louisiana of altonster sterling. liz. elizabeth: will carr, thank you so much. leland? leland: these folks are certainly dedicated as they took the plunge to show support, they say. a group of people swam across the border yesterday to show their support for immigrant and human rights. swimmers from the united states, mexico, israel and south africa were among the 12 athletes to make the swim in the pacific ocean from imperial beach, california, to tijuana. if you re counting, that is 6.2 miles. how do you carry your passport when you re swimming? elizabeth: maybe you get a waterproof case. leland: yeah. that guy s happy. elizabeth: all right. coming up after the break, a father of five killed in a random act of violence in las vegas. and the gop bill to repeal
we have the media doing it, the democrat party, even fellow republican candidates correcting the questioner. donald trump s worry, my worry is the failure to call the problem what it is. we have a president who has called islamic extremist workplace violence, random act of violence. i m asking the questioner said we have a problem in this country, it is muslims. they didn t say it s islamic extremists. it generalized about muslims in general. why not challenge that bigotry? the questioner asked a three-part question. there were three things donald trump could have responded to. he chose to laugh off the question. he was dismissive about it, turned his head, didn t get involved in this discussion, which he doesn t have to get involved in this discussion. it s probably not a good discussion to get involved with all together. instead he focused on the real problem, the problem that affects everyday american people. there are isis training camps training people with islamic theology,
conclusions by linking deputy go forth s death to black lives matter. we tried to book someone on the show. a black lives matter organizer but she cancelled her appearance late last night. earlier today, though, activist deray sat down with cnn to talk about the shootings. i ll paraphrase. he said it s disappointing that the sheriff s deputy is continuing to accuse an entire group of people for a random act of violence. tensions do exist between hmany police officers and the communities they serve. on saturday protesters held a march in minnesota to raise awareness for victim s killed the hands of police. they were heard chanting pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon. joining me now to talk about david titus, the saint paul police federation. he s on the phone and former

matter. earlier today an activist spoke to cnn and said he believes the sheriff is unfairly placing blame. it s disappointing that sheriff hickman has continued with this prejudicial policing where he made these statements before any investigation is actually taken forth. the only charge rhetoric of the movement has been about holding officers accountable, fair police contracts and independent investigators and body cameras. that is the only rhetoric of the momp movement. it has been specifically about ending violence. hickm hickman s statements again are prejudicial. he s not conducted an investigation yet but he s accusing an entire group of people for a random act of violence. so tom, i know you said the sheriff wasn t accusing an entire group of people, but the black lives matters movement thinks the sheriff was definitely doing that. but, again, you re right, tensions do exist between if i could add to that. i want to get into what happened in minnesota because this is i
