Unreal.
Barack Obama rushed to Facebook today to make a comment on the Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile shootings.
Alton Sterling, a felon, deadbeat dad who was illegally in possession of a firearm, was shot while wrestling with police in Baton Rouge.

Via The White House Facebook page:
“All Americans should be deeply troubled by the fatal shootings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. We’ve seen such tragedies far too many times, and our hearts go out to the families and communities who’ve suffered such a painful loss.
“Although I am constrained in commenting on the particular facts of these cases, I am encouraged that the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation in Baton Rouge, and I have full confidence in their professionalism and their ability to conduct a thoughtful, thorough, and fair inquiry.
“But regardless of the outcome of such investigations, what’s clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.
“To admit we’ve got a serious problem in no way contradicts our respect and appreciation for the vast majority of police officers who put their lives on the line to protect us every single day. It is to say that, as a nation, we can and must do better to institute the best practices that reduce the appearance or reality of racial bias in law enforcement.
“That’s why, two years ago, I set up a Task Force on 21st Century Policing that convened police officers, community leaders, and activists. Together, they came up with detailed recommendations on how to improve community policing. So even as officials continue to look into this week’s tragic shootings, we also need communities to address the underlying fissures that lead to these incidents, and to implement those ideas that can make a difference. That’s how we’ll keep our communities safe. And that’s how we can start restoring confidence that all people in this great nation are equal before the law.
“In the meantime, all Americans should recognize the anger, frustration, and grief that so many Americans are feeling — feelings that are being expressed in peaceful protests and vigils. Michelle and I share those feelings. Rather than fall into a predictable pattern of division and political posturing, let’s reflect on what we can do better. Let’s come together as a nation, and keep faith with one another, in order to ensure a future where all of our children know that their lives matter.”
FUBO to the tenth power.
This POS needs to go away. Nothing but a racist baiting ass.
Everybody’s racist, especially Barack Obama
Why not?
Comey proved that even the FBI is a tame beast of the elites.
He forgot to mention that they were aspiring rappers turning their lives around.
I am convinced - this marks the start of another another pre-arranged political agitation movement from Obama and his Red Guards, organized by the DOJ.
Be prepared for a summer of organized protests, riots, media propaganda and above all, themes of racism and institutional guilt to be shoved down America’s throat for the purpose of making America weary and confused.
It is an election strategy? Is it Obama trying to cement his influence in politics somehow? I don’t know for sure. I just see that is this is not coincidence at all.
Don’t worry, the Dept. of “Just Us” will get to the bottom of this.
to the 10th power LOL. You must hate him more than I do
Lol...spoken immediately after posturing and sowing more division than ever.
Hacked messages of #BlackLivesMatter leader reveal Obama admin’s plan for ‘summer of chaos’ ...
He started a task force two years ago, and this killing is still happening???
We are headed toward a situation where only an officer of the same race can respond to a situation and take severe action, other than a white perp where any officer’s race is okay.
The DiC and his beard have made America worse
This pre-election season is going to be extremely volatile...
False flag, anyone? Do we even know if some of this sh*t isn't staged for the cameras? How many more 'white cop killin' blacks' is going to occur in the next few days?...
Expect another, I reckon!
I cannot speak to how much you hate him :). But I was being conservative in stating my feelings!
Once again, that idiot rushes to the nearest media source to opine and scold the cops-puts his mouth in gear before engaging his brain...
The two incidents don’t look the same at all, except that both people were killed by cops...
Baraqs trying to change the subject, because Hillary’s a liar and whole world knows it...
