> i think it is rudy giuliani. this is the man that i know, that i admire and respect as a former prosecutor. he is a leader. this is what he has been saying and talking about on this channel, getting the message across. i think it was incredibly helpful to trump and his message of make america safe again. i'm the law and order candidate. let me kick this off by having rudy giuliani that lead-off. it is a very good, start. >> i think it played better among the delegates than it did on tv, because as i said, i felt like he was screaming at me. but the thing that worries me here, oh, make america safe again. guess what, republicans, america is safe right now. if you listen to greg, when we're arguing about guns. america is safer today than it was in the 1950s. >> the more guns we have, the safer it is. >> there you go. >> they keep saying we're not safe, we are not safe. >> they're talking about safety, not talking about gun control, gun violence. what they're talking about right there is national security safe. >> n

he got a big applause line, rudy giuliani did. we talk about unity, he unified the crowd here as he talked about the private donald trump. melania trump will do that same thing and introduce again this idea of the personal donald trump to tamp down those worries others have about him. >> we have received an advanced copy of melania's speech and the speech she says in part that donald trump will bring kindness, love and compassion to the whitehouse. >> melania herself talks about being an emgrant, becoming a u.s. citizen in 2006. we'll hear more of that indeed. we want to go more on the convention floor who has been talking to a number of delegates. gayle i understand these delegates are very anxious to hear from the trump family. >> this is michelle, she's from rochester new york. this is her first convention as a delegate on the floor. she'll be talking about melania trump's speech. you said you're looking forward to hearing from her tonight, why. >> we need to see the side of melania trouble and see the person he wakes up with t

john, what do you say of rudy giuliani's fiery speech on the convention floor? >> take no prisoners. >> yeah. >> it's hard to believe rudy giuliani was once a democrat and even supported george mcgovern for president. come full circle. this was a searing indictment of hillary clinton's leadership capabilities, her record in office, and of course barack obama, the person who hired her as secretary of state. this was red meat for the audience. >> i was just going to say the same thing. he spoke to the base for donald trump. and one would have to judge by viewing the people on their feet applauding him throughout that speech that he delivered exactly what donald trump had been hoemg he would do that particular night for the opening night. so how does it look going into this as donald trump tries to declare himself as a law and order candidate and then hearing that through the eyes or the perspective of rudy giuliani? >> well, i think the convention has to strike a balance. on the one hand, there's all kinds of renneses to go after hillary clinton and indirectly bar

rudy giuliani is bringing down the house. melania trump has her big night, but not without controversy. nice. i'm bill hemmer. how you feeling? martha: day two is on. i'm martha maccallum. donald trump is not expected to speak until later in the week. watch this. that was something. we are the champions blaring in the background. some cam paired it to a wwe moment. it had a television feel to it. he was like a rock star entering the stage. he introduced his wife melania. mrs. trump delivered one of the biggest speeches of the night. she was there to tell the full story of her house, the man he is and shoe she sees him with stories of her own upbringing. >> my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond, and you do what you say and keep your promise. that you treat people with respect. they showed me values and morals in their daily lives. that is a lesson i continue to pass along to our son. and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow

i mean, rudy giuliani is a longtime friend. i think he helped him a great deal talking about the fact that he gives money to charities anonymously and all of this sort of thing. i mean, i think that was very helpful here because he came from -- it came from a friend who's not a family member, who's had a lot of experience with him and whom everybody knows. >> i think what the kids do, and i've talked to them, as have you, is talk about the values of donald trump rather than stories, per se, because when you talk to them about growing up trump, they'll tell you about coming over to the office and being invited by their dad to the office all the time while he was working, and so it was a different kind of childhood. but what they will talk about and speak to is the importance of family, as melania did tonight, and that the fact that he always had time for them. even if it was on his turf, he always said, okay, come over, this is important, no matter what he was doing, he would stop doing it. and so that's the part of trump that w

he got a big applause line, rudy giuliani did. we talk about unity, he unified the crowd here as he talked about the private donald trump. melania trump will do that same thing and introduce again this idea of the personal donald trump to tamp down those worries others have about him. >> we have received an advanced copy of melania's speech and the speech she says in part that donald trump will bring kindness, love and compassion to the whitehouse. >> melania herself talks about being an emgrant, becoming a u.s. cen we'll hear more of that indeed. we want to go more on the convention floor who has been talking to a number of delegates. gayle i understand these delegates are very anxious to hear from the trump family. >> this is michelle, she's from rochester new york. this is her first convention as a delegate on the floor. she'll be talking about melania trump's speech. you said you're looking forward to hearing from her tonight, why. >> we need to see the side of melania trouble and see the person he wakes up with the morning, s

