night in a row. >> just going to keep fighting. >> to have nothing is just, it takes your guts away. >> he turned aaround and put his hands up. >> that would be uncorrect. >> the wave of protests from coast to coast. >> protesters manage to shut down fdr drive. >> the crowd has been stirring since august 9th. >> that that was the first time you ever used your gun, right. >> yes it was. >> people get to take your life ngd and not be accountable for that. >> we are asking supporters to not make noise, let's make a difference. good to have you with us tonight folks, thanks for watching. there's been a lot conversation in recent days about communication and getting along and understanding one another, last night there were so many

protests across this country, i harken back to my young days as a young teenager and the ending of the vietnam war. i don't have the stats but i have a sense there might have been more people in the streets across america that might date back some 50 years. this is a time, as i see it, for law enforcement to access their local media and tell people who are protesting, this is what we're going to tolerate and we'll be cool if you be cool, because tonight i'm going to bring you a story of profiling, it's still going on. protests are ramping up across this nation. tuesday night broad demonstrations over the death of michael brown in over 100 cities nationwide, new york, washington, dallas, oakland, los angeles, minneapolis, where there was a little buff, and also atlanta, cincinnati,

portland, seattle, kansas city, denver, chicago, austin, pittsburgh, miami, somebody's got to talk to the country in a very serious manner. you know all politics is local, all law enforcement is local. in ferguson on tuesday night it was calm, compared to monday night, over 40 people were arrested for mostly misdemeanor offenses. tear gas was used when protesters broke city hall windows and damaged a police car. they seized a pistol. what do you want the cops to do when stuff like this is going on. i get that. we got to be cool as a country and get our point across as to what we think has to happen when it comes to change. people in ferguson are still unhappy on a number of levels. >> we have a generation of people who have been hurt. broken people break things.

they break promises. they break the law. they break property. >> the justice system again as failed. >> something needs to change. >> i feel right now it is at a stand still, basically us against them. people feel they don't have their voices heard but they are not going the proper way about it. >> where are the police who said they had this under control. >> voices are not being heard. what is it? it's jobs. the unemployment rate among black people is an embarrassment. we have a better economy then this and that's where we can start fixing it. earlier today demonstrators tried to get into city hall. tear gas was never used. things have calmed down. still a large presence near city hall. in oakland, california

demonstrators turned violent, protesters broke windows, set fires to trash cans and briefly shut down two major free ways. police said several were arrested. protesters in oakland had no problem voicing their concerns. >> at least give us some -- some -- something to go on, but to have nothing, it just takes your guts away. >> what is the future going to look like bringing a black male into this world for him to get shot on the street. >> if you're black or brown in this country, you're not human. people get to take your life. and not be accountable for that. >> in los angeles 130 people were arrested downtown, protesters set up barricades to stop traffic on the 101 freeway for roughly half hour, about a hundred people were involved. in new york,000s of protesters took to the street.

thousands took to the streets. they blocked access to manhattan bridges and portions of fdr and entrances to lincoln tunnel blocked, ten were arrested. in atlanta, georgia protests were mostly peaceful. one group caused trouble later in the evening by dang damaging windows. boston, massachusetts saw some of the largest protests, roughly 1500 people rallied in dudley square, marched through the streets and blocked traffic, over 40 people were arrests on charges of dpis order disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. . >> he was honking and getting mad that people wouldn't move and he plowed through.

>> she was feet away when a woman was hit by a car and the protest turned quickly fromviol >> people were banging on his car and he kept going and ran a young girl over and she was screaming. it was really bad. >> police said she suffered a minor injury to her leg and was being treated at local hospital. once the driver was away from the crowd he pulled over and called 9-1-1 to report the accident. >> there is a strong police presence in st. louis area. one incident last night tells us law enforcement may be going a little bit too far. may i caution across the country who is doing the leading? whose 12stepping up? whose talking to the country? whose saying we can't continue to have these kind of protests where private property is

damaged and thank god no one has been killed. message sent. law enforcement has to do something about it, they have a responsibility to understand that the american people are focused on seeing something get done here and it starts at a local level. the last thing the police can do is be quiet to their community. i think it is the role of every person in authority in cities all over this country to communicate exactly what you're department is going to do and how you're going to treat the citizens. this is no time for racial profiling or drawing your firearms on peaceful protesters, that will only thank things worse. let me bring in t-dub, i appreciate your time. i understand you had an unpleasant experience with police yesterday. tell us what happened. thanks for joining us tonight. >> no problem. thank you for having me here. i've had a bad experience with st. louis police my entire life.

