Well written with the right message. Wish our current president would step up and say and write more than “fake news” or “law and order”.https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1267459874788646912 …

His words didn't do anything then, and they don't do anything now. Just vapid platitudes while the grassroots orgs in his network are stoking the flames behind the scenes.

I don’t think he’s in a good position to do much more than write an article. He’s not president any longer. I don’t know what he’s doing behind the scenes. I don’t think they were vapid platitudes. People respect him a lot. He has influence.

Didn't do anything during Ferguson. He enflamed tensions by pushing hands up don't shoot narrative, which his own DOJ showed to be nonsense. US was now divided after his 8 yrs because of him and his network.

Yes, it definitely seemed like racism was perceived to have gotten worse over that period, but there were some conflating factors like cell phones being able to record everything. I wish he were more pro-justice-system but I thought this piece was right.

Yes. There will never not be a period when occasionally ugly incidents don't occur- social media amplifies. We need solutions- what are the best ideas coming out of the ~3000 US counties for addressing police misconduct? The voters in those counties are the cop's bosses...

Molson Hart Retweeted Andrew Cuomo
Which is what Obama was saying right? I like the end of qualified immunity and publishing all police brutality records.https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo/status/1267176579051991041 …
Molson Hart added,
Andrew CuomoVerified account @NYGovCuomoChange must come and it starts with standardizing police misconduct policies across America. We need: -Independent police misconduct investigations -One universal definition of excessive force -Publicly available disciplinary records of officers who are accused of misconduct1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Also, NO! No top-down national police system. No. Cuomo should focus on his own (my own) state. His Dad was governor as well during a similar period. If that family hasn't perfected this by now, why roll out nationally? We need less federal involvement in all aspects...

I wasn't endorsing everything he said and I do agree that localist policies are appropriate here.

I think it's time to insist on solutions from all sides. Anger and emotion are natural but too much generalized screaming past each other. My neighbors smashing up stores need to explain what they want; and it can't be free college or $20 min wage or green new deal. Solve THIS.

The type of people who smash up stores want luxury goods and the type of people who want that stuff don't have the tools to answer that question. IMHO, I don't think there is any law or change that will satisfy some of these protestors.
