Hillary Clinton condemned the police shooting of an unarmed black man in Oklahoma last week, using the incident to reignite calls for criminal justice reform and to highlight racial biases in policing.
In an interview on the Steve Harvey Morning Show Tuesday, Clinton called the shooting of Terence Crutcher, 40, "unbearable" and "intolerable." Video footage shows Crutcher was unarmed with his hands visible when he was shot by Tulsa, Okla., police officers after his car broke down along a rural road,
"This horrible shooting — again. How many times do we have to see this in our country?” Clinton asked. “In Tulsa? An unarmed man? With his hands in the air? I mean, this is just unbearable and it needs to be intolerable.”

Tom Steyer—the San Francisco billionaire, political donor and environmental advocate—said Tuesday he would put $20 million of his own money behind a campaign to mobilize 2 million voters in eight swing states to boost support for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

He said they'll be focusing on "economic justice, environmental justice, racial justice and good schools" and targeting 200 college campuses.

Donald Trump made an eye-popping claim on Tuesday when asking black voters to support him for president.
"Our African American communities are absolutely in the worse shape they've ever been in before," he said during a North Carolina rally. "Ever, ever, ever."
The statement overlooked the fact that slavery was legal for nearly a century after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.

As president, Donald Trump says he plans to employ one of his favorite business strategies -- using other people's money.
Not only does he promise that Mexico will pay for a wall along the border with the United States, he told a crowd in North Carolina on Tuesday that Arab countries would fund safe zones in the Middle East for Syrian refugees.
"It's called other people's money," he said. "There's nothing like doing things with other people's money. Because it takes the risk [away]."
