While reasonable people can disagree, that doesn't seem to apply here. President Obama favors a bit more collective reading of the 2nd Amendment, as SCOTUS precedent held for, oh, two centuries. The "johnny come lately" rendering of the 2nd Amendment (Justice Scalia) will be re-adjudicated soon enough. However, unless a person is a "one issue" type, or a person who cannot hold his liquor or his politics without animosity, the speech was balanced.

I cannot think of a more appropriate example why the elective process is so vitally important this time around. If people like you get their way America will realize the total transformation of Obama's vision, and Hillary will carry the water for him; Not to mention that of Bernie Sanders, as she stood there nodding continually like a mindless bobblehead, ready to agree to anything he could dream up just to get his endorsement. Surely the RNC will make a political ad of that incredibly transparent moment in history.

If by balanced you mean he first appropriately eulogized the slain of Dallas in the first half of his speech, then used the second half to again legitimize the actions of the shooter, BLM The NBP and other anti-authority groups as justifiable, you are correct. The police departments across this land do represent the interface between government and the lawless, they do not represent the interface between government and "the people." And a move to nationalize police would in my view, be yet another precursor to being ruled, rather than being the free people that we are.

And the left need to make up their minds on the separation of Church and State. Obama standing there preaching to us that he knows we, each of us, are either secretly or privately prejudiced, is a matter for the Church to address, not a President. 190 days, 11 hours and 24 minutes till he mercifully vacates the White House.
