Obama Wants $263 Million for Federal Response to Ferguson (Congress, racism, Missouri)

[Miborn]

I say NOT ONE Darn PENNY!!!!
They do not need 263 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE TAXPAYERS
Im sorry the Liberals have fed this Beast and we should not be paying for it. Not ONE PENNY for body cameras expanded training let them hold fundraisers have them get Sharpton and Jackson back to raise money for their town that they helped to destroy with their Racism.
This is just a escalated version of Jena 6.

How dare he even think of asking Congress to pony up this money!

Right, Obama knows better than to ask congress for anything. Maybe he forgot for a moment about that EO pen on his desk?

Only if he admits he had a hand in this and go on an apology tour for his stupidity.

Obama should, just this once, consider staying out of something that is a local matter and insert his bigotry into and making it worse.

It's $263M over 3 years and includes buying 50,000 body cameras. Let's see if Congress approves.

I'm waiting for his next press conference when he emerges with his hands up while wearing a hoodie and saying the police acted "stupidly".

And who is going to pay for the systems that store the video and the costs when people request copies of all of those videos?

$5,260 per body cam? Someone's family is getting rich off this.
