carol. >> pamela brown reporting live.ational conversation surrounding sexual assault on campus has taken an ugly turn, become this he-said, she-said politically tinged fight. in her memoir, lena dunham wrote of a conservative man named barry who assaulted her in college. he resembles a man named barry who had actually nothing to do with the allegations. she's apologized, but others attacked her calling her narcissistic. redstate writes, quote, the idea that there is any risk involved in a woman reporting a sexual assault is simply bullshit on a biscuit. papers don't report the names of accusers. if there is any risk involved in today's sexual climate it attaches firmly to the man. dunham stands by her story and writes on buzzfeed, quote, survivors have the right to tell their stories, to take back control after the ultimate loss of control. there's no right way to survive rape and there's no right way to be a victim. what survivors need more than anything is to be supported, whether they choose to pursue a criminal invest

brown to find out more. good morning. >> good morning to you, carol.rned the fbi and dhs sent out a joint bulletin warning law enforcement agencies across the country that terrorists may want to exploit the torture memo findings as propaganda, perhaps use it as a recruiting tool. this bulletin points out in those brutal videos released by isis showing the beheadings of american and british hostages that the captives wore orange jump suits reminiscent of u.s. prisoners at the guantanamo bay detention facility. and the bulletin notes the findings could spark online reaction and eventually influence homegrown violent extremists. the concern is that even though the memo is unlikely to lead to violence in the near term, it could eventually inflame extr e extremists as it circulates on social media and picks up steam. so essentially give them justification for any actions they may do. now james comey, the director of the fbi, met with reporters in a round table session yesterday and he echoed that sentiment saying the concern in the fbi is whether this memo

. >> carol, the other thing, you have to look at cases individually. i don't think it's fair at all to compare the brownc garner case. i mean in brown, it's undisputed he had done what they call a strong arm robbery in the convenience store. it's undisputed he struck ld for the cop's gun, the gun discharged twice. it's undisputed that he punched the officer in the face. that's in the brown case. eric garner is very different. i didn't see him punching any police off sefrmts sers, i see a big angry man saying you're arresting me for selling cigarettes, i'm not going to put up with it anymore. he was taken down. there was no consideration given to the man when he stopped breathing. i think it's a very different case than the brown case. i think it's unfair when you throw them in the same basket and say this is an indication as to how police conducted themselves in america. you have to look at cases individually. >> paul callan, vanessa deluca, thank you so much. i appreciate it. i'll be right back. not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psor

carol, trust goes both ways. black people need to trust the police keeping their neighborhoods safe and i think trust is a two-way street and we aren't talking about what happened that night that michael browne that led to his tragic death. i will go back to what charles barkley said about policing, and i think that in this whole narrative, police have gotten a bad rap. i live in the nation's capital. i know when i call the police they're responsive and i thank god for them every day. they put their lives at risk and finally, charles barkley has just as much credibility, if not more, to talk about this issue, than somebody like reverend al sharpton. he always wins at the end of the day and the black people are left to pick up the pieces. l.z. and i have common ground and a lot of topics and disagree on some things, i think there's an ugly part of the black community that nobody wants to talk about, and i hope maybe the president's task force can get to that, but i'm not confident it will. reverend al sharpton shouldn't be anywhere near a task force. >> i have to agree with that. >> if i could quickly add, you know, there's this conversation of black on black crime and if you look at the fbi
