Donald J. Trump Statement
- July 08, 2016 -

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 people 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.

Trump obviously didn't write this, and his family must have him bound and gagged in his office as he's only tweeted once.

That is exactly how I envision it

He's put out a few tweets on this.

His statement strikes the right tone.   A crisis like this has the ability to spawn a leader, a uniter, a healer.   And it has the ability to be exploited and made worse, the very antithesis of leadership.   

This represents an opportunity for Donald Trump.  Be a true leader in a moment of crisis.   This is it, sir, show you're worthy.

Throw in the part about how it's just as important to root out and prosecute those men and women in law
enforcement who would abuse their power and the citizens they're sworn to protect (unfortunately, they are
there, and have been there, and are as criminal as the criminals---the actual criminals, regardless of race---
they are supposed to apprehend), and he'd have had it complete.
