They would be kind thoughtful words if he hadn't let two cities burn to the ground on his watch.  In the case of Michael Brown he could have done a lot more to calm the concerns of the Black community in that city with two words "DUE PROCESS!"  He could have assured them that no matter what the outcome of the investigation that Michael Brown would have been treated as a human being just like anyone else with all the rights and privileges there unto appertaining.  He could have told them that there was no need to protest because his justice department was ensuring that Michael Brown's death was being investigated fairly and impartially and that he would not allow any stone to go unturned to uncover the truth.  That would have been not only presidential but the basic function of a person of color holding the office.  

 

Is that what he did?  NO.  He by in large stayed silent, but signaled that there would be a civil rights investigation implying that there was already reason to believe that officer Wilson acted injudiciously and that a crime had been committed.  He also had representatives at the funeral of Michael Brown when there has been no such representation with other people who have served this country.  

 

So i don't want to hear about how thoughtful he was in a 30 second blurb.  Also, with the chant "Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon" BLM and its activists have engaged in terrorist threats against police officers that helped contributed to an environment that lead to the assassination of police officers.  That's a criminal act.  These people should never have been invited to the White house.
