it's unbearable. >> donald trump called for-judg? we report, you decide. >> brand new fox news polls showing who is pulling ahead in crucial battle ground states. "fox & friends first" continues right now. >> you are watching "fox & friends first." thank you for being with us. i am heather childers. >> i am abby huntsman. >> let's get straight to this news. the national guard moving to charlotte north carolina. the city under a state of emergency this morning after a second night of violent police protests. rioters throwing fire on another protester. >> we have the breaking details. what can you tell us is happening right now. >> now is the calm after the storm. a pitched battle on the downtown streets of charlotte.

different than any we have seen in any of the anti police rallies. a souvenir shop of what they call the epicenter. this is where the restaurants are, the hotels are, the clubs are and a number of the sports stadiums are as well in this downtown area. this is where the protestors turned to rioters. this is the ritz-carlton hotel. on the streets this will be something that folks who are thinking of playing a conference in charlotte they are thinking about doing business will realize. this is not something you see often. the police needed the sal carry. the government declared a state of emergency. they have started to deploy we are expecting to see them on the street in the coming hours. last night things got out of control.

the police it seemed were pretty unprepared or didn't expect the kind of violence we saw break out around 8 or 8:30 after that protest started. as you saw what was happening on the street you also heard from police officers complaints that they were being told to really hold back and not get aggressive with protestors who turned into rioters and looters. it was much later until we saw arrests by police here on the streets of charlotte. the other thing to keep in mind as you watch the video is the tactics police are using in terms of firing tear gas out into the crowd. the protestors are incredibly angry. there was one shot by the rioter. despite all of that pretty much their justified. >> whether i am here, i am in school, i am in my car, you said a man got shot over here, right? you said why would i put myself in danger.

i could be at work at school in my car. i could still get shot by the police. >> what sparked this a couple dayi days ago was the shooting of this man keith scott. he was allegedly sitting in his car waiting for his son to come home reading a book. the pictures circulating will prove is he had a gun with him there in that car. according to police he did not follow orders to drop the gun and then he was shot at that time. important to put this in a larger context where we are standing in downtown charlotte. the hornets play, the professional basketball team observed by michael jackson. their span looted overnight. is this a matter of no justice no peace or no justice no free

sneakers that's really what the people on the street seem to be interested in. >> hurting the very community they live in. the last hour michael jordan donated to the naacp legal defense fund. he also donated $1 million to the international association of chief of police's newly established institute for community police relations. working hard to bring that community together. >> we have former homicide detective rob wheeler. how important is it for the police chief and others to be as transparent as possible. we couldndon't know all of the yet. how important is it to understand the facts here? >> very important. as a matter of fact if the chief of police continues to

communicate with the community there what he will find is the community may calm down in terms of the protests. that is very important in a situation like this. you have to be very transparent. you have to communicate. you know what? the investigation must be very swift. now quickly. something that nobody has talked about is the actual young police officer that fired his gun. this police officer is going to be talked to today by the investigators there in charlotte. but i just learned the police officer is only a two-year veteran of the force. he is a relatively young officer. that is going to definitely have a significant impact in this investigation. >> what difference would that make only two years in? would they be less prepared? >> no. but their experience level is going to be lessened. as a result of that you have older officers more seasoned officers on the scene which we

saw yesterday. the question is whether this officer should be released from probation which he would have been on probation a year before he was on his own. >> the officer well-known in the community before he became a police officer for the police department as well. >> little more on why the videotape hasn't been released yet. the governor of north carolina in july passed this law or signed it into law where video, also audio cannot be released readily. >> right. you know what? that video needs to be released. that is going to be critical in terms of keeping the community calmed down. if they have the video. the chief of police said yesterday they do have videos from body cameras not worn by the officers that did the shooting but warned by other officers. apparently those videos show where this individual did have a weapon in his hand where the

officer fired the fatal shot yesterday. >> i spoke with one person who did see the video and confirms that is the case. thr pictures of the gun outside of the car. >> thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate it. >> breaking overnight for you the tulsa oklahoma police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man is speaking out for the first time. police found a vile of the hallucinogen pcp in crutcher's car. he failed to follow more than 2 dozen command saying she was forced to fire the tate tal shot when he stuck his arm through the window. tulsa police are standing by the officer's story. >> the recent police shootings in tulsa and charlotte sparking violence and anger across the country. donald trump is calling for

action as hillary clinton takes sides. we are joined live from washington, d.c. good morning. >> it is interesting because this is all playing out in the course of the context of a heated presidential campaign. hillary clinton has been struggling to generate enthusiasm particularly among african american voters in the last couple of days. she has been calling in to african american radio shows around the country talking about these police related shootings both in tulsa and charlotte. it is something she is talked about throughout the campaign as a broader issue but particularly stepping it up now as she deals with potential turnout problems with african american voters. that's why she is trying to get more on the trail. >> trump having success with african american voters having some success with that with

polls. he basically said when hillary clinton talks about helping african americans, from her and other democratic politicians, it is all talk. watch. >> you can't say never but it is one of the worst stages ever in the history of the city. it is so unsafe where you walk down the street and you are shot or your child gets shot. we are going to fix the inner cities. we are going to spend a lot of time. democrats have been running for 100 years mostly uninterrupted. you see what's happened. >> there is still much we don't know about what happened in both incidents. but we do know that we have two more names to add to a list of

