misare supposed to protect and serve us don't the kill our members in our commute. >> protest this morning were peaceful, a stark contrast from last night. a group staged sit ins and walked around interceptions in clayton missouri. >> quickly erupted into rye t yoking and looting, police cars were set on fire, missouri's governor is sending more natural guard troops to ferguson to keep the peace. let's talk about keeping the peace, with dianne, she joins us live now from ferguson missouri, die an, business owners disappointed and angry about last night. tell me what they have been saying today. >> they feel hike the governor let them down, they thought there was a man in place, and they

felt like hahs night was deja vu all over again. after michael brown was shot. last night, this were about a dozen businesses on south fluorescent avenue, that were destroyed or damages. some of those businesses were burned, other businesses had their windowed broken out. i talked to one business owner who said gee, i thought that the national guard was going to be here to help me, i thought we had a man in place, and he feels like law enforcement let him down. >> when you listen on the news and to the governor, you expected the national guard, i expected the police, and them to work together to have better protection, they told us that they will protect all the business and everything that was around here and jenkins restaurants are just about a flock or two from the ferguson police department, he didn't board up his businesses

last night, he said he didn't think he would have to, because he thought he was so chose to the police department he would be protected and he thought there was a plan in place, and it doesn't seem like there was, he is very disappointed and he will be interesting to see what the governor has to say. >> yeah, dianne, the attorney for the family of michael brown also spoke out today what is the next step for them? >> well, it's hard to say with the next step is, one thing that they are looking for, though, is for some sort of a law to be put in place to require all police officers to wear cameras on their uniforms. that is one thing that they want to see done. and they want it to be done in honor of their son, we don't know yet, they didn't say anything during the press conference, with there will be a civil suit. >> all right, dianne, that you know. take a look live picture now from st. louis.

where at we mentioned missouri governor is expected to speak short hi, he will be joined by state and low cat law enforcement officials and leaders of the missouri national guard, they will have some explaining to do we will bring that of course, we will bring that you when it happened. let's take a closer look at the protests, shortly after the grand jury announced police say crowds began thousanding rocks and bottles at them, near their headquarters right here. and after that, a short time later, a car was set on fire, and lewders began breaking in stores this offense a little caesars restaurant that was broken into and set on fire as well. and some other stores and businesses along that stretch there a short time later police used smoke and tear gas to try to disburse the crowds.

25 buildings were set on fire, them this stretch here, the worst hit area that was the epicenter for all of the demonstrations. he is the president of the urban lead. and former mayor of new orleans. attorney crump said today at the news conference if you attended that the community needs change to move forward. what does companying hook like. it is important for people to recognize that the grand jury decision

and an active on going independent federal civil rights investigation, initiated by attorney general holder and the justice department. >> if this is worth emphysician that the introduction of body cams, and dashboard cams. reconstruction these type of events after they occur. they need to do racial profiling genes.

it touch add nerve in this nation on broader that we all have to work on. >> how practical is that how does something hike that get done is it a city council process, will state or federal funds be required to make something hike that, how does that work practically. >> the department and some have already taken that step on their own to introduce body cams. even acted by a police department as part of their policy, a city council or an order certainly a state law or national law can do it. i understand today that a member of congresses just introduced a bill to require these sort of body cameras.

in the case of this grand jury, mccollough said that 55 witnesses were presented. have a body camera been available everyone can see the facts as they evolve the incident as it took mace. that reliable, what i would call verifiable, body cameras the type of technology necessary to do this, is currently available. it would only approve in the future, this would be a step in the right direction, but certainly not the only thing that needs to be done. >> one more point on this. >> what seems to be a common sense approach to take the guess work out of these situations that is indicative of this, there not being enough

political or public hill to make it happen. >> you know i have confidence there's a ground spell of support in favor of body cameras i don't hear any real opposition. this is the beginning and the family and of course some crutch. but this effort i think around misaccountable and reform, i hook forward to offing to further recommendations in this area. we have the incident in cleveland. there were other incidents right here in st. louis, something is amiss in this nation. relationship between police and the communities they serving especially in as far as

it comes to young black men. >> okay, again, i am going to trade on your experience as a big city mayor. when you talk about reforms. greater police accountability, maybe a new look at racial profiling and how those issues are taxled and discussed and training in those areas is that a mayor is that a police department, who leads on that. >> a mayor can lead and he should lead. citizens should lead, eselectricked officials should lead. i took on police reform when i was mayor. we are talking about leadership, here is the governor right now, let's listen in.

