in new york. today we're seeing members of the community and and one of the most touching moments i believe was when came up with a sign and a police officer son said, jayden, your father did nothing wrong and she was having trouble taking the message and it's indicative of the mood here. people are peaceful, respectful and there's no kind of tension that we've been seeing in new york city, wolf. >> that's the scene here. ismaaiyl brinsley drove up from baltimore and announced that he was going to kill two cops and he went ahead and did so. we're standing by. the mayor of new york has a lot of repair to do. we're going to hear from mayor bill de blasio as soon as we come back. i have the worst cold with this runny nose. i better take something. dayquill cold and flu doesn't treat your runny nose. seriously? alka-seltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. oh, what a relief it is. >>> there's real tension in new york right now, tension between the mayor and the

it was not invented in new york, but it is very associated with new york. i left out the knish, the egg cream, the empanada, and various versions of things like that. i did include as author's prerogative the black-and-white cookie, because i happen to like the black-and-white cookie. [laughter] molly o'neill of the new york times said, and i dispute her -- she said there is no such thing as a delicious black-and-white cookie. she said they are either edible or inedible. well, i happen to like them, and i think they are also symbolic. there is a seinfeld episode of the black-and-white cookie. and even president obama they are emblematic of unity. of course, it depends which side of the cookie you eat first that says a lot about you. i thought they were worth including. and i could put one on my expense account. >> may i add something to this remark about the black-and-white cookie? i grew up in germany, and we could buy these in germany, and they were called americans. >> they are called americans in germany. yes. they are called amerikaners, i believe. i t

in your sense has new york--how has new york dealt with these things? >> new york has dealt with them at times, and dealt with them terribly at other times. it's gotten better under bill de blasio and bill brattan. they've made an effort to stop this practice of stop and frisk, where young men predominantly of color are stopped on the street and asked to prove that they're not carrying weapons. they've identified the issue. they've talked a lot about it. does this change a situation like this. everyone has seen the videotape, and it's a powerful videotape. >> as you pointed out there were many people who expected that there would have been an indictment. >> this is not a picture of stop and frisk. tell me about this. >> there are these stops. it is a police tool that ray kelly, the previous police commissioner was fond of because they felt it was a crime prevention tool. but when you look at the numbers, overwhelmingly the people stopped were not white. that's when people said wait a minute, you're not stopping young white men. you're stopping young bla

. >> two of new york's finest gunned down. today more on the plan police say pulled the trigger and could this deadly ambush have been prevented? >>> also breaking today, north korea ups the ante claiming the u.s. government was involved in making that movie "the interview." and threatening an even worse cyber attack. >> how are you? >> and an exclusive interview with president obama. nothing is off limits. how will the white house respond to north korea's escalating threats? hear it all right now. you're in the cnn newsroom. >>> hello, everyone. i'm randy kay. we begin this hour in new york. a stunning ambush in broad daylight. two police officers murdered, shot and killed in their police cruiser. new york police are expected to hold a news conference in about an hour or so. at 4:00 p.m. eastern time we will bring that to you live. it comes after i aday of shock for new york. newspapers calling it an execution, and tennings are mounting between police and the city's leadership. we are covering every angle of this story, inclu

he's the mayor of the city of new york. brian yins had been follows the story since it broke yesterday and he's in the new york city newsroom. i want to talk to you while we're waiting for the news conference to start. i just had on earlier detective gil alba, a former nypd detective with a major case squad. when i asked him about his major concern considering the current atmosphere, he said that they have to come together. they meaning the police and the mayor of new york city. that they have to mend this very testy relationship that is currently happening. and brian, as you know, the mayor appeared and did many of the officers as the mayor was walking out of the building, many of the officers turned their backs on the mayor to show their disappointment, their disapproval, saying that the mayor threw them under the bus. we're showing that video to you here now, and again, this is a very tense situation. and tell me more about what you're hearing because there's new information that was just recorded on the 3:30 news cast t

