Are woundeds one critically. One gunman has been killed and Authorities Say no others are believed at large. This latest aaction comes as the subjects of Race Relations, gun control, law and order, terrorism, all are playing part in the republican effort to regain the white house and storm Hillary Clinton as politics plays into this. We have team coverage, and mike tobin is on streets with protesters having the Security Team on high high her. James rosen has politics and Donald Trumps characterization of himself as the law and order candidate. We start in baton rouge and the breaking news, three dead Police Officers with an investigation underway. Will carr is this. Will . Yes, authorities confirmed the man who shot six Police Officers was 29yearold gavin eugene long originally from kansas city and the motivation is unknown and we do not know what brought him to baton rouge, but here is what we do know. Witnesses say at 8 20 this morning, they saw long dressed in all black carrying a rifle. A short time later, shots were fired in the exchange. Three officers were killed. Two baton rouge city officers and a deputy with the Sheriffs Department all in their 30 and 40s and all married with families. Three other officers were injured and one is still fight forly life. Take ato the Baton Rouge Police chief and the sheriff both of whom lost men today. We will get through this as a family. We will get through this as a community. I want all of the officers to know i support you every single one of them i stand but, i stand beside you and we are going to get through this and we will get through this together. It is not going to tarpish this city or this department. To me this is not so much about gun control as about what is in mens hards. Until we come together as a nation, as a people, to heal as a people, if we dont do that and this madness continues we will surely perish as a people. Long was shot and killed with the exchange with members of Law Enforcement who responded to the shooting. We are told there are no more active threats and at the press conference a couple of hours ago authorities did not elaborate on whether there were any other suspects out there or not. At the same time, they put out a number to call the f. B. I. In anyone sees anything suspicious to look for answers, with calls for afternoonty, both here on the local level and on the national level. The mayor said that the hate has to stop. President obama coming out and addressing the nation say that his thoughts and prayers are with the families ripped apart. Will carr in baton rouge. President obama said the louisiana gunman will not be the last to try to americans turn on one another. The president was speaking a short time ago saying there is no justification for the attacks we as a nation is to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against Law Enforcement. Attack on police are an attack on all of us. The rue of law that makes society possible. All the president blamed aroundtheclock news cycle and social media for amplifying the divisions among americans. The massive security operation in cleveland is facing the prospect of multiple protests along with other dangerous possibilities not announced, radical islamic terrorist attacks like those in europe are on the mind of Security Officials and violence at whom like in dallas and today in ybarra. It all poe as threat to the convention. Mike is on the streets here in cleveland. Demonstrators have been out and about. Mike . Yes, among the permanent and unpermanent groups that show up here we have the Westboro Baptist church, the new black panthers and bikers for trump who say they will show up armed despite the emotional environment account violence in recent days, no one is stopping them. A man showed you on the street in cleveland armed today because the open carry law in he said he can. [ inaudible ] amid the demonstrations ahead of the g. O. P. Convention and a nation shocked at violence from racial tension that is not changing. The p requested governor john kasichs suspend the open care laws and the governor responded that he is not allowed. A spokesman added that ohio governors do not have power to arbitrary suspend material and state constitution aol rights but the patrol Man Association president notes that open carry is suspended in the secure zone around the quicken loans arena. Are you telling me that lives of the delegates are more important than threes of our officers and the people here, he asked and then added in the governor is not going to do everything he can to make officers in the state including his state troopers safe, shame on him. Cleveland city fours are move forward with the expectation that guns will be rent and the emotional crowds of demonstrators. We tray to get across to people you carry the when you have the right to do it but you have responsibilities to the john public and people around you to make sure everyone else is safe. Hundreds of believes from across the nation have taken an oath to serve, and it is easy for them to be after prelicensive at the convention of the were on regulations, with black lawyers for justice speaking of the dallas shooter, Micah Johnson and some shouted hero him his actions were foreseeable and predictable and if we kept seeing the mood of the people as i said to my speech, the blood of the innocent black people murdered this is predictable that someone would rise up and kill Police Officers. City leaders say the attacks in nice did not change their massive security man out here spending time doing drills examining emergencies. It was a crude attack it would be something already considered. Thank you, mike tobin, from the streets the going nominee to be donald trump declared himself the law and order candidates officers saying he is trying to stake out ground on violence perpetrated again the