chief john bell marry, the county police department, assistant chief al atkins. we are also joined by major general stephen danker the general as well as general mason of the national guard. >> from the missouri national guard. >> last night. terrorized this community. purposing buildings, foyering gunshots vandalizing store fronts and looting family businesses. dopily saddeninged for people that come up this morning that see parts of their community in ruins. i just came from west floorson, it is a heartbreaking site. seniors afraid to leave

the house, kids scare to go outside and play. >> we must do better and we will. >> this morning i met with guard and law enforcement leaders all agree, that the violence we saw in the areas of ferguson last night cannot be repeated. that is why in order to protect lives and resources and other parts of the region. the national guard presence will be ramped up significantly. in ferguson, and in insuring that they are ready to act quick hi to prevent violence. first, we are deploying hundreds of additional guardsman who will be stationed throughout the community to protect homes and businesses. with these additional citizen soldiers law enforcement officers will be better able to focus on protecting lives in the community. two missouri national guard, will also continue

to provide security at critical locations, including the ferguson police department, last night, more than 700 guardsman were at nearly 100 vital facilities throughout this region p it is a testament to the professionalism of local law enforcement, missouri state highway patrol, and the card and no one was killed or seriously injured last night. >> third, the rapid response teams will be position sod they are ready to act at a momentos notice, all together there will be more than 2,200 national guardsman in the region. lives and property must be protected. this community deserves to have peace. we h provide safety and security to the region. i know this morning this' pain in the hearts of this community. i also know that it is vital for us to understand how we got to this place, and how to make it better.

i continue to be heartened be i the steadfast work that so many people are doing on behalf of peace, and understanding. to avert miles and move forward together. i will now call on folks to say something, andly be glad to take questions. will the me first call on the commander here. gregory mason. >> thank you, governor. the missouri national guard, will deploy a trained and ready professional force soldier whose are equipped to do the job and we reason to ferguson and this region and will continue to do a good job of protecting the citizens and life and property. so again, we are here to as trained and ready soldiers to do what we have always done, that's serve the citizens of the state of missouri. >> thank you, general, colonel rob reynold. >> last night was a

disaster, and we are prepared to team up again to address this tonight, as the governor said we are cannot have a repeat of what happened last night. it is very disappointed for me to watch the hard work of the chiefs and captain johnson over the last 100 plus days the tremendous work that they have been doing go up in flames so to speak. they will work more, they will work harder and we will work harder but we will not have a repeat of last night's activities. and another 100 officers from municipalities it goes to show you that the

value can guard can bring to us, our community not only needs to be safe, they need to feel safe. and i appreciate governors leadership and certainly general mason's troops in that regard. thank you. >> thank you, chief, the deputy of public safety. so much work has been done over the last 100 days and we deploy many office errs out in the area. and unfortunately, this was a group of people who were intent on causing violence and may ham. we will do better tonight. there will be a significant presence in the community.

and we hope that will protect the property and the businesses of those people in ferguson and also throughout the city of st. louis. and our community. >> glad to take any questions. >> weed ha 700 guardsman last night, late last night, early this morning and -- we demied guardsman to the ferguson police department, as additional strength there, and as was indicated by the folks here, we have -- will continue that mission ahonk with the other two that we talked about ex-en paing the role of the guard. we are working to make sure the public safety, and that the guard is -- that force is used in a way that makes sure that

tonight is safer. >> deeply disturbing you waited until today, after last night's events we had 700 national guardsman out that went out early last evening including late last night so i say that. >> that's the force frank will have in the area. we h have a significant number out tonight, put obviously work shifts but the bottom line is we will -- as i said before, we will continue to up their numbers here. and work with the unified command to make sure that we keep things calm and safe. >> .

