You know, very clearly in this country, we expect law enforcement to conduct a full and professional investigation, and that investigation should follow the evidence to its logical conclusion.

possible, like any other time law enforcement uses force, it's possible it could be lawful.
We should allow the investigation to run its course to its logical conclusion.
I know there's several videos that are online.
I have seen at least one of those videos.
And I know it has been very alarming to a lot of people in the community.
This is a tragedy.
I think there's no ways about this.

I responded to that scene myself very shortly after the initial call came in that there were shots fired involving law enforcement.
And I saw really dozens and dozens, if not maybe a few hundred, federal agents ultimately at that scene.

We should be doing...
everything in our power to ensure our professional responsibility.
