9:30 am
if you're a political news junkie then you're probably experiencing a serious overdose consider the recent nato meeting trump's visit to the u.k. so called russia gate heats up and the trump putin summit we discuss it all your own crossed. so. you are as cases on our own black way and at the hands of the us police have
9:31 am
national protests and the rest across america bringing the issue of police brutality for what's causing the violence and is there a way to cool down and. i ask a man who used to sell drugs on the streets and then became a high ranking and y p d officer corey. for one part of the population these people are going to protect sort. of their hunters looking for prey. serves as a reminder. how has the situation in america's black community spiraled so far or trolls so that cops need tanks to break up riots and discrimination by the authorities be proven. and how can you trust the. current piggies veteran offstage new york police department author of once
9:32 am
a cop welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now corey at least three hundred black people were killed by us police and twenty sixteen alone now this makes them three times more likely to be killed by the authorities than white people seventy percent of the time these people weren't armed or dangerous how can the statistics be explained well first of all thanks for having me which traditionally united states of america black. have been killed. at an enormous rate compared to non black americans in this issue is something that police in these to take control of get a grip of really soon because no longer can the police control the narrative because videos are out there and you see a lot of recent case just in the past few years on the video was helping them to enhance these cases and bring in police offices holding them accountable for the action is least they're going to trial isn't it i think that they think in
9:33 am
a little more now before he pull a gun start shooting someone now if a police officer fears for his are her alive they are allowed to shoot this essentially gives them the power to be the judge and executioner at any given moment how do you understand when to take this kind of authority well let me just clarify when a cop can be a life it doesn't mean that they have to shoot someone you can always retreat you can run you don't have to shoot you shoot if you filled that your life is in imminent danger or someone else right there at that moment i somebody is going to use deadly physical force if you don't have that if there's an imminent deadly physical force being used against you or another right now you're not allowed to pull your file amount to shoot but corey on the other hand police have to be ready to face a person with
9:34 am
a gun and according to the latest pew research poll is gonna order ship levels in the united states has increased to forty four percent is that why officers feel that you know sometimes they have to pull the trigger. no. amount of guns as in america it doesn't weighs on wood it doesn't weigh on the cops i'm on when they get raided it's who won't engage in diversion in a gun battle like i said previously the only time is when they see the gun on the trigger somebody is about to start shooting at them or someone else imminently causing deadly physical force to occur if that's not happening it doesn't matter how many people are carrying guns cops or the ones that's supposed to be out there troll in the area and getting guns off the streets i've been a situations where people pull out guns and i didn't file or that person didn't fire and we disarmed them in a rest that happens every day in new york city and around america but you know what
9:35 am
also happens a lot when people reach for their wallets or water or phone and they get shot because police officer somehow think that they're reaching for their gun. what about those cases. yes in those cases remember these you gotta understand in defense of police officers these are split second decisions that they're making and then after these decisions occur we sit back we have a lot of time we can sit down and review it now in order for cops to stop shooting unknown people one of the first things they need to do in these situations is get behind some cover or concealment if you're not behind cover you know come a buy you time i give you that extra second go to the make sure that so while eight or so roboto or a candy bar just standing in the middle of a street and someone reaches in their back in their back with a waistband the cop is not going to sit in the home give them the benefit of the
9:36 am
doubt because people shouldn't be reaching their waist being with cops have guns trained on them same police don't move and so these are split second decisions it's tragic decisions some of them the cops are overzealous in my opinion and a lot of people are playing in america some of these cops are overzealous. cops should be behind cover and concealment because that buys you time and gets you to analyze the situation before you start firing police officers are not always punished for violence statistics by mapping police violence or just that ninety seven percent of cases did not result in a police officer being charged why i mean our gerri is inclined to side with the police does that create a sense of impending for certain members of the police. now what we're talking about to disciplinary system i think is flawed. you're talking about cases that go to a jury it's my personal belief and the belief of some people out hit that i truly believe
9:37 am
if a cop is involved in the shooting that this would be a special prosecutor that comes in and enhanced the case you should have the local district attorney prosecuting cops because district attorneys and cops are pretty much laying in bed together and so the district attorney again in my opinion i how hard are they going to go to prosecute the person the police officer is just like the cases stat now where are we gonna who we all saw was murdered on television in a medical exam they said it was a homicide as fixie ation the district attorney out this stat now i didn't try hard to get an indictment is very easy to get an indictment of anybody in america he didn't try hard because he didn't want to get an indictment now you sat in the beginning that videos help with the situation with police shootings now a lot of incidents become public knowledge almost instantly thanks to police cam
