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.

Obama said it hurts the cause. That makes him complicit.
Sounds more like coaching to me. Every time he opens his fat mouth it just makes things worse.
Obama to activists: Don’t say ‘stupid’ things
_________________________________________________
Seriously, is he coaching them?
is this the same guy who said the police acted stupidly before he knew the circumstances?
Obama is not against the black racist war on cops and whites.
He merely thinks their overwrought rhetoric makes them look bad.
For Obama, its a tactical issue, not a change about which side he is on.
Obama is not a guy who likes to be bothered with the facts.
Reading the tea-leaves - Obama and his radical political advisors most certainly supported, organized and controlled his fellow street agitators, and directed their actions in Ferguson and now elsewhere for specific political goals
He did not plan on cops being shot in this operation, so now needs to signal to some of the more rogue elements to tone their efforts down somewhat.
I actually wish Barack well at calming these fiends down. He’s going to need some proverbial chill pills himself.
To really do it right, he will need God. Sometimes people won’t go for God until there is nothing more left to lose. The hangers-on, at least, in BLM may be moved by heartache that has been rubbed sore by the devil. It’s easy to say we should lose race consciousness, but this is difficult for a lot of people to do. Instead of losing race consciousness, the better tack may be to deal with race in positive terms. If black America is going to end up being known as heroes, however, it needs to lean on a Source that will empower it to be heroes. And God is the only such Source. Marxism, whatever won’t cut it.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who says the most stupid things?
Zero is 3rd after the Pope and Hellary.
Pot is asking the kettle to lighten up. Maybe that’s a start.
And I suppose any other violence on their part is okay?
the reform cause.. aka.. chaos rules..
What level of retard thinks there are 57 states in the United States? Does not being able to count the number of stars on the Flag indicate retardation?... Or just affirmative action?
Well he did say it.
Now he realizes that there are other people who have acted stupidly.
Obamanites coaching their Uruk hai. Loretta has already encouraged them to `soldier-on’.
The same level as doesn’t know what a nuclear triad is? (Trump incident)
Saying that rhetorically. I have very little beef with Trump. People learn. Yes, a Kenyan mindset (whether or not Kenyan born) could think of a whole different country, in which there are or were 57 states. But people learn.
Words -——— just words.
Needs to be prosecuted ≠ WILL be prosecuted.
Will they obey or will they rebel.
Can he make it anymore obvious that he is directing the BLM movement ?
