President Obama called the shooting deaths of at least five Dallas police officers a “vicious, calculated and despicable attack” and a “wrenching reminder” of the sacrifices of law enforcement.
Speaking from Warsaw on Friday after the first of a series of meetings with European Union and NATO leaders, the president said he had offered his condolences to the Dallas mayor overnight.
“We are horrified over these events,” he said. “We stand united with the people in the police department in Dallas.”
The officers were monitoring a peaceful protest Thursday of police shootings of black men this week in Minnesota and Louisiana when gunmen opened fired downtown. Six more officers were wounded, and three people were in custody.
“There has been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement,” Obama said. “… There is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks, or any violence against law enforcement. Justice will be done.”
Just hours earlier, from the same room, Obama had addressed the two shootings that prompted the Dallas protest and mourned the victims: Alton Sterling, shot to death while he was pinned to the ground Tuesday by two white police officers in Baton Rouge, La.; and Philando Castile, killed Wednesday in a traffic stop in a scene that in part played out via Facebook Live video by his girlfriend.
Obama had offered a litany of statistics of how blacks are treated by police to illustrate what he called “conscious and unconscious” biases and flaws in the criminal justice system, and said the nation must ask: “What can we do better so that everybody feels as if they’re equal under the law?”

Obama gives lip service to supporting cops.
Just words.
Another terrorist attack on law enforcement most likely supported by Obama and the Lynch bitch.
Yesterday, I was watching the Congressional hearing re:FBI/Comey. Three black congressmen were obviously not interested in the purpose of the hearing because they spent their allotted time talking about white supremacy/the MINN and Louisiana shootings. Several others (white DEMS) mentioned racism also, Cummings included it in his opening rant. I was furious that Chaffetz allowed this to happen, they should have been shut down because it had nothing to do with the hearing.
Police “acted stupidly”. Remember that Obummer? You are responsible for all of this.
that demonic obama creature encouraged this with that statement yesterday and it knows chaos provides opportunities to enact more control,
FBO!
FBO!
It was all of the “despicable” racist rhetoric from Obama and Clintoon that caused these “despicable” murders of American policemen. Obama needs to knock it off with the “despicable” crocodile tears.
wink and nod - Obama
Will go to their safe spaces and blame guns.
Crocodile tears and concern.
Crooked Comey, Lynch, Val and Obama got drunk
and plotted to kill more Americans
through their Islamic, narco, and black terrorists.
He was a professional agitator.
He has been agitating racial conflict since the fools in this country voted him into office.
The blood of each and every one of those officers is on his long, thin, delicate, smooth and soft hands.
“What can we do better so that everybody feels as if they’re equal under the law?”
Did Obama really say this just days after Hillary was not indicted for crimes she clearly committed? He could have started with her.
Dollars to doughnut-holes the perps visited the White Hut multiple times in recent months.
I guess he’s still trying to cause record gun sales.
Blaming the acts of the criminal murderers that he incited into action on the 2nd Amendment.
It has been his abuse of the 1st Amendment (yelling fire in a crowded movie theater) that has agitated these criminals to murder.
Perhaps he should be denied his 1st Amendment rights before trying to deny the law abiding in this country their 2nd Amendment rights.
Not “home-grown terrorists.”
But “home-grown Muslims.”
I think we need to start addressing violence encouraged by ‘community organizers’
President Trump can't take office fast enough.
A bigger body count would have advanced his agenda on a faster track. Hence the comdenation.
Helluva time for the FBI’s credibility to fall off the edge of the planet, eh?
No matter what the investigation finds half the country is going to think it’s a political setup.
