    It wasn't coined in Texas.

    obama can't hide 7 years of police hate and riot/race war inciting by one speech.


    he could barely disguise his disdain for the whole thing.


    his words were saying one thing, his body language another.

    Cops are out of control.

    I can foresee the riots and fire hoses.  It'll be like the 60's and 70's all over again.

    Somewhere along the line cops forgot they work for the public and not the other way around.

    I would have cheered had some been brave enough to boo his speech. 

    Who would have thought his "Beer Summit" early in his presidency would foretell his resentment for police in the following years.

    tossing in ''glock'' references not very presidential.

    Look at this...  Pathetic... Florida Cops hassling this guy for walking down the sidewalk and stepping into the road to avoid some debris.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNNYe-DPp-Y

    You can find tens of these throughout the country every day.

    So, OK, here's the problem... Police Training.

    Today's Officers are TRAINED to coerce citizens out of their legal rights.  This is VERY wrong.  This guy was 100% correct to NOT produce his ID.  If you are not operating a motor vehicle you DO NOT have to produce an ID.  Cops LYING to citizens about their Constitutional Rights is WRONG.

    When the Police break the law then there IS NO LAW.  Just a fight for survival.

    I woulda loved Dallas to politely decline a President Rainbow appearance. Regarding police... They're the only thing holding back complete anarchy... It's funny that society frowns on all prejudice except where the police are concerned. Let's say 95% of cops are professional (which is probably a low figure). So AA's believe marching and disrupting society is the answer? Insanity. BLM is a racist, hate promoting group, nothing else and will do nothing but cause trouble. The cops need to clean up their act of the small % of cops that are obviously a problem. I grew up in a largely minority populated city. For those that have never had the experience, you should go see it for yourself.

    The Manchurian Candidate couldn't contain himself from making political hay on the deaths of 5 white police.
    He had the leaders of BLM to the WhiteHouse to praise their important work on" our country's most pressing issue" but he had to clench his teeth to keep from scolding the dead police.

    BLM is a racist group? Lol Jesus Christ. The rhetoric used against BLM is just preposterous. BLM is not racist. They are just mad at the numerous examples of police injustice and brutality in this country. We are tired of it. Plain and simple. Black lives have never mattered In this country. The laws were formed against us. It's clear as day. So just because we are sick of it and we created a group to express our frustration and utilize our right to free speech we are a racist group lmao ... So let me guess, the K K K are just Americans expressing their right to free speech but BLM is the racist group right???

    You cant be serious. "cops" forgot....We are talking about a handful of guys out of literally thousands. I'm sure you have had a job where a co worker was just awful. Same thing with cops. Some indeed should not be wearing a badge. I think the problem is people forgot cops are to be respected as they are there for a reason and carry a weapon for a reason.

    People are lumping "cops" all together. Thats like saying Joe Montana and Johnny Manziel are the same since they are both Qbs....

    Wow.

    "What do we want?" Dead Cops.
    Fry 'em like bacon. Pigs in a blanket...
    Maybe you never seen/heard the videos of that. I have.

    If black lives mattered so much, why don't they go to Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit and beg people to stop killing each other. The white cop is the least of the black community's problem...

    They DO beg people to stop killing each other. There have been plenty of rallys in Chicago these past few months. One in particular was for a young boy who was killed because of his fathers gang affiliation. But black on black crime is a whole different issue. Gang members do what gang members do. You can't put a low life street thug on the same level as a government trained official who is sworn to serve and protect and is SUPPOSED to have the proper training to de-escalade certain situations. Cops are held to a higher standard then a street thug or a gang member. Plenty of times in my city of Oakland when someone innocent is killed, there are plenty of rallys. You probably just don't hear about them nationally. Of course we care man! Oh really think we don't care!? Lol smh what an asinine statement. 

    The thing is that yes we may not care if someone dies "who deserves it" ... For example here in Oakland I grew up around a bunch of good guys but there are also bad ones who were abused as children and mothers were on dope fathers fell victim to the system etc. I knew of a guy who was a well known shooter around north Oakland. He didn't shoot innocent people but he shot at other gangsters and other murderers. Well he was killed in 2013 because he had a lot of enemies he's made thru other the years. He's robbed a few people too. But what can I say, he had it coming to him! He got away with a few murders before he died. But he wasn't a good person. So ya when someone like him dies by another black men, people who knew his background was like ok he had it coming! But when a innocent child is killed there's always a rally and candle light vigils for the innocent fallen. The thought that black people don't care if another black person is killed is just plain and simply wrong. We DO care. But we don't feel sorry for the bad people in our community who had it coming to them. There's a difference. 

    I find it appalling that BLM would say we want dead cops tho. I don't agree with it but I understand their thought process behind it. It's the only way that police brutality will hit home for SOME people. Is it right? Hell no. But it'll bring attention to the injustices of the country and that's their goal

    And Train, this is an ALL cops issue. You want to know why? I'll tell you why. 

    In Tamir Rice's case the 911 caller said the gun was probably fake. The cops drove up and that guy killed that kid in 2 seconds. There were no orders given, nothing. CLEARLY a wrong act I don't care what anyone says. Is it illegal for a kid to play with a toy gun?? I bet you that cop's partner felt that it was an unjust shooting. But did he speak out on it? Nope. And that's the problem. Not all cops are bad, but in my eyes they are. Because when a bad cop does something bad like shoot and kill someone who is unarmed, or in castilles case he gets killed for obeying orders, the good cops never speak out about it. Chris Dorner did but you see what happened to him! It's the same thing, Train, as me and you going to rob a bank, you get killed, and I get charged for your murder. I'm just as guilty as you even tho I didn't kill you directly. So that's the thing, good cops just ignore what the bad cops do and they don't speak out in volumes about it. If we saw more cops speaking out like hey my partner killed a guy selling cds but he didn't point a gun at him or threaten his life in anyway! That killing was wrong and I'm speaking on behalf of the dead so he can get justice! Then we would have more respect for them. Until then they are just as guilty IMO. But then again I'm just a black guy who had been called a ni gger by the OPD and gotten beaten up by them so I guess I'm tainted right? I'm biased right? Smh

    I saw a clip on some minority NYPD officers who are actually speaking about the unjust practices of the NYPD. They said they purposely patrol weaker in power communities like the minority communities or the LGBT communities looking for arrest so they can meet their quotas. When they spoke up about it they were shunned and looked down upon amongst other officers. I respect the hell out of those officers for stepping out of the box for the greater good of humanity. Those are the real cops. Not these guys who just sweep their partners unjust murders under he rug without speaking up on itchris Dorner was one of them too. And I don't defend what he did either, but him speaking up on the unjust practices in the LAPD is something that all "good" cops need to do. Otherwise they are just the same to us. It's not the right thing to think just like all black people aren't thugs just because there are a lot of black thugs in the hood but that's just how we feel. You won't understand if you aren't black or haven't been harassed or beaten or killed by the police

    Of course your tainted and biased, with good reason apparently. Now, having said that, dont you think the cops are tainted and biased based on what they have to deal with every day? It cant be a one way street.....

    Shaddup Dummy and get off my D-I-C-K.

    There's a reason why you don't hear about out of control cops in CT or even the entire New England States.  Up here we keep our cops in line.  They understand they work for the People and not the other way around.

    Simply put, a political monster of little or no substance. Can't wait until Trump's inauguration in January 2017.
