his office is right at the foot of the danziger bridge. you can literally throw a rock, and you hit it. so they took five hours one day to swim through the torment -- torrents of katrina to get to the brother's dental office which is where they were living. and this sunday morning, sunday, september 4, 2005, they were trying to get to the family home where they both grew up and ronald still lived. it was two miles away. they couldn't get there. so this morning they were walking back. they were depressed, they were beaten, they were beaten down by the misery of katrina a week later. they were walking back to go back to the dental office. as far as the bartholomew family, where they were and how they got there, they had also been chased from their apartment by the storm. they also broke the top of the house to go to the roof and waved for a helicopter that never came. they settled, ultimately, at a decrepit hotel room also off the danziger bridge. and this morning, the sunday morning, there were a group of six from this family; susan, the mo

you said loosely based on danziger bridge incident. >> i think we referenced danziger and i look because prosecution was ongoing, but actually, for most -- the way we dealt with that was to do -- we did a fictional shooting that was basically comprised of details from five or six different police shootings, either in the immediate aftermath of katrina -- there ublicalot of great propl reporting on the deaths in algiers. the police department was under great stress during the storm, was involved in any number of civil rights violations. amy: in out years, we were there and there was a dead body laying in the street, which we filmed. we tried to get every level of authority to come over -- we were right there and they were passing us on the street. >> data shooting of somebody in algiers -- they would not investigate their own shooting. publica reporting was astonishing. you're dealing with a police department with a long strip civil rights violations. i covered up police department in baltimore for about 15 years that has a long history of problems. the in opd as i encountered it, there w

madison, the brother of ronald madison who was killed on the danziger bridge. very much for being here, dr., and first of all, my condolences to your family. >> thank you, reverend sharpton. it's my pleasure being here. >> how are you and your family reacting to the news last week about the possible new trial for the officers? >> we're quite disturbed about it. i guess the other families that are involved also are upset about it. >> now, what do you remember from the days following the storm and from the day of the shooting? >> well, we got information in bits. i was told that my brother was arrested, lance, and we were trying to find out what was going on and what happened, and then later we find out that my brother ronald had been shot and killed. so we were very, very destroyed by that information. that small amount of information we did receive. we were out of touch with him for a few days after the storm started, and we were desperately trying to locate them. >> your brother lance was with ronald on the bridge. >> yes. >> and was actually arrested in the c

>> well, you can turn to the new trial the officers just got from the danziger bridge.a large segment of the community, white and black, that feels that the blogging, the inappropriate behavior of the prosecutors has only affected the case involving police officers who harm poor people. it does not affect any other case of any moment, although the prosecutors are doing inappropriate behavior in these other cases. so there's still certainly a disparity. the black lives matter movement, i believe katrina was ground zero for that, especially when you think about the fact that there were days when there was simply inaction from local government to national government. >> tracy, i want to bring you in here. you know, the councilman says katrina was ground zero, and you wrote in a piece this week about katrina in the "new york times." you wrote, given the endurining legacy of segregation in the united states, it is not surprising that millions of black families are forced to live in neighborhoods that are accessible to them precisely because these neighborhoods are at greates

. >> now a speech from a cybersecurity meeting posted by usenix the wheelchair from richard danzig.ne hour. >> good morning. i usually do this by memory. i tried to introduce the speaker but in the case of richard it's impossible. so i have my cheat sheet here at all tried to keep it very short. so richard danzig was a former secretary of the navy and the consultant to use intelligence and defense agencies, and a member of, korea member of defense policy board, the president's intelligence advisory board and homeland security secretary advisory council. that's not enough. that's not all. he's been a trusty of the rand corporation and director at the center for a new kind of insecurity, and they director of the european investment firm. in addition, he's recently been a director of the national semiconductor corporation which is listed in the new york stock exchange, and of the human genome sciences corporation which is listed on the nasdaq. and there's a few more things that i think we will be here for a while. richard last year wrote a very influential, a very thought-provoking rep

i was wondering in my reference to the last year or so, but this event on the danziger bridge referencedat all. have we already forgotten? >> that is a really good question. they played out. my best guess is for one, there were so many horrors, and a lot of it has been proven to be untrue. but there were so many stories. i used to live in south florida to live through andrew whenever katrina. .. >> i'm interested in the number of officers you were able to interview and how you gained their trust on such a difficult issue. >> well that was one of the challenging things in this case particularly after the judge overturned verdict and lawyers and families could not talk about this case because the the case may come back. i talked to other officers former officer spent 17 years an now as a lawyer for police to get a sense of the time of katrina, also i went to the sentencing of these officers where multitudes of police officers set up and spoke. normally excused the death on the bridge but so many of the officers said at this crazy chaotic time that could have been me. that was a theme that
