12:40 pm
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 of different standards some have just the single action some have 3 round burst and some have full auto why does the police in this 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 follow and in order for you to use deadly force
12:41 pm
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 do 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 after day people think there is a huge amount yes it happens yes there are bad cops but we have to remember that 99 percent of the cops are good and doing the right thing in helping. us.
12:42 pm

12:43 pm
arm around her. are. 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 . 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 nagging us domania needs a taser here's a taser here is a taser here i had to look at those burns on my baby's body now the protocol this bald chrissy was murdered and it was not his fault i am 66 years old. maybe all of the most of you know you try to imagine raising a baby back to the daycare that diapers and trying to do
12:44 pm
a job and maintain your household and a student when my taxes go is not up to me to help tell 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 accident you may finish yes i finished as i've been very gracious i've given you more than the time that was on the agenda because 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 b.b. we did respond to your request for data we provided considerable amount of data i know they didn't investigate because in our $300.00 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 of 10 years actually this is shameful the fact that
12:45 pm
12:46 pm
tyson nation will community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or in may even the shallowness of. the world is driven by shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.
12:47 pm
know. what happened to me is. not. cool here i am in new york and i'm not alone this time i'm with troy came out here with us all the way from minnesota. to participate in the stop october. nationwide actually protest but suburbs over specifically new york protesting against police brutality. her time. this. happened here
12:48 pm
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 or 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 as 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 it was 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 was a culture is. that if. you are born of this protest against b.p.
12:49 pm
. then why do you make such. a public i got nothing to do with that i got nothing to do and nothing. this thing involves people all kinds of people. from someone as great. as this example to. simplify absolutely simplify are also fighting because because they want to succeed i want to. live a little. differently. please r.t. they are trained to be aggressive as any life force and proud person but you know person what it is like are like 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 the police what is this picture about this is not just my life but the cyber you still tell the california about this man it's not for you. loading 7 you
12:50 pm
go find. something. 2 good out of it. how to go through you come out of a small community like rapids in your city you know being a part of. a the marginal. people that are. in it seems that there is a theory here. the. magnitude of this process should shock me if you can clear the killing of people on the streets of american cities isn't
12:51 pm
a tragic accident it is nice for the system to desist the new system of law enforcement in american communities. remembering the past is not something the victims' families light 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. thanks to the release of the. filthy cell looking after she and i would like you so the cell baby might be for medical attention for 7 hours. with the door wow. or you thanks so much for finding time to meet us and i'm sorry to bring you back to that they did. he. tell you.
12:52 pm
everything but there you. go to work. oh yeah i need to gently touches the urn with cremated remains of her daughter and remembers how her khiam came home from a barbecue how 2 officers came shortly after to arrest her for being intoxicated in a public place however he just shows us the papers where the truck states that her daughter was completely alcohol free while being held sensual booking the police wouldn't give crime the medical attention for her health condition which evidently letter unfortunate death inside the brooklyn cell 2 of those came to my door and told me. to have a seizure but then they will think you know right. so it is better conditions always here with as well. but she was why should i take a pill every day for the resolute like. and she never went down to brooklyn
12:53 pm
hospital they will let me see my daughter you really want to bring guys or drug that you both be able to think you wrote that i think of know well i know. they told me you do it in the more they could. so. they waited about 20 more minutes back and forth calling calling calling fear of ok for me to see my daughter because we're going to investigate. so basically cover no covering up their net which is providing oh yes. my dear little bella my. they may have no way like i said before bill once they killed mine do the rest until justice is served and they'll do it again this is michael says michael all the money all of that to go to this i mean you know not it's feels.
12:54 pm
nobody knows how it feels. we've arrived in the bronx one of the more turbulent neighborhoods in new york city inside a local barber shop which also happens to be sponsored locals the people can't get enough of their local police brutality complaints and for the cameras. so they have to stand with national i do so and i take a picture brother to last longer and then when i got past paper man i noticed i had to stop him and when i'm home now i notice around him his own gun oh wait this. i'm like this i don't have the weapon sorry you wonder if i 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 i may say doing your job but not your fish i measure fruit. from fair 11 of the political will. be back. so you don't feel safe in
12:55 pm
your community or protected by the police while you don't feel protected by people who. just hate this they respond faith based on lack because we don't know the law or because they don't like because they feel like we are not educated enough to know the logs. 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. this is one of the most well known lawyers fighting against police brutality in new york. mr how many cases in general have you. solved and had a positive outcome for your clients thousands to south police brutality has to be in the high hundreds or thousands i think police brutality is
12:56 pm
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 then did let's watch one it's about couple more minutes here. and i got no problem with. this who kicks the phone out of his hand. generally the kid gets up. there are shots. actually more i think a lot of this issue escalated because. officers don't like when people talk back to
12:57 pm
them or don't like when people don't comply with their the mint'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 the sun now civil war between communities and the police the lawyer goes on to say simple us isn't 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 a cell phone camera people wouldn't believe half of the things that go on and we have these videos to prove that. this is a racist or is this a class issue or is this even just in the for terry so all these things racism
12:58 pm
12:59 pm
erbil was never great was founded on the rape and murder. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just people kill each other but to kill each other . so it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down. in. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with this is the reason i have to rat like this is the reason.
1:00 pm
