I gather some people are faulting Obama for
not sounding fiery enough about Ferguson. It's true, his speech on the subject
was soporific, as perhaps
it was meant to be. It's true, the President is not urging people to storm any barricades.
But he's sending his Attorney General to
Ferguson!
He's got the FBI on the case as of right now!
Wake up!
Wake the hell up!
Do you have any idea how unusual, and, in my
opinion, utterly unprecedented it is for that kind of response to happen right quick
when it comes to police killings?
Do you know how many police killings (cum
murders) never garner that kind of attention?
(I can provide a list, if you like.)
Obama is doing just fine, re Ferguson.
His actions, and they are powerful, speak
louder than words.
