At a press conference in Warsaw this morning, President Obama addressed the police shooting in Dallas. As you’d expect, the Commander-in-Chief expressed condolences for the families, families and colleagues of those killed and wounded. The President also praised the police generally and expressed support for the Black Lives protestors, while pointing out that “there is no possible justification for these attacks.”
Mr. Obama almost made it through the statement without mentioning gun control. But failed. At 3:10 in the above video, the President declares, “We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes attacks like these more deadly and more tragic and we’re going to have to consider those realities as well.” Yes, we are.
