Joe Biden: Obama Tells Cops in White House Meeting Their Police Forces Are Racist

President Barack Obama is trying to muffle politically dangerous opposition from police groups to his support for the radical and violent Black Lives Movement — but he’s also insisting to cops that their careers, colleagues and police forces are ‘institutionally racist.’

Obama met with representatives of several police groups at the White House on Monday, just one day before he attends a commemoration — and gives a speech — in Dallas for five cops who were killed by anti-white, racist African-American.
When the police groups told him that he’s not done enough to support the nation’s popular police forces, Obama quickly rejected their criticism, Vice President Joe Biden told CNN. He “talked about [his support]. He gave a list. He said, ‘I’ll be happy to send you all of these statements that I have made,” Biden said. “I don’t think that the [police groups] heard loudly and clearly, that, he in fact has, repeatedly, been supportive of the police organizations,” Biden insisted.

But Obama then told the police groups that they, their members and their police forces are part of a racist law enforcement system, Biden said.

“And he said, ‘But you also have to recognize that there is still institutional discrimination. That doesn’t just exist in policing. It exists in many other areas, hiring, housing, etc. And you’ — and so, then they started talking, and said, ‘Well, maybe we, the law enforcement organization, should reach out and say, look, we understand why you may be concerned about how we deal with you, but here’s — let’s have a conversation, tell us what it is specifically.”

Progressives say ‘institutional racism’ exists when groups and organizations treat members of one racial group differently from another group, because any average differences between groups — in real-estate ownership, hiring rates or criminality, for example — is supposedly caused by racism.

In additional to pushing his planned police takeover of state and local policing, Obama is also federalizing state and city housing rules and rental rules, and is trying to regulate hiring — amid tepid opposition from the GOP majorities in Congress.
But there’s a huge and growing body of statistical and witness evidence that Obama is incorrect when he claims that police forces treat blacks differently from whites when enforcing the law amid disproportionate and growing criminal violence in African-American communities.

Obama’s accusation of ‘institutional racism’ was not mentioned in the White House’s summary of the meeting.

Today the President and Vice President met in the Roosevelt Room with law enforcement leaders who represent chiefs, sheriffs and rank and file officers across the country. They thanked the leaders for their service and expressed condolences for their colleagues lost in the line of duty.

After that one sentence above about ‘thanks’ and ‘lost colleagues,’ the White House statement included five more sentences about Obama pushing the cops to get on board his step-by-step federalization plan, dubbed the “21st Century Policing Task Force.”

The President and Vice President wanted to hear directly from law enforcement officials about their ideas on best practices for building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. They discussed the implementation of the reforms and recommendations laid out by the 21st Century Policing Task Force. They also talked about ways to support officer training in safely deescalating confrontations and systems to ensure the safety and wellness of those who protect all of us. The President recognized the importance of their continued partnership and emphasized his commitment to finding solutions to enhance public safety and reduce tensions between officers and the communities they serve. The Vice President committed to reconvening law enforcement and community leaders for ongoing consultation.

Biden said he would continue to pressure the police groups to accept Obama’s policing rules.

So, it was a real, it’s an overused Washington word, there was real dialogue in there. And so, I agreed to sit with them, with a specific agenda, that they make up over the next ten days, and begin to go through it, as to how — and bring in the community as well.

Obama is also inviting political allies to the White House for a Wednesday meeting to push his federalization plan. On Monday, his spokesman told reporters that;

On Wednesday, the President will convene another meeting here at the White House that will include law enforcement officials, but it will also include activists, academics, civil rights leaders, local political leaders from across the country, to, again, try to further the dialogue and the identification of specific solutions to repairing the bonds of trust that have frayed in so many communities between law enforcement officials and the citizens that they’re sworn to serve and protect.

One participant in the Monday meeting, Jim Pasco, the executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, told Politico that Obama claimed the Dallas killer would have been tried for “hate crimes” if he had survived.

If Obama makes that statement in public, that’s a significant concession because it indirectly describes a black killer as a racist. Many left-wing or progressive groups say African-Americans can’t be described as racist because they don’t have political power, even when the president and the Attorney General are African-Americans.

Pasco told Obama that he “very much” appreciated Obama’s remark, and “at the end of the meeting I asked him to reiterate that publicly,” Pasco told Politico.

