As tensions and the number of civilian arrests continue to rise, Diddy has stepped to the forefront (via social media) to call out President Obama for not doing more.  Speak On It inside…

With nearly 9 million Twitter followers and 4 million followers on Instagram, Diddy (who coincidentally has an album with Guy Gerber dropping tomorrow) is calling out POTUS regarding the Michael Brown shooting and Ferguson, MO protests.  

While watching the protests and growing unrest, Diddy flips on his camera and says “This sh-t ain’t right. Obama, get on a plane — it’s serious. These are your people, baby. These are your people.”  He captioned the clip, “WATCH DIS! DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!! IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY SEND A VIDEO MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT #DEAROBAMA”

We’ve been seeing plenty of critique of our President when it comes to this situation  But is it fair?

QUESTION:  POTUS has already dispatched Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson (he’s set to arrive on Wednesday); a federal autopsy, which will be in addition tot he city’s autopsy, was approved to be conducted on Michael Brown; and the FBI is conducting an investigation to look at civil rights violations in the shooting. 

While some people might argue for “more”, there is also a large segment of the American constituency (e.g. The Tea Party) who want the President to stay out of “state” affairs.   There’s also a good segment of the population who feel it’s more beneficial & impactful to hold state and local officials accountable.

Should President Obama be doing more?

SPEAK ON IT!
