What a spiteful SOB.
Six Dayton police officers who stopped a shooter last month after he killed nine persons were awarded the nation's highest decoration for bravery of public safety officials Monday morning by President Donald Trump.
"Who knew, and who can even understand, how many lives would have been taken if they didn't act so quickly?" early Aug. 4 in the city's Oregon District, Trump said in the East Room of the White House.
"Few people could have done, and would have done, what they did," he said, calling the group "unbelievably exceptional Americans."
Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley tweeted, "So proud of our fearless @DaytonPolice. They exemplify #DaytonStrong in so many ways."
But even though Whaley was in Washington, she was not tweeting from inside the White House.
The Democratic mayor, who has been harshly criticized by and critical of Trump, was not invited.
