I guess the originals were racist so now the negros have their own dumb and dumber

The president doesn’t feel he’s injected himself enough into the Ferguson fiasco- so he’s decided to act, again, this time issuing an executive order to reduce the “militarization of the police” which will exacerbate the controversy even further.

 

Which is exactly what community organizers do.

“This makes little sense. Whether the police have weapons that are too powerful and tactics that are too militaristic had nothing to do with the original shooting involving Officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown. It had more to do with the public images that came out of the protests after the shooting. This seems like a classic political move from this White House: address the public appearance of the problem, but not the problem itself.

The fruitless symbolism of the executive order is all the more telling given our constitutional order. Whether the police are using weapons that are too powerful or not, or tactics that are too aggressive or not, is not a matter for the federal government, especially the executive branch. Our Constitution reserves criminal law and enforcement to the states. There is some federal restraint through the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clauses, which regulate the use of force, and the federal government procures and apparently transfers military equipment to the states under existing programs. But if the police are not using unreasonable force in their treatment of suspects, the type of weapons should be up to local and state authorities.”
Exactly.
This president is high on symbolism, looking busy- as the article states, addressing the public appearance of the problem- while actively avoiding the difficult work of leadership and problem solving. Or in this case, simply staying silent and out of the way.

This order will only complicate the ‘rules of engagement,’ limiting “the weapons that [police] need to match criminals who have access to high-powered weapons.” When police preparation doesn’t match the criminals they face, it becomes a more “difficult job where they must make split-second decisions about life and death,” which will not “help reduce violent crime in our inner cities.”

Police already have a dangerous and thankless job.  This executive action simply adds to that.
