Charlotte, NC – President Barack Obama says recent reports of unarmed African Americans being shot by police “should be a source of concern for all Americans.”

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Obama declined to address specific cases, although he noted that the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, had invited the Justice Department to investigate the shooting there.
Obama said protesters expressing their frustrations by looting or breaking glass aren’t going to “advance the cause” of racial justice. He added, “my hope is that in days to come, people in the community pull together and say, ‘How do we do this the right way?'”
He said “it’s important for all of us to say we want to get this right.”
No leader ever made police “open season” like Obama. He has disabled police continually since taking office. Police sometimes need obsolete military equipment. By executive order, they can no longer obtain it. Police need stop and frisk capabilities. They can no longer do it. Police need to enforce all laws, not the ones that Obama sees fit. They are restricted by Obama’s policies. Police need to be able to arrest and jail when needed. That is limited by Obama. Don’t touch an illegal immigrant, don’t ask for ID, don’t enforce immigration law, etc. No one has damaged law and order as much as Obama.
Anyone who even dreams of continuing such policies should never be allowed to occupy elected office.
indeed Obama is concerned about police shootings but not about the high crime rate among blacks. Kind of like his concern about Israel building homes (“settlements”) but no concern about muslim terror. What’s wrong with this picture?
The president should also say it is a much bigger concern that people shoot at the police.
Our “dear” President keeps instigating violence against the police.
