and right now, chris hayes anchors "all in" from ferguson, missouri. >>> good evening from ferguson, missouri. i'm chris hayes. and dawn broke on this city in a very different ferguson today. after days of turmoil following the shooting death of michael brown at the hands of a police officer, last night, finally, a breakthrough. once control was transferred from the county police to the highway patrol yesterday, it was a totally different scene on the streets of ferguson, a scene we brought you right here last night. >> what you're seeing right now, and i think this needs to be clear to the rest of the world, it's not even much a celebration. this is release. >> reporter: aside from a handful of minor incidents, last night was largely peaceful. and instead of camouflaged officers pointing heavy weapons at protesters, you have uniformed cops actually leading a march and later mingling with the crowd, hugging, conversations, and sometimes very intense arguments between police officers and protesters. none of which was possible 36 hours earlier, when they were in s.w.a.t. gear and gas m

the ferguson police off the case.er times i got out in the crowds when there was no leadership, no one to help direct. people were milling around, and looked like a prescription for disaster. so i added focus and clarity. other times i saved people's lives. >> how did you do that? what were the circumstances. the the circumstances - just the other night, because of the heavily militarized vehicles and gas asks and the military presence provides a flashpoint. the crowd comes up against it, one or two appearance want to charge the lines and the men come out with their guns. i jumped in the middle and risked my life to help the people to keep the peep away from destruction and disaster, and keep them marching in a disciplined fashion. >> we are talking about moving forward. looks like there's a bit of momentum building from last night. i don't know what role the weather is playing. we are talking about a calmer night on the heels of last night. what are your thoughts about mogg forward and healing. people will tell you a

and it looked like fallujah, not ferguson. it looked like what would go on in tiananmen square in beijing. i think people looked at that around the country and said this won't work. we don't want this in the united states of america. rand paul i think really hit the nail on the head and talked about how it created the picture that we were an occupied land. so we want the secretary to re-evaluate this program. not discontinue it, but there have got to be parameters. and i don't think either isis or al qaeda are planning some kind of attack on the mcdonald's in ferguson. >> really quickly here, congressman. as you probably know, last night the crowd considerably smaller and six arrests versus 70 monday into tuesday. are you concerned at all the fact that the protests are considerably smaller than they have been, that that might be some sort of indication that interest in this community, interest in this city has already started to wane? >> no. i think one of the things that i'm thrilled about, and i think others are pleased to s

as you look at the ferguson avenue, this is a quarter mile stretch of ferguson. where michael brown was shot and killed. and then a quick trip, the store where michael brown is accused o of stealing the cigar. we're talking about a quarter mile there, and then all of the chaos over the last nights, and we're getting to a place where there are as many reporters and demonstrators as protesters right now. if you look at that, there's a scene starting to build, and you'll likely see more police presence, and we're in an hour half a mile away. a police helicopter, it landed just a few moments ago, so this is the scene that we're going to continue to monitor and continue to watch very closely. the hope is that the marchers demonstrate and protest peacefully, and then at a certain hour, they will leave. at a certain hour, the people demonstrating peacefully have made their point and they will leave for the evening. there was a point on the street when you talk to the people, and it's the issue of moving forward. and what does the police force look like moving forward. a

from ferguson, missouri. i'm chris hayes. night has fallen here in ferguson, and we have seen a dramatic change here tonight. a real shift in the mood in ferguson at this hour. last night, officers didn't use tear gas, but there were tense standoffs happening in the streets. the night before, rocks being thrown at media, following days of chaotic scenes with police using tear gas and rubber bullets. tonight, it is largely calm. about 100 protesters circling. partly because the rain. partly because the police have made it difficult to get down to this part, and partly because of the sheer exhaustion of a traumatized community. and partly the sense that the wheels of justice are in moment. there were major developments today. the grand jury began to hear evidence for the first time today. attorney general eric holder came to town to meet with fbi agents pursuing a federal civil rights investigation, which included conducting a third autopsy and canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses to his death. holder met

