    Obama told a news conference in Madrid that although the “overwhelming” amount of activists in the Black Lives Matter movement wanted to see better relations between communities and police, there were always people that say “stupid” things.

    The sniper, Micah Johnson, a black U.S. military veteran of the Afghan war, said he wanted to “kill white people” following the fatal shootings of two black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota.

    Mr. Obama need say only 1 thing.
    “If you have a gun in your hands and the police are talking to you, you will be shot dead, no matter what color your skin!”
    Simple as that!
    However we’re NOT hearing anything like that yet. He calls them “activists”. Activists? That’s the problem with the DOJ system. That there’s no public announcement on what triggers a shot.
    Now to address all the unfair shootings of presumably innocent black people, the DOJ comprises of black people as well. Many recent famous shootings were tried and found shooter to be not guilty.
    That’s not a double standard. That’s justice.

    Doesn’t this criminal/terrorist-backer remind you of Abu Mazen Y’s, who when forced to make a neutral sounding statement, ‘condemns’ his people’s terrorism, while also justifying it by blaming the other side in not so many words. It’s called speaking out of both sides of your mouth, something this president does well. We must vote out the corrupt Democratic Party on every level!

    Newsflash to Mr President: the ‘black lives matter/white lives don’t’ movement is NOT a “cause,” it’s a terrorist group! Have you heard the chants these animals voice at their rallies, calling for the killings of cops?! Yet once again the president is on the side of the criminals instead of the victims. This traitor needs to quietly go away and stop damaging this country!

    this America hating vicious racist thug occupying the white house,has shown his true colors,notice the reason this gangster gives for not killing white police officers.
    “it is because you will be hurting your own cause” it is not because murder is evil and wrong and there is absolutely no justification for it,no it is because it is not a smart tactic and you are hurting yourself.
    Well why should we be surprised,have we forgoten that this vile America hating creature sat for over 20 years in rev Wrights church where he proclaimed week in and week out in this church we don’t say “God bless America” but we say “God damn America”
