You know what’s completely unacceptable? When the President and Attorney General tell the mob that they have good reason to go out and kill cops.

It’s what the teleprompter told him to say. He has no original thoughts of his own.

Wow.

I really expected the Kenyan to follow his own precedent and IGNORE this latest black on white assault.

Now if it had been another Trayvon/Michael Brown incident....

Sure he didn’t say “Understandable” but “Unacceptable”?

Finally. The police unions must have threatened to ignore his calls after he leaves the White House.