>> they were providing services all throughout the area, so they would be freed up. we had 700 guards man in the region doing a lot of work out there, such as others could. [inaudible question] with

the attacks at hand and the seriousness of the mission. >> once again, i am not -- we are moving folks into that area, we will stay agile also, and as we look towards missions we are putting out we have 700 guards man that already disbursed in the area.

post certified officers that can be freed up to be agile in the force. >> any consideration about shotting down tonight. >> this' a hot of folks there, a lot of other resources, we are looking at those as options but i think what people want is peace, what they want is safety. we want to get through to that point, where the people are confident to walk up and down in the streets. that are facing us right now in a strong unified way to make sure that the

people of this region on their streets not that we have to have we are trying to get back to a place where ferguson and the region felt confidentble walking around with their families and kids, that's their goal not to shut the place down. thank you all very very much. 700 guardsman on duty last night, 2200 guardsman will be on duty in the area tonight.

there could be problems there were problems it looks like a underdeployment last night. and certainly a man that shifted in time. >> i question the quiz come of making the announcement at nine or 9:30 at night. there is simply no rational, no justification, and i think authorities should be asked why, in fact, did the announcement come at that time. secondarily, certainly you ask why missouri authorities didn't have the appropriate security in place. immediately up on the announcement. of the grand jury decision. whenever warning signal has been there there would be quote peaceful protestors and certainly those that wanted to take advantage of the situation.

disassociate themselves with any violence with any destruction of property of businesses because that will yield nothing, it will not yield progress, it will not yield justice, it will not yield the results that anyone desires nor does it respect the memory of michael brown and certainly honor his family. so you question how once again it seems to be that the missouri authorities are behind the curb if you will, with respect to things here in ferguson. so -- i don't know if there's a monitor out this, which would have enabled you to watch and hear governor nixon, put his tone, was harsh, it was trouten and when you look at the force that will be deployed tonight, how concerned are you about events this

evening? about sun down? we have been concerned that the security actions don't cross the line to serve as provocations for those that wish to protest. and my hope and encouragement is that those that want to express themselves, are going to do it in a peaceful organized fashion. that's the consistent theme. of the civil rights movement in this country. the theme and the approach. and we have to reaffirm that, not only as a tradition, the sense of outrage, the sense of disappointment. and indeed the sense of anger are very real, and understandable. and justified and i am highly disappointed with the decision of the grand jury. we cannot allow it to

turn into acts of violence, but i would say, again, the actions of officials here in missouri from the announcement of the grand jury decision late at night, to a 20 minute rambling discourse, by the prosecutor, announcing if you will defending the actions of his grand jury. number three, the relief of information from a secret grand jury proceeding, combined with what you have seen in security, you just have to ask yourself, do the missouri officials have their act together here? >> yeah. >> in terms of handling a very -- it is a complex and a difficult situation. no doubt. >> i know you have to run, and i appreciate the time you have given us, but i want to get you back on the program later in the week, and certainly when you are back in new york city. lye pictures as we go to

break here, from seattle washington. and this is going to continue. these demonstrations these protests, it seems to me will continue into the foreseeable future here. we h take a break and we will come pack with the continuing coverage on the situation in ferguson, missouri, and across the country, this is al jazeera america.

completely swamped our live location as well. a lot of energy, no quit in this crowd, clearly saying that this is something that is going to continue the day after. and is going to continue tomorrow and continue on. one of the pastor whose was speaking when this rally started today, said evil will always lose good will always win, and then he told the crowd this is a war, and with is that sent this crowd into the streets gather -- meeting other groups ahonk the way three or 400 strong on the steps of the federal courthouse? a lot of energy a lot of resolve.

>> we will talk to some of those protestors and you can share with us what they have to say a little later. we will certainly get back to you. >> you know, the other part of this big story today, is the evidence. the st. louis county prosecutor released thousands of pages of documents from the grand jury. among them is this, take a look at this, this is the lay out of the crime scene. presented to the franked jury, al jazeera has added the colors and labels to help guide you, but you can see the position of his vehicle in relation to michael brown's body. did you get a good look at that, also among the documents released is first hand testimony from officer darren wilson. jonathon is here with more on that. >> we are hearing from darren wilson.

in his words he looked like a demon. >> the face and head. >> the struggle against michael brown, the officer described to the grand jury a fight for his life. as he confronted an 18-year-old an inch taller and 80 pounds heavier. >> after stopping a teenager in the street wilson said brown wouldn't let him out of his suv, punching him through an open wednesday doe, he said he felt like a five-year-old holding on to a hulk hogan and i felt another one of those punches in my face could knock me out or worse. two officer was not carries a tazer and said he couldn't reach his mace. from inside the car, the eight year veteran fired twice. once in the door, the other hit the teen in the hand. jurors saw brown's blood

on the officer's uniform. wilson said the 18-year-old then ran, and the officer got out of the car and followed. wilson said the unarmed teenager stopped and turned towards him. he made like a grunting like aggravated sound, and he started he turns and he is coming back wars me, the officer told the jury, his first step is towards me, he does like a stutter step to start running wilson said he fired again, but even then the officer said brown looks like he was bulking up to run through the shots. i am wac pedaling pretty good, because i know if he reaches me he will kill me. wilson says brown was about ten feet away during the final shots. some said brown ran to the officer full charge. another insisted he was not charging him.

