Bristol Palin Rages: Obama 'Needs To STAY Out Of' Ahmed Mohamed's Case

ristol Palin wrote on her blog Thursday that President Obama "needs to STAY out of" the case of a 14-year-old Muslim student in Texas who was wrongly arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school.

Obama invited the teen, Ahmed Mohamed, to the White House on Wednesday after news of his arrest went viral. The invitation, Palin wrote, only invited "more racial strife."

Mohamed was arrested earlier this week after police were called to investigate the clock he brought to his suburban Dallas high school. After his release, he was invited to tour Facebook, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Texas at Austin.

But Palin, the daughter of former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, said the invitation was a mistake:

This is the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of. This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the “Black Lives Matter” crowd and encourages victimhood.
The police made a mistake, clearly.

But why put more people against them? Why egg it on? Childish games like this from our president have divided our country… even more today than when he was elected.

being hassled and arrested for entering his own home at Harvard (remember the"beer summit) he had to hold just to calmthe idiots down?).

And the freak out when he remarked that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon.

Uneducated, unemployed grifter Bristol Palin needs to sit down and shut up.

Strike another wet match there, Miss Palin. You'll catch fire one of these days and people will pay attention to you.

should stay out of it.

Serious question (I don't live in the US): Do police forces have to obey Mayors or are they impartial?

Very generally speaking, in the eastern part of the country there are a lot more city police that answer to a chief, who then answers to an elected mayor.

Out west, many places only/mostly have county Sheriff's Departments, usually with an elected Sherriff theoretically responsible directly to voters.

You're projecting (def. 21), Bristol. And not to be name-calling, but aren't you a three-times unwed mom?