attorney for the southern district of new york, rudy giuliani. mayor, you watch that, wow, you put them next to each other and you really see how many times she misled the public or lied. >> that's what you call evidence of guilt. evidence of intent. consciousness of guilt. that's the way we prove it as prosecutors. this whole analysis that james comey did of intent is totally erroneous. we don't prove intent because somebody writes down i'm going to go do an insider trade. we prove intent by the act and then the person destroys records, the person conceals records, the person has two sets of books. that's all the circumstantial evidence from which the judge charges the jury, you can infer that the person had the intent to commit the crime. there are at least 16 pieces of evidence from which i could argue to a jury that she intended to commit that crime. >> how does it make you feel when james comey says no good prosecutor would bring a case like this? you were a prosecutor, would you have brought this case? >> no good prosecutor would not bring

i thought rudy giuliani ruled the night. you may not have liked his speech, but he had the crowd with him. he had great big with applause. everybody else, i think, paled in comparison to rudy giuliani. now we're talking about melania. i didn't think the speeches were that great. maybe i'm the only one. we'll discuss that and.continue the controversy around what appears to be certain sectionses of the speech that were lifted from another speech. we'll be right back. can we call this had cnn after dark or cnn this morning? ♪ thirsty? my friend said i had to earn my way to the cool table. oh, sweet jamie. you got to stick up for yourself, like with the name your price tool. people tell us their budget, not the other way around. so i was at the cool table all along. ♪ ♪ (click) (whistle) tracfone 90-day plans start at twenty bucks, with no contract. and give you talk, text and data with unlimited carryover. it was amazing! that's ninety days of nothing-but-net (buzzer) for less. america's largest and most dependable 4g lte

trump introducing melania and rudy giuliani's speech when he addressed terrorism. the most retweeted tweet was hillary clinton's. she sent out a quote from giuliani in 2010 when he apparently said that clinton was doing a good job. clinton then added, republicans have a lot of nice things to say when it's not an election year. thanks, mayor giuliani. >> his speech was quite fiery, as well. abc's powerhouse political team is there in cleveland with exclusive reporting throughout the day and evening including a live special report to all time zones at 10:00 p.m. tonight. you can find a livestream of the convention on abc news digital. >>> shifting gears no thunderstorm battered the northeast. a 26-year-old was killed in new jersey when downed wires fell on her car as she was trying to get out of it and uprooted many trees knocking out power for thousands of people. and there were several heavy hailstorms in new england yesterday like this one in phillips in the southern part of the state. a tornado was also reported in northern maine near the canadian border. >>> and

let's not forget rudy giuliani at his core is a prosecutor. he was a damn good one. he had to make a delicate case. we are all united in the country. all the same. all lives matter. at the same time, there has to be law and order. that means if the police do the wrong thing, there has to be accountability. that is what sheriff said last night. you need transparency and accountability. they say it fast and low. they get back to the big theme. someone is taking the country from us. that came out loud and clear. where did it go? it went the same way the education system and the justice system and jobs. it went to the different set of people. >> i think there was a bigger theme. you touched on it. taking something away from us. that sense that a lot of americans who are here or are representing voters who are here. feel the country is headed in the wrong direction because of the economy and activism throughout the country which left people behind. whether it is immigration or you have activism around law and order issues, there is a fear and anxiety and people are having

rudy giuliani had a strong speech. you have law enforcement folks who are saying america is not as safe with hillary clinton at the helm. listen to a bit of that. >> ladies and gentlemen, i would like to make something very clear. blue lives matter in america! >> what happened to there's no black america. there's no white america. there is just america! what happened to it? where did it go? how has it gone away? >> donald trump talked about a divided america in making reference to what has been a real division between police and black lives matter protester. what do you make of that? >> i think the message is not likely to heal that. it is likely to make it worse. when people say all lives matter. blue lives matter. they know that and it antagonizes people who say black lives matter. it is just a defensive slogan. it fits into the theme of the night. which is negative, negative, negative. hillary has to go to jail. she killed four people in benghazi. the syrian refugees are coming to get us. this is not a pro-active or