also in new york city, protesters are on the move in new york.long with them. brooke, where do they seem to be heading? >> reporter: wolf, let me just walk backwards a little bit. i don't want to trip, so i'm going to go slowly. we have just left foley square in the midst of hundreds of people, many of whom walking with their hands up. you're hearing, hands up, don't shoot. you're hearing, i can't breathe. it appears we're talking towards the brooklyn bridge. so we're just now passing new york police headquarters. we thought initially that we would stop here. we thought initially perhaps the crowd would stop, but everyone is continuing ahead. we're deducing, in talking to some people, we may be headed to the brooklyn bridge. the question will be, do they walk along the passenger walkway or try to stop traffic and getting in the middle of the roadway? we don't know. but as far as you can see in both directions, let's keep walking. as far as you can see in each direction, people are out here. no justice, no peace. primarily, of course, in response

some say like never been new york's finest is at odds with new york's leader and at the absolute worse time. two of their officers were "assassinated" video of mayor de blasio visiting the explain officers' home just came into us at cnn. now all officers are on alert for further attacks. at least 15 new threats against nypd known at this time. and nationwide protests continue against police violence. a demonstration outside of the department of justice in washington is hours away. there's no question a disturbed cop hating gunman named ismaaiyl brinsley killed these two men. he's seen here from facebook. brinsley made a newlywed bride a widow. officer wenjian liu just married a few months ago. brinsley took a father away from his two sons. you'll hear from ramos' youngest son shortly. we'll dedicate time to these officers but leaders also blame the deaths on mayor de blasio. they say he turned his back on his force under fire for the choke hold killing of eric garner. some officers in a show of rejection and disrespect turned around, turned their backs on the mayor at the hospital over

in new york city. there similar problems? you monitor this all over the country elsewhere. >> absolutely. whether you're talking about ohio, missouri, atlanta, georgia, chicago, illinois, los angeles, california, it's a problem regardless of where you go in the country and it has to be fixed nationwide. >> take a look at this, this is boston, massachusetts. these are live pictures coming in from our affiliate there. you see what's called a die-in, people just lying on the ground to protest what's going on, not a sit-in, but a die-in. you've seen these before. we saw some in washington and in new york yesterday. what do you think about all these protests? >> it's so important. what it shows when we look at those demonstrating, the diversity of people demanding change in our country. they're raising the issue of making sure the proper attention is brought to it so finally we can bring some solutions. don't forget, this is not a problem that started with ferguson. this is a problem that's been going on fo

he will come to new york where he had an affiliate and a lot of girlfriends in new york. when they create a spin off called rca that turned the company from ship to shore communications. he said let's do this. how about creating an entertainment box. out of it will come news and spores and all that and we will put it in the living room. they thought he was crazy. five years later they did it. they move rca head for thes from downtown. it was created up near broadway. here's where the entertainment is. here's where bing crosby is. his lifelong rival was there. he is a self-meat guy, but now that the family started in ukraine, but by the time they moved from chicago, he went to the school and his he dated new jewish girls. the battle for supremacy and radio, television, and then color television. it's he who links them fairly and permanently to advertising. somebody wrote him a letter and say i am getting this sbrat entertainment and music. who do i pay? so nobody is paid for by advertising. he hooks up. in 1928, he signs up washington, d.c.'s duke elling who had been playi

celebrating holidays in new york city. this is we prayed for the city there would have to be a lot of reflection and coming together as a community and as a city the way that we have done it before after 9/11. [ speaking spanish ] >> i want to go back to that question. we have got a boat load of ministers who want to sit down and have the right conversations. you can't just meet with one person and assume that that person speaks for everybody in our city. >> if you guys want to come forward. >> we are praying today that dignity might prevail. we pray for them and all families affected that especially in this time when many of us believe that god took the first step to send his son into the world as a baby that we who are so vulnerable might find peace. we pray that you would extend to us the hand of peace at the time. in a time when we are all under such pressure when we are feeling so terribly divided. when we are fractured among ourselves. we pray for the families of those who are victimized. for the ramos and liu family

