11:30 am
an iced after school the young gather in a house they all live in which and are between ten and sixteen years of age but as you guys can make it. all we pass an aside issues around us. so we can get started going where or how or not to covington the teacher is like their big brother this situation is hard to believe that he is teaching them how to protect themselves from the police. dull sager parents. because with that you're fitting into a stereotype that's the kind of stuff they can avoid to keep you out of any kind of situation or keep you out of trouble or not go horrible on you just because we're not we're dormant because i don't want to be a next person that we pull you to as some i just killed by a police officer because that can happen. remember tamer rice
11:31 am
where we talk about the killing twelve years old do it with. who ordered twelve and here. who's two zero. broke. that could've been your man. that could have been one of either your three that could have been you know he has three teaches a part of an indian for the protection of the black community something you ten discussed twice a month where here because we sorely need to educate the young people who are community on things that really matter in their lives with things that can really save their lives or we see the police behind us we usually put place or seatbelts on we look straight forward we know not to turn around using proper you know grammar when they do pull you over try to be polite no matter what the situation around you occurs whatever officers on duty how they feel and basically you just
11:32 am
got to go off of his prayers and hope you can find a way out a situation a lot of people look at as a threat they think they were all violent or all criminals and things like that so just try to be respectful and carry yourself differently just so people on first they will look at you different you carry yourself to. the young people who listen carefully to the advice i terrified at the thought of meeting the police. i feel like they're bigger threat than the people around me now. do you feel safe when you have to go to school so you know why because in the past so many people have been in jail for doing nothing when there are some police officers and i know i say so. you can see something happening in this is like i don't want to call the cops well . because well it's a it's a it's a day where it's a fight it's in the saw something happens and
11:33 am
a group of people are fighting i would rather fit in either i can see let that happen rather than call the cops and then those young black men lose their lives. if the trade it is because they're constantly controlled without reason in the classroom to have. has already been stopped just in districts baedeker it's. to them by how many guns. by the way our. mind frame was at that point three four or five times. the rich reason those who just walk in. no waffle no friends well it's sad to see a lot of walking home run on a clogged this. family's house just on the disc on the stump and the reason.
11:34 am
and the story goes on and all the neighborhood. does for nothing goes walking down the street. in my lifetime i say maybe. six or seven times so there's a whole lot i'll be all about police i'm not the light i get pulled over for you know what have i done wrong. i can't even tell you no it's not stopped that's more than i can i can count but you mean it ten times. maybe. ten eleven twelve i don't count i don't know i don't keep track baby in the us the police is allowed to stop any passes by if it suspects a risk or criminal threats according to the agents this practice is a way to prevent crime but from professor james brown's point of view it increases
11:35 am
the risk of making huge blunders the idea was you want to increase the contact between the police and only certain public you know not everybody is mostly folks in high crime or poor urban communities any time you increase the contact between police and citizens. we were increased the likelihood that something can go. in two thousand and thirteen in pittsburgh half of the time these controls did not lead to any arrests and blacks who represent twenty six percent of the population were controlled in sixty two percent of cases like. this practice had its heyday in new york in two thousand and eleven where the police record and yet he choose thousand checks a day in one cases out of ten they were unjustified and as always those who are most targeted where the black people. in the figures are vocal but no policeman dares to admit it. i've.
