The '''Obama Riots''', sometimes referred to as the Obama '''War on Police''', were a series of racially -motivated conflagrations that erupted nationwide particulalry particularly in the last half of [[President Barack Obama]]'s second term. Initially elected as America's first "post-racial" president,<ref>https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18489466</ref> many African-Americans became increasingly disillusioned as Obama's presidency progressed.<ref>https://www.people-press.org/2014/12/08/sharp-racial-divisions-in-reactions-to-brown-garner-decisions/12-8-2014_08/</ref> Critics charged Obama personally inflamed the rioters and lawless elements responsible for the destruction of property, businesses, and jobs in several American cities.<ref>http://blog.blackbusiness.org/2014/08/black-businesses-in-ferguson-missouri-recovering-from-looting.html#.VWPqLzY4nTb</ref><ref>https://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2015/04/protests-baltimore</ref> The Obama administration either deliberately to further [[Marxist]] revolution or indirectly through subterfuge and naivete ''naïveté'' destroyed decades of improvement in race relations in the United States.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/05/politics/obama-race-relations-poll/index.html</ref><ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/complete-timeline-race-relations-under-obama-harry-khachatrian</ref>
Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen noted early on in the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', "Rather than being a unifier, Mr. Obama has divided America on the basis of race, class and partisanship." Mary Frances Berry, former head of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, acknowledged that the [[Obama administration]] attempted to polarize America around the issue of race as a way of diverting attention from an anemic recovery and other issues.<ref>"Having one's opponent [[race card|rebut charges of racism]] is far better than discussing [[Unemployment|joblessness]]." Berry, M.F. (2010, July 20). [https://www.politico.com/arena/perm/Mary_Frances_Berry_91E3D9D5-C40D-440C-9D48-1C50CBC60C87.html Energy Arena, Driving the Conversation: Contracting Out U.S. Security?