but the incidents that took place yesterday, we were downtown having lunch at tgif's a late lunch at 2:00 p.m., we weren't active in any area protests. there were two or three going on close to where we were but we weren't active. we left out of the tgif, topped into my vehicle, pulled off and noticed three trucks following us closely behind, we made a left on fourth street, headed toward 70 west, they stayed close behind us on my tail, i hopped on the highway, put a little speed to it because i was paranoid, i didn't think detectives, with everything going on downtown, a highway shut down and i protest at the courthouse that they would be following us, they followed us, moved as i moved, i hopped off the highway and noticed them

positioning themselves to get out of the car. i automatically assumeed it was the kkk because we have had several death threats towards me and others here, instantly i start to prepare to defend ourselves. once i see them hop out the vehicle and noticed it was police i put my hands up and everybody followed suit. they instantly pulled me out the car. put their 40-caliber to my head. told me if i move they would blow my head off. i asked them why are they following us, what am i here for they told me to stop talking or they would have protests over me. and they put the gun to her head and i complied and stopped asking questions.

they put me in the back of the car. no one could tell me what we were stopped for. soon i was in the back of the car, the officer told me he didn't know why they stopped us, they had bchb watching my cars for the last couple weeks and had heavy surveillance on us because we were some of the people organize niezing some of the events on the ground, the peaceful protests. >> so they told you after you went through this entire ordeal that you had been under surveillance for a few days because they thought that you were some what of a ring leader of these protests. >> correct. >> so basically they told you that you were targeted. >> correct. >> sand you were followed. >> correct. >> and you had a gun put to your head. >> yes, sir. >> okay. i got to clear the air here. t-dub, did they have any reason to do this to you in any stretch of the imagination.

>> none whatsoever. they never have a reason to do it to any black male walking down the street. what happened to me yesterday is a perfect example of what happened to michael brown. >> okay. well you had to be scared alt hell, were you. >> not at all. i was scared for the young lady with us. i wasn't afraid for myself, there's nothing more they can do to me besides take my life. i've been dealing with they my whole life. >> have you told law enforcement that you have had these threats from kkk. >> of course they know. local media has done reports on it. law enforcement is fully aware. when they pulled out the palestinian journalist with a bullet proof vest, they asked him why he had it and someone whispered kkk. they were completely disrespectful. called me a dope dealer rapper.

called the young woman with us to shut the eff up, they had a gun to her, they were completely out of control and disrespectful. these rrn the the people that should be patrolling and protecting our communities. >> all right. do you think this experience is a common experience for black youth in st. louis? >> yes. this happens every day. it slowed down since august 9th, since they are so busy they can't harass people on a daily like they normally do. but as i said, i wasn't frayed, it was something i was used to happening to me. >> what are you going to do from here on? are you going to be involve in other activist activities to keep the protests going or does what happened to you yesterday have anything to change your mind at all? >> no i'm going to continue to fight. we have to. i can no longer continue to live like this. i have two sons. i can't raise them to live this

way. i'm going to continue to fight. they know me, i'm building future things to prevent these injustices from happening in our communities and communities across the country. we have been to the white house, went down to the chiefs of police conference and shut that down so they know who we are. we are not burning down buildings, we're working to rebuild a system that is put in place to op press a certain class of people so they're trying to get us out of the way. >> i appreciate your time t-dub. we will follow up on your story next week. i would like to get a statement from st. louis police department why you were followed and why a gun was put to your head. i'm curious to their police procedures there. i appreciate your time tonight. >> no problem.

thank you ed, you have a good day. >> yes, sir, thank you. get your cellphones out. i want to know what you think on this. do you think these protests will have an impact on police procedures, a for yes, b for no, to 67622. we'll bring the results later on the show. i want to bring in two gentleman who can react to what they just heard. reverend dr. william barber, president of the north carolina naacp and president of so, journers. thank you for your time tonight gentleman. reverend barber what he just described i find horrific. no american should have to go through something like that and somebody ought to call the st. louis cops for acting like that and clearly getting away with it. it's clearly intimidation. your thoughts on it? >> well it's horrific and it's happening too often and if i

might lift the scripture during the first christmas when black boys and brown boys were being killed by an out of control king you could hear the voice of rachel weeping and wailing and refused to be comforted. you see non-violence protests everywhere. what we have is every 28 hours a black man is being killed, according to one statistic. you had 29,000 tickets in st. louis last year, 86% african-american, 92% arrest. you have more african-american males in prison today than you had in slavery in 1850. that is why people are refusing to be comforted because of this system of jim crowe over profiling, over arresting, over incarcerating, and now the

