me completely... >> of the lives that were lost in the desert >> this is the most dangerous part of your trip... >> an emotional finale you can't miss... >> we got be here to tell the story. >> the final journey borderland continues... only on al jazeera america >> michael: this is al jazeera america. i'm michael yves. calls for calm and quiet. dozens arrested in ferguson, yet another night of protest. the city now urging residents to stay home at night and protest during the day. >> this is stopping them from moving forward. >> michael: the unrest in ferguson forcing schools to shut down for the week. thousands of kids impacted.

israel walks away from negotiations in response to rocket fire from governor schwarzenegger. from--from gaza. . >> a dangerous dynamic. the man leading the effort to control protests is calling for everyone to stay home tonight. that's because of this scene becoming routine. chaos under the cover of darkness and cleaning up during the light of day. there was more violence last night. [ sirens ] >> michael: despite calls for calm, a group of people that missouri highway patrol captain ron johnson called criminals, rober robert ray in ferguson.

give us a sense of what is happening there today. >> reporter: good afternoon, you talk about the darkness into daylight. here's a bullet we found this morning in the daylight. a guy popped out of a car just here last night across the street with his hand wrapped full of blood saying he was shot down the street a quarter mile. he jumped out. the car sped off and the police took him. if that dent show you where the situation has gone, i'm not sure what has. in the meantime peaceful protesters here this afternoon. a lot less busy than it was yesterday afternoon. a grand jury expected to go through starting tomorrow, it will be 12 people. we're told it could take up a to few weeks to pick those folks who will go through all the evidence from what the police have gathered, from what eyewitnesses have gathered and social media and design whether or not that police officer should be charged with a crime.

michael? >> michael: robert, as you said, relatively quiet right now in ferguson compared to the last several days. do you get the sense--i believe we have technical difficulties with robert ray in ferguson. we'll go back to him. amid the controversy in ferguson there was another officer-involved shooting four miles away in st. louis. the police chief said that an officer shot and killed a 23-year-old man who brandished a knife at him. it is not connected to the ferguson case. no one was injured. the crowds have since dispersed. schools were supposed to open last thursday. natasha, i know you talked to residents there in the area, thousands of students and teachers are affected by this. what are they saying about how this is affecting the school

process? >> reporter: michael, a total of 33,000 students in multiple school districts stayed home from school today. about half of them i in the ferguson school district won't be going to school at all this week, and some parents are upset. they didn't understand why the beginning of the school year needed to be postponed yet again. they pointed out the violence in the last week-plus, has generally erupted after the sunset. some used this opportunity to hit the streets this morning and clean up the garbage that protesters left behind. we spent the morning with the teacher and her son. >> reporter: in the middle of now-familiar signs that protesters carried, this one caught our eye. for the first time since the unrest in ferguson, a teacher and her son decided to join the protesters. her sign asked a simple

question. can we have peace so i can teach? >> it's time for my students to go to school. this is stopping them from moving forward. >> reporter: the schoolyar school year in ferguson was supposed to start last week. now it's delayed and that's putting stress on parents and students. many children rely on free and reduced meals, and that learning loss is effecting kids. >> it's not going to help to lose ground. >> reporter: her 16-year-old son admits its nice to have an extra week to prepare for school but the reason for the delay has him concerned. he and his mother have been shooting about the shooting. he worries about what will happen, and whether officer darren wilson will be charged,

but he said watching the events of last week has taught him real-world lessons. >> standing up for what you believe in, fighting for what is right, and not going to extremes just to show what they believe. talk, and you'll be heard. >> reporter: his mother said that she's ready for the city of ferguson to move past its anger. >> i'll be glad when this is all over and we can go back to bees peaceful and working together and getting things accomplished in this area. >> reporter: that teacher you just heard from said that later on this week teachers at her school will be undergoing crisis training and counselors will be on hand to talk to kids and what's going on in their community. once they return to school, the teacher said she can't wait to welcome back the students and she'll be ready to address any concerns they may have about what is going on in ferguson.