There were at least 5 Obama riots, Oscar Grant Riots, Trayvon Martin Violence, Manuel Diaz Violence, Kimini Gray Riots, and the Baltimore riots.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/08/11/5-race-riots-in-obamas-post-racial-america/</ref> Additionally, 5 five Dallas policemen and 3 three Baton Rouge policemen were murdered during Obama's open season on police.
==Obama: "stupid police"==
Shortly after Obama's display of disrespect for police in the legitimate performance of their duties, his poll numbers declined, particularly among groups who are the biggest victims of crime. The Pew Research Center noted "Some of the larger declines are among members of his own party."<ref>http://people-press.org/report/532/obamas-ratings-slide</ref>
By the end of President Obama's first year a majority (54%) of voters believed the nation was on the wrong track. Included among that 54% are nearly all Republicans (91%), a majority of Independents (61%) and one-in-five Democrats (18%). Only By January 2010, only 13% of Americans say said Obama has had done better than they expected, including just 27% of Democrats.<ref>See [http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1800 Zogby poll Jan. 20. 2010]</ref>
==Oscar Grant riots==
==Obama scapegoats an innocent Hispanic==
In March 2012 a [[white Hispanic]] shot and killed a 17 -year -old youth, Trayvon Martin, who violently assaulted him. A jury found Trayvon Martin's killer acted in self-defense.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/13/george-zimmerman-found-not-guilty/2514163/</ref> Wikipedia reports, "media coverage surrounding Martin's death was greater than that of the [[Presidential Election 2012|2012 presidential race]], which was underway at the time."
According to the victim, an altercation began when Trayvon Martin suddenly appeared from behind and said, "You got a f----- problem, homie? You got a problem now", knocked him down and pounded his head on a concrete sidewalk.<ref>http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:a_ooInCXchsJ:https://www.txantimedia.com/%3Fp%3D987+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us</ref> The victim received a nose fracture, two black eyes, lacerations to the back of his head, a back injury, and facial bruising. When Trayvon Martin saw the gun, he reached for it saying, "You're going to die tonight m-----------!" President Obama later remarked, "Trayvon Martin could have been me."<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2013/07/19/politics/obama-zimmerman/</ref>
[[Liberal]] Law Professor Jonathon Jonathan Turley noted, "I am equally troubled by Attorney General [[Eric Holder]] discussing the case in public speeches when his department is supposed to be conducting an unbiased review of the facts involving a man who has not been convicted of a crime....The impression, in my view, diminishes the appearance of [[due process]] and fair trial for the accused."<ref>http://jonathanturley.org/2012/05/16/medical-report-on-zimmerman-shows-broken-nose-lacerations-and-back-injury/</ref>
After he was exonerated, the victim responded to the President's provocative comments: "I think that throughout the process the President should have done what he said he was going to do and not interject himself in a local law enforcement matter or a state matter and waited until the facts came out, instead of rushing to judgment, making [[racial]]ly charged comments, and pitting American against American. I believe that he should have taken the higher road given his position and, been an example, been a leader as the President should be and say, let's not rush to judgment."<ref>http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-zimmerman-accuses-barack-obama-of-fuelling-racial-tensions-with-comments-following-trayvon-martin-shooting-10129778.html [Account by ''The Independent'' contains transcription errors].</ref>
==Ferguson riots==
[[File:Eric Holder.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Obama wingman Eric Holder was the point man for the administration's racial agitation program. Holder wanted a "conversation" on race that descended into violence. Contradicting First Lady [[Michael Robinson|Michelle Robinson]] who said, "When they go low we go higher," Holder instructed his staff "when they go low, we kick 'em".]]
:{{See also|Ferguson riots}}In the early afternoon of August 9, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, a city on the outskirts of St. Louis a young black man, Michael Brown was killed by a police officer. Wilson received a call on his radio that a local convenience store had been robbed. He saw two men walking in the middle of a nearby street who met the description of the store thieves. Wilson drove up to them. When he asked the two men to move to the sidewalk, one of the men, Michael Brown, refused. Wilson then attempted to get out of his car, but Brown blocked the door, punching the officer through the open window. Brown tried to grab Wilson’s gun and a struggle ensued. Wilson managed to fire his gun, wounding Brown inthe hand.
After being shot in the hand, Brown ran away from the police car. Wilson got out of the vehicle and pursued him. Brown then suddenly turned and charged Officer Wilson. One witness described the encounter which closely fits the forensic evidence:
{{quotebox-float|“[Brown] ran towards the officer, full charge. The officer fired several shots at him and… Mike Brown continuously came forward in the charging motion... And when he stopped, that's when the officer ceased fire... When he charged once more, the officer returned fire with, I would say… three to four shots. And that's when Mike Brown finally collapsed."}}
The Brown family’s own medical expert, respected pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, conceded this point. The wounds Brown suffered were consistent with Brown charging toward Wilson, not running away. Brown did not raise his hands above his head and shout, “Hands up. Don’t shoot” as the Black Lives Matter [[urban legend]] claims.
Federal investigators from the Obama Department of Justice found no credible evidence that Brown ever raised his hands in a “don’t shoot” gesture—or in any way heeded the officer’s commands for him to surrender. The federal report concluded that
{{quotebox-float|“…witnesses who originally stated Brown had his hands up in surrender recanted their original accounts, admitting that they did not witness the shooting or parts of it…”}}
Investigators also concluded Brown never uttered the phrase. The Obama administration report further states:
{{quotebox-float|“The media has widely reported that there is witness testimony that Brown said ‘don’t shoot’ as he held his hands above his head. In fact, our investigation did not reveal any eyewitness who stated that Brown said ‘don’t shoot.’”}}According to witnesses deemed credible by investigators, a [[Grand Jury]], and even eventually the [[United States Department of Justice]] Civil Rights Division, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot six times and killed by Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson, Missouri Police Department after Brown assaulted the officer with a punch to the face from a standing position through the police vehicle window and attempted to wrest control of the Officer's [[firearm]]. Brown was the main suspect in a strong arm [[robbery]] that occurred moments earlier. Brown was unarmed, and his body lay in the street as Police conducted an investigation lasting several hours.

