“In my letter I asked President Obama to stand with us against this disturbing trend, condemn these crimes, and declare a National Day of Prayer and Peace”, Fleming said.
Speaking on Fox News on Sunday, former Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) said churches and synagogues have been “where right and wrong has been taught to a huge number of our population”, and “if we lose those great institutions we can’t hire enough police officers to keep us safe”.
“I’ve come to show my support for a fallen hero, his family the rest of the community, the United States”, Robert Huckabee said. They put their lives on the line for our safety. Police had said over the weekend the shooting appeared unprovoked.
Cruz’s comments came as conservative media – and politicians – grow ever more critical of the Black Lives Matter movement that grew out of last year’s protests in Ferguson, Missouri. “Well, cops’ lives matter, too”, Hickman said. “Everybody’s life matters we’re humans and we need to treat each other as humans”, Sanford.