michael, i want to talk about one more thing. one school in the area was open today providing free lunches for kids. >> michael: natasha, do you get the sense talking to the students and teachers there that they had confidence that they will be back in school at some point in the very near future? >> reporter: i would say given the very unpredictable and volatile nature of what's been going on since i've been on the ground, i think no one really has any confidence in what may happen moment to moment let alone day-to-day. the mother and son we spoke to said that they did not think that the angry protest was subside sane time soon, and i'm sure that officials here are hoping that's wrong. >> michael: reporting live from ferguson, thank you. attorneys for brown's family announced that a public memorial and funeral will be held on monday. the location is yet to be set. the attorneys say they're working to find a venue to

accommodate a large turn out. they're seeking $5,000 and donors have pledged over $4,100 in six days. meanwhile supporters of officer darren wilson have set up a fund page and they've raised $25,000 to help with legal fees and other financial needs. the missouri chapter of the ku klux klan says it will hold a fundraiser this weekend. maria ines ferre has more on this story. >> reporter: during the day the activists are strategizing at night. they're in the front lines of the protest. i want to show you some of them. this is jonea. she's been active since the beginning of these protests. she's a 25-year-old activist helping to collect the donatio donations. she has been working with this

woman, sherrill brown. she has been writing from the front lines since the media was pushed back. he she tweeted out this image, gathering medical response training. this gentleman right here has a gas mask in his hand. and this is an image that she tweeted out last night, the neighborhood we were in when we got gassed. these protesters are often coming up against tear gas. look at this video, documenting what is happening along the protesters. take a look. [ gunshots ] >> what is that shooting? >> that is live ammo. [ coughing ] >> the gas got my eyes watery. >> reporter: now on what do

these protesters do if they're arrested? there are leaflets being passed around on who to call, they're encouraged to write it on their bodies just in case. >> that story is rivetting, thank you. the justice department sai. what more could the justice department do ahead of the attorney general's visit? >> reporter: they spoke on this issue a week ago and instructed the department of justice and in particular the civil rights to hold an investigation. the federal investigation largely centered on the civil rights implications. that's

where the federal government has jurisdiction. that has been the subject of eyewitness interviews. president cut short his martha vineyard vacation, and you can hear the swoosh of chopper blades behind me. they just landed on the south lawn of the white house just behind me. in a moment the president will be returning from martha vineyard, but not before sending eric holder, who was also on vacation at martha vineyard, out to missouri to get a look at the local and state police. the state stroppers, but also some disagreements with federal law enforcement over the way many things were handled, include the release of that video from the purported store robbery just before michael

brown was fatally shot. a lot of people are now looking for guidance, leadership from the federal government here in washington, and eric holder will be there tomorrow on the ground. >> michael: mike, protesters seem to be adamant that one thing they want, and that is for the officer who shot michael brown, darren wilson, to be indicted. that's what they're call for in ferguson. any word on that possibility from the justice department? >> reporter: well, no, and they say there's an ongoing investigation. we do know that a sitting grand jury, a grand jury that is already in session, that case has been brought before them on a state level but not necessarily on a federal level. i don't think you're going to be hearing anything any time soon. of course, during the trayvon martin case the president said if i had a son, he would look like trayvon.

this is dicey issues for the president. the president spoke very much at length and said among other things that he was have eric holder look at the law enforcement issues. but there was little he could do and it was up to the local criminal code. and since we're talking about president obama, many disappointed about what think call a flat tone. they wanted a more angry look but the heavy handed tactics by the police. he said a lot of people want to have a conversation on race, and he doesn't think he should be the one to have it. and when everybody comes together in a room everybody stays in their previous position. he's sending his attorney general to look at exactly what is happening and try to get some semblance of corporation or

better corporation nothing the law enforcement entities on the ground in ferguson now. >> michael: to that point you speak of, it's very indicative of his behavior. at his press conference he spoke about the ferguson issue and in terms of how carefully he chose his words in and around which is a very sensitive subject. >> reporter: this dates back not only to this presidency when professor skip gates was arrested at his home in harvard and the president said that the police had acted stupidly. the whole jeremiah gentleman wright controversy and his speech on race which was well-received at the time in philadelphia. but you're right, the president has shied away or has not been eager, let's say, to address some of these issues head on. the notable exception to that was when the president appeared in the briefing room in the post zimmerman verdict stage and

spoke. i was standing right there i would say by most accounts very aliquantly and forcefully without the use of notes and spoke straight from the heart and spoke what many african-american males space in this country. many african-americans were disappointed that he did not take a more forceful tone yet and the commentary that came in the wake of the speech. it had disappointed a lot of his core supporters in particular because he chose to stress the need of law enforcement having a job to do and many troublemakers and rioters and looters who were not interested in peaceful protesters is where the president was putting the stress. what continues in the streets of

ferguson and the implications about inequities in society that that brings up. >> michael: a very controversial subject and the president will be open to criticism for what he said. thank you. sabrina fulton, veh vo, mother of trayvon martin wrote a letter to the parents of michael brown. she also wrote: no. iraq the army and air force are trying to push islamic state group out of the city of tikrit. this is the third time that they've tried to you take control of saddam hussein's hometown.