>> some describe his hans as being out to his side, some said in front of him with his palmed up. >> after days of testimony, 60 witnesses and 4,000 pages of documents. the grand jury decided not to charge the officer. >> rage progress test tors and devastating brown's family. >> after we like all of you went through as much of the information i think it was described as a dump, we went through as much evidence as we could and saw how completely unfair this process was. we object publicly and loudly as we can. on behalf of michael brown jr.'s family. that this process is broken. >> the prosecutor said the process was fair that the jurors saw absolutely everything, yet some complained that it was too much. and it was handled more like a trial rather than

what is normally a routine decision. seeing everything may have been too much. all right, jonathon, appreciate it, thank you. let's bring in lisa, sha esa trial attorney from the legal analyst for -- that's a lawyer data base. lisa good to see you, i saw something there you, folks are posting your comments on this decision from this grand jury all over facebook. >> right. >> and i know you know this people are asking me how this grand jury process was different from what we usually see. >> it was radically different, and the pros it cooers -- when they talk it to the grand jury, this is different. senator decided another of other cases, which is the prosecutors come in, they give you a couple of witness as very truncated

presentation of evidence, they hand a charge form with the recommended charges to the grand jury, and the grand jury 95% of the time agrees with it, that's good just throw a bunch of stuff out there, and let them decide. >> the most important thing to me is the pros it cooers did not recommend any charges to the grand juries and i think they got the message from that. you can also present the evidence in a way to get the desired results that you want if you don't want an indictment, is that what i hear you saying? >> .

>> he was ahowed to just speak and tell a story, without the prosecutors asking him any hard questions and in fact that's exactly what happened. darren wilson says for example that mike brown, this tall strong young man, punched him squarely in the face twice. full force, darren wilson says. and yet when you look at the pictures you have to strain to see a bit of pinkness, and those are all over online. but the hospital says no injuries no contusions no abrasions,s he is competely well. so that's not consistent with the punching that he suggests. >> and mike brown is what 6'6". >> and mike brown is 6'6", 280, can you imagine a full force blow from 6'6", two -- yeah. yeah. >> for me as a trial

lawyer, i do excessive force cases here in los angeles, on the civil side, this transcript to me just cries out for cross-examine. with all the inconsistencies really, cairns wilson everything you said was competely sweet and polite and kind, and everything that mike brown did he was just this charges super human monster, like hulk hogan like a demon, he is running away from you, and then he is running back into the bell ets, really? maybe this happened but the only way that we get the truth in our criminal justice system is by rigorous cross-examine not even close here. >> and the conflicting testimony, doesn't that also try out for a trial to effort sort it out. >> of course. if conflicts testimony meant that we didn't charge people, we would no longer be the land of mass incarceration. and the question for the prosecutor is why did darren wilson get this special treatment?

why don't all the other defendants most of whom are plaque or brown, why don't they get this treatment. they get charged generally plea bargains is this only because it is a police officer this smacks of the problems that people have had with prosecutor from the beginning, he is too close to the case and he favors police officers. >> lisa good to see you, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> think grew up in the ferguson area and has been participating in peaceful demonstrations there since august good to see you, your thoughts today? what is your reaction to the violence let's start this, the viz h violence that was visited upon your community by some hahs night. >> first of all, i grew up in north st. louis, which is close to ferguson, the violence -- yes, the violence last night, it's awful, we

were hoping it wouldn't come to that, once the decision was announced a lot of emotions stirring and a lot of outsiders and tunists that happened to show up that night. so it is awful. at the same time we can't ignore what led to it as welt it is a community that is also grieving. so it is unfortunate, with the announcement i don't think anybody should be surprised with the unfortunate results last night. >> what are your concerns for this evening. >> sunset a few hours away. i can tell that law enforcement is set on being more aggressive this evening and less tolerance of anything that would lead to that same type of action. hoping that everybody calms down, but if those same individuals are in the area, there's a chance that we may see more of it, this' just a toss up right now, and

