"breaking bad" won that category last year. bryan cranston is up for best actor. if he wins for a fourth time, that will be a tie for him for that fourth. and then also for best comedy, some interesting comedies. we have modern family, fifth year they're up for best comedy. they won four years before. orange is the new black is in the comedy category. and then what we're expecting to be a pretty emotional moment, tribute to robin williams are billy crystal. all eyes on seth meyers hosting the prime time emmys for the first time. he says he's excited about that. we're up in north hollywood today at the academy where all of those nominations, decisions on who is being nominated, those decisions have made that and now it's time to unveil the winners. and that is

in 1997 there was landmark incident in north hollywood, california. the bank of america was robbed by two bank robbers. they had assault weapons and the lapd were not prepared. there's a movie out called 44 minutes. it took 44-mile an hour to say neutralize and this led into a residential neighborhood where citizens were at harm. two years to later, we had columbine, where the police were not prepared to respond appropriately to that kind of attack. then, of course, we were just coming up for air and 9/11 occurred. you have the 1997 bank robbery in north hollywood, the 1999 columbine attack and then the 2001 terrorist attack. i think that's when police departments started to realize they need to be equipped. we like to think of ourselves, law enforcement as we're out there protecting the sheep from the wolves. most citizens in this country are god citizens, they go about their business and they don't think of other people at wolves. police officers, their job is to protect the people from these really bad people. >> you were in the marine corps. >> i