over-killing of african-american men. it is a tragedy. the system is being indicted right now by what we're seeing going on. >> i think police procedures need to be called on the carpet. we just had darren wilson say in the michael brown incident, the death that took place, that his gun misfired. that's what his testimony was. we just had a story of t-dubo say he had a 40 caliber gun put to his head. what if the gun had misfired, we would have had another dead black youth on our hands and for what reason, what excuse would the cops have used then. >> that's right. >> if we don't start talking about police procedures they will continue on. i think they have to justify what they're doing when they get stories like this. >> no doubt. that's why our president cornell brooks is calling for a march

from st. louis to ferguson this coming saturday to lift up we want cameras on every policemen, a national review board, real enforcement and citizen review boards at the local level and we must start having cases of people who are found guilty for killing african-american men. we can't continue in this current system. i could name three or four cases on both sides of the gun where african-american shot someone and incarcerated for the wrong reason and vice versa. >> all right. reverend wallace what do you expect to see come out of the protests we saw across the hundred cities and where is this going. >> let me respond as a dad, i'm a faith leader but as a dad, you talked to t-dubo's experience,

you said is this common for young black youth in st. louis, he said yes. now here's the deal, we know every black dad in america has the talk, the conversation with their son, their daughters now, about protecting themselves from the police. now i'm a white dad. i don't need to have that talk with my 16-year-old or 11-year-old son. until white dads and white moms to say it is not acceptable for black moms and dads to have that talk we're not going to move forward. black young people are treated differently. that's got to be an issue for white dads and moms. and christians have to begin to act more christian than white. and if we do that than black parents can have less fear for their kids. we got to say, ed, this is a wrong that it's time to right. and that's got to turn ferguson from a moment into a movement.

ferguson is all over the country. turn this moment into a movement and white dads and moms and people of faith have to speak this way alongside their black broer broerngs brothers and sisters. >> i don't know what the advice to a black father would be to what t-dubo just explained. he's followed and tailed for miles and a gun put to his head when he has done nothing wrong. what counselling does a parent give to a kid to make sure he doesn't get shot, or does all the things right, not knowing what kind of cop is going to be there. so much to talk about. i have to move on. i appreciate your time tonight gentleman perfect. we ha we have asked for a response from st. louis police department and haven't got anything back. share your thoughts on twitter

dave, i'm sorry to interrupt... i gotta take a sick day tomorrow. dads don't take sick days,

dads take nyquil. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. welcome back to "the ed show," since the events of august 9th, many americans have questioned what went through darren wilson's mind before he fired the shots before he killed unarmed teen michael brown now we know. >> i used my door to try to push him back and yell at him to get

back and again he push the door shut and stares at me and as i look back all of a sudden punches start flying. >> you threw the first punch? >> yes he took the first punch. >> some witnesses said you tried to pull him into the car. >> that would be against any training of any fire officer. >> i gave myself a mental question, can i shoot this guy and the question was i have to if i don't he will kill me if he gets to me. >> even though he's 35 or 40 feet away. >> once he's coming that direction, if he hasn't stopped yet when is going to stop. >> it's fair to assume missouri's use of force law came into play here.

darren wilson believes he met those requirements. >> is there anything you could have done different that would have prevent that killing from taking place? >> no. >> noin nothing? >> no. >> it seems that, i'm going to judge here, this is my opinion, that this guy has crafted answers to match the law so he could escape justice. i mean, the fact is -- there was a struggle at car, the kid left the car, and then the officer pursued him, which is a whole different phase of what transcript piered between transpired between both of them. your thoughts.

>> the big picture to me, this is a media charm offensive. we've seen this before with zimm zimmerman where the media allows the victim in a case to be dirtied up beyond recognition. so there's no way to talk about the law without understanding that this media circus is part of what's happening here. at the same time, the accused has allowed to morph into this folk hero, it's an easy formula for any lawyered-up pr team, like the one handling darren wilson, to do that. by the time the riot and gun smoke clears, knee jerk outlets will try to turn darren wilson into their latest hero figure. he's going to be their freakish

kind of everyman-superstar. so as you talk about the law, you need to understand, johnny cochran used to be my law partner and he understood that you win a lot of times in the media. the real conservative fox outlets in a couple months will throw wilson's name around for tea party contender spot at the least on dancing with the stars, that's how ridiculous this will get. we see it happening right now. within a month wilson is going to be this addictive crack cocaine commoditiy for the honey-boo boo media crowd that's where they want the to go with this. >> what about the law. what about the missouri law. if the -- the deceased left the car. if he's leaving the car after a confrontation, obviously the officer's life is no longer in danger. >> that's right. >> he could have taken different action.

