Barack Obama actually said...

"Our law enforcement officers go to work every morning not for a big salary or a lot of recognition, but to protect our communities."

"I am also pleased that the bill includes my proposal to help thousands of African-American farmers get their discrimination claims reviewed under the Pigford settlement."

"Today, as we mourn the loss of our fallen heroes, let's also express our abiding gratitude to all the men and women in law enforcement who serve and sacrifice each day on our behalf."

"On this National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who lost their lives making our streets safer and our families more secure."
