US Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Police Violence

Justice Department team walks in LYNCH: Good morning, and thank you all for being here. Before we begin, I want to take a moment to mention Captain Robert Melton – a 17-year veteran of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department who was shot and killed in the line of duty yesterday while responding to a call about a drive-by shooting. Our hearts go out to Captain Melton’s family and loved ones, and to all those who are suffering in this time of grief. This devastating loss is yet another painful reminder that our courageous officers put their lives on the line every day in order to serve the public – not only in times of heightened tensions or during ambush scenarios, but always. The Department of Justice is committed to doing all we can to support our officers at every level and to keep them safe from harm – and we will continue to advance that work and to keep that promise even as we mourn the loss of our fallen colleague and friend.
