[Breitbart] After a pair of police-involved shootings of young black men, President Barack Obama is drawing attention to the disproportionate rate at which young black men get shot or killed after coming in contact with police, but the data in Democrat-run Chicago paints a more nuanced picture that dispels liberal politicians’ promises of quick fixes.
As the news of two police involved shootings knocked Hillary Clinton’s email troubles off the front pages, President Obama released a statement lamenting the shootings saying "all Americans should be troubled" by the separate incidents where police officers shot and killed young black men. Obama’s criticism of police came only hours before five Dallas officers were killed during a Black Lives Matter protest.
"To be concerned about these issues is not political correctness. It’s just being an American," Obama insisted. "And to recognize the reality that we got some tough history and we haven’t gotten through that history yet."
But the president seems to forget all about that "being an American" when it concerns the staggering murder rates of Chicago. |
