What he said today is what people have wanted said from the beginning, without injecting politics of gun control and without passing any judgement on police shootings before the facts come in.
And the BLM movement, to the extent it was triggered by "racist cops murdering blacks", is a lie. One that has been, to this point, encouraged and perpetuated by the POTUS and media.
Just to add to gut's reply:
When you have one of the most powerful international voices in the world and then time and time and time again cast aspersions towards one group while inviting another group into the White House to have friendly talks, you are in essence pitting peoples against peoples. You are being contentious, divisive and purposely propagating mischief.
That is why I was pleasantly surprised that he finally stopped his jackassery. The POTUS is the leader of the free world and the sort of behavior he has exhibited up until this point has been nothing short of insidiously abhorrent.
In short, the most racially divisive Present that we have had in 50 years has finally, it seemed, learned how to STFU.
