Imagine going to the funeral of your sister or mother who was raped and murdered and hearing some governmental official bemoan how some women wear slutty outfits.

As others have already said, outside of this memorial, his comments are not really controversial and probably don't even get mentioned anywhere. But, you're at a memorial for POLICE OFFICERS KILLED WHILE PROTECTING BLACK PEOPLE. It takes a heartless kind of bastard to bring up racist cops. It's almost as if he wants to equate all cops with the bad ones.

Let me put it this way: when you get out-"speeched" by George W. Bush, you're doing something wrong.

I can understand that point of view.  I guess I came at it from the perspective of he's the POTUS and he has to kind of cover all the bases when he speaks.

I would have been fine without those references, I am OK with them in the context of his speech.

When I started the thread it was because my friends was SO upset with it that I was taken aback.
