Donald Trump Says He Is Troubled By Tulsa Police Shooting
DONALD J. TRUMP: Well as you know, I am a tremendous believer in the police and the law enforcement, because we need that for ourselves, we do, we really do. And I have gotten the endorsement of so many different police groups. And they are great people, they are great people.
Now, great people, you always have problems. Somebody in there that either makes a mistake, that is bad, or that chokes.
I must tell you, I watched the shooting in particular in Tulsa, and that man was hands up, that man went to the car, hands up, put his hand on the car. To me it looked like he did everything you're supposed to do.
And he looked like a really good man -- maybe I'm a little clouded because I saw his family talking about him after the fact, so you get a little bit different image maybe. But to me it looked like someone who was doing what they were asking him to do.
And this young officer, I don't know what she was thinking. I don't know what she was thinking. But I'm very, very troubled by that. I'm very, very troubled by that. And we have to be very careful.
So, these things are terrible. In my opinion, that was a terrible situation. And we've seen others. And the police are aware of that too. By the way, the police are troubled by that too, the police see it too.
Was she scared? Was she choking? What happened? But maybe people like that, people that choke, people that do that, maybe they can't be doing what they're doing. They can't be doing what they're doing.
So we all respect our police greatly, and they will just have to get better and better and better.

Donald Trump Remarks at Church in Cleveland Heights CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — There are just seven weeks until the November election, and Republican candidate Donald Trump is making another stop in Northeast Ohio Wednesday.
Trump and vice presidential candidate Mike Pence will take part in a discussion with pastors at the sanctuary of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights around 9 a.m.
Following that meeting, Trump will participate in the taping of a town hall discussion focusing on issues affecting African-American voters.
It will air on Fox News Channel program “Hannity” on Wednesday night.
The church’s pastor, Dr. Darrell Scott, said the event was moved to Cleveland from Columbus on Sunday to provide adequate space for the taping of the Fox News town hall.
Scott is a long-time Trump supporter and friend who delivered a passionate speech at the Republican National Convention in July.
Scott said he expected several hundred pastors from across the state to attend, with all pastors and church leaders welcome, regardless of political party.
