After the fatal shootings of two black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, and now the deadly attack on police in Dallas, Donald Trump is lamenting the violence.

He says in an early morning tweet: “Prayers and condolences to all of the families who are so thoroughly devastated by the horrors we are all watching take place in our country”. The following day, Philando Castile was fatally shot in a auto by a Minnesota officer, with the aftermath livestreamed on Facebook by his girlfriend.

The week’s events mark the second time the presidential campaign has been upended by violence. Biden is a native of Scranton, and Clinton’s has a family history there as well. “Crime is harming too many citizens”. Sterling was not in a vehicle during the shooting. Last year, Trump said he agreed with the concept of opening ties, breaking step with many of his primary rivals.

Other politicians echoed these sympathies on Twitter as well, including former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who praised the bravery of the police.
