Obama has supported Police more then any other President

has in recent memory. Heck most of the new equipment that police received was under Obama. So when I hear people say that Obama is somehow anti police or not speaking taking the Police's back, its either they are lying or just plain stupid.

Now I think he may take the Police's back too much personally.

Another note is St. Ronnie under his Presidency had the most police killed.

What they need is more and better training. What they want is more black ninja uniforms, more weapons, etc.

Even if a president thinks privately that cops killing black guys with impunity is wrong, he can't say that publicly.

His party would be irreparably damaged. And it this case, Trump would become the next president.

because they assume all black people hate cops, live on welfare, cheat their way through life, do drugs, want to enslave white people, etc...

It's dog whistle stuff that is heard by the GOP's audience and the media loves to play along.
