hello everyone. i'm andrea tantaros along with eric bolling, dana perino, greg gutfeld and bob beckel. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." lots of breaking developments today out of ferguson, missouri. police have released this surveillance tape showing michael brown stealing cigars in a robbery. police identified the officer who shot brown. >> the officer that was involved in the shooting of michael brown was darren wilson. he's been a police officer for six years. he has had no disciplinary

action taken against him. he was treated for injuries which occurred on saturday. >> and, and this is big, officer wilson did not know the teenager was a robbery suspect before his run in with him on saturday night. >> we were thinking it was the same officer who handled the robbery as was involved in the shooting. that is not the case. there were two separate officers. this robbery does not relate to the initial contact between the officer and michael brown. >> so, why did this wilson initiate contact with brown in the first place? chief jackson said the officer was in the area coming off a sick case and stopped him because the teen was blocking traffic. moments ago the brown family attorney said that they still want answers because it doesn't make sense if he didn't know he was involved in the robbery then why did he stop him, did he have probable cause? >> we heard from the chief and we believe that certainly and

the rest of the world sees it for what it is worth the pictures that were released and the video has nothing to do with what and how he was killed. that's very important. that people understand that and see it for what it's worth. >> still more questions than there are answers. six days later people are wondering why the police would release that surveillance footage in the stop and shop or in the store and bring up this alleged stealing of cigars. why do you think the police did that six days later? of it to make sure they had all the information, or i was just reading some blogs, they are doing this to taint brown. >> my instinct is to taint brown. the other thing if you follow this thing, they were supposedly blocking foot traffic, she was walking with his friend the officer moved him over to where he's standing and the kids had his hands up according to a number of witnesses. if that's true and then he shot him then this officer has a real problem. the other thing that's amazing

to me i understand a lot of blacks don't want police officers in that area and it's 80% or 90% white officers, but the elected officials are all white in that area so that's very unique. i can think of another place in the country where you have such a large minority population and no, i mean no elected officials that are minority. >> greg, we still don't have answers to what happened that night. i think we do have to bear with the police on some level because they have been busy quelling these riots. it's tough to get the investigation going when there's a dangerous situation in ferguson. >> an assessment can only be made once you have all the facts and we're not there. i think because of the media treat these stories, it feels like life should be an episode of "law and order" where it follows a distinct pattern with dramatic interalludes of music

and then at the end everything is wrapped up. it's not that way. the interesting point about this footage is that cameras end all ambiguity. we see this footage in the convenience store and it tells us something. imagine if you had that kind of footage between the police officer and brown later. cameras equal justice, cameras equal peace and footage clears the fog and i think we need to think about that, you know, because as you see more facts, it takes the black and white and makes it gray which is the way life is. >> a lot of people are trying to make this, dana, about black and white and about race. bob points out there are racial divisions in this town. i want to talk to you about the release of this information and what your take is from a press perspective. so six days later you have this surveillance footage released but it only was what? a couple of hours ago, four hours after that video was released that we learned from the police chief, four hours later that this police officer

had no idea he was involved in the robbery. why would they stagger them like that? >> the only thing i can imagine is that this is not something that the ferguson pr department, ferguson county, the police department is used to doing. these types of crisis communication things, the reason you have crisis communication staffers is because they are experienced in releasing information. maybe we'll find out there was a nefarious reason to release the tape. the tape was going to come out at some point whether it was released by the police officers or owners of the business. at some point we were going to find out more about michael brown. at some point that was going to come. i also think, bob, to your point there's one other statistic we haven't talked about. public high school graduation rate is about 69.8%. that's not good enough. when you talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations it's

in a community like that where school choice, reform -- if you start at the beginning of somebody's life and i think there's probably a lot of agreement on that then maybe you get to a point where you have police officers from that community, from all walks of life that are able to make it on the force. right now they are not there. >> i imagine you have to have at least a high school degree to be on the police force. >> or ged equivalent. >> a lot of people are frustrated and i get that because you look at this surveillance footage today and stealing a pack of cigarettes does not warrant somebody getting killed so you can imagine the outrage there. but everybody is up in arms, these rioters, civil rights leaders, nobody knows what happened after that what went down. >> i booked kevin johnson, jackson, i'm sorry because i wanted him, he was the one who was saying keep calm let's get the facts. i talked to him.

