New Federally Mandated Training Coming Soon

[LawyerCop]

Here is a quote from our President regarding policing in America and the goals of his task force made up of police and community leaders. He adds he intends to put federal muscle behind this to make sure all department implement this training. Pretty clear he does not understand reasonable suspicion.

“Suddenly each cop, when they were about to make a traffic stop, they had to think, am I stopping this person because I should be stopping them or is some bias at work?” Obama said. “Just that kind of mindfulness about it ended up resulting in better data, better policing, more trust by the communities affected.”

Or am I stopping him for 73/45?

What bias? You don't like the color of the car? I'll challenge anyone to get behind a vehicle at an average distance & tell me the race of the driver. This is the fallacy of profiling in regards to traffic stops. At best you MIGHT be able to provide a VERY broad description of a person driving a particular type of vehicle but certainly not specific enough to pinpoint race. Obama & Holder actually need to do a ride-along (like THAT'S ever going to happen!) before making such asinine statements

That's what happens when "community leader/activists" become presidents.

This came from a video interview: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...d_of_time.html

Watch the whole thing.

Gee. When does the bias against cops by Obama end? He has YET to acknowledge that crime is at the root. Oh wait. That would show leadership...

Obama=Epic Fail

Or when a Muslim/communist/traitor becomes president.

he wants to put a female, former US Attorney with prior successful police officer convictions and a "focus" on corruption in as Holders replacement. Go figure.

I am sure police will be given more tools and more support to make America safe. (not)

In order to be deemed a "traitor", don't you have to be loyal to the entity st some point first?

She's not a former anything. She's the current U.S. Attorney of New York's Eastern District.

[CCCSD]

That says it ALL...

But then, with some of the DOJ settlements out there, you won't know how to subtract.....

[Paveld]

It is incredible how politicians that have zero experience in LE know what is best for LE.

[So Fla Cop]

This is really simple.....just don't stop black cars.

Doesn't he know that "cop" is a disrespectful term. We are Police officers. When I was a rookie I worked with an old timer who would correct anyone that referred to him as a cop. But hey let a guy who wont even address us by our proper title lecture us about respect.