9:38 am
surveillance social media but with all this reason cases why isn't this helping curb the violence. it hasn't curb the violence because again like the police department is they have to hold these cops feet to the fire the district attorneys have to put on strong cases when in fact that you can see that there was some mis you know misdoings by the police officer now in the black and hispanic minority community all they action for is like the freddy gray case down in baltimore all six cops were acquitted of the crime but at least a went to trial before the cameras cops were killing people unknown black men was dying and nobody was being held accountable at least now when i say they can't help but at least now we're seeing it on video to actually go into court and put on a trial they have peers or a judge and that's all we can really x. would know what the inside internally these police chiefs and superintendents need
9:39 am
to stop firing these cops need to be more psychological evaluations maybe every three to five years i mean i was a cough a twenty one years i have one cycle. own evaluation in one thousand nine hundred two and then gnome two thousand and thirteen i retired i don't have a number once i went twenty one years without anybody x. me you saw all of these things going on it was command of some of the boards priest is in the city you saw a lot of dead bodies are you ok are you alright and that's what they need to do because you weeded out these police officers is that hard for black police officers to speak out i mean are they more apprehensive about speaking out about the wrongdoings of their white colleagues or perhaps not sympathizing with black communities. i think it's a little bit of both one no one wants to be ostracized that's one of the problems you know throughout my career as you know if you read the book i've been outspoken
9:40 am
since i became a police officer because i knew where i came from i know what my ancestors went through a new doubt malcolm x. martin luther king was paved the way for me and they spoke out and made it possible for me to even be a police officer but some of these cops black officers get into these police diplomas and they want to fit in so they want to get be a part of that blue wall and they keep their mouth shut because it's all about them but for me it was always about who's coming after me how my family going to fill i got to be to fall to my house i got to be a hero to my kids so i can go to work and not see something and don't say me thing that just does not work for me but a lot of black cops are just going along to get along because they had a house a white picket fence and the call and it's all about them but it's not about them it's about us it's about the young black men and women hispanic my no reason to be in abuse and let me just make no mistake about it that the overwhelming majority of cops are out there doing the right thing they're doing the job every day but we
9:41 am
need to weed out the bad ones because the bad ones give everybody a very bad name but it's also known that police officers who report wrongdoings in their units are labeled threats by their fellow cops is there a current culture inside the police force. oh yeah their label rights because that's what the police diplomas they have to have oem you know like in the n.y.p.d. we have internal affairs is you know who's to watch told for corruption nomen when people make allegations against cops you know they're protected they've got to have they've got to have mechanisms in place and these police departments will give incentives or how about you know i always say well you know whenever a cop get into shooting they promote him to detect well how about promoting a cop that tells you you know breaks a case of you know three or four rogue officers in the present how about lift him him or her and you've got to make incentives because if you don't have incentives
9:42 am
no one wants to stay and be on the front line speaking about something to be besides me i did it all the time and i was ostracized but i didn't really care was in about me it was about us and making sure that i offered to people that look like me when i was working in the community so as a police officer as part of america's largest police force the n.y.p.d. i realize that you probably feel a sense of responsibility to the black community and the authorities so where does this distrust come from between the police and minority communities. what the distress is quite evident to distrust is because. you know i always say that in black communities day hunt and white communities they protect and serve is no secret when you can just look at stop question and frisk which is you know something that's major and it's been ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge who look it was like ninety to ninety five percent of those stops
9:43 am
will black male hispanics and you put it on the map it's all a black and hispanic communities now do not non-black it hispanic communities is a white people they commit they commit crimes that's something drugs we got an opiate issue out here in new york along our suffolk in crime but then i didn't stop and bent her stand i didn't stop and white stone so d'etat get in our communities and when you talk to community you break the distrust that's how you get to distrust between the cops and the minority community there's no one trust the police as a certain point is a segment of the community that just does not trust the police. we're going to break right now we'll be back with cory the police officer who served with the ally people for twenty one years because of the problems of police treatment of the african-american cruelty.
