well you better had sex with her right there. october twenty second is the national day against police brutality even though many are using today as a platform to spread awareness about police violence this overstepping of authority is happening every hour of every day across the country and fact according the bureau of justice statistics between four hundred and five hundred innocent people are murdered by law enforcement officers every year we've all heard the names oscar

grant and rodney king what about the thousands more that are subject to the same exact fate take a look at some recent examples starting at the tragic death of jose get into the two thousand and twenty six year old military veteran the shot dead on may of two thousand and eleven so after working a long overnight shift he came home to find shadowy figures trying to break down his door with guns and because two of his family members had previously been killed in a home invasion he grabbed his shotgun before even knew what was going on a swat team fired seventy one shots at him hitting him twenty two times. and. one. although got to know his wife and child were home at the time of the shooting police wouldn't let her call. on one until it was too late after

a two year legal battle with pima county swat the family was finally awarded a three point four million dollars settlement but not every victim of police brutality receives millions of dollars november of two thousand and twelve a couple was killed by cleveland police after law enforcement mistook the sound of their backfiring car with gunshots a car chase ensued despite officers being told not to pursue the car and finally the couple found themselves at a dead end but instead of getting the chance to surrender for their non-crime police fired a reign of bullets into the stopped car one hundred and thirty seven times the couple was unarmed and although disciplinary hearings are in the works for sixty four officers involved in the shooting not a single one has been fired or charged with murder our last example takes us to philadelphia and september twenty seventh of this year two pedestrians were stopped in what appeared to be a routine stop and frisk incident the two officers claim that the reason they

stopped the men was because they said hi to a stranger check out the recording. you want to work. down there and then. you know they're going to sit down in a step with back on what you told until. you know they either strangers you know initially i mean this neighborhood. just you know when you work and then i'm you don't think i just told the officer in question officer philip ney's went on to berate the pedestrian calling him a freeloader even though he was walking to his job and when the man explained it is from new jersey officer names told him to stay out of philadelphia and remember even the new york judge just stop and frisk unconstitutional the practice is still being widely used across the nation and remember these are just a handful of examples of police brutality considering how it's illegal to film police in many states now it's enough to make you wonder how many more incidents of racial profiling or even wrongful death. every day that we don't know about.

police brutality is not just a problem it's an epidemic but the rise of militarization across local police forces cops are treating neighborhoods like battlefields it's a phenomenon that's become institutionalized take a look at the response from cops themselves about the inner workings of the force according to national criminal justice reference service forty three percent of cops are green always following the rules is not compatible with getting the job done twenty five percent said that they have witnessed fellow officers her ass in a citizen most likely because of his or her race had to do percent say it's not unusual for officers to turn a blind eye to misconduct done by other officers and forty nine percent feel that the only way a criminal receive any punishment is to punish the individual themselves the way

the police feel about their own misconduct probably doesn't comfort the thousands of family members affected by police violence in the u.s. it's a subject one organization is tackling head on with a new documentary called no justice no peace just to warn you some of these images are graphic. thanks. oh. we have a cell phone and they say yeah i'm ten times in the back i made up a right. to believe and. stop. twenty pre-crime one

for every your client my sandwich i like and their tax base our already a rail at our so why certainly one still hard this of course and for itself is shocking in the fact he was shot back in. the back i still feel there executed and shooting that is so close that the last words are space. joining me now to discuss more about this film's message and the rampant abuse being committed from behind a bad bitch is michael prysner organizer for the answer coalition thanks for coming on my so there's a lot of films that are done about police brutality what message is this film trying to tell oh well you know the issue of police misconduct and police filings is of course very multifaceted so you could ranges from racist harassment of black and brown communities with the stop and frisk like with one clip that you showed to mass incarceration and all of the poor people particularly african-american

community rolled up into the mass incarceration system to militarize crack down on peaceful protest and constitutionally protected activity all of these things are part of this issue of police brutality but what this film focuses on and what the movement that it centered on is focusing on is the outright execution of innocent unarmed people by police officers you can give no rational explanation whatsoever for why that killing was justified who have complete impunity and zero accountability for their crimes and a lot of it centers around the families and their messages and that was really really powerful of the lawyer representing the family the victims of these families let's talk about a police murders now an epidemic in southern california and you can some examples of the most egregious cases that have come to characterize how sure and of course i mean that's kind of the main point of the film too is that all of these heroic families that have stood up when they've dealt with such a deep perfect tragedy instead of hiding in their houses or at fact confronting the police and standing up and working very hard to build this movement but one of the

