    Prosecutors have charged Officer Jason Van Dyke with first-degree murder for the death last year of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times.

    Obama said on his Facebook page Wednesday that he is asking Americans to “keep those who’ve suffered tragic loss in our thoughts and prayers” this Thanksgiving, “and to be thankful for the overwhelming majority of men and women in uniform who protect our communities with honor.”

    Obama says he is personally grateful to the people of his hometown — Chicago — for keeping protests peaceful.

    A more appropriate headline would say, “Obama says, I’m confused”. Though it would be an understatement,but would be accurate.

    The guy was charged with murder. Now the case goes to court, and the video will be part of the evidence. Let the court do its thing. The White House has no business mixing in. But that’s Obama. y”sh.
