I would argue that President Obama enabled this mess. He honestly had no policy to deal with the police other than simple capitulation to the police state.

That's why he done nothing to help black people and is definitely doing nothing for the Native American folks and the Dakota pipeline issue.

Just like how Obama used the power of the Executive Order to threaten to yank federal money from K-12 public school systems as well as public colleges & universities for non-compliance on LGBT policies...

...Obama could've used similar Executive power to threaten to yank federal money from police agencies if they fail to comply on revamping policies for dealing with minorities.

Obama didn't do such a thing of course, because he is afraid of dealing with those issues.

The rightwing scream machine got him by the balls. Always have been this way. His supposed "coolness" and "calm demeanor" was just a clever marketing ploy to suck people into a fail sense of security.

Obama was a wussy the whole bleeping time.

So now we have Trump. I say good.

We need to see the truth of America what really is.

Maybe it wake up minorities and especially black folks.

Just my opinion, of course.

Hysterical much? Obama did no such thing, and the police will do no such thing!

Another assumption born of hysteria and a vacuum of evidence to support it.

Yep. While the police have made mistakes (and tragic ones) over the years, I certainly see no evidence of systemic profiling. I do not believe that Mr. Trump's presidency will encourage such. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

The Trump boogeyman isn't going to change your life.

If your life sucks today, it will continue to suck.

Your post can't be a real question. I pray no one is that ignorant.

Haha exactly. I was liberal when I was younger but have changed my viewpoint over time. I'm to the point now I feel sorry for liberals. They look more and more pathetic each and every day.
