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:
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.

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.

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

(13,081 posts)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.
