Obama on Baton Rouge police shooting: Justice will be done - Daily Mail

President Obama condemned the 'cowardly and reprehensible' attack on police officers in Baton Rouge - and promised: 'Justice will be done.' Three officers were confirmed dead and a further three were injured after a shooting at a gas station along Airline Highway in the Louisiana city on Sunday morning.   One suspect is dead and law enforcement officials believe a further two may still be at large, a spokesman for the sheriff's office said. In a statement, Obama blasted the assault on officers 'who put their lives on the line for ours every day' and branded the perpetrators 'cowards who speak for no one.' And in an address to the nation shortly after 5pm, President Obama reiterated his pledge that justice would be done, adding: 'Attacks on police are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society possible.' Urging Americans to unite in the wake of the latest tragedy, he added: 'We need to temper our words and open our hearts.' Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
