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.”

First and foremost, I hate obama!

But,

Folks, the media and the obamit administration have blown on the flames, but it is not their fault, it is the fault of so called “law Enforcement” instead of policing. Google Police kill dog.

The police need to pick a side,

Are they going to continue to support, protect and kill for the Ruling Political Class and their masters in the Donor Class?

Or are they going to protect and serve We The People?

As Jesus said, “no man can serve two masters, for he will either love the one and hate the other...”

The police can not continue to support, protect and kill for the Ruling Political Class and their masters in the Donor Class and think there will be no retaliation.

I don’t know who the shooters are in Dallas, I have no idea who is killing cops all over the country, but this I do know, law enforcement today is a long way from the police of the 40s and 50s.

He didn’t cause it, he declared it.

Absolutely. Thing is people shoulda seen this coming when unpatriotic traitor Eric Holder called America a “nation of cowards.” The AG is supposed to be the nation’s top cop. That basically set the tone.

There has been a lot of cultural divide since then. A growing phobia towards private guns has been part of that. When was the last time there was a posse, except in a movie?

And callousness, where a sense of responsibility used to exist, has built up in many quarters.

Oddly enough they may start to find Donald Trump more attractive.

Thanks, anti-cop jerks. I really appreciate you guys for making sure that my next pull-over for a speeding ticket gets treated as a felony-stop since cops are being regularly killed at random now.

“The police can not continue to support, protect and kill for the Ruling Political Class and their masters in the Donor Class and think there will be no retaliation.”

I will admit that they lose a little credibility every time I hear of them enforcing unconstitutional laws saying, “We don’t make the laws, we just enforce them.” Sad, really.

That early “Beer Summit” was a huge warning of where zero’s goals.

But yeah I know what you mean about dog... but forget dog, one might need liquid nitrogen to approach the coldness and aloofness with which major f-ups are acknowledged.

There is a caring crisis, or perhaps I should say a not caring crisis. Every narrow little group forgets about a larger humanity, circles its own wagons, and then, maybe, it is a tiny bit less puzzling when we see the “BLM” crowd do it too.