former mayor rudy giuliani. nice to see you. you're coming under fire for comments that you made the other day in the wake of these shootings. this is something that you're used to dealing with, but here's the quote that you put out the other day on nbc. let's teach everyone including the children that the police officers are the reason you're alived. black kid are going to shoot you on the street because that happens more times than police officers. of course, your response this morning was that, the response is that you're a racist now. >> well, if stating the truth is being a racist, then we're in a sad situation in this country. what i just said, what you just quoted, has statistically been the case for all my years in law enforcement. when i was mayor of new york, i took over 1,921 murders the year before i was mayor and brought it down to 500. mike bloomberg down to 300. i calculate i saved about 7,000 or 8,000 black lives, bloomberg and i together, maybe 12,000. there's no two mayors that saved more black lives in any cit

thank you, and god bless you. [ applause ] [ chanting "rudy" ] >> mayor rudy giuliani. now, the mayor has just informed me as he is going to graciously stay for a couple minutes and he's going to answer three questions from the audience. we know he has a busy schedule. before we get the questions, just a moment of personal privilege here. mayor, i was telling the mayor as he walked ip, i'm a kid that grew up in new york city. and some people know me, i did not grow up with a family of means. and when i was younger, i went to high school. i graduated high school in 1988. i moved to florida in 1996. and growing up as a kid in queens, we hardly ever went into manhattan, new york city. because of the crime rate, we were afraid -- my father used to say, just please don't go to manhattan because i want to make sure that you return. under this man's -- and i'm going to say it -- leadership, he not only turned around new york city, but made new york city thrive and prosper to the point when i first went back after i moved to florida from new york city, and i went into manhattan

i disagree with mayor rudy giuliani. >> a growing racial divide. and "black lives matter" is making it worse. i got to go. >> i disagree. >> and we'll talk about it again. >> and we'll have you on again. we come back, 12 peace officers, two civilians, victimins of the dallas terrorists. we'll find out about them in just a few moments. you won't see these folks at the post office. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. get a 4 week trial, plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. announcer: are your children in the right car seat for their age and size? it may be too late to check when you're on the road.

i have to tell you the powerful speech of the night was rudy giuliani. he spoke about race relations and law enforcement and how they are there to help save people in the streets, and also talks about the message of one america. i think that's so important. that's the message donald trump is definitely pushing through this convention. we can't forget of course melania trump her story as an immigrant coming to america talking about hard work and kindness and compassion, talking about her husband as really being one who can do great things for america. it was such a diverse group of speakers for the first night. it set the stage for what i think is going to be a very powerful and uplifting convention. >> really emotional night. i agree with that, such a powerful moment when he talked about the police officer, doesn't matter what religion or color they are, they go out and protect. >> not once has rudy giuliani spoken at a republican convention and not have people on their feet. he's a fantastic communicator. he knows what we need to do to keep america safe

nicole: former new york mayor rudy giuliani. >> it's time to make america once again.

but the winner besides melania was definitely rudy giuliani. he was able to provide such a balancing message talking about the racial tensions, as well as the fallen -- police who we have lost in the line of duty. it was just so -- he brought everyone to their feet. he talked about one america. >> it was such a powerful message. david quickly your thoughts on the night. >> melania hit the home run. last night's focus was her. she did an outstanding job. for people who maybe were thinking about donald trump, she certainly has opened the door. and what i heard most last night in the hall was people are fired up about hearing the children now. ivanka and the two sons. and who better than the family to tell people who donald trump is really like and really setting the stage for his speech on thursday. >> all right. david, mercedes, we'll leave it there for now. thanks for waking up so early for us. but don't go far. we'll see you again. also sean smith's monether, ver powerful speech. and it wasn't just about the speeches last night, there was some

