Obama tells cops: 'We have your backs'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/19/16 | Kelly Cohen

Posted on 07/19/2016 12:44:08 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama wrote an open letter to the nation's police officers Monday night to say "we have your backs," after two separate shootings in which eight police officers were killed in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

His letter was addressed to the "brave members of our law enforcement community" and was posted on the Fraternal Order of Police's Facebook page. Obama offered his unwavering support to police as they "do their difficult, dangerous jobs."

"I want you to know that the American people see it, too," the president wrote. "We recognize it, we respect it, we appreciate it, and we depend on you."

Obama said he will not use the current tense situations in many states "to divide police and communities you serve."

I’m sure he has their backs,
right in his crosshairs.

'We have your backs'

Depends who "we" are?

The only backs Obama has are those of the Muslim Brotherhood and subversive domestic groups like BLM and the New Black Panthers.

“we have your backs,”

What he meant was that Obama and his friends will stab you in the back.

The Devil loves chaos.

He’s been trying to start 1,000 fires across the country for years and we all knew what he was.

And Hillary supports him. /end of preaching to the choir

Obama “having cops’ backs” is EXACTLY what scares them! (they’re not stupid, they know a dangerous enemy when they see one)

How many police believe this?

Any Freepers out there policemen/women, or family or friends of law enforcement? If so, what do you think of Obama saying he’s got your back? Do you believe it?

People are smart enough to know that he only praises cops once they are dead.

Where is his support for Darren Wilson? Daniel Pantaleo? Caesar Goodson, Brian Rice, Edward Nero, Garrett Miller, William Porter and Alicia White?

We know where his heart lies.

Coming from Obama, that sounds like a direct threat, not a reassurance at all. Obama has taught us to see the slithering, venomous snake in every remark he makes about law enforcement or the military.

No cop in his right mind would look the other way with Obama behind him.