people in charge of our safety. James rosen is here in cleveland with that part of the story. Baton rouge, dallas, orlando, on top of terrorists attacks and crises abroad, violence often tinged at home with racial tension has americans on edge. And has returned the theme of law and order to a rome innocence in american politics that it has not head in decades. Donald trump was first to respond to baton rouge attack on police posting how many Law Enforcement people have to die because of a lack of leadership in our country, we demand law and order. I am the law and order candidate eight hours after the shots rang out, before Hillary Clinton responded with a statement calling the shootings an assault on all of us and urging americans to reject violence. Following two other emails where the campaign promoted upcoming appearance in las vegas and mocked the g. O. P. Convention lineup. We do need to support our Police Departments that are trying to get it right and honor the men and women who protect us each day. Clinton has more emphasized Police Brutality against African Americans. Yes, they do. And taking on the systematic racism that plagues our consult trump has not ceded that ground. Not only am i the law and order candidate but i am also the candidate of compassion. Believe it. Recently, crime in this country has green nine times as fast as population. The last time a president ial candidate rode that issue to the white house was nixon, in the year of 1968 when like today the issues of street violence, Race Relations and war abroad frayed the nerves of the american emelectorate. To rebuild respect for law across the country. I want through 1968 when 101 cities caught fire and blew up and the whole nine yards and you had black panther movements all over the place and we could not go back there again. They were shooting cops. Two recent polls find nbc news and abc give Hillary Clinton a huge lead over donald trump when it comes to who better handles Race Relations but both organizations find more than twothirds of americans are seeing the country headed down the wrong rack and among those who feel that way in the abc poll donald trump enjoyed a 25 point advantage. Thank you, james, from cleveland. Now the atmosphere here at the convention. Race relations, security, and trying to keep everyone safe and calm, former president ial canidate Mike Huckabee is with us. On phone we have trump supporter and Convention Speaker a pastor who was supposed to be here. Your reaction, today, in baton rouge and what the president said in his message today. I was encouraged that the president used the occasion to focus on the absolute, unacceptable, horrible behavior of killing cops and did not politicize it with edge months of with messages of gun control as he usually does with these shootings. And i thought the sheriff in baton rouge was so powerful because he showed his emotion and reminded us this is a spiritual issue. You cannot legislate people not to hate someone. You sure can make sure that when people take their hate to action you adjudicate them and deal with it effectively. Pastor, how do you think donald trump will deal with the issue of race . If you talk to the democrats they say the African American community is 100 behind Hillary Clinton and that essentially they have that demographic with respected up. In the wake of this tension and the wake of shootings, how does he deal with it . First, let me just say my hearts go out to the families of the Law Enforcement, that is an atrocity, the soul of america is hurting. I agree with governor huckabee i am very thankful the president gave wores that would not politicize the nation. Donald trump is not pandering after a particular race. Donald trump is focusing on issues that will affect not just one race but the human race here in the United States of america. Poverty knows no color. Isis knows no color. Poverty does not care if you black or white or hispanic or young or old. We need jobs. We need security. We need what would have take were place and i am not able to be with you because i am stuck on the side of street because of the massive professors coming through here. This is a sign this our nation desperately needs to come together under god. We need to have a candidate that is turning back toward god and that is, without a question, donald trump, who believes that christianity is under attack and we need to bring the nation back to god. Pastor buns we appreciate you being on the phone although you cannot get through the security, governor, you mentioned the sheriff in baton rouge who said this is not such about gun control but what is in a man office heart. It is tough to get your head around as to how to deal with that to make us safer. We have spent two generations trying to absolutely remove mention of god whether in school or bible reading even in cleveland, a billboard to promote god is not dead, was disallowed because it said i would rather be judge by god than people. That did not make it but a showing ted cruz and donald trump in a lib lop kissing is okay, and another welcome to cleveland, on of pa of eighthives is okay, so we are reaching what we have sown and we wonder why we have no sense of moral capacity and sense of i am my brothers keeper that is how we have been as a nation. Not anymore. Until we get to that why thing we will see a great change. Can you not legislate that is in peoples mines and hearts. Pastor buns you say donald trump is the unity candidate and he is not as credit is say, divisive in race or social or economic status, are you making that case from the podium . Without question this is, donald trump is the unity candidate. Listen i know what racism is. I have said this since i began to support donald trump i have from the deep south. I am married for a beautiful white woman, and we have six beautiful