U.S President Barack Obama has condemned the
Thursday night attack of gunmen that resulted in
the killing of 5 police officers with seven others
injured.
It was the second statement about shootings in
American the President made from Europe in less
than 12 hours. He condemned the shootings by
police of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana
shorty after arriving in Europe and made and a
broad diagnosis of American racial imbalance. Hours later, after chaos erupted in Dallas and five
police officers were killed in sniper shootings that
began during protests stemming from the
Minnesota and Louisiana shootings, Obama
promised justice.
“There is no possible justification for these kinds
of attacks or any violence against law
enforcement,” Obama said, speaking from the
NATO summit in Poland that he is attending.
“Anyone involved in the senseless murders will be
held fully accountable. Justice will be done.”
“Today is a wrenching reminder of the sacrifices
they make for us,” Obama said of law enforcement
officers. “We also know when people are armed
with powerful weapons, unfortunately, it makes
attacks like these more deadly and more tragic.”
Obama said he wanted Friday to “focus is on the
victims and their families.”
“They are heartbroken,” Obama said. “The entire
city of Dallas feels this to its core. We are grieving
with them. I ask you say a prayer for the officers
and their families. Keep them in your thoughts.”
