Obama Condemns 'Criminal' Ferguson Violence
"There are productive ways of responding... and there are destructive ways of responding... those are criminal acts. People should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts."
Obama Condemns 'Vicious, Calculated and Despicable' Dallas Shootings
“We are horrified over these events and we stand united with the people and the police department in Dallas,” he continued. The U.S. police have “an extraordinarily difficult job,” ge said, and “today is a wrenching reminder of the sacrifices they make for us.”
Obama: 'Nothing justifies violence against law enforcement'
"President Obama said the fatal shootings of three Louisiana police were "the work of cowards who speak for no one," telling reporters late Sunday afternoon, "Nothing justifies violence against law enforcement.” He added, "My fellow Americans, only we can prove, through words and through deeds, that we will not be divided, and we’re going to have to keep doing it again and again and again. That’s how this country gets united. That’s how we bring people of good will together." In the statement, Obama condemned the attacks "in the strongest sense of the word. These are attacks on public servants, on the rule of law, and on civilized society, and they have to stop," Obama said."
Obama condemns violence at Trump rally
"We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff [at] Trump supporters. That's not what our democracy is about," Obama said. "That's not what you do. There's no room for violence. There's no place for shouting. There's no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side — even if you vehemently disagree. Because I believe if you've got the better argument, then you don't need to do that. Just go out there and organize and persuade."
Black Lives Matter condemns Dallas, pushes forward with protests
'"Black activists have raised the call for an end to violence, not an escalation of it. Yesterday's attack was the result of the actions of a lone gunman. To assign the actions of one person to an entire movement is dangerous and irresponsible. We continue our efforts to bring about a better world for all of us," BLM wrote.'
‘Shooting police is not a civil rights tactic’: Activists condemn killing of officers
“There are more questions right now than answers,” Mckesson said of the shooting in Baton Rouge. “The movement began as a response to violence, it was a call to end violence, and that call to end violence was true two years ago, was true 10 days ago, and is true today. Our call has been a call for justice, a living breathing justice,” he said. “A just world is a world where people don’t experience the trauma in the first place.”
“We all denounce the killing of police officers,” Al Sharpton said. “We don’t want to see this movement, which began with the killing of Eric Garner, smeared as an anti-police movement. We certainly don’t condone violence.”
Black Lives Matter Leader Condemns Violence at St. Paul Protest
Rashad Turner, who leads Black Lives Matter in St. Paul, tells TIME that he blames much of the violence on people who he says weren’t from the area.
“There were people outside of the community I didn’t recognize,” he says. “They were doing stupid stuff, and it’s something we don’t tolerate.”
Pelosi condemns ‘violent actions’ of antifa protesters
“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in a statement released late Tuesday. “The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”
Bernie Sanders Condemns Threats Against Ann Coulter Speech At Berkeley
“To me, it’s a sign of intellectual weakness,” he said. “If you can’t ask Ann Coulter in a polite way questions which expose the weakness of her arguments, if all you can do is boo, or shut her down, or prevent her from coming, what does that tell the world?”
“What are you afraid of ― her ideas? Ask her the hard questions,” he concluded. “Confront her intellectually. Booing people down, or intimidating people, or shutting down events, I don’t think that that works in any way.”
Clinton condemns attacks on Trump supporters
“I condemn all violence in our political arena,” Clinton told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview broadcast Friday. “I condemned it when Donald Trump was inciting it and congratulating people who were engaging in it. I condemn it by those who are taking violent protests to physical assault against Donald Trump.”
Clinton said the violence has to end but accused the real estate mogul of setting “a very bad example.” Trump has called his rallies “lovefests,” though he has also encouraged his supporters to “knock the crap out of” anyone they see carrying tomatoes and offered to pay the legal fees of supporters who are charged with violence at his rallies.

Hey I like your avatar...as a looks like my NFL team's emblem in Husker Red!
Regarding this being an anomaly, I do think Trump is losing some white support and gaining some black support. We'll see how this appears in 2020 I guess.

I am talking about the protest videos I posted which were BEFORE the officers were ambushed. There was a time his voice was needed to deescalate the growing anti-cop rhetoric coming out of BLM protesters before someone got killed. I do commend him for speaking about it strongly in the aftermath of the Dallas ambush.

