How come Hillary and President Obama haven't said anything about Milwaukee? Is it because it makes for a good smoke screen?

Obama mum on Milwaukee riots, but raising money for Hillary Clinton

President Obama has been quiet so far about two nights of rioting in Milwaukee, but he’ll speak out for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy Monday night at a Democratic fundraiser.

Where is Lynch? DaOne?
My guess, it doesn't fit the narrative. Black officer shoots black felon.
Now, if it had been a white officer, regardless of reasons, then, yea. We would see them both.

Hillary gave her routine stump Trump dump. She needs to recharge.

A narrative is not met by the circumstances of the officer involved shooting. The shooting looks to have been justified while organizers of the insurrection on the ground look to have been in the wings waiting for a signal to go for violence, rioting, and looting.

Actually, Clinton has spoken about it. In any case, from the wording of your question, I suspect that you would criticize whatever they say about it anyhow, so what difference does it make?

Sometimes, when your opponent is setting himself on fire, just being still and quiet is the best tactic.

Governor Scott Walker and Milwaukee County Sherriff David Clarke, get the picture? They should expect no calming influence from el president. He is on vacation and all you know.

I think its unrealistic to expect every politician to talk about every thing going all the time. They haven't said anything about Milwaukee because they're too busy campaigning.