u.s. airstrikes supported a kurdish-iraqi a corroboration to take back the mosul dam. >> this time last week this dam was being fought over. the biggest series of airstrikes since the start of this campaign to push back islamic state group fighters. after that peshmerga pressed in with iraqi forces. the u.s. said it was not easy to put together, but in this case it succeeded after 36 hours of fighting they managed to take back control of this dam, the largest in iraq. the fighting continues, though, over on the ridge to the west of the dam. there is a long line of vehicles. we're told it's a counter terrorism movement, who are

backed by the kurdish forces who are doing the majority of fighting on the ground. the fighting continues over the hill and beyond that it's another 60 kilometers to sinjar mountain, the home of the yazidis, who have been trapped on that mountain as well as slaughtered in some of the villages and a strategic spot for the peshmerga. >> michael: the six-day cease-fire in the middle east has fallen apart. thousands of palestinians in gaza has fled their homes in search of safety. israel launch airstrikes after rockets were fired. hamas deny firing the rockets. and while israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu ordered the israeli delegation to return from cairo, that does not necessarily signal the end of negotiations. we're live in jerusalem. what is the latest on this conflict and especially the

negotiations? >> well, michael, the conflict is sadly raging again on both sides. palestinian officials say that one airstriker has killed many members of a family, including a two-year-old girl, and that family, they say, actually lost members during the last israeli war into gaza two and a half years ago. and so there is a lot of airstrikes happening in gaza. gaza residents reporting centered around northern gaza, eastern gaza and one home hit that was filled with a number of civilians. on the israeli side we have reports of sirens and rockets throughout all of israel other than tel aviv and here in jerusalem. many reports i in the south rockets fired in gaza, one of those rockets hitting a cafe, apparently no one was there at the time. there have been two intercepts

by the iron dome missile defense system and bomb shelters opened by the military 50 miles of gaza. at this point we are at another heavy bombardment into gaza. another heavy bombardment from gaza into israel. the rockets do not really fall in urban areas other than a few exceptions, so there have not been any injuries or deaths, but in gaza we have two deaths including multiple members of a single family. >> so many issues tied in the question i'm about to put to you. the fires were fired and israel responded even though hamas said they didn't fire the rockets. benjamin netanyahu pulls his group of negotiators and it's all raging. with all of this coming together yet again in this area what does it do for any type of diplomacy in the near future?

>> reporter: one official puts it this way, the chances of a cease-fire are evaporating by the second. once you get past israel's security concerns and you get the notion from hamas and other palestinian factions that they're resisting israeli strikes, once you get past that, you realize that officials are still in cairo and still talking and neither side wants this to last forever. >> today we demand from the international community and the u.s. security counsel to adopt a resolution that would set a time frame for the withdraw of israeli troops from territories occupied in 1967.

>> they want a longstanding cease-fire and peace deal going back to the 67 borders. the israelis are much more fussed on security. let go to the chief spokesman for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who focused much more on what's been happening in the last few hours before the cease-fire effort. >> today's rocket attack is a grave and direct violation of the cease-fire that hamas committed to. this is the 11th cease-fire that hamas has either rejected or violated. it's clear that a cease-fire has to be a two-way street. so michael you hear both sides speaking past each other, nonetheless officials say there is room for diplomacy and officials still pushing hard to get back to a cease-fire in

gaza. >> michael: it seems like there is hope there, but we're talking about the same things over and over ben. nick schifrin live in jerusalem. texas governor rick perry said to turn himself into authorities today and he's already lawyered up. plus the path to the white house often includes in iowa the big names that turned up there this week. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow. that's why i always choose the fastest intern. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch.

