not to indict that officer. midtown man had enhattan the site of rallies. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. the nypd made dozens of arrests that through the night was mostly peaceful but all across the city protesters shouted those three words that are now synonymous with the takedown and death of eric garner. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> reporter: the last words of eric garner have become the rally cry. it's not about black and white. it's about life and death. >> reporter: the grand jury's decision not to indict an officer in the death of a long island man sent thousand of protesters in the streets of new york's five boroughs last night. some people tried to push through police barricades. hundreds made their way to landmarks like new york city's music hall. others tried near rockefeller

center. police arrested dozens lying on their backs in the middle of sixth avenue. >> i can't breathe! >> reporter: protesters streamed through times square swarming and shutting down the west side highway, a heavily traveled route in manhattan. some drivers stuck in the gridlock honked their horns and gave high fives, while others left their cars and raised their hands in solidarity with the demonstrators. charles waite is a community organizer who said he flew from ferguson, missouri to new york as soon as he heard the news. >> these police officers now seem like they're an extension of the military. citizens are at war like we're the target. >> the movement has started. the train is leaving the station. >> reporter: earlier on wednesday, dozens of demonstrators staged a die-in at one of the city's transit arteries, grand central terminal. >> i'm angry and i'm furious. and this is what i can do right now.

>> reporter: unlike ferguson there are no widespread planned oregoned protests though police do expect some spontaneous demonstrations throughout the day. protesters are promising to disrupt the daily routine for as long as they can. jeff. >> michelle, thank you very much. eric garner's family is outraged this morning by the grand jury's decision. they say the officer got away with doing wrong. jim axelrod is on staten island where the family promises to keep fighting. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 23 grand jurors spent five months combing through the evidence and listening to the testimony about what exactly happened here in front of this beauty supply store last july, and as we've been seeing, the decision not to bring any charges in the death of eric garner is producing outrage. >> how can we put our trust in the justice system when they fail us like this. >> reporter: the anger and frustration flowed from eric garner's family following grand jury decision not to indict

officer panteleo, the officer in connection with garner's death. >> he should be here celebrating christmas and thanksgiving and everything else with his children and his grandchildren, and he can't. why? because a cop did wrong. >> i can't breathe, i can't believe. >> reporter: a new york city medical examiner says this choke hold contributed to garner's death but the grand jury found no reasonable cause to bring charges against the officer. in a statement wednesday pantaleo said i became a police officer to help people and to protect those who can't protect themselves. i feel very bad about the death of mr. garner. when told about his remorse for her husband's death, teresa garner had this reaction. >> it's time for remorse. my husband was yelling he couldn't breathe. that would have been the time to show concern for someone else's life. he was screaming 11 times that he can't breathe.

>> reporter: after meeting with garner's father mayor bill de blasio talked about his own family's dilemma, educating his half black son with dealing with police. >> we've had to talk to dante for years because of a history that still hangs over us. we've had to literally train him, as families have all over this city for decades, in how to take special care in any encounter he has with police officers who are there to protect him. >> reporter: officer pantaleo is currently on modified duty stripped of his gun and badge. his lawyer says when his client testified in front of the grand jury, he said that he subdued mr. garner using a technique he learned at the police academy. >> jim, thank you. in the next hour eric garner's wife and mother will be here in studio 57. president obama says he wants to rebuild trust in the police and he spoke about the garner ruling last night. >> this is an american problem

and not just a black problem or a brown problem or a native american problem. this is an american problem. when anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that's a problem and it's my job as president to help solve it. >> the president set up a task force this week to recommend how police can work more closely with minority communities. >> the announcement on staten island came just nine days after a decision in ferguson, missouri. last night a minivan struck a crowd. one person was seen crouching on the hood of the vehicle as it accelerated. several protesters backed away after the driver waved a handgun at them. moments later, a wreck went through the van's rear window. police arrested that driver. there's startling information about the cleveland officer who shot and killed a 12-year-old boy last month. the rookie officer's former boss believed he was not qualified to wear a badge. dean reynolds is outside police headquarters in

cleveland. the city is hosting a regional roundtable today with eric holder. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. eric holder is hoping meetings like this one today will foster better relations between police and the communities they serve. but that will be harder in cleveland where the background of a white officer who shot a black sixth grader last month is now coming into question. at the funeral of 12-year-old tamir rice on wednesday, it was a mix of reflection and frustration. tamir's uncle, michael petty, was critical of the officer who shot and killed the boy last month. >> the family objectives are to first celebrate the life of tamir, mourn his death and then seek justice. >> reporter: park surveillance video from november 22nd showed the youngster holding what appeared to be a gun and pointing it at people walking by. a 911 caller alerted police but also warned the weapon might be a fake.