You're an unlucky Cowboys fan too, huh? :cheers
Trump's support among whites is waning, and his support from blacks apparently isn't growing like you think. This can be backed up by other polls. But like we learned, polls are far from the end all be all. My question to you would be: If Trump were to win the Electoral College but lose the popular vote by almost 15 million (very unlikely but possible...) in 2020, would you and other supporters feel confident that your agenda is the will of "America"? If so, why?
I'm genuinely curious. You have a thread about the direction of America. I'm trying to find some common ground where we could agree that a Trump "re-election" would be good versus another Republican that would sign bills from a Republican Legislative Branch without the constant headaches, defending, and eye-rolls...

I do not agree with some who argue about the popular vote vs electoral college. It would be like the Huskers losing a game by 15 points but saying they outgained the opponent in yardage and therefore performed better and are the better team. If we moved to a popular vote for the Presidency, that would have changed the approach from both campaigns, and Democrats would want to improve their votes in red states and Republicans would want to improve their margin in blue states. Given many of the larger states tend to be deep blue, Republican voters in those states may feel their vote does not matter and therefore will stay home, costing a Republican President significant votes. You can argue Hillary could have gotten more in states like Utah or elsewhere that are deep red, but the volume of votes in those states is not as large as say California or New York.
Why would Trump's re-election be good? Its pretty simple...the country is showing signs of improvement everywhere. This included GDP, unemployment, consumer and business optimism, the stock market, terrorism and relations with North Korea. I get that there is a large portion of the country that can't stand Trump, but this existed with Obama too...I just don't think the right is as loud and in your face as the Left tends to be. I frankly love that Trump fights for America everywhere he goes and is not scared to put our interests first. He has done this in multiple venues where he spoke in front of groups of other world leaders.
Clinton and the liberals were aghast when Trump suggested that he might not accept an unfavorable election result. They were horrified that he could be opposed to everythung America stands for. They lost their damn minds.
But then as soon as Trump won, they did (snd continue to) deny that the results were legitimate. They blame the Russians. They blame white people. They blame women. They blame everyone else. And they’re so filled with impotent rage, they want to abolosh the Electoral College.
Politics with the Dems is a little like playing Monopoly with a 6 year old. If they don’t like the result, they will just flip over the board.

If that's not enough, the other video from Hannity's clip is from a protest march in St. Paul. Per news reports I found, that march started and ended completely peacefully, with no injuries or arrests. Additionally, Rashad Turner, organizer of Black Lives St. Paul, reminded protesters to remain peaceful. "Our opponents will claim victory if they push someone over the line. I don't know about you, but let's not give them the satisfaction."

Speaking of petulant children why does every far right winger like you post in the same attack /blitz format on every post .
Instead of posting things in a sane , civil , well thought out manner yiu chose to go wild saying things like “there’s absolutely positively NO way anyone is right but me whatsoever AT all !!!! “ All of my views are 100% marvelous , supported by everyone on the planet without exception “ blah blah blah
Then go on to on to use cute words like triggered , whiners , crybabies , libs , crazy losing their minds etc in an attempt to run any opposition down and make your points seem more valid .
Lasty you blast away with the same buzzwords and post the same “points” 1000 times, at warp speed, hoping to wear your opponent out and get the “win”
Seems like a childish pointless way to “debate” to me .

How many liberals want the electoral college abolished? How many want to abolish the system of two Senators per state and redistribute them based on population? How many want to pack the Supreme Court woth more justices as soon as they recapture the White House and the Senate?
I’m reading column after column with liberals advocating changing the rules because they’re tired of losing. They’re freaking out left and right. If you haven’t seen that, then I suggest you become better informed.
A lot of liberals are acting like triggered whiny crybaby idiots who have completely lost their minds. Blaming me for simply pointing that out is the type of nonsense that make liberals liberals.

Ha ha aaaaaaannd you just did it again . :ahhhhhhhh :blink: I would love to see the EC gone so my vote would actually count instead of being overruled by other people who happen to live the same state as me . That’s it . Like most of my views it’s a sane , dry eyed , sound minded conclusion I’ve come to , that isn’t going to change, no matter what you point out .
