Unfortunately the cnn and msnbc coverage of the Republican convention thus far has displayed anything but journalistic integrity with the Republicans being slammed for divisive rhetoric, non inclusiveness, and other "shameful" behavior by anchors no less, usually citing one far from balanced source.
Fox changed their coverage drastically in favor of Romney in 2012 and watch the sham of cnn and msnbheehaw (not to mention Univision), it's easy to see why Murdoch did so.
It’s hard not to see his statement as blaming the police for their own deaths, and it’s hard not to condemn such a statement as among the most irresponsible and incendiary presidential utterances in our national history.
Absurd thought even for you to digest. So your position is there is absolutely no problem with policing in america today? Everything is just fine, it all works perfectly. I don't think so. Saying there is a problem with policing is nowhere close to saying police are to blame for the police shootings. Obama and the whole liberal left needs to stand up and hold everyone involved, including the black community, accountable for the problems. But it will never happen.
I liked Marion Magnet's book the dream and the nightmare even though he is a major drama queen and tends rewrite history to conform to his political views. But he is way off base on this one. He is also dead wrong on the sexual revolution. Welfare, specifically really badly written welfare rules, destroyed the black family along with a large number of poor white families. Illegitimacy is income based, the poor have a much higher rate. There are a lot more black women in poverty than white women. Blacks have a poverty rate 2.5 times higher than whites. Blacks have an illegitimacy rate 2.5 times higher than whites. What a surprise, the numbers match.
Indians and Eskimos have pretty much the same poverty rates and illegitimacy rates as blacks. Where is all the conservative outrage and msm reporting about the destruction of indian and eskimo families? Oh right I forgot, there isn't any not very subtle racist pandering to your political base advantage to be gained by screaming about eskimo welfare queens.

Policing is not a problem to the extent people think there is a problem. The greatest problem is accusing the police of racism every time a Black criminal dies.

This is what the cop detractors don't seem to understand. Virtually EVERY single criminal denies their guilt. Yes there are dirty cops and yes some departments have covered that up. The recent conviction of many LA Sheriffs Deputies and that arrogant asshole Paul Tanaka is more than proof of that.
But the current racial stuff is a bunch of bullshit. Social media insta outrage at Ferguson, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Grey perpetuated lies and myths that simply were not true. And the imbecilic prosecutions in the Freddie Grey matter....it's very hard to see how this isn't race pandering by the Obama Administration. These were local incidents not race related and the Feds never should have touched these cases. But they did, and subsequently national media picked up on them and refused to show a straight forward view of the facts.

This makes it harder for the police to do their job, resulting in our safety being compromised.
I'm very disappointed with Obama when it comes to this issue.
There is no way one can call police racists.
When police kill unarmed black men & children
at first contact, I think those should be called MURDERERS.

So it's OK if one of your loved ones is one of the decimal points?

Media sure did a good job rioting blacks to go kill cops. Somehow liberals aren't trying to take away media rights on doing that, but guns are another story.
It would be better if Obama didn't really hate white people like he does, it comes across in his body language every opportunity he gets to speak.

Do you suppose any innocent people killed by cops denied their guilt also?

How does it feel to be a bitter racist loser? Do you blame God because you are so fucking stupid, and broke, or does being a racist help you with that?
So your position is there is absolutely no problem with policing in america today?
Hey dickhead, take your tongue out of Obama's ass and wake up! How many law enforcement officers are there in the country? How many instances of cop issues are there annually? It measures out to three decimal places.
Since you don't know what a decimal place is I'm not sure how this matters.
Tongues in asses is your speciality not mine. I would never dream of infringing on one of your long standing traditional family activities. Hard to believe how stupid you actually are. Did you not read my comment or can you just not comprehend it?

There are a lot of problems with a lot of things. Consider the context of where he said this, 5 cops were murdered and he states
inaccurately, falsely, and callously: “There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these [Black Lives Matter] protesters. And if police organizations and departments acknowledge that there’s a problem and there’s an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions. And, as I said yesterday, that is what’s going to ultimately help make the job of being a cop a lot safer. It is in the interest of police officers that their communities trust them and that the kind of rancor and suspicion that exists right now is alleviated.â€
That is as blatant as it is going to get from a President. This is no time to disrespect people who gave their lives to public service. At the very least it demonstrates bad manners.
The fact is that you are a libby apologist, which skews you views.
One thing that is apt to controversy is that it is caused,. it is caused by a third party. BLM v Cops e.g. it is a mistake to look at the cause being between the two parties fighting. E.G. the problems in the Middle East caused by the Saudis. LBJ making up shit about the Gulf of Tonkin,. Bush making up shit about WMDs, etc etc etc.

