>> this is the america i know. i see people who have protested on behalf of criminal justice, grieving alongside police officers. i see people who mourn for the five officers lost, but also weep for the families of alton steer -- alton sterling and philando castile. in this audience, i see what's possible. i see what's possible when we recognize that we are one american family, all deserving of equal treatment. all deserving equal respect. all children of god. that's the america i know. i am not naove. i have spoken at too many memorials during the course of this presidency. i have had too many families who have lost a loved one to senseless violence. and i've seen how a spirit of unity more than of tragedy can gradually dissipate. overtaken by the return to business as usual. bite inertia, and old habits. and expediency. i see how easily we slip back into our old notions because they are comfortable. we are used to them. i have seen how inadequate words can be in bringing about lasting change. i've seen how inadequate my own words have been. so i'm reminded of passage from john's gospel. let us love not with words or speech, but with actions and in truth. if we are to sustain the unity, we need to get through these difficult times if we are to honor these five outstanding officers, who we lost, then we will need to act on the truths that we know. and that's not easy. it makes us uncomfortable. but we're going to have to be honest with each other and ourselves. we know that the overwhelming majority of police officers do an incredibly hard and dangerous job fairly and professionally. they are deserving of our respect and not our scorn. >> [ applause ] >> and when anyone, no matter how good their intentions may be, paints all police as biased or bigoted, we undermine those officers we depend on for our safety. and as for those who use rhetoric suggesting harm to police, even if they don't act on it themselves, they not only make the jobs of police officers even more dangerous, but they do a disservice to the very cause of justice they claim to promote. >> [ applause ] >> we also know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subjugation, and jim crow, they didn't simply vanish with the end of lawful segregation. they didn't just stop when doctor king made a speech or the voting rack -- voting rights act and civil rights act were signed. race relations have improved dramatically in my lifetime. those who deny it are dishonoring the struggles that helped us achieve that progress. >> [ applause ] >> but america, we know that bias remains. we know it. whether you are black or white or hispanic, or asian, or native american, or of middle eastern descent, we have all seen this bigotry in our lives at some point. we've heard it at times in our own homes. if we are honest, perhaps we've heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts. we know that. and while some suffer far more under racism's burden, some feel to a far greater extent, discrimination's stain, although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent. no institution is entirely immune. and that includes our police department's. we know this. i'm so glad african-americans from all walks of life, different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive as unequal treatment, when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently, if you are black you are more likely to be pulled over, searched or arrested. more likely to get longer sentences. more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime. when mothers and fathers easier kids right, and have the talk about how to respond to being stopped by a police officer, yes sir, no sir, but still fear that something terrible may happen when their child walks out the door? still fear that kids being stupid, not quite doing things right, might end in tragedy when all this takes place more than 50 years after the passage of the civil rights act. we cannot simply turned away and dismiss those in peaceful protest. they are troublemakers, paranoid ? >> [ applause ] we can't dismiss it as political correctness or reverse racism. to have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends and coworkers, fellow church members again and again and again, it hurts. surely, we can see that. all of us. we also know what chief brown has said is true. that so much of the tensions between police departments and minority communities that they serve is because we asked the police to do too much and we ask too little of our citizens. >> [ applause ] >> as a society, we choose to under invest in decent schools. we allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospects for gainful employment. >> [ cheering and applause ] >> we refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs >> [ applause ] >> we flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a glock the and get his hands on a computer or even a book. >> [ applause ] >> and then we tell the police, or social worker. you are the parent. you are the teacher. you are the drug counselor. we tell them to keep those neighborhoods in check at all costs. and do so without causing any political blowback or inconvenience. don't make a mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind. and then we same surprise when periodically, the tensions -- we feign surprise when periodically, the tensions boil over. we know those things to be true. they've been true for a long time. we know it. police, you know it. protesters, you know it. you know how dangerous some of these