>> michael: in a couple of hours texas governor perry will turn himself in. the governor will be booked and fingerprinted around 6:00 eastern. the governor said he plans to fight the allegations. he was seen as a possible 2016 presidential candidate. perry and other big-name politicians made an appearance at the iowa state fair sheila mcvictor reports, this was a scene for presidential hopeful hopefuls{^l" ^}. >> reporter: the iowa state fair with its butter could you and wholesome competition is a happying portion of americana. star-spangled, deep fried, and gigantic. it's also where the horse racing begins. iowa is the first in the nation

to cast primary votes in the iowa caucuses. it's been that way since 1972. >> people always ask why is iowa so important? iowa is not first in the nation because it's important. it's important because it is first in the nation. >> reporter: so far at least a dozen presidential hopefuls have made visits to iowa even though the presidential election is more than two years away. texas governor rick perry is one of them making an appearance at this year's fair just days before an indictment cast a shadow on his prospects. >> reporter: if you want to toss your name in the ring to be president of the united states, you have to come to iowa, and you really have to come to the iowa state fair. >> applications love to go to the iowa state fair. you can show how brave you are by eating food on a stick. >> reporter: a political columnist for the des moines register, that makes for good

tv, good photo-ops. this year it's dominated by would be republican contenders. democrats, we're told, are sitting it out until hillary clinton announces her intentions. >> it's a big stage. it's a big microphone. it's iowa, meaning people are going to cover it. if there is a thing about running in 2016 a potential candidate, they're going to show up. >> it should not show up as a surprise, bobby jingle made an appearance at the iowa state fair this year. he insists he won't make a decision about running or not until the end of november. >> do you see a path to the white house that does not involve iowa. >> no, iowa for a long time has been first in the nation and it's a great tradition. >> reporter: here iowans get to look at candidates and judge the

quality of their handshake is key. pete mcroberts is one such voter. he has met just about everyone in the last two election cycles. >> i've met each of them three and four times and the state fair makes it all happen. >> reporter: iowans will see plenty more of applications in the months add taking iowa's small stage and that it will serve a as a springboard to dizzyings heights in washington. >> michael: police are hoping to convince protesters to protest during the day and keep violence at bay. and the controversial protest that ended a career.

primetime news. >> welcome to al jazeera america. >> stories that impact the world, affect the nation and touch your life. >> i'm back. i'm not going anywhere this time. >> only on al jazeera america.

>> ten days after michael brown was shot and killed the police are still trying to calm the unrest in ferguson, missouri. what started out in peaceful protest deteriorated into violence. police say at least two people were shot. four officers were hurt and 41 pool were arrested. robert, do we know what will happen tonight? >> reporter: the plan seems to be the same, in fact, just a few minutes ago i was talking to an officer, i said, what do you they can? he said about the same, maybe worse tonight. that's a quote from him. and i can tell you right now we've also been hold that we have move locations. you can see behind me here,

other media entities packing up their live shows as we are. they had the protesters continue to march yes, no stopping apparently they have us on guard like that today as they make us move these satellite trucks to a new location. not sure. this is coming from captain ron johnson, they're taking orders from him. we was a sound bite from a press conference that went on this morning. let's listen to that i want peaceful protesters to come out during the daytime. all those criminals who are hiding and masking themselves at night behind peace, let them come out and so we can put them away and make our streets clear so they can no longer mask themselves behind peaceful protesters. >> reporter: there is not much

peaceful protesting going on this afternoon, so i don't know if that call to action will work. these papers say: >> they have put out another pull tin here. tin--bulletin here: this is a town of 21,000 people. that is clearly gearing up again for another night. that's from the mouths of the police officers at the just talked to. >> michael: robert ray, live in ferguson. we'll talk to you later in the

day. for more on the role of law enforcement in ferguson. let's go to chief from law enforcement prohibition. your men in seattle were on the front lines of 1999. what did you learn and what do you think other police departments have learned from those events back in 1999? >> i learned however justified you think the action might be using chemical agents tear gas against non-violent and non-threatening prisoners is wrong and is sure to backfire and will radicalize other peaceful protesters. big, big mistake. >> michael: it seems in ferguson the protesters seem to be very nonviolent. then when the arrest till rather showed up and armored vehicles,

that's when they were antagonized. is that a common screen when you have that type of dynamic? >> i think it's a very common screen. the police in a free and democratic society are not soldiers. they are community police officers. if they embrace community policing they work as partners with the citizens. they don't work as an occupational force as an enemy of the citizens. their intentions may not be bad at all, but the effect is secondly that. >> michael: how did you eventually calm things down in seattle, and what can ferguson learn from that experience as they try to equal the protesters and violence there as we speak. >> well, understand that the wto was an event with a start and a finish. a lot of people around the globe, tens of thousands, as a

