eugene is saying that it's incumbent on a person not to attack the police or this can happen? >> of course threats be very clear. we don't want any police officers hurt by anybody any time. i'm from a law enforcement family. that's the last thing anybody wants. there's something in our country called excessive force. police have the right to use the force necessary to effect an arrest. in our country, any force beyond that is called excessive. we don't tolerate that in america. we're now in a situation where people are saying if you do anything to a police officer, they can kill you. that's not our country. that's other countries. i want to say something about madison in particular. i was just there six weeks ago, dr. king day. i was there with the governor who was a republican. i was surprised six weeks ago by how tense madison was racially. there was already a group formed young, gifted and black that was demonstrating and talking about police misconduct and police violence. this is six weeks ago. they already had to pass a law to change the way that these shootings are hand

eugene i will start with you. josh earnest said the president didn't watch netanyahu's address at aipac yesterday, will not be watching today. if the plan was to influence negotiations taking place as we speak, is this a failure for prime minister netanyahu? >> well it kind of depends, to tell you the truth. frankly, i think there's limited impact he can have on what happens in the negotiations going foormd in the negotiations, that's happening elsewhere. he can change or potentially change the climate in washington and the way those events that are happening in the negotiations are perceived here. but i don't think he can materially impact the u.s. negotiating position as far as we know it certainly not the iranian negotiating position as far as we know it. it will be interesting to see how much of what he knows he reveals in his speech. >> and anna you are there as well. bring you in noted by the first read team domestic politics versus what we are seeing here how is this playing out in israel. >> this is a poli

eugene fidell, welcome.ow sergeant bergdahl got the news while he was at if fort sam houston texas. was he expecting the charge? what was his reaction? >> i can't tell you his reaction because that would be breeching the attorney-client privilege, but he was -- what i can tell you, i think in fairness, is that he's philosophical about this entire controversy. you know, it's lasted many, many months more, i think, than any of us anticipated. it's something that he and all of us would like to see over but, at the same time, we have to make sure that we're protecting his legal rights. >> woodruff: is he guilty?

virginia adopted a eugenics what a short hearing was held. she was given the i.q. test which was the earliest form & testified she had a low iq. many years later that harvard professor found carry and gave further career version and it was in the normal range. another witness testified at her hearing that the social worker had agreement carries baby then six months alone and said something didn't see a normal about the baby. just as the state of virginia ordered a tubal ligation be performed to be surgically sterilized. the lawyer took the case to the supreme court it should have been an easy case. after all the constitution and prohibits cruel and unusual punishment she had done nothing wrong. even by that point in history with the word liberty in the constitution and translated fundamental rights surely one of the rights is a right to procreate but the supreme court eight / one decision written by justice oliver wendell holmes ruled against carey. with the most revered jurist one of the most extensive language anywhere the justice holmes said '' three generations

eugene you were a prosecutors and nypd officer. how many other ferguson type situations do you think are out there? >> i think the root of the ferguson issue is a political issue. but at the same time i think police departments -- every police department should take a hard look at ferguson and should take a hard look at itself. this is an agency that was enforcing jaywalking 90% of the people. this is an agency that was doing illegal pedestrian stops and documenting them. so you could see them. you really have to say some of these police departments, you know the management mirrors the kind of management you'd see in radio shack. problem, what problem? now, i don't want to absolve the political establishment. they're at the root of this. ferguson was affiliated to having a reasonable tax system. the legislature should be held to account for that. but police departments really have to look at -- in the mirror on this. and frankly we have failing schools. we have failing businesses and we have some police departments that are failed.

eugene based on what you have seen in this video, what's your take? >> well, the cops are thinking worst-case scenario, of course. there's a robbery call which is the top of the violence pantheon. they get there, they're being fought with actively by somebody. they try to use nonlethal weaponry. that's unsuccessful. there's -- it sounds like there's information floating around in the air about a gun. somebody's yelling things about a gun. so you can imagine in the police business this is at the very top of the concern level for cops about whether this will end lethally for them or somebody else. >> the los angeles police commander has been trying to seemingly get out in front of this. he sat down with our sara sidner last night. police just held a news conference. how do you rate the response by officials in terms of their communication with the public? >> they're doing fine. they're getting the information out. the video is there. as a prosecutor i've investigated these cases and i do know that invaluably are the accounts of the people in the neighbo

eugene o'donnell is a former nypd officer and professor of law and police studies.s that came out yesterday was darren wilson not charged. the ferguson police department was charged. there was a sense of this new chapter could begin. we could focus on the most important part of this which is the problems that exist at the ferguson police department. as we saw last night, not everyone is ready to move on here. is it important that the police chief needs to step down? is that a way that all of us can then move forward? >> this is really a political issue at bottom. the senator can address those issues. the police issues are also shocking. the idea of 95% of the jaywalking tickets in a town that's not particularly violent versus other towns that african-americans would have the brunt of that. i think there's a message here for the whole american police establishment that they got to be not cocooned here. there's a lot of police chiefs who think we're doing great. sort of like radio shack management. guys, have you stepped outside your office and heard what people have