>> no. >> this whole thing is straightened up. >> rudy giuliani -- rudy giuliani is cracking up over here. >> what? >> as you're saying all of this. >> rudy used to be a federal prosecutor. rudy understands, and you need to check this with him. in any normal circumstance, a normal american who did what hillary clinton did they'd be in jail. they won't be in philadelphia. and then, this idea -- one last step if i can. it's so crazy. i'm very preached to say when the north koreans go after an american corporation we have to ask ourselves what the rules of the game are going to be. we have to understand the difference here. great powers in cyber are the united states, china, israel and russia. they all survey each other. anyone who thinks they don't is foolish. we probably know more about the other countries than anyone else does. we really irritated the germans. i want us to listen to the germans. >> so do i. i'm sure we do. probably with you should not put chancellor merckle's yoga on the internet. >> thank you, mr. speaker, that is very good. two new political ads put out by the grea

that is of course america's mayor, rudy giuliani. rudy? [applause] i want to thank you for letting me do this introduction because for 45 years i've been putting up with this man's bad italian jokes. [laughter]. and this is going to give me my opportunity to get back. and i -- [applause] i had planned to really take him apart at this breakfast but my wife won't let me and she's here and she kind of likes him and i don't know why but that's the way it is. you know years ago i remember peter coming to me and saying that you know, he wanted to serve and i said that he would be much better serving as a waiter than -- [laughter]. but he insisted on running for congress and so he did. and he was successful. ladies and gentlemen, it has been a real pleasure to have a man of his stature in my county and working with me on a day-to-day basis. he is truly a wonderful person. he's a person that has a passion for people, and that, my friends, is something that not everybody has. he wants to help people. he enjoys that. that's what he does. i could tal

rudy giuliani says he would have tried to nick her on u.s. code 793, paragraph "f." what do you think comey's thinking was? was it, look, i do have the power to end this candidacy today, or look, we're going to run up against some very good lawyers if we do bring this case, and it will only be protracted and awful, and we could lose? what was his thinking? >> director comey's widely admired by everyone in both sides of the aisle. and so, i don't profess to know. i know that rudy sounded shocked. i will say that it reminds me in part of chief justice roberts' decision in the obamacare case where he appeared to leave it to the political branches to decide what is more important to them. and so, it's being left up to the voters. for him to have indicted or to have recommended indictment would have ended secretary clinton's campaign after she had won and after this was well known. so, instead of ending the campaign, he just added damning detail after damning detail, again, especially on national security and lying. and her biggest negative is on those two. so, then they

sheriff david clarke and rudy giuliani bringing down the house. >> i would like to make something very clear. "blue lives matter"! in america. [cheers and applause] so many actions of the occupy movement and "black lives matter" transcends peaceful protests and violates the code of conduct we rely on. i call it anarchy. >> when they come to save your life, they don't ask if you are black or white! they just come to save you! what happened, what happened to, what happened to there is no black america, there is no white america, there is just america!? what happened to that it? [cheering] where did it go? sandra: another emotional highlight of former navy seal marcus luttrell, so passionate what he had to say on that stage, he ditched the prompter, listen. >> i'm so used to speaking from the heart when i have to read this it goes wrong. so i'm going to go. you ready? [cheering] not only dot leaders have to step up and support us but the family. those of us we're all family. we back them up too. not only that we hold them accountable for every position and office they hold. either way, on

i mean, rudy giuliani screamed his entire speech. we had the audience made to clear the notes in the freddy grain based. they're sort of hostile. if you're a person of color, this is a weird place to be and then melania trump comes out and includiveness. then it is it melania, is it donald trump, is it somebody in the campaign? >> that's a good question. it's going to be perhaps to text melania trump. plagiarism can only be -- number one, show that the party is unified and be talking about unity. you were there with what you saw at 4 p.m. on the floor today. the other thing is to show there's more to him than the public doesn't see. what are we going tock talking about on day two about that? nothing. >> it probably doesn't matter -- it's not an additive day and this doesn't help. >> we'll see more trump family members so they'll all know be under a let scrutiny . >> particularly for big night speeches, for emotional speeches and thing like that. in this case when matt lauer was on the plane, all the white leather, talking to melania

jon: let's hear from rudy giuliani, former mayor of new york. he had to say on foxand friends monday . >> i understand the other side. i don't mean not to talk about the other side of it but because the other side is the only thing that cbs, nbc, abc, the new york times, the daily news, that's all they write about. the american people get the wrong impression and black lives matter therefore puts a target on the back of police. jon: the point is that his police force when he was mayor tried to save everybody's life. >> you have situations like abner louima who was violated. you have out duly although, shot a number of times. you had serious incidents in your community, they would stop and frisk which made young black men feel so vulnerable they could not walk down the street. they were stopped by the diblasio administration. that's the dynamic taking place in the community. >> those are dramatic individual cases the world knows about and then there are millions of other lives that were improved like stop and frisk but those communities of color

