The Ben Shapiro Report:

July 8, 2016

Hillary Clinton is a criminal.
Last night, America came apart.

Shortly after President Obama spoke about the police shootings of black men Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, blaming systemic racism in America’s justice system, two suspects apparently opened fire on police at a Black Lives Matter rally in Dallas. They shot several of the officers point blank, and then apparently took position as snipers and shot more officers. One of the suspects told police he wanted to kill white people, and was angry over the Black Lives Matter movement. Even as the police protected protesters from the shooters, some protesters mocked police.

The people to blame for the shooting are the murderers, of course. And rhetoric that doesn’t call for violence can’t be blamed for violence.

But President Obama’s rhetoric should certainly be blamed for the destruction of common decency regarding America’s racial issues. We should all have certain principles in common:

1.Charges of murder require evidence;
2.Charges of racism require evidence;
3.Violence is wrong.

President Obama has dispensed with two of these three principles, and in doing so, has tacitly made excuses for jettisoning the third.

After the shootings, Obama blamed guns. Because of course he did. When cops shoot black suspects, Obama blames racism — without a shred of evidence. When suspects shoot white cops, claiming they wanted to kill white people, Obama blames guns.

This is disgusting.

Today, if you see a cop, shake his or her hand. Buy him or her lunch. Show the cops your appreciation. They’re the people who make our liberty possible. And no amount of propagandistic perversion from the president changes that.
