Obama: Police Can 'Make the Job of Being a Cop a Lot Safer' by Admitting Their Failures
2016-07-18
America's police will be safer when they admit they have a problem, Pres. Obama declared on Sunday at a bilateral event with the prime minister of Spain in Madrid.

Fielding a question on Sunday, July 10, about the violence against police in Dallas, Texas last week, which left five officers dead, Obama said police officers will be safer once they acknowledge their failures:

"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. It is in the interest of police officers that their communities trust them and that the kind of rancor and suspicion that exists right now is alleviated."

Greeeaaat... blame the victim. Classy. How many more dead cop's blood will be on this wank wastes hand's from this remark?

#16  Can the police refuse to provide escorts and protection for Obama after he leaves office?

Well, others at least can make sure he's happy with a very diverse if not competent response team. Let's just call it his 'dream team', to match the fantasy world he lives in.

#14  My rhetoric contributed to the Arab Spring.
My rhetoric had nothing to do with the Turkey Coup.

My rhetoric gave rise to Black Lives Matters.
My rhetoric in no way condones violence.
My rhetoric can change the police culture.

My rhetoric solidifies my legacy, unless people die, then it is your fault.

#12  Question: Can the police refuse to provide escorts and protection for Obama after he leaves office? Because if an ex-president needs a Police Officer in a hurry, Obama may find himself waiting longer than some parts of Detroit.

#11  I've been paying attention to presidents since Eisenhower.

There has never in my lifetime been a more despicable person in any office. He is worse that the racists Wallace, Maddux, et al.

It is a very good thing that I will never meet him.

#6  Prue Leftist Freudian Projection on display. Fire up the base on Zimmerman, Ferguson, Baltimore and reap the wind you have sown, but always blame others for your work.


Proverbs 6:16-19King James Version (KJV)

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

#5  Sorry, I completely forgot about it's tie to the Little rascals. Hell, I'm surprised I remembered where it came from.

#4  Will we ever be rid, etc. It's his worshipers and true believers that worry me the most. When he's gone, there will be someone else to take his place, by "popular demand".
