3:05 am
that works on crime prevention in the city says it's because of low morale just one of the reasons behind similar mass resignations in fact across the country. now how. 7 do you know every now and then maybe we have to do we have to begin to look at whether or not an individual is so the bull for the job 1 of being a police officer because there's this great expectations from individuals who are police officer which spec them to do awful lot and if you can do it tell us and then that's fine i think what has happened is a given that the incidents that they've been involved in here and across the
3:06 am
country have now come to light. public everybody is noticing nice acts of violence death police officers on bob dylan and yet they get away with it there's no accountability no one is punished and so. it's about time the numbers add that we're getting rid of those individuals who really don't want to work and be say and provide. public safety to our community. over in seattle where there's an occupation protest in a police free zone the mayor there is announced that officers will only enter an urgent life threatening cases lives matter complainers have been holding the capitol hill organize protests known as chop for more than a week now moved in when police moved out of a precinct building and this video we're going to show you now has been circulating online showing a protest apparently handing out assault rifles to young people to minors that's
3:07 am
very much against the law in washington state. since he walks this through it again overnight claiming though that what he's seen at least the zone is mostly peaceful . this little community is already sprouting up in ways that some of us never even imagined the main focus now being a set of concrete pillars and pliers been set up in the streets by the city itself in order to help the protesters be established here. what is it like around here at night what exactly is going on let's go see what's happened.
3:08 am
in the past past few nights those hear the word feelings of exile the fear about what it's been is this group called the crowd boys 1st time goes by you get set up here there's more there's there's more people that the feeling of community in that feeling of safety is becoming a lot more prevalent we have got a facebook page we get a website i have donations from greece from jamaica all around the world we've been feeding people for 12 days and as long as this keeps going and we are funded we'll continue to feed these people and after this ends we're looking into continuing this that there's claims that it's just the summer of love and there's people. in crazy all over none of that is true there's no crime in the attitude during the night is the same as the day it's not just a summer of love it's noticeable already people are down here to protest this is the area where the city is actually brought down some concrete blocks that you can see near me and the black clouds not of protesters and everyone down here is actually set up some of these wooden blocks on top of the concrete where
3:09 am
everyone has just been creating are they say oh there are armed guards everywhere that's not true these are americans a lot of times they're expressing their 2nd amendment rights there are armed border guards there are people who watch the border to make sure that. you know we don't have anybody coming through things are bad and you drove 5 hours more we're going to be here tonight. why did you come away up here man well i came up here except the people of you need my support and i feel like we all need to rally like around a single cause so that way we can actually get some progress made you know police force across america has been a problem for. decades now it's time that we get mantle a lot of it because a lot of innocent family members are going away you know one ship may have been in prison it wasn't too long ago down here that people were there were riots the police for being violent there were rumors of white supremacists but more and more 'd as the days go on as you'll get more comfortable setting up here i think the
3:10 am
real message to tap and it becomes more and more obvious which is exactly what's behind me in this city we believe black lives matter no human being is a legal science is real and love is the way. all the developments of french has been released from police custody after video of her violence arrest you and choose days nationwide health care workers protests spot widespread anger she's still expected to appear in court in september though having been charged with rebellion and this is the moment the nurse whose name is free there was forcibly seized by. several riot officers the police said to be throwing projectiles up i'm afraid of those says she was left traumatized by the way she was treated riley was swiftly organized in a support covered up forests challenge she went along. the 50 year old nurse who was arrested during a health workers persia's someplace in paris on it seized by now she's been named as for rita and is said to be from the ad scourge of the city now it said she's
3:11 am
a health care professional for some 17 years and that she was taking part in those protests have taken place of course fronts to demand increased salaries most often a lot of money in general for a service that many been saying for a long time is on a knife said cheering from the videos on social media showed that the moment that she was arrested with offices charging towards her. there is a huge and go over the way that she was apprehended it said that for rita suffered a broken rib cuts to her face and she was seized by her head during that arrest now video also shows a calling for some sort of breathing device and she can't breathe your. daughter later took to twitter in defense of her mother who said she needed a ventilator because she's asked matic. this woman is my mother she's 50 years old
