whitehouse | "But regardless of the outcome of such investigations, what's clear is
that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are
symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice
system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after
year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law
enforcement and too many of the communities they serve.
"In the meantime, all Americans should recognize the anger, frustration,
and grief that so many Americans are feeling -- feelings that are being
expressed in peaceful protests and vigils. Michelle and I share those
feelings. Rather than fall into a predictable pattern of division and
political posturing, let’s reflect on what we can do better. Let’s come
together as a nation, and keep faith with one another, in order to
ensure a future where all of our children know that their lives matter."
