The Obama administration has caused a "war on cops," a police group director said Friday after the murder of five police officers in Dallas.
"It's a war on cops," William Johnson, the executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, told Fox News Friday morning.
"And the Obama administration is the Neville Chamberlain of this war."
Johnson said the administration is allowing things to spiral out of control under President Barack Obama's direction.
"I think [the Obama administration] continued appeasements at the federal level with the Department of Justice, their appeasement of violent criminals, their refusal to condemn movements like Black Lives Matter, actively calling for the death of police officers, that type of thing, all the while blaming police for the problems in this country has led directly to the climate that has made Dallas possible," he said.
A
former Army reservist shot 12 officers during a demonstration protesting police shootings Thursday night. Five of the officers were killed and seven were injured. Two civilians were also shot and wounded.
The shooter was later
killed by police after he was cornered in a parking garage.
Former Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis said Friday the incident will force police nationwide to go into "military mode" at large gatherings like the one in Dallas.
