Edit: He's talking about Iraq first though.

Second Edit: He looks sooooo old.

I am not saying I am sure it happened. I am explaining what the charge was, and how it works in this particular instance. For all we know, a general manager may have called the police and asked them to come kick out the reporters. I don't know if that happened. If it did, they were trespassing, and the asking for identification was pretextual, but valid.

If you're so unsure then you can stop making such ridiculous assertions.

Put on a tie Obama.

whitehouse.gov streams are always at 60 FPS. It's great.

 

[Foffy]

Wow, did that CBS News feed actually go down after a pastor said for the police to step down? I doubt that was on purpose but..

 

[BronsonLee]

I know he is doing it for political reasons, but damn it I will take it. 50 people? They might just clear everybody out and start new.

Thanks to that hubub about the amount of black police officers in Ferguson, I can tell you it is a whopping 53 people.

And they really do all need to go at this rate. Even taking orders. But that chief's career has to be over. I've never seen someone handle a situation like this so badly. Dude looked shellshocked.

 

[DrForester]

I want Obama to segue to Ferguson by saying "And on the subject of police states..."

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Starting off with ISIS? are you fucking kidding me Obama

 

[SmokyDave]

Fine, you want me to discuss the ways the police messed up too?

A police officer is required by law to identify their name and badge number when requested by a person. If they refuse to do so, a person may believe they are being unlawfully detained and may utilize non-deadly force to resist arrest. If the person is injured during the altercation, they may bring a torts action under the waiver of immunity laws of the particular jurisdiction. In the case of Missouri's Code, they recognize the waiver of sovereign immunity in instances like this. Therefore, the reporters have a valid claim for false imprisonment and assault. Happy?

Yeah, that wouldn't end with a corpse, honest.

 

[FreedomFighter]

"Protecting our people in Iraq" i.e. protecting Chevron and Exxon Mobil. Then protecting Yazidis. Be honest Obama.

 

[jett]

Really now.

 

[Burt]

So the morale of this story is "let fear dictate your ethos and decisions in life"?

Cool story bro.

No, really, how did you get that out of what I said?

 

[Portugeezer]

whitehouse.gov streams are always at 60 FPS. It's great.

It's an important use of bandwidth, you have to watch the president at the optimum framerate.

 

[njean777]

Both situations are pretty important to be honest. We can be informed about both.

 

[Malyse]

President is talking about Ferguson and Iraq right now. Currently talking about Iraq.

 

[BronsonLee]

Starting off with ISIS? are you fucking kidding me Obama

That situation is also very important.

 

[Kurdel]

Starting off with ISIS? are you fucking kidding me Obama

I mean, he is the POTUS, he has a lot of shit to deal with.

 

[helloresolven]

Starting off with ISIS? are you fucking kidding me Obama

Yes, a couple thousand people potentially on the edge of genocide is also important...

 

[everyday math]

Starting off with ISIS? are you fucking kidding me Obama

Both are important. He'll get to it.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Maybe Obama will use military talk to segue into Ferguson. "Speaking of our military, you may have seen them operating in Ferguson."

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

@Tom_Winter
St. Louis County Police tells NBC News they are under "some sort of cyber-attack" and that their e-mail has been down since last evening.

[TheChocolateWar]

Yeah, that wouldn't end with a corpse, honest.

If it does end with a corpse, you sue the heck out of that officer and the force for wrongful death.

 

[The Adder]

Off my ban just in time to restate how fucking shit everything continues to be.

CNN did an update on those the military took on a helicopter off the mountain...they're in a small building with no food/water. Yeah, they're not dead but they're really not living Obummer. Oh yeah...that's not Ferguson releated...wrong topic...uh...as someone else said...Iraq > America.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Question answered.

Obama can never win, geez.

 

[demosthenes]

Couple thousand? Isn't it tens of thousands?

I'm curious. Has this been tested in MO yet?

Spinning the facts since Mr. Hearst

 

[asthmagasm]

Was this presser planned in advance and they added the topic of Ferguson to it at the last minute?

I saw the announcement of joint addressing a few after announcing he was going to speak. Not sure if this was pre-planned or not, but it was made known he would address both.

 

[Trojita]

Obama's talking about it now.

 

[FreedomFighter]

We need humanitarian airdrops in Ferguson. So bring them whatever the Yazidis don't use, Obama.

Here we go.

That one might be a bit harder. When is re-election?

Is every stream of the statement awful? Christ I can't watch it anywhere

 

[jamesinclair]

Welcome to trespass law. The only element for criminal trespass is if you are exceeding the scope of the license and it is communicated to you at the place of business. Just because you can go into a McDonalds to buy some nuggets does NOT mean you are legally allowed to operate a business out of it.



Its not the police's call, its McDonalds call, as to whether it is trespass.

Please stop trolling.

I know you're trolling because you clearly watched the video a read the report right?

If you didn't you wouldn't comment on the matter, obviously.

No word on police antics thus far. What a weak ass statement thus far.
