Yes, this looks like this was a disagreement/confusion over the definition of "fugitive" that started in the GW Bush years. The accurate number was apparently 70,000, not 500,000, and this is not an "Obama thing", but spanned from GW, through Obama, into the Trump presidency. There is some truth in it, but the website spun the facts to make them look like some horrible thing Obama did. Fake news.
"In the recent shooting in Parkland, Florida it was Democrat education/policing policies that allowed Nikolas Cruz to do his evil work. The police were forced to call on Cruz on dozens of times, and yet they never reported him to the national databases for his criminal behavior.
The FBI was warned about him on more than one occasion, but because local police were not reporting his bad behavior, they had no way of knowing just how dangerous Cruz was. In reality, if not for the liberal policies pursued by the Broward County School system and their local police – Cruz would have been in the national NICS (banned from purchasing a gun) database."
Well this is certainly true and policies implemented under Obama. Some facts just can't be erased.
