1) it insults the local authorities without offering help

4) it fires up public who want this to happen in their town because they are unhappy with their own crime statistics
5) it sets precedent for other cities that have worse problems to expect the same treatment.
NONE OF THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN. He should have picked up the phone and talked with Emmanuel and hashed out a plan to solve this behind the scenes. But he is incapable of this because HE NEEDS THE ADULATION. He cannot let the credit or the spotlight go to anyone else. THIS IS HIGHLY DISTURBING in a person who holds so much power. Quadafi, anyone? Hitler? Pol Pot? Where the hell is he steering the country?

Funny. i remember hurricane katrina and a governor and mayor that were both quite happy to let people die and keep the feds out until it was far too late. God forbid a few locals and a couple corrupt and thoroughly inept leaders get "insulted" as we mount an effort to save many 1000s of lives.
Better to just let people die, day in and day out.
Merica!
That jerkoff that was in the White House showed more concern for Treyvon Martin or Clarence Brown than he did for the TEN THOUSAND+ who were shot and/or murdered in his own HOME TOWN during his 2 terms. He did 1,000,000X more for Iran who would happily see us all dead than he has for stopping the endless murders in his own home town of Chicago..
Maybe someone should finally care?
Maybe someone should put their fucking foot down and stop it?
This shit has been going on for a very long time.... lets stop pretending the leadership there isn't 100% incompentent to do anything about it.
Ahhhh... shit. I keep forgetting... Black Lives don't actually matter.
Its fucking funny that you have a guy in the White House that has been talking about this more than the President did in 8 years and talking about stopping it... and when he starts to take action, he's Pol Pot or Hitler??? What a joke. Maybe it should it needs to be your child taking a bullet in the head while asleep in her crib? Your mom while walking down the sidewalk? Why not? You're totally ok with it happening to 1000s of others.... You're happy to take issue with the guy who would stop it after the local government has done jack fucking shit in decades.
Someone needs to walk through these neighborhoods and summarily execute every fucking known gang banger there is. But no, you'll bitch about that... as more and more kids die each day, most of them by accident caught in the cross fire. Countless 1000s murdered. 10's of 1000s shot in the last two decades. What is your plan besides attacking plans?