11:36 am
yet former officer has agreed to break the silence his assessment is alarming the hunt for black people in which he participated is part of a racist system that he condemns today. bravely wastes lives out in the countryside far from philadelphia where he said for twenty three years. now retired he insisted on putting on his uniform to reveal the openly racist practices of his former colleagues. the first thing he denounces is a quote server rests imposed on us police in many large cities up this race for numbers pushes them to control black people for no reason quotas lead to arrests
11:37 am
for no reason. that isn't credibly. disgusting they would take a person's freedom away to meet a quota. minorities have no one to call if they're only arrested the white person will call their local political committee man a person they'll call the parents perhaps of a teenager we'll call the local politician you know what's going on here my child was arrested just because he didn't have his license why don't you just tell him to go home and get his license and things like so the white person has more power but people have no connection to the people in power so you know there's not going to be any. blowback on arresting a minority because they don't have any power to complain and after americans an attorney unjustly arrested thin not cheated with the same respect as a white people i ran because nobody else around again stop somebody from going through like it was
11:38 am
a out of your car out of your car show me id you would say that to a white person you would go up and say. may i see your driver's license please and blacks know that blacks know when you look so out of your car now and then they say well what did i do it don't what did i do don't say that don't ask me why i'm stopping you i said get out of the car and that's right there you forced disrespect and i saw that happening and blacks know what's happening they know it's not happening to white people so automatically they start resenting the police just from little things command verbal commands let alone the physicality of grabbing somebody and putting them in handcuffs while you check their id and unfortunately when i. would tell other officers well that's enough is enough then they would think a what are you. an end for the word what are you an and lover and
11:39 am
and for. in front of a camera that term used between policeman is unpronounceable for a waste since he retired he campaigns openly against the racist behavior of the police the former officer has even made a very explicit. here's what people have been saying about redacted the night exactly just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is they're really packed a punch. yap is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth. and see people you never heard of love right back to the night my president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an email. i had a great education a good job and
11:40 am
a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sweet. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you know . i thought the glory like you. you know just wanted to still give up for the. part. you don't really feel like me being that. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me in. this book. in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers shocked the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion united states dollars pass through most
11:41 am
conseco in the amount of time that we've been in panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of most fun psycho documents where examiners. the all the people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. and probably other politician which was tough at the other politicians the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course. oh my god i've had so i have sued
11:42 am
so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no one american single special a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. the panama chronicles. a fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on earth because. i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so well with.
11:43 am
the thinks he's going to. say. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to press. you to go on to be pressed to say what the full story of the morning can't be good but i'm interested always in the waters about how. close it. i'm asking police and open season stop shooting black man just like they're some
11:44 am
kind of animal they wouldn't do this with that white now why they have they devalue the black man the black man is well let's put it this way in driving down a street in philadelphia on a hot friday night in august i was with a partner and of course hot august night in philadelphia it's well if people don't have air conditioning in and they're outside there's a lot of people outside on the steps in the street and if we're writing down my partner says well the roaches are out tonight the what roaches cockroaches their little. bugs that crawl into floor they're all like that i can garbage and it's a very derogatory term roach the roaches are out tonight so if you view. people as a roach as an insect an undesirable very undesirable insect. you're going
11:45 am
to be able to shoot them much easier than you would a person that you value hire a white person or spoke to them at the time maybe was did not know how to respond to the violence against the black people and he even got carried away by it that was. something that i became hard and somewhat so that i was not an angel. i use an excess of force and i. slap somebody when he said something really insulting to me and after i did that i realized wow i should that i had no right to do that that was not professional it was it was not i was not professional was not human about a week later. another incident occurred and i used more force
11:46 am
than i needed. after the guy was handcuffed i grabbed more pushed him up against the wall and i said don't you dare say that to me again do you understand and i realize this is a disease i'm starting to develop. what is saying really wish is not specific to philadelphia agents. in march this year the ministry of justice published an alarming reports about the ferguson police more than one hundred pages show how the police violated the rights of black residents in the city. of racism with the american police has become such a big issue that a conscious awakening in some police stations has started we are in norwalk connecticut. going back to school today in small unit growth for three days and these twenty five offices will learn how to get rid of
11:47 am
a racist pig judges says this optional training is given by two former agents their mission is a challenge to make these offices understand that they too have to judge this is what we're going to learn today is it a possibility that everyone in this room as biased as police in a biased manner and you don't even know that you've done it i can tell you the story you'll hear from me is i helped police in a biased manner i know that now didn't realize that twenty or thirty years ago this lady trainer uses her test and experience as an example in role playing in the first simulation the suspect is a white woman. officers are to be reporting party calls i reports there's a woman sitting on the bus stop across the street he's been robbed several times he thinks he may have gotten us to respond. but the two offices have to control her. blow ups or her you i'm well how are you good when suddenly.
