[sirens] >> overmoisture the national guard -- overnight the national guard called in. we are live with details. >> any moment a major

announce from wikileaks julian assange. we'll bring it to you live as it happens. >> your kids ignore your calls and your text messages? meet the mom who created this simple app to make sure this never happens again. >> and we thank her. >> that was elisabeth's voice. mornings are better with friends. >> look who's back from vacation. >> great to see you. >> i leave a couple of days and all heck breaks loose. >> all week it's bee slow-brewing real problem. in fact, ferguson has become international news. >> the national guard has been called into ferguson, missouri, to restore peace

after another night of chaos. look at that. [sirens] we believe those flares were actually fireworks set off by protesters. heather childers has the breaking news. >> we've been following this story all morning. the national guard set to arrive later this morning. this was the scene just before midnight. the curfew went into effect at that hour, and this is the second straight night for the curfew. but you can see police firing tear gas into the crowd of protesters marching toward a police command post. as many as eight people were arrested, two people shot as gunfire broke out. >> at 9:20 it was reported that mcdonald's was being overrun and employees locked themselves in the storage room. there were multiple additional reports of

molotov cocktails being savings and loan, police -- being thrown. makeshift barricades were set up to block police. bottles and rockets were thrown at police. based on these conditions, i had no alternative but to elevate the level of our response. for those who would claim that the curfew was what led to tonight's violence, i will remind you, it this incident began before 8:30. three and a half hours before the curfew was to have started last night. >> i feel like i should add those two individuals who were shot, we did receive a report that they were not shot by police. fox news producers on the ground have conflicting reports. they claim they did not see any molotov cocktails which we have received reports of. the unrest forcing the school district to cancel what would have been the

first day of school. back to you. >> thank you very much. thursday, last thursday was supposed to be the first day of school. they said come on monday. last night the school district put out the word don't come today either. school is not right. >> school is typically the best place a chies could be. the area looks like a war zone in the past week. it's interesting that the governor deploys the national guard through the night but yesterday he blames overmilitarization for raising tensions there, you know the video released. this is him over what brought this emotion to flare up. >> all of us were thunder struck by the pictures we saw. i mean, the overmilitarization, the guns pointed at kids in the street. all of that, i think, instead of ratcheting down, brought emotion up. >> who gave him his talking

points? al sharpton? he's blaming the militarization of the police force. they came out in strike but look what he asked for the next day. after doing five talk shows he called out the national guard. i don't think it is the time for the governor to set the tone if the police didn't come out with such force. i think he should be the voice of reason, more of a fact finding mission. he seemed to go out of his way yesterday going on five separate talk shows to exonerate himself for not speaking for five days. >> he said when you release pictures and clearly attempting to besmirch the victim, i think it caused this stuff. really back stepping. >> he's talking about the convenience store video that has many surprised. he said by the way that police officer was not responding to a robbery. a strong-arm robbery right

there. and would later find out virtually confirmed it is michael brown. >> it does look like him. bernie kerrick, once the police commissioner here in town defended the cops. he told the daily news this morning police can't be afraid to do their job. he said, quote, when the thugs try to take over the community, police have to act. meanwhile the attorney general of the united states acted yesterday. he announced that the family of michael brown asked for a federal autopsy, and he granted it. this on the heels that the "new york times" this morning has apparently the report from a private autopsy which was performed by our friend, dr. michael boden, former new york city chief. it shows six bullet wounds.

>> michael brown said he was shot in the back while running away. none were in the back according to michael boden who at 80 years old has done 20,000 autopsies. but he's not making any determination. he's just telling everybody what he saw. >> he did indicate he thought the way he was hit at the top of the head could indicate ducking or charging police as prior incidents have shown that location to indicate that. not specifically saying that was definitive in this case. boden said there is too little to tell what happened but this is new as it came in through the night. >> we don't have video of the actual event. it is one of the few events we don't have video of in today's society. it is interesting, you have an eyewitness there who said something similar to what the officer said on the next day, which was michael brown [inaudible]

into the car. wilson, the officer that did the shooting, reached for his weapon. he ends up getting out of the car and shooting him six times. but he had turned back towards him. the big question is, maybe not a big question but in terms of piecing the thing together, was michael brown taking a run at the cop afterwards? >> it does sound according to one of the eyewitnesses captured on tape where it was said there was a scuffle, they were together over by a truck. next thing you know michael brown takes off and turns around and comes back at the cop. so that could explain. there was one person who surmised that perhaps because one of the bullets, two bullets in the head, one toward the top, michael brown could have been going like that, kind of bulldozing towards the police officer. but this like so many of the other details was simply at this point we don't know what happened. >> the increased violence over the night, put everything to bed that things would become more

peaceful, that was not the case. marine one leaving martha's vineyard late last night. president obama will be getting briefed on what's happening in federal government son -- happening in ferguson today. peter doocy live with details. >> president obama is back in town today. he and his daughter malia had a late night return to the white house. they got in at about 12:40. looking at his schedule it is not clear yet which of the meetings required this interruption in his vacation. this morning the president and vice president will meet with the national security staff about iraq. then the vice president and the prz are going to have lunch. at 1:15 an oval office update on what's happening on the ground in ferguson, missouri, by the attorney general eric holder. when critics complained about president obama taking a two-week vacation

amid many catastrophes, administration officials fired back and said the president always travels with the kind of communication and staff that allow him to do his job as well on the road as he can at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the president is expected to rejoin his wife and daughter sasha in margt that is vineyard tomorrow -- martha's vineyard tomorrow and the tab for the run for these meetings according to judicial watch should be about $500,000. >> he did say this long after before there was a catastrophe in ferguson, before we are am ping up things in iraq, i'm coming back on the 17th. >> the speculation was a couple of weeks ago maybe he's coming back to do that executive amnesty thing. >> or could be a supreme court justice about to retire. >> everywhere you turn it looks more like iraq on our

home front when you look at ferguson. this is not a great situation to return to and try to fix from behind. we want to say good morning to ainsley earhardt. she joins us this morning, in for heather nauert. >> been up since early early. but good to be with you guys, thanks for having me. we do want to start with this fox news alert. moments ago julian assange speaking at a press conference. he says he is ready to leave the ecuadorean embassy in london after hiding this for two years. he did not go into details about why or when he is leaving. assange asked for political asylum to avoid extradition to sweden where he faces assault charges. the u.s. has been investigating him since 2010 when wikileaks published leaked military documents. the united states widening its air campaign in iraq. video shows u.s. airstrikes taking out militants, the barrage of militants

allowing iraqi and kurdish ground troops to take back part of the area. u.s. defense sources tell fox news is the fighting is far from over. texas governor rick perry will turn himself in today. he will be photographed and finger printed in downtown austin after an indictment of two felony counts of abuse of power. the problem stems from perry promising to veto roughly $7 million in funding for a public integrity unit that was run by this lady, the district attorney, a democrat who had been arrested and convicted of drunk driving. he says the whole thing is politically motivated. >> this is way outside of the norm. this is not the way that we settle differences, political differences in this country. you don't do it with indictments. we settle our political differences at the ballot box. >> perry says right now he is focused on this case and not a possible 2016 presidential run.

