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?

"As he did earlier Friday, Obama called on Americans to do more to address police-involved shootings and violence in the criminal justice system. And he also suggested that lax gun laws also played a role: "We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons, it makes shootings like this more deadly and more tragic," he said."
Obama bringing up gun control immediately. Shocking. Everything has to have a politicized narrative. They had a Democrat member of Congress on CNN this morning who also was bringing up gun control.
“And he also suggested that lax gun laws also played a role:”
If they were black, is he going to blame the ending of slavery too?
This guy has condemned the police while making excuses for Islamic terrorists. He’s going down in history alright.
This is directly linked to him and his BLM allies.
Pray America wakes
IMPEACH THE BASTARD SON OF A WHORE
Obama has the blood of the slain Dallas police on his hands
Where oh where is our Cassius?
Obama is responsible for all the racial division in the country presently.
Now Obama is color-blind,
I heard the President loud and clear, the dog whistler says “The Justified Shooting of Police Officers is wrong”
What a POTUS!
This is just what he has been trying to foment since he entered politics.
..If they were black, is he going to blame the ending of slavery too...
Maybe he can work in that the police acted stupidly too.
“Obama bringing up gun control immediately. “
I have an idea. Let’s make crime illegal!!!!
Taqiyya
Obama and his coddling of the BLM and NBPP thugs built that...
You helped cause this!
Divide and Conquer
This is the America that Barry Soetoro has created for us; now we have to decide how we’ll deal with it...
"Sheriff David Clarke had an emotional response to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson's response to the Dallas police shootings and their race baiting rhetoric. "
This was fully expected, had to get Hillary and her crimes off the headlines.
“Pray America wakes”
