5:35 pm
friendly. you know we just track you and film you as you drive as you ride the bike. together the choice we're headed to the crime scene where everything happened choi tells us about that night how he was riding his bike around midnight suddenly flashed by the search lights of 2 police cars and then in the rude manner asked by officer mark mcdonough to show him his id . i called i know i was still writing up when the 1st 2 squads what was your question to them what's going on are they interested in me and if they're not interested in me and you know i'd appreciate if they you know didn't act like they were receiving part. of the navy ideas. my breaking the law for you few months maybe a year. why you're here and following me. every time i'd ask him
5:36 pm
a question you'd respond with the same question what's your name or what's your name criteria. any wonder if you have a favorite literally maybe a 2nd or 2 after that is it actually so it's going to go i want to put handcuffs on you and you're going to go in the back of my squad car so at that point i'm like i'm getting arrested like what am i being arrested for and they respond for me enough. serious or do you figure out why my general rested. this year they. might excuse me and then at that point. he just pushes me down and i. fell on the side and then he just jumped on me so i get drug rate to the side of the rear right wheel well the squad car he starts taking away my head and hitting it against the wheel well the tire you know the metal i tell. you haven't i didn't know. what you
5:37 pm
did. earlier they know that. i went to school. ironically many many moons ago while many trips around the sun. that's the that's a twist in the story ok in virtually all police officers will only be friend other police officers they really don't have many just usual civilian friends it's just their little world that they establish and as i said before it's they developed us against them routine she's got sixteen's that they recently obtained them from the u.s. military for what. was your question when we investigated everything coon rapids exactly a small minnesota suburb they think that they need to be armed like they're in vietnam or something. police services still constant risk for the officer.
5:38 pm
the man in the white shirt with his back towards the camera is an ex police officer he's the only one from the other side who has agreed to speak to us on the condition that his identity remains hidden how long have you served 25 years 25 years as a police officer never had to shoot someone no. we draw our guns frequently. people usually do the right thing and surrender and. you never hear about it at all. the standard issue that most departments are using a glock varies in caliber size of the bullet they are 15 so does this fire automatically or you know. different standards some have just the single action some have 3 round burst and some have full auto why does the police in this
5:39 pm
case the coon rapids a small town police precinct needs a ar 15 rifles better to have a tool not needed the needed tool not have it. what the rifle phenomena was caused by is the l.a. robbery probably 20 years ago where the bad guys weren't wearing kevlar suits basically and they had rifles. we rule to fall and in order for you to use deadly force you have to meet. the requirements to use that force if you use excessive force that's when you get in trouble you get sued you go to jail if you feel that officers like that ruin it for you in the image of the police in the united states in general we have 50 states you can probably find at least one bad thing that happens in every state but then when you start running those stories day
5:40 pm
5:41 pm
is a group like them every hour. all right alan kohler there's a lot of you know that our prosperity which digs up a convenience for the government in which you're right speak for the concord workers who ultimately characters. there are up. for. our current round her mother and her family. her arm and her. car. and then we are at the post board of minneapolis. we are about to meet with the communities united against police brutality. no other mother should have to be told
5:42 pm
at any time death may not be for the holiday that her son has been murdered that he was not armed and what every was it does not take 5 officers time simultaneously tasing a young man and wonder if he's going to die on that english domania and use a taser here there's a taser here is a taser here i had to look at those burns on my baby's body now and the protocol that stalled christie was murdered and it was not his fault i am 66 years old. maybe all of the most of you like you try to imagine raising a baby back to the daycare the diapers and trying to do a job and maintain your household and a student when my taxes go is not up to me and you help telling me that my son is the criminal. you have a complaint for if you let people think that something will happen but it never does my understanding was an adage in bloom i may finish yes i'm finished as i've been very gracious i've given you more than the time that was on the agenda because
5:43 pm
because you have folks that are out here to speak i want them to speak that's why we have an open forum at the beginning of the bid and we did respond to your request for data we provided considerable amount of data i know they didn't investigate because in our 300 page complaint there's witnesses listed it's not a single one was ever called so how do you investigate and you'll follow investigation if you don't talk to everyone it's listed. so like i said i i am appealing to you because this is dramatically impacted my family in a negative way for minimum 10 years actually this is shameful the fact that people are here and i'm sitting here listening to a white man who 15 year has not gotten justice well but i expect to see you turn your back on your own. people. that's. going to.