communities where these police officers serve our and yet you pretend as if there is no context. these things, we know to be true. if we cannot even talk about these things. if we cannot talk honestly and openly, not just in the comfort of our own circles, but with those who look different than us, or bring a different perspective, then we will never break this dangerous cycle. in the end, it's not about finding policies that work. it's about forging consensus. and fighting cynicism. and finding the will to make change. can we do this? can we find the character, as americans, to open our hearts to each other? can we see in each other, a common humanity and a shared dignity? and recognize how our different experiences have shaped us. it doesn't make anybody perfectly good or perfectly bad. it just makes us human. i don't know. i confess that sometimes i also experience doubt. i've been to too many of these things. i've seen too many families go through this. but then i've been reminded of what the lord tells ezequiel. "i will give you a new heart," the lord says, "and put a new spirit in you. i will move from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." that is what we must pray for, each of us. a new heart, not a heart of stone. but a heart open to the fears and hopes and challenges of our fellow citizens. that's what we've seen in dallas. these past few days. that's what we must sustain. because with an open heart, we can learn to stand in each other's 'shoes and look at the world -- each other's shoes and look at the world through each other's eyes. maybe the police officer sees his own son in that teenager in a hoodie, whose goofing off but isn't dangerous. maybe the teenager will see in the police officer, the same words and values and authority as his parents. >> [ applause ] with an open heart, we can abandon the overheated rhetoric and the oversimplification that reduces whole categories of our fellow americans not just to opponents, but to enemies. with an open heart, those protesting for change will guard against reckless language going forward. look at the model set by the five officers we are mourning today. acknowledge the progress brought about by the sincere efforts of police departments like this one in dallas. embark on the hard but necessary work of negotiation. the pursuit of reconciliation. with an open heart, police departments will acknowledge that just like the rest of us, they are not perfect. insisting we do better to root out racial bias is not an attack on cops, but an effort to live up to our highest ideals. >> [ applause ] and i understand these protests, i see them. they can be messy. sometimes, they can be hijacked by an irresponsible the you. police can get hurt. >> [ applause ] >> protesters can get hurt. they can be frustrated. but even those who dislike the phrase "black lives matter." surely, we should be able to hear the pain of alton sterling's family. >> [ applause ] >> when we hear a friend describe it by saying that whatever he cooked, he cooked enough for everybody, that should sound familiar to us. maybe he wasn't so different from us. so that we can yes, insist that his life matters. just as we should here the students and coworkers describe their affection for philando castile, as a gentle soul. mr. rogers with dreadlocks, they called him. his life mattered to a whole lot of people of all races and all ages. we have to do what we can without putting officer's lives at risks -- risk but do better to prevent lives like hissed -- lives like his from being lost. with an open heart, we can worry less about which side has been wronged and worry more about joining sides to do right. >> [ applause ] >> the vicious killer of these police officers, they won't be the last person who tries to make us turn on one another. the killer in orlando wasn't. nor was the killer in charleston . we know there is evil in this world. that's why we need police departments. >> [ applause ] >> but as americans, we can decide people like this killer will ultimately fail. they will not drive us apart. we can decide to come together to make our country reflect the good inside us. the hopes and simple dreams we share. we also glory in our sufferings. because we know that suffering produces perseverance. perseverance, character. and character, hope. for all of us, life presents challenges and suffering. accidents, illnesses, the loss of loved ones. there are times when we are overwhelmed by sudden calamities. natural or man-made. all of us, we make mistakes. and at times, we are lost. and as we get older, we learn we don't always have control of things. not even the president. but we do have control over how we respond to the world. we do have control over how we treat one another. america does not asked us to be perfect. precisely because of our individual imperfections, our founders gave us institutions to guard against tyranny. and ensure no one is above the law. a democracy that gives us the space to work through our differences and debate them peacefully. to make things better. even if it doesn't always happen as fast as we would like. america gives us the capacity to change. but as the men we mourn today, these five heroes, who knew better than most. we cannot take the blessings of this nation for granted. only by working together, can we preserve those institutions of family and community, rights, and responsibilities. law and self-government. that is the hallmark of this nation. it turns out we do not persevere alone. our character is not found