a grand jury in new york city has decided not to charge a white new york city police officer in the death of an unarmed african-american man. cell phone video captured this incident and garner died after saying repeatedly i can't breathe. tensions are high in new york in the aftermath of the grand jury's decision this afternoon. we've just learned that the nypd just requested that all police officers be removed from non-essential court appearances for the next couple of days. joe johns joins us from the district attorney's office in staten island. joe, what is the nypd doing to mobilize ahead of any potential protests to make sure that we don't see in any of new york's five boroughs what we saw in ferguson last week? >> right now the focus is on potential protests. when i got here to this location there was one guy in a store talking about the need to demonstrate over this issue and we didn't even have a decision from the grand jury at that stage. what the police are telling cnn is that they will mobilize and move officers around as demonstrations develop and there are officers, of course

i'm martin savage in new york. these are difficult days. right now in new york city, it's a somber day. two officers were gunned down in the line of duty. we are waiting for what's going to be a candlelight vigil for the officers raphael ramos and wenjin lui. earlier today at that same spot, the new york city police commissioner william bratton laid a breathe where police say a man approached an nypd patrol car from the rear and fired into the window fatally wounding both officers. the secretary of homeland security was there with the police commissioner. >> this has got to be every cop's worst nightmare. we've all got to show support for the law enforcement, and this is a tough day for the nypd. and that's why i'm here to show support for the men and women of the new york city police department today. >> the short time ago, family members and friends of one of the slain policemen, officer raphael ramos appeared at the vigil site. >> i hope and pray that we can reflect on this tragic loss of lives that have occurred so we can move forward a

forget about the idea of everybody being welcome here in new york city.this will be a city only for rich people. >> at its root, this is about some luxury dwelling places for a relative handful of people, many of whom don't even live in this country, and they're impacting a park used by 40 million people from around the world every year. that seems to me out of whack so we're going to make noise until we get somewhere. >> the internationalization of new york once meant something actually kind of exotic and exciting and enhanced our diversity. today, internationalization at least on west 57th street and east 57th street and all around midtown manhattan seems to symbolize not diversity but a kind of exclusivity and an end to the sense that we're all in it together, which is the key urban idea. we all meet each other on the sidewalk. we all meet each other in public places. and the urban environment is the common ground that we all share. >> tell us if you've seen some of these forces eroding the common ground where you live. perhaps like some of the people

policing in the city of new york. upon the governor of the state of new york, governor cuomo, to appoint a special prosecutor in cases of egregious police misconduct. so there is an independent prosecutor. local prosecutors rely on the police department for their re-elections. we know there's an inherent conflict with police officers. that's why we need an independent special prosecutor to prosecute cases of police misconduct. last but not least in new york state we need sunshine particularly as it relates to the grand jury proceeding. i'm asking district attorney donovan to release not part, not some but all the grand jury proceedings in this case so the garner family will know why they did not get an indictment. america will not know why we did not get an indictment. because we all saw the video. the video did not lie. our eyes did not lie and the video speaks for itself. it was unreasonable. it was excessive force. just is not perfect. just will be served either on the federal level, in a civil level or in some for

then he drove to new york or was driven to new york, maybe went on a bus, but he got to new york.he baltimore police, they were trying to get some information to the nypd. you're getting new information on how this unfolded. >> right. this was a frantic effort, wolf. about 2:00 in the afternoon, 2:10 is when the baltimore county police department realizes that he's in brooklyn, and they want to make sure that the precinct up there is aware of this. they have a 30-minute conversation, the detective from baltimore is having a conversation with the new york detectives to describe what's on these instagram threats and to make sure they can get this information out to the officers. he sends a fax with a wanted poster of the suspect, brinsley. less than two minutes later, these officers were dead. it's not clear whether this information could have gotten to the officers in time. >> that was the best technology they had, a fax machine if >> it is a fair criticism of that. the nypd says they're trying to install new ipads and smartphones, giving each officer this technology so that they c