victim. >> how can the young folk of the city believe in a system that would try to spit on the name of a young man who hasn't even been buried? >> but as an already tense situation is underway, is sharpton making things worse? kevin jackson is the executive director of the black sphere. he joins us to weigh in. thanks for being with us this morning, kevin. >> my pleasure. >> what is your opinion here? is reverend al sharpton, is he making it better? >> didn't you hear his cash register go off? no, he's not making it any better. he is essentially doing the thing that reverend sharpton does which is throw up turmoil. and we're seeing it. he's been here a couple of days and it's gotten worse. they put ron johnson in charge, it's gotten worse. it's up to the level of barack obama. it's gotten worse. we're talking about bin laden -- we're talking about black leaders that

are supposed to quell things but it's gotten worse. >> he did say yesterday i don't want anyone looting. but the big story last weekend came into the picture nationally, is captain ron johnson. he grew up in the area. he came in. people in the area said they identified with him. he seems to be identifying more with the people than with his fellow officers. here's an example of how he says i understand you. >> when this is over, i'm going to go in my son's room, my black son, who wears his pants sagging, wears his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms. but that's my baby. >> is that the right message? what do you think the message is? what about the approach? >> of course it's the wrong message. the idea he emphasized that is o

show he's playing to the audience. these guys are losing sight. what they want us to do is lose focus on the idea that there are two sides to this story. sharpton got up there and made his comments essentially saying whatever the story is about this other, the man who is on the other side of this, darrell wilson, the cop, disregard his story. what johnson is doing, quite frankly, and he said something a little more incendiary before that if you ask me where he essentially said i stand here almost saying he was ashamed to be in the uniform. this is not the way you quell this incident and make people understand we have to have law and order. we have to have people that will look at both sides of an issue objectively. >> kevin jackson from the black sphere from the streets of ferguson, missouri, where there was more trouble last night, thank you have much. >> coming up, an incredible story. a man lost in the woods for five days with no food and water found.

>> bradley, your mom scaled mount kilimanjaro, served in the gulf war. why did you want to mess with her? >> i really don't. >> in terms of how this app works. how did you come to do this? how does it work? how can we start using it ourselves? >> i went from being a teacher to an app developer. it was self-taught. i started researching how to develop an app. from there i was able to find an awesome developer that walked me through the whole process. there we have ignore no more. >> you're texting or calling bradley. he's not answering, what happens? >> all i have to do is activate the app. a screen will come up and i press bradley's name. the next screen asks you to enter a four digit password. once i enter it i hit lock bradley's phone and voila

while you were sleeping the governor of missouri calling in the national guard to protect the city as violent clashes broke out hours before the midnight curfew went into effect. at least two people were shot. police were not involved in either incident. >> also this morning we received the results of an autopsy ordered by michael brown's family. the private autopsy shows he was shot six times, four in the right arm, twice in the head. that is not the last autopsy. brian, you've got more on that. >> that's right. attorney general eric holder also ordering

another autopsy, saying this. due to the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the family's request, the brown family that is, attorney general holder has instructed justice department if he believes to arrange for an additional autopsy, this after the d.o.j. tried to block the release of security footage of brown stealing cigars minutes before his death. what's behind the action? is it politics or justice? joining us to weigh in is the former deputy assistant attorney general in the bush administration thomas dupree. tom, what do you think? do you like the role of the d.o.j. right now? >> i think your question about whether this is politics or justice, i think the answer is there is a bit of both going on here. there is no question the justice department has a role to play in terms of investigating whether there was a civil rights violation. at the same time i think there has to be a p.r. element. the toning is very aware that the eyes of the -- the attorney general is aware that the eyes of the world

are on our response here in ferguson. they are trying to manage the response and delay the video. i think they are very aware that a lot of president's supporters are looking very closely at how they handle this case, whether they're doing the right thing in their judgment. for that reason the attorney general and others in the administration are very attentive to the p.r. aspects of what's going on here. >> as assistant attorney general, you know to clear the decks, we don't know that is michael brown. i watched the family's press conditioners and -- press conference and they basically admitted it was michael brown and said it he -- he wasn't a perfect kid. >> i think ultimately that video had to come out. people can disagree about whether it would have been prudent to delay it. as you pointed out we had michael brown's family, his lawyers speaking about him. originally they said he was

a gentle soul, never would have been involved in any activity. that video undercuts that narrative pretty much. i think you could have waited a day or two. i think the local officials should have given the federal government and state government heads up this was coming out before they released it but ultimately i don't think it would have made sense to permanently keep a lid on that or suppress it. it is a relevant video. >> if i put you the head of the justice department now how would you have handled thengz -- things differentlily? >> i think the d.o.j. is aggressive at this moment because of the zimmerman case. i think attorney general holder doesn't want that to happen again. for that reason we see heavy justice department involvement. we see the -- >> you said it is disturbing because you said they didn't want it to happen again? they didn't want the acquittal to happen again?

now the difference is you're dealing with law enforcement, not someone pretending to be in law enforcement. >> that's right. in the florida situation you had a lot of president's political supporters saying this needs to be made a civil rights case from early on. they didn't. they deferred to the state prosecution. it resulted in acquittal. the federal government looked at trying to build a civil rights case but it doesn't look like it is going to go anywhere. the administration got heavily criticized for that. they don't want it to happen again. they want to be involved, control event to the greatest extent possible. >> would you be upset if you were in the state right now? >> i think i would. i think i would say we need to work together. the justice department has a real to play but it is a concurrent role for state authority and local authorities. >> thomas dupree, former assistant attorney general under the bush administration. thank you.

it. that is what the rule of law is about, shannon. >> as we have said all along it is not about the veto. we believe we have the right to veto. it was his decision to veto. it was about the intimidation before the veto, about him using the veto as a coercion tactic to get her to do something she didn't want to do which was quit her job. >> the indictment is coming under attack from all sides of the political spectrum. law professor turley wrote it does not make for a particularly compelling criminal charge. l.a. governor jindal wrote the lawsuit against perry is misuse of the judicial system by liberal activists and the ensuing circus is a witch hunt. david axlerod tweeted it seems pretty sketchy. >> the latest on the texas governor. did you see the video of d.a. she was super drunk.

police officers wearing body cameras like this right here can make shooting investigations like what's going on in ferguson, missouri, a whole lot clearer. as you see firsthand when this carjacking suspect is arrested in arizona. watch. >> on the ground! on the ground! on the ground! [ bleep ] on the ground! stay right there. >> okay. no questions what happened there. meanwhile, the officer accused of shooting michael brown in ferguson was not wearing a body camera and experts say conflicting eyewitness accounts in ferguson could be avoided if he had been wearing one of these things. a cyber guy, curt joins us to show us how it works.

this is so simple. it's less than 1,000 bucks. explain for us why every cop wouldn't want to wear one? >> a petition on line is asking the same question, especially after ferguson. we're talking about a device that is a point of view from every officer. >> this is the output from this camera on this thing right here. >> it's live and streaming blue tooth to the officer's device. we happen to have it to an ipad. it would also go to their phone which would enable them to use it in a tactical situation. but back to the purpose of this camera and proving the point of view of an officer. initially officers are saying, wait a second. my privacy on on the job, lookig at me every step of the way. >> big brother is watching. >> yeah. and then they realize that it actual israeli a tool that helps tell the truth a lot better because their point of view -- for example, we showed the arizona video. imagine you pull over a drunk guy last night and he's filthy

mess and beer cans rolling out of the car and the next morning there he is in front of the judge sharp, with a suit on saying i don't drink. what are we talking about. when the officer says watch this video. done. it's that easy. let me tell you a little bit about why this is so important how this works. so officers, once they get this on, you're wearing it now, you would go into the scene. this would hold nine hours, 45 minutes of video. you can't change it as the officer. as soon as you get into a scenario where you're responding to what you think is important for it to be recorded, you would double tap the center button on the front and it will start recording. we could do that right there. you'll see boom, it's starting to record that inside the device. throughout the day, you're going to have moments like having lunch and the doughnut shop stop, you don't need that recorded. so you'll press and hold it and stop it. >> what would be the difference -- and there are some police officers who don't like the idea. but what would be different from

