Exactly. That is why he was demanding an investigation. The reason the Trayvon Martin case became a national issue was the refusal of the police to investigate what had happened.
Obama never said a white man was guilty. All he was doing was saying that it should be investigated. Don't know why any white people would be offended by that except the ones who get offended whenever the echo chamber tells them to.
I still remember all the right wing sheep posting stories of white people being shot by black people where there was a police investigation and arrest and trying to act like that was the same as what happened to Treyvon with just the races reversed. They did not even understand the issue, but they were being told to play their "white man victim cards" so they pulled them out.
