JAKE TAPPER, CNN ANCHOR: What is your message when you hear from minority communities in Texas who are concerned about whether or not they are being treated fairly?</s>KEN PAXTON, TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL: Well, I tell them they have a legitimate message that we need to listen to. But I think that's one of the great things that is coming about as a result of this. We have had this group called Operation Blue Shield, which is a nonprofit that has been involved and working with our police department here to make things right. That is why they were out there that evening protecting these protesters who were actually protesting against them. And then when it came time to protect them, they stepped into the line of fire and offered their lives. So, I do think that this has been a success. I think it's a great story for the future, and I think a model that can be used around the country.</s>TAPPER: That's right. There were all these very, very moving pictures of police officers posing for photographs with protesters the night of that horrific attack, showing the community and the police in Dallas, at least, are able to work hand in hand.</s>PAXTON: Yes. And I think that model should be passed on. Hopefully, because of the tragedy here, obviously, it's created a lot of publicity, and I'm hoping that people can learn from our example about what we have done well in Texas, what we have done well in Dallas. I think it's been amazing.</s>TAPPER: All right. Well, our thoughts and prayers are with the law officers of Dallas, Texas.</s>PAXTON: Thank you.</s>TAPPER: Thank you so much. Appreciate it, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.</s>PAXTON: Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.</s>TAPPER: Coming up: Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Mike Pence or two people no one is even talking about, that is what Donald Trump is now saying about whom he is considering as a possible running mate. So, who are these two mystery contenders? That story next.
