http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-calls-national-anti-crime-agenda-amid-charlotte-unrest-n652711PITTSBURGH — Donald Trump on Thursday weighed in on the unrest and violence in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, calling it another sign that America needs "unity" and using it as an example of why "we need a national anti-crime agenda to make our cities safe again."
Trump said that the violence, broadcast the past two nights live on cable news, makes America "look bad to the world, especially when we're supposed to the world's leader." He also blamed drugs as "a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night," though it's unclear if Trump meant to directly link this observation with the situation in Charlotte.
