Barack Obama spoke this morning at the National Peace Officer’s Memorial Service in Washington DC.
The president, who has been criticial of police officers several times in the past, praised the nation’s peace officers. He urged the nation to “heal the rifts” that still exist between law enforcement and the people they protect.
Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke weighed in, via Twitchy:
“He doesn’t believe a word he said. Believes cops are racist.”
