Honolulu, HI – U.S. President Barack Obama called New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton on Sunday to express his condolences for the Saturday killing of two New York police officers and to offer any needed assistance, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.

Obama’s response followed an attack by 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley who allegedly walked up to the two officers in a parked squad car in Brooklyn and shot them dead.
Obama called Bratton while vacationing with his family in Kailua, Hawaii.
If Obama were to do the right thing, he should have stood before our country on TV and made a public plea for the restoration of sanity and renounce the use of violence against those who serve and protect. In my opinion he and his radical cronies are in part responsible to fueling the fires of racial hatred that is sweeping our nation and awakened the crazies who want to act out on their anti police insanities.