this information came out. i've been watching this stuff nonstop. this police chief thomas jackson from ferguson, at one point did say that the officers there were responding because there was a call -- they were doing the sick call. there was a robbery at the convenience store and they were responding. at one point he said that. i heard him say that. whether or not he back tracked on it the second time, i'm just baffled. taking it one step further and releasing this video that he says quote i've been sitting on for six days and then releases the name darren wilson, i have a hard time saying this ferguson police department has bungled this thing and the basis for a lot of the angst in ferguson. captain ron johnson kept the peace last night. he kept the peace. i'm sure he's scratching his head how am i supposed to handle this when the ferguson police

department is -- listen, i think they are screwing it up. they need to sit down, get together, this is what happened, we'll be as transparent as we can, if we listen to the brown attorneys and family and ask for calm and peace but here's all the information instead of this piecemeal release what they want to do and the way they are doing it is terrible. >> i wouldn't necessarily critique them releasing the video a couple of days later. rudy giuliani would wait a few days to put out the video. you make a good point, eric, it has been all over the place. why would they release a video and hours later this huge revelation that the officer had no idea. >> which is opposite of what he had said earlier. this morning he said, i've been listening to this stuff for days. at one point words came out of that police chief, he said they were responding because there

was a robbery at a convenience store. they were on another call. if you make that leap and hear those words, you are saying those officer left the sick call to respond to the convenience store and on the way there's a suspect that matches the description, he had said the description was put out over the radio of the convenience store hold up or whatever it is, theft. so he kind of implied and he may have even said it, but he implied that was the suspect they were looking for. now all of a sudden he back tracked this afternoon and said it was all about blocking traffic. >> al sharpton has been on the scene. he's been making comments. he says we're not out of this yet. take a listen. >> let's not act like we solved the problem because we've now had the cop marching with the marchers. we still have an unarmed young man that was killed. we're not out of this yet. we even haven't had the funeral. what happens when these kids see their friends laying in the casket. i've been through this more than

one time. we're not out of the emotions because we all of a sudden had one good night of marching. >> greg, we asked this question earlier, he may be exactly right we're not out of this yet because nobody knows what happened still. when he weighs on it does it hurt situations like this. >> whenever you discuss al sharpton you have to preface it with al sharpton's history. freddy's fashion mart which ended in a dnumber of deaths. the hoax that should never should be forgotten about this char charlatan. there's a number of sober voices drowning out sharpton. if he cared he would stay away because he harms the cause. when he shows up everyone moves away from him. he's like the stinky guy on the

subway. his stench is his history. we're getting somewhere and when you see people like johnson, finally there are people you can listen to and you're getting away from the charlatans. >> for sharpton to say we had one good night of marching, the fact is they had many good nights of marching. rioters were out there not part of the march. you want to say to al -- al thought it was one good night, probably wished it wasn't a good night. almost as if you're saying, all the rest of the marches were riots but we had one good night. maybe we'll get back to riots. that's not the case. there's a very small percentage number of people that committed these acts of violence. >> it's tough to differentiate because there's peaceful marches and then the riots. you look up al sharpton is weighing in. he's contributing to this. maybe he's not contributing to it at all. >> it's a great point about al

sharpton being marginalized. for the first time within this last year when he has spoken most people has gone oh, god not him again. ? just us talking about him. >> he get as lot of media attention. one thing this community will be doing next and the sober voices that you mentioned are the ones that have to look at this from a short, medium and long term perspective. the short term we're not out of the woods. medium is calm the situation down. medium term they have to have a transparent investigation and need a communicator that is disciplined enough not release information that they are not prepared to fully release so they don't have problems like today which undermine the confidence. in the long term a question of can that community pull together to deal with not only the shooting and the peaceful protest and rioting but what you saw in the videotape. when you're a small business

owner, if you're sympathetic to the business owner, why would the business owner want to be there. that's why i think there's three things that need happen simultaneously but they are not all on the' track. >> one more thing. when you release the information and you're transparent, when you get it, when it's ready and not been sitting on it you prevent things going on -- one of the worst things that have happened besides the death of michael brown. twice a group released the name of the officer. so they released this name and it wasn't him. then the second time we heard when the morning press conference, the officer's name darren wilson was released they were posting pictures of the wrong darren wilson who happens to be another cop in st. louis. you eliminate all this stuff. open and transparent. these people are probably hurt now. >> the other thing is we're guilty of it as every other network. the only video we're running is

either glass being broken and people rioting a small percentage and we've seen at least six times so far this kid being thrown out of this convenience store. now that is a part of the story. that's true. but it is a small part of the story, and they are making it to be the story. and i think people out there better under just because we run video of this stuff because we have nothing else to run -- >> what else would you run >> peaceful marchers. how is that for an idea. >> that was on tv today. we saw calm. we woke up this morning, calm night thanks to ron johnson. >> i'm talking about the two nights in a row where they had town meetings where people didn't get up and yell. >> you can move beyond that microcosm to the macro level of stories in general. the priority and proportion of stories are changing. we don't even talk about mh-17 the ukrainian plane. robin williams came and went in

a flash. isis. nigerian girls due to a desire for novelty. news is almost like pornography, disposal, replaceable. this story will be replaced by something else next week. that's the way it rolls. >> the hottest footage, the rioting and surveillance video gets rolled over. up ahead there's a lot of debate about the militarization of police in america following the response to the protests in ferguson. we'll debate that next. plus it's facebook friday so send your questions to "the five." you may have an answer. that's coming up. many of my patients still clean their dentures with toothpaste.

