Obama’s speech about the Dallas shooting was very eloquent. Here are a couple of passages:
“Like police officers across the country, these men and their families shared a commitment to something larger than themselves. They weren’t looking for their names to be up in lights. They’d tell you the pay was decent but wouldn’t make you rich. They could have told you about the stress and long shifts, and they’d probably agree with Chief Brown when he said that cops don’t expect to hear the words “thank you” very often, especially from those who need them the most."“No, the reward comes in knowing that our entire way of life in America depends on the rule of law; that the maintenance of that law is a hard and daily labor; that in this country, we don’t have soldiers in the streets or militias setting the rules. Instead, we have public servants — police officers — like the men who were taken away from us. We know that the overwhelming majority of police officers do an incredibly hard and dangerous job fairly and professionally. They are deserving of our respect and not our scorn. (Applause.) And when anyone, no matter how good their intentions may be, paints all police as biased or bigoted, we undermine those officers we depend on for our safety. And as for those who use rhetoric suggesting harm to police, even if they don’t act on it themselves — well, they not only make the jobs of police officers even more dangerous, but they do a disservice to the very cause of justice that they claim to promote. (Applause.)”

Actually it was a right wing hater who drove the car into left wing group, also the right wing extremists were armed with guns and clubs and had hired a biker gang to protect them.
Screw Obama, that guy is GONE! Are you really trying to justify Trump’s blatant racism by comparing him to stupid things Obama said? That’s pure BS. You may as well compare it to racist remarks made by Nixon, LBJ or Millard Freaking Fillmore. Just because other presidents were idiots does not mean that we have to tolerate the stupidity of this one.

Yay, one of the Trump Disciple cartoonists concocted a way to blame Obama.
You knew it would happen.

Why do you folks ALWAYS bring it back to Obama? Stuck in a time warp are you?

I am so bone tired of the false equivalencies the right wing propagandists draw. They have lost all reason and proportion. Sad.

“You/Jews will not replace us/our streets/blood and soil”, chanted Trump’s Nazi friends.

Trump killed a cop? More like 2 cops and a civilian out in the street. He is responsible for what his radical base has brought to Charlottesville.

@chevjames…there is no alt-left. That’s just more false equivalence. Educate yourself beyond your Fox and Breitbart echo chamber nonsense.