matter of fact, came with the idea that they would go home friday and saturday. ferguson by contrast is a development of spontaneous incidents. >> it was brought out of the belief that you could arm local police to deal with drug gangs or traffickers because they tend to be in possession of high powe firepower, and you want to give the police a chance. but does this equipment hurt relationships between the police departments and the local communities? >> it has. let me be clear there are times and places and occasions when a s.w.a.t. response to a situation is the best one. it's a life-saving response. think about school shootings.

think about barricaded suspects with weapons, think about the mcdonald's massacre. i cite that one as an example because i was there. i believe, as do many of my officers, that had we had additional military equipment we could have brought the carnage to a much quicker end. there is a time, there is a place. it is never, in my judgment, the appropriate time and place or occasion to trot out all of this military guard, military equipment, military weaponry in order to control a crowd. that's just about the worse thing, i think, one could imagine because it is not--it is not only successful, it is not an effective operational plan. it has a horrible effect on the community. we're used to seeing police officers in their every-day

uniforms. whatever strain may exist in the relationship we're not used to seeing those same officers in kevlar helmets, uniforms and the like. that's a jarring image for a lot of people. >> michael: you mentioned a trained relationship. when you talk to citizens there in ferguson it's not just about the death of michael brown and how it was handled, and how the police was so slow to release the officer's name, there was this underlying issue of harassment from the police in their words, and this fundamental distrust between the police and the people of that community. how can the police department erase that distrust? does it ever go away? >> you know, i would like to believe that it can go away, but it will not go away until the police as an institution embrace the idea that they belong to the

people, not the other way around. this attitude that we're the cops and you're not is offensive, and it is antagonistic. so what has to happen is for police to develop as an institution a lot more humility and a deeper understanding of why they're there. if they're there to work with the community, identify and solve problems, if they're there to work on the relationship between community and police, then it can happen. but it won't happen absent that choice on the part of american law enforcement. they may be forced to make that choice in ferguson. >> former seattle police chief joining us here in al jazeera. thank you so much for the insight. >> thank you. >> michael: well, as you might imagine the events in ferguson have been making headlines around the world. foreign medias have been using the clash to criticize america.

>> reporter: some media like in russia and iran said the u.s. is violating human rights, but america is facing criticism from its allies, too. >> ferguson where tensions have been flying high. >> reporter: the images showing nonstop in america are also being seen around the world. the riots have given america's critics the chance to accuse washington of hypocrisy. iran's state-run tv is doing just that saying america has no rights to accuse others of human rights abuses when they're abusing rights at home. >> propagating democracy around the globe while turning a blind eye to its own citizens. >> we go around the world

promoting democracy and fairness. >> reporter: covering the riots, at times comparing the people in ferguson to palestinians in gaza. in china the state run website writes in a country that for years has tried to play the role of international human rights judge and defender there is still much room for improvement at home. but even in countries close to the u.s. some media are criticizing the government's response to the skirmishes. in this canadian newspaper the author writes: >> and this germany website saying: international media has

covered skirmishes between police and journalists. two journalists in germany have been arrested and ben released from ferguson. >> michael: from the outside looking in some of those journalists may have a good point: pakistan has stationed troops in islamabad. they would block protesters we from reaching public buildings. protesters want the prime minister to step down and have vowed to hold sit-ins until he does. in thailand the military said that it will nominate a candidate this week. the general had earlier said elections would be held in 2015. the army took control of the government three months ago. the junta said that the coup

ended months of political turmoil and ended the threat of civil conflict. maria ines ferre has news around america. >> reporter: in colorado defense attorneys say the university of colorado might have withheld records about james homes. holmes, this race raises questions. holmes' lawyer said that evidence led them to issue subpoena from university records. holmes pled not guilty by reason of insanity. 12 people were killed in the attack. 70 others were wounded. the death of a black man placed under a chokehold by a white officer will go to a grand jury in new york. the jury will hear evidence surrounding the death of erik gardner. he was selling unlicensed cigarettes when an officer put

