Head of Fraternal Order of Police rips Obama for his remarks on Ferguson

Rick Moran
Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

..."I'm sure the president thought he was being even handed by blaming both protestors and cops for the violence. But you can't have law without order, and preventing people from looting and setting cars on fire usually necessitates strong arm tactics. And inevitably, non-violent people are going to be unfairly arrested simply because they're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"This is what happens in a riot. It is chaos. The president and many on the left criticizing the police seem to think that the cops can restore the peace in an orderly and logical manner, without resorting to physical violence. It is regrettable that things get out of control but that's what a riot is all about."

It would be nice if people would stay silent about Ferguson
 ...  "Let me say a couple of things about President Obama's statement:
       1) It was cautious and he did call for "healing." That's good.
       2) It was unnecessary and out of place for a president.  That's bad.