>> there's a guy holding a pistol. you know, he's like pointing it at everybody. >> reporter: but that uncertainty was never passed along to responding officers and less than two seconds after arriving at the scene, 26-year-old officer timothy lowman shot the boy dead. the weapon turned out to be a toy pellet gun. >> shots fired, male down, black male, maybe 20. >> reporter: now a two-year-old personnel report on officer lowman raises serious questions about his qualifications to be a cop. the report, for example, described his handgun performance as dismal. it was written by the police in independence, ohio, where lowman worked before joining the cleveland force and describes him as emotionally immature, adding that he would not be able to substantiateally cope or make good decisions during or resulting from any other stressful situation. deputy jim polak wrote, i do not

believe time nor training will able to change or correct these deficiencies. the cleveland police are now investigating the use of force by officer lowman but they acknowledge that they never reviewed that controversial personnel file before hiring him last march. >> all right, dean. thank you so much. this morning an al qaeda-linked group threatens to execute an american hostage held in yemen. the militants kidnapped photo journalist luke somers more than a year ago in the capital city of sanaa. a videotape shows the plea by the prisoner. >> reporter: the video shows a chilling threat. either meet their demands or somers will be executed. it is not clear what those demands are but usually terrorists want money and the release of prisoners. >> i am looking for any help to get me out of this situation. i'm certain my life is in danger. >> reporter: dressed in a button-down shirt and wearing

glasses, the 33-year-old american citizen pleads for his life. >> i ask if anything can be done, please let it be done. thank you very much. >> reporter: earlier in the three-minute video, one of his captors warns the u.s. it has three days to meet their demands or somers will meet his, quote, inevitable fate. somers, a photo journalist was abducted off streets in the yemeni capital of sanaa in 2013. the video comes one week after u.s. forces attempted to free somers from a mountainous region in the eastern part of the country. it's believed he was moved to a different location just two days before the raid which was successful in rescuing eight other hostages and killing more than half a dozen al qaeda militants. the pentagon had asked news organizations not to report that the raid had been carried out by american commandos for fear it would only increase the danger somers is in but the story got

out anyway and now the captors are threatening to execute him. >> david thanks. this morning, a suspect is under arrest in the united arab emeralds in the killing of an american teacher. she was stabbed to death monday in the capital city of abu dhabi. the suspect is also blamed for another attack on an american. >> announced the arrest of the female suspect in the stabbing. it comes after u.s. embassies in the region issued a specific warning of a threat to americans. abu dhabi police released this security camera footage showing the alleged attacker complete with a bizarre eerie soundtrack. the suspect is fully veilmillion a traditional black robe. after an hour and a half in the bathroom, the alleged murderer emerges in a hurry, dodging between scrambling shoppers.

the stabbing victim has been identified as 47-year-old ebolia ryan a mother of 11-year-old twins. she used to teach school in colorado. the blood splattered floor is where her new life came to dramatic end. released new video, showing a bomb outside an american doctor's home. they say this was the raid of the suspect's house and her arrest. they showed the suspect's getaway car and the bloodied steering wheel. cbs news senior national security analyst juan zarate says the attack comes as isis and other terror groups have encouraged lone wolf attacks. >> this could be an episode of an individual inspired to kill an american citizen abrupt, following the call also of al qaeda in the islamic state to actually attack in place, to attack citizens where they can.

>> the u.s. embassy confirmed the killing took place on monday. saying the teacher was attacked because of the color of her skin and both she and the doctor were targeted because they're americans. norah. >> such a terrible story, charlie, thank you. this morning wet weather in the west is moving into oregon and washington state. leaving cars under wire and causing a big rig to jackknife. elizabeth wenger of cbs station kpix is in san francisco. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you may just call the bay area the gray area. over the past several days. even though the worst of this record-breaking pacific storm has passed the threat of mudslides is still here in the days and weeks to come. or even longer. the skies opened up over the bay area on wednesday causing the streets of san francisco to do the same. the biggest of at least three sinkholes measured 30 feet wide and 10 feet deep breaking a water main underneath.

