Obama Tells Police to Admit Errors - Compares Black Lives Matter to Abolition Movement

On Sunday three police officers were shot dead in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in an ambush attack. Three more were injured.

Just last week President Obama lectured American police officers to admit their failures. MRC TV reported:

There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these protesters.

“And if police organizations and departments acknowledge that there’s a problem and there’s an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions. And, as I said yesterday, that is what’s going to ultimately help make the job of being a cop a lot safer.

Obama also compared Black Lives Matter to the abolition movement in America.

And groups of people can petition their government, can protest, can speak truth to power. And, that is sometimes messy and controversial… You know, the abolition movement was contentious.”

I think Obama is correct. The BLM Movement is just like the Abortion Movement.

In the CNN interview with Lemon the other day, Sheriff Clarke mentioned that he’s been warning about this for two years.

But it’s been going on much longer than that, and longer than BLM.

It started when a Potus arrogantly stepped entirely beyond the legitimate boundaries of his office and criticized a local police department, saying that they ‘acted stupidly’.

Then he held a juvenile ‘beer party’ designed to show himself off as the arbiter of a dispute that should never have taken place. The police were following police procedure in order to PROTECT that snowflake Gates!

Obama has never been a President of the American People, and has never taken off, or risen above, his little ‘community organizer’ hat.

When will this ghastly man ever go away? Which of the five officers committed errors?

"Obama also compared Black Lives Matter to the abolition movement in America. "

The abortion movement evolved into an abortion industry designed for fun and profit. Is that the future of BLM?
