Lynch Calls for Stronger ‘Bonds of Trust’ After Dallas Shootings
- Killings of police and of black men have heightened tensions
- Attorney general also faces questions about Clinton e-mails
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch called for stronger “bonds of trust” between law enforcement and the communities they serve following the killing of five Dallas police officers and continuing protests against police nationwide over shootings of black men.
“At the same time that we’re working to support police and citizens in their efforts to build stronger and more united communities, we remain committed to keeping those communities safe and secure,” Lynch said in testimony prepared for a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. “We will continue to offer our state and local partners funding, training, and technical assistance for critical programs and assets like body-worn cameras, de-escalation training, and education in implicit bias.”
