Clinton, Trump say America has become too divided after Dallas shootings

Clinton is still expected to speak Friday afternoon in Philadelphia, where she is expected to address this week’s shootings in Dallas, Baton Rouge and Minnesota.

Law enforcement, he said, “is the force between civilization and total chaos”. “The fact is that there are communities in America where black families tell us that they are fearful with interacting with local law enforcement”.

Hillary Clinton has addressed the fatal Dallas shootings at an appearance at the African Methodist Episcopal Convention in Philadelphia, but postponed a rally in Pennsylvania with Vice President Joe Biden. She pledged to revisit the language she has used throughout the campaign. “They’re pleasant. At times they’re amusing, at times they’re interesting, but in terms of making a difference in people’s lives, it’s the details that matter”, Sanford said.

Corey Stewart, Virginia State chairman of Donald Trump’s campaign, took to social media in the wake of the Dallas shootings to blame Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the violence that has marred the city and country this week.

Hillary Clinton is deflecting criticism from FBI Director James Comey that she was “careless” in handling classified information in emails, saying she relied on experienced State Department professionals who were careful in their handling of sensitive materials. After Flake urged Trump to end his disparaging comments against Mexicans, the Post said, Trump predicted that Arizona’s junior senator would lose his re-election campaign. Still, this is also an exceedingly generous interpretation of Trump’s statement. So we’re bringing back this post featuring videos of a bunch of adorable animals.

Trump said the “senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists in Louisiana and Minnesota” are a reminder “how much more needs to be done”.

“A brutal attack on our police force is an attack on our country, and an attack on our families”. Remember what those officers were doing when they died.

Friday’s cancellation is the second time Clinton has had a major event postponed after a deadly shooting.

Hundreds of people gathered in Dallas to protest the killings Thursday night when a gunman opened fire, killing five police officers and injuring seven others.

President Barack Obama addressed the police shootings from Warsaw, Poland, where he is attending the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit.

Stewart also posted a link to article announcing that Clinton will be campaigning in Virginia next week.

“When gunfire broke out yesterday, and everyone ran to safety, the police officers ran the other way – into the gunfire”.

Politicians from Texas and around the country offered condolences and reactions to the fatalities, with Trump decrying “the horrors we are all watching take place in our country”.