we should note former new york mayor rudy giuliani will call in to the "halftime report" shortly with his reaction to the fbi director the comments. stay tuned for that. >>> how big is political risk in the markets now? talk about everything else, risks all around the world. australian election, election in spain. how about here? >> i am not a political analyst, full disclosure, i have attended a donald trump event, donated money to a pact for donald trump. that's full disclosure. what i will say, as it relates to the business environment, business fixed investment in 2015, 2.9% growth. business fixed investment, 2017, 3% projected. so far year to date tracking at a negative 1.7. impacting the economy, the capital markets and the conversation about corporate tax reform, which was supposed to be the tailwind of the beginning of the year. that's evaporated. >> okay. >>> ahead on the "halftime report," is europe on the verge of a banking crisis and how worried should you be about american banks taking a hit now? separating fact from fiction with a top analyst. >>> and groundhog day for t

rudy giuliani is bringing down the house. melania trump has her big night, but not without controversy. nice. i'm bill hemmer. how you feeling? martha: day two is on. i'm martha maccallum. donald trump is not expected to speak until later in the week. watch

you have to listen to a guy like rudy giuliani. community-based policing. at any time draw a distinction between race. all lives matter. protect them in all boroughs. thankfully rudy giuliani will join us on the couch in the 7:00 a.m. hour. call him a racist. he said, of course, he's just calling it like it is. >>> meanwhile, this is going to be a very big week for politics. we're a week away exactly before the rnc starts in cleveland. there you see donald trump shaking hands on april 20th with mike pence, the governor of the great state of indiana in indianapolis. according to "the washington times" that is the source of the reportage. there is a 95% possibility and probability that donald trump is going to say mike pence is going to be my running mate. >> well, guess what, if that's the case, we're going to find out this week because mike pence has until friday to -- >> noon. >> -- at noon to declare whether or not he's going to run for governor or if he's going to be the vice president. >> donald trump saying i'm not going to announce until i'm on the st

of course, as chris mentioned, we'll be having addresses from rudy giuliani, mayor of new york, one of the first to criticize the black lives matter movement, along with sheriff david clark, very critical of that movement. that's a crucial part, david gergen. he may leave the tough talk to others but there will be incredibly tough talk in the context of what just happened in baton rouge and dallas. donald trump has been -- and his speakers tonight, these are speakers who have criticized black lives matter. >> absolutely. i think he can turn it around tonight. if this is well organized. i think they scrambled to put together sort of law and order evening so they can cover the full range of issues that are out there. this could be very, very well done. to come back to the melania speech, i think that will be the highlight of the evening, likely to be. worth remembering in the last republican convention four years ago, the most memorable speech of the convention was by ann romney. >> by far. >> remember that? she came out and told us stories about her husband that we had not heard before.

that happened with rudy giuliani and his job is to really motivate the crowd. >> when he was speaking during the last convention he was criticized for spending too much time talking about himself. >> yes. >> instead of the president obama. your thoughts on whether he'll turn that around and be much more energized like rudy? >> he certainly heard that criticism. i think that tonight you'll see different speech on out of him. and also that he has been very close to trump now through many weeks of this campaign. i think that he will get in there and really try to get that crowd going. >> what do you expect to see from donald trump and his daughter tiffany? >> i think that you'll hear a family story. a story about the father. >> that is donald trump jr. on the right and the left. >> right. i think that he's got to tell that story that this is sort of part ii of my -- melania trump. it is nice to have that element because it humanizes donald trump. >> they will get a chance to speak, ivanka will be a very powerful person for her father. >> they have been along with all of these other peopl

i can't ask andrea for opinion judgment but i can ask you about the point rudy giuliani just made. if he's right how can it be that james comey who, really, in his bearing, and in his manner walked right out of a scouting manual how can it be right that james comey had a lapse in judgment on this? >>. >> i thought it was an interesting exchange. i wonder if donald trump will mention it and i wonder if they will go further and suggest that there was undue influence. it's not much of a leap in terms of an argument to make, a political argument when you have attorney general lynch acknowledging that it looked terrible for bill clinton to have hopped on her plane last week. is i would not be surprised if that is an argument we hear donald trump make tonight. i think he certainly is not someone who does what i described last time we talk, reel in the a millimeter. he's someone who goes for the gusto and that would be this argument taken to its fullest and most frontal political fighting. >> there must be some celebration that the republican party doesn't have a lock on craziness this te

