July 8, 201610 yr Glad Obama is already casting judgement on the OIS's before the facts are out. All that does is pour fuel on the fire and drive the wedge deeper Pretty sure videos over the past couple of years have fueled the fire not Obama.
July 8, 201610 yr Pretty sure videos over the past couple of years have fueled the fire not Obama. Wrong, he obviously didn't learn from the previous ones. To hold his judgement till the facts are out. How quick people conveniently forget he and Eric Holder jumping on the Michael Brown bandwagon before the facts are out.
July 8, 201610 yr Turn on CNN Just caught a clip... I definitely didn't see anything that would have "fueled" anything. Just that we should all care about what's going on in the country right now. I'm sure that wasn't the entirety of his speech.
July 8, 201610 yr Sounded like the protest was peaceful, then towards the end of the protest/march random rifle shots were fired. One protester claimed several of his fellow protesters had guns, that is a very bad situation.
July 8, 201610 yr What did he say? We have seen tragedies like this too many times," the president said in Warsaw. "All of us as Americans should be troubled by these shootings," he continued. "These are not isolated incidents, they are symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system." The president went on to list a number of statistics showing black Americans are subject to disparities under the nation's law enforcement system. “When people say black lives matter, it doesn’t mean blue lives don’t matter,” the president said, adding that it’s instead “about us recognizing there is a particular burden placed on a group of our citizens.” "This is not just a black issue, this is not just a Hispanic issue, this is an American issue that we should all care about," the president said, noting that when incidents like this occur there are segments of the country that feel that because of "the color of their skin they are not being treated the same, and that hurts and that should trouble all of us." “To be for these issues is not to be against law enforcement,” he said. “We know you have a tough job,” the president said, addressing law enforcement directly. “We mourn those in uniform who are protecting us who lose their lives,” he continued. "I’ve hugged family members who’ve lost loved ones doing the right thing, I know how much it hurts…there is no contradiction between us supporting law enforcement.” “To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness, it’s just being American,” he said.
July 8, 201610 yr Thanks Clyde. If him addressing issues like that is fueling the fire, I don't know what he's supposed to say. Ignore it I guess.