him in an apparent choke hold. gardner died moments later. an oil spilled in the water way southeast of cincinnati. crews are cleaning up right now and the area is closed to the river traffic. the spill occurred during a fuel transfer. evacuation orders are under way for 13,000 homes and businesses in california. 500 structures are threatened by a filed wire near yosemite national park. firefighters were sent to the area. at least eight structures have been destroyed so far. emergency crews mounted a can you after floodwaters surrounded a house. this is one of several rescues in the region today. at least two people were trapped in the home north of phoenix. crews had to drop from a helicopter to get people to safety more than two inches of rain hit the area this morning, about a quarter of the region's

average yearly rainfall. they're not used to that much rain. >> michael: no, the soil cannot absorb the rain that fast. ten years ago today google went public, and a lot has changed for users and the company. we'll take a look back and ahead with jacob ward next.

>> this, is what we do. >> al jazeera america.

>> the next digital evolution is on its way. it will make us more connected than ever before. >> reporter: the iot refers to a major move beyond the computer. it's an advanced level of connectivity where just about everything can be linked and communicate intelligently. >> the power of the internet will be dwarfed over what will happen over the next ten years. >> reporter: appliances to parking meters. to connect to the internet and connect to others items. your refrigerator could be linked to your scale and it could annoys, are you sure you want to eat this? >> it's talking about a revolutionary way that people will use this commuting around them to express their needs and

have it anticipated before ethen express their needs. >> it's lots of things all waking up. >> reporter: many corporate giants are invested hundred was million of dollars. the networking company is investing in driverless cars and improved technical. g.e. has earmarked $1 billion in its iot research from smart air conditioners to jet engines that send back 5,000 data points a second. but as with any technology the benefits could come with a price. >> reporter: many people are distressed by the lack of prices by the devices in our lives. like smart phones and google glasses. >> we're going to be understood at a deeper level by our businesses, governments and each other, and there are concerns that this could get out of hand. >> reporter: al jazeera.

>> michael: ten years ago today google went public and since then the company has changed the lives of millions around the globe. we're taking a closer look at how much our lives have changed since then and how google is changing the future. some of us may have forgotten so remind us. what is life like before google. >> reporter: it seems like it's been around forever, but in these ten years google has changed everything. ten years and one months ago you and i would have been living our digital lives entirely through laptops. we were not using mobile phones as smart phones. there was no iphone. and this was the kind of place that everything you did online was very de-centralized in terms where you went. and webs were all over the place, and google solved all that and pushed it into the cloud, which is what we all rely on now.

suddenly we weren't relying on a simple laptop at our desk. now stuff is no longer under our control any more. >> google has grown with various acquisitions and investments. sometimes they seem random. >> reporter: yes, that's right. >> michael: but when you look at them all together how is google trying to impact the world? >> reporter: that is absolutely right. this incredible $28 billion shopping spree they went on since dipping into the public coffers giving them everything from youtube, and i put this question to the international director of the electronic foundation danny o'brien. i spoke to him and asked him what is the connective tissue. he said it's the data that he has collected on you and me.

>> if you think about the thermostat, cars and a game that google produces which records people as they are moving around. it records where you are at the same time. i don't think that's necessarily why they built that game, but what is missing from the considerations that google makes about these things is the damaging effects of collecting data willy-nilly. a lot of its reputation relies on it being a trusted gate keeper to that data. but i don't think that they niecely understand that even if you're trusted by everyone. creating such a large honey pot of valuable data all it's own is

a risk. whether you turn bad or the government or state come knocking at the door and make you an offer you can't refuse. >> 's referring to the nsa revelation from the edward snowden leaks. >> michael: and gives a few things to be concerned about, even scary, assembling all that data. >> reporter: we've gotten to a place where it's a competitive company, it has had to turn inward and make a lot of things secret. it was built on the openness of the internet, but it has collected a lot of data on all of us, and using it in several ways, and it has been a convenient partner, some would say victim of the nsa and others agencies that are trying to spy on it. >> michael: jacob ward, thank

you. coming up, the morning after. the folks who are help to go clean up in ferguson after the violent night of protest. blurring the line of cops and soldiers. it's happening all over the country. when there is trouble do local police need to look and act like a small army, or are the images that we've all seen from missouri just proof policing is different in a post-9/11 world. join us for inside story.

>> michael: the hands up don't shoot protest has made it's way to the nfl. 11 players on washington's team had their hands up when they walked out on the field for latino nice's pre-season game fo against cleveland browns. they said they did it for michael brown.
