No I dont think President Obama will have the time to solve the violence problem between the police and Black in America. I am for peace and love between the police and the Black community in America.
I am very sad and disapprove the fact that three innocent police officers have been killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana by a crazy Black activist. My condolences to the family of the police officers

We'll maybe he can do something short of solving the whole thing.
I know he likes drones but maybe he can come up with something less explosive.
Maybe he can leave office having done somer productive about this situation for his legacy

quote: Quentin Tarantino: 'They call me cop hater because they can't deal with criticism'
Quentin Tarantino has responded to police union calls for a boycott of his films by saying his critics “sound like bad guys in an 80s action movie”.
Tarantino was speaking on daytime talk show The View in the wake of an increasing furore triggered by remarks he made at a rally in support of the Rise Up October protest group against police brutality on 24 October.
[...]
Tarantino repeated his denial that he was condemning all police. “I was talking about the issue we were talking about that that rally. Obviously I do not believe all cops are murderers – I didn’t say that, I didn’t imply that.”
Claiming police union leaders were trying to “shut my mouth”, Tarantino also rebutted suggestions that the violent content of his movies made his police brutality protest hypocritical. “When [Tamir Rice’s mother] was crying and the cops wouldn’t let her hold her son,” he said, “she wasn’t acting. That was real. I’ve never killed anybody.”

A lot of people like drones. Not just geeks. Perhaps the engineers should have tested the technology throughly, and make it more sufficient and accurate.

Do you mean all drugs, or soft drugs? And aren't there a few places where cannabis is legal?

I just found out about this, so I am still updating. But these types are giving the conscious community a hard time here. All this violence.
Before killing Alton Sterling, Baton Rouge police had a history of brutality complaints
The Baton Rouge Police Department – like so many other departments across the country – is notorious for its brutal treatment of black people. And the confrontation that ensued between Sterling and Officers Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II should be discussed within its proper context. The Baton Rouge Police Department has a history of brutality against black people.
Many law enforcement officials came to Louisiana immediately after Hurricane Katrina to provide reinforcements, and one state trooper from Michigan said Baton Rouge police attempted to thank him for his help by letting him "beat down" a prisoner. A trooper from New Mexico wrote a letter to the Baton Rouge police expressing the concerns of seven New Mexico troopers and five Michigan troopers that Baton Rouge police were engaging in racially motivated enforcement, that they were physically abusing prisoners and the public and that they were stopping, questioning and searching people without any legal justification.
But the bad reports aren't confined to the time around Hurricane Katrina. In 2014, a 15-year-veteran of the force resigned after a series of racist text messages were attributed to him. Michael Elsbury, who routinely patrolled an area around Southern University, resigned as the department was looking into text messages that called black people monkeys (and worse) and expressed pleasure "in arresting those thugs with their saggy pants."
In April 2016 we saw a video of a 22-year veteran of the Baton Rouge force repeatedly punching a teenager in the back of the head as other officers held the teenager on the ground.
