He was doing so well. He couldn't help himself I guess.

President Obama’s speech at today’s memorial service for the fallen police officers in Dallas started off with a great deal of promise.
Obama is giving a lovely speech so far. Focusing on the issue at hand and honoring those fallen.

Obama speaking of the best in each of us and recognizing the incredible work of the @DallasPD, not just Thursday, but for years now.
— Sarah (@mamaswati) July 12, 2016
Unfortunately, it didn’t last.
This could and should have been done without the lecture.
— Sarah (@mamaswati) July 12, 2016
Why are we being lectured?

So glad we're all getting a lecture from the president at the #dallas memorial service.

This is torture. Obama is ruining this.

I was under no delusion he wouldn't politicize this, but even I'm taken aback at how far he's going.

Obama should have stopped with honoring the fallen.
Politicking at a memorial is … crass.— Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl) July 12, 2016
Can’t stop, won’t stop.

Here’s what he said:
PresObama says: None of us is entirely innocent – that includes our police departments
— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) July 12, 2016
Obama "None of us are entirely innocent" when it comes to racial discrimination… “and this includes our police departments."
— Jim Roberts (@nycjim) July 12, 2016
What Obama did is nothing short of disgraceful.
He's lecturing police departments at a memorial for police officers.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 12, 2016
Obama: All y'all are Racist, even the police.
— Mickey White (@BiasedGirl) July 12, 2016
Right to the faces of the colleagues of police officers who were murdered for the color of their skin. https://t.co/vJZjDL0cd2

Obama had to go political… even at a memorial for murdered police officers. https://t.co/VZf2PqOJ52

At a memorial for dead cops… Utterly classless. https://t.co/kHAbJVi8Om

I don't care what your political leanings are, this is not the time or place for this. Unbelievable. https://t.co/uoOJxOFh9F

Obama had the chance to just honor the fallen. Instead, he had to go full politics. Again. Lecturing cops at a memorial for cops.

The only time President Obama ever seems to show any fortitude is when he’s on his soapbox.
What could've been by far the best speech of his Presidency, is now just the same old lecturing campaigning bullshit. Really disappointing.
— Sarah (@mamaswati) July 12, 2016
Shameful.