this than the dash cam video? >> good question. i don't know that there is much difference, except for the fact that you may be as an officer, going into somebody's home that they would claim that that is their own personal sanctuary. you can not come in here with cameras and make my life public. if the officer is going into your home, you a, either invited them in presumably, or they had a warrant and reason to be there, according to a court. so that would be their defense. >> who doesn't want this on every police officer in america? >> the drunk driver from last night, the person who has an other idea of a scenario. you might have an eyewitness to a crime that shot the video and from their perspective, they may have seen a shooting somewhere in america, they may have seen an incident happen where it looks totally different to them, but if you were to look at a bunch of video and a lot of the data is something else completely occurred. >> if that officer had been wearing one of these in ferguson, we wouldn't be talk being this. >> possibly. if you think about it, it would have enabled the chief of

police, it propelled a lot of mobs, and anyway, what it did, this would have allowed the police officers to come out and say, all right. we've got some data that tells us a different story and we feel firm about that, and quelled the mystery of the unfolding event. >> today he's wearing a badge. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> what do you think about that? do you think every officer should have one of cameras on them? e-mail us. curt is putting it on of the you can tweet us or facebook us. straight ahead, the unrest in ferguson, missouri, looking a lot like the rodney king riots. how did the mayor of los angeles at that time handle it? he joins us in the next hour. and proof police are out there to protect and serve. these photos of one cop's good deed going viral this morning. ♪ ♪ chico's leggings.

good morning. it is monday, august 18. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, more shootings, more violence in ferguson, missouri. overnight the national guard was called in. we are live with the breaking details straight ahead. are people like al sharpton making a difference in missouri or are they just dividing the crowd and making things worse? donald trump, a friend of al sharpton, is here to react live in 90 seconds. and the people who protest fallen soldiers have a new target. robin williams. the disgusting move by the westborough baptist folks you're not going to believe. by the way, on a lighter note, mornings are better with friends. wake up.

welcome back, everybody. it looks like steve, you're back from vacation. >> i am. you were on vacation the week before. so finally we're all back together. >> right. we did channel each other, just like when you asked, white and white together. where do we get these colors? >> we'll tell you in just a bit. >> listen, we're waking up on this monday morning and we've got some more big news. fox news alert. the national guard has just been called in to ferguson, missouri, to restore the peace after another night of violent attacks and looting. heather childers has the breaking details. there is a story out this morning that there could have been medical staff cocktail, all sorts of things going on.

>> there is some discrepancies in all of that. we do know this, the national guard is set to arrive later this morning. this was the scene, three hours before the midnight curfew went into effect for the second straight night. several businesses were vandalized. you can see the police firing tear gas into the crowd as protesters marched toward a police command post. we know as many as eight people were arrested. two people were shot as gun fire broke out. >> police were shot at, makeshift barricades were set up to block police. bottles and rockets were thrown at police. based on these conditions, i had no alternative but to elevate the level of our response. >> we're told those two people who were shot were not shot by police officers. the unrest also forcing the school district to cancel the first day of school. all of this is happening as

there is a brand-new autopsy report that reveals 18-year-old michael brown was shot six times. twice in the head and four times in the arm. the private autopsy done at the request of brown's family, but here is the thing, it shows all of the bullets hit brown from the front. feds are now planning their own autopsy. back to you. >> all right. thank you very much. now let's bring in donald trump. good morning to you, mr. trump. >> good morning. >> what do you make of what's going on out in ferguson? >> well, it's a terrible thing. it's a very sad thing. i was in india. i was all over the place during the course of this and i will tell you the biggest subject in india was what's going on in ferguson. i got a glimpse of it. very, very, very sad to see this happening. >> why does it happen and also i understand the iranian ayatollah tweeted out that there is racism in america. so we're not look good world wide. but in the big picture, we have a controversial situation where a guy dies in staten island

by -- at the hands of police. they were keeping him down or whatever they were doing. a lot of controversy. a lot of people outraged, but no riots. why are there riots there and not here? >> it just seems to have taken. this is a racial situation and nobody ever discusses that, nobody ever talks about it. but largely this is a racial situation, brian. it's a very sad situation. i will tell you outside of this country, they're making a very big deal of it because hear showing the united states is a mess and it is. and it's very, very sad to watch. i was in mumbai. i was all over the place and everywhere i went, this story was following me and i was watching it on television and they are making a very big deal of it outside the united states. it's very, very bad. it's a very bad thing. it's a very sad happening. >> good morning, mr. trump. looking at the videos, it doesn't look like something you would see coming from the middle of our nation here. ha do you think about reverend al sharpton getting in there?

he seems to be, as many say, fanning the flames. is he making it better? does he want it to get better and should he go back and continue talking? >> again, as i said last time with you, i know him very well. he's always been, believe it or not, a friend of mine. he was up in my office recently apologizing to me for something and i understand al. al sharpton is doing his thing. that's what he does. he fans flames, no question about it. he's doing his thing. he makes a living doing it. he's actually -- for him it's a cottage industry. he makes a living. does he believe in it? let's not discuss that. but he certainly creates a little bit of a cottage industry for al sharpton by doing it. this is the time when you can't be doing that. there is no question about it. this is really terrible. and this could spread to other parts of the country. do not kid yourselves. >> absolutely. mr. trump, are you saying that al sharpton, this is how he makes his money, by fanning these flames? this is his business?

>> well, this is an industry for al. it's small industry, but it's -- al sharpton is doing his thing. this is what he does. whenever there is a conflict, he gets out there and sometimes it's for the right and sometimes it's for al sharpton. but he gets up and he stands on a soap box and he rants and raves and he does his thing and people -- some people like it and many, many people don't like it. and many people don't dig it. you have a happening in new york city all the time with al. >> right. he seems more powerful than the mayor here. does he have a talk show. meanwhile, captain ron johnson has been called in because he grew up in the neighborhood to calm things down. it did not work last night. they called in the national guard. here he is relating to the community with his own situation. >> when this is over, i'm going to go in my son's room, my black

son, to where his pants sagging, wear his hat cocked to the side. got tattoos, but that's my baby. >> it's the wrong message. the idea that he emphasized that his son is black just goes to show that he's playing to the audience. look, these guys are losing sight that what they want us to do is lose focus on the idea that there are two sides to this story. he said something a little more incendiary before that if you ask me, where he essentially said, i stand here, almost saying he was ashamed to be in the uniform. i mean, this is not the way you quell this incident and make people understand that we have to have law and order. we have to have people that will look at both sides of an issue objectively. >> that was kevin jackson of the black fear saying what seems to be that the captain has a wrong method here in trying to lead. what are your thoughts, mr. trump? >> i think it's very simple, this is a racial situation.

it's not covered that way in the press. it's not even discussed in the press. they don't want to discuss it. they stay away from it. >> i don't agree with you. >> whether people like it. >> all they're talk being is the race thing. >> no, they're not. i don't think -- i think it's a very strong and in fact, chicago is another situation. it's a very racial situation out there. if you look at what's going on here and chicago and other places and the press really seldom talks about it. you looked at it here, as soon as you mentioned his black son, the audience went wild and applauded. that's a very sad situation, very sad for the country. people understand it. in my opinion, the press does not really discuss it. they talk about riots, but they don't say what's at the core of the riot. frankly, it's a very big problem in this country and it's a problem that is not discussed or certainly not discussed in any

great detail and it has to be. >> surely. >> talking about chicago, 29 shot, five dead over the weekend. >> meanwhile, let's go down to texas. rick perry indicted by a democrat d.a. and a grand jury for high crimes, abusing his office. does this -- he says this is not how you solve a political dispute. clearly it was a political dispute. he says it's a witch hunt. what do you say? >> i think it's a disgrace. i know rick perry. he's a good person. but i think it's an absolute disgrace. he vetoed something and he got indicted. does that mean every time a politician, including the president would veto something you get indicted? i think it's -- it's been -- alan dershowitz, who is a terrific guy in a lot of ways, he came out with a pretty blazing statement and people that you would never expect would support rick perry.

