Briefed on Cop Shooting, Guess What Obama Did?
Briefed on the shooting deaths of two New York cops, Obama went . . . golfing:
President Obama, on his first day of vacation in Hawaii, was out on the golf course Saturday. A White House official said, “The president has been briefed on the Brooklyn police shooting. White House officials continue to monitor the situation.”
He’s nothing if not consistent.
If I were a NYC cop I’d call in sick anytime Preezy Mean Girl flew into town for a Goldman Sachs fundraiser.

Joe Miller (ff9b6f) — 12/21/2014 @ 3:26 pmHe is a hole-in-one.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 12/21/2014 @ 3:31 pmThe perp was black, and the officers killed were Hispanic and Asian.
Nothing to see her, folks. Please, move along.
The unsurprised Dana (1b79fa) — 12/21/2014 @ 3:46 pmHe does less damage there.

redc1c4 (cf3b04) — 12/21/2014 @ 4:00 pmSo what? The narrative demands they be white. So they are deemed white.
See “white hispanic” George Zimmerman for further clarification.

With names like Raphael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, that might be difficult to pull off.
The multicultural Dana (1b79fa) — 12/21/2014 @ 4:14 pmAsians are treated as if they are white when it comes to college admissions, so why wouldn’t they be white for this as well?
redc1c4 (589173) — 12/21/2014 @ 4:17 pmDon’t underestimate the flexibility of the “fake but accurate” crowd, Dana.

If only! Asian applicants are discriminated against more than whites, because colleges know that, on a strictly merit-based admissions policy, the student body would be majority Asian, with Jewish whites the next largest group.

Why do you keep coming onto threads and saying merely “Hello”? Can you please explain?
Patterico (9c670f) — 12/21/2014 @ 4:49 pmc’mon he’s on vacation
he gets to play right up til vajajay jarrett decides how best they can exploit the dead cops
happyfeet (831175) — 12/21/2014 @ 5:12 pmPatterico, that is a technique some people have been known to use to test out a site’s anti-spam settings so they can spam with “buy me drinky” junk.
John Hitchcock (30b237) — 12/21/2014 @ 5:20 pmMr. feets @15, leave my Preezy alone!
So he can eat his waffle and figure out how to let the Iranians get nukes.
Pass the blueberry syrup.

redc1c4 (4db2c8) — 12/21/2014 @ 5:31 pmI get it. He is responding to Dana saying hello.
Kinda weird, if you ask me. He’s done it maybe 8 times in the past couple of weeks.
Patterico (9c670f) — 12/21/2014 @ 5:32 pm“because he must be going?”

Denver Todd is a genius threadjacker! The best there is; did it with one word.
felipe (40f0f0) — 12/21/2014 @ 6:04 pmI cannot imagine Obama monitoring a situation that did not directly affect him.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 12/21/2014 @ 6:05 pmYou mean how like the other day I went to Target and mistook him for the concierge, and asked him to wash my car, press my suit, and pick me up two tickets to a Mavs game?
And I didn’t ask nice, neither.

Commenter: “How many corrupt cops have you prosecuted, Pat?”
Patterico: “Not my department.”
someotherguy (0705d7) — 12/21/2014 @ 6:46 pmIt’s not, someguy. There are different units in my office. Mine is prosecuting gang murderers. If I ran across a corrupt cop, which I have not, I would refer the situation to the appropriate unit in my office, but I would not be the one to prosecute them. Because, again, that is not my unit.
Any questions?

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 12/21/2014 @ 7:07 pmI think he’s one of Radley’s loonier fringe.
nk (dbc370) — 12/21/2014 @ 7:16 pmThere is no truth to the rumor that when President Obama was informed that someone had shot two in Bedford-Stuyvesant, he said, “Oh really? What’s par there?”
Chuck Bartowski (3e0e89) — 12/21/2014 @ 7:33 pmI think he’s one of Radley’s loonier fringe.
No, he’s on Insty as TomDPerkins. Here’s one where he suggests that true libertarans support killing cops.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 12/21/2014 @ 8:18 pmHello.

Let’s get this straight: you say goodbye, I say hello.