got everybody on high alert. >> i want to know how you really feel about this, how you feel about the last 18 or so hours i want to know how you feel about the last 100 days. you have been out there, demonstrating, protests, give me your thoughts in. >> the last 18 hours. it's like a long night marry that you want to be over. so i mean just the announcement itself and leslie mcfaden hearing the results with everything else, that was heartbreaking. at the end of the day, this is somebody's son, she lost her child. and the person responsibility it was announced he got married yesterday, he gets to go on with his life. as far as the last 100 days we have been peaceful. and now the thought is everyone will focus on what happened last night, just like what happened in august, and it is going to diminish our work, and that's the

frustrating part just to keep things going, we did a nice little civil disobedience, and shut down highway 70, but we are just trying to keep it pushing. >> what happens next, what is your work moving forward? work -- first of all, i just think the healing process, right now the emotions are raw, it's been hard to sleep, having regular conversations being stressed out, what is going to happen, is this working, so just the other protestors organizers, just seeing what question can do next. other sits are standing in solidarity with us, knowing that we are doing something and effects other lives. we are just keeping it moving, we want reform, and we don't want our young boys walking around worries about their lives every day, fearing for

their lives. >> you look young, i am taking a chance here, do you have children. >> i have a 12-year-old, which is this is much more personal to me. >> i think no spring chicken, good to you, thank you for your time. >> she grew up in the ferguson area, appreciate the time. >> tell me again, pictures from seattle and from philadelphia? let's zahrt in seattle. once again, as we go to break, we will show you pictures from sele yeah, a couple hundred people, i believe is what he mentioned. at a rally a protest a demonstration there, and then, new pictures for us now from philadelphia. of the demonstration there, that corner is pretty much blocked off demonstrations going on there, and probably a couple of other cities as we get these we will bring them to you, more of our continuing

coverage, back in a moment.

secretary as we work in other news of the day. hagel will stay in the job until the successor is confirmed by the

senate his replacement will have a significant impact on foreign policy, a former member of the joint chiefs of staff, good to have you on the pack, what was your reaction to the news that the secretary was stepping down. >> well, i think it was surprise at the timing i think the timing was a bit off given everything that is going on with ice issue and the things that are happen with china, and russia and ukraine. a lot going on, big plate full of things for the secretary do do and it is a bard time for somebody like that to leave their office. >> given the fact there is so much going on in the word, and you are changing out defense secretaries does that indicate to you pretty clearly that the commander and chief and the secretary of defense were not seeing eye to eye. >> yes, unfortunately for

the secretary of defense, i think that's absolutely true, what we have here is a situation where he had one world view that he was basically backing and that view was pretty quince dent with what the military was thinking. what the obama administration is not looking for that, they are looking for a view that is more quince dent with what the president is thinking and what the people in the west wing are thinking and that's a big issue for both the secretary and the administration, and they need both to be on the same sheet of music, but you also need to present a unified front to the rest of the world. >> let's underscore the divide, because this is key, secretary hagel and others at the pentagon, and perhaps general, you can clarify that for me, were of what view when it comes to situations like iraq? like isil in syria.

and how did that differ in your opinion from the way the president and the white house staff viewed those same challenges. >> well, think whey we with looking at when it comes to isil for example, we are looking at a way of looking at the world that in the military way of looking at it -- doing it through an incremental fashion. the administration canceled that, they basically said there is no way that would happen and from a strategic standpoint, even if you believe that it is a very bad idea to put boots on the ground, it is not a good idea to telegraph that to a group like isil, and that was a big cause of the divide. you also have issued. >> can i stop you there.

isil was clearly aware of their position. to know he is dead set against putting boots on the ground, is there a military solution to isil? to the problems in iraq? to the problems in syria. >> i think there's a partial military solution, and what that means is that there has to be a concerted effort both from the civilian side of the diplomatic equation, as well as the military side, so what it would require is a whole of government response, where eel element is working together against the threat. so that is where you have to have a strong military effort as well as a strong civilian diplomatic effort, that is coupled with u.s. aid for example, and other agencies that come together, and really take away the basis for a group like isil to even function.