this is a disgraceful situation. >> right. >> out of control. >> what the governor did was he said that unless the d.a., who was arrested and convicted on dui stepped down from this board she served on, an investigative board, he was going to veto the money to fund the board. that just looks like politics. >> how many times has a politician said, i'm not going to fund it unless this or that happens? and they say it all the time. >> every day. >> i heard it the other day on something totally unrelated. this is an absolutely disgraceful situation. and unfortunately, it happens in texas quite a bit. kay bailey, if you look at that, if you look at tom delay and ultimately they got out of it. it was from the same -- it emanated from the same area. i think i'm going to stay out of that area. that's a very dangerous area to be in. i may utter the wrong word. i may utter -- no, seriously, for the governor -- and i think it's going to end up making him bigger and stronger.

>> helping him for 2016? >> i don't know. that, i don't know. certainly his plans are waylaid. but i think ultimately this could actually make him bigger and stronger, the way he handles it is very important. but it is an absolute disgrace. this isn't from donald donald. this is from virtually every legal scholar that's seen it. this should never have happened. then when you look at the woman who did it in the drunken stupor, i mean, give me a break. >> her drunken stupor wasn't a huge story. now everyone is look at this video. it could have boomeranged on her and her supporters. donald trump, glad to have you back state side. >> thank you very much. >> it's 7:11. we turn to ainsley with the news. >> thank you. just one hour ago, julian assange making a shocking announcement that he will leave london after hiding out there for two years. he did not go into details about

why or when he's leaving. he has verbally attacked the white house. the justice department, and the f.b.i he asked for political asylum to avoid extradition to sweden where he faces assault charges. another fox news alert. kurdish and iraqi forces now have full control of the mosul dam. and this new video illustrates why u.s. air strikes taking out isis militants at that dam. the barrage of missiles allowing the iraqi and kurdish ground troops to take back that crucial area. a spokesman for the iraqi army saying the dam is fully liberated. texas governor rick perry will turn himself in today. he's going to be photographed and fingerprinted in downtown austin after an indictment. the charges stem from perry promising to veto $7 million in funding for a public integrity unit that was run by this lady, the district attorney, a democrat, who was arrested and convicted of drunk driving.

>> this is way outside of the norm. this is not the way that we settle differences, political differences in this country. you don't do it with indictments. we settle our political differences at the ballot box. >> perry says he is focused on that case and not a possible 2016 presidential run. a heart warming moment caught on camera. an ohio police officer goes above and beyond the call of duty. officer tom ondecker helping this man in the wheelchair, helping him carry his groceries back to the have where he lives. police were called to help out when several people saw the man struggling to cross the road. those are your headlines. >> nice story. >> very nice. thank you. 13 minutes after the hour. the unrest in ferguson, missouri, looking a lot like the cod knee king riots. how did the mayor of los angeles at that time handle it? he's here next. and do you really know what's in the food you buy at the grocery stores? the government sure doesn't. the shocking new report about what you're really eating

fox news alert. missouri governor dixon deploying the national guard to the city of ferguson after, get this, another night of violent

protests and clashes with police. this as a local law enforcement struggles to contain the growing riots. they thought they were on top of it on thursday. they weren't. they've now taken over the streets. >> many people comparing this to the l.a. riots that broke out in 1992. richard riordan was the nature right after those lie yachts and he -- riots and he joins us from the city of angels. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> you see parallels between what's happening in ferguson and what happened in los angeles? >> you always see parallels, but what i see in los angeles is you have to have one leader. you can't have a bunch of leaders getting on tv every few minutes and telling a different story or a different twist to it. it confuses people. and the bottom line is what i learned was beware of immediate reactions. wait until you have all the facts before you talk to the

public. >> that would be key. number one. so where does that leadership come from to decide who speaks and represents the riot areas, the region, the people? >> well, in this case you would hope it was the governor because i get very confused as to what leadership ferguson has. ferguson is part of st. louis, but it seems to have a separate chief of police and all that. but bottom line is, the mayor of st. louis, the governor of the state, one of those people should have taken over control. they should have included the chief of police so they're not just ignoring them. but it's one person that's making the decisions. >> there is one person who left his tv show on another channel, al sharpton, and has injected himself into the ferguson situation. what do you think of him? >> oh, he's a total disgrace. the interesting thing, i've met him. i had breakfast with him once

with one other person and he's very well educated. he's not fooling anybody. but he really does not know the black community. >> wow. mr. mayor, when it comes to looting, you got to crack down quickly and it stops. they haven't and it hasn't. >> right. and it hasn't and so it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger. then the big question is, they look like militia in iraq now with the uniforms that the police have on and then it's going to scare everybody, particularly the black communities. >> sure. and the national guard has been called out as well. so that's going to get a lot of attention. the mayor's got a new book out called "the mayor, how i turned around los angeles." thank you for joining us today. >> comes out september 30. thanks, mr. mayor. >> thank you very much.

quick headlines for you. abc news anchor elizabeth vargas continues to struggle with her addiction. the host checking into a california rehab center over the weekend. vargas, who has been struggling with alcohol addiction for years, says overcoming alcoholism can be a, quote, long and difficult process. a terminally ill woman in new zealand had always wanted to meet robin williams. so months before his death, he sent her this touching message.

>> robin williams here, saying hey, girl. what's going on down there in new zealand. sending all my love to you, jack and sophie. mark this off your bucket list. i said hey, hey, hey, what's going on? it's all right, all right, all right. much love to you, baby. >> that's great. the day of his death, the woman's facebook page paid tribute to the, quote, wonderful man, robin williams. elisabeth, over to you. >> thank you, steve. oregon mother taking heat for smoking medical marijuana during pregnancy and that's not all. she plans to keep smoking while breast-feeding. should that be allowed or should someone step in? an attorney thinks the mother should be stopped and an attorney says this is within the mother's right. thank you both for being here. good morning. so let's start, why is this within a mom's right to continue using medical marijuana during breast-feeding? >> there is no evidence

whatsoever that this is going to hurt the child. of course, i understand there is a moral argument that a woman shouldn't smoke marijuana or drink alcohol, but there is no evidence here. it is legal. this is medical marijuana in the state of oregon, or i believe it's oregon where she was -- her mid wife told her that she could smoke it to treat anxiety. there is just no evidence whatsoever. so i understand the moral argument, but in the legal realm here, there is no reason whatsoever why she can't. >> okay. so there is a study out there, california pregnancy research group put forward some effects that marijuana could have on infants and one is brain development, growth restriction, lower birth weight. i have yet to see a study that says it's clearly clear for someone to smoke and not affect at all. i think research is yet to come. but where do we go from here? can this really be the case? i was told i couldn't even have coffee, it would get to the baby. >> well, what i think is more research needs to be done

because medical marijuana usage has been legalized in over 20 states. so this is going to come to the forefront right now. and being under the influence of marijuana might actually impact the mother's ability to care for the child. so a greater question that comes into play here is what would happen if something happened to the child when the mother was caring for it under the influence of marijuana? then the mother could be arrested -- >> but there is no evidence of that whatsoever. let's just talk about alcohol, for example. the reason why this story came to light was because the hospital wanted her to sign a waiver because they knew that she was smoking marijuana. what about women who are alcoholics or who are on prescription medication, vicodin, valium, whatever, they don't require that a mother sign a waiver in order to leave the hospital or to warn them of the effects. this is ridiculous. this is discrimination of a woman smoking marijuana.

