President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, in a meeting with law enforcement groups on Monday, discussed ways to support police officer training to de-escalate confrontations, the White House said, according to Reuters. Obama emphasized his commitment to enhancing public safety and reducing tensions between officers and the communities they serve, the White House said in a statement. The meeting follows the shooting deaths of five police officers in Dallas on Thursday during a protest against recent police killings of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana.