9:44 am
became this national camera. roughly once the show and some will pay you for the. future uncool videos joining the world cup and someone with the broccoli string at . my down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football 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 just
9:45 am
kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well chance for. the base this minute. well i think this catastrophe of holding in britain for the past fifteen years or so was its connection to the e.u. and the ability to have its own currency and yet passport rights into the you take those away and you have essentially greece on steroids and all those banks and the e.u. and america are going to attack the plate and drive into bankruptcy. you
9:46 am
know we're back with korea take means to former deputy inspector at the n.y.p.d. author of one cycle talking about the complicated relationship for america. and the black community welcome back corey so that says apartment hands military equipment to police across the country why this is happening and why what are police in a small town need armored vehicles or machine guns what for. well that's been that been a major issue than it was since the ferguson. ferguson effect and we saw the police rolled in a row with tanks and. machine guns and we don't need that you don't you know so let me just be clear. you can have that type of equipment but you know me to bring it down and this is absolutely necessary when we look at these police
9:47 am
diplomas rolling around in tanks in m.p. fog machine gun strapped to their back have a log it looks as if ferguson was iraq and that's not the case you need to be able to articulate and talk to people build relationships that's how you stop these rise by building relationships you can have a riot and don't have any connections to the community because it's going to be a real rye where you're going to be jumping on cause break and it's a houses and then you're going to be forced to bring that stuff out so do they necessarily need it you know i look at the n.y.p.d. we have all the best equipment in the in the country we've had riots and you never see daylight p.d. rolling down a block we're on trucks because we believe. with the important people in the community well you don't need that you don't need all of this equipment and urban environment black officers make up only twelve percent of all local police officers
9:48 am
and those are the figures from twenty fifteen and the number is not growing why are black people joining the police force as much they prevented from doing. what is if there's a few issues here one young black men don't want to be police officers to a certain extent then you have this piece to it is that they weed in black offices for petty stuff like bad credit. you know if they had some is like you know speeding tickets this stuff day when i'm out when you look at the count of the white officers that have the same issues that the black hole says i have and they were allowed to get on the job and a black horse is a being weeded out because every time they tell me that they can't find a black offices i can name twenty five black officers that took the police to us and they're ready to go to be high it is and you see a police officer so i don't know what these investigators are doing but we do know
9:49 am
the numbers of very low and in the black community is a lot of kids that want to be cops and there's a segment that don't want to be cops because of the treatment that they see on television the treatment that they might have also armories. we interrupt this program upset think oh to bring you breaking news here on our team for national the these are the latest pictures from the u.s. russia summit taking place and whole thinking finland donald trump and lot of here putin met with their diplomats as part of the summit program here they are sitting down to lunch after the two of them spoke for just over two hours the u.s. and russian leaders held link the talks behind closed doors and in iran an hour's time we expect them to hold a joint news conference but of course that can also be delayed. those presidents are flanked by six aides both. my pump aoe the u.s. secretary of state is there along with his counterpart sergei lavrov those two also
9:50 am
had a short meeting on the sidelines of this summit while putin and trump sat down to talk behind closed doors. with only their translators in tow one white house pool reporter has tweeted saying that trump responded to one shot a question following their one on one talks saying that that meeting was a very good start so we'll have to see what more is said about what happened during that meeting when they hold their press conference later on today there you can also see that trump is joined by his national security advisor john bolton again there's mike pompei o. also chief of staff white house chief of staff john kelly is there and the u.s. ambassador to russia jon huntsman. this lunch is a continuation of the summit in helsinki. earlier the two presidents met just one
9:51 am
on one and here they are with their advisors the media was led into the room for a very short period of time and then let out of the room so that the talks could continue. thank you and. oh. wait. the leaders then started talks with there but the diplomats as part of the summit program are to seal it to try and go was there for us. so that meeting lasted two times longer than originally expected and we were told we don't want to fill the first who are these thank you oh large the orders that we heard mr cummings on the phone that she was on we don't say that there was a great start to the summit. and here's a sneak peek of the preparations made for the joint lunch enjoyed by the presidents
9:52 am
and their teams here we are in the kitchen at the presidential palace and healthy. we now expect the final news conference to take place shortly before their private meeting vladimir putin and double trump gave brief speeches there were russian president said it was time for talks with his american counterpart while trump stressed the need to now improve relations with moscow. president i have continued to have contacts over the last few months we've spoken on the phone and met a couple of times during international events but the time has come to have a silly talk about bilateral relations and sore spots in the world. you have not been getting along very well for the last number of years taking here not too long but it's getting close to you but i think the moon defending. it been saying and
9:53 am
i'm sure you've heard on t.v. and there's a campaign that is getting along with russia is a good thing that is. before the talks even started president putin and trump shook hands twice the first came when they met in helsinki and the second would happen in front of the media before the start of the talks we do and it's an issue that's already sent media in took him. into.
