what bothered me -- it was not only the people hitting rodney king -- but it was the other 19, 20 officers who stood around and did nothing. and allowed it to go on. that bothered me as much. and i was a police chief at the time. one of the things a new chief and parents is the department culture -- inherits is the department culture, which chief suhr is working with, whether you come from internally or externally. sometimes cultures change. what bothers me is when we see evidence like we saw, we can tell the numbers of officers who were allegedly involved in that and put that against the numbers of officers there are in this bay area region or nationally. but it makes good press. and so, what we do is -- including me -- we paid with that broad a brush. i understand what. it is perception, and truth is only 10% fat and 90% perception. -- fact and 90% perception. what do we do to prevent it? we start teaching what our expectations are in the academy. we reinforce those expectations, not just to the academy, but throughout every single daily -- every day, every hour, every minute. this is wh

and then in april of 1992, the results of the rodney king trial were announced. as a result of the result of the trial, we had the largest riot history. we had 300 people killed, 3000 people wounded. and we found ourselves, two days later, with the first win division in the seventh infantry division in los angeles to quell the riots. and we discovered that all the individual cities had their on police and fire departments, but none of them had communications that they could talk to each other. so we had to provide the interoperable communications. but we also had a huge a language pis when you tell a fireman fire, that is a different meaning than when you tell a marine fire. so the whole exchange of lexicon and working together, the importance of that, i said personally i would never liked this -- never like to see this kind of situation happen again. it really turns out that the military was actually put in charge of that operation. and i think it was not good for the relationships in the count of los angeles or anything else. so i said, never again. well, this

situation was more likely to devolve whereas in los angeles after you know the watts riots and the rodney king riots the police has really in the last ten years maybe more they have l.a.p.d. has instituted something called community policing which seeks to form that relationship where you're working together to keep your community safe and they believe in it they really do believe in it and so i think that they understand that there's so much at stake not just at this camp where people are in danger but also in the community at large if the l.a.p.d. begins to have a reputation like unfortunately the oakland police has today it makes it harder for them to solve crimes because who's going to want to report a crime or assistance solving a crime if you don't believe in the integrity of the police or their ability to apply the law equally to all communities is there is there an appropriate role for the police in with the in the occupy encampments for example. helping you know protect people out here or more have the have the occupy movements tried to police themselves to keep the police out so you

from hawaii, the politics of chill, let's just, can we all -- it's not martin luther king, it's rodney kingll get along? i think herman cain reinforces certain stereotypes of what that might mean. and i can't figure cain out. he says there's no longer any concern in this country about racism and racial intolerance and three weeks later because of the charges against him he's talking about being the victim of a high-tech lynching. which one is it? does race make a difference? does it not make a difference? i don't think he's been able to make up his mind. >> i think we've got a whole other program for that discussion. thank you all very much. enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend here in our waning hours. before we go, a programming note to wrap up the holiday weekend. check out our special thanksgiving press pass conversation with assistant white house chef and senior policy adviser for healthy food initiatives, the serious conversation, not just about stuffing, although we do address that. we went down to the white house kitchen last week, we talked about nutrition, healthy eating, and mic

just like the rodney king nudging. or when connor set up the slip and slide in birmingham. >> the university has yet to announce when the investigation will begin or if any officers will be disciplined. >>> san francisco occupiers took action today to bring attention to egypt. they march from the federal reserve building to show their support for the egyptian revolution. and to try to make a point that they face the same struggles. >>> occupy oakland occupiers received a request to leave but most are ignoring the eviction order. don knapp has more where it seems to be business as usual inside and outside city hall. >> if a pending police eviction is on the minds of campers, they are not showing much concern. in fact the mood i would say is pretty upbeat and maybe more upbeat than usual. >> here, you can understand a very emotional bay. on many front -- emotional day. on many fronts. some not knowing how to react from what they've heard and seen this week. mike mcqueary no longer on the staff, placed on administrative l
