    It can’t be Obama’s son he’s not wearing a hoodie.
    However it could have been Obama’s mamma…

      It would only be Obamas mama is the attacker was white or that newly invented race “white Hispanic”.

    How dare you write that he’s a black male! Could have been white or chinese or hispanic with makeup! Get Sharpton on the case, fast!!!
    We need more cops on the beat, and none in the “command center” by 770!
