Trump calls for racial unity, embraces 'stop and frisk'

Thursday, September 22, 2016: PITTSBURGH - Lamenting a 'lack of spirit' between whites and blacks, Donald Trump encouraged racial unity on Thursday even as he called for one of the nation's largest cities to adopt 'stop and frisk' policing tactics that have been widely condemned as racial profiling by minority
leaders.

The Republican presidential contender, eager to blunt criticism that his campaign inspires racism, confronted racial tensions after police-involved shootings of black men in Oklahoma and North Carolina. The North Carolina governor activated the National Guard overnight after another night of violent protests.

Trump, as he has for much of his unorthodox presidential bid, offered a decidedly mixed message as he confronted the delicate issue.
