| A British man has pled not guilty to charges that he tried to steal a police officer’s gun to shoot Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. | |
| 20-year-old Michael Sanford, from the town of Dorking in England, was arrested and taken into custody at a Trump rally at the Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas on 21 June after trying to grab the pistol at the hip of a police officer protecting Trump, according to a report by the secret service. | |
| Sandford stood wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit with his federal public defense attorneys during his brief arraignment. He responded “yes, I do” when US magistrate judge Cam Ferenbach asked whether he understood the nature of the charges against him. | |
| After he was arrested, Sandford told officers that he had intended to kill Trump, and said that he had purchased tickets to another event later that day in Phoenix, Arizona, as backup. He had driven to Las Vegas from San Bernardino, California, that day specifically to shoot the Republican nominee, the report said. | |

| “The death of Alton Sterling is a tragedy, and my prayers are with his family, including his five children,” Clinton said. “From Staten Island to Baltimore, Ferguson to Baton Rouge, too many African American families mourn the loss of a loved one from a police-involved incident. Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin. | “The death of Alton Sterling is a tragedy, and my prayers are with his family, including his five children,” Clinton said. “From Staten Island to Baltimore, Ferguson to Baton Rouge, too many African American families mourn the loss of a loved one from a police-involved incident. Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin. |
| “I am glad the Department of Justice has agreed to a full and thorough review of this shooting. Incidents like this one have undermined the trust between police departments and the communities they serve. We need to rebuild that trust. We need to ensure justice is served. That begins with common sense reforms like ending racial profiling, providing better training on de-escalation and implicit bias, and supporting municipalities that refer the investigation and prosecution of police-involved deaths to independent bodies. All over America, there are police officers demonstrating how to protect the public without resorting to unnecessary force. We need to learn from and build on those examples. | “I am glad the Department of Justice has agreed to a full and thorough review of this shooting.
