Trump countered that "it's far worse, and certainly far worse than (the President) believes it is."
Earlier Monday, Trump had delivered a speech promoting VA reforms, but also touched on the violence, offering his support to law enforcement in the wake of the Dallas shooting.
He lamented the "ongoing catastrophe of crime" in inner cities and argued police officers face similar "harassment" of the nature U.S. soldiers returning from the Vietnam War confronted.

After the death of Eric Garner in a police takedown, Black Lives Matter led mobs onto the streets and highways of Manhattan chanting, "What do we Want? Dead Cops! When do we want them? Now!"
In anti-police demonstrations since, another chant has been, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon."
This is pure hatred, and as it is directed against white cops, racist.
Obama should tell Black Lives Matter to stop the hate. But though he has shown no reluctance to lecture white America, he has rarely shown the same stern judgment with black America.
Now there is no denying that urban black communities are among the most heavily policed. Why? As Heather Mac Donald, author of "The War on Cops," writes of a city she knows well:
"Black people make up 23 percent of New York's population, but they commit 75 percent of all shootings. ... Whites are 33 percent of the city's population, but they commit fewer than 2 percent of all shootings...
"These disparities mean that virtually every time that police in New York are called out after a shooting, they are being summoned into minority neighborhoods looking for minority suspects."
Monday, Donald Trump declared himself "the law and order candidate," and added: "America's police ... are what separates civilization from total chaos and destruction of our country as we know it."
And Clinton? On Friday, she said, "I'm going to be talking to white people. I think we're the ones who have to start listening."
Prediction: If Black Lives Matter does not clean up its act, Obama and Clinton will have to throw this crowd over the side, or the BLM will take her down.

It is pretty amazing (not in a positive way) how many of these race-related riots have happened under the President people were saying would heal racial tensions. Racial tensions are far worse than anytime in my lifetime.
Cute, but you can't pin BLM and any of their shennanigans on Obama. BLM would have happened if President Whitey McCracker had been elected instead.
Not so long as conservatives continue to give the impression that black lives don't matter.

Oh, I agree -- but I believe he hasn't tried in any way to calm it down. Quite the opposite. The media is to blame as well.
Also -- I don't think our next President will do anything to help it either.
Cute, but you can't pin BLM and any of their shennanigans on Obama. BLM would have happened if President Whitey McCracker had been elected instead. The reason is technology: camera phones have made it possible to capture bad police behavior, whereas in the past it was always the suspect's word versus that of the police.
I suspect that If Obama came out and condemned this hate groups speech and actions we wouldn't be even discussing them now. What he did is invite them into the oval office and gave them legitimacy. Just recently he has anointed them with praise and comparison to the cilvil rights movement and the woman's rights/suffrage movement.
Again, as in an early post I alluded to, these politicians couldn’t give a toss about this group, minorities are just a voting block to be thrown a bone now and again.
All lives matter to us, we don't make exceptions based on race... like ya'll do.
You sound like you're speaking from a place of informed and specific knowledge, and not at all like you're throwing out bumper sticker rhetoric entirely lacking in tangible substance.
This election, in my view, will feel zero impact from the BLM organization. The dye is already cast and Hillary Clinton will be the next President, unfortunately. Donald Trump is an imbecilic asshole and the absolute worst possible candidate for the seriousness of the political times. I'd be surprised if he wasn't slaughtered in this election with Clinton taking over 300 electoral college votes.
The aftermath - the coming 4 years of her term in office - will be drastically affected by BLM and could potentially see the race riots of the 60s and 70s and/or the late 90s come again to major American cities. That would be a tragedy. And I see Hillary Clinton as being entirely ill prepared and ill suited to handle it.
Get ready.

I’m sorry you feel this way, maybe you are just misinformed. Yes, Obama did have an oval office meeting with some of the prominent leaders of the BLM, this is fact. Yes, in recent statements Obama compared the BLM to the Suffrage movement and civil rights movement, again another fact.
As for my claim of a voting block, you may want to go back to LBJ and his statement of having those ( insert -N- word) voting Democrat for the next one hundred years.
I do understand that facts are uncomfortable, but I am not naive enough to disregard them.
She will handle it with the competence and sophistication she displayed with her emails. She will push for more global liberalism federalization of the police and the further erosion of our rights.
America will be $30T in debt after 8 years of Hillary and all but flushed down the toilet.
Your first paragraph is spot on. Your second...not so much.