As much as you hate antecedents Black unemployment, and presumably much minority unemployment, was equal to white unemployment until the government started meddling with Davis Bacon and Minimum Wage laws and the Great Society bullshit.
The reason Hispanics have lower unemployment is they are able to work cheaper. And they are not brainwashed that they are victims. Albeit they are largely subsidized by the state. The fact is though they are becoming more and more skilled.

You are who you hang with.
Cops hang with criminals every working day of their life.
What the hell else would you expect?
The real reality changer is that with today's modern communication channels, nothing gets missed, anywhere.
And this becomes a basin for the libbies to pour their tears of guilt into.
Way to go Mr. Grove!! You just fucked up the whole world!
Your are right, this is especially the case when that criminal is a cop. They know better than anyone how to do it. You could say they are trained to denie their guilt.
Any hopes that the nation’s first black president could uplift the nation’s black underclass went up in smoke Sunday when Barack Obama doubled down on his blaming of America’s police for the recent cop massacres that amount, as Heather Mac Donald rightly says, to a war on cops.
I argued two decades ago in The Dream and the Nightmare that changes in elite culture during the 1960s had a catastrophic effect on the most disadvantaged Americans in ghetto neighborhoods. That decade’s sexual revolution removed the stigma from out-of-wedlock pregnancy. An explosion of inner-city illegitimacy ensued, with between 70 and 90 percent of black children born to single mothers, depending on the city. The elite’s youthful interest in drug taking petered out, but in the ghetto, tolerance of drug taking resulted in a deadly crack cocaine epidemic. Elite culture’s wholly praiseworthy political push for black civil rights ended in a destructive turn, with intellectuals arguing that punishing black crime, as one bestseller’s title had it, was “blaming the victim.†In other words, centuries of slavery and Jim Crow, giving way to lingering racial discrimination, made young black men justifiably angry and rebellious, and their anger, along with the barriers the larger society placed between them and gainful employment, resulted in criminal behavior that was understandable and almost justifiable. So by the early 1990s, murders in New York, for example—mostly by young black men killing other blacks—were occurring on average every four hours, every day.
The same spirit of elite racial contrition made generous welfare payments, with virtually no questions asked, seem like appropriate reparations for the long mistreatment of African Americans. In this way, government ended up enabling the spread of out-of-wedlock childbearing, which the culture had legitimated. But those fatherless welfare families proved far from ideal for raising successful, law-abiding children. What came to be called the cycle of poverty—single parenthood, school dropout, drug use, crime, non-work, welfare dependency—went into overdrive.
This was a cultural problem, a problem of beliefs, worldview, values, and attitudes. Elite culture had defined the ghetto underclass as victims and validated self-destructive attitudes and behavior. Ultimately, that inner-city culture took on its own inventive life, with rap music dismissing women as mere sexual objects, glorifying drugs and the conspicuous consumption that drug dealing could finance, celebrating gangsta behavior, and rejecting all authority. The anthem for this impulse, so to speak, was N.W.A.’s 1988 track “Fuck tha Police.â€
It seemed to me that Obama had a unique opportunity to speak about values and virtues to this minority of African Americans—to tell them that his own life exemplified how in twenty-first century America you could get an education, work hard, get married, be an attentive husband and father, and maybe even become president of the United States. How disappointing that he chose the other tack, stoking grievance and resentment over supposed victimization by all authority, whether from teachers, cops, or potential employers. He and his attorneys general went sniffing out evidences of racism everywhere, and demonizing the police. Even after five officers were assassinated by an enraged black murderer in Dallas, he said, inaccurately, falsely, and callously: “There are legitimate issues that have been raised, and there’s data and evidence to back up the concerns that are being expressed by these [Black Lives Matter] protesters. And if police organizations and departments acknowledge that there’s a problem and there’s an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions. And, as I said yesterday, that is what’s going to ultimately help make the job of being a cop a lot safer. It is in the interest of police officers that their communities trust them and that the kind of rancor and suspicion that exists right now is alleviated.â€
So he is justifying—even fanning—the resentment that impelled psychopaths to murder two officers in New York, five in Dallas, and now three more in Baton Rouge. It’s hard not to see his statement as blaming the police for their own deaths, and it’s hard not to condemn such a statement as among the most irresponsible and incendiary presidential utterances in our national history.