But Obama’s support for cops is a pale version of the enormous praise that Obama lavishes on the violent anti-cop movement. At a July 10 press conference in Spain, for example, Obama said the violent BLM movement is speaking “truth to power” and is similar to the 1950s anti-racism movement.

One of the great things about America is that individual citizens and groups of citizens can petition their government, can protest, can speak truth to power. And that is sometimes messy and controversial. But because of that ability to protest and engage in free speech, America, over time, has gotten better. We’ve all benefited from that.
The abolition movement was contentious. The effort for women to get the right to vote was contentious and messy. There were times when activists might have engaged in rhetoric that was overheated and occasionally counterproductive. But the point was to raise issues so that we, as a society, could grapple with it. The same was true with the Civil Rights Movement, the union movement, the environmental movement, the anti-war movement during Vietnam. And I think what you’re seeing now is part of that longstanding tradition.

The public, however, is growing alarmed at the sharp spike in murder rates — which has sent hundreds of Americans to early graves — while Obama and his allies in the Black Lives Matter group mobilize African-Americans voters for the 2016 vote, and also pressure police to reduce law-enforcement in majority-black districts. For example, murder rates in Dallas are on track to double from 2014 to 2016, even as Obama compliments the city’s leaders for embracing his police regulations.

The law enforcement groups at the meeting included the Major Counties Sheriffs’ Association, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Association of Police Organizations, the Major Cities Chiefs Police Association, the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Police Executive Research Forum.

In my opinion, the White House has been turned into the mothership of racism.. It is past time to clean it out!

Maybe they should be out walking the beat with policemen for a week for education of course they would have to have their armed security with them. Our government are obviously encouraging race wars. This removes any doubt from my mind. They make statements before investigations are finished to determine what actually happened. The government appears to be trying to break the police force possibly so they can maybe replace them maybe why the UN is starting to be seen more across the country? Just my guess.

POLICE STATE USA
Obama's federalization of police grows nationwide

White House: 53 departments sign on to federal oversight

Police around the nation are joining on to President Obama’s plan.

Announced Friday, 53 police departments around the country have signed on so far to the White House-pressed Police Data Initiative, a plan by President Obama to make crime-fighting more technology-driven and accountable to higher-ups, but that is seen by critics as a not-so-subtle federal takeover of community policing.

The program, which comes by way of a recommendation from the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that Obama launched in December – which was created by the White House in response to widely reported instances of police-community clashes and alleged cop discrimination against minorities – is aimed at enhancing “data transparency and analysis” among police departments around the nation.

In White House jargon, according to a May 2015 “Launching the Police Data Initiative” press release: “Through the initiative, key stakeholders are establishing a community of practice that will allow for knowledge sharing, community-sourced problem solving and the establishment of documented best practices that can serve as examples for police departments nationwide.”

The ultimate goal?

“Increased trust and impact,” the White House reported.

The initiative in 2015 kicked off in Camden, New Jersey, a “predominantly black city” that’s “one of America’s most violent and also among its poorest,” NewsOne reported. Then, 20 other communities joined on to the program as well, which included training from federal authorities on how to gather and use data to “increase transparency, build community trust and support innovation,” the White House reported.

But it’s grown. Now, the number of participating police departments has jumped to 53.

And critics say it’s little more than a federalization of local police because it puts the White House at the helm of deciding such matters as cameras on cop uniforms and whether or not local jurisdictions accept equipment from the military.

Critics also say the data that’s being gathered at the local levels will lead to a massive federal database, overseen by federal authorities, who will then decide whether the individual police department is pursuing crime-fighting techniques in a manner that doesn’t discriminate against minorities.

As the New American put it back in March of 2015: “The plan … will use U.S. taxpayer dollars to deploy ‘experts’ and ‘researchers’ charged with training officers to act in a manner that the [Department of Justice] deems just – in essence doing the bidding of the Obama administration. Officially, the Justice Department will be helping local officials ‘fight crime’ under the scheme.”

And as the Blaze reported in August of 2015: “President Barack Obama’s administration has begun the second phase in federalizing the police.”

Attorney General Loretta Lynch underscored in October 2015 the need for the federal government to collect data from local police departments, in order to “improve the accuracy and consistency” of how cops conduct their business.

