I think the police have incited their own hatred in the way they act toward people.
They consider anyone who isn't a cop to be a criminal. That is wrong.
That could be said for the Gentle Giant too. Nothing I saw him doing in the store he was videotaped in made him look endearing to my heart. He looked like a thug and a bully and he died like a thug and a bully.
St. Michael's action's toward the police officer trying to take his gun after punching him in the face incited his death - are you able to see the truth? Probably you DON'T WANT TO SEE THE TRUTH. Doesn't matter.
Maybe police shooting fatalities being at a 20 year high had more to do with the sentiment towards police than your silly kneejerk reaction to blame Obama.
Nice try, but even if police shootings of innocent people (not criminls) are at an all time high(please provide the source you get this claim from), it is still statistically insignificant considering the number of citizens and number of police.
Remember that if the people being shot are criminals like Michael Brown, that hardly qualifies.
As to Obama, I doubt there is any way to quantify the number of times he has spoken critically about LE, nor are there stats to see how other presidents may have. However I can tell you unscientifically that I have rarely if ever heard a president speak in negative terms of LE like Obama has. I was actually shocked the first few times he did, but it has become often enough to where it does not even surprise me now.
[quote=3~Shepherds;41101347]When a police officer is executed putting gas in his car, it is time for OUR PRESIDENT to get off his azz and say, "enough is enough."
Strange, the cops that have been killed have been sitting in their cars, putting gas in their car, etc.... The so called victims, people are crying about and wanting justice for, had criminal records a mile long............ What is wrong with people to not see this.
It's time President Obama addresses his people![/QUOTE]
His people?? Good grief. What exactly does that mean.
growing up everyone respected the police. Nowadays no one respects the police, but worst of all our youth doesn't. This is only going to get worse and worse. Yes there are some crooked cops and they deserve to be punished, but having our population have no respect for authority is honestly repulsive.
Here's some hope and change you can believe in. I remember when Americans respected authority, but now after 7 years of the "Great Community Organizer" the cops are targets. Strong work Democrats. Really hope you're happy.
Stupidest post I ever read. A few bad cops brought this all on themselves and good cops. Nothing to do with Obama.
You can't give a complete pass to Obama and some others like de Blasio and Mosby. Go back to Obama's response to his pal Skip Gates. Though Obama started with the correct response --- "I don't know all the facts' --- he couldn't resist going on with 'the police acted stupidly' and implying the 'stupidity' was racially motivated.

The police acted stupidly with James Blake and the union is protecting this bad apple and rotting the rest with their actions to protect the stupid cops that tarnish the badge for all.
