so you have two people assassinated who were police officers and eric garner and let me preface thishat i am sorry that he died as a result of the interaction with the police -- >> of course. >> and -- also, yes, he was not selling cocaine, but untaxed cigarettes so in the hierarchy of crimes it was not the biggest crime of the century, but for all intents and purposes he was a career criminal with 30-some-odd arrests. >> and you can't pick and choose which laws to fol loelow, and you can't just pick and choose, you have to follow the law or not. and i want to return to the wife here because she was so poignant in her tribute to her husband. she was distraught but she spoke about him being a caring son and loyal husband and amazing man and she call ded him her soulmate and she drew on the strength saying that he supported both of the parents and supported her and you got a sense of the chinese culture involved and wrapped in. there is a growth of the asian off officers especially within the nypd over the last couple of de decades because they are recruitment efforts have sought to st

for that reason i chose eric garner. >> joy reid, the person of the year?wn. because i believe that it was his death that galvanized the initial conversation that made people pay attention to eric garner and tamir rice and john crawford iii. even the fact that people question the accounts and the memories of the 16 witnesses versus 2 who say his hands were up even that conversation is sad as it is about people's representations of young black men. i think it's real. i think it's raw. i think that we can't believe what intuitively is true unless we see it on video. says something not so great about the country but that needs to be said. >> what do you think, what would the eric garner attention level be without michael brown coming first? >> i know that here in new york city it probably would be on very, very high but nationwide i don't think people at berkeley would be protesting if eric garner didn't happen right after ferguson. >> there was a cumulative effect that happened there. my person of the year and the first time i've done this i actually agree wi

a staten island grand jury failed to indict a police officer in the choking healed death of eric garner. the president touched on it in the state of union address. >> we may have different takes on the event of ferguson and new york. but surely we can understand a father who fears his son can't walk home without being

not only in the shootings of michael brown, eric garner tamir rice and others, but the legal process and backlash that followed. more than half a century after the final vestiges of jim crow were torn down, housing, education, voting, it was illustrated again and again in in 2014 that there is more than one way to look at america. an opportunity and rights, personal safety on the streets. >> this was the scene earlier in december in new york city. washington, d.c. chicago, and oakland. in cities across the country people took to the streets to protest the decisions of two grand juries not to indict police officers in the deaths of two unarmed african-american men. >> what comes as we've seen in recent days in our criminal justice system too many americans feel deep unfairness when it comes to the gap of professed ideals and how laws are applied on a day-to-day basis. >> the grand jury decisions i am inflamed protesters. and the shooting of 18-year-old michael brown in ferguson, missouri, by a white police officer darren wilson, those shootings and the shooting of a 12-year-old boy in

, end up like michael brown, why do they turn to these lives of -- eric garner had a rap sheet goingk 30 years. michael brown assaulted a police officer after robbing a store this his own neighborhood. why are so many young black men turning out this way? i think eric holder and barack obama are uniquely qualified to lead that conversation. they have no interest in having it. lou: no interest in having it and i struggle to comprehend why i think so many of us in this country actually believe -- you and i have never talked about it but i actually was one of those people who thought we had a pretty good shot at being a postracial society with the election of this president. >> i don't think the heft has any interest -- the left has any interest in being postracial. they believe in divvying us up by race and gender and sexual orientation and making specific appeals based on those characteristics. i think that is the essence of identity politics, and that's what they believe in. i don't think they have any interest in being postracial whatsoever. lou: why do you think there is sort of de

after the eric garner incident, my son calls me and he says dad he says i'm afraid. he says it's against the law to be a large black man. and my son is a rather large man. and i mean that really really bothered me. i have to be concerned about my son's safety. and i have to be concerned about his perception of him being a large black man. and you know we have to have these conversation. now si have a younger son that is 13 years old that is a pretty big 13-year-old. and he's very innocent child. so he wouldn't even understand an interaction between him and the police. he understands that his father is a police, he understood stands he has taken photos as a child in her father's uniform and he was proud of that. but unfortunately the way that police respond and interact with our young black youth is problematic. our children are afraid. and it is totally against anything relative to policing that our youth should be afraid of law be en-- law enforcement. >> you realize someone is going to watch the program and say how is it that a police officer has to have a conversa

