It also looks like an unarmed man can be dangerous. And will charge an officer who has his gun drawn.

“and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson”

Translation: millions for left wing anti-police non profits that are friends of obama.

I think if they just beat up some middle aged white dudes and tie them accross the hoods of patrol cars while the cops ride their shifts that should make the protestors happy. Kind of like deer season.

$280,000,000 for $50 body cameras? This Obama guy is really something!

How much of the 263 million is going toward stopping the black crime
epidemic that underlies the entire problem?

The money will be used to fund Obama's rent a mob network of community organizers.

The "Burn this bitch down" fund, coming to your town soon.

Not only NO BUT FLUKE NO!!! The Fergie pre-Neanderthals made the mess, let THEM pay to clean it up. Don’t let the Kenyan steal taxpayer dollars to feed his little Fergie piggies. Call your congressmen and Senators. No taxpayer dollars for Fergudishu. They made that mess, they can sleep in it!!! NO! If they want money, they can get it from their #Occupy pals or Communist USA buddies. NO!

The problem is not with “modern day policing”.

The problem begins in homes and schools, in what is done there, what it not done there and what, or whom, is missing. It is because of those problems that the thugs think they can run over everyone in the community and either get away with it or not pay the consequences of their thuggery. Obama cannot admit that, because that is not a racial charge, but a cultural one that can be found in all sorts of families but happens to be found in “minority” families in greater proportion to their portion of the population and it includes attitudes of protection and defense the thugs receive from the race-baiting media.

It says he shot him 4 times. They need a weapon that only takes one shot. Maybe a little snub nose SW 500 magnum.

Shove the pen up your @ss, and call your Hollywood buddies to pay for it.

Obama must think we the people are tiny little wallets for him to strip. And we have an endless supply of money that belongs to him.

How about $50K to develop an open-source Raspberry Pi-based body cam, which could sell for $100. Buy 100,000 of them for $10M.

"The $263 million would pay for body cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson . . . "

Although the article doesn't make it clear, it is hard to believe that the whole $263 million is going to Ferguson. Buy 400 cops special cameras at - say - $2,000 each, and you have $800,000. Pay an overpaid consultant to come in and do training and you have about a $2.2 million contract. Now we have three million, and where is the other $260 million going? This Can't just be for Ferguson.

I knew I guy who once accidentally subtracted the tip on his restaurant bill. The waitress had to chase him down, and he was embarrassed by his carelessness.

But I think Congress should provide Obama a negative budget for this.

Send him zero dollars minus the cost to provide aid to rebuild Ferguson out of his White House budget. Defund his vacations on Air Force One to free up cash for this fiasco that he helped foment.

This is not a Federal issue.

Tell Obozo to pound sand.
