Amidst the chaos that has engulfed the Ferguson suburb of St. Louis following the unfortunate and senseless loss of life on August 9, President Obama finally decided to weigh in on the key issues surrounding this tragedy.   His focus, of course, the show and use of weaponry by the Ferguson police department.    In ordering a review of the federal programs that supply local police departments with excess military equipment, Mr. Obama said: “review to make sure that what they’re purchasing is stuff that they actually need, because there is a big difference between  our military and local law enforcement and we don’t want those lines blurred, which would be contrary to our traditions.”

A good point of course, but by  pointing the finger exclusively at the supposed shortcomings of the local police in Ferguson (and by sending AG Holder – he helped a lot),  few of which have ever faced such a situation, our “divide and conquer” leader fails to point out the unfettered role of looters from outside Missouri, the catalytic role played by the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton,  the absence of inner city job opportunities, lousy schools in poor neighborhoods,  or the breakdown of the family /absence of dads.  What about those American traditions ?     Just blame the cops, Mr. President.                  WHAT THE HECK !
