This was President Obama speaking at the memorial service in Dallas today. How can the police fix all the problems people are facing and doing crazy things? We call on the police for all the problems, if you have noticed.
It is true we expect police to do everything to make us happy. Dog watching, Getting kids home and off the streets.
Got the wrong order at the fast food window. Keep our kids in line in school. Make the neighbor mow the grass.
Well he should know. He spent almost 8 years now hearing the GOP telling him he is the reason for everything wrong and he should waive a magic wand and make it better. So, now the needy and insecure and brain dead need to focus on something else to blame for a few hours.
The police can't fix ghetto neighborhoods. The people who live in those neighborhoods have to do it.
No, I don't expect the police to fix everything.
I expect them to conduct themselves in a professional and unprejudiced manner. Too many of them don't do so, and too many of the public are OK with police misconduct since it mostly affects Nig...er, poor/urban/ethnic people.
Yes, I do expect the police to solve the problem of blowing the faces off of infants with flash-bang grenades by NOT blowing off the faces of infants with flash-bang grenades.
But, as has been typical of Obama's presidency, he refuses to acknowledge how fundamentally broken and dysfunctional many aspects of American society/governance are.
We DO NOT call on the Police for all out problems... We call on the police for Public Safety .. The Government is not our nanny , if you haven't noticed .
