i know how deeply personally affected he has been. and i guess i tell you why i am doing this as a means of telling you why senator blumenthal and i are doing this, and i tell it through a prism of a story that just awful, awful series of days following the shootings in sandy hook. senator blumenthal and i went through the first of what were umpteen wakes and funerals, and we were standing in line at the first wake about to talk to the first set of parents who had lost in this case their young daughter, and i remember being so uncertain about what we were supposed to say to these parents, not just what you were supposed to say to provide some measure of condolence, but we were their elected representatives. we had some additional obligation to show them that we were ready to act, but was it too soon to make that offer? was it not the right moment to suggest that there was a public policy response to the slaughter of their children? it was senator blumenthal that very ge ....

at stake. earlier today bernie sanders took his campaign to east oakland where issues such as jobs, the economy, and police shootings are on people s minds. ktvu s rob roth was there and tells us sanders received a warm welcome in the inner city. reporter: cheers loud and enthusiastic erupted when bernie sanders took his uphill fight for the nomination to a baptist church in east oakland this afternoon. maybe it might be a little bit smarter for us as a nation to be investing in jobs and education for those young people rather than jails and incarceration. reporter: senator sanders appeared with actor danny glover and supervisor jane kim, but with the california primary just a week away, bernie sanders barely mentioned his rival, hillary clinton. any person in america who is killed while being apprehended by the police or dies in police custody, that should immediately and automatically initiate a department of justice investigation.