11:48 am
remember that we're going to have to come your husband your kids are just an accident over there you have to come here courtesy of her kids her kids in her husband were in your eyes all but i think written on your hat he was there like they're bleeding not to come model so i'll fill in the confusion the two police officers let her go without even searching had the next scenario if we were replay this right now are ok and shot down or this time the trainer chooses a black suspect what would happen automatically bronzer to grow they're going to stop him why this is a more likely you know that he's a person that's going to have a gun and so they're not like me and i let him go. talk about their perception of what they see is that so i don't i don't let him go given that wanted to be would give to our selves even black officers get it the white woman had the weapon but the police arrested the unarmed black person more the lesson that the police
11:49 am
whatever happens tend to see black people as criminals but it is not easy for them to admit that they have races pre-judge as. i thought they certainly didn't tell everybody do it all right you know not that i haven't really thought about it you know or now so i don't know that i could. accurate. answer the question but you know maybe three days ago do you think that's after these training you are going to the same sit to wait you all want to know that it was. because i want to. change the way i'm working with you know part of the i will be more self will your training is designed to teach teach to teach us the rest of the police officers are likely pharma to be. more fair. more impartial. jury where we already are fair and impartial of the best or fair priority for the head of this department
11:50 am
office this training after the numerous cases of police violence throughout the country well this is not what this shows our community that we're doing everything we can to make sure we're policing in a fair manner is going to make our job easier we was going to trust us more and everybody was so it's really it's a win win the only point on which this manager loses is the price sixteen thousand dollars it is one of the most expensive optional courses the only case in which it is financed by the ministry of justice is when recent blunders were committed few agencies have been trained so far but since ferguson demand is soaring i'm going to out and tell the end of the year and was trying to look into twenty fifth teams this is my schedule so far. the n.y.p.d. has asked for the training it's expected in pittsburgh this year. but is this a solution. just a very visceral sort of. the city of baltimore started training its police officers
11:51 am
against racial prejudice last year despite that young afro american died in april this year players or demonstrations for the protection of black people in the riots that shake the city images that suddenly reminds america if it's past. the past that continues to haunt the country. in the southeast of the united states three hours from atlanta america has a meeting with its own history on this form a land of slavery blacks did not have the same rights as whites. fifty years ago the police were beating up blacks here. fifty years ago young african-americans would not have had the right to walk on this bridge. the march that changed the
11:52 am
destiny of the black community is come in memory to today the fight for black freedom to fight against racism to the right to vote like white people that. little bad boy all right all right first of all. on sunday march seventh one thousand nine hundred sixty five on a bridge in selma six hundred african americans demonstrated peacefully to demand their right to vote. the state governor ordered the police to charge the activists . over fifty people were taken to hospital. the event became a symbol. here fifty years later the president the protesters are waiting for is black history acknowledgement has witnessed. in his speech barack obama makes an analogy between the come immigration and the recent events in the country. he admits that there is still a lot to be done. of course the more common mistake is to suggest that
11:53 am
ferguson is a isolated incident. that racism is better. than the work the girl men and women to selma is now complete. we don't need the ferguson reports and no that's not true. why does need to open our minds and our ears and our hearts to know that this nation's racial history still can assist long shadow upon us. on the bridge in selma many share the same feeling many still have the impression of living in a racist country. black people are popular anywhere not in america not in france any ice this is a little different because we were former slaves so that mentality is still there even though we're not currently slaves we can still be viewed as slaves sometimes. and this white has a slogan black people i can't breathe. the last words of every gonna strangled by the n.y.p.d. . my god. why did you well this shot today because we can't breathe either way
11:54 am
because for black. berry gone his mother was also they. have. to get up here to see to write a business and our great story this is a commemoration not a celebration and now we have to go forward with this we shouldn't stop until everybody gets justice you know justice in this city justice in every city you know because what happened on this bridge is similar to what happened to my son you know they had nobody guards for our wives and. kids and we didn't get jesse ship but we're still pushing on we want to show and just like we're pushing on here we've got a story. erica and
11:55 am
his mother will continue to fight in order to sentence the policeman who killed her son it will not be easy to hand and for all those in selma today walking on this bridge is a way to continue the fight for justice and equality the fight that is and. necessary. you have blunders and pretty soon. the united states is still very far from having solved the issue with racism.
11:56 am
no one's ever no one has ever had and never even heard about most.
11:57 am
thank you. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. and this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be
11:58 am
a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there are a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. it's the cradle of jazz. the america is still very good we have good food knows this jazz feel. a city of climatic contests trophies of alligators on the loose of poverty and crime are used by the least