“The [DOJ’s] position and the administration’s position has consistently been that we need to have national, consistent data,” she said, in a statement on the Justice Department website. “This information is useful because it helps us see trends, it helps us promote accountability and transparency. We’re also going further in developing standards for publishing information about deaths in custody as well, because transparency and accountability are helped by this kind of national data.”

Obama Calls For Federalizing Nation’s Police Force After Dallas Shooting

Obama also used the press conference to insulate his federalized police program — and his allies in the Black Live Matter movement — from popular rejection after the five police were murdered by the anti-cop African-American in Dallas.


by Geoffrey Grider July 9, 2016
President Barack Obama is harnessing the increasing attacks on police in Dallas — and the periodic shootings of people by stressed cops — to push his agenda to federalize state and local police forces.

“I want to start moving on constructive actions that are actually going to make a difference,” he said during his evening press conference in Poland when he was asked about the Dallas attack.

Those actions, he said, would be based on the recommendations of the panel that he picked after the 2014 street riots in Ferguson, Missouri. The panel offered “practical concrete solutions that can reduce — if not eliminate — the problems of racial bias,” Obama said.

The dramatic shootings are an opportunity to push that agenda, Obama said. “If my voice has been true and positive, my hope would be that… [the panel] surfaces problems, it frames them, it allows us to wrestle with these issue and try to come up with practical solutions,” he said.

Obama began touting the panel’s recommendations in March 2015. The report, titled “President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing Report,” was published in May 2015.

The report urges the federal government to federalize police training and practices, via the use of federal lawsuits, grants and threats to cut federal aid. So far, Obama’s deputies have cajoled and sued more than 30 police jurisdictions to adopt federal rules in a slow-motion creation of a national police system, similar to the slow-motion creation of a federal-run health-sector via Obamacare.

Obama also used the press conference to insulate his federalized police program — and his allies in the Black Live Matter movement — from popular rejection after the five police were murdered by the anti-cop African-American in Dallas.

“The danger is that we somehow think the act of a troubled person speaks to some larger political statement across the country — it doesn’t,” Obama insisted.

Obama shrugged off growing criticism that his own anti-cop statements helped trigger the shootings in Dallas and several other cities on Thursday and Friday. “It is very hard to untangle to motives of this [Dallas] shooter … you have a troubled mind … what feeds it, what sets it off, I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kids of incidents.”

("leave that" - 'I hate white people, especially white cops' to the psychologists." If the races had been reversed in this tragedy, there would be racism yelled repeatedly out of his mouth. Notice how muslim & black power connection is muted.

Another O program, means it will fail and it will cost the taxpayer much $$$)


Throughout his press conference, Obama tried to play the role of national healer. “As painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America is not as divided as some have suggested. Americans of all races and all backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police … that includes protestors, it includes family members who have grave concerns about police conduct, and they’ve said that this is unacceptable, there is no division there,” he said.

Obama Threatens Cops, Plans To Stand On Their Graves To Label Law Enforcement Racist

On Monday, the day before flying to Texas to demagogue at the funerals of Dallas cops slain by an anti-white racist, President Obama met with law enforcement leaders across the country. At that meeting, Obama threatened law enforcement with his usual Mafioso tactic: “nice police department you’ve got there, shame if something happened to it, good thing I’m around to protect you.” According to The Washington Post, Obama said that the attack on cops was a “hate crime” and then said, “I’m your best hope.”

Obama is a racial blackmailer: he’s an arsonist who ignites the flames, then tells the cops that only he can put out those flames.

his routine is nothing new from Obama; back in 2009, when he met with top financial CEOs and essentially ordered them to cut their own salaries, he stated, “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.” Then he continued, “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”


These tactics are despicable – and they must be condemned by anyone of decent heart and mind. President Obama called police officers across the country racist on Thursday morning, hours before cops were shot in Dallas; then he claimed he had no idea why the shootings had happened; now he says that they were hate crimes, but that only he can heal the country and advocate for the cops. This is scurrilous nastiness of the highest order.

