[Breitbart] After a pair of police-involved shootings of young black men, President Barack Obama is drawing attention to the disproportionate rate at which young black men get shot or killed after coming in contact with police, but the data in Democrat-run Chicago paints a more nuanced picture that dispels liberal politicians’ promises of quick fixes.
As the news of two police involved shootings knocked Hillary Clinton’s email troubles off the front pages, President Obama released a statement lamenting the shootings saying "all Americans should be troubled" by the separate incidents where police officers shot and killed young black men. Obama’s criticism of police came only hours before five Dallas officers were killed during a Black Lives Matter protest.
"To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness. It’s just being an American," Obama insisted. "And to recognize the reality that we got some tough history and we haven’t gotten through that history yet."
But the president seems to forget all about that "being an American" when it concerns the staggering murder rates of Chicago.

Will Champ just not shut his pie hole and leave the stage? His 15 minutes of infamy are about over. His 8 years seems like 40. Where's the hook that pulls him off the stage?

Shit-fingered Midas is looking for jury nulification. The cops in the LA case will walk if heard by a judge, just like they rightly are in Baltimore.

Baton Rouge cop allegedly Tweeted something to the effect he was going to do a Ferguson on ... ni**er.
Wouldn't this be fun to watch? Ms. Stein and Mr. Sanders could run as a ticket in either order.
If I were Mr. Trump and I truly had the money he's supposed to have, I'd be sending an aide with a large suitcase of money to Mr. Sanders and Ms. Stein, asking them to run and telling them there'd be more of where this came from...

I intend to vote for Ms. Stein and yes I know and I don't give a damn. Screech RINO for the next few years, the party must be pure. Pearl Schine as it were.
[IsraelTimes] Investigation follows Justice Department announcement that it won’t bring criminal charges over unsecured private email server
The State Department is reopening an internal investigation of possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another George C. Marshall ... and top aides, officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Thursday.
Although the former secretary of state’s closest confidants have left the agency, they could still face punishment. The most serious is the loss of security clearances, which could complicate her aides’ hopes of securing top positions on her national security team if she becomes president.
The State Department started its review in January after declaring 22 emails from Clinton’s private server to be "top secret." It was suspended in April so as not to interfere with the FBI’s inquiry. State Department front man John Kirby said the probe is restarting after the Justice Department’s announcement Wednesday that it won’t bring any criminal charges.
"We will aim to be as expeditious as possible, but we will not put artificial deadlines on the process," Kirby said. "Our goal will be to be as transparent as possible about our results, while complying with our various legal obligations."
Kirby wouldn’t say anything more about the precise information officials are evaluating. But when the probe was launched almost six months ago, officials said it pertained particularly to a set of emails that were upgraded to one of the nation’s highest classification levels. One question they said they were investigating was whether any of the emails were classified at the time of transmission.
Additionally Thursday, Republican politicians said they would now ask the FBI to investigate whether Clinton lied to the committee. That announcement came in a testy hearing with FBI Director James Comey, who defended the government’s decision not to prosecute Clinton over her private email setup.
Clinton was secretary of state until early 2013. Most of her top advisers left shortly thereafter.
But Kirby said this week former officials can still face punishment. Options range from counseling and warnings to the revocation of an individual’s security clearance.
Beyond the Democratic front-runner, the probe will most likely examine confidants Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan and Huma Abedin -- who wrote many of the emails to their boss that the various investigations have focused on. Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, has been viewed as a possibility for the same job in the White House. There is speculation that Sullivan, Clinton’s former policy chief, could be national security adviser.
"There could be repercussions," Kirby told news hounds Wednesday, saying infractions identified would be kept on file. If someone’s security clearance is taken away, he said it would have an effect "assuming that individual still needed the clearance to work in another federal agency or something like that."
The State Department says it won’t identify former officials that still hold security clearances. But in an email Fox News made public earlier this year, the department described Mills as still holding a valid clearance.
