Obama calls for police reforms, doesn't address Trump
By Jonathan Easley - 06/03/20 06:39 PM EDT



ormer President Obama on Wednesday called for police reforms but did not mention President Trump and largely steered clear of the polarizing politics that have wracked the nation following the death of George Floyd.

Speaking at a virtual town hall from his home in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Obama outlined changes he said would reduce police violence toward racial minorities.

The former president said chokeholds should be outlawed and that officers should not be able to shoot at moving vehicles. He called on local police departments to establish clear use-of-force guidelines and said officers should have to intervene when another officer has become too rough with a suspect.


“I’m urging every mayor in this country to review your use-of-force policies with members of your community and to commit to reforms,” Obama said.

“Let’s go ahead and implement those. We need those in positions of power to say this is a priority,” he added.

So no reform of the people who are raising criminals that require police intervention on a regular bases then. All is well on that front. Soon no one is going to want to be a police officer in these neighborhoods/cities. And then you can fully enjoy the consequences of your shifting of blame.

Obama had eight years to call for police reforms.  It amuses me to hear him criticize the America he shaped.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

His "reforms" set up a storm of violence during his second term.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Obama seems to be actively avoiding a Trump tweet storm.
