Capping off his weekend of inflammatory comments after the Dallas police shoot- ing, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani called Black Lives Matter “in- herently racist” and “anti- American” - and even incorrectly claiming that black children have “a 99% chance” of killing each other.
Appearing on CBS’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday, Giu- liani had little to say about the deadly police shootings that sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and na- tionwide protests — includ- ing the one in Dallas that was ambushed by a cop killer.
Instead, he said it is up to the “Blacks” to show respect

to police officers. “If you want to deal with this on the Black side, you’ve got to teach your children to be re- spectful to the police, and you’ve got to teach your chil- dren that the real danger to them is not the police,” Giu- liani said.

Speaking from Madrid, President Obama said the Black Lives Matter movement shouldn't be judged by the actions of a few non-peaceful protes- tors. At the same time, he said a serious, respectful tone is needed to bring about real change.
Marchers make their way to the state capitol in Baton Rouge, La., Sunday, July 10, 2016, less than a week afterAlton Sterling was shot and killed by- police.
The Black Lives Matter movement that's arisen in response to police shootings of black men is part of a long line of protest movements that have transformed America for the better, President Obama said Sunday, defending the protests amid renewed ten- sions over race and policing across the country.
But he also acknowledged that those debates are often "messy and controversial," and urged protesters to "maintain a respectful, thoughtful tone" after a week of deadly shootings — both of African-American men by police and of police officers by a Dallas gunman.
Pres. Obama cut short his four-day trip to Europe and instead will go to Dallas Tuesday to speak an an in- terfaith prayer service, the White House announced Sunday. He'll also devote most of the week working on police issues, aides said.
Pres. Obama has spoken about the events of last week four times in the last three days, even as he's juggled an
important foreign trip with NATO allies in Warsaw and Spanish leaders in Madrid. But Sunday's comments were focused on the social media-fueled protest move- ment that has has brought national attention to the issue of police shootings.
And they came the day after DeRay Mckesson, a prominent Black Lives Mat- ter activist, was arrested at a protest in Baton Rouge. That's where police shot and killed 37-year-old Alton Sterling in an incident caught on video and widely shared on social media last Tuesday — the first of three incidents that brought issues of race and policing explod- ing back into the headlines.
On CBS's Face the Nation Sunday, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani called the Black Lives Matter movement "inherently racist" and that police feel it "puts a target on their back."
"They sing rap songs about killing police officers and they talk about killing police officers and they yell it out at their rallies and the
police officers hear it," Giu- liani said
Pres. Obama con- demned the more extreme voices, while defending the movement as a whole.
"In a movement like Black Lives Matter there are al- ways going to be folks who say things that are stupid or imprudent or over general- ized or harsh," Pres. Obama said after meeting with acting Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
"Whenever those of us who are concerned about fairness in the criminal jus- tice system attack police of- ficers, you are doing a disservice to the cause," Pres. Obama said, calling violence against police a "reprehensible" crime that needs to be prosecuted. "But even rhetorically, if we paint police in broad brush with- out recognizing that the vast majority of police officers are doing a really good job and are trying to protect people ... if the rhetoric does not recognize that, then we're going to lose allies in the re- form cause."
