Why is Obama still silent on American police brutality against American protesters yet so adamant about the rights of peaceful protesters in other countries?

OBAMA ON LIBYAN PEACEFUL PROTESTORS: “The United States condemns the use of violence against peaceful protesters in those countries, and wherever else it may occur.” February 18th, 2011. 

OBAMA ON IRANIAN PEACEFUL PROTESTORS: Obama reiterated that real change in societies is not going to happen because of terrorism… or killing innocents, but by people coming together and applying moral force. … On Iran, Obama said he was clear after mass demonstrations following Iran’s elections in 2009, and is clear now, that people should be able to express grievances and seek a more responsive government. February 15th, 2011.

OBAMA ON AMERICAN PEACEFUL PROTESTORS: Nothing.
