Chris Christie Blames Obama For Scared Cops

“Lives are saved when those potential killers are confronted by a police officer, a strong police presence and actual, honest-to-goodness, up-close “What are you guys doing on this corner at 1 o’clock in the morning” policing”, Mr. Comey told an audience at the University of Chicago Law School.

Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey said the rise of violent crime in certain cities was due to less aggressive policing, which he argued was a result of heightened scrutiny of police officers over the a year ago after a series of deaths of black men.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation director – the president’s appointed Federal Bureau of Investigation director – has said this week that because of a lack of support from politicians like the president of the United States that police officers are afraid to get out of their cars, that they’re afraid to enforce the law.

Mr. Comey said he has heard anecdotal evidence that officers are being told by superiors that their political leaders have “no tolerance for a viral video”, and that as a outcome, officers are reluctant to get out of their cars and question suspicious people.

The White House swiftly rebuffed these claims. “A theory of government which tells citizens to invest agents of the state with the power to mete out lethal violence, but discourages them from holding those officers accountable is not democracy”, he writes. “The issue is the use of force when it’s not needed, the violation of civil rights and the general dehumanization of people who live in high crime areas, usually African Americans”.

In a desperate move to garner points at the third Republican presidential debate in Boulder, Colorado, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie blamed President Barack Obama for “failing to support police officers”.

“We do have to stick with the facts”, the president said. And when the President of the United States goes out to speak about this, does he support police officers?

Appearing before the worldwide Association of Chiefs of Police on Monday, Obama echoed Earnest, saying that law enforcement officials are too often “scapegoated” for the broader problems of society and the criminal justice system. He added that violent crime rates this year appeared to be almost as low as last year. “I don’t frankly think police are laying down on the job”. “That’s part of wearing the badge”, he continued.