>> if there was a waiver that need to be signed for all medication if a mom indicated she was going to proceed with breast-feeding and taking this medication for those, should it then in effect for marijuana? >> yes. >> all medication, should we sign waivers? >> child protective services can step in when a child is born to a drug dependent mother and the child itself is drug dependent. >> we're not talking about a drug. we're talking about now it's become a medical substance. so this isn't a crack baby or a heroin baby or whatever that was born drug addicted. this is the question as to whether or not the marijuana will then transfer over through the breast milk to the baby? there is no evidence of that whatsoever. >> do the benefits of breast-feeding here outweigh the risks of smoking medical marijuana? this will soon be proven, i'm sure, by some research. it makes some people uncomfortable that the baby would be used as a guinea pig. i want to thank you both for being with us. let us know what you think about that. tamara and deborah, thank you.

>> thank you. coming up, more on our top story in ferguson. first it was cops, then it was highway patrol. now the national guard has to be brought in. up next, a detailed look at the blown response in the michael brown investigation. then he was lost in the woods for five days with no food and no water. how the movie "castaway" saved this guy's life. ♪ ♪ woman: jimmy, all of these travel sites seem the same.

fox news alert, the violence in ferguson has gotten so bad, the governor of missouri just called in the national guard to protect the city. you are looking at the scene last night three hours before the midnight curfew went into effect. protesters vandalized stores. at least two people were shot. police were not involved in either of those incidents. meanwhile, the divisive political rhetoric is starting to heat up. >> i heard some of the senators talking, but where are the leading candidates for president? jeb bush, hillary clinton, don't get laryngitis on this issue! nobody can go to the white house lest they stop by our house and talk about policemen. >> that's reverend al. meanwhile, the obama administration inserting itself into the investigation. joining us right now to weigh in is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr.

>> unfortunately, that house is burning down this morning in ferguson. the house that al sharpton wants to preside over. this is somehow about the white house and about presidential candidates. incredible. >> are you surprised the attorney general weighed in so heavily? he's given in to the family's request for a third autopsy by the federal government. he said yes. is it right? >> it's inherently political. it's not right. it's wrong. michael bodien, greatest forensic pathologist in the country, done independent autopsies. the state is doing an autopsy. this is done to appease crowds. this is done to mollify the masses. this is done to say the president is in it, the president cares about michael brown. this is absolute garbage. this is nonsense. it's disrespectful to michael bodien. it's disrespectful to the local authorities. and the federal government is saying time and time again, 40 f.b.i. agents, they're saying the president is calling on three, four times a day.

that's what he's preoccupied with during his vacation. he's saying i'm going to see what happens there in ferguson. i'm going to get justice done. >> it is international news. everyone is talk being it. >> it is international news. but wholey a state matter. it's a state and local matter. and so the president has bumped it up. he put the state police in charge. the state police have screwed it up. now the national guard are coming in. it's a mess. >> when you say screwed it up, peter, are you alluding to the fact that is it the video that was released with michael brown allegedly involved in that strong arm robbery? is that a misstep? >> no. i think that's a relevant and logical piece of evidence and they say it was done with regard to media request and there have been calls for transparency. this has been screwed up by an effort to somehow have some identification with the rioters, to say i'm one of you, i'm with you. i'm from you. and then apologize for something that has not been adjudicated

either by indictment or by conviction. the police officer has not been arrested, indicted, or convicted. now, he may be. we know there have been six shots. explain the six shots. it sounds crazy. it sounds wrong with regard to an unarmed man. but justice will determine that. not crowds in ferguson. and to say, well, i'm sorry for what's been done and almost that i'm embarrassed, that's not right. that's wrong. >> and that is exactly what ron johnson, who is the captain in the missouri highway patrol seemed to be doing with this, unfortunately. >> i want to know my heart goes out to you and i say that i'm sorry. i wear this uniform and i should stand up here and say that i'm sorry. >> what's your problem with that? >> i think he's a great police officer. i think he's emotionally overcome by the moments and the nights he's been subjected to.

i think he's become too close to the situation to be dispassionate and to be objective going forward. to say to a crowd that you're sorry when the police officer has not been arrested, dewpointed or convicted, when he doesn't know all the evidence, what is he saying that he's sorry for? when you do that, because i've been in near riot and riot situations, when you do that, then you give the crowd some cred. you say even the commanding police officer thinks we're right. we have legit legittization. >> when can we expect anything to be done on this case legally? will there be an indictment? >> i think what has been a failing, there has been a failing in terms of the district attorney and the attorney general in that state laying out what the robust investigative process is and giving confidence to people. not rioters.

i'm saying giving confidence to the people in that community, people who want to keep the peace in that community and throughout that state as to what the process is going to be and how it's going to be accorded and what evidence they're going to look at and whether this man, the police officer, will go in front of the grand jury. he may be arrested. he may be indicted. he may be convicted. he may be wrong. we don't know who was wrong on that particular day. but justice should await the determination of justice. it's not a matter of taking justice in your own hands and it's not a matter of dictating justice from your vacation retreat in the northeast of the united states at all. this is for the people of ferguson. this is a people up. not a government down process. obviously we've got a lot of work to do in this country and a lot of work that the president has failed at. the unemployment rate in the african-american community twice what it is of white americans.

like gay people. aaron jackson, the founder of planting peace is the man behind the pushback. aaron, you heard about this. you took action. what did you do? >> i read in the news that the westborough baptist church is planning to protest his funeral. so my mind started spinning on what we could do to counteract their message. i thought why not throw a fund-raiser for robin's favorite charity. so i did a little research and saw that was saint jude and so we put together a fundraising page for saint jude and we posted it on our charity facebook page and just let the world know what we were doing and got a positive response right away. >> so you got $1,000 right away. you're going to continue to get money now, like for example, go to saint jude's web site. have a special robin williams button there? >> yeah. go to planningpeace.org and make a contribution. >> in his name. he had so many. comic relief. he did other things. >> he did a lot. >> we ran a tape last half hour of a tape he made for someone suffering from cancer.

that's the type of person he is. do you feel as though you can use this evil towards good in a major way now? >> that's our goal. part of what we do is counteract the message of the westborough baptist church. we try to turn any negativity into something positive. that's what we did was this. we can't necessarily stop the westborough baptist church from showing up to his funeral, but what we can do is turn it into something positive and why not raise some money out of this and give it to robin's favorite charity? >> a lot of baptists watch and say they're not baptists. i don't believe they are baptists. what i hope is local law enforcement can make a move and they can let them protest, but push them away from the actual place in which the ceremony is taking place, especially if it's private. i hope they're able to do that and somehow get to your cause. one more time, how do we support robin williams' life through your move? >> visit plantingpeace.org. so far we've raised almost

$50,000. we need to keep going up. saint jude is a phenomenal organization that deserves to be flooded with all our funds. >> yep. children's childhood cancer. aaron jackson, founder of planting peace, thanks so much. >> thank you. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. let's talk politics. governor rick perry responding to being indicted for abuse of power, saying he would do it again if he had to. now he's getting support from an unlikely democrat. but first we switch gears. on this date in 1920, the 19th amendment passed granting american women the right to vote. 1992, larry bird retired from the nba. that was big news for that. not nearly as big as the 1920 news. in 1996, the number one song in america which steve is dancing right now "the macarena." ♪ ♪

7 minutes to the 207 of the hour. quick headlines now. 13 children are hospitalized after at least one of them gets sick from swimming in a hotel pool near the denver airport. the children ages six to 17 years old are all in good condition this morning. it's not clear exactly what made the kids sick. an investigation is underway. this gives a whole new mean to go carpooling. an elderly man in southern california crashes his car into his backyard pool. he told police he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes when his flip flops got caught in the pedal. the 85-year-old got out thankfully unharmed before the car went under water. wow. what an image there.