families on who we work with this coalition to take action on this is a recent case of a police killing of someone named byrd to our sara who was killed in california this past may i'm that is a very typical case ringo was a well known community member he was a worker at the local hospital everyone knew him he was racially profiled because the police were looking for someone who had been in a fight so of course they were on high alert they racially profiled rigo he gets out of his car right in front of the. how many witnesses have confirm the story followed police instruction got out of the car with his hands up in the news of mediately shot in the heart and killed he was one of thirteen people in the month of may alone who was killed in that area so that speaks to how widespread of a problem that is this was not a story of a police officer who thought that rigo was a danger to his life this is a story of an officer who wanted to shoot someone and had his justification to shoot someone and took that action and so i think that the problem in the what most people don't aware is that people want to characterize you as

a well the cop thought their life was in danger come up with excuses he was going for my gun he was reaching for his waistband but i say it really comes down to really these cowards sociopath doods who want to act like cowboys and go live their dream of shooting some people who might be listening to you know that's crazy cops look out for their citizens i can't help but bring up speaking of sociopath captain ray lewis former police captain of the philadelphia police force said that police are actually vetted specifically for says you know patrick tendencies and also a lack of empathy i mean could this play into why we're seeing such cases of brutality and aggression against citizens yeah absolutely i mean of course there's a lot to be said about the individual personalities of many of the people who are wearing a badge and carrying out daily acts of brutality against the community so they're going to be policing but i see this issue goes beyond individual personalities it goes beyond training better training and it goes beyond the people saying this is a few bad apples that need to be rectified this is about an entire system where

there is this inherent adversarial relationship between the armed men who are employed by this government which is the government of the big banks the corporations the rich against the communities that there are policing poor communities the press communities those who experience the amount of brutality and look at so it's not the individuals it's the role of the police in our society you know if you're. you get evicted from your apartment you can't call the cops and say hey my landlord is trying to kick me out can you come help me the cops going to come. that's the place you know if you're going to strip your worker who goes on strike the cops are going to come and say to the boss you need to give these workers a fair contract they're going to hit you over the head to stop breaking the strike and nothing showed that exemplify that more than the n.y.p.d. and occupy wall street showing that they really do work on behalf of those banks given a hefty donation from the banks let's let's play another clip from the film that really stuck with me here. how hard if we look to crime a solution for crime or solution rates how hard if we looked at soft homicides. how

many people are they saving for so many people the killer use of the hard questions that we have to ask each and every community i mean here you are talking about how this is an institutionalized problem and i hear something like that i think i don't even know i mean what would the breakdown be if we actually saw this is to say that how many people are being killed versus say well you know we know that the number of killed is extremely high in the hundreds every year i mean one study shows between four and five hundred person people killed by the police and this is something of course inherent in this type of system where you have a system of the vast. minority ruling over the vast majority i mean to employ these different types of things first but if people really knew the numbers i would say that if you look at the cases in this film and you know more than fifty families who i will have a loved one killed by the police and all of them give their testimonies in this film telling what happened and not a single one of these cases can you say that that officer could have possibly believed that his life was in danger and so people can say whatever they want to

about you know in general cops are fearing for their lives but if you actually look at the stories of what's happening there's absolutely no explanation for why the leash force should be used and so this is i think we're in a situation where people be really shocked at the level of epidemic that this is absolute and then amount of gun shots for these people is just absolutely extraordinary for cops that actually are held accountable and go through the justice system what sort of. punishment do they generally receive none i mean you know when they go through the justice system they're a part of that you know racist oppressive justice system so of course you're not held accountable the police investigate themselves when they commit a killing and of course if you're investigating yourself you're going to come out and say yes i was justified in this killing but in the repair cases that police do go to trial for a killing of a unarmed innocent person the courts are lined up behind them to the media is lined up behind them too and there's absolutely no type of fairness in it whatsoever we have one example of a police officer who murdered someone on camera joining us measure we murdered

