    Those of you who know me know I'm a centrist, whose been called everything from a liberal to a "fundie" for my beliefs. So I'm sure I'll elicit a personal attack or two for this question--but how does the referenced article contribute to the belief that somehow Obama and Holder support violence against cops, or whatever?

    For the record, I don't think anybody with half a brain could ever justify indiscriminate violence against cops.

    Obama and Holder turned the fire up without trying to calm the people down and promoting the truth. Where is Obama and Holder telling these people that there was no hands up. It was BS promoted by the liberal lying media. Holder should have told the people that their narrative was false. That this punk rushed to police like the evidence proved. Should have said that this trash went for the policeman's gun. Yet nothing. Obama and Holder sits back and allows this false story to be pushed by the community. All while condemning to police. Little to nothing was done about the rioters. Even though they have video proof of who these looters where. Holder allowed the riots. The mayor allowed the riots. Progressive congressmen push the lying liberal narrative in congress displaying their hands up. .

    But of course, you can't find a single member of the despised enemy, especially their nefarious and despicalbe leadership, who HAS half a brain.

    Obama said they were just a bunch of knuckleheads making boneheaded decisions.

    In the article? All I saw was "Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together. –bo"

    As we can see, we have more proof that no matter what Obama does the Cons will whine about it, so why is it the President should care what they think at this point.

    The link you provided to substantiate that absurdity somehow didn't make it into your post. Can you resubmit?

    I ask you what has obama done to slow this violent protest that has cost two policeman's their lives and almost two more lastnight?
    What has obama or Holder done to catch the law breaking rioters? We have them on camera. What have they done to show that this policeman was innocent beside ls telling Browns family to keep up the fight?

    Well of course that's the sentiment they want to portray to the public.
    Especially after they both fueled the flames with their subtle race baiting rhetoric.
    Any rational mind knows what they are really doing is covering their political ass .

    Do you actually believe the President of the United States of America should be dealing with the issue in Ferguson? Really? Learn what the Job of the President is and what the job of the Local Government is. But since you think Politicians in Washington should be doing something about it then where my I ask are the Great Republican Leaders, I seem to have missed their many suggestions and visits to the area. Good Grief.

    SB, how are you? In my opinion, I believe you can be against racial profiling, as I believe it's unconstitutional and just not helpful, and still be against cops being shot or attacked. The two aren't mutually exclusive and I believe the most extreme people on both sides of the spectrum need to calm down before others get dragged into it. Thoughts?

    Oh but he did stick his nose in it. Did he not meet with the family and tell them to keep the fight up? Did he not get involved? The answer is yes no matter how you try to spin it. So he or Holder should have made a statement of this policeman's innocents. One of them should have showed these idiots the prove that this hands up liberal BS pushed by progressives was nothing more than a lie that ruined an man's life who did nothing more then his job. Instead obama and Holder sits back after stirring the pot and allowing the progressives lies of hands up to keep being pushed by their uninformed voters.

    Blacks do it all the time, I've never witnessed so much racial hatred as I have visiting Oakland, CA.
    They have a vile hatred towards white people and are not afraid to show you.

    Pointing out that 93% of the stops were of black people or something is basically the same as saying that they are evil. A more nuanced approach would have been to assess the criminality, population and behavior of blacks as compared to other ethnic groups in the region, then to seek structural, procedural or managerial reform. Instead the Obama administration said "those guys are racist" and walked away, then this happened.

    Really because there is a thread here started by a Con saying nearly the same thing, I suppose they are also backing riots and shootings of cops for stating the obvious. Really?

    So the best solution you can come up with is to shoot cops? Certainly is keeping with strategy of "reacting violently to being looked at" just as Trayvon did. I believe the older black people call it "showing their color".

    Wonder what will happen when the cops start shooting back.

    Years ago in the Dallas area blacks complained they were being targeted for speeding citations unfairly. There was an investigation and you'll never guess what they found. Blacks were speeding far more often than Whites. Imagine that.

    Obama gave a tweet for these two policeman
    While a thug brown was given a speech on TV, The DOJ and 40 investigators, a meeting with the family where he tells them to keep up the fight, etc.
    The police get a tweet. Nice Obama.

    He seems to have gotten his speeches mixed up. As the title of this thread suggests Obama condemned the attack.

    So NOW the President is expected to deal with affairs of the Nation and not try to intervene in domestic problems? What happened earlier, you know when such prudence could have avoided these types of tragedies?