>> oopsy daisy. seven minutes before the top of the hour. did you see this? governor rick perry of texas was indicted by a travis county texas grand jury, which by the way we should point out has a democrat d.a. he was indicted for misusing his office because he said he would not fund to the tune of $7 million, this public integrity panel if the d.a. stayed in her job. the d.a. was arrested when she was way drunk. that's her mug shot. we're not even showing you the video because she kicks the door, she does all sorts of crazy stuff. says call greg. >> rose mary lehmberg, blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit in texas at the time she pleaded guilty to drunk driving in april of 2013. >> and she would not quit. rip relationship said i'm going to veto it medicals she quits and she wouldn't. >> do you realize he's facing maybe prison. >> five to 99 years for the

first charge. >> let alone the second charge. so it's amazing who has come to his side. among them, alan dershowitz, who says it's outrageous this indictment. >> sure. here is rick perry about what is happening to him. it's politics. >> the public had lost confidence in her and i did what every governor has done for decades, which is make a decision on whether or not it was in the proper use of state money to go to that agency and i vetoed it. that's what the rule of law is really about, shannon. >> right. and he went on to say, look, when you have a political disagreement, you settle it at the ballot box. you don't indict people. >> interestingly enough, the reaction is surprising people. david axelrod tweeted this, quote, unless he was demonstratably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than the stated reason, perry indictment seems pretty sketchy. >> oh, boy. >> yeah. >> there is nothing there. >> a lot of people are against it. sarah palin also reacts.

this ridiculous politically motivated indictment of rick perry stems from the ugly thug tact ticks -- tactics that the left is known for. >> ted cruz wrote this on facebook, unfortunately, there has been a sad history of the travis county d.a.'s office engaging in politically motivated prosecutions and the latest indictment of the governor is extremely questionable. of course, this comes at a time when he's riding high, doing better in the polls. he's been very strong in the immigration issue down in texas. will this damage him for 2016? some are saying it could actually make him stronger. but it's going to take a toll on his pocketbook. you look at some of the other prosecutions that have been reversed. kay bailey hutchison, tom delay, all cost them a lot of money to prove they were innocent. >> and ultimately they were not convicted. they were exonerated. straight head. >> reporter: president obama and eric hold be taking strong interest in the unrest in ferguson, missouri. what are their plans? bret baier joins us live from washington with his perspective.

paying for. up next, a simple way to make it impossible for your kids to ignore you. pay attention 'cause mornings are better with friends. we're going to get to that fox news alert. the national guard is on its way to ferguson, missouri after violence erupts again. >> that was the chaotic scene three hours before the second night of the mandatory curfew. you can see cops firing tear gas into the crowd of protesters as they march toward a police command post. >> police were shot at, makeshift barricades were set up to block police. bottles and rockets were thrown at police. based on these conditions, i had no alternative but to elevate

the level of our response. >> then the governor called up the national guard. the unrest also forcing the school district to cancel the first day of school again. it was supposed to be last thursday. then they moved it to monday. this morning we received the results of an autopsy ordered by michael brown's family. it shows he was shot six times, four times in the right arm and twice in the head. all on the front, not in the back. bret baier joins us every monday morning at this time and he joins us right now from washington, d.c good morning to you. >> good morning. >> this is big news that the governor has called up the national guard and in addition to the governor, you've got eric holder. he says the f.b.i. is going to be investigating. he wants his own federal autopsy. where is this going? >> clearly the justice department believes that it's imperative for the federal government to get involved to assure people that all that's going on on the ground with

authorities there is accurate and on the up and up. so the doj, department of justice stepping in, the attorney general saying he wants this third autopsy despite the fact that we had a private autopsy, as you mentioned, conducted with the release yesterday from dr. michael bodien, who we all know very well, saying that those six gunshot wounds, four in the arm, two in the head. the president is going to meet with the attorney general today at about 1:00 o'clock for an update on the situation in ferguson. and missouri governor jay nixon feels compelled to call in the national guard because he believes the situation is getting worse. the authorities on the ground are trying to say that there is a difference between the protesters who are out there peacefully protesting and the provocative ones. >> photographers are set to

capture the meetings that the president will have, both allowing pictures to be taken there. also the president is said to get briefed on iraq here. is there any indication that boots on the ground will be the next step given air strikes have been occurring here and forced into the region? >> you know, it's tough to say. i think there are calls on both sides of the aisle for a stepped up iraq strategy. but they had a big victory this morning with the iraqi forces and the kurdish forces retaking the mosul dam thanks in large part, many believe, to the u.s. air strikes. more than 25 of them over the weekend that helped those fighters take back the mosul dam from the isis terrorists. that's a big deal because that dam could be used to stave off southern iraq of water. it could also be used as a weapons of mass destruction if they wanted to cause a wall of

water to go toward baghdad. >> among its critic, congressman angle. he was on one of the sunday shows and senator ron johnson. they weighed in on what the president needs to do because isis is different from iraq. >> i don't think we have the luxury of putting our heads in the sand and saying, it's over there and we're not going to do it. i think what we're doing now is effective. we've got to do more of it. ultimately, we may have some boots on the ground there. >> first of all, i would never say never. i don't think you need combat troops there. but again, i would not encourage the president to say what he is not going to do up front. i don't think anyone believes that that's the right solution for this particular problem, but we need to send a message that we are willing to stand up against growing terrorist organizations. >> that was chairman mike rogers. ron johnson did say something similar. very interesting, bret, to see a democratic congressman come out for more strength when it comes to iraq. >> yeah. a lot of these lawmakers, brian,

are seeing intelligence that indicates that isis is much more virulent, stronger than al-qaeda and has bigger plans to attack the u.s. and to attack western interests around the world. so they see the threat from isis growing and believe that it needs to be stopped in iraq. the question is how far do you go? and this administration clearly by what the president has said, has been reticent to say that boots on the ground, whatever size, whether they're special operators calling in air strikes or anything is going to happen. right now the kurdish forces are the strongest forces pushing back against isis. >> we're blowing up our own stuff, too. armored personnel carriers. we're blowing up our own stuff that the iraqi just ran and left. >> amazing. the isis group has now formed into this terrorist army that

has absorbed all of the equipment that we left for iraqi forces and then they left as soon as isis went into mosul. >> sure. plus they knocked over some banks. they've got tons of dough right now and gold, so it looks like they're unstoppable. but that's our job. so the president -- we just saw the image of the president coming back to washington last night. i think at 1:00 o'clock something in the morning. it's curious, bret, this come back to washington in the middle of the two-week vacation, it's been on the books for ten days, two weeks, but you couldn't possibly have known about ferguson. and it's doubtful they knew about isis. so is that why he's coming back, just to do something, to look like he's not on vacation for two weeks? >> there has been a lot of speculation. they would have known about isis obviously and the development in iraq and how it was kind of going south. they would have known about a lot of foreign policy crises and perhaps it's the image of the president back at the white house working in between his

two-week vacation. there was speculation there was more to it, that it could be meetings about possible immigration action, executive action. right now on the schedule it is ferguson and national security briefing. so we'll see. this may have been just an interim in the middle of this two-week vacation when the world is a tough place. >> sure. going back to the white house to punch the time clock. all right. bret baier punches the clock a 6:00 p.m. eastern time. check him out on "special report." he's got a great panel. >> we'll see you then. thank you. 8 minutes after the hour. i saw ainsley typing away. did you come up with any news? >> i have a few scripts that i'll get through. julian assange making a shocking announcement this morning. he says he's leaving the embassy in london after hiding out there for two years. but a spokesman later clarifying that the only way he'll be able to leave is if the impasse over his extradition is resolved.

