Obama wants police reform... how about criminal reform? How about compliance with police orders? How about demonstrators getting a job and becoming useful citizens?
My heart goes out to Darren Wilson who has had his life ruined. Police officers should be honored for the job they do, and it's not the police who need to be reformed, it's a culture with no respect. Now that culture doesn't care about facts, and Obama has appointed Al Sharpton as ring leader to stir the pot and call for revolution, as he demonstrates lawlessness and pursues race driven legal action against police.
When people don't comply with verbal commands, the police will escalate to whatever force is necessary, and the police should win. We have a sector in our country with no respect for the law. On the day after Thanksgiving my wife and I were coming back from WI with our new blood tracking puppy, when my wife pulled into a rest stop near East Saint Louis where the only other car was a police vehicle...... NO one wants any part of Saint Louis, which will go the way of Detroit at this rate. Then we passed Ferguson on the Interstate, and fortunately the interstate was open, instead of being closed by protesters who act out without facts, with nothing better to do.
Thank your police for maintaining law and order, and teach respect for police authority?
BTW, these are the same people who oppose gun rights!
