Why does the President mistrust cops?
President Obama yesterday was asked if he agreed with visiting Mexican President Calderon that the Arizona immigration law, in Calderon’s words, “…is forcing our people to face discrimination.” The President replied with yet another public slam against Arizona law enforcement, saying the law, “…has the potential of being applied in a discriminatory fashion.”
Excuse me, but doesn’t every law have that same potential?
Mr. Obama then went on to say that “a fair reading” (well there’s a good start!) of the controversial law (controversial only to far left liberals and the illegals themselves – %70 of the public agrees with it) ostensibly increases the chances of “harassment” and that the judgments made by cops in the field could be “troublesome”.
Troublesome? Really?
I wonder where this disdain and mistrust for law enforcement stems from in our President. Was he pulled over and “harassed” by some racist cop in Hawaii or Chicago or wherever? I doubt it. Because if he had, we would already know about it. No way would a political opportunist like Barack Obama let something like being hassled by the man lie dormant in a political campaign, which for him really hasn’t stopped since it started in 2007. That kind of juicy red meat is just the ticket for the liberal press and far left fringers to devour and regurgitate ad nauseum. It would have become part of his repertoire at every function, in every debate and on every commercial, be woven in to the fabric of his compelling back story and spoken with stern earnestness in the audio version of his book. So where does it come from, this propensity to blame the cops first as he did in the arrest of Harvard law professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. back in July 2009 where the President called the actions of the police “stupid” or to automatically assume that Arizona cops would be apt to make “troublesome” judgments in matters concerning race?
Personally, I think he is pandering to his constituency. I think that he wants to be Robin Hood, stealing from the dastardly rich with the long arm of the IRS and then supposedly spreading the wealth to those less fortunate, except the less fortunate really don’t get anything for their vote. They get promises and flowery rhetoric, but they still have no jobs, are still losing their homes and are still standing in welfare lines to sign up for more. The tax money? Oh, don’t worry about the money, the money’s fine, the money is going to help the needy, as long as what you need are iPads and Xboxes.
So what do you say to the President when he deliberately slams cops for no other reason than the sake of the vote of the downtrodden?
There is a remedy built into our legal system for discriminatory practices by law enforcement; they call it an appeal. That means if you feel like you’ve been arrested and jailed based on anything other than the evidence against you can appeal the verdict to a higher court. And then, if you’re still not satisfied, you can keep appealing all the way to the Supreme Court (which is looking more and more like your best shot.) If you finally get your version of justice enforced and have the findings reversed and are still miffed, you and your lawyer can sue the police department, the city, the county the state and or the individual police officer or officers who treated you so badly in the first place.
It’s called the rule of law. That’s the code we live by as American citizens and we have mechanisms in place to enforce the laws agreed upon by our elected officials. Then again, if the laws that are already in place concerning immigration had been enforced sometime in the last two decades, the State of Arizona wouldn’t have had to adopt their own version of the Federal law in order for their citizens to sleep peacefully at night.
So how about this Mr. Obama; let the Arizona cops do their jobs and you start doing yours? Ok? Because let’s face it, if the Federal Government had been doing their jobs all along, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.