. >> new york says no to fracking. new york becomes the first state in the nation to ban the controversial drilling practice due to health concerns. >> the potential risks are too great. in fact, they are not even fully known. relying upon the limited data publicly available to answer the health risks would be negligent on my part. i have identified significant health risks in the current data. >> could push administration that bush administration officials be tried? they are being accused of war crimes. a man was held in afghanistan as a -- at a secret cia prison. and the a blindfold door was closed. i was hit from all sides. i was humiliated. >> all of that and more coming up. >> welcome to --this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. top u.s. general in charge of forces fighting the islamic state in iraq and syria says it would take a minimum of three years to reach a turning point against the group. speaking to reporters, the lieutenant general james terry refuse to give a

commissioner of new york.pite the no indictment by the grand jury, jason, they concede that changes need to be made within the police department. >> yeah. >> in new york, right? >> yeah. absolutely. and in terms of retraining the officers and in terms of how they deal with physical situations, so that is one of the things that they're going to be talking about. also, just readdressing the idea of dealing with excessive force and the policies on how they use force. so there is this acknowledgement that some retraining needs to be done, but that doesn't mean that the police commissioner is not still standing by his officers. >> once we see mayor bill de blasio and the police commissioner bill bratton we'll have live coverage later this hour of their remarks. they're taking questions from reporters as well. jason, thank you. >>> eric garner's mother says she's pleased that the protests have been peaceful. she says she's hopeful the justice department's investigation into her son's death will be productive. >> i'm

we're going back to the streets of new york city. but first, why is no one demanding justice for the victims in last week's ferguson protests? what about the store owners whose businesses were destroyed? michael brown's family attorney darryl parks will be here to answer that very question and much more. his reaction to the grand jury verdict in new york and much more tonight on "hannity." ame's, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doc

you're looking live at new york city. in mourning right now after the assassination of two police officers, shot point blank by a man who officials say traveled to this city expressly to kill cops. breaking news tonight, the shooter's mother and sister offer condolences to the officers' families and ask what he was doing out on the streets in the first place. listen to what they said to our affiliate wcbs. >> they kept releasing him. >> yeah. >> into the streets. >> so isn't that a problem that the justice system should be asking? not us. >> now a war of words breaks out over who's to blame. in an extraordinary scene police officers literally turning their banks on mayor bill de blasio. meanwhile, de blasio calls the attack on police an attack on the city as a whole and calls for a moratorium on anti-police protests. but is this a police problem, a discrimination problem, or is it both? tonight we're going to talk to people on all sides of this, including the former commissioner, who says he has never seen anti-police att

you hear what he says this hour. >> two new york city police officers were gunned down in new york ins now dead. >> this investigation is kicking into full gear. it is focusing on threats made online. police say suspect ismaaiyl brinsley shot himself at a subway station after cops chased him. there. >> minutes earlier, he ambushed police officers wenjin liu and ralphael ramos as they sat in their squad car. shot both men in the head. a alex an dra field has the storey. >> reporter: hundreds of police officers united in grief for the assault two of their own. >> two of new york's finest were shot and killed with no warning, no provication. they were quite simply assassinated. >> reporter: with those words, a visibly shaken new york police commissioner alongside new york's mayor talking about the deaths of officer ramos and officer liu. liu, a seven year veteran married two months ago. ram ramos, a two year veteran turned 40 this month, married with a 13-year-old son. they were killed ambush style saturday afternoon as they sat in their patrol car on a brooklyn street. >> the suspect wa

this is a traditional thing in new york. new york woe practice free speech.ry single new yorker is hurt by this. >> scottie nell, in new york, you can do that, can you can get a permit to do that i don't think these people are getting permits to shut down these streets and frankly the bridges and tunnels which could be dangerous. >> you are completely correct, eric it is getting dangerous. here is the question. silence in this case is just as convicting as those that are speaking out. you don't hear the people like al sharpton or jesse jackson sitting there saying hey, guys we want these people protest. don't do any acts of violence against police. they are not sitting encouraging their people to not do slanders and chants. remember, tea parties. >> commission bratton himself who is arguably the most successful commissioner of all of time in america. he reformed the police department in los angeles twice after the protest there he reformed the boston police department and now he is reforming the new york police department. he has supported the mayor in callin