he could have stayed in the car. could have called for back up. in a sense if his life was in jeopardy, he thought that, why didn't the officer protect himself by staying in the car, calling for back up. it's like there's two different chapters here. i don't see his life being endangered through the entire 90-second encounter so how does the law fix this guy's freedom. >> they are trying to mix this up so one incident ties into another, to make it an inseparable incident. the place to begin is understanding wilson's narrative about what happened in that car. this is very important, wilson initially submitted a police report that provided almost zero information because they had to set up for the very question you're asking, was it reasonable force. his lawyers advised him to do

that to of so he could develop his story around whatever forensic evidence surfed later. >> and the question from the grand jury was could brown's fist count as weapons, so the prosecutor said that's what you folks have to go behind closed door to talk about. it was clear they were leading him down a pang th of freedom a see it. >> they need time to think what they are going to say before the report. for this very reason. in weeks to follow wilson came up with a sketchy story about a black teen slowly walking in the middle of the road immediately after stealing a handful of cigars, described him as a drug-crazed hulk.

after stealing the cigars, the officer shows up in his uniform in his patrol car and this 18-year-old starts throwing f-bombs at the police officer, immediately. why is that there? why was it put there? it was put it will because you have to create this loosivucifle demon and begin bashing our 6'2" hero on the edge of consciousness. >> all right. i appreciate your time. thanks so much. thanks for being on "the ed show." appreciate it. coming up how climate change could impact your thanksgiving celebration. plus we have your turkey day football preview. i've got predictions. to your questions next on ask ed live next we're right back. e st. get to the terminal across town. are all the green lights you? no. it's called grid iq.

to be here, having to wait seven hours now, because the flight was delayed a half hour, it's a little, i mean, it's frustratin

frustrating. >> our next option is getting in late thanksgiving night tomorrow. >> i can't get a flight. everything is booked. i'm just going to go home and wait for friday. >> eh, the weather. welcome to "the ed show." along the east coast holiday travellers are dealing with pretty rough weather, facing slick road conditions and accumulating snow. this is the first wave which will impact millions of people over the next twelve hours. air travellers are facing cancellations. shows 6,915 total delays and over 1300 cancellations today. last week a lake-effect snow system dumped an epic seven feet of snow and dealt with sporadic flooding, likely from global climate change. the planet is getting hotter,

2014 may end up being the warmest year ever. noass with this to say. delays for travellers are just one tiny part of the problems climate change is bringing into our every day lives. paul douglas senior me meteorologist and saujor of sheparding the sea. great to have you both with us. we have more weather knowledge than ever before. how long is this east coast snow going to go on? what are we looking at? >> it's going to wind down pretty fast tomorrow morning. it's moving quickly. it's an i-95 storm. east of i-95. enough warm air to allow for mix

of rain and sleet pellets. west of i-95 you have the heavy wet, this is a heart attack snow. shoveling snow is more strenuous then being on a treadmill because it involves your upper body, much more taxing on your heart, then your outside to boot which constricts your blood veins and arteries all of which increases potential for heart attacks. every year thousands the of americans wind up in hospitals because of core nary problems brought on by too much shoveling, too fast. but the worse will be tonight and it will quick wby get bette tomorrow. >> any other weather systems expected over the weekend. >> it looks pretty quiet for the next couple days. we're not seeing more coastal storms but as you pointed out we

are inadvertently juicing the atmosphere, now at 400 parts per million, more carbon dioxide in the air than any time in the last 800,000 years. we've been poking at the climate system with a long sharp stick and surprised when the weather bites back so you can't blame this storm on climate change, would have happened regardless but by juicing the atmosphere and oceans there's more moisture in the air, can provide more water vapor, more fuel for precipitation and new england has seen the greatest spike in these extreme par tis pags events. if it is snowing harder and heavier in the winter some of that is because we loaded more green house gases in the

atmosphe atmosphere. >> warm temperatures in lake erie contributed to buffalo's freak snow storm last week, what else could the unseasonable temperatures lead to. what do you think? >> let me put this into perspective. there is a bigger story here, that is, the oceans are so warm, in fact, the oceans, the last six months of ocean wide temperature have been the warmest six months that we've ever seen. now that is despite the ice sheet in greenland and west ant artica adding the equivalent lent of 180 million olympic swimming pools of ice cold water. this system, as paul aptly pointed out, we're in for more climate disruption. these are bigger, more angrier storms that are going to bite

