When and how did Obama do that? The right wing seems to rely on misconstruing what was said, or worse, fundementally misunderstanding what and why things are said and done. Absolutely mind numbing that think Obama made police an "enemy of the people".

I guess you weren’t listening to him for eight years. His hatred of the police couldn’t have been more obvious. With every incident he casted doubt over the police. He had no use for the military either.

In each incident that made national news the police acted “questionably” for lack of a better word

You can not say each incident because that is not true. All officers are not bad but some are. If any act wrongful then they should be treated accordingly.

EACH INCIDENT THAT MADE NATIONAL NEWS WAS BEYOND QUESTIONABLE. Not nearly enough was done to address those that acted in such a way.

Yo Willy, take a look back at the very 1st racial incident that BHO stuck his nose into, the arrest of Henry Louis Gates. He called out the Cambridge police for acting stupidly while not knowing any of the facts involved in the incident. That is where is started.

Was this beyond questionable? Under BHO, we have the rise of BLM which, let's be honest, doesn't care one iota about black lives, just when they are killed by whitey. Black on black murder occurs everyday in Chicago and not a peep by this group. But they hate their cops though!!

Those cops acted STUPIDLY as well. They saw a black man and assumed guilt. “Black on black” crime is a Fox News talking point, and the comparison to blacks being killed by police is a false equivalency. There is no justice when the police murder.

My oldest son is a police officer. He is a very compassionate person. Through him I've know many police officers. I've never met ONE that had the mindset that the narrative tries to push. RIP deputy. Strength to your family.

Damn right! Our Officers are special people and bless us with their courage to protect us...even these morons we are reading about! RESPECT

Yup. Even the ones that would spit on the cops. They protect and help them when in need.

I really feel, now, with the soulless thugs out there today, our LEO'S must not hesitate to shoot and protect their own lives.

Bottom line is if you resist an officer with violence, you increase the likelihood that you will die exponentially. The past 8 years has fed into the false narrative against cops. Leading to cops having to use force more often. Cops want to go home too. It's a hard job.

Thank you speaking the kind words, I'm just really too pissed to address the sentiment. Bless you hun.
