Re: Sheriffs blast Obama silence on cop deaths... 'I'll save you spot' at funerals..
A lot of that, is because through ignorance or attitude, they won't or don't follow instructions by the police! Or, they are in the midst of criminal activity, and refuse to follow instructions!
I just came back from a cop funeral the other day, and it really hits home.
Being a police officer still isn't in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in America and it's not getting worse. I'm sorry that you're upset that he hasn't politicized police deaths enough, but throwing a public tantrum because your issue isn't getting enough attention doesn't mean he doesn't care about it or is actively fighting against it. It's kind of like saying "How dare Obama have dinner last night when MY issue hasn't been addressed yet. He obviously doesn't care about my issue."
How many random police officer funerals did Bush visit? Clinton? Reagan? Any of the past presidents? What this really is about is outrage that attention is finally being given to the disproportionate number of unarmed blacks that are being shot by police. I'm sorry that you're upset, but when group X gets more attention than you, it doesn't mean you're being ignored or plotted against. The universe does not revolve around this issue, but then again, it's never really been about Obama's actual positions, rather the ones you people superimpose on him.
