In 2014, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio ripped the NYPD after the death of Eric Garner, who was subjected to a submission hold by the police during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes and then died of a heart attack. De Blasio, if you remember, went on national TV and he said, quote, what parents have done for decades who have children of color, especially young men of color, is trained them to be very careful when they have an encounter with a police officer. He then said he told his own son who's black about the supposed racism of the police. A quote with Dante, very early on, we said, look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. Don't move suddenly. Don't reach for your cell phone because we knew sadly there's a greater chance it might be misinterpreted

if it was a young man of color. It's different for a white child. That's just the reality in this country.

That isn't actually the reality in this country, by the way. A New York Times piece today quotes

a study saying that black people are significantly less likely to be shot by cops than white people

in similar circumstances, 20% less likely, actually.

But those lies matter. Days after de Blasio made his statements, two NYPD officers,

Wenjin Liu and Raphael Ramos, were murdered in cold blood by black criminal Ismail Brinsley,

who pledged to put, quote, wings on pigs. When de Blasio attended the funeral for Ramos,

hundreds of officers openly turned their backs on him. De Blasio wasn the funeral for Ramos, hundreds of officers openly turned their

backs on him. De Blasio wasn't responsible for the officer's deaths, but he was certainly responsible

for slandering them before their murders. In Dallas, officers should do the same to Obama. Obama's

supposed to stop by tomorrow and give the eulogy for five officers who were murdered last week.

Obama's not responsible for the murder of

Dallas police officers. I wrote that last week, but like Bill de Blasio, he is absolutely responsible

for slandering them before they were murdered. Hours before the massacre, Obama said that cop shootings

in Louisiana and Minnesota, both of which were under investigation and about which Obama said

he knew nothing were quote not isolated

incidents they're symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice

system Obama then reeled off a list of stats designed to show systemic racism against black

people by cops ignoring of course higher rates of criminality in the black community he added

quote 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're not being treated the same, and that hurts. But that should trouble all of us. But there are a large number of cops who feel, rightly, that because of the color of their uniform, they aren't treated the same. The president doesn't wait for evidence before he says they're racist. He doesn't separate off the bad apples from the rest of the community.

He simply talks about institutional racism and provides no solutions, and then he postures for the cameras.
