About time someone says what needs to be said!

Quote:“Our communities are safer thanks to brave police officers and hard-working prosecutors who put those violent criminals in jail.”

Quote:“To be a police officer takes a special kind of courage…. It takes a special kind of courage to run towards danger, to be a person that residents turn to when they’re most desperate.”

Quote:“Your jobs are inherently dangerous. The reminders are too common. Just a few days ago, two police officers were killed in the line of duty in Mississippi. A week before that, an officer was killed in the line of duty in Queens. A few months before that, two of his fellow officers in the NYPD were killed as well. We cannot erase every darkness or danger from the duty that you’ve chosen. We can offer you the support you need to be safer. We can make the communities you care about and protect safer as well. We can make sure that you have the resources you need to do your job. We can do everything we have to do to combat the poverty that plagues too many communities in which you have to serve. We can work harder, as a nation, to heal the rifts that still exist in some places between law enforcement and the people you risk your lives to protect.

“We owe it to all of you who wear the badge with honor. And we owe it to your fellow officers who gave their last full measure of devotion. Most of all, we can say thank you. We can say we appreciate you and we’re grateful for the work that you do each and every day. And we can thank the families who bear the burden alongside you.”

Quote:“The overwhelming number of law enforcement officers have a really hard, dangerous job, and they do it well and they do it fairly, and they do it heroically. And I strongly believe that. And the overwhelming majority of police departments across the country are really thinking hard about how do we make sure that we are protecting and serving everybody equally. And we need to honor those folks, and we need to respect them, and not just assume that they’ve got ill will or they’re doing a bad job.”

Quote:“We may have different takes on the events of Ferguson and New York. But surely we can understand a father who fears his son can’t walk home without being harassed. And surely we can understand the wife who won’t rest until the police officer she married walks through the front door at the end of his shift.”

Thanks Obama!

Nope, not possible.

Maybe the rest will take notes and stop kowtowing to Black Lives Matter.

Much of it comes from Officers fearing if they do their job and an unfortunate incident occurs then they and their families will have to go into hiding to escape the Mob of BLM nut jobs like "Sunshine" and can't work because you have the DOJ all over the Department.

DOJ frequently sues Police Departments and uses heavy handed Consent Decrees to impose shortsighted Federal Directives.

Or, you know, me could mean what he says. I think the overwhelming majority of all Americans would agree with his statements.

Who was he referencing with regards to being harassed ? Which boy was that ? And by whom?

No one has said the GOP isn't dumb.
