DES MOINES – President Barack Obama made a statement Wednesday afternoon after two Central Iowa police officers were gunned down this morning in separate, apparent ambushes:
Yesterday, two police officers put on their uniforms to serve and protect the communities they loved. And early this morning, they were taken from us in shameful acts of violence.
Sergeant Anthony Beminio and Officer Justin Martin represented our best, most decent instincts as human beings – to serve our neighbors, to put ourselves in harm’s way for someone else. They knew the dangers of their job. They knew the risks. Yet they chose to dedicate themselves to those values anyway. So today, Michelle and I join Americans across our country in expressing our condolences and stand in solidarity with their grieving families, fellow officers, and the communities they served so honorably.
All across the country, our police officers go to work each day not knowing whether they’ll come home at night. Their families live each day with the same fears. So as Americans, we owe them our respect and gratitude for their efforts to safeguard our families and our communities. And so as we once again mourn American police officers lost in the line of duty, we must also renew the call to match that same sense of service, that same devotion within our own lives and our own communities.
Thankfully, that’s the Iowa I know well. That’s what I’ve experienced every time I’ve visited Urbandale and Des Moines – good, big-hearted people who look out for each other and are willing to come together across our differences. That’s the spirit we all must summon now not only to heal, but to honor the service of Sergeant Beminio, Officer Martin, and all the men and women who wear the blue.
I wish I was reading about somebody “ambush style” killing OBama.
But we would still have to clean up the mess he has made in this country for the last 8 years.
You had better be careful with talk about killing the president. I don’t like him either but he is still the president and they take that kind of comment very seriously. You may think anonymous protects you but it doesn’t if they are serious enough to look for you.
Guy was a Trump supporter who killed these innocent cops. He bought into the InfoWars BS anti-govt propaganda that Trumptards love. He is one of the deplorables, and they are the real threat to America.
You can’t run far enough to get away. Be very scared.
I just keep waiting and waiting.
It’s coming soon.
Another notch up on the Grim Reaper’s list there LVS.
Best to get your affairs in order.
Are you going to get cremated?
If so, they best let you dry our for awhile as Bullshit burns mush better when dried.
out and must….damn auto correct
I have been dry for years you Dumb Ass. I see you are still a coward just like when you were younger and ran away from everyone. You really need to get ever your wife looking at other men because you are not man enough to satisfy her. You are just what a cowardly pussy with you panties in a bunch does. You backstab and snipe at people who are better than you can ever be. I will live long enough to dance and piss on your grave you chickenshit.
If you decide to respond, why not under your real name. As you still ashamed and cowardly in your rebuttal? Is this LVS or someone else?
Why don’t you put your name on here coward. Some day you will slip and tell someone about your stupidity. That person will tell someone else and so forth. Finally, you will be walking down the street or at the store and we will meet personally. Then we will see if your big mouth can back up your dumb ass.
That’s actually a very nice speech. Obama is nothing if not a smooth and persuasive orator.
As for our candidates, Donald Trump would likely volunteer to throw the switch on Mr. Greene, while Hillary would probably jump up and down at the chance to defend him and get him off the hook.
The Donald not only would throw the switch, but he would put it on prime time television. It would be the best entertainment, the absolute best entertainment.
I would tune in with a bowl of popcorn and a cold one.
And……. The Donald would find a way to make a few bucks off the event. Like donations to Vets that never happened!