Anarchist and top [[Occupy Wall Street]] organizer Lisa Fithian, who orchestrated the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization riots, trained Ferguson protesters. Fithian says “create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.”
[[Carl Davidson]] and Pat Fry, co-chairs of the [[Committees of Correspondence of Democratic Socialism]] (CCDS), exploited the [[revolution]]ary atmosphere of the Ferguson riots to create an eight-point plan for “Left Unity” demanding “a common aspiration for [[socialism]].”<ref>https://www.aim.org/special-report/reds-exploiting-blacks-the-roots-of-black-lives-matter/</ref> The pro-[[China]] [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] (now Liberation Road) and its allies claim to have brought nearly 10,000 activists into [[St. Louis]], Missouri, to swell the ranks of the rioters. Four police officers and two civilians were injured by gunfire from the protesters. Of those arrested, some had come from as far as [[New York]], [[California]] and [[Washington]].<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-missouri-shooting/funeral-planned-for-missouri-teen-shot-by-police-as-clashes-persist-idUSKBN0GF0LP20140819</ref>
When the Grand Jury failed to indict the Officer, more violence erupted. Months later, Holder's Justice Department, again, was forced to publicly admit there was no cause to consider the death of the black teenager as a [[civil rights]] violation or [[hate crime]]. When Holder's announcement came, more rioting erupted , and two police officers were shot. President Obama reserved his reaction on the shooting of the two officers for a late night comedy show, ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/13/heres-how-president-obama-responded-to-the-shooting-of-two-ferguson-police-officers-on-jimmy-kimmel-live/</ref> Rep. [[John Lewis]] of Georgia called for Obama "to declare martial law," warning him, "If you fail to act, the fires of frustration and discontent will continue to burn, not only in Ferguson, Missouri, but all across America."<ref>http://www.newsweek.com/john-lewis-ferguson-missouri-ferguson-riots-ferguson-protests-michael-brown-michael-264695</ref>
Dollar costs of the Ferguson Riots by mid -2015 were still not available, that is, damage to [[private property]] and government riot -control costs. The ''real cost'' is in the loss of ''future'' income which now will never materialize.<ref>http://hoosierecon.com/2015/03/07/total-cost-of-ferguson-riots/</ref>
==="Hands up , don't shoot " myth===
The "Hands up, don't shoot" myth originated with Brown’s companion, Dorian Johnson, immediately after the shooting. Witnesses described him saying, “The police shot my friend and his hands were up.” And the phrase spread quickly throughout the neighborhood, morphing into “Hands up. Don’t shoot.” It was picked up and amplified by the [[CNN]] and other [[fake news]] media outlets and became an anthem for [[Marxist]] activists and [[Black Lives Matter communist organization]].

==Manuel Diaz riot==
After 25-year-old suspected gang member Manuel Diaz ran from police and was shot to death in 2012, local residents began throwing objects at police officers. Soon, that situation escalated, with the ''Orange County Register '' reporting, “At least five people were reported hurt in the unrest, with crowds setting fires, smashing windows and throwing rocks and other projectiles at officers in riot gear who fired non-lethal rounds at demonstrators refusing to disperse.”
==Kimini Gray riots==
When 16-year-old Kimani Gray was killed by police after allegedly pointing a handgun at them, riots broke out in Brooklyn in 2013. A crowd of 200 people, according to the ''New York Daily News'', left a vigil site chanting, “NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today.” Then things really went wrong: “things quickly got out of hand as some protesters tried to climb on police motorcycles. Men and women were pepper-sprayed and thrown to the ground and handcuffed.”<ref>https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/7-nypd-bullets-killed-teen-kimani-gray-article-1.1287452</ref> That incident followed a similar vigil gone wrong the night before, when according to the NYPD, “a large, disorderly group [began] throwing bottles at police.” The crowd in that incident trashed a Rite Aid and robbed the store. Storefronts were also smashed.<ref>https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/7-nypd-bullets-killed-teen-kimani-gray-article-1.1287452</ref>
==Baltimore riot==
The [[Ferguson Riots]] failed to muster African-American voters to the polls in the [[2014 Midterm Elections]] to retake the U.S [[House of Representatives]] or keep the [[U.S. Senate]] from going Republican, as [[Democratic Party]] strategists (such as [[Donna Brazile]]) had hoped.<ref>http://www.mediaite.com/online/donna-brazile-hypes-midterm-voter-turnout-with-ferguson-hashtag/</ref><ref>https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/Politics-Voices/2014/0904/Playing-politics-with-Ferguson-Will-it-work-for-Democrats-in-midterms</ref><ref>http://news.yahoo.com/obama-triangulates-ferguson-crisis-midterm-231620731.html</ref> Yet in many ways the 2015 Baltimore Riots were a spinoff of the anger engendered in Ferguson. ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported President Obama met the day after the midterms with Ferguson protest leaders and expressed concern, in the words of [[Al Sharpton]], that the movement and its objectives "stay on course".<ref>http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-met-with-ferguson-activists-concerned-protests-stay-on-course</ref> Social -media analysts discovered links between the [[Baltimore]] and Ferguson violence; between 20 and 50 social media accounts active in Baltimore were also used in Ferguson at the peak of violence in late Summer 2014, suggesting the presence of professional organizers.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3059840/Anarchists-year-s-violence-Ferguson-active-Baltimore-claim-social-media-experts.html</ref>