. >> and we see rudy giuliani on the podium. he's riling up the crowd as well, as we wait for donald trump. this convention, just a little bit behind schedule. i want to go with tom llamas, who has been with mr. trump since the beginning of the campaign. he'll be out in just a few minutes. perhaps to give a brief introduction to his wife, perhaps to go on. >> this is right. i've never heard donald trump give a brief speech, even on saturday, introducing governor mike pence, he spoke for nearly 30 minutes. he said tonight would be a brief speech, and melania trump is ske scheduled to speak for about five minutes. always forceful, reminding voters about how strong her husband is. but trump the husband, the father, they want voters to get a better understanding of who trump the man is. we may hear that tonight. sources say she has practiced this speech with the same kind of teleprompter she will have tonight. >> and cokie roberts, she will be the first foreign-born first lady if trump is elected since m mrs. adams. >> yes, but the

>> that was former new york city mayor rudy giuliani making a very passionate case for donald trump at the convention last night also getting a lot of because, melania trump's speech last night. joining me in cleveland, nbc news senior political editor mark murray. mark, to be fair, the first comments after melania trump spoke were, wow, she pulled it off, she did a nice job, she said great things about her husband. then it was within an hour that we got word that some of it sounded a whole lot like michelle obama. paul manafort with the trump campaign said on cnn "to think she would be cribbing michelle obama's words is crazy." on cbs he said melania knew what she was doing which seemed to be blaming her and at the morning briefing he says it's about the media focusing on trying to distort her message. it's now 3:22 eastern time. where do we find ourselves in the cycle of this mini controversy? >> it's a bunch of spin and whiplash that we're going through and also the trump campaign and also talking about how it was somehow the clinton campaign's fault as well as a lot of the spin so

with us now is former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. i want to ask you about former speaker newt gingrich said. >> i agree largely with the sentiments of elijah cummings. we have to look differently at race if we're going to change it. we've been looking at it the same way 20 years and here's where we are. first i want to say my deep sympathy for the peep of minnesota, people of louisiana, people of texas and dallas and i'd like them all to remember though the incidents happened in different ways they all share together as americans. we share the violence together as americans. so maybe whites have to look at it differently and blacks have to look at it differently. whites have to realize black african-american men have a fear and some may consider it irrational but it's a reality and exists and there's a second reality in the black community and the second reality is there's too much violence in the black community. a black will die 1% or less at to the hands of the police and 99% of the hands of a civilian, most often another black. s

i don't know how rudy giuliani knows the law, but it sounded like mr. comey was making a strong prosecutorial case and then backed off. look, to john harwood's point which i think is extremely important, for the moment she gets a legal pass, but not necessarily a political pass. let me add this, there is a separate investigation going on of the clinton foundation. and that investigation includes bill clinton and this whole rig ma roll about going on to the airplane last monday and then won't release e-mail tapes for clinton's -- hillary's top four people regarding discussions with the clinton foundation. that stuff's still out there. and that has not yet been evolved. having said all that, let me get this said, look, republican party, they're going to take whacks at hillary as they must. but, but, but, this is just my view, this election is going to be fought over the economy, wages, jobs, growth and it's going to be fought over islamic jihadism and terrorism and security. and i don't think the gop should completely obsess about hillary's legal position

rudy giuliani is a well-respected voice on the right. black lives matter has become an important voice to many african americans in this country. is there any way of bridging that divide and view, obviously mayor giuliani has a hardened view about this. commissioner bratton you first and then secretary johnson. >> the reality of the black lives matter movement is significantly focused primarily focused on police and their efforts to portray police and the police profession in a very negative way, which is unfortunate. there is no denying within the police profession 800,000 of us, that we have racist brutal people and criminals, cops who shouldn't be here but do not represent the vast majority of american police who every day as exhibited in dallas the other evening put their lives on the line for blacks, for whites, for everybody. so in terms of some of the comments made by the mayor, appropriate in the sense of the intent and goal of black lives matter, every life matters to american police and the issue of racism, it's historic and th