but that's not what we are seeing. instead we are seeing a lot of in fighting one policy solution efforts that are just geared to one particular fraction. >> which are we need a political solution in iraq, we won't even talk about syria, but we want a political solution, we want a more inclusive government there, and if we can get that more inclusive government, we can bring sunnies onboard to reject the ideologies of isil, and in order to make that -- we need that, in addition to air strikes in combination. do you agree or disagree with that? because that's the president's policy. >> right, the president's policy is basically do things as much as you can without force, and fundamentally i agree with that, but, the problem is the reality of the situation on the ground requires there to

be a large reservoir of people that can be called into play you look at isil and you see how far it is going to baghdad. we need to have a military option in place, that not only stiffening the resistence, that further advances won't be tolerated and it is that component that seems to be missing from the policy. that's very disturbing and could limit our options in the future. >> one more for you, do you anticipate a more hawkish policy moving forward? >> i don't think so, we have gotten some word that the possible successor has been named as a possible successor has taken herself out of the running.

with that in mind, it looks like the policy will be less hawkish, less confrontation, and that can effect the isil as pet of things but policy in over areas as well as the pacific, as well as with russia and not to mention iran. >> and afghanistan. colonel, thank you. >> absolutely. >> former member of the joints chief of staff. even joyed that conversation, thank you, sir. >> you bet, my pleasure. >> and still to come, dozens of protests happening all over the country, take a look at the live pictures now from philadelphia. that corner there, we are keeping an eye on that that is a peaceful demonstration, we have time to rope in some pictures from seattle as well? seattle pictures coming up. there we go. let's take a break, and we are back in just a moment.

an

unroast, in ferguson, sparking protests all other the country. the middle of a demonstration in seattle, allen. >> hi, tony, i am having a little trouble hearing you but i think you just tossed to me, a big crowd here on the steps of the federal courthouse. been here for half an hour now. a series of rallies that have met here. hopefully peaceful by members of the african-american krejci who put this together. i want to talk to c.c. and to kerry who are here today. tell me what is it ought about and why are you here today. >> we are here in protoast of the ferguson decision, i am here motivated by the youth, and youth voice, and organizing this rally, helping the pastors naacp. >> what kind of confidence do you have that we as a society can

move forward from this. >> this was pretty jarring the decision itself, so it leave as little -- i really am concerned for a lot of young people that's why i am here, because the young people have to move us back to justice and take over and continue to build that path. >> do you have any confidence we can move forward as a community, back, white, brown. >> i am hopeful, we have an amazing crowd here that is timed with elders and our youth, always hope. >> always hope. >> tony, i can't help but remember one of the great questions of the ages that we heard from rodney king so many decades ago, the similar question, can't we all just get along, unfortunately to this point we know the answer, we will see what happens moving forward. there's a lot of energy. >> and allen, the country

is still struggling to answer that question in the affirmative. allen, appreciate it, thank you. so the story of ferguson and the unrest is the tom trending story as you can imagine. >> so go fund me pages have been set up to help out some of the businesses effected last night, people have been assessing the damage, following last night's protests and posting pictures, you can see these are some cars that are burned up here, and this shop here, the woman that posts this picture says she goes there all the time, and she will continue to once it's been repaired and some volunteers have also been either boarding up some of the windows that were shattered or they are painting over the boarded windows. and people have also been using the #spl together. saying make no mistake, there's more to our city than racial tension and high crime. and you also have this

one from skyler, who writes we are all equal. who writes my daughter hope with her bff. and some people are asking to boycott black friday, saying a nationwide day of action, saying instead of looting it will hurt corporate america more to boycott black friday. just to give you an idea of the massive amounts of traffic, just last night after the announcement was made, this is what the twitter traffic looked like, this is just twitter nor than 3.5 million tweets and that's just the tweets that were written not the amount of people that saw those tweets. so you can imagine the amount of traffic on social media. >> and concerning for this evening, 700 national guards man on duty last night 2200 guards man will be in place tonight. we are expecting to hear from the president president obama attorney general eric holder, and st. louis police all

coming up in the next hour. we will bring that to you starting at about 5:30 eastern time. inside story with ray swarez is up next here on al jazeera america. lap >> this is inside story. >> hello, i'm ray suarez. it was jolting watching the presidenlk
