Obama admits US police 'broken and racially biased'

2015-03-07

[Iran Press TV] US President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
has acknowledged that a new report about the Ferguson Police Department showed a "broken and racially biased system" within the country's police force.

Obama said on Friday that the police situation in Ferguson, where a white police officer rubbed out an unarmed black teenager last summer, was "oppressive and abusive," adding that it turns out "they weren't just making it up. This was happening."

"Are they going to enter into some sort of agreement with the Justice Department to fix what is clearly a broken and racially biased system?" President B.O. said.

He made the comments days after Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
unveiled the Justice Department's report that said the Ferguson Police Department systematically violated the civil rights of its black residents.

#11 Pardon me - I thought "will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"

by that criteria, a lot of the race baiters, CBC rent-seekers, race-hate assholes (Sharpton, Jesse, Crump, et al) are not MLK-approved

#10 It was so odd.
I was watching CNN and a couple bobbleheads were trying to figure out why DOJ had not dissolved the Furguson PD.

By the evening, this was announced.

So very odd.

#9 Racism start with the belief that the color of one's skin exempts one from the laws that apply to all others. In this case, rots starts from the top and infests an entire community.

#8 So if a town is 63 percent black and they let a white city council hire all white and racist police officers, whose fault is that? Why can't they elect a black mayor and city council to hire black police officers? I think they all got exactly what they deserve and they'll probably get even worse from Holder.

But in all fairness to Holder, this is all eerily reminiscent of George Bush the elder who sent his DoJ to prosecute the police who ~~beat~~ arrested Rodney King, another low life ne'r do well. The DoJ then continued to breath down the necks of LAPD officers for years after that. Racists, each and every one of them, you know. It all goes to show there are weenies on both sides of the aisle.

#7 Perhaps it is time to face the fact that the US government is broken and racially biased in favor of non-whites!

#6 Yep, with all of those unusual and mysterious militarized units in executive departments with no law enforcement function, you have to wonder what he might try to do with one stroke of the pen.

Hopefully someone with common sense can prevent it before we have a national gestapo or OGPU.

#5 Obama (Holder and Sharpton too) has been laying the groundwork for his “Civilian National Security Force.” Civilian Security Force.

#4 Meanwhile, NOT to be outdone by Holder, IIRC FREEREPUBLIC Artics earlier this AM > LOUIS FARRAKHAN = was quoted as calling for Black or African-American Soldiers = Servicemembers to desert their Units or Milbases, + return to their hometowns in order to [militarily?] defend-n-fight for their rights + loved ones???

#3 See also RUSSIA TODAY > HOLDER "PREPARED" TO DISMANTLE FERGUSON POLICE DEPARTMENT, IFF NECESSARY.

That's supposedly allegedly EX- or FORMER USAG HOLDER.

#2 The entire administration is a sewer of straw-men.
Mentally insufficient to govern.

I hope you are happy you nasty, filthy, disgusting democrats.
Obama is YOU.

#1 Everything these people say or do has an injurious, racial component. They really should seek professional help.
