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.

We wanted a President.

What we got is a black Archie Bunker.

Is this where Obama proposes a national police force to “relieve” the locals of some of the burden?

Yes, and he has just the recruits in mind...

So what has 50+ years of entitlement spending been all about? No matter how generous you are it will never be enough because $$ is not the underlying issue.

Sounds like code for “we need a Federal police force”.

FUBO.

True. I have always thought O disliked or even hated white people and Christians and wouldn’t put it past him if he tried to kill each and every one. He is scary and getting scarier buy the minute.

I also believe his hand is in all the incidents of late.

...”so, we, the white hut interlopers, would be happy to take over your police force, since you are asked to do too much...”

baloney - the feds may ask too much, but police officers, by and large know their job and do it well. Protestors as we now see them are out of the limitations of constitutional sanctioned free speech. I believe you will find them all under the control of outside influences.

Get the cameras off them and let them police.

I think “Don’t shoot the dog” needs to be in there.

He wants a globalist police force. This is the goal. First disarm us.

Resident obamarmadingdong thinks people ask too much of their police officers,,i>NOT</i> But is very pleased with the recent wave of deadly shootings, the fruit of of demonrats labors worked for ever since lbj and the demonrats foisted the lie of social welfare programs on the Black man so as to keep them under the thumb of democrats(read Plantation Owners) to keep them voting for the party that tore apart their family units, kept them in poverty and was responsible for the murder of millions of their children through abortion. The devil is smiling broadly as he listens to his puppet, obamaramadingdong.

What we got was an ignorant *sshole.

Archie Bunker, for all his curmudgeonly behavior, was neither.