the downpour the past two days has been so huge that local rain totals are hitting or surpassing the normal annual range for the first time in the state's three-year drought. it caused flooding at a high school in petaluma north of the city and at a santa cruz convenience store. >> i thought we were having a tornado because it had that kind of hard-driving train sort of sound, it was hammering on the roof so hard. >> reporter: the rain has been good news for lake tahoe, almost 200 miles northeast of san francisco. elevations above 7,000 feet were covered in 10 to 14 inches of fresh snow. 200 miles to the south, waterfalls that had slowed to a trickle are flowing again at yosemite national park. the state's rainfall totals have been impressive. as of late wednesday, nearly 10 inches have fallen in yukaipa ridge and five inches over the peak. >> more than the water, it's the

mudslide potential that's the problem for us, back behind our house. >> reporter: in southern california, homeowners near the fire-ravaged hillsides must be on the alert for mudslides long after the rain clouds disappear. >> the problem itself remains. and it will remain for the next three, four years. until we see some more vegetation grow back on the hillsides. >> we're talking 60-plus homes from this area down to the end where we could see some sort of mud or debris flow at some point. >> reporter: the harsh reality is it will take several more storms like this one to pull us out of california's drought. before this week's storms, the sierra snow pack, which accounts for most of the state's water supply, was only 24% of normal. jeff, back to you. elizabeth. minutes ago, nasa postponed the launch of the orion space capsule until at least tomorrow. the unmanned test flight is being hailed as a big step to sending astronauts to mars eventually. chuck reid is at the kennedy space center just north of the

launch site. >> what was supposed to happen today is an orion space capsule which they call an apollo space capsule on steroids, was supposed to be launched into a 4 1/2-hour test fly by a huge delta rocket. high winds and technical issues delayed this test flight for quite a while. they finally decided just to scrub it. they're now going to try again tomorrow morning. >> and we'll be watching with you. chip thank you so much. and it is 7:19. ahead, why you flu shot may fall short. dr. holly phillips will joi good morning. from the kpix 5 weather center, let's head on outdoors where we do have mostly cloudy skies, some low-level moisture in the form of drizzle and mist and also according to hi-def doppler radar, we do have a little bit of light precipitation right there in the santa cruz mountains. that will be the case today throughout the day a few scattered random showers clearing out now at sfo. but what you have to realize is

that we will have a few sunny breaks, therefore a few rainbows with highs in the 60s today. next bona fide rain shower will arrive on friday afternoon. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by walgreens at the corner of happy and healthy. the battle u.s. troops did not expect to fight. >> where's your combat patch at? >> i gave it to a little kid. >> why is your flag so low on

no indictment in the death of eric garner. a grand jury in new york city has decided not to charge a white new york city police officer in the death of an unarmed african-american man. i honestly don't know what to say. i think what is so utterly depressing is that none of the ambiguities that existed in the ferguson case exist in the staten island case and yet the outcome is exactly the same. no crime, no foul all foul. we're definitely not living in a post-race society and i imagine a lot of people are wondering how much of a society are we living in at all? >> jon taking a somber tone. welcome back to "cbs this

morning." eric garner's family has just arrived here at studio 57. we'll talk to them a little bit later in the program. we'll also talk about the angry protesters. the grand jury declined to charge anyone in his death. a lot more on that. plus this this morning. that flu shot you just got may not do you that much good. dr. holly phillips in the toyota green room with a new cdc alert. the austin american statesman says texas is challenging president obama's immigration order. states want to block his plan to protect up to 5 million immigrants from deportation. >> the "washington post" says a new pentagon survey finds sexual assaults in the military are rising. this year there were more than 5,400 complaints by servicemembers. that's up 8% from last year. the alleged victims may be more willing to come forward.

change is coming from the kingdom. she joins us now from london. good morning. >> good morning. saudi arabia women do not have the same rights as men and some say they're not even treated with the same rights. some saudi women are refusing to let those obstacles stand in their way. in saudi arabia some islamic hard liners say this is a sin. the country's religious conservatives believe women's sports are un-islamic. they're still banned in public schools. but this woman disagrees and founded the women's basketball club. >> i don't think it has anything to do with religion. i do think it's out of chauvinism and male dominance. >> saudis on the internet were calling them prostitutes.

