Sorry I believe Obamas hope and change message about as much as I believe it's not butter. I voted for that asshole and he sold us out for his rich corporate buddies and the democratic establishment accomplishing basically nothing.

Interesting.
What are the rules for amending the city charter of Minneapolis? Could petitions get a line item on the ballet to form a citizen review board that would determine the outcome of any misconduct brought against a peace officer?
The members of this review board would be elected. So now you have oversite for future incidents based on members of the community.
I'm sure there are a crush of details I'm missing, but broad paint strokes? Would a petition do it, and maybe a crowdfund to hire a civil rights lawyer to write up the amendment?
I'm sure there are better ideas, if we come up with something good, maybe harness the moment for some change.

One can offer constructive advice like Obama, or just repeat "Reduce the temperature" multiple times like a god damn moron.

Yes, yes, it's the legal system's fault that black people commit such horrific crimes. Great thinking, Barry. Never mind cops kill more whites.

I have about 20 white leftists on my facebook that would love to tell Mr. Obama why is he wrong.

The best time to say something like this is when everyone is both focused on the problem and feeling war exhausted. Best chance of advice being actually taken.

I don't think it would have had the same impact if he said it before the chaos started.

They deserve our respect and support, not condemnation — something that police in cities like Camden and Flint have commendably understood.
If two of the most dangerous cities in America are your standards for good policing I don't know what to tell you... Sorry Obama.

Ok Oboomer. Would have been nice if he hadn't saved this sentiment until after he was out of power.

The neglect of state and local offices is deeply unfortunate. Not only do people disregard a domain that is hugely impactful on how they live, they often abdicate it to crazy people.
Part of the problem is that Federal politics is 'sexy' and local stuff isn't; part of it is also, I suspect the impact of a news media dominated by national news directs people's attention to the national level even though many of the policies that most affect their lives are written at the state or local level.

The decline of local print news probably also makes staying informed on local politics a lot harder

Obama was President for 8 years. He was president during the Ferguson Uprisings. He did nothing but provide hope and prayers and now people have to go into the street to fight for their right to live free from police violence. What an Obungle.

Why do they ALWAYS insist on keeping Michael Brown in these lists when it’s basically been confirmed that his shooting was 100% justified?

That's what drives me nuts about this shit. People only remember the outrage, and so easily forget that in the end, that shit was 100% justified. Years after the fact all the can think of is "They shot him with his hands up" somehow totally forgetting the outcome of the case.

That's like modern news media 101: report the incendiary hot take and talk about it nonstop on 24/7 cable news until the next crazy thing happens, and then the eventual retraction / reality-check comes on page D26 of the Buffalo Statesman-Advertiser on a Friday before a holiday weekend, right below the 2-paragraph story about how a local Wendy's is closing.

What’s justified about shooting an innocent man of peace who’s hands were in the air?

Why the hell is Obama posting stuff to medium? Literally any left of center publication on earth would publish anything he writes about an issue like this. Bizarre

Why not? Then he doesn’t have to pick a “liberal” newspaper and can truly speak from an unbiased platform

I don't know if i buy that. Any newspaper in the country would run his words unedited, and i don't think posting in medium will avoid charges of liberal bias.
