President Obama was riding in the front of the bus last night [View All]

I have to admit that I am a little late to the conversation but here is my take on President Obama's statement heard round the world. It was not only appropriate, it was very necessary. What better opportunity and what better spokesman to shine a light on a very real and continuing form of racism that exists among our nations police departments. Here we have a situation that was so blatant and so very stupid and when the President courageously says just that...gasp....people are just shocked. Give me a break. What he did was call out the honor and integrity of our nations finest and we can't have that can we? We all know that the police can't be corrupted or biased. They are all naturally honest, upstanding men and woman simply because they took a job that puts their lives in danger.(Sarcasm notation for those who don't get it) A better opportunity may never exist to call this shit out for what it is yet we have people here that are cowering in the fear of potential political backlash. I call bullshit. My commander in chief did the right thing and that is coming from a white female who has never been arrested.
