We will pull through these tragedies.

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.

Max Wolfe STARTING Race Wars is only PART of what brings this nation to "MARTIAL Law" - and "THE MOMENT" Martial Law is enacted, Obama EXTENDS his presidential role. WAKE UP - He's NOT a savior or friend to Americans of ANY color, he and Clinton are your worst enemies!

Dan Kazmierczak I don't know the law as it applies to flag burning, but simply to hate police, etc. vocally is freedom of speech. They have the right to say those things. There's a whole ammendment devoted to it. If you take that away, the US starts to look alot like north korea, where you are jailed for speaking badly about the government.

Jea Sil To those who insist that flag burning is free speech... when exactly does free speech transition to hate speech? This was an illegal act of aggression for generations until the SCOTUS made an error in judgement. Burning the flag of your country, of any...See More

Bill Parker Truly terrifying. "Mr. Trump, when you become president, please literally discard the entire Constitution because there are people I disagree with." So glad the guy you psychotic Nazis support will never actually be president.
