Barack Obama: No Excuse For Baltimore Riots But America Must Do Some 'Soul Searching'

28 Apr 2015 President Barack Obama has condemned rioting in Baltimore, saying there was "no excuse" for the violence which erupted after the funeral of a black man who was injured in police custody. Freddie Gray, 25, was laid to rest on Monday. He died following a spinal injury sustained in police custody. Following the funeral, rioters took to the streets of Baltimore, torching cars, pelting police with stones and looting businesses in the city. Despite his condemnation of the rioters, Obama acknowledged a "slow-rolling crisis" in community policing, especially in treatment of African Americans. "We have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with individuals – primarily African American, often poor – in ways that raise troubling questions," he told reporters at the White House. "I think there are police departments that have to do some soul-searching. I think there's some communities that have to do some soul-searching. I think we as a country have to do some soul-searching."

Obama: “ I hay why people”

[cripplecreek]

The democrats are sliding toward reparations. Hairy Roid is saying the GOP congress needs to “invest” in the cities but won’t.

“I think there are police departments that have to do some soul-searching. I think there's some communities that have to do some soul-searching. I think we as a country have to do some soul-searching.”

I can't imagine a more stupid or arrogant statement. Obama and the Democrats including the Mayor of Baltimore are the ones who need to do “soul searching."

That would be if any of them even had a soul.

[TADSLOS]

ON YOUR KNEES, AMERICA!!

[oyez]

No soul searching for me. I have made most of my lifestyle choices correctly. Let the thugs do the searching.

[elcid1970]

No soul searching here. Just weapons cleaning. Best done while watching Baltimore burn.

[MamaDearest]

Using common sense, he must mean we should arm ourselves to protect our families from the thugs who would loot, then burn down our homes and cities.

[LottieDah]

So the “Race Baiter In Chief” thinks we should do some “soul searching”> How about telling the animals in Baltimore to cut the crap and start behaving like human beings.

[stephenjohnbanker]

If there is NO excuse for the riots, why ask for those who didn’t participate to search their souls? Shouldn’t Obama ask the guilty parties to search THEIR souls ?

Obama, you racist POS, search YOUR soul!

[Milton Miteybad]

I'm searching my soul, trying to figure out why we've spent so many trillions of dollars on the cities and their inhabitants, when it clearly has done no good whatsoever and has gone completely unappreciated.

Considering the lack of results in this massive effort, it appears, after much additional soul-searching, that we need to ask for our money back.

And I'll further search my soul in an effort to determine how Bronko Bama can help us get these ill-spent trillions back to us, the taxpayers.

Exactly
