Obama: 'No excuse' for violence in Baltimore - CNNPolitics.com

"There's no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday. It is counterproductive," Obama said at a press conference from the White House. "When individuals get crowbars and start prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. They're not making a statement. They're stealing. When they burn down a building, they're committing arson. And they're destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own communities. That robs jobs and opportunity from people in that area."

Thought this was interesting. I guess it takes the wind out of the 'tacit approval' crowd.
 

Obama Blames Police After Baltimore Riots–
Barack Obama today ripped on the nation’s police forces for targeting poor African-Americans which he says started in Ferguson, Missouri.

“Since Ferguson we have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with individuals, primarily African Americans, often poor, in ways that raise troubling questions. And it comes up it seems like, once a week now, or every couple weeks. And so I think it’s understandable that, and more importantly moms and dads across the nation saying this is a crisis.”

Evidently he missed the fact that a grand jury his DOJ exonerated Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of robber Michael Brown.

Truth < Narrative
 
Good on him.

But the question does remain as to why he felt the need to send three representatives to the funeral.

Hautays nonsense is garbage.. read my post

The President remains right to say what he did in the OP. As for his statement about "incidents" coming up once a week or once every few weeks - what is happening is that cell phones now have camera's on them, and the media picks up every video of any occurrence and runs with it. It's not that "it's happening more" so much as it is that it's getting reported more.
 
Lol, the gateway pundit's analysis on what Obama says is irrelevant to anyone except the uninformed.

sure.. so you are saying they made up Obamas words?...is that how far your going to go here..or is Obama too stupid to know Officer Wilson was the victim
 
Its nonsense..but you buy it....

Lol, oh Travis, you're hurting with emotions, I know. I also understand that the Gateway Pundit tells you what to say, but it's still largely irrelevant to the issue at hand. :)

and Obama sells the lie.. Im floored by Obamas incitement today.. its sickening..

Nope, I'm saying their analysis is irrelevant. They're a garbage website that the uninformed flock to. That remains true and their understanding of what was said is pretty silly.

Obama was only around 7 years old in 1968, and is probably oblivious to what happened in the earlier years prior to 1968. He could Google or go to Youtube to enlighten himself.

I was 16 years old in 1968, I saw what was going on, and at the time didn't understand the full breadth of what was occurring, but I now know why this is happening, people are fed up with the justice and legal system, neither prosecutes cops for brutality.

no its not.. it shows Obama is duplicitous...and obviously an IDIOT..

so are you saying Obama forgot that Office Wilson was the victim?

defeating you at debate is too easy

I agree. I don't think he actually comprehends that this issue has been going on long before the Ferguson case. Baltimore was just the latest incident in a long history of BPD brutality.
 
Good on him.

The crisis is Obama and liberal agenda to "blame the cop or victim" to interject Obama as "all knowing on day 1" and to have the feds take sides like we see today..and as always the "cops are wrong"....you know whos wrong ?Obama..as always.. his batting avg is.000
 
no its not..

Yes it is. You can deny it as much as you want, but it's still irrelevant to the issue, kind of like your parroting of talking points by the Gateway Pundit. This is a forum for people who think independently, Travis. Not people who simply copy and paste whatever they're being told to say. :)

ohhhhh...I undesrtand but it appears you dont understand your own posts.. you are parroting CNNs "semantic dance"...Obama knows saying the word Ferguson is going to equate this to that.. and bring in the hate.. Obama just had to say " we wont tolerate any crime of arson or rioting, you will be arrested" but he made sure to bring his view that this a shut case and Obama once again has giving his verdict and has given JUSTIFICATION for more rioting....

Your an Obama apologist... anybody objective see CNNs white washing here.. Obama did not say "there is no excuse" because he then gave "the excuse"... but you gulped it down so fast its comical...its called "context" CNN is running a lie..out of context liberal nonsense

like I said defeating you or any liberal at "true objective debate" is too easy..

That's pretty much my view on the matter. I don't condone the rioting or the looting, but I can definitely see how the current conditions led to it. Police departments in US cities have been getting away with killing civilians for decades. Normally, it's impossible to really make a case against a single incident because they can have as much as 10-15 years between them. However, when a single police department has paid millions within a 4 year span, and has over a 100 such incidents within that period, there is an obvious pattern. This is specially true if the city doesn't even reach the 1 million mark. I think that was Obama's mistake. Linking this to Ferguson. The situations simply aren't the same though there is ample evidence that the FPD also engaged in some of the same tactics. I guess what I am saying is that the issues should be viewed as separate but within a larger national pattern of police brutality.
 
Your an Obama apologist.

Your desperation is palpable, but only because it's clear you have nothing else to argue.

.. anybody objective see CNNs white washing here.. Obama did not say "there is no excuse" because he then gave "the excuse"... but you gulped it down so fast its comical

Can you write a draft of your posts, send it to somebody so that it can be corrected, and then post them on DP? You're not making much sense.

it appears you are already done ...now whos the "uninformed" again?...oh wait the Obama apologists and CNN ( what a joke )
