Among the legacy of the Obama Administration, along with a weakened and disrespected nation overseas, will be a nation afflicted with severe racial divisions here at home.Racial division and unrest encouraged and fed by Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama inner circle, as well as the race hustlers and frauds like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Since August when Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed in self-defense black teenager Michael Brown, and the most recent tragic accidental death during the arrest of Eric Garner in New York City, racial tensions in America have boiled over.Exacerbated by a White House that continues to inject itself into local events.

As a result of the obvious concerted effort orchestrated by the Obama Administration to undo Republican gains in the recent elections through the use of civil unrest, law enforcement in America has come under a withering attack.

In Missouri Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, Chief of Police Tom Jackson, and the County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch have had ‘bounties’ placed on their heads.Two members of the New Black Panthers were recently arrested conspiring to use pipe bombs to kill both Jackson and McCulloch.Reports from around the country seem to indicate that this is no longer isolated to Ferguson.

In fact, it seems that police agencies across the country are being warned to take extra precautions out of concern that radicals and activists are intent on exacting revenge for perceived grievances against law enforcement, when the facts and statistics tell a very different story.

While the attacks and murders of police officers in the line of duty around the U.S. continues unabated, a large percentage perpetrated by the minority community, the reality is that police officer’s using deadly force seldom happens in relation to the millions of police-citizen encounters annually.Better recruiting, technology and training have helped law enforcement reduce the level of deadly force situations.

Historically one of the most successful ways to “fundamentally transform” a nation is to undermine the legal authorities and sow dissention and civil unrest. Lessons the Obama Administration has seemed to learn well from their apparent inspiration, Saul Alinsky.

Police Officers across the country are beginning to hesitate taking aggressive action against crime for fear of being placed in a use of force or deadly force situation.Will actions they take in a split second end up being ‘second-guessed’ by an administration with a racial and social agenda, caring little about the rule of law and even less about a police officer and his family’s well-being ?It certainly appears that way.

Using allies in the SEIU and other leftists organizations, as well as some useful idiots who miss or missed out on the ‘Sixties’, and are trying to claim for themselves a bit of nostalgia, the Obama Administration has ginned up civil unrest around the country to help the administration remain relevant for the next two years.It’s apparent that the remainder of Obama’s term in office will be dedicated to continuing efforts to undermine American institutions, and complete the “fundamental transformation” of the United State of America.

Among the institutions they intend to undermine as part of this effort is law enforcement, by encouraging and creating a cavernous division between the police and citizens.The once respected ‘Thin Blue Line’ of police professionals stands in the way of achieving the social changes desired by the Obama Administration and their leftist allies.

Creating suspicion between citizens and those who serve them in law enforcement reduces police effectiveness, and will allow for vast and sweeping changes in how laws are enforced in this country.

And in how the U.S. Constitution is protected, preserved, and defended.A document Barack Obama has said on previous occasions stands in the way of him doing what he wants.
