President Obama addressed the two highly controversial police shootings that took place this week in a press conference Thursday, saying the incidents were "not isolated" but rather they're part of a "broader set of racial disparities" Alton Sterling was shot and killed by a police officer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana earlier this week and Philando Castile was killed in a separate incident by a police officer in Minnesota last night “When people say black lives matter, it doesn’t mean blue lives don’t matter,” the president said