oscar grant in front of tons of witnesses and video he went to jail for a levon months only because there is massive uprisings in the street all over the country so that shows you just how much this justice system cares about people who are murdered by cops back on the force now and he's an armed security guard and so he's carrying a gun. and he's going to go and that's really a great sarcastic obviously why is this war being waged because i think people look at cops and they say they're here to protect why are they waging a war against us right well you know we can look to the massive growth in the military as ation of the police and the hyper aggressive tactics coinciding with growing radicalism in the united states so in the sixty's and seventy's when swat teams were formed cops were pumped full of all the fancy gear you see them wearing now and this was coinciding with growing radicalism among african-american communities native communities latino communities people were in motion in political motion fighting back against the status quo challenging the core institutions of society and so this government responded with vicious brutality

against those communities to crush those movements and of course those things have remained in place today why isn't police brutality an issue in beverly hills of course there are dangerous people in beverly hills there are crazy people in beverly hills but this is an issue in beverly hills because the people living in beverly hills don't have the potential to really come out against the current status quo this rule of the rich that we live under and so cops are employed and poor oppressed and. community is that those in really in power in this country know have the potential to be radicalized and have potential to fundamentally change this way that this site is run not something they very much want to protect the thank you so much everyone check it out no justice no peace very powerful documentary my cries are from the answer coalition really appreciate your time is that. still to come tonight we'll hear from joining us on does lawyer on the recent movie the fifth estate stay tuned.

to the. show thirty four countries been building billion euro zone she says should each one to keep a million degrees with some token mark still to sell something peacefully to france the trouble in-situ the song. leave the future of coverage.

i. a. riveting hard hitting a blockbuster thriller these are just a few of the things no one is saying about the theatrical release of the fifth state the movie is a portrayal of wiki leaks founder julian a song and his rise of notoriety the controversial film didn't do well the box office in fact saying that it bombed is putting it lightly free downloads of media

stand however a film produced by wiki leaks blew the fifth estate out of the water point and five hundred thousand downloads last week and allowing in a statement made by doing a song that's coincided with the film's release said quote instead of wasting your money and time on hollywood propaganda why not get all your friends around and spend your time watching media stand instead looks like it works in case you haven't caught the new a song doctor drama here's a clip. from days well truth kind of highlight. out of cyberspace came wiki leaks. and the leaks paved the way for operation cable run. the big. challenge to find news editors willing to run the most explosive stories of this century. yeah a realistic rendition of wiki leaks and the hard work that goes into an

organization like it versus an overly produce thriller portraying assad as an egomaniac so joining me now to talk about hollywood's historical revisionism and media stan a film and joined by attorney and president emeritus of the center for constitutional rights michael ratner always a pleasure to have you on abbey always great to be with you so michel the fifth estate movie not only bombed it's being called the worst film release of the year why do you think this is you know i mean i just came from the film because i figured that i'm going to go on your show i should see the film just opened in new york actually a couple of days ago i was here for a way for the weekend but the best news about the film is that when i went to the theater there were two other people in a three hundred seat movie theater they had it running at one thirty and two thirty but of course no one was going to it and it bombed i think a bomb for two reasons one is it gave a completely what i would call false picture of who julian a songe is one that picked up all the media negativity and of course it was based on a book by someone who'd been a volunteer for wiki leaks and who then had

a falling out and wrote a really nasty book and the second reason i think is because it was completely untruthful it's made up and it's made up in a way that actually can really harm julian assange who they are looking at the criminally indicted if they have not already indicted him in the united states it falsifies key facts about the revelations and the quote that the us claims came from wiki leaks absolutely and we just watched a short clip from the media stan talk about how this film contrast against that that the state. well maybe a stay and tell us the real story of how we keep leaks tried to get its information out tried to get partners all over the world took its volunteers took their lives in their hands by trying to do that and really goes into the issues and the seriousness with which we keep leaks is trying to expose the truth to people all over the world not just in the united states this film does the opposite first it

goes after the character of julian assange really almost in a cartoonish way you know with having words out of. the real the real quote hero in the film according to hollywood the man who had a falling out with wiki leaks and julian assange. her words that try and demean julian assange makes him into a cartoon making of course the man who fell out with wiki leaks is more of the hero in the film when you course it was nothing nothing of the sort the second thing it does and i think this is crucial to understand is there's a claim in the film that the release of the documents how armed or even had people killed who were revealed whose names were revealed in those documents and that's not true and i was at the bradley manning case when the government tried to prove bradley manning being one of the people who gave documents to wiki leaks and the government tried to prove that those documents caused harm or cause someone to be

