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.

We all knew when Obama after not even knowing the facts of which he stated...said the police acted stupidly.. Obama has baggage against the police, this country, white people , Christians , Israel, and sane reasoning. The man needs a brain transplant because his thinking is really off.
After being attacked and constantly criticized by liberals, big city cops have 2 options: 1) start looking the other way regarding black guy's committing crimes, and 2) start taking justice into my own hands----vigilante style---show the criminals that if you mess with a cop---we will take you out and a few people you love.
I'm happy to review any evidence and reconsider, but I don't think this is traced back to Obama.
There have been a number of high-profile killings by police of minorities in recent years that have enraged many people.
Some proved to be overblown and based on misinformation - like Ferguson. Numerous others proved to be quite chilling in their cold-blooded disregard for black lives, like the 12 year old gunned down in 2 seconds in Cleveland, the young man gunned down in Walmart talking on his cell phone, and the middle-aged man shot in the back in a park in South Carolina.
The Baltimore riots emerged from years of mistreatment by some police officers of various skin colors. Those problems predated Obama.
If anything is to blame, it's perhaps social media that moves information and rage quickly, linking what's happening elsewhere in the country and touching violent fringe elements.
Apparently, they haven't found a motive yet for that horrific Texas officer killing, but I'd be surprised if it isn't connected. Fwiw, here's an article about Obama calling the widow and offering support to protect police:

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.

Have you considered the simple fact that America's start was based on questioning authority?