assange wouldn't say why he is wanting to leave. the 43-year-old asked for political asylum to avoid extradition to sweden where he faces assault charges. another developing story that sounds like something out of a spy movie, armed robbers ambushed a motorcade of a saudi prince in paris, france. they stole a care amount of money. the prince was travel not guilty a three-car motorcade when that ambush happened. the gunmen made off with $330,000. they also snatched one of the drivers, but later let him go. the site where this happened is one of the few places in paris not covered by surveillance cameras and police say the gunmen knew that. tragedy during the san francisco 49ers debut at levi stadium. a fan died after having a heart attack during the third quarter of that preseason game against the denver broncos. he was sitting in the sunny part of that stadium where temperatures reached 80 degrees. monet davis and the dragons

we're back with continuing coverage of a fox news alert. missouri governor jay nixon deploying the national guard to the city of ferguson after another night of violent protests and clashes with police. >> one of the targets, the convenience store where cops say

michael brown was spotted on the surveillance video that you've all seen by now, robbing the clerk before his deadly confrontation with police. joining us right now for his first interview, jay dense letter, the attorney for the owners of the ferguson market. it has been the eye of the storm. jay, thank you for joining us. tell us what these owners have been through since the surveillance video became public. >> they were notified very late in the evening on thursday that the video surveillance tape would be turned over. they tried to reach out to the folks and through the media on friday, saying listen, we've had a warrant for this hard drive. we turned it over. please know that this is not about us. we stand with the people of ferguson. we were very hopeful that things had calmed down after thursday. they did not. it got very ugly on friday night.

looting took place. and at that point the police had basically been told through the governor's office to stand down and it got very ugly. >> fox affiliate caught someone holding a sign saying ferguson market did not shoot michael brown. can you tell us about that? >> sure. if you were watching on friday night when the police were standing by, the citizens of ferguson kind of jumped in and stood arm in arm up against the looters and that group that was set on doing things other than protesting the situation with michael brown. those same people stood with us when we went down there early in the morning to take back the store and it was their way of saying, listen, this isn't about the folks at ferguson market. it isn't about our community. it's about something completely different. we stand with the people from ferguson market just as the

people of ferguson market stand with us when it comes to this investigation. >> jay, how much damage has been done to the store? how many days has the store been closed because of this? >> the damage was substantial, if you watched it, you could see the looters coming out carrying whatever they wanted. one guy was carrying the cash register out. the damage was substantial, but they were able to piece it back together, open back up on saturday. unfortunately, things did not get any better saturday night and they were closed down again. they opened for a few hours yesterday. closed at 4 and at this point, they're just not sure what they're going to do now that the national guard has been called in. >> do you believe that the national guard will provide resolve here or is it going to get worse before it gets better? >> you know, i think the people of ferguson, including my clients and the business owners, they're just desperate for some calm. unfortunately, i'm not certain that anyone has any level of confidence that that's going to

occur. every night it seems to be something different. but it always results, always ends up being violence. >> jay, the owners really victims in this situation. he didn't even call the cops. it was somebody in the store that called the cops. so why the community seems to be blaming them and targeting them is beyond me. jay, thanks so much. >> you're very welcome. thank you. coming up, texas governor rick perry will turn himself in today on two felony accounts. but is this indictment just one big political witch hunt? liz cheney weighing in on that next. and it's not even close to christmas. but one major retailer is rolling out the holiday hours already. >> for back to school? >> i think for christmas. ♪ ♪ chico's leggings.

$7 million. she didn't resign. he didn't fund it. case closed, you would think. now this right here where she fails the sobriety test. isn't this just how politics works? isn't it crazy that the court system suddenly involved, liz? >> absolutely. it's absurd, the indictment itself is absurd. governor perry was right on the policy. he didn't think that somebody who violated the law, who abused law enforcement officials as she does when you watch that video, who asked for special treatment repeatedly as she does when you watch that video. he didn't think that somebody like that should be in charge of the public integrity unit. and completely right as a matter of policy and he was also completely right as a matter of the law. he has authority under the texas constitution to veto legislation. he has authority for line item vetoes. so what he did here was totally legitimate, completely within his authority, and it's an absurd indictment and clearly

motivated politically. >> sure. and ultimately, this is probably going to have the same fate as the case against kay bailey hutchison and tom delay where other courts said what were they thinking when they came up with this? but it's going to eat up the political oxygen for a little while and cost him a lot of money to clear his name. >> right. the absurdity of the indictment is one thing. the fact that we're now p a very dangerous situation where you got political opponents of the governor attempting to use the court system to go after him, it really is dangerous. when you've got people like alan dershowitz who said look, he would never vote for rick perry, but this is not the kind of thing our court system should be doing, we've got to be concerned. i think ultimately, although you're absolutely right, this could result in a lot of personal cost for the governor, from a political standpoint, i think it helps him. it helps him to be -- demonstrating clearly that he'll stand up for the rule of law and what's right, that he will not

be bowed or cowed into doing something he doesn't believe is right by an out of control prosecutor. i applaud him for that and i think there are a loft conservatives who do. >> what do you do about the out of control prosecutors? there is an op ed today in the "wall street journal" that says the prosecutors have got nothing to worry about. nobody is coming after them. why doesn't the governor file charges against them? they write file civil rights actions against the prosecutors personally and maybe they'd stop with the crazy stuff. >> yeah. i think it's an interesting idea, that if you get to a situation where those prosecutors know that they've got a personal obligation, a personal liability if they exceed their authority as this one clearly has. when you see the damage that can be done by a prosecutor who has absolutely unlimited power as this one seems to have, or who attempts to exercise unlimited power with no regard for the constitution, we've got to consider both things like those the "wall street journal" mentioned in terms of civil rights action, but also politicians like governor perry

standing up to it, saying i won't be wowed by this. >> liz cheney, thank you very much. have a great week. >> thanks. good to be with you. 26 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, the people who have protested fallen soldiers now have a new target. robin williams. the disgusting move by the westborough people coming up. you bought your kid a cell phone and now they won't pick up the phone to talk to you when you call. up next, a simple way to make it impossible for your children to ignore you. you're going to want to buy it.. ♪ ♪

a fox news alert. the violence in ferguson has gotten so bad, the governor of missouri is calling in the national guard to protect the city. take a look at this scene last night. three hours before the midnight curfew went into effect, protesters vandalized stores. at least two people were shot. police were not involved in either incident. also this morning, we've received the results of an autopsy ordered independently by michael brown's family. it shows he was shot six times, four times in the right arm, twice in the head, all in the front. eric holder has also ordered the department of justice to conduct a federal autopsy. but most of the focus this morning still on how police can get a handle on the violence and the looting and brian is trying to get some answers on that with a great panel. >> incredible panel. that's right. the video of tear gas and rubber bullets scaring many americans and people over the world are horrified. is it what police officers need to do or is it over the top? is it too much?

