Right, but your relatives are part of the CPD which has a long-standing history of political protection and cover-ups including the recent Laquan McDonald case.
There is an inherent expectation that your relatives if they were to see something like that would say only things supporting the officer that did something bad and that they would be punished otherwise.
If you're part of a larger organization where some do something bad, then that doesn't automatically reflect upon you.
However, if the entire organization covers for one another then yeah, it does start to reflect on you.
Would that include being from a political party...........Say you are a Democrat or a Republican?
I've mentioned before on here that for about 3 years we had to live on premises at a low income housing facility we managed. It is a real eye opener. There is an entire population in this world who do not think like most of us, and who have a completely different set of values than we do. Things that they consider normal, we would be appalled at.
This video shows that precisely.
Theres another video that shows the beginning of the confrontation ... They do apply a taster once backup arrives right before the suspect goes down.
I don't blame former President Obama for this. This crap was going on all the way back to the 1990s and 1980s. I wouldn't say our society is more violent than ever. Murder rates back in the 1980s were very high.
I agree with you that a generation of single mother families is a contributor to such problems, this is not something with origins in the Obama administration. Go read the Moynihan Report. Issues with fatherless homes were frequent in the ghettos during the 50s and 60s. The violent criminals during the 1970s and 1980s were born in the 1950s and 1960s.
Something else. You might not remember it being this bad. However, my father remembers things being kind of rough where he grew up. There were plenty of drug dealers, criminals, winos, and nut cases growing up where he did. And this was in the 1960s. When he grew up riots were taking place in cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit,etc. It could have been much worse where he grew up, but he certainly remembers things like tensions/lack of respect between the police and the people in the neighborhood. He lived around it. It was this bad. You just didn't live around it. Plenty of people, especially in the Black population, have seen things this bad long before the Obama administration.
I do . Anytime that a a police shooting occurred , Obozo would get involved with the entire situation. Then politicize it . Even to the extend where he had the justice department investigating george zimmerman even though it was a state and local case... Never did he condemn the violence or the rhetoric behind it. Lets not fools ourselves.

Dang, when did he ever find time to do anything else?
No, I was specific. I did NOT blame all police forces and I simply pondered a possibility.
In Baltimore it's pretty much the entire force. They killed one of their own to keep him from testifying and not a one has been charged with it. It takes protection from the top down for that to happen.
Would you understand if one of these officers got their asses kicked?
Yes, I would understand if they get do get kicked around in Baltimore......but not every police department is like that.
Never trust government (in my opinion) , but respect the ones that do their job ethically .

And no other Presidents have condemned local violence either. Truth is, this problem is older than the Obama administration. You either missed my pointed or ignored it. This problem has been perpetuated since the 1950s.
And that is why it takes 3 hours for a response on a 911 call
