Trump Calls for ‘Love and Compassion’ in the Wake of Dallas Police Ambush

Donald Trump released a statement on Friday following the deadly police ambush in Dallas calling for “love and compassion” for police officers and first responders.

He called the shootings “an attack on our country" -- "a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.”

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

Trump added that the “senseless, tragic deaths” of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota “remind us how much more needs to be done.”

“Our nation has become too divided,” he wrote. “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.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee postponed a campaign event in Miami, Fla., scheduled later today.

Similarly, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton postponed her rally in Scranton, Penn., where she was expected to appear with Vice President Joe Biden.

She plans to address the Dallas police ambush and the fatal shootings of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile at the AME National Convention in Philadelphia this evening.

Clinton tweeted this morning, “I mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families & all who serve with them.”

It is a police officer’s necktie, shirt, badge and patch. The badge is wrapped with a blue and black mourning ribbon that police wear when another officer is killed, as five were in Dallas on the weekend. The nation’s mourning period is until Tuesday.