>> we have been called names before. we've been labeled before. it's very i would say, really sad to have people from the same country call each other that. >> saudi arabia is an ultra conservative islamic state. the male guardianship system means all women need a male relative's permission to work go to university, and travel overseas. for some like this high school principal, those restrictions are not a problem. foreign women have more freedom than we do she told us but i don't want to be like them. these are our customs, and we follow them. but saudi arabia is changing. women now outnumber men in saudi universities and their government is encouraging them to join the work force. as this university female students are planning careers in

everything from engineers to filmmaking. this woman told us her students have futures their mothers could only dream of. >> it has been a huge change huge transformation in almost every way. it has been a change in the mentality, in the acceptance of women in the workplace. >> the saudi king is himself a reformer who's promoted women's rights but the king has to contend with religious conservatives whose support helps keep him in power. he recently made 20% of the council members women. some of the women told us any change has to be carefully managed so that the islamic establishment doesn't fight back. do you feel frustrated by the pace of change sometimes? >> change that happens overnight

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday december 4th, 201. more real news ahead i colluding the anger over no charges in the death of eric garner. his family is here in studio 57. but first, a look at today's eye opener at 8:00. >> protesters shouted words that are now synonymous of the death of eric garner. >> the officer said he subdued mr. garner using a technique he learned in his training. you may just call the bay area the gray area. the threat of mudslides is still here in the days and weeks to come. high winds and sum technical issues delayed this test flight. they finally decided just to scrub it. the video delivers a chilling threat. either meet the terrorist's

demands or else somers will be executed. they never reviewed that controversial personnel file. police in abu dhabi announced the arrest of a female suspect who tried to place a bomb outside the house -- >> i have a friend who has not had her flu shot yes. >> yes. >> i'm not saying who she is. >> my name is gayle. >> rockefeller center christmas tree. it was magical. >> it was lit with 45,000 led light bulbs. >> said to be the world's largest celebration of someone putting a plug in an electrical sock socket. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell. there is new outrage across the country this morning over the decision not to charge a new york city police officer in the death of a suspect. officer daniel put eric garner a chokehold. garner repeatedly told officers he could not breathe.

>> a grand jury wednesday found no reasonable cause to indict him. that decision spurred protests in several cities. knoxville's common demonstrations were disruptive but mostly peaceful. more protests are planned for today and later this month. at a news conference yesterday eric garner's widow rejected a statement of apology. she said she demands justice. >> my husband's death will not be in vain. as long as i have a breath in my body i will fight you the fight to the end. thank you. >> esaw snipes-garner is here along with eric garner's mother and the reverend al sharpton president of the national action network is here with us this morning. thank you for coming. i'm so so sorry it is under these circumstances. we're glad you're here to share, to talk with us today. so many people share your anger, your frustration, your disappointment. i want to know what you want them to do and how you're getting through it.

esaw? >> well, it's been really hard since july 17th. i'm just trying to you know make sure that his death is not in vain, that you know it makes a change for my sons as well as sons and brothers and fathers and grandchildren of other people that may be victim like i was a victim. i didn't choose to be a victim. you know? this is something that happened. i didn't expect when my husband left me that morning that i would never see him alive again. that was the last thing i expected. >> of course. >> and to get that phone call it was just -- i didn't know what to -- i didn't know what to think. you know? one minute they were saying he was okay he was on his way to the hospital. the next minute they were saying he stopped breathing. and i'm on the phone like i just didn't know what to do where to go how to -- i didn't know what to do. that was my life my husband. he was my life.

we've been married 27 years. how do you wake up the next day without your life partner? he was somebody that i was supposed to share the rest of my life with raise my grandchildren, you know? and he's no longer here. and we need justice for this. somebody needs to pay. >> what is justice look like to you? what does it look like? >> justice is when everyone who was involved in my son's death that day stands accountable. and then i'll feel like i was justified, because that was so inhumane what they did to my son and her husband. i mean no mother no grandmother, should have to ever go through the pain that we went through. it's just -- it's -- >> it's horrible. >> it is horrible. it is horrible. >> reverend al let me ask you because now that the criminal phase of this is over, the fate

of the officer rests in the hands of the police department. what do you want chief bratton to do. >> first of all, he violated police procedures with the chokehold. commissioner bratton ought to uphold the policy that they established. but i do not agree the criminal process is over. attorney general holder said that the federal government is going to investigate. they can bring criminal charges. in the past we fought cases, national action network was out in front, that policeman is still in jail this morning. the state didn't prosecute him. the federal government did. rodney king after the state courts acquitted him, the federal government came in and tried those officers. they were convicted. so pantanelo is not out of this. the difference here we've seen ferguson, 12-year-old kid in cleveland, we've seen this all in 90 days. the difference here is a videotape because people -- i'm very proud to see americans of

