Oh, Now Obama Cares About Police Safety

War On Cops: Amid a rash of deadly ambushes of police officers, President Obama suddenly is concerned for their safety. Not so fast. Obama is chief among the anti-cop antagonists who've put police lives in danger.

After spending a year falsely vilifying police as racist murderers, Obama has softened his tone. What changed? National outcry over the cold-blooded assassination of a Houston cop.

Police on Saturday arrested Shannon Miles, who they said shot 15 bullets into Deputy Darren Goforth as he fueled his patrol car. Miles is black, and Goforth was white. It was the 18th deadly ambushing of a cop this year, tripling 2014's count.

Obama's sudden concern also comes amid a massive manhunt for the killers of a suburban Chicago cop. Assailants shot Lt. Charles J. Gliniewicz, stripped him of his gun and other gear, and left him to die in a swamp. The murder marks the fourth in 10 days across the U.S.

It's an alarming trend. And since it's now a national political issue, Obama finally addressed it, though not in the public way he condemned cops in Ferguson and Baltimore. He called Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth's widow and issued a statement saying that he did so, adding that he will "continue to stand up for the safety of police officers wherever they serve."

The nerve. While Obama hasn't called outright for hostilities against police, he helped craft Black Lives Matter's false narrative that racist white cops kill innocent blacks all the time. And like BLM, he has fueled anti-cop hatred with anti-cop rhetoric.

There have been many instances where this president has sided with violent black suspects over police evidence that even minority jurors could see vindicated the cops. His words and actions have been contemptibly biased against cops. Consider the following:
