There Is No Such Thing As President Obama’s War On Police Officers

By Sean Colarossi on Mon, Jul 11th, 2016 at 7:47 pm

This is yet another Republican myth we can add to the growing landfill of right-wing lies.

In the era of President Obama, almost all Republican ideas and talking points are rooted in outright lies or conspiracy theories.

...............................

Now, after a gunman in Dallas killed five police officers, we’re being blessed with yet another tinfoil-hat-wearing argument: President Obama is anti-cop.

The argument is simple and nothing short of crazy.......................

Last year, Obama signed into law the Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu National Blue Alert Act – named after two police officers killed in a 2014 ambush attack. The measure requires instant nationwide “Blue Alerts” that notify law enforcement officers of any impending attacks and help them track down possible suspects trying to carry them out.

At the bill’s signing ceremony last year, Obama said it’s important that “we do everything we can to help ensure the safety of our police officers when they’re in the line of duty.”........................

think for themselves. They live-off the Democrats because we give their lives meaning: they oppose about everything Democrats are for! ... that is, they oppose dealing with the problems we face. They are the prostitutes for the wealthy and powerful.