all races and ages saying, wait a minute now, a grand jury is not supposed to say whether someone is innocent or guilty. the grand jury says, is there probable cause to go to trial. that tape says everybody, let's go to trial and see what happened here. but for a grand jury to look at the tape and say let's not even go to trial, that's kind of hard for a lot of people to swallow. >> can we talk about the chokehold maneuver that we saw? it was supposed to be banned in 1993. >> right. >> how much of it is still being used? >> it's apparently been used a lot, according to some of the data we've seen. but the officer in this case the commissioner himself bratton who i've been critical of says it appears like a chokehold to me. the officer said, well, no it was some martial art maneuver. that's why you go to trial, so you can try in a court of law. there are no adversaries in the grand jury. the other thing that i think is important about that, all cops are not bad. most cops are not bad. but those that are we should

have a process that we can deal with that. it protects good cops and protects citizens. i think with this tape unlike other cases, people can say let's unite and see where there's structural change. not just outrage and anger but change. >> interesting corporation this morning. is it a matter of -- i agree with you because i do believe that most cops are good. do you think it's an issue of cops using excessive force or do you think it's a racial issue? >> i think it's both because they seem to use more excessive force on the young men of color than they do of the white boys and young men. and usually when there is some fatality or some heinous, you know death by the police hands, it's using our boys of color. >> do you wonder what tape the grand jury was looking at? have you all looked at the tape?

have you all seen the tape? >> yes. >> they wasn't looking at the same one. >> they couldn't have been. >> what do we know about the grand jury? what have you heard about the grand jury? >> well, i've heard that there were three blacks, five latinos, and the rest were caucasian. >> out of 26. >> out of 23. >> 23. >> 23 total. but see, i think you've got to remember the grand jury only the prosecutor puts up. so he could put up tape have the policeman walk us through the tape and there's no other side. that's why you need a public trial. there's a famous saying a judge in new york used to say you can indict a ham sandwich if you want. that means you cannot indict one if you want. on the racial angle, the majority of people in black community killed by other blacks put the majority community in the quhats kill whites. asians ss and asians. it's only in our community that we see a disproportionate amount. why don't you know how to

correctly police in ours. >> some people say there's al sharpton again. you are viewed as a polarizing figure. is he really helping the situation? >> what do you say about it? >> i say the police unions are there every time the policeman is questioned. here's the union there. they need structures that are there for them to help them get through funerals. they don't have the expenses the resources, the contacts. how to deal with the media. we are an infrastructure like the police have a union. i know going in i'm going to get attacked by the left and the right. it's better that you have a structure that can absorb that better than do it for the family. we've been doing it well for so long. >> i have to say something about the protests. i saw the traffic was blocked. it was so peaceful and you saw protesters of all ages all colors, children black, white, laying on the street. are you all comforted by that gratified by that? >> i am. >> i appreciate everyone that is out there marching for my husband because had it not been

for the tape for the people for reverend al putting it out there, he would have just been another black man killed and it would have been over three days after he died, there would have been a funeral, he would have been gone and nobody would remember his name. this way his name will be remembered. my grandchildren, they know who their grandpa was. it's not like i can say to my granddaughter at 3 years old, do you remember grandpa? she says yes, grandpa is in heaven and he's an angel now. >> he said he played santa. >> yes, he did. >> for three years. >> every year. he put a santa claus hat on and he would dance around and ho ho ho and he would buy them anything they wanted. he made sure that we had everything. like my kids never wanted for anything. >> do you think the time will come that you can accept an apology from the police officer? he does appear to be reaching out to the family to say he's sorry. >> honestly i'll be honest? >> yes.

>> no. no. because he's gone. maybe if he would have been tazed and maybe disarmed and like not -- not disarmed. say incapacitated or some way and still lived, in the hospital, maybe a little slower now because of the oxygen was cut off to his brain or something for a few minutes. but he was here, maybe then i could accept his apology. but now, he's gone. and i'll never have my husband again. >> i think we should understand her anger and i've talked about it. but you do learn to grow. i was stabbed once during a american and guy went to jail for stabbing me. i went to jail and forgave him. sometime you grow. i look at that scar every morning and remind me how bad violence can be. that's why we want peaceful protests. >> important thing to say. >> thank you all very much. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> condolences to you. >> thank you. coming up here what nasa is
