........... Q Mr. President, (inaudible) Jacob Blake? And do you believe the shooting was justified?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we have the pastor here, whos tremendous. Hes a tremendous gentleman. Im going to meet him in a little while. He represents the family. And I think its probably better off if thats handled locally right now. Its under investigation, as you know. So I think its much better. I actually suggested we handle it locally.
I was going to speak to the mother yesterday. I hear shes a very fine woman. I was going to speak to her. But then I heard there were a lot of lawyers on the phone. I said, I have enough lawyers in my life. I dont need to get involved with that. I spoke with the pastor. The pastor is going to see me in a little while. He is really a terrific guy, if you know him. Hes a terrific guy. So, I look forward to that.
But were going to this is going to heal very quickly. Were going to help them from an economic standpoint, and were going to make a contribution to your law and to what we call law and order. Some people think those are two terrible words: law and order. And theyre not terrible at all. Theyre beautiful. They have to be used judiciously. They have to be used properly. ............................

(57,504 posts)The owner of an old Kenosha camera shop refused to pose with Trump, saying Trump was using him and his shop for political gain. So Trump had the former owner of the shop pretend to be the current owner for a photo op.