The [[Biden regime]] provided fresh impetus to the War on Cops with [[Kamala Harris]] leading the raising money for bail for violent looters and insurrectionists. The number of policemen and women killed in 2021 exceeded the number of police deaths for every year since 1995. Biden and the Democrats’ efforts to [[defund the police]] and label the police perpetrators led to widespread murders of police across the [[United States]].<ref>https://nypost.com/2022/02/06/bidens-first-year-in-office-saw-73-police-officers-killed-most-deaths-since-1995/</ref>

==2020 Marxist insurrection==
:{{See also|2020 Marxist insurrection}}
Violent crime - particularly shootings and homicides - spiked across major U.S. cities during the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots in what one law professor dubbed the "[[DFL riots|Minneapolis effect]]." Paul Cassell, a professor at S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, explained the phenomenon in a research paper entitled "Explaining the Recent Homicide Spikes in U.S. Cities: The 'Minneapolis Effect' and the Decline in Proactive Policing."
{{quotebox-float|"Recently, major cities across the country have suffered dramatic spikes in [[homicide]]s. These spikes are remarkably large, suddenly appearing and widespread. At this rate, 2020 will easily be the deadliest year in [[America]] for gun-related homicides since at least 1999, while most other major crime categories are trending stable or slightly downward."}}
Cities like [[Chicago]], [[New York City]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Milwaukee]] and [[Detroit]] have seen spikes in homicides, aggravated assault and gun assaults this year, according to a July study by the nonpartisan National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ).<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/crime-spike-minneapolis-effect-police-cuts</ref> Cassell said the end result is 710 additional homicides and 2,800 more shootings in the U.S. And the professor attributes “several hundred” of the deaths directly to the war on police.
{{quotebox-float|“My estimates are that several hundred additional victims were murdered because of a reduction in policing. There are very significant trade-offs that need to be considered here that have truly life-threatening implications if they’re not handled carefully.”}}

With cities like New York City, moving to defund police by cutting their budgets, or otherwise redirecting funding to social services, this is having an impact as well.
{{quotebox-float|“In the wake of the antipolice protests surrounding George Floyd’s death, less policing has occurred,” he wrote, saying “law enforcement capabilities have been diminished by reduced funding and other setbacks (such as increased retirements due to demoralization).”<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/09/30/us-sees-710-additional-homicides-and-2800-more-shootings-attributed-to-minneapolis-effect-978986</ref>}}

{{quotebox-float|“If you’re sick of watching video after video of these murders by police … you need to … join with a movement for an actual revolution, to prepare for a time when it will be possible to lead millions to bring this system down, and replace it with a new society based on the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.”<ref>https://revcom.us/a/649/communique-6-police-murder-after-murder-after-murder-en.html</ref>}}
