Classic Obama, "in the days ahead" ... and then ... nothing, nada, not a peep. 

Well he'd only be president for six more months.  Obama made several executive actions on gun control, but with no support from the legislature there really isn't a lot for him to do, plus it was never a big goal of his anyway, though the Sandy Hook shooting clearly caused a change there.

I got my cop killings mixed up. 

This is what I could find from that speech - https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/baton-rouge-police-ambush/obama-attacks-police-are-attack-all-us-n611246

"The death of these three brave officers underscores the danger that police across the country confront every single day," Obama said. "We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society possible."

These do not appear to me to be the words of someone trying to make every issue about race.

This reminds me of an old Daily Show joke that makes me most squeamish.

well what was it i was a periodic viewer

As I said, words, and then nothing.  It was never a big goal I reckon.

Even in 2009-2010 when he basically had Congress on his side.  Not a big goal, says it all.  What were his big goals anyway?

They must have been really high priorities when one considers all the verbiage attached to gun control.

Health care reform,, which he was the most successful president on since Lyndon Johnson, I suppose.  Also economy recovery, which turned out pretty well too.

Yes.   Health care reform, passed unconstitutionally.  “ you will keep your doctor”
all I can do is laugh at the huge mess he created. 

I'd like to see some analysis of the thousand odd police killings of civilians in the US each year.  How many were white on black?  How many of those were very clearly legal, I mean, no doubt, the victim was shooting at cops, not just failing to comply, but actively shooting.  Then how many were black on black, or black on white.

Is it POSSIBLE that white cops killing black civilians under questionable circumstances is actually rare?  We'd all like that to be zero, magically, but cops make mistakes at times, which are not always racially motivated.  White cops kill white men as well, etc.

I could not find figures on this.

IF we see say 5 or 10 shootings a year which are questionable, would that not be an understandable result?  We'd like it to be zero, but that simply isn't practicable.  You can't get it to zero with any kind of actions by the cities.

Trump's a buffoon, but he's a buffoon who knows the difference between hurting "his" people and hurting the others.

I agree with this however,Biden was caught on camera lying thru teeth back in the '80's/90's.About his 5th place finish in law class when he was like 76th out of 85 or some such.Then he purloined a speech from a member of the British Parliament which was taped word for word.Seriously I'll be abstaining in November at least on POTUS vote
