President Obama cautioned Black Lives Matter activists against going too far, saying that attacks on police and overheated, irrational rhetoric undermine their cause.
"Whenever those of us who are concerned about failures of the criminal justice system attack police, you are doing a disservice to the cause," Obama said in remarks to reporters in Spain, where he is traveling. "Any violence directed at police officers is a reprehensible crime and needs to be prosecuted," he said.
Even rhetorically, if we paint police with a broad brush, or "say things that are stupid or imprudent," it risks losing ground for the reform cause, Obama said.

M. Possible.
LOL! Don’t say stupid things? HELL, look who’s talking!
Barry made a career saying stupid stuff.
Only AFTER he pushes the buttons.
Worst president ever
The word “we” in there tells it all.........
Obama: “It’s okay to murder white people, but don’t say stupid things.”
Black activists and Rappers routinely call for the killing of the police. So, it’s a cultural problem that is deeply embedded in the African American community. Obama’s words are empty and fall on deaf ears
"Cops acted stupidly"
“O to his front- line terror murder thugs: “don’t say stupid things” — translation: “that’s MY job!”
Even rhetorically, if we paint police with a broad brush, or “say things that are stupid or imprudent,” it risks losing ground for the reform cause, Obama said.
What does Obama think about Black Lives Matter protesters, who chant as follows :
“What do we want? Dead cops!! When do we want them?? Now!!!”
“Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon.”
I have yet to hear anyone in the media, speculate that the demented Micah Johnson was INSPIRED by Black Lives Matter rhetoric such as this. Yet it’s likely in his demented state that he was so inspired. But we’re apparently not allowed to talk about that.
It’s ok to speculate and talk of racism if a demented white man shoots people at a black church, but NOT ok to talk about racism if a demented black man says he wants to kill whites and especially white police officers.
This is where we are in politically correct world we live in. You just aren’t allowed to say certain things, otherwise be condemned as bigoted somehow.
Such a well spoken _resident....
That's what I took from it too, Cause chaos, but maintain plausible deniability.
Or leave it to Governor Goofy Dayton of Minnesota who said the guy would not have been shot if he was white.
Sounds like he's not just sympathetic to BLM, but that he's an active member.
Obama is belatedly realizing BLM isn’t helping Hillary.
The horse has fled the barn.
In 1959, AAMD set the IQ threshold for mental retardation at < 85.
The civil rights movement of the next decade forced psychologists to rethink this boundary, because half the African American population fell below it.
In 1973, responding to this concern, AAMD (by then AAMR) changed the threshold for retardation from IQ < 85 to IQ < 70. The boundary moved south by one standard deviation!
The proportion of blacks below the threshold instantly dropped from about 50 percent to 12 percent. Subsequent refinements made it still more difficult to meet the criteria for retardation.
When Binet in 1905 produced the first IQ test, it promised to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of mental retardation. A half century later it came under attack for reasons Binet could not have imagined. Could any of the pioneer psychometricians have foreseen Larry P. v. Riles (1979), a California class-action suit that focused on IQ testing of young black children? The court held that IQ tests were not valid for African Americans.
It banned California from using the tests for placing black students in classes for the “educable mentally retarded” or equivalent categories on the grounds that the tests were biased. After a series of appeals, the district court ruled that no special education related purposes exist for which IQ tests could be administered to black pupils.
Though only a California ruling, the case began a political assault on standardized testing that has spread beyond the IQ test to college entrance exams, promotional exams and more.
