The worst suggestion I have heard today- "Invite Wilson to White House"

Washington (CNN) -- Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said Tuesday that President Barack Obama should invite Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson to meet with him at the White House.
"I think it would be very helpful if President Obama went and met with the police officer, or at least invited him to the White House," King said on Fox Business Network.
"And say, 'you've gone through four months of smear and slander and the least we can do is tell you that it is unfortunate that it happened and thank you for doing your job.'"
Reflecting on Obama's speech last night, King said he thought the President's remarks were "lackluster."

I look forward to Peter King's invitation to Darren Wilson to testify on the importance of his killing of Michael Brown as it relates to keeping the Homeland safe from demons.

Obama, Wilson, and Michael Brown. I'm sure the photo ops will be precious.

and hispanic men are often targeted unfairly by cops. on DU there were a lot of people attacking him also.

he didn't get many people defending him and to quiet down the whole thing he had to do something like that.

but at least in that case the cop had not murdered someone .
