There were a series of questionable police shooting under Obama's watch. There was a point in the Michael Brown and then Walter Scott's shooting where I thought it was going to blow up.

But they didn't, because Obama.

What we're seeing now has been brewing for a long time. If a lesser president was in charge back then, we'd have seen this happened back then. But alas, Obama was great and he calmed the waters. He put in police reform and for a while it looks like things was going to blow over.

Until now.

I am not blaming the man in charge now. He didn't cause this. But it's also painfully obvious he doesn't know how to fix it.

And I have no doubt if Obama is president today, this wouldn't happen. No way. No how.

It's funny how after Obama step down, the house starts burning down room by room. Sometimes you don't know how great someone is, until he is gone.

I agree. President Obama is a man of the people and King Cheetos is a man about himself only

@Beb0p

Obama didn't gain control of the response to Ferguson and other alleged police brutality problems anymore than any other President has prior to him.

He wasn't calming, strategic or anything special. The difference is, he placated and played into the hands of hard left wing fringe fanatic groups, where Trump hasn't.

The blame for this rests squarely on Blue leaders in their respective cities and States. When you have Blue governors, mayors and Blue city councilmen openly praising the protestors and instructing their police to stand down and allow protestors to roam and riot freely, then the problem is bound to be worse.


Right now, the biggest mistake has been made by Blue leaders and no one else.

A whole lot of mass shootings happened under Obamas watch though... More than likely orchestrated by our own government to drum up sentiment to abolish our second amendment rights.
The dems sure are determined to establish fascism here in the USA.

A BLM member executed 5 cops during a Dallas protest, on July 7th 2016.

On Oabama's watch.

That is "blowing up"

Is the Left collectively mentally retarded or do they just have the memory of a gnat?

Serious question.

Sure, sure. What you are seeing now is innate criminals using this as an excuse to be such. What you are seeing now is communists exploiting the situation to fracture the West, with the willing cover by a sympathetic media.

Don't believe me? What does George Floyd have to do with Canada? Nothing. But here they are destroying Canadian cities:

It did happen. See above. Also, your correlations are weak like baby spit.

LOL.

You can't fix innate will to criminality. The Left has been acting out like this since Trump was elected, in various ways. No one would believe that they wouldn't riot just to spite Trump at this point. These are petulant monsters with an entitlement to ruin lives and a distaste for democracy.

Are you calling Obama the Black Mob and Domestic Terrorist Whisperer?

It seems that you are.

How about this? Violent mobs and domestic terrorists should cease to be such on their own adult merit and not need 'Black Daddy' to calm them down.

That would be better for all of the adults in the room and this Nation.

Yes, Black Daddy whispers and soothes the criminals. We get it.

But you just made a compelling argument for how problematic this nation's populations are. I'm going to do them a favor and tell you to shove your theory about their lack of agency toward their own non-criminality.

Serious question.

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about - the sentiment has been brewing for a long time. There was A LOT OF PEOPLE who was ready to explode.

In the end, the Dallas shooting was ONE MAN who had enough and decided to take action, however misguided. But the rest held back. They didn't explode with him. It was because Obama was in charge and they trust him.

What we're seeing now is A LOT OF PEOPLE now doing what they would have done way back when if Obama wasn't in charge.

The Dallas shooting shows that Obama was able to held back the herd and calm them. In the end, only one man broke rank and did something really bad.
