    Obama has helped this you of environment to flourish…just recently he gave legitimacy to the “black lives matter” low lives by saying the black community does have a problem with cops. Maybe the fact that 75% of all Crime is committed by blacks (proven statistics) could have something to do with the fact that cops have to get into altercations with them!
