The most retweeted tweet during the third day of the Democratic National Convention was posted by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"Shooting deaths of police officers up 78% this year," Trump tweeted.
"We must restore law and order and protect our great law enforcement officers!"
Trump's tweet was retweeted more than 13,000 times and liked by more than 39,000 users.
The GOP nominee often praises police and law enforcement on the campaign trail. He has also said he thinks officers in this country are treated "so unfairly."
On Wednesday, the GOP nominee slammed the Democratic Party for not addressing issues relating to police and law enforcement during its convention.
On the third night of the Democratic Convention, Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and President Obama spoke.