down on travellers, they're going to bite down on our food supply. look, for the every problem there are at least three solutions. future proofing and beginning at every town and city to prepare for the future is the only way forward here. ed. >> well, looking at what we're seeing, this trend, it's as troubling as could be. if we do nothing, where are we going to be in ten years? i mean, the things you're putting out where are we going to be in ten years. >> epic. epic. as a matt he matter of fact, wh and america sign a green house gas agreement that begins to take place in 2030, that is hogwash, we have a very narrow window to act. i would say 2020. my colleagues would say half of

that. by 2017. we have to have a battle plan. and look, change is opportunity in disguise, entrepreneur's know that, they take calculated risks. the lawmakers in d.c. are wasted precious time. by the way, an addict never has a problem until they look in the mirror and say help and then we roll up our sleeves. >> all right. paul douglas, reece halter, great to have you gentleman with us. >> thank you. >> you bet. coming up how corporate greed is ruining thanksgiving celebrations for a lot of workers across this country. we're talking about protecting american praditions and american workers. keep it here we're right back. it's not about how many miles you can get out of the c-max hybrid.

walmart workers have already started walking off the job in cities across the country, demanding fair wages and consistent hours. strikes are expected to continue through black friday. culminating in protests at over 1,600 walmart stores across america. retail giant k-mart is facing back lash. k-mart stores will be open 42 hours straight. starting at 6:00, 6:00 a.m. thanksgiving morning. the retail giant claims the shifts will be staffed by volunteers and seasonal employees. self-identified k-mart workers responding to a petition on k-mart.org tell a different story. think progress published some of the responses including one work he who said she was never given the choice to take on the holiday. my last day is wednesday, november 26. my husband has cancer and i refuse to work thanksgiving. i may never have another thanksgiving with him. i quit. legislators across the country have started to take notice of

this. san francisco just passed a retail workers bill of rights giving workers unprecedented protections including predictable schedules and access to extra hours. new jersey is considering a bill to protect low wage workers from being pulled away from family on holidays. joining me now, gillian fisher who started the co-worker.org petition exposing k-mart's black friday practices. great to have you with us tonight. what great work you're doing. you must be amazed at how people around the country are responding to it. we reached out to k-mart for a statement and they said, our stores do their very best to staff with seasonal associates and those who volunteer to work holidays. seasonal associates are told upon hire of our holiday store hours, and we make every effort to accommodate associate shift requests during the time. associate schedules are posted, on average, two weeks in

advance, including for holiday schedules. what's your reaction to that based on what you know? >> yeah, thank you so much for having me. i'm really excited to be here today. the statement from k-mart is a little disappointing that they haven't taken the time to respond to the accurate results that we're finding. based on my personal experience with my mom, that statement could not be further from the truth. so it is a little upsetting to hear they're trying to defend themselves and don't seem to care about their employees. >> were you surprised at the response of your petition? >> oh, my goodness, yes. i had no idea would it take off. to see 10,000 signatures is amazing. >> tell us about your mom. what did your mom go through? >> every year, she works thanksgiving. and she has always been happy to do so. but last year, i think that was the tipping point. she called me on the verge of tears. and i've never heard my mom cry before. that one struck a nerve with me.

and to hear her on the verge of tears because she was scheduled to work a split shift and they gave her that schedule a week before thanksgiving and not knowing how she will spend time with family was very upsetting. this year when i heard they were open for 42 hours straight, and she still didn't have her schedule two weeks in advance, i wanted to take a stand. i know that it couldn't just be my mom. she's been there 21 years shelf wouldn't work there if she didn't like it there but it is upsetting to see how they're taking holiday out of control. >> it sure seems these retail giants are taking advantage of workers and long time employees throughout the country. everything for the bottom line. is your mom going to be able to spend thanksgiving with your family this year? >> yes. she is fortunate them gave her her requested schedule from 6:00 a.m. to about 5:30 is when she'll go in, until 2:30. that means that somebody else will have to be work their and not spending time with their families. there's a lot of really terrible shifts out there. some of they will from 6:00 p.m.

to 2:00 a.m. fims are really not fair for them to be working. >> the i appreciate your time tonight. thanks for doing. this we need to shine a light on this. thanksgiving is being eroded away by middle class americans because they have to work for the retail giants. i wish legislation would be done to reverse this so we can respect people's time off and time together with family. that's the ed show. politics nation with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> good evening. thank you for tuning in. tonight's lead, michael brown sparking a national movement. nearly 48 hours after a grand jury declined to indict officer darren wilson. we are witnessing protests from coast to coast, and we're hearing a growing outcry from many saying the process was unfair. questions about a prosecutor who attacked the
