Donald J. Trump Statement on Dallas Police Shooting

Donald J. Trump Statement

Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded - is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.

We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.

The senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.

This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.

Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.

This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the divider in chief is involved in this. Funny how every time we have headlines in the news that the Washington Caliphate doesn’t approve of, something bad happens to knock it off. I said just yesterday something bad is going to happen to knock the Clinton criminal cabal off the headlines and *poof* here we are. It’s predictable as the sun rising.

shooter specifically motivated by Black Lives Matter movement and wished to kill white people, white cops in particular:


Dallas Chief of Police:

“The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter.”

“He said he was upset about the recent police shootings.”

“The suspect said he was upset at white people.”

“The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

“The suspect stated that we will eventually find the IEDs.”

“The suspect said he was not affiliated with any group, and he stated that he did this alone.”

It’s working out great for BLM!

...

I am very disappointed that he’s making conclusive judgments about those incidents.

Sorry but this is disappointing from Trump

He doesn't know what went down with these 2 shootings and should not be commenting until the facts are out

In addition why are these 2 incidents blown up into a NATIONAL issue by the MSM reporting

Philando Castile pulled a gun on a homeless man, it is illegal to have a gun as a convicted child molester and felon...resisted arrest, tried to pull weapon...the Police didn’t initially pull their weapons until he did.

Another FBI FAILURE!

I know we all use the term Cops, out of respect for who they are it’s time to call them what they technically are POLICE Officers.

Sorry. I was talking about the current occupier in the WH, not Trump.

I might be wrong but I believe a BLM leader and Sharpton were recently invited to the WH for a sit-down. I’m pretty sure I remember reading about the meeting online....not in the regular media.

Not sure he should have called the deaths in LA & MN to be “senseless, tragic” until we know all of the facts. I agree they were tragic, maybe not senseless.

If the Dallas shootings turn out to be jihadists, I do hope Trump goes after classifying them as terrorism, full bore!

A presidential-level statement. Much better than the supercilious drivel we get from the divider-in-chief.

Obama's statement was just more anti-gun BS.

He needs to have his staff do recidivism and Parole and Probation research.

Keep in mind the Feds only sample 45% so you have to do some simple math. Then add in the factor crime is Hierarchical counted. Only the most serious offense is counted, not to mention the Plea Deals that take M1 down to M2, the disparity in sentences for any race is another factor. 50 states, all with different laws, and time served because no one wants a prison in their back yard...NIMBY crowd. Build some in the middle of Death Valley and put land mines around them. No more “good Time Behavior” releases.

Recidivism
http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=17

This one is a not as easy to find there is no updated one.

Parole and Probation

Again you will need simple math skills.

DUMBO’s and Clinton’s justices won’t let the Death Penalty be used. Except for Texas, where they know how to get it done. Tennessee has men on Death Row over 20 yrs with all appeals run out, and our COWARD RINO GOV won’t sign the death warrants.

I do not wish to post today, other then to state Obama, Clinton and the entire Democrat Party have turned America into a lawless, third world nation.

It’s such a good statement that the media will not broadcast it.