but they have to use special care in keeping the denture clean. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident is designed to clean dentures daily. its unique micro-clean formula kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains, cleaning in a better way than brushing with toothpaste. that's why i recommend using polident.

it's the new outrage the militarization of the police. is all that gear out of proportion to the fear? yes and no. yes, in that i question sniper rifles pointed at the peaceful and camo is odd. riots, you need riot gear. you can't stop anarchy with a

stern look. weeks ago people praised the dome. the dome is incoming rockets as body armor is to molotov cocktails. i bet businesses didn't mind the arrival of this calvary. but i get the libertarian take. their response is always don't. never do. which is great as a small government addict i'm a huge fan of don't it's why i want a program, a robot to say no and then run for president. but incidents like these are chaotic. no police officer wants to beat someone, tussle over a gun or resort to deadly force. so maybe it's better to look stairy than be scary. you don't need a sniper rifle to maim or kill. example a retired cabbie in his 70s knocked out for no reason. example, a pregnant woman knocked out for no reason.

example, the harmless jeffrey badgett, a punch in the head for no reason. the pentagon transferred half a billion just this year of equipment, 2013, it all came from afghanistan and iraq. is it a good thing that it's used? does it make sense? does it have any place in a civilian context. >> i've been watching this debate for a few years because people have been sounding the alarm for a long time, mostly from the far right or on the libertarian side saying why would any police community need this. now this is far fetched but i'll mention something. we talked about ebola last week and the concern what happens if it spread. when i was involved in an exercise where we did this simulation of if there was a pandemic flu what would happen if you had to close down a border in a state and need to contain that in a state or if

people were clamoring for the one cure and it was only in georgia and everybody was trying to get there. it seems far fetched and seems over the top, i don't think it was needed in this case, but do police departments need some type of heavy equipment? i would argue yes. >> that's the problem. for peaceful protests, no, but for rioting, how can you deny the body armor. >> look what happened when ron johnson walked with the protesters without a helmet, without a vest. he calmed things down. so the theory is, use equal force, use equal defense with the amount of force you'll see. i love the idea of using half a billion dollars that we spent giving it to s.w.a.t. teams around the country. i just don't think they should be deployed for peaceful protests, okay, rioting, looting, cops can handle that. they can handle it with tear

gas. they don't need be there on top of those big amphibious vehicles with guns looking down. i back the police but an equal response or appropriate response. >> bob, the senate will review the militarization of the police in the defense bill. do you think this will change anything? >> not really. i think you got all this excess equipment and they will put it some place. police departments who get it feel the need to use it. having said that, and sort of hard to put yourself in the position of a minority in a community like that but it feeds into their view of what the police are like. you see these people coming down the street with these camouflage things and s.w.a.t. rifles saying there they are, there's the cops they are after us. i think that -- first of all, the idea there was rioting, there were break ins and even burnings of buildings that's true. but the vast majority of the

people were not involved in that and there was no reason to bring out the patton and his army. >> bob, there's some businesses that were grateful that they were there because it prevented it from spreading. >> maybe that's so. if i'm a business i suppose i could say that. if i was there to peacefully protest and i saw that crowd coming down the street it would get me angry. >> over 20 years violent crime has dropped. 42.8%. little do with this. doesn't this make look weirder the fact that it's calmer but you still have this camo clad sniper look. >> i'm less worried about the guys in fatigues and military guns and rifles and all that equipment. because i'm not on the ground there. i'm assuming if they make the decision to use this type of armor it's because they definitely need it. but i think it's probably more of a pr issue. bob makes a good point you see these people coming down the street. i want doesn't look good.

i'm assuming they don't care if it looks good it's better than a dead cop which is what they are trying to prevent. however, there is an argument to be made that certain police forces, not all like the nypd has become part of its citizenry, some police fors have not and view the citizens as the enemy. more and more and that's why there are more libertarians coming out of the wood work. more and more police fundraisers are seeing the citizenry as the enemy. collecting license pilates. looking at people, do they have their seat belt on. people are feeling intimidated by the police lately and they shouldn't be acting this way. it's become the modern ethos of certain police departments. >> very good point. >> on that note next president obama has declared victory in iraq to rescue christian refugees from isis but many remain trapped. should the u.s. be heading out? >> later, facebook friday,

>> yesterday president obama emerged from vacation to declare our mission in iraq to rescue yazidis a success. >> the bottom line the situation on the mountain has greatly improved. because of these efforts we do not expect additional operation to evacuate people off the mountain and it's unlikely we'll need to continue humanitarian air drops on the mountain. >> but the yazidis, minority kurdish officials say many remain trapped and help is still needed to battle isis. retired four star general jack king said the u.s. needs to figure out a strategy against this growing terror network. take a listen.

