“We need to try, as best we can, to walk in one another’s shoes”, she said.

Ribble says instead Trump spoke only of himself and simply lectured members about getting on board with his campaign.
He says in an early morning tweet: “Prayers and condolences to all of the families who are so thoroughly devastated by the horrors we are all watching take place in our country”.
But he also referenced the two black men killed in recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota, saying they make clear that work “must be done to ensure every American feels that their safety is protected”.
“We have got to figure out what is happening when routine traffic stops, when routine arrests escalate into killings”, Clinton said.
Meanwhile, Mother Jones reports that some of Trump’s Facebook followers are calling for a “race war” in the wake of the attack that left five officers dead.
Clinton, who is expected to become the Democratic nominee at the DNC convention this month, was scheduled to appear alongside Vice President Joe Biden at a rally in his hometown Scranton, Pa., where she was also supposed to hold a campaign fundraiser.
Clinton called for national guidelines on the use of force by police – and deadly force, in particular.
“And until we can have an open conversation both of how do you protect the police but also how do you protect the innocent I think we’re not going to solve this problem”, he said.
“It’s an objective reality that if you are a white parent with teenagers you have dramatically less fear of the police walking up to them than if you’re a black parent with black teenagers”, Gingrich said.
“They are all on my mind today, they are on everybody’s mind”, Trump said.
The British vote to leave the European Union, and electoral successes in Europe by populists, is part of “a worldwide movement toward really being angry at the establishment, really feeling cheated by the establishment, really feeling that government has failed and I think Trump is part of that worldwide movement”, he said. On Friday, she sought to align herself with some of the protestors, urging greater empathy from white Americans on the question of police brutality against African-Americans.
In an interview with CNN, Mrs. Clinton praised the slain Dallas officers and called the attack “an absolutely horrific event”.
Some prominent Republican lawmakers who have been critical of Trump’s campaign opted to skip the two meetings, while others who did attend found themselves sparring with the presumptive GOP nominee. “We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes on the street”, he said. “It is time for the hostility against our police, and against all members of law enforcement, to end – and to end right now”. “Somehow we’ve veered off of it in recent years”, she said.
The response to the shootings from some of Trump’s fellow Republicans was also notable.
When Trump made his comments “a number of people looked around at each other at that point with a little bit of a quizzical or curious eye”, Sanford told CNN Friday.

Peaceful except for the sniper shooting all those cops.