brown mix babies and i know what real ratism was i was refuseed service because of the color of my skin. I know racism and it is not donald trump. Donald trump of althoughs american. He loves people. And it is sad to me to see how the media plays over and over and over that he has haze tread of women or racists. This is a fabrication of liberal democrats continuing to coach us divided where we are go cussing on the colors that divide us and nut focus on the colors that unite us. It is notationist to be proud it is not racist to be proud to be an american. Governor, what do you think as you hook at the week, what will come out of it and your hope that will come from it . It will be a week of bring unity to the power, the lets dump Trump Movement has failed miserably and any attempt to revise it meets these people look silly. It was a solid and smart choice because he brings so many things to the ticket in of good easterning at the washington level and the state level and understands why we have to get back to a recognition and respect for the 10th amendment so the pens choice is solid and safe and not cause a lot of controversy and brings the party together. Thank you, gentleman. We see you in a bit. We will preview the convention and the from expects of what may lie ahead in security and the politics of how this plays out this woke with chris wallace, and charles krauthammerer. I thought i married an italian. Did the ancestrydna to find out im only 16 italian. So i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. This is my ancestor who i didnt know about. Thats why i run on quickbooks. Details. I use the payments app to accept credit cards. And everything autosyncs. Those sales prove my sustainable designs are better for the environment and my bottom line. Thats how i own it. This is not so much about gun control as it is about what is in mens hearts. Until we come together as a nation, as a people, to heal as a people, if we dont do that and this madness continues we will surely perish. This has happened far too often. I have spent a last time with Law Enforcement this past week. I am surrounded by the best of the best every day. I know when this happens, wherever this happens, you feel it. The president and also the sheriff in east baton rouge, louisiana, racketing to three officers killed today, three wounded, one in critical condition, donald trump issuing by facebook and twitter reaction early on saying we grieve for the officers killed in before before today, and how many Law Enforcement and people have to day before we have the full screen action, i believe is what he said and he has another tweet later on where he said that the country is a crime scene divided crime scene. The first one that i read. We will bring in our panel of journalists. We have an allstar panel, charles krauthammer, chris wallace, and brit hume senior bill analyst. Brit, very thoughts on baton rouge and as this has developed how it all fits . When you have this kind of discord and loss of life, killing in the streets, officers being killed, that disorder favors the out, party in a president ial election much it is the can date the out, party that can appear to be the law and order candidate, as donald trump is say he is. That obviously a help. The question for donald trump is, when people look at donald trump and watch him in action do they think there is a safe candidate . Or do they look at him and say, i dont know he is unpredictable. That is the challenge. And the opportunity for him. We did not hear from Hillary Clinton and the campaign put out a statement saying, essentially what the president said expressing condolences. Your thoughts on the fall out . I go back to San Bernardino in december, december 2nd. The attack in intern dough, six days later donald trump called for the ban on muslims coming into the country and said until we know what the hell is going on and we helped today and were stunned to hear of another pose shootihought, what hell is going on . This i dont play very, i hate to say it, the legal back, a terrible humid tragedy, this could be a strong issue for donald trump. We do not know what the hell is going on, i will be a bull washington against that, i will be strong against that. The muslim ban we thought would be popular and stepped too far it was hugely popular with the republicans and i go to what brit said he has to be strong and steady and he puts out tweets saying our country is divided crime scene we are not at civil war, which are terrible tragedies happening and frankly, you could get one individual with a powerful life people and 24 hour News Coverage and it becomes a Huge National story. Worry not a decided rhyme scene. That is the question, can we strike the right tone, i will stand up, i will wreck the country . But, also, a steadiness . All the first tweak was about greening for families and that is the focus, the three families who lost the Police Officers, their loved ones. As we heard from our local historian, charles, james rosen the last time law and order was used was by president nixon. In his campaign, in 1968. He worked for nixon and work for wallace and he invented the idea and nixon took it, successfully won the election but you have to give it substance. What is the policemen thing to do is, also be what is the statesman like thissing to do and the president is not doing. He is the familiar in chief and the one who speaks for sanity and reconciliation but the ron problem is as with terror he creates it as an incident. We need to hear not Something Like there is in way to justify to kind of shooting, but who things that . How defensive . Of course there is not. That is not even an idea. The question is, what are we going to do . What he could do to give the police around the country a sense their back is being covered, is to say this is no lon