my friend tom mentioned eric garner as a career criminal and they would say, he is a guy selling loose cigarettes and trying to scratch outt a living on the wrong side of the law, but you give that guy a ticket a warning. you don't swarm him with six cops and end up killing him, and these are the indkind of fine-tuning questions that need to go on at the the community level. that is where this gets solved andt not so much the politicians. >> no question, err oshgtsol and as with we await the casket coming out of the funeral home, i want to get back to the human element here as we are seeing a young man slain in the line of duty. and i want to go to what his cousin officer liu's cousin said about him speaking at his funeral earlier today. >> he was the most caring and thoughtful cousin that anyone could have. he would go out of his way to make sure that we were always happy and taken care of. he brought pride and honor to our family. he was a role model for many. myself included. and will continue to be. >> oh. that is just incredible and poignant. miguel marquez is standing outside of

protesters when the grand jury failed to indict a police officer in the death of a fellow named eric garner in staten island. two police were killed in what the police department is calling an assassination. anyone who turns their back that will be a sign of disrespect, they shouldn't do that, they won't face any discipline but he says now is a time for grieving not grievance. >> now courtney just a quick final thought from you. as you say those officers turn their backs on the mayor bill deblasio at the last funeral. what is being done to mend the relationship between the city and the police force? >> well, bill deblasio is a mayor that campaigned, he's married to a black woman his son is half black and when eric garner was killed, you remember "i can't breathe" he said over and over again he had been tackled by cops. the mayor refused to suggest an indictment and it didn't go to trial. mayor bill deblasio was very outspoken that his own son had to be coached by him to deal with an aggressive police force here. that didn't set well with the police tors. the issue of michael brown there not

struck the whole nation around the race issue and the death of the young man, michael brown, and eric garner in new york. and demonstrations that involved race. it seemed like we are still far apart on that. it seems still to be the case we have such differences and views of what happened. at the same time, our compassion and concern about the death of the police officers in new york is what a tragedy, and senseless murder and i've had friends who are police officers and so they know what it's like, we all know what it's like for them to put their life on the line, and i don't think anyone has not felt are bad or -- in those situations where grand juries seem to look the other way has struck some real deep cord, and for those that are not concerned about that and be -- look the other way, it's hard. >> you mentioned ferguson. lasting impact, i went to high school outside of st. louis, and that was the time, with the famous pruitt housing, housing people in big vet tall things down tone -- vertical things those were downtown for dream, and they leveled everything between downtown and forest p

respond to things that they disagree with. >> let's go back to the protests after ferguson and eric garnerin new york. do you think those protesters really understanding how it impacted police officers who believe that they are doing a good job, and that they don't do anything to harm black african-americans in the city of new york? >> first of all, i think the protesters wanted to have an impact on the police officers but they want better policing. that's the response they want. they want fair policing. they want the people who live in harlem to be policed the same way as the people who live in benson hurst. so these are the things they are asking for. >> and you were in the department, so they don't get that now? >> well i mean we can look at some of the responses and the tactics by the police department and how certain communities are policed differently than other communities, so it's not just a thought -- i mean this is reality. >> it's reality from your point of view and then i listen to police officers on the other side who simply say, we're fair. we're honest. we treat everybody th

right after the events in ferguson another grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer, eric garner in staten island. the media has been focusing on this call for a national debate on criminal justice police brutality. what we are witnessing is the first of a new civil rights movement. >> we turn our attention to french politics and they come back of a familiar face. >> we wondered whether he would make a comeback. we're talking about nicholas sarkozy. kerry is on the front page. -- he is on the front page. it is going to get heated in the next couple of months and years. the harrises -- he has his eye on the next presidential election. the french president has had a terrible year, 2014. he spent a lot of time with a record low in opinion polls and broke up with the former first lady. she got her sweet revenge with a book. it sold 570,000 copies in france. it was the 2014 bestseller in france has been translated into dozens of languages. you can sear on the cover of "match." she made a lot of money with the book. >>

or the new york policeman who put a deadly chokehold on eric garner. >> i can't breathe!the issues are so difficult, even president obama had to search for the right words. >> when you're dealing with something is deeply rooted as racism or bias, in any society you have to have vigilance. but you have to recognize it is going to take some time, and you just have to be steady. >> but many americans one swift action on the issue of police violence. in baltimore i met up with a woman who last spring had a traumatic running with the police -- run-in with the police. >> i drove up to here, i saw the guy on the ground. the police was kicking him, so i recorded. they told me i could not record, they pulled me out of the car and taste me and -- tased me and arrested me. >> they confiscated her mobile and erased the video. what the police didn't know, her mobile phone had automatically uploaded the video to a website. >> first we tried to go to internal affairs to expose the video to them and the police department but they would not respond. after several meetings we realize our l