killed on cross-examination they couldn't come up with one case of harm or killing yet this movie goes with that bias as a way of really prejudicing wiki leaks prejudicing truth tellers like bradley manning jeremy hammond julian assange publisher and others and that's what it does and it's a nasty nasty piece of business that if you were to make such a bald faced lie because we already know that that is come home untrue and nothing no one was harmed it's never been proven that anyone was harmed from the release of these leaks do you think that this is a. deliberate effort on behalf of the government i mean do you think that as we saw on zero dark thirty that the government was actually working in concert with hollywood to deliberately try to put out some preemption of a historical revisionism the narrative of her weeks abbie it's impossible to figure this stuff out why i mean it may be that i deserved dark thirty was obviously hand in glove with the cia but why they would make a film that is known to be false on the issue of harm and causing harm and then

worse than there they actually show an escape from a country libya in this case originally it was iran in the script libya of a person whose name was supposedly exposed by the wiki leaks documents they show the state department concerned that person escaping with his baby and his wife and they just make it over the border at the egypt but the question i would have is why would a filmmaker do with a at and not interview the families of the journalists the reuters journalists who were killed in the collateral murder video or the kids whose father was killed when they were trying to rescue people on the street after the collateral murder murder video or the victims who were tortured why when they interviewed those people the thousands and mil actually maybe a million people the victims of what we could link shown showed who were killed instead they concentrate on a completely fictitious story about someone whose name was allegedly exposed completely made up so if they're not hand in glove with the government in the way zero dark thirty was they're certainly doing the work of the federal government and

it's irresponsible of the filmmakers to be doing that in the context of an ongoing grand jury investigation against julian assange and wiki leaks it just adds fuel to the fire and it's a bad movie as some reviewers have said and as you said it's cartoonish it's it's it's basically a bore it's a review it looks horrible i mean when i first saw the trailer that this is a laughably bad looking you know as we know wrote an open letter to benedict cumberbatch the actor portraying him in the film and asked him to remove himself in the movie why did he reach out to the actor using. this is just kind of make a statement and get that message across it said again why did he work jack wrote a letter open letter to know about i letter oh yeah do you think that this is just to make a statement i mean pretty much because of course you know it was an interesting move to kind of write to the actor playing and instead of maybe the director or something you know cumberbatch should ask first to meet with julian because he said i want to be able to get your mannerisms and cetera which it just for the record are totally exaggerated in the film and or the tics and all that just completely

exaggerated cumberbatch right so julian said i'd like to come and see what the embassy the ecuadorian embassy in london so i can get your character and julian says look at as much as i respect you as an actor this is not going to be a good film and i wouldn't recommend that you participate in it and by my meeting with you it would add legitimacy to the film so this wasn't just a stage piece by julian assange this was a serious response to cumberbatch as request to meet with julian and i think they both treated it seriously and got into you know a series of discussions about it i think to certainly i think the cumberbatch is benefit i think there were some changes made at the end i don't think they were sufficient obviously to take this film out of the realm of complete fantasy and the harm it caused to julian assange and one other point i want to make about the film is it shows of course the guardian that are were rusbridger it shows keller and others at scenes where they were not really at but one thing i want to contrast is

the way wiki leaks and its media partners have dealt with their sources compared to what rusbridger kalar and others in the quote major media like the guardian and the new york times have done you know jeremy hammond is coming up for sentencing on november fifteenth i understand that there's a letter being written by wiki leaks as well as a number of its media partners really supporting jeremy hammond and asking for the judge for some kind of leniency when i see that kind of letter written by the new york times in the guardian about its sources whether it's manning or it's other publishing partner like julian assange. you know that i'll have some respect for those newspapers until i see that i won't well is an extremely important move for joy and i really like that he wrote that open letter and i think it's also really important they really use that counter to that historical revisionism with media stan really amazing to have you on have your insight i won't be seeing the film because it looks terrible and i don't even want to give him my money thank you so much michael ratner attorney here president emeritus center under colorado writes
