Abilene officer murdered at home in planned, coordinated attack by 'multiple parties'
How the heck can you possibly, in any way shape or form, blame Obama on any of this. Why don't you blame the cops that are murdering people?

Six months into his Presidency he essentially called Boston-area police idiots before he knew all the facts about the Harvard professor, pandering to his base interjecting himself into the Trayvon Martin case saying that "if he had a son he would look like Trayvon," and supporting a known criminal like Michael Brown and sending White House reps to his funeral while not sending to policemen's funeral who've been gunned down black males, etc. etc. How many times has that great man, Al Sharpton, visited the White House?

he came into office with the concept of the people he organized in Chicago. They are killing each other off for decades. Just too bad he does not take his role as chief law enforcement officer seriously. Inner cities are continuing to go to dumps ;not changed.

Urban American streets seem to be becoming war zones in recent months if one looks at the homicide statistics and it isn't the GOP or white people or the politicians or the press that is paying the price for that black on black war...it is young black men and with their lives.

My last post on this subject.

Folks didn't need Obama, not that I believe the premiss, the cops have done a wonderful job all on their own.

Right---so if the whole "Black lives Matter" crowd really cared about black lives they would spend 90% of their time on black-on-black crime.

He is nothing but a community organizer and if he had his choice would be marching along BLM chanting those slogans.

As President, he's using his influence to exact the change he desires. Thank god there is no 3rd term.

Wow at least some intelligent posters actually get what Obama set out to do. Remember that agenda of his!

And the rest of you with your stupid azz excuses, need to be laid to rest. He has and most of you know it.

If you don't see the truth right in front of you, your the problem here. Straight up.

ALWAYS siding with the minority, even when that minority is clearly in the wrong and involved in criminal behavior, enables a certain segment of the population to act violently, because they know nothing will come of it. Yes, you can blame Obama. Instead of calling for rational thought, he fans the flames.

There has been hatred and resentment towards police officers since before President Obama was born. Riots in the 1960s, a big part of that had to do with police brutality. Nothing new. Just more widely known.

It's amazing how people who consider Obama otherwise totally feckless and utterly non-influential nevertheless believe he has the mystical power to change everyone's head and make a nation of racially tolerant people--both black and white--into slavering racists.

"He seems to have an invisible touch yeah
He reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
He seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart
Well I don't really know him, I only know his name
But he crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same, and now I know
He's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
He seems to have an invisible touch yeah
He reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
He seems to have an invisible touch yeah"
