    Outstanding- he has the balls to stand up for what he believes in while at the same time being extraordinarily complimentary of our men and women in blue. Way more conviction than turds like you.

    What about Bush?

    "Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions."

    You could learn a lesson from the former Republican President, asshat.

    WOW.....you and her missed the whole point of the speech. And you wonder why nothing ever changes. People like you too ARE the problem.

    It's sad, isn't it? So many people just exist to find a single shard or tidbit which will support their hatred. Twitter is the best implement for this phenomenon that our species has ever encountered. It's pure poison for humanity, IMHO.

    Great for sports reporting or bird watching. Bad for a civil society faced with real issues.

    The difference of course was that one had a legitimate cause and the other was just being an ass.

    "Everyone was helping each other,” one witness said. And it wasn’t about black or white. Everyone was picking each other up and moving them away.

    See, that’s the America I know. The police helped Shetamia Taylor as she was shot trying to shield her four sons. She said she wanted her boys to join her to protest the incidents of black men being killed.

    She also said to the Dallas P.D., thank you for being heroes. And today, her 12-year-old son wants to be a cop when he grows up. That’s the America I know.

    Great speech. Very evenhanded and realistic about race and police relations. He doesn't vilify the cops, whatever RL wants to say about it.

    It's only a racial issue if asshat president wants to make it about race. I just posted a Harvard study that debunks that so yeah keep making it about race if that's what fuels the agenda.

    Really interesting and powerful. Complex. It might endure, if anything longer than a tweet can endure that is.

    Very moving and places the service of those officers where it belongs, on the highest shelf.

    Obama leaves me SMH yet again with this speech. He doubled down on stupid. Just when I think he can't get any worse, he proves me wrong. January 2017 can't come soon enough. Hell even SHrillary would be an improvement over our current asshat President.

    We're living in Obama's America. Is this his father's dream?

    The "facts" is racial tension has never been higher. Anti-cop rhetoric has never been more clear from a president.
