Can you imagine how Un-American it would have been had a police commissioner been "deeply pained" by |

Seriously, you know the attitude is our country's first Black president is not deserving of any kind of respect. The President of the United States of America made an observation about police conduct and he is being called out. I don't know about you but I think when the President of the United States of America questions some police tactics you should evaluate and revisits those tactics.

3. The race issue is revving up into a rolling boil isn't it? |
|
It's beginning to overflow out of the pot.
Now the Police Commissioner feels he and his are being picked on? Is this another salvo regarding reverse bigotry and how badly white men are being treated now?

comment that perhaps these cops were now going to join up with the New Haven firefighters and make a point about reverse racism!
ETA: It was Howard Fineman.

7. Mike Barnacle? He's like a crazy old uncle |
|
and has a name befitting Sponge Bob Square Pants. Come to think of it, if he wants better ratings he should switch shows.

5. That bothered me to. I just didn't type it earlier when the headlines were popping thru. |

I figured the whole situation was media avoiding the healthcare issue in the first place. In the second place I thought the response to President Obama was a little oh poor me. The policeofficer thought he was correct in arresting the Professor; he should be able to stand up for his actions.. oh, that's right, they dropped the charges when they realized that the Professor wasn't just a regular older black man and that he couldn't be thrown around by the system.

12. Yep. Everyone seems to think they can disrespect him with impunity |
|
From the obstructionist asses in Congress to the jerks with their smirking questions in the Press Corps to the idiot fringe.
So why are some bristling at what he said? Is it a first instinct reaction to believing the black man spoke his mind too freely, and now he's gonna get it?
:wtf:

14. It's really getting to be more than they can handle. |

You have some ass on the house floor discussing whether the president's mother would have had a "free abortion" when she was pregnant with him. You have these insane birther racist pieces of shit getting prime time attention. The President attempting to address health care, while being questioned about racial profiling. What the hell is next?
This is why I don't give a shit about an american flag.....it means nothing to people of color. After all, we aren't valued in this fucked up society. The media is helping to destroy this presidency, and ensure not a damn thing gets done. I'm completely fed up.
