leaders pushing an agenda for election and not representing the police officers, the brave people who walk on planet earth and for them to be portrayed as murderers and killers when utilizing deadly force in justifiable situations is heartbreaking to me. i wish people would think through their behaviors, the way they believe police are acting before they jump to judgment and do ignorant things like poisoning police officers and pushing negative rhetoric. jillian: your thoughts on that scenario? >> the same person that created this orphic concoction would call 9 one one for police officers to the scene, them or a family member. that rhetoric driving us backwards and not forward. this is the time we need to unify behind police as opposed to separate from police and subsequently impacting that this