he appears to move around and got a girlfriend in baltimore and comes to new york to murder two new yorkice officers and had some connectivity to brooklyn. but i will not go into that. we are trying to put together his movements and where he has been over the last months and days. >> excuse me, one at a time, please. [inaudible question] >> we have no sense at this time that there is any connectivity to terrorist groups, an act of terrorism. we see nothing of that nature at this particular time. they are trying to learn as much as we can about this individual. >> are there others like him? >> we are concerned about that. you may recall after four young officers were attacked by an individual with a hatchet, our investigation indicated that was an act of terrorism and that individual was inspired to commit that act by continual canvassing of website and particularly websites increasingly over the last couple of weeks of his life. and we put out notices similar to what the federal government is putting out about the growing lone wolf attacks and encourage our officers to work in pairs and

>> it's an important issue for new york. these people really care about feeling safe and not feeling overburden oed and overpowered this police force. this generation is mobilizing finally. >> we are now officially on the brooklyn bridge. we started at foley square half an hour ago. i appreciate you all let mting walk with you. one of the big questions asked on our air is do you think there are two separate justice systems in this country? >> absolutely. it makes no sense. my mom, an officer approached her and checked her i.d. and almost gave her a ticket for having both her license and permit with her. what can we do? what's the point? nothing really matters. >> there are incredible members of our law enforcement in this country as well. one of the colder nights in new york so far. i've been impressed with the crowd size to be honest. >> it's getting colder. we'll be here until really late. >> we're in the middle of atlantic avenue in the middle of brooklyn. i'm staring at the barkley center. you are staring at dozens of pe

new york's finest is at odds with new york's leader and at the worst time two of their own officers wenjian liu and rafael ramos were assassinated over the weekend. a news conference is set to begin in a couple minutes here in new york at police headquarters. we'll watch for new york's mayor and police commissioner to obviously address the atrocities over the weekend and the response. today we have heard from mayor bill de blasio after visiting the homes of the loved ones of the two slain officers and now all of these officers are on alert for further attacks. at least 15 new threats against nypd are known at this point in time. there's no question this disturbed mentally ill cop hating gunman ismaaiyl brinsley killed these two men pointblank. we have a picture of him from facebook. he made a newlywed bride a widow in brooklyn. officer wenjian liu just married several months ago. brinsley also took a father away from his family. officer ramos had two sons. the new york police union leaders are also pointing fingers and blaming the deaths on the mayor bill de blasio. they say he turned his b

he is the mayor of new york. he was there representing the citizens of new york. to express their remorse and regret at that death and it was inappropriate. at the same time it is reflective unfortunately of the feelings of some of our officers that at this juncture, not just the mayor but i think also many issues affecting this city at this time and this police department. >> garrett: thank you so much for joining us. i know you have enormous new year's eve to prepare for, wish you all the best of luck with that we thank you very much for that this morning. >> thank you. >> garrett: turn to the former mayor of new york, rudy guiliani who is also with us from new york. good morning. >> good morning major how are you? >> garrett: you said awhile ago the president obama contributed to rhetorical atmosphere of hating american police. and "washington post" fact checked you on that, i cover the president, i never detected anything that comes along the line of propaganda urging the public to hate police, do you want to recast that? >> i think you missed one very importa

new york republican congressman peter king. here is what he said yesterday on cnn regarding this case. >> you have 350 pound person who is resisting arrest, the police are trying to bring him down as quickly as possible. if he had not had asthma and a heart condition, and was so obese, most definitely he would not have died from this. the police had no reason to know he was in serious condition. people are saying he said 11 times or 7 times i can't breathe. fact is if you can't breathe, you can't talk. >> your response to that, congressman meeks? >> peter king was dead wrong. there has been medical testimony showing that when you talk, when you're being strangled, you can speak out, it is hard to get air back in, that's number one. he is dead wrong. you know what, what i would like to focus on are those individuals that were in the street last night in new york, they were black, they were white, they were hispanic, from all parts of the world who stood together. i was proud of the new york delegation when joe crowley and eliot