in isolation. hope does not arise by putting our fellow man down. it is found by lifting others up. >> [ applause ] >> and that is what i take away from the lives of these outstanding men. the pain we feel may not soon pass. but my faith tells me they did not die in vain. i believe our sorrow can make us a better country. i believe our righteous anger can be transformed into more justice and more peace. weeping may endure for a night but i'm convinced, joy comes in the morning. >> [ applause ] >> we cannot match the sacrifices made by officers. but surely, we can try to match their some -- their sense of service. we cannot match their service but we can strive to match their devotion. may god with their memory. may god bless this country that we love. >> [ applause ] >> the president of the united states addressing those that attended the memorial service for the police officers killed in dallas last week, challenging americans in his words "to open up our hearts to each other." the president also rejected the notion that this country is divided at this hour and mentioned the dallas police department has been on the forefront of better policing and really thanked police chief david brown for his service. >> he says officers do the work of drug counselors, parents and teachers. he says we cannot match their sacrifice, but certainly their heroism should inspire all of us. we turn now to our fox correspondent outside this service with what you've been learning. >>reporter: good afternoon. obviously, a very sad day. the white house saying president obama personally wrote many parts of this speech, staying up into the wee hours of the night. you can tell it is touching him on a personal level, showing a very vulnerable, compassionate, human side saying he himself experiences doubt and has clearly been to too many of these things, referring to sandy hook, orlando. of course, the church shooting in south carolina. really showing a human side, at one point saying the dallas attack is as if the deepest faultlines of our democracy were exposed. the president himself says he rejects the notion that our country is divided. he says he has experienced things himself as both the president and a black man in this country and says we would be kidding ourselves if we didn't accept the fact that bigotry exists but he says clearly, we need to work on that and as far as the police go, he says there is only a few bad police officers but the majority are good and well intentioned police officers and that they commend -- command our respect and not our scorn. at one point, even saying it's easier for a teenager to get his hands on a glock in some places than a computer or a book. really personal to the president. he is stupefied by that and once this racial divide to be bridged. he says that all depends on us talking about the service of these police officers, saying perhaps we as americans can emulate that service in our own way to help heal this entire nation. he also mentioned, it's important to note, all five officers by name talking about how some of them are fathers, newlyweds, some served in the military. one was an avid texas rangers fan. that also came from george w. bush, who also spoke. he talked about how dallas is his home now and how it hurt his family. but at the end of the day, president obama really invoking optimism saying we are not perfect. racism exists. he knows firsthand we as americans, if we're not kid sitting -- getting ourselves, that we must unite. there is all this talk in dallas of love and compassion and kindness and some people think at times that's corny, but the president coming out and saying that is the only way to overcome this rasul -- racial tension. some pundits thought for sure the president would get into gun control. president obama trying to curb access to guns. but really, he stayed away from that today and i think that will surprise people within the beltway. >> earlier in the service, i was listening to the mayor, michael rallings, speak. some very powerful words. can you speak about your time in dallas about the importance of his role and his leadership there in the city over the last five days?>> reporter: he is very well respected. at one time, you heard president obama talking today about mayor rawlings and chief david brown. of course, the police chief of the dallas police department. i was reading some stories about him. he lost his brother and his son to violence. he has experienced this first hand as well the president obama said the mayor is white, and the police chief is black and they are working together. crime is down by like 64% according to president obama since those two have worked together and the murder rate is down substantially. he says we've got a white mayor, a black police chief. it's not affecting this city, it's actually making the city stronger. let's use that as an example. >> thank you. a quick note as the service is ongoing. we continue to show that on ktvu plus. the latest on draymond green's weekend arrest in michigan. >> the paperwork followed by his attorney and what usa basketball is now saying about the incident. a slight drop in temperatures today but we will talk to you about when to expect another round of heat. and the national park service's oldest ranger back at work several weeks after being attacked during a home invasion robbery. a nice afternoon in store. temperatures are a bit cooler around the bay area. it has to do with the stronger onshore breeze and widespread clouds. a live look here from across the