And his grandstanding won’t end there. Obama plans to stand over the caskets of the officers and rip into cops. Here’s a statement he put out this morning via his White House:

I reject the idea that these issues are somehow too big for us -- that America is too divided to find common ground. As I've said, I know that we can honor the incredible courage and service of our police officers -- and also recognize the racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system. There's no contradiction there. And if we are going to come together to solve these problems, we have to understand that. So we'll have to talk to each other. We'll have to listen to each other. And we'll have to see each other as equal parts of the American family.

So in other words, the cops are still racist, just these dead cops aren’t – and the only reason the dead cops aren’t is because they’re dead. If they had lived, and we had waited a week, and they continued to arrest a “disproportionate” number of black people -- in other words, people responsible for crime regardless of their race -- they’d still be part of the problem.

Obama isn’t interested in fixing anything. He’s interested in setting fires. And the whole nation is burning.

Presidential blather in time of tragedy

Obama’s pontificating over race has only worsened relations



By R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. - - Tuesday, July 12, 2016
ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Race is what you make of it. For me I have made race a part of what social scientists once called the “melting pot,” by which they meant that differences of ethnicity and even of race were all melted down into one great variegated country called America. There might be different heritages and different subcultures mixed into the American melting pot, but once mixed together, we were all Americans.

Of course, however, through the years that American melting pot has been increasingly difficult to maintain, because various leaders — political leaders, education leaders, social leaders and simple charlatans — were energetically manufacturing ever more sociological differences to mix into the pot. They excogitated differences of gender, of generation, of sexual orientation, and, oh yes, of lifestyle. The differences were increasingly fanciful, but the liberals — for that is what the self-appointed leaders were — overburdened the melting pot.

Eventually, the pot ceased to exist even as an intellectual construct. Now we are divided into whatever we want to be: men, women, blacks, whites, youth, old geezers and transgendered — which can mean about anything. Possibly as time goes by, some Americans will claim to be “trans-specied.” Think what chaos that will bring to public comfort stations.

The benign melting pot has been destroyed. It is now every Americano for him/her/its self, preferably with an enormous sense of self-importance. Some educated observers would call this anarchy. The melting pot has been replaced by anarchy.

When Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic presidential candidate whom some 56 percent of the American people think the FBI should have recommended for indictment, said, “I’m going to be talking to white people. I think we are the ones who have to start listening,” she merely fanned the flames of racial identity in America. Admittedly, she did it in a most egregious way. No presidential candidate had so shamelessly appealed to race since George Wallace, the Alabama bigot who led anti-black mobs decades ago. But she was only continuing along the path to racial discord staked out and encouraged by President Obama.

Think of what he has achieved during his presidency. From the days of President Ronald Reagan right up to Mr. Obama’s election, racial discord had faded as a public matter. Americans were talking of a post-racial America when they elected him to the White House as America’s first black president. He had a majority of Americans behind him. Then it began: Mr. Obama’s subtle and not-so-subtle encouragement of racial championing. Actually it was not championing of all blacks, but championing of blacks who have repeated run-ins with the police. It was championing of the black underclass.

Generally speaking, blacks from the growing middle class do not have run-ins with the law, but the black underclass has repeated encounters. The two black men who died at the hands of police last week led lives of ceaseless conflict with law enforcement personnel. Alton Sterling in Louisiana had a rap sheet with an abundance of very serious felonies, including sex offenses and burglary. Philando Castile in Minnesota had only misdemeanors but in astounding numbers. He had been pulled over by police 31 times with 41 convictions.

It is a stark presidential legacy. The pious Mr. Obama leaves office with racial discord climbing from the negligible levels of George W. Bush and his immediate predecessors to levels not seen since the 1960s. How did Mr. Obama manage this? Well, by saying things like this: “When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same. And that hurts. And that should trouble all of us. This is not just a black issue. It’s not just a Hispanic issue. This is an American issue that we should all care about .” Blah, blah, blah. He said that after a gunman murdered and maimed something like a dozen police and civilians. These innocent people were attending a demonstration protesting the deaths in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Such pompous twaddle from Mr. Obama is typical. He is going to lead us, 315 million of us, in a gigantic transcontinental conversation on how to be good and just and fair. In the meantime, the rule of law is fraying, and ever larger numbers of people are dying. It is time for Mr. Obama to retire. Had he gone golfing after the carnage in Dallas it would have been no more damaging to law enforcement in America.