>> has the initiative. they are attack right now in six different locations inside iraq, also attacking in syria and lebanon. this is an organization that's ambitious, has competent leadership and very determined. the fact of the matter they are destabilizing the middle east. we desperately need a strategy. >> and this just in from iraq officials, they say isis has just now massacred 80 yazidis in a northern iraqi town. those were the people we were going in to help. one of the concerns i have when the president came out yesterday is it felt very premature and look learn from previous mistakes. don't declare victory radiate especially when the next day 80 yazidis are killed by isis. does the president even care that it looks like they are behind the eight ball? >> first i would say 80 is a pretty good number for a jv squad. it's shocking president obama wouldn't as you point out not

learn of past mistakes from past administrations because he was very critical for your boss using mission accomplished. this to me sound like mission accomplished. >> it's apples and oranges. >> to say our job here is done. he's made comments about terrorism before, al qaeda being decimated. if defeating or obliterating the goal which he doesn't seem to be making that point we're far from that. he's allowing an evacuation war yazidis. if the goal is to save christians or save the yazidis this administration is a little too late. there have been major ethnic cleansing in any region that isis controls that have christian, in iraq and syria. this administration is way too late to the game. my question is what is the mission. what are we doing? is it obliterating isis. is it saving the yazidis? is it the both.

it's not helping eater of those two goals. >> i talked to some geopolitical experts today that said what their biggest concern not only is isis a brutal organization but they are very good operationally. this is not the keystone cops of suicide bombers. these are people we should consider a very worthy adversary. >> take that and add in the fact they stole $1.2 billion from an iraqi bank. this one they are stealing oil, iraqi i'll pipelines selling it, raising $3 million a day going into that group. if you know anything about these terrorist groups you're more likely to get more people joining up when you're paying them well. you're outfitting them well. you're giving them guns, cell phones. this group, ain't the jv and will only get stronger unless you cut off the funding. first and foremost protect those oil fields. >> greg you have some history living in britain and they talk

about the former british prime minister nevell chamberlain after he met with hitler. >> if you tell isis they might keep you alive for comic relief. on foreign policy obama is like a shower head in a cheap hotel, very, very weak. we do not have the luxury of deciding when america can sit out in a quarter of a game of good versus evil because evil never sits out. there's no such thing as half measures. our military never loses if you give them the option of winning. if they have a mission and told the mission they will go in there dynasty and relish it. but you just can't do drop, drop, drops. >> interesting, bob, a few congressional members were asking to be brought back from recess so they could vote on something we were talking about in the green room. do you think the president will at some point going to have to go to congress and say i need to

reverse course and i need your authorization to do so. >> in fairness to the president, he was talking about the people as refugees on the mountains. even the ngos say that the pressure has been released on they people and they are out of the mountains. what he's talking about isis what they did today in that town is horrible, but when you have not there you can be a jv and kill 80 people when you have no military there. where is the gutless iraqi military that we trained so well? >> it doesn't matter. >> it doesn't matter? >> foreign policy managed, designed to manage a news cycle. this is why there's no strategy. the only thing president obama wants to avoid is the headline that says isis slaughters women and children. that's all he wants to do. he knee jerks to manage the news

cycle. >> there was a policy in two administrations including obamas. they are gutlessly running with our equipment and leaving it behind. we put our money on maliki, he's a crook, he's a bum and finally got out. >> you don't think the president had anything to do with maliki's re-election in 2010. >> you said it was a fair and open election. >> bob, you're making my point. >> where did maliki come from? >> maliki won an election, won a re-election in 2010. >> where did he come from? when was he considered to to iraq. >> this is the weirdest academic exercise we're having this week. >> why? >> i can agree with you. the iraqi army is not up to par. okay, fine. now you of a all of these isis terrorists that are overrunning the country.

>> you say there's no strategy. the strategy was to make these guys a strong army. if they can't take these guys on they are gutless and the strategy of your administration and my administration failed. >> we have to do something about it. >> get rid of maliki and people like that who was put in there before obama was elected. >> and he was re-elected in 2010. we're looking forward to answering your questions. what can i do