9:54 am
tears unlikely that the president will confront putin is going to convey to putin that he's weak. from what is now our american perspective to see earned a face to face both scale bilateral meeting with the u.s. president. the president's trip abroad will also include a meeting with russian president vladimir putin who works with the leaders of these two countries to be going to hear someone say this is a bad idea when he goes most nato conference who he represents we represent the united states or we represent moscow the former k.g.b. colonel in the kremlin could be doing some important intelligence gathering on his american. people here are terrified the best case scenario is a scenario where basically nothing terrible happens tomorrow and the days ahead of the summit some media outlets work themselves up into
9:55 am
a state of sheer panic claiming that donald trump could be a russian agent killed off and takes a closer look. the helsinki summit is no ordinary meeting it's a vast conspiracy against america and the entire free world at least that's what you think by watching some of the channels we're getting played by our president and certainly we getting played by putin you're saying that russia's handling of the little boy is an asset that's that seems to be the that's the appearance to me the worst case scenario for compression collusion but don't trump as many russian intelligence asset since one thousand nine hundred so the president of the united states is actually an agent of the russian government that's quite a dramatic claim to make and it's all over us airwaves here's the lady who made it popular putin rather have a puppet as president in a day no it looks like the american people didn't exactly buy this claim at the voting booth however long after trump took the oath the allegations are still with
9:56 am
us the thoughts are connecting russia assault the criminal clan polluted with a foreign government just could really leave a stain on his legacy we are already on the precipice of losing book breed him and independence but they should so if trump is actually a russian agent then anyone could be working for the kremlin apparently a number of americans are part of this sinister russian plot including those who support the second amendment now it's emerging that the n.r.a. may have been under the influence of russia those who don't want nato to expand if there's objection. you are cheating you're just a flat or maybe a rapper or a journalist writing about the clinton foundation and don't forget hillary clinton herself everyone is colu doing with russia you go the him re campaign you've got the d.n.c. you've got the f.b.i. during the cold war us authorities gave instructions about how to identify those
9:57 am
who might have a soft spot for the kremlin overlords these instructions wouldn't look too out of place today. recognizing a brush and asset visible appearance counts for nothing if he openly declares himself to be in total looting with russia we take his word for it if a person defends the activity of the prussia while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policy of the united states she may be under the influence of russia my goodness such plotting and intrigue beneath the surface quite an atmosphere for two world leaders to be meeting but r.t. new york. nearly two weeks ahead of today's summit a delegation of u.s. republican senators visited moscow meeting the russian colleagues in a bid to improve souring relations judging by what they said in moscow everything went pretty well though the senators changed tack traumatically when they went back home. and. this is the beginning of
9:58 am
a dialogue. on the screen really really. senator shelby told the head of the russian parliament today i'm not here today to accuse russia of this or that or so for if we're serious striving for a better relationship. what's going on for. the foreign minister he's a book smart i ask that it's all about putin mafia it's all about money and power dealing with putin is like hand-feeding ashore. this is what i said number one shop screwing with american elections and. our
9:59 am
friends in russia not to interfere in our election stop screwing around in syria i asked for their help. did you really say stop throwing the election you really saw the foreign minister yes this is the beginning of a. so we'll see. what you say no you understand you're sitting down with it enemy of the united states and in a media democracy the problem is that we have a president that states unwilling to confront our enemies on our adversaries this is exactly what you should not go to this meeting with putin but you need to cancel the. helsinki summit. for more on this i'm joined live in the studio by the host of parties worlds apart thank you so much for joining us again so we now know that the one on one meeting has finished and it went about just over two
10:00 am
hours which was more than what was scheduled and they were already running late what do you think that says about the meeting it was more than the kremlin initially a lot of for i mean according to the initial comments carol but we for example got . time right at this time mr trump and his wife melania were supposed to be living for the airport apparently they just went into their second meeting them more broader four months. i guess suggests that they had. plenty to talk about then the parent really follow the atmosphere that they were poor that they created between them quite conducive to those discussions and we've already heard that after their one on one meeting trump came out saying that i think it's a good start a very very good start for everybody if so should we be encouraged by those sort of comments they are pretty reserved for trump at least while i mean depending on the sofa what do you think means in his case i mean here.
