| Champ Urges Americans to Tamp Down Divisive Inflamatory Rhetoric |
| 2016-07-18 |
Obama said the motive behind Sunday's killing of three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was still unknown. It was the latest in a string of deadly incidents involving law enforcement, including the police shooting of a black man in Baton Rouge and the killing of five officers in Dallas. "We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies attacks on law enforcement," Obama said in remarks from the White House briefing room. |

| #5 Has he condemned BLM or the New Black Panthers or the vast number of Chicago killings, mostly blacks. I recall him saying: "'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon' If he had a son would he look like the recent cop killers? |

| #4 Or it could be he's like some small child who's been playing with matches and when that dry grass starts burning he panics when because finally realizes that he can't control it. But either way, it's not good. We have a president who either deliberately or out of sheer incompetence has been fanning the flames of a wild fire. |

| #3 This is just optics. He wants the violence to keep rising. That way he can declare martial law if it looks like the Beast will lose. |

| #2 July 2009 (six months after assuming the Presidency): Obama continued, "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that [Gates case]. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact." |
