how was obama responsible for anti police propaganda???
For starters, he has a habit of rushing in and calling the police stupid or racist before all the facts are in.
"The police acted stupidly" ... "long history of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately." Playing the race card with no evidence other than the ethnicities of the people involved -- Black professor and White Cop.
In the aftermath, Obama stated that he regretted his comments and hoped that the situation could become a "teachable moment".
According to the police report, Crowley arrived at the scene, went up to the front door, and asked Gates to step outside. Crowley explained he was investigating the report of a break-in in progress; as he did so, Gates opened the front door and said, "Why, because I'm a black man in America?"
Crowley's report states that he believed Gates was lawfully in the residence, but that he was surprised and confused by Gates' behavior, which included a threat that Crowley did not know who he was "messing with." Crowley then asked Gates for a photo ID so as to verify he was the resident of the house; Gates initially refused, but then did supply his Harvard University identification card. Crowley wrote that Gates repeatedly shouted requests for his identification. Crowley then told Gates that he was leaving his residence and that if Gates wanted to continue discussing the matter, he would speak to him outside. Gates replied, "Yeah, I'll speak with your mama outside." On the 9-1-1 dispatcher audio recordings, a man's loud voice is heard in the background at several points during Sgt. Crowley's transmissions.
Gates stepped onto his front porch and continued to yell at him, accusing him of racial bias and saying he had not heard the last of him. Faced with this tumultuous behavior from Gates now outside his residence, Crowley warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. When Gates ignored this warning and persisted in his behavior, and likewise ignored a second warning from Crowley, Crowley informed him that he was under arrest.
Fast forward to Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown. There has been ZERO evidence of any racism on the part of Zimmerman and the police. Statistics do not necessarily indicate how Cops feel about anybody's skin color. Statistics usually indicate the demographics of the criminals -- nothing more.
Each time, Obama made public comments specifically referring to racial problems in the country when race was not an issue in these events ... at least not from the point of view of the officers or Zimmerman. Obama MAKES race the issue regardless of the facts.
When you tell people over and over there is a race problem, and you are the first Black President of America, your comments tend to stick with people.
Obama always sides WITH the minority who most times turns out to be committing a crime at the time of the incident, and implies the Cops were acting out of racism by profiling the individual who died or was arrested.
Words matter.
