short while ago? >> the toe focus, would the parents get the answers, did michael brown suffer and the answer was no and while i think that registered with the parents, today the reaction is one of anger, anger at the police. the naacp addressed the looting and shooting and the whole bit, several people were injured last night in the shootings during the news conference earlier. >> we can chew gum and walk at the same time and deliver justice and at the same time protect the residents living there and provide them the resources they need and interface with the businesses and provide them the resources they need. >> and you know, so many of the businesses are boarded up even though they have signs saying they are open.

can't see and know everything that is going on. but apparently there was a molltav cocktail thrown and had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd. this is before the mid night curfew. about 8:30 time. there were a lot of people here. a lot of children were here and the police had to use it for crowd control and after that things were chaotic. >> do you think that the police are justified with the use of the tear gas to disperse the crowd? >> i'm not a public safety expert, but from what i can tell it is a good reason to disperse tear gas, especially for the public safety concerns. what would quell a lot of this if they would charge and arrest the officer that did this. this is the outcry from the community.

>> now, before last night's chaos, a local church over flowed with people. >> they came from miles, thousands of people with a number of stories and united for justice for michael brown. most of the crowd never made it inside of the church and listened out on the radio. her 15-year-old son a killed by the st. louis county police in 2012 and police say he pointed a rifle at the officer. she's here for her son and mike brown. > it is bringing back the bad memories. the cases are similar. this has to stop. it can't keep going. it don't stop here. if we don't do something about it, it is going to continue to happen. >> for those going inside, they saw michael brown's

you are able to hear the anger. feel the outrage and see the sadness. sunday was no different. >> so here is where we stand, two autopsies are performed on the body of a michael brown. the first by the medical examiner's office and the second by dr. bodden. he needs a clearer picture of the body after the shooting, so far the results are matching the witnesses accounts. >> the question could the wound occur from walking around and he turns around? it is consistent with that. the arm is a mobil part of the body and could have occurred when putting his hands up, i put up my hands and you see where the wound is at. it could have happened if the arms in a defensive manner.

we don't know. >> also, why the first autopsy is so important. >> the most important autopsy is the first one, the body is not disturbed yet and within the chain of custody and that is the most important one in documents the physical findings and the gun powder and the clothing and they are preserved in the documentations and photographs and additional information from the second or third autopsy is always scrutinized because the first one you cut into the body and washing the body and taking the samples of the tissue. >> the president cutting short his vacation and back in town for two days of meetings and the run was planned before

other fighters are waging this battle, but of course with the help of the u.s. military, the u.s. air force are up in the skies, we hear the planes and they are targeting the islamic state positions, and it is difficult to control the dam, because what we understand is that the islamic state group booby trapped and explosive devices and advancing is difficult and there is progress on the ground. the forces recaptured three towns and the three kilometers from the town. >> there are 17 ebola patients missing in liberia today. they were being treated and attacked by an angry mob yesterday. they broke down the door of the clinic and calling the ebola a hoax. they fear that the escaped patients and the equipment could further spread the virus