black men killed by police officers. >> the congressional back caucus are planning to go to the department of justice to march on that department, protest these recent police related shootings. clear sign, abby and heather this issue is not going away especially in a divided election cycle. >> days to go before the election. thank you. >> whose message on politics and race relations is best log on to the facebook page for a live de la bait using the hashtag keep talking. >> to another fox news alert for you. isis could be turning to chemical warfare to target our troops. a rocket with possible traces of mustard gas hitting a base housing u.s. and iraqi troops near mouse sell. they found car like black oily substance on a shell that landed

feet from the base. initial tests turned out mixed so it is sent off for more testing. no one was injured. >> the new jersey new york bombing suspect is heading back to the u.s. for questioning. it comes as disturbing evidence emerges in the terror investigation including chilling new video of a test drug. you can see what happens. appears to be scorch marks in ahmad khan rahami yard. the journal making clear he was sympathetic to isis. law enforcement looking for these two key potential players in the case. they stole the bag one of the bombs was in leaving the bomb behind. they want to question them as web sites not suspects. he is in critical but stable condition and still refusing to talk. >> quoting an al qaeda leader in that journal. >> the time is 11 minutes after

percent. 37 up six points now. you look at the trend there he is tipping up in that state. >> he does not win the white house if he does not have ohio. his message is on target the system is broken rigged against the common man. he is there to fix it. those sorts of themes system is broken theme as well as strong concrete economic objectives and messages really resinate with a rust belt state like ohio. >> similar demographic to pennsylvania as we mentioned also key if he should win the race. we talked a lot about virginia or pennsylvania. >> for me it is pennsylvania. needs to get vepennsylvania or

combination of colorado, wisconsin and michigan. reinforcing the system is broken consecrating on economic policy will be key. i would usually sadie bates aren't that important. he does a good job keeping the momentum going. >> if he doesn't win ohio do you think he can win pennsylvania? >> i think if he doesn't win ohio it is game over. he needs ohio, florida and north carolina loon gnaw to stay even with hillary. either pennsylvania, colorado or michigan. >> 7 points in ohio he's up good place to be before the debate. >> anything can happen. >> anything can happen but the earned media superstar i expect will be doing a great job during the debate. i expect him to keep the momentum going from that point on. >> cliff young, thank you for

restaurants and clubs. people areic with aing up this morning to news that their companies may be closed today. four police officers injured last night and the calvary is on its way in the form of the national guard now deployed. it will be on the street in a little while. last night a number of officers felt like they thought they were restrained about 8:30 or so. the protests truly took a violent turn to them. there was one shot fired that was heard. one person went down. that man is in critical condition fighting for his life. obviously there's a lot of different parts to this story in terms of what caused these

riots? >> know that all white people are devils. wall white cops are devils and white people. >> that was keith scott's brother. he was the man who was shot and killed by police. the social media narrative if you will is he had a book in his hand. according to police, he had a gun and they have pictures po back it up he had a gun in his hand. that was the spark and we are dealing with this on the streets of an american major city in downtown as the national guard comes out. the real question going forward is what happens to this in terms of the political fallout from this. north carolina is a swing state. we are less than 50 days until the election. >> leland vittert live for us on the scene. >> let's bring in the niece of dr. martin luther king junior and fox news contributor dr

across right now in charlotte. but every city that is trying to erupt into violence needs spiritual leaders, people with wisdom and stability to break through the problems. >> why do you think there seems to be this divide that is greater than it has ever been right now in america when it comes to race relations? >> well, the divide has been here before. i was in the 1960's i was a teen. i marched and went to jail over similar things when martial law was called and troops were called in. this is escalating because it is so fast with the social media and everything and everything moving so quickly across the communities. we can move faster by just showing, telling the scoop. i hope the media picks up on some of the leaders we are calling for calling for peace and stability and calmness. >> what about the issues with police specifically and the concerns that police target black men?

>> i really want the viewers to know i have really good friends in law enforcement myself various ethnic groups in atlanta, georgia. my mother's car was vandalized. the police department responded quickly and came to help get the community back in order. the police department are not the enemies. you have bad police officers and good ones. do not lump all law enforcement into one bundle. we have to allow them to do their job. >> as you watch soft the scenes unfold we have one individual protester shoot another individual another protester who is now in critical condition. we have all of this damage to all of the businesses in the very community where they live. >> there are african americans in communities across america to get up, who pray, go to work, go to school and all of that. we want our whole communities, the entire communities back to work, back to good schools and

that type of thing. when people are allowed to contribute to a csociety and hep it to be better there's less violence and crime. the crime is not due to skin color. the police brutality is never due to skin color. we have to go deeper with these issues and a spiritual matter. >> spiritual matter and economic. >> if people can go to work and school and have decent morals you have less crime. >> you have heard the two candidates we have running for president right now have comments regarding all of this. what do you think about their comments? >> i have been listening to mrs. clinton, i think she is right responding as quickly as she can. mr. trump hit the problem even with racism and skin color. he said bring the jobs back home and if we make sure people can contribute to the society and not be oppressed and robbed of the opportunity to have dignity. he's fair to black communities

latinos white, young, old. i think he's on a good track. >> do you believe him? >> i believe in the american dream that my uncle believed in. i believe that anybody that at least speaks it can remind us of it and introduce us to that dream again. >> finally you mentioned dr. martin luther king your uncle. what would he say about what is happening in america today? >> one of my favorite message we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters parishes full. we can live as one community. >> appreciate the positive message today. a lot of people need to hear that. >> thank you, heather. >> also breaking overnight the oklahoma police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man is speaking out for the first time. this has we learned police found a vile of the hallucinogen pcp
