right now floral park road closed between dobson and south springfield.ok good. 50 before you hit 295 there top of the beltway a tiny bit slow but nothing major. 45 miles per hour headed into town on 66 as you head through fairfax. taking a look up on 270, this actually just turned red as we came out here. we'll figure out what's going on there. a little bit slow at 20 miles per hour. as you head out of frederick and down south again, crash 95 northbound at prince william parkway. going to try to get chopper 4 over that for you. back in a couple minutes. >> we are following an unfolding scene out of north jersey. these are live pictures from a chopper camera. there's a truck that's hanging over an overpass. as the camera moves in and out, you'll see the truck. there you see on your television screen emergency crews working on one injured person. just a short while ago we saw them hosing this man down. he didn't have on a lot of clothing. we're not exactly sure what they're dealing with whether this is a hazmat situation. there's a truck hanging over this

louis police chief sam dobson waded right into the middle l of that very heated crowd with the blazing sun out and people beginning to assemble and scream in anger and fr frustration and talked to the people face to face about what happened and that sing the gestu gesture defused the situation. alderman french was there, too, and would urge the crowd to stay calm. >> the last thing we need is violence in our neighborhood. listen. and that's not going to be -- that's not going to be on the police to make sure no violence in our neighborhood. that's going to be on us. >> that's right. >> no silliness over here. all right? >> understand, we know our rights. >> you know your rights. i know your rights, brother, too. i'm going to make sure this man's rights are exercised, too, and we're going to find out what happened. we're going to be patient in our neighborhood. >> we're going to fight hard. >> you got people that got your back over here. you ain't alone like they are in ferguson, you hear me? >> joining me now, msnbc.com national reporter trymaine lee. i thought that moment with antonio

louis police chief sam dobson said the officers acted appropriately. could you have done something else in the situation other than kill him? >> he brings up a very god point. what about why use bullets, why not use a stun gun? >> tasers aren't 100%. if the taser misses the subject continues on and hurts an officer. >> reporter: now i think, carol, we're at a little bit of a turning point in the story right now. i don't think it was just the storm last night. people are exhausted. these are long nights. kids aren't going to school, people aren't being able to do their jobs, stores aren't open, life isn't moving for a section of the community here in ferguson. one of them held up a sign, i think you have video of it, saying "go get isis, leave us alone." the story has needed attention. now it is coming down to not the media attention of what went wrong but what will make it right, the investigation and the leadership that's needed here, both within the community and the government, to make changes to the police and culture with the community so that the

but since that day, i've been unable to reach chief dobson by phone. i've called him a number of times. the latest time being today. he still has not returned my phone call. and on the day of this incident, he gave an erroneous account of what happened. we had the tape. everyone had seen the tape. he said that he described the incident as kajieme attacking the police officers with a gun up in the air. anyone who sees the tape knows kajieme hands remained at his waist side the entire time. >> you mean a knife? >> excuse me? >> you said a gun. you mean a knife? >> yeah, i do mean a knife. if he had a knife, after viewing the tape, and i viewed this tape at least about 50 times, don, i don't see a knife. however, i do hear the police officers telling him to put a knife down. so even if he had a knife and it was cuffed and they could barely see this knife, i hardly believe these police officers could have felt threatened by kajieme. >> so lack of transparency, you believe. have they found a knife? have they told you anything about having a knife in evidenc

chief sam dobson and ronny robinson, both here. they are available to provide advice and support. sam and ronny will bring a wealth of useful and practical knowledge to the effort, and certainly whatever support they can provide. they can help protect people and their right to assemble peaceably to protect the right to talk about and report, and help keep people safe. i want to conclude by recognising the officers of the st louis county police department and ferguson and other law enforcement officials involved on the streets of ferguson over the past several days. thank you for your service, thank you for respecting your badge, honouring the oath and for the service to our community generally. i hope that the decision made by the governor will make your mission clear, safer and shorter. thank you. >> me first and then we'll take questions. >> reporter: [inaudible] >> i think we all have been concerned about the vision that the world has seen about this region. and i think we are all about making sure that we allow peaceful and appropriate protests, that we use force only when nec

. >> chief sam dobson of the st. louis city police department and i have been in discussion with governor jay nixon and a colonel who were at the highway patrol headquarters in jefferson city. we are planning additional steps to quiet the violence. we are all determined to restore peace and safety to the people of ferguson, and i believe the continued resolve of a good people of this community will ultimately triumph over the few people bent on violence and destruction. have time to take a few questions before i return to operational planning. >> how many people have been injured? how many people -- >> we had at least, i believe at least three people. we had a couple shooting victims. so i think two or three people have been injured. >> any officers injured? >> were those random shootings or were they -- >> yes we were responding to those shootings. those shootings had nothing to do with law enforcement. it was between people that were actually out on the scene there. >> they weren't domestic shootings? >> no, they w

louis police chief sam dobson said the officers acted appropriately.? >> brings up a very good point. what about why use bullets, why not use a stun gun? >> tasers aren't 100%. if the taser misses the subject continues on and hurts an officer. >> reporter: let's get some reaction to the latest developments with darrel parks, he is an attorney for michael brown's family. counselor, good to have you with us this morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: let's get to what really matters most of the family i am sure, 12 days they haven't been able to see their son. they got that opportunity. how were they after? >> it's tough. i mean, you can't describe the feeling of knowing that your son was murdered execution style in his final days and it's just a tough situation for them to know that his final shot came to the apex of his head, when this officer did not have to shoot him. >> and for them now obviously, the focus is on why it happened, what happens coming out of that situation. they got to meet with the attorney general of the united states. what did that
