugee/invasion scheme in American history.

War criminals

Fundamental transformation

Unfortunately in the post modern world, We the People include rabid gang bangers. Those are the people getting killed by cops in great numbers. And they deserve to be killed. And if they were men they would not whine like babies when their actions get proper responses. You realize rule number one in a community dominated by gang bangers is never call the police. That is what police face every day. What happens up top is immaterial to that. If our society was self policed, these gang bangers would be getting killed by us.

“Asinine statement.”

You beat me to it.

When I read the original poster’s comment, my immediate response was: “Gee, ya think?”
