Okay, let's play six degrees of Kevin Bacon. If you're going to use that logic, then let's also agree that Barack Obama's divisive rhetoric caused the killing of police officers for starters. Here's the sequence:
Anti-Cop Instance #1:
Obama villainizing Cambridge Police as "Acting Stupidly" on the base of race.
Shortly after his election, black Harvard professor Louis Gates — a friend of Obama's — couldn't open his front door upon returning home from a trip. Gates asked his driver for assistance. A neighbor, observing two people trying to force open Gates' front door, called 911. The Cambridge, Massachusetts, cops responded, and requested that Gates, now inside the house, step outside and prove he lived there. Rather than cooperate, Gates made flippant comments to the cops, escalating the matter. Obama later said, "The Cambridge police acted stupidly." No, they hadn't.
Anti-Cop Instance #2:
Before any investigation at Ferguson was complete, Obama condemned police as "systematically racist", promoting the "Hands up Don't Shoot" narrative, which was by grand jury proven to be a lie, at the United Nations.
Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, was killed by a police officer. A friend and witness claimed that Brown held his hands up and pleaded with the cop, "Don't shoot." A grand jury later found the assertion a lie and completely exonerated the officer. But before the investigation was complete, Obama invoked Ferguson during a United Nations address as an example of the systemic racism blacks allegedly face in our criminal justice system, even though the narrative was proven to be a lie.
Anti-Cop Instance #3:
Obama's AG denounces the entire criminal justice system as racist despite proof that race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that due to "pernicious" racism, the "criminal justice system ... treats groups of people differently and punishes them unequally." But the U.S. Sentencing Commission concluded that the longer sentences result from "legitimate factors." The typical black defendant has a longer criminal record than does a white defendant, and during sentencing, judges often consider defendants' criminal records.
Anti-Cop Instance #4:
Obama blames specific tragic shootings as broad racism by police.
President Obama, commenting on the 2016 police shootings of unarmed blacks, said: "These are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system." But recent studies, including one done by a black Harvard economist, show the opposite. Cops, the studies found, are more hesitant to use deadly force on a black suspect than a white one.
So over and over, we have Obama and his henchmen villainizing and condemning police officers as horrible things.
"Rallying up the base".. right?
RESULT:
In 2014, two NYPD officers were killed — literally executed — while sitting in their squad cars.
In 2016, five Dallas cops and three Baton Rouge, Louisiana, cops were also killed. All three suspects in these cop killings were black men, motivated, according to their own social media postings, by Black Lives Matter's claim of anti-black systemic racism in the criminal justice system.
Uh oh.
Obama actively slandered all police institutions, and thus officers, as racist against blacks. Then, black people who made their black lives matter political intentions clear, murdered police officers.
Will you connect the dots there? Or, is that suddenly "coincidence"? Or "lone wolves"?
