EXACTLY .



Obama had 8 years to slow the murders in Chicago and..... ?





Regardless of what the Left tells us the majority of cops are not racists with itchy trigger fingers.



When it comes right down to it the majority of deaths at the hands of the Police are a direct result of the suspects actions and this includes George Floyd.



The "talk" that so many black parents give their kids, warning them about whitey and racist cops should also include a segment about what to do if you are stopped by the Police and the number 1 rule to live by is DO NOT ACT THE FOOL. Number 2 should be DO NOT HANG OUT WITH CRIMINALS.
These rules work for white guys too.

Has he said anything about the daily inner city shootings yet, that warrant such police?

Maybe he thinks police enjoy patrolling dangerous neighborhoods.
Yep!

Good point. Maybe we should follow their example instead. Person is caught stealing, cut off a hand. Someone commits murder, execute them. Why send these criminals to jail where they get tougher and learn how to be better criminals? It’s a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. Far better to be tougher on these thugs so they won’t do it again.

As for Obozo, nobody cares what he thinks. He can crawl back under his rock and go away. Better if he takes dementia joe with him.

Hey Barry, how about some specifics? What precisely do you mean by re-imagined? Do tell.

Minneapolis is a Democrat city run by Democrats. Tell them how to re-imagine policing.

And they say Trump is divisive? Every single police shooting Obama does this
I want you to think hard about this for a second.

Black people keep getting killed unjustly by police. We need to solve this issue.

If you’re okay with this happening and think nothing should be done, then it would seem that you’re okay with black people being killed unjustly. Is that the hill you want to die on?

That’s because black people do stupid things when confronted by police. Not a single one of these deaths was the officers fault, but the fault of the perpetrator. Don’t want to potentially be shot by a police officer? Don’t resist arrest, don’t try to grab for their gun, don’t be a belligerent entitled ******* while talking to them, don’t shout at them, don’t make quick sudden moves, the list goes on. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp. I have zero sympathy for people like George Floyd, the dude that got shot at the Wendy’s, etc. they did it to themselves. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Treat the police officers respectfully and honestly and follow their directions and you won’t have a problem.

I am totally opposed to black people being killed unjustly by the police. I am far less concerned about black criminals who bring the heavy hand of the law down upon themselves, due to their own actions.

If putting up an air freshener is threatening to you and worthy of being killed over, then I would suggest taking a long look at your deep-seated issues against black people.

I have no issues with black people. What I said applies to anyone and everyone. You don’t mouth off to the police. It’s common sense. And who said anything about putting up an air freshener? What does that have to do with anything?
