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 theyre equal under the law?

We don’t have time. What we really need right now is for the military to take a stand and protect the republic.
Yeah...that's right Obama, and I really believe That was your plan all along was to start some sort domestic uprising so you could take some sort of punitive action against the American people....
Why else would he import an army of young Muslim operatives into our country... It's to stir the pot and cause dissension in the black population..
It's the only thing that makes any sense....

Is this the same military that’s made up of transvestites, homos, illegals, and Muslims?
That stupid Captain Obvious comment about powerful weapons meaning more damage....ggaaaaah.
Hed always has to make some damn unpresidential comment. Including I see about how cops shoot blacks so much and we bad Americans have to rethink ourselves to stop persecuting the poor (/;)$(;’h&$-&:/..
Protect it from what?
Never involve the MIL in internal affairs. This is exactly what Dems dream of. They hate the MIL...until they control it.
Now, if we had genuine militia, and maybe the National Guard doing what it is supposed to...
You can’t make it up.
Let me offer a solution to at least getting things back on track................A LANDSLIDE VICTORY!
Cheap coming from the most divisive president ever.
I agree. Media also has been whipping up anti-police sentiment. HLN and CNN have gone overboard in bashing police - even for trivial things such as traffic stops.
“There is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks...”
How about his and the media’s constant “racism” claims...”BLACK” man shot by “WHITE” police officer, regardless of circumstances.
The FBI is on the way! What a relief!
/S
I’ll vote for that.
Alligator tears.
No we don’t. Not with this el prez and ag in charge.
Obama justified this kind of thing just yesterday, I believe.
But regardless of the outcome of such investigations, whats clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.”
Can he swear out an arrest warrant for Hussein?
Your fault bammy.
Has he requested the flags be flown at half staff, or is that just when politically acceptable groups have been targeted?
Their blood is on his hands.
