Confronting another killing of police officers, President Barack Obama on Sunday urged Americans to tamp down inflammatory words and actions as a violent summer collides with the nation’s heated presidential campaign.

Obama said the motive behind Sunday’s killing of three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was still unknown. It was the latest in a string of deadly incidents involving law enforcement, including the police shooting of a black man in Baton Rouge and the killing of five officers in Dallas.

“We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies attacks on law enforcement,” Obama said in remarks from the White House briefing room. […]

“We don’t need inflammatory rhetoric. We don’t need careless accusations thrown around to score political points or to advance an agenda. We need to temper our words and open our hearts … all of us,” Obama said. …

Tell that to his adoring fans in the media...those who have had their lips super glued to his ass for 7.5 years.

They ALL have blood on their hands.

Borrowing a term from the days of the banking / mortgage crisis, “government-manufactured crisis,” please consider the following.

If I recall, lawyer Obama is alleged to have helped force banks give out predatory loans (corrections welcome) that the feds would later use to unconstitutionally expand its powers by rescuing banks, the states having never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate banking.

Concerning recent social unrest targeting police departments, Obama is unsurprisingly evidently still in the business of unconstitutionally expanding the federal government’s powers, this time by “rescuing” the police from his government-manufactured crisis of demonizing police.

" President Barack Obama on Sunday urged Americans to tamp down inflammatory words and actions as a violent summer collides ..."

Of course. Obama will just continue running his mouth
about how White America is the cause of all Afro_American
troubles but white Americans can say nothing. It's about what I
would expect from Imposter in Chief of America.

It’s not on TV. It’s a Netflix original series.

Someone once said if they bring a knife and we bring a gun. I can’t quite remember who that was.

Obama: I condemn all killings, no matter who does it.

Typical Obama dogwhistle-speak. Also typical muslim-speak.

So apparently ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ doesn’t include cop-hating rhetoric, because the Bamster has been full of that for a while.

Obama isn’t talking here to his tribe. He’s talking to you and me. We need to STFU. We aren’t allowed to get upset, emotional or violent. It is the white man’s burden to be the civilized victim. Shut up and hand over your money, your freedom and your life. You only have those because of your white privilege. His and Holder’s people can run as wild as they want.

To which I say FUBO. I’m upset. They have no idea.