5:46 pm
they're still going to. happen here where our. mass media is implicit in the propaganda of demonizing black male you and black people across this country among the protesters i spotted quentin tarantino a world famous filmmaker of film such skill build reservoir dogs pulp fiction i guess he decided that reality is a times more gruesome than his films were in your idea is this the issue that is being dealt with in the north country police brutality or is this something that is not that is not being dealt with the right way now is i'm being dealt with in any way at all as far as i can see that's why we're out here you know who is being dealt with and then these murdering cops would be in jail or believe space and try and write here but that's not that's not what's going on so my whole thing is i actually think that there is a corruption inside of the police but i think it would sure if.
5:47 pm
you are born of this protest against b.p. . then why do you make such. a public i got nothing that you wouldn't have got nothing to do and nothing. this thing involves people all kinds of people. from someone as great. as mr jenner to. simplify absolutely simple are also fighting because because they want to succeed i want to. play a little. if anything. please r.t. they are trained to be aggressive as any life force and proud person but you know person what it is like our love myself none of them don't have family members i don't know my friend is either in jail you know or has been brutalized by me. what

5:49 pm
magnitude of this process should shock me came clear the killing of people in the streets of american cities isn't a tragic accident the disney for the system that does the system the new system of law enforcement in american communities. remembering the past is not something the victims' families like to do and it's difficult to believe those horrible moments exceptions were made for our crew many mothers hope to bring to light these atrocities will help them finally see justice . looking after she says the cell. tension for 7 hours. with the door. or you thanks so much for finding time to meet us and i'm sorry to bring you back to that they.
5:50 pm

5:51 pm
conditions as you know were there as well. but she was why shouldn't take a pill every day for the rest of life. and she never had that went down to put the hospital they will let me see my daughter usually when a person dies or drug that you both be able to see your relative think of no pill i now have the opportunity. they told me you do it in the more they concluded. so. they waited about 20 more minutes back and forth corwin call and call it fear of ok for me to see my daughter because we're going to investigate. so they were basically cover no covering up their negligence yes providing help yes. my doula belts my. man down the way like i said before bill once they killed mine do the rest until justice is served and they'll do it
5:52 pm
again this is michael michael all the money all of that to go to this i mean you know not it's feels. nobody knows how it feels. he writes in bronx one of the more turbulent neighborhoods in new york city inside a local barber shop which also happens to be a spot for local people can't get enough of their local police brutality complaints and for the cameras. to stand along with nasties like this and i'm like take a picture brother don't last long and then when i got past pay the man i noticed i had to stop him and when i'm home now no business around his own gun oh wait this. i'm like i don't have the weather sorry you want to have a gun no i don't have guns are all this to stop me from going on i have got to go about your business and it's a doing your job and not your fish i'm actually afraid to call. for one more call
5:53 pm
in the political. be back. so you don't feel safe in your community or protected by the police well you don't feel protected by. just a place they respond. because we don't know because. because they feel like we are not educated enough to know that they feel that wait wait wait you're not going to tell me actually which that's my fright. say so now if you're going to rest me for my right not to fight. i mean. scott is one of the most well known lawyers finance police
5:54 pm
brutality in new york. mr how many cases in general have you. solved and had a positive outcome for your clients the thousands of police brutality has to be in the high hundreds or thousands i think police brutality is a real issue in this country i have a number of cases where people were injured very badly in police chase cases and when you speak to a police officer and question them about the training they receive in the cademy they will tell you they're never in a real situation that's a very good point but with this case the question is did the officer have the right to do what he did let's watch when it's about a couple more minutes here. and i got no problem with. this who kicks the phone out of his
5:55 pm
hand. there were shots. actually more but i think a lot of this issue escalated because obviously officers don't like when people talk back to them or don't like when people don't comply with their the man's i think in this situation no is different in somebody's others because this officer obviously wasn't threatened by any imminent. we can stop this announced civil war between communities and the police the lawyer goes on to say simple u.s. citizen so he powerful weapon and it's not a gun korey rifle smartphone. there's no question in my 26 years of practicing i've seen the number of police brutality cases rise i've seen the number of charges rise and i think the only reason it's really coming to the forefront is the invention of the cell phone if it wasn't
5:56 pm
a cell phone camera people wouldn't believe half of the things that go on and we have these videos to prove it. is a survey says this is a class issue or is this even just in the for terry so all these things racism authoritarianism inequality class inequality class issues right psychological issues all of that is thrown into this pot it's called police brutality that's why you do your best for you with regard to your own ability and transparency if you're never you. never have never ever.
5:57 pm
in 2008 there was the global financial crisis and the solution was not to reform the banking system to stop the crisis from repeating again the solution was here's a bigger credit line to the worst banks in america to do the same thing but much worse and we said we predicted within 10 to 12 years there would be a repeat of the 2008 crisis but much bigger a much bigger scale something saqlain what's happening in. america was never great was founded on the rates in the murder. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with.
5:58 pm
people get sad every day people kill each other blacks are killing children. so it was just no way that people were going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. 54 droughts and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason
5:59 pm
for any type. of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. that's geysers financial survival guide liquid said that you can convert is it is quite easily. to keep in mind as to take me into places. where.
6:00 pm
greetings and salutations. i tell you my friends here in washington d.c. you can feel you can feel the fear on the street palpable it says junior humidity in august but this fear of my friends isn't coming from the thousands of protesters that have descended on the mashable mall or lafayette square or the d.c. residents navigating both the covert 19 pandemic and the black lives matter protests no no this tidal wave of fear is emanating from the marble halls of the capitol building and.
