U.S. President Barack Obama asked Congress on Monday for $263 million for the federal response to the civil rights upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, and is setting up a task force to study how to improve modern-day policing.
The funds would pay for body
cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law
enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as
Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict a white police
officer in the August shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, the
White House said.

Obama: Please explain the nature of the "civil rights upheaval" at Ferguson, Missouri, to justify your request for funds. Delineate specifically whose rights were violated, what laws were broken, and why the Federal investigation remains open without producing any evidence of a civil rights violation. Your intervention was unnecessary and only served to exacerbate the situation. Write yourself an executive order personal check.
ReplyDeleteJust resign and then we can play with Biden! :)
DeleteGoodbye, Bammy. Obama, exits stage left. At least Biden's bloopers are entertaining at times.
DeleteYes, with that crazy grin of his. :)
DeleteIt's crazy when you think about his BFF, the Mayor of Chicago, with all those murders and mayhem on his hands. You'd think he would want to help him out.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Holder getting a permanently embedded camera in his forehead.
