White House: America asks too much from police
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/11/17 | Nicole Duran

Posted on 07/11/2016 3:26:00 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama thinks people ask too much of their police officers, and that the recent wave of deadly shootings will only end when society tackles underlying social and economic issues in minority communities, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday.

During his scheduled meeting Wednesday with police and community groups, Obama will ask "what are specific steps that we can take to address some these racial disparities in our criminal justice system that are persistent and measurable?" Earnest said. "But what are also some steps that we can take to do even more to support our men and women in uniform...?"

Obama frequently discusses the matter and brought it up in Warsaw, Poland, when he arrived there for a NATO summit before a black man killed five Dallas police in a racially motivated shooting spree, Earnest said.

Obama "has talked at length … about what a difficult job our men and women in uniform have — that too often we ask our men and women in uniform, police officers — to confront challenges and communities that the rest of us would just as soon forget," Earnest said.

Obama can say anything he wants now. He can’t put the bullet back in the gun. He already shot his mouth off. It’s too late for him to throw the cops a bone. It’ll just get thrown back in his face.

What a utter hypocrite. Obama nurtured and supported the BLM and other of his red guards, who he sent out to the street with an Alinskyite political agenda, whose stock and trade was anti-police rhetoric.

Obozo speaking: local law enforcement is overburdened therefore I will be signing an executive order for the DOJ to take control of all LEO agencies across this country and to allow the UN to provide personnel to support the DOJ's effort. These UN personnel will be well equipped, sworn in as peace protectors and will have full latitude to deal with any situation that may result in civilian on civilian injuries. Like and kind to what Janet Reno did in Waco TX where she had to kill the children in order to save them, I will stand firmly behind any of the DOJ/UN personnel actions as long as they don't kill anymore black thugs or muslims, er, I mean citizens. /s

Of course, you can look at the statistics and determine that things were better economically for blacks before he took office.

That’s not that far fetched.

We do ask too much from the police.

1. Respect our 2nd Amendment rights.

2. Don’t go all roid-rage when we aim a camera at you. We have a right to do so.

3. Be sure you have a warrant when you go to search someone’s house.

4. Make sure you get the address right on that warrant before you bust in and shoot or kill innoncent people.

5. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean there’s a law against it. Don’t go making up laws on the fly and don’t try enforcing your fantasy laws on anyone.

6. Stop throwing everyone to the ground when you arrest them. If it isn’t necessary then it isn’t necessary. Knock it off.

7. Stop lying on your police reports. The video isn’t going to lie and you people should have figured this out by now.

8. Your job is not to enhance local revenue, your job isn’t to advance the Mayor’s political agenda, your job is to enforce the law and maintain order.

9. If all of the above is too much to ask then please turn in your badge and your gun and find another job.

10. If you can manage all of the above then thank you for your service and I hope you enjoy your pension when you retire! You’ll have earned it!

Now it’s our fault? Hey, Cop Killer in Chief, it’s you and your Democrat Party Policies that have enslaved the poor, stole their hope and future and then agitated them into violence.

“..This man is up to something...”

He has been since day one of his atrocious occupation of our White House. He has always worked toward inserting the Federal government between local law enforcement and the people. If he could, he would “nationalize” the local police function. Dictator. Totalitarian. And destructor of America and every level of its greatness.

King Obama refers to the made up, imaginary racial disparities that are as substantive as his own birth certificate or his love for America.

What a disgusting man.

But part of me agrees. When a McNugget is missing from a happy meal who is the first person a ghetto inhabitant calls? But if that same ghetto inhabitant sees a 6 year old child executed by a gang member they won’t say a thing.

Typical. Things get worse for the 7 1/2 years he’s in. Now he’s going to do something about it while blaming others. Democrat!

I see, don't call the police ... and, don't possess firearms. Just let the devil have its way. Just let community "organizers" overrun society as they see fit - they know what's best.

The “ . . . underlying social and economic issues in minority communities . . . .” are CAUSED by the people who inhabit said communities!

When and only when they choose to join civilized society by obeying the Golden Rule and the 10 Commandments will they be safe!

It is not Rocket Science, folks!

Resignation of the current Presidnet and AG would be good for starters.
