2:02 pm
crime rates in america are so shockingly high for a developed country. while we have these pockets of criminality, why these conditions exist. talk about how the job is for police officers to do day after day. melissa: talk about what the may said. can we play that for everyone in case they haven't seen it? >> it's a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other, things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. >> what? melissa: gave those who wish to destroy space to do that. comment got a lot of attention. she tried to walk it back saying her city were being destroyed by thugs in senseless way people fought for. that was much later. >> maybe that was a freudian slip. let's be clear here, president obama is factually wrong. this is not one burning building. there is reason why they're calling the national guard. it is not it is because the
2:03 pm
city, parts of the city, not whole city, obviously are in utter chaos. it is destroying neighborhoods and businesses. i will say this, the history, the aftermath of such violent protests like this, has not been good. look at newark, new jersey now. never recovered from what happened in the late '60s. >> that's true. although washington d.c. has. >> tremendous amount of federal money. >> i'm talking long before the money came in. there are other places that have survived like los angeles. melissa: we're talking about the reporters and media's role in all this. meanwhile let's show video. reporters getting hurt everywhere he goes trying to cover. talking about looping same building again and again. reporters risking their life. the cnn producer got knocked out by a rioter. did you see that? >> comes with the territory to do that. frankly i have a lot more sympathy for the businesses that were destroyed. the president says what building. charlie is right there were 15 buildings turned down.
