Sheriff David Clarke: President Obama uses his words irresponsibly and it fuels anger towards police in this country.

Apparently there is video showing multiple shooters , I refuse to watch.

 

Yeah, I'm not watching either.

As in retaliation? If so, I'm right there with ya.

 

When I heard the police chief say the words my mind went there. If they aren't going to describe the suspects then I don't think public needs to know statements.

Not the time.

Ugghh....He didn't just lay blame (at least partially) at the President's feet did he?

Not the time.

 

Trying to identify the cause of this. This statement is nothing compared to some of his others. FYI to avoid any speculation, he is African American.

Assuming the always ready to weigh in DOJ is already on the scene investigating this as a hate crime? Sad situation.

So that makes his words acceptable?

Law enforcement will now continue to withdraw further from protecting the innocent people of our country. I honestly can't blame them.

 

Finding a safe place to park my cruiser and sit out my shift will now become the norm.

 

I'm not knocking police, just can't blame them for protecting themselves.

I used to think the country was going to be fine and that a lot of stuff was being blown out of proportion. I was wrong. I don't have any faith for the future of our country.

 

One step up and two steps back.

And for the record that couldn't be more false. Let's not act like people who have issues with the actions of some police officers feel that way because Obama told them too. That's false. I have a catalogue full of rap music from the 90s where disgust with the police is discussed quite frequently. And that is not including NWA.

He has to say this or he will not be allowed back on Fox News in his "role."

I think there are tons of good people in this world as well. I fear that the more things like this happen that we will lose potentially good people everyday. At some point people get fed up and put up the wall and then nothing changes.

 

Very valid point. I do think we need leaders in both the black and white communities to get together in very public venues to promote peace and healing. Of course, many people have no interest in watching that on TV.

So that makes his words acceptable?

 

It doesn't but I didn't want to leave any confusion, creating anymore racial divide. You will have to talk to the sheriff directly, regarding his opinions.

Yep.

 

We don't have a black or white problem. We don't have a rich or poor problem. We don't have a right or left problem. We have a hate problem. Not real sure how we find a solution to that, and it's depressing.
