dr. peterson and dr. hodas.is is an important issue that the alzheimers association has established a group looking in this very issue. they meet at the international conference every summer. this is a hot topic with regard to brain resilience and cognitive function and its role in development of dementia. >> that's really interesting. i was not aware of that. dr. hodas. >> extremely good and important question. research directed at this actively now includes approaches to using eeg measurements of brain function during anesthesia with attempt to monitor the level of anesthetic with eye toward brain activity and look at effect of that monitoring on cognitive outcome. that's one area we may develop quick answers to make a difference. >> interesting. thank you. senator tillis we're delighted you made the effort to come back. >> if i seem out of breath, i am. i had a conflicting committee. i want to thank the chair and ranking member. this is an important issue to me personally because i've been a caregiver. i just

dr. peterson, would be asking those questions. what equipment was used in apprehending this 25-year-old guy off his bicycle? >> they certainly are. >> doctor. peterson, you first. >> there's no evidence that suggests that they actually beat him. attorney parks is right here. maybe something happened in the takedown. my point is that be more transparent and forthcoming. why do we have so much delay in getting us access to that information? if there is more video, or if they do know what happens why do they make the community feel as if they're trying to get their story together instead of being transparent. set the record straight. >> i'm not making it as a guess. i'm suggesting i think that needs to be part of the investigation. and certainly that should be something that should be released to the public. darrell parks you have a thought on that? >> without question. the problem you've seen with these cases around the country is when authorities failed to be forthright in their information. normally that's what makes the public be

dr. peterson. >> you're exactly right. politicians are doing what politicians have to do which is manage the situation and direct their rhetoric towards the million of that situation. maybe we can quibble with the words they use, but your point is much more important, which is not only is baltimore baltimore, ed. baltimore is america, it is a city that is municipally indicative of the income gaps the extreme wealth disparities across this nation. so addressing those things at the federal and national level is just as important as addressing them directly and structurally in the city of baltimore. >> i agree totally. more coming up here on "the ed show." still to come, the challenger. we'll take a look at what bernie sanders' campaign means for hillary clinton, the challenge. we'll have the latest on the devastating earthquake in nepal. our guest shares her personal connection to the disaster and we're watching the protests as they unfold peacefully in baltimore. we're right back on "the ed show." [announcer] everyone works

peterson, in light of what dr. joseph just indicated here. he used twice the phrase "hunting ground," which means that these people are vulnerable targets of state authority run amuck. do you think that the six officers who have been suspended should receive a harsher punishment? >> we have to figure out exactly what happened. i'm less a fan of trying to persecute the individual officers and more interested in the systemic changes that are required here. dr. joseph is right. when you look at the conflation that we have, and the fact that it's biassing the communities that are poor, the consequences of which are devastating in those communities. con some of it is about understanding that it's broader than the individual cases. not enough of us are talking about raqia boyd. not enough of us are talking about natasha mckinney, who died under awful circumstances under police custody. we have to capture all the things that are actually going on to get the day to to understand how to best address it going forward. >> that's right. if all black live

dr. james peterson, director of studies at lee high university and msnbc contributor. gentlemen, good to have you with us tonight. >> thanks for having us ed. >> mr. henderson, i assume you just saw the dash cam video. how do you think this plays into the the case? >> well i think it shows us that but for the video tape that we received that came outside of official means and came from the community, we still would not have the hard evidence and the facts that show their lies and it goes beyond the lies into perjury where we have claim being made by the officer, that he was struggling that he was in fear, or that anyone else was in fear. so it's going to be helpful and corroborative corroborative. but it doesn't show as much as the first video tape that we all saw from the day before where we witnessed the entire incident playing out from the perspective of a thinker party. >> right now it looks like a routine traffic stop. there's nothing ordinary about it from what the video tape shows. i mean that's my first impression of this. there's been numerous reports about th

dr. james peterson. gentlemen, thanks for your time tonight. mr.wasn't charged until the videotape surfaced and you wrote about this in "the new york times" today with an op-ed. why does it take a piece of videotape? >> it is troubling because the narrative. the narrative is always the same. i felt in fear of my life. i felt threatened. the unarmed person reached for my gun and america continues to accept this narrative over and over again from every police department across the country, and when is america going to start to challenge these matd matters. but for this video, it would have been accepted again. it was accepted in michael brown. it was accepted in travis carter. it was accepted in every police shooting of an unarmed person of color that we can think of. >> how hard is it going to be to get a conviction? >> with video, it shouldn't be hard to get a conviction. you had eric garner on video. >> why isn't it every police officer is paying attention to the news? your thoughts on what's unfoldingunfold unfolding here? >> one of the reasons i

dr. james peterson, msnbc contributor.th us tonight paul henderson, veteran prosecutor and legal analyst. mr. henderson, you first tonight. where's the negligence here? and how do we know this guy was qualified? >> well, you're raising the exact issue. once again, we're having this tragic conversation about the unlawful use of deadly force involving an african-american man and law enforcement. it's going to raise the issue from a social justice lens of what kind of training this deputy received. we know that prosecutors are likely to use the exact statements that you just showed, talking about the deputy when he's saying oh, i'm sorry. i shot my gun instead of the taser. and that's why specifically he's being charged with manslaughter in the second degree which will be the reckless and unintentional killing, which i think should be fairly easy to prove given the information shown on that video. but that's exactly why prosecutors charged him in that manner and it will raise the secondary issues about what kind of training t
