whats he saying?
He spoke on it and didn't say a goddamn thing significant.
Figures
With police killing over 560 citizens already this year Obama's outrage concerning the attack on police is out of place. Its not often I totally disagree with Obama but I can't roll with him this time. Not even Obama should expect the citizens of black communities to not respond to these senseless unjust murders of our people from racist cops.
The Declaration of Independence was not written for whites only.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
What's really sad is with all that has happened to black people these last few years, these police being shot almost seems justified. That's the atmosphere the police have created. The people are tired of this injustice.

yes it was.
if more people would get off their ass and vote on the STATE and LOCAL level you wouldn't have to worry about this kind of crap. Too many people sit their asses down on the local level and then look to the NATIONAL for support. there's a reason half the country has STATE and LOCAL mayors who are RED.
Chicago doesn't and police kill more here than the average city.
NYC doesn't
LA doesn't
It ain't red or blue ... it's white.
police have been abusing the black community since there has been a black community.
the only difference now is video shows it.
It ain't just voting.....we do that.
it's black folks need to run and when they do we need to change the office holders.
we need to recruit more black folks to run and get them elected
I'm talking MAYOR, GOVENOR
replacing one white mayor or governor with another ain't changing anything.
allowing more white folks to sit on the school boards that decide on our kids education ain't changing nothing.
until we are the mayors, judges , DAs police chiefs the same shit will happen and only the days change
Bro I literally mean across the board.
like i said unless we are running and getting into those offices "across the board"
not one thing will change.
we been replacing one crakka for another and nothing has changed whether they are red or blue.
What do yall want from this man???? He's always spoken on these issues and he spoke on the two young men before this happened in Dallas last night. We have to stop looking for his voice and find our own.
I agree with you to a point. Its not just these most recent incidents. These killings have been going on throughout his presidency. I understand he can't address everything. But he's long overdue speaking out on these killings. An what actually triggered his response? Foreign dignitaries asking him about what's going on here with the police shootings.
I've always supported Obama. That said I feel I've earned the right to criticize him when he could've/should've addressed these matters years ago. Maybe if these matters had been addressed earlier the situation would not have deteriorated to this level.
Fair enough. But i just did though. As for my pm he and all politicians are just as bad and in many cases worst than obama. If i thought u gave a fuck about hearing about how much of a cunt my pm is id had told you long ago. I can guarantee you dont tho
He is the president of the United States why shouldn't we look for his voice?
All of this.
And this.
Yep
