it. >> everybody seems to feeling horrified across the nation, almost unified response to all of the incidents that have happened in the last few days, you know, not only the dallas shooting last night, but baton rouge, minnesota, everybody just outraged by it. it seems like it is something across the nation we're seeing the same reaction at what point do we come together to deal with it? >> reporter: so many people once again talking about the violence this last week, and people from far away, those ladies, one of them, the mother, was from washington state. just want to give you an idea, you are all here, you didn't know i was going to come up to you, but how are you feeling about the tragedies this week? >> it is really sad. >> yes? >> yes, did you come and look at some of the headlines yourself? >> yes, we were here this morning, crazy to see all of the defendant rent papers had everything about the dallas news. >> where are you from? >> sacramento, california.

protesters, that have really, that group is only a handful of people, has grown in just the last minute or two. i'm here now with one of the very first people to arrive. this is gabriela, telling me you came in from prince george's county. why did you want to be here? >> well, i think mainly why i want to be here because triple minority, african-american, hispanic, i'm woman. i stands for black lives and black lives matter, not just a protest march but also a movement, and to show people can co-exist, come together, stand for what they believe in. and also to show that like we stand with what happened to the police officers and their families, like there is no like one side, like we all come together and just be here in unity. >> right. i think that's an important point, on media and tv. you don't have to pick a side. you can only be pro black lives or pro-police. you can be equally outraged with the violence that we've seen in minnesota, louisianna, as well as in dall a. >> yes it, doesn't have to be a war on black america or war on police.