3:12 am
and nurse she worked for 3 months between 12 and 14 hours a day she had called 900 she was demonstrating so that your sorrow would be erased those who work would be recognized she is a smart she has her uniform on she is on the one meter 55 tall supporters feel free to say that this is the latest example of police brutality and they have had enough it is critical to say that if we find the conditions a far readers are grass scandalous there was no reason for her detention this really was a disproportionate use of force. to israel to israel the police always promote protesters and the police crackdown every time and now we have a few 2 year old woman even if she threw a stone this does not deserve being thrown to the ground system so i want to say yes it's sadly what happened was not the 1st time you see police threatening stopping people from trying to peacefully leave a demonstration under the pretense of wanting to isolate
3:13 am
a few individuals to end up terrorizing everyone there. they say for a reader who is it makes it being overcome with anger at the end of the demonstration crackdown that her reaction was normal given what's been destroyed by so many people here as provocations by the police during that protest. so other news this morning the theft of the cia's top secret hacking tools back in 26 states was labeled back then as the largest data loss in history and sore fingers being pointed at the usual suspects but after casting aspersions at other countries it turns out investigators should have been looking much closer to home is that the agency licking its wounds as our senior correspondent or goes to have explains. who could it have been who could have broken into cia servers leaked 34 terabytes of cia spyware and malware and explore its and back doors their hacking and spying
3:14 am
arsenal bag then every flavor of self professed expert claimed to know this was the work of a sophisticated team and it fits entirely into a pattern of behavior demonstrated by russia in the past as you might expect a lot of those cyber security experts couldn't tell of a hard drive from a cd player it wasn't russia it turns out it was an inside job a cia agent with a conscience something that the united states has been trying to stamp out for a while now he leaked 2200000000 pages of top secret information the biggest leak in u.s. government history. they need to do the security practices and become willfully lax we did not realize the loss that occurred until a year later when we can leaks publicly announced it in march 2 inch 17 and the data been stolen for the benefit of a state adversary and not published well meant still being aware of the loss there
3:15 am
sorry basically because of that leak the world learned that the cia was hacking well everything t.v.'s in living rooms the ones with cameras they have back doors to i phones meaning they could see everything on your phone without even apple knowing they had exploits and spyware and hags for windows for android if it be they could hack it and they did we know that u.s. agencies spied in bulk on the net traffic of the entire world never mind their own citizens but they're sorry although not why you think we fail to recognize who react in a coordinated fashion warning signs that a person or persons with access to see a classified information posed an acceptable risk to national security they aren't sorry for spying on and storing you or your private photos your messages or
3:16 am
activity they aren't sorry for turning the web into a giant big brother cam show no they're sorry one of their agents felt that this was wrong that what they're sorry for so it's going to be tougher security tougher background checks tougher psychological evaluations and in the meantime change the subject and shoot the messenger. it's time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia this is the kind of disclosure that undermines our country our security and our well being i think the u.s. government had a position on julia songes position in the past and i don't see anything that's changed that he's compromised in the past and undermine our national security and i think i'll leave it up to the department of justice to further comment on their disposition of him it is ironic isn't it the people charged with keeping america

international criminal court because it dared investigate the actions of u.s. troops in afghanistan but will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next the united states likes to think of itself as the policeman of the world and just like the police at home the united states isn't too excited about being in. expected to follow the same rules that it claims to go around the world in forcing the united states has always been the world's policeman. really trumping activity is that he was all instability and maybe other countries would have said interference but i think it's going to be very difficult for the united states from now on moving forward for you to be able to stand on the same ground to say gee we're not behaving properly or 54 countries across africa have made it absolutely clear speaking with one voice that this thing that the united states is
