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

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.

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

Wise words as always from Sheriff David Clarke:
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.
