“New York’s finest lost one of its own today, Brian Moore,” Obama says. Police “deserve our gratitude and our prayers, not just today…

— Tom McCarthy (@TeeMcSee) May 4, 2015

Obama: NY lost one if it’s finest in Brian Moore. Says police deserve appreciation. “They’ve got a tough job."

Obama: Deeper than policing, must make sure equality of opportunity are not just empty words.

— Fred Lucas (@FredLucasWH) May 4, 2015

Obama: If we think it’s OK for police to contain rather than encourage them, it’s not surprising we’re going to lose a lot of them.

— Fred Lucas (@FredLucasWH) May 4, 2015

Obama: We’ve got not just decades but centuries of trauma to overcome.

Citing stats for police stops, arrests, charges and incarcerations, Pres Obama says "the law is not always applied evenly in this country."

Obama: Police should 'encourage, not contain' young, underprivileged, fatherless blacks. #notpolicejob

Upon hearing of the death of one of New York's finest, time for Pres Obama to stop transforming police and transform the young Black male.
