Obama says mistrust of police corroding America

Sep 28, 4:25 AM (ET) [ Sunday 28 September 2014 Pacific Time USA ]

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE

WASHINGTON (AP) — The widespread mistrust of law enforcement that was exposed by the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man in Missouri exists in too many other communities and is having a corrosive effect on the nation, particularly on its children, President Barack Obama says. He blames the feeling of wariness on persistent racial disparities in the administration of justice.

Obama said these misgivings only serve to harm communities that are most in need of effective law enforcement.

"It makes folks who are victimized by crime and need strong policing reluctant to go to the police because they may not trust them," he said Saturday night in an address at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual awards dinner.

"And the worst part of it is it scars the hearts of our children," Obama said, adding that it leads some youngsters to unnecessarily fear people who do not look like them and others to constantly feel under suspicion no matter what they do.

He slept on the Brattleboro Municipal Common that evening, under the partial shelter of the bandshell. He turned in as soon as it was dark, and fell asleep instantly. Some sound woke him with a jerk a time later. He looked at his watch. The thin radium lines on the dial scratched out eleven-twenty. He got up on one elbow and stared into the darkness, feeling the bandshell huge around him, missing the little tent that had held in body heat. What a fine little canvas womb it had been!

If there had been a sound, it was gone now; even the crickets had fallen silent.

And I told them, if we actually want to solve the problem, as opposed to just score political points, then we can't just have one leg of the stool. We've got to make sure that we're dealing with employers who are dealing in unscrupulous ways with undocumented workers. We've got--[applause]--and for the millions of folks who are already here, we've got to say to them, you've got to take responsibility. You broke the law; you've got to pay a fine. You've got to pay your back taxes. You've got to learn English. You've got to go to the back of the line, but here's a pathway whereby you can get right with our community and contribute to the larger American project.

Those are issues that we're going to have some legitimate differences on. Some of those differences were expressed in the Republican caucus. And I expressed my opinions as well. But you know what? If you talk to most Americans on these issues, they're not thinking Republican, they're not thinking Democrat, they're not thinking liberal, they're not thinking conservative. They're thinking, what's common sense, what's decent, what's right, what does the science say, what do the facts say, what will work, what won't work? Solve the problem.

And that's what I'm prepared to do.

You couldn't rob such a man. He didn't keep his money in cash or gold bars. It was all electronic, theoretical money, really, that existed in computer memories and traveled across telephone wires, and that was difficult to steal, wasn't it?

No, what a man like Ostermann had was information, the ultimate source of power, ethereal though it was.

:30:01
Can I help it if you're never around,
Mr. Kaplan?

:30:03
Then how do you know I'm Mr. Kaplan?

:30:05
-What?
-How do you know I'm Mr. Kaplan?

:30:07
Of course you are.

:30:09
This is Room 796, isn't it?

:30:11
So, you're the gentleman in Room 796,
aren't you?

:30:15
All right, Elsie, thanks.

:30:16
-Will that be all, sir?
-For the time being, yes.

:30:25
Valet.

:30:26
Yes, come in.

:30:29
-Should I hang it in the closet, Mr. Kaplan?
-Yes, please.

:30:38
Tell me....

:30:40
What time did I give you that suit?

:30:43
Last night. Around 6:00.

:30:46
-Did I give it to you personally?
-Personally?

:30:49
No. You called down on the phone
and described the suit to me.

:30:52
Said it would be hanging in your closet.
Like you always do.

:30:56
-Anything wrong?
-No, I'm just curious.

:30:59
-Here. Thanks.
-Thank you.

:31:01
Nice to meet you, Mr. Kaplan.

:31:07
Isn't that the damnedest thing?

:31:09
I'm beginning to think that no one
in the hotel has actually seen Kaplan.

:31:13
Maybe he has his suits mended
by invisible weavers.

:31:22
Let me see something.

:31:30
I don't think that one does
anything for you.

:31:38
Now, that's much better.

:31:40
Obviously they've mistaken me
for a much shorter man.
