The shooting of the 12 police officers in Dallas, Texas has shaken the soul of our nation Just a few weeks ago I met with many of the men and women in the Dallas Police Force During my visit to Texas they're, not just police officers their mothers and fathers husbands and wives sons and daughters and they're all on my mind today They're on everybody's mind a brutal attack on our police force is an attack on our country and an attack on our families We must stand In solidarity with law enforcement which we must remember is the force between civilization and total chaos every American has the right to live in safety and peace The deaths of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota also make clear how much more work we have to do to make every American feel that their safety is protected too many Americans are living in terrible poverty and violence We need jobs and we're going to produce those jobs racial words not better to many headlines flash across our screens everyday about the rising crime and rising directors in our cities now is the time for prayers love unity and leadership our children to deserve a better future then what were making them live through today but to get them there we must work together and stand together we will make a america safe again