here to discuss the militarization, so to speak, of local police forces like this one, some of the country's finest experts. retired nypd commissioner, and retired commander of the community policing unit in new jersey, steve rogers. and bo deedle needs no introduction. he's a fox news contributor here. first off, you saw the response initially, commissioner. they said the governor says it was over the top with humvees and some of the actions and the snipers. do you feel as though -- obviously what they're doing now is not working. what's the right mix? >> the right mix is a response to the action that the community is creating. the governor imposing this curfew was right. the response last night i think is what needs to happen. initially, look, we had a riot control circumstance, or disobedience control, whatever you want to call it. to have armored humvees out there in the front, to have

assault weapons in the front when people out there -- they weren't arms, they had their hand up in the air, that's a bit over the top. but you can not let people take over the city, destroy private property, personal property, assault people, throw molotov cocktails. that's what's happening. >> steve, you saw what happened and then we got the national guard called in two days later. we thought we beat this thing when we had friday morning here. we had a terrible weekend. >> i said all along, this has been an epic failure of leadership on all levels. the people and the police are victims of the policy makers. bernie is absolutely right. it was over the top. we need this equipment in a post-9-11 era, but to address terrorism incidents, not the american people on the street. they need to get somebody in charge there. look, i said before, there must be multiple news conferences going on, who is in charge, who is saying what. somebody's got to get down there and take control of the situation or it's going to send a signal that's going to be

chilling around this area. >> the governor took five days to come public. did five shows. you must have been horrified as we watched this happen again two hours before the curfew even started. >> you know, really disturbs me is the fact that a lot of people saying about how the cops were dressed and all that. they have vests on. they're using tear gas. the problem here is they're being shot at also with molotov cocktails, with stores being burned down, stores being looted. you've got to take charge. we saw what happened with rodney king. 60 people were killed. i was here during the 1977 blackout riots. you've got to take charge. i don't care where the people are from, now it's become a more and more tumult ous and it comes out of control. unless you get that control, what are you going to do? send police cars in there, humvee thing, whatever they had there, that's very good for that because when you got molotov cocktails coming at you, you'll have police cars that are getting their windows smashed, setting them on fire. is that what you want?

>> go through some of the stats on some of the military hardware available at a discount rate because we're fighting two wars for 13 years. more than 93,000 machine guns, 533 aircraft, 45,000 piece of night vision equipment all can be handy in case of an extreme circumstance, all scrapped to get this -- >> brian, what led up to this? there was a chilling statement by the police chief. >> you want to hear it? >> yeah. >> here is one of the statements because this was the police chief addressing a congregation on sunday. it's about to come up. what it is is ron johnson, who grew up in that community, is taking control of police action. in fact, we can hear it right now? all right. >> if i may, you have these armored vehicles. they're being given to police departments very inexpensive. they can go to water six, eight feet deep also. here is my most important point, and bernie will stand up for

this. they're coming back. they're coming back, these extremist muslims are coming back and they're going to do something in the united states -- >> look at it this way, if you had a scene in connecticut or one of these schools or a theater where you have these terrorist events or attacks on the community, mass assaults and murders, you need those vehicles to respond. >> brian, i'd like to get -- >> the school shooting, too. >> the columbine thing -- >> they have to be used prudently. but the two points i want to bring out what led up to this, one chilling statement by the police chief down there, the johnson, he had no idea he said that there was a great disconnect between the people and the police. there is a failure in leadership. he should have known. secondly, ron johnson, the statements he made over the weekend, he took sides on this. a person in a command situation -- >> here is the captain. >> when this is over i'm going to go in my son's room -- my

black son -- to where the pants sagging, wear his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms. but that's my baby. >> he also went on to apologize, commissioner. >> you know what? apologize for what? grand jury hasn't concluded its investigation yet. you know, you have to wait for the evidence and ron johnson, any prosecutor, any cop knows that. wait 'til the evidence. >> we have a thing called due process. what's happening in chicago? all our young black kids are being shot. where is the outrage in chicago? where is jesse jackson? where is al sharpton in chicago? we got kids killed every day. plaque on black crime. you know what? this is a division, what he's doing there is wrong 'cause what we're dividing white and black again. america has no color. it's all one color. we're all americans. to do something like this before

any information has been finalized is wrong! just maybe the cop was right. maybe he was getting beat up. we don't know what happened. also remember he got shot in the back? now it comes up he was shot in the front. when you're in a shootout, you're firing away. you stop and shoot in the torso trying to stop somebody. i don't know how he got hit in the head. but bullets go that way. >> ron johnson should be relieved of command down there for this. that's how serious this is. they need someone down there who is unbiased, who will take control of the situation and not take sides. what he did was emboldened the wrong people. the people of ferguson are good people. they got good cops. you need somebody to bring everybody together at this point. >> listen, we can go for another two hours and still leave things undone. but thanks so much for setting the table, putting this last week in perspective. thanks, guys. >> thank you. ainsley, take it away. >> thank you. investigators want to know was there something in the water? 13 children rushed to the hospital after swimming at a hotel pool in denver.

>> policemen wearing body cameras can make shooting investigations a whole lot clearer as we see firsthand when this carjacking suspect is arrested in arizona. you know exactly what happens. watch. >> on the ground! on the ground! on the ground! [ bleep ] on the ground! stay right there. >> all right. we know what happened there. the officer accused of shooting michael brown in ferguson, missouri was not wearing a body camera. experts say conflicting eyewitness accounts in ferguson could be avoided if he had been wearing one. cyber guy is here to show us how new technology works and you are actually wearing this camera made by the same folks who do taser. >> yeah. good morning to you. we're talking about this is the latest technology that's out there. me up, scotty. you hit this two times if you're a police officer wearing this. if you hear a beep, you know it's recording. they'll have a device like their own phone to show you a view finder of exactly what their camera is seeing. so this records nine hours, 45

minutes. a police officer has the ability to turn it off and on but can never tamper with the data inside because it's stored in the cloud. at the end of their shift, you'll put this away, it will sync up and this video is three seconds away from any d.a.'s office. >> so there is no question about what happened if the guy is wearing that, provided he doesn't throw it in a river. >> you know, i think the wood chipper rule on this one, it's going to have the bosses back at the station saying, now, why did you lose it? 'cause it's pretty sturdy gear. it's really tough to take this off of a uniform. >> we asked folks earlier because we did something on this, what you thought about it. here is an e-mail from ty. i want your comment on it. i am a staunch supporter of cam videos. however, i don't like the idea of police being able to pause or stop the video. this could be abused and/or forgotten to be enabled. >> right now this is about the policy of a particular law enforcement agency that's using

this. it's up to them how they want to police their own police in the way this is used. yes, you're right. you can turn it off. but the question is, you really shouldn't have anything to hide. in fact, this would defend you as a police officer making sure that the truth of your own point of view is told from the video. >> i would imagine most officers would turn it on and leave it on all day. >> the cool thing about this is if you've gone in and responding to something critical, you then finish your business to get control of the scenario and then you hit it and it goes back 30 seconds automatically. so it's constantly storing the video, even though it's not recording. when you hit record, it starts 30 seconds ago. so you're likely to catch the tale end of something dramatic. >> that's good to have as well. we got a facebook message from brandy. my husband is a cop and wears one every shift that we bought him out of pocket for these reasons and more. the biggest of all being that cops seem to be guilty until

proven innocent these days. >> this is resonating enormously on line. other posts are coming in. there are pros and cons. this is another one we have. unbelievable how people are very pro putting this on or they don't like it at all for privacy reasons or just hey, big brother watching yet one more time. >> that would be a concern. michelle writes, it's ridiculous. how about letting officers do their job and you as a community back them and support them? it's invasive and ridiculous. >> that's one opinion. >> although if the officer had been wearing one of those in ferguson, we would have a much clearer idea. >> we would have a very different story to report. there is more on line on the web site. chime in. do you think they should wear them? >> you? >> i think so. >> i would agree with you. >> they've got dash cam videos, so why not? i'd like to hear from you. meanwhile, she's the star of the hit show "austin and ali." so how has laura morano's life
