Obama Calls For Calm After Three Police Officers Killed In Dallas Shootings

111412-politics-barack-obama-press-conferencePresident Obama has called for restraint after three police officers were shot dead in the city of Baton Rouge in Louisiana.
The gunman, Gavin Long, an African-American who had served for five years in the Marines, was also killed.  He had posted videos on the internet complaining about police treatment of African-Americans.
Tensions in Baton Rouge have been high since a black man Alton Sterling was shot dead by police two weeks ago.
That death – and a second police shooting in Minnesota – sparked protests across the United States and triggered a revenge attack by a black army veteran who shot dead five officers in the city of Dallas.
In a live broadcast from the White House, President Obama called upon all Americans to unite and refrain from divisive language.
