Casting a long shadow over the opening day at the Republican Convention, is another murder spree targeting cops. This time a 29-year-old black former Marine named Gavin Long, pictured above, fatally shot three law enforcement officers and wounded three other officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana yesterday morning. Ironically, the theme today here at the convention is "Make America Safe Again."

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards speaks for every American when he said, "The violence, the hatred just has to stop."

Listen to my 4-minute radio commentary below which also includes soundbites from Trump introducing Indiana Governor Mike Pence yesterday, Pence's gratefulness, and Christian football star Tim Tebow's rejection of the rumor that he will be a speaker here.