ferguson will be under curfew. there was more demands for justice as more national activists arrive to support the demonstrate junioo demonstrators, and attention from the federal government. attorney general eric holder announcing a second autopsy by a second medical officer as requested by brown's family. there are new tensions and fears that things may spin further out of control. >> this is the police department. you are violating the state-imposed curfew. >> the warning came loud and clearing echoing across the asphalt as police in riot gear moved in again. the curfew, midnight to 5:0am imposed after reports of looting the night before. the attempt at security and preventing another night of unrest did little more than inflame some demonstrators. >> don't shoot. >> more than 100 stepped into the street. the stretch here where michael brown walked moments before he was killed. following up on the warning the police advanced, dressed in fatigues, helmets and gas masks, armed with billy clubs and military-style w

al jazeera is at ferguson now. we're just out of a very emotional, very raw church service held about mike brown. natasha, i think we were struck by the incredible emotion that captain johnson brought to the service when he talked about mike brown. let's listen. >> we need to thank mike for his life and the change that he's going to make and make us better. >> natasha, really a very emotional reaction to an emotional comment from captain johnson. >> reporter: well, keep in mind, joey, he is a native son of ferguson, if you will. he's the miami state highway patrol captain brought in to restore law and order and bring a sense of peace and calm to the streets of ferguson. there have been many speakers today, but definitely captain johnson really seemed to rouse the crowd by connecting with them, by telling them that he's their neighbor. he's their family. he's their friend. i thought it was worth noting that he also said that i respects their right to protest, and he believes that something good from the death of mic

louis in ferguson. >> reporter: not yet, alex. it's sort of business as usual so to speak as odd as that may sound. as you know, captain johnson asked peaceful protesters not to come out at night but instead do protesting during the day. we've only seen a handful of protesters and continue to hear the car honking as well. we did hear one gentleman drive by shortly after that shooting happened, that's about 3 miles up the road. heard one gentlemen drive by and all he screamed was, they shot another one, y' all. they shot another one. that's all we heard so far. the protests have been small and peaceful. as you know, that's been the case by and large since these protesters started. no problems when the sun is out. tepically the problems happen when the sun goes down. we're obviously still just a few hours from that happening. >> speaking of the sun going down, there's no curfew tonight, craig, but we know city of ferguson has asked residents to stay home. there's been a lot of confusion what folks are allowed to do and not allowed t

in ferguson. i think it is an issue for every single family in america. >> from a pure strategic point of view, i mean, when martin loouther king jr. goes to birmingham, he is trying to provoke the police, right? that's part of why they picked birmingham because they know connor is going to respond in some of the ways, for example, that governor nixon responded. but not because they desire some sort of negative interaction with the police, but because they are trying to reveal what the injustice is. i kept trying to say that notion of provocation, you are missing the strategy of a political movement. >> that's what activism is, right? >> you provoke the state to behave that way. >> to me if we're talking about outside agitate, i immediately think of the mainstream media who goes into a community like ferguson and tapes almost exclusively footage of looting. that is framing a narrative in a very specific way. to me people who go to sort of express solidarity, that is very different than the media c

as he spoke about the situation in ferguson.washington post columnist eugene robinson amplified that sentiment with a calm on the state of african-american men in america. it reads in part the fire this time is about invisibility. we expect the police to keep unemployed poorly educated african-american men out of sight and out of mind. when they suddenly take center stage, illuminated by the flash and flicker of molotov cocktails, we feign surprise. they are invisible but in ferguson and other pockets across the country millions grow up knowing the deck is stacked against them. the unrest in ferguson, missouri, is bringing into focus again the racial tensions that simmer in this country. joining me now is joshua dubois, president obama's spiritual adviser this his first term. sits on the advisory board of my brother's keeper to address the opportunity gaps by young men of color. also michael steele, my friend, former chairman of the republican national committee. the only chairman of the republican national committee i have as a

to the extent--to a number of people who are in ferguson are not from ferguson. we're talking about politics. the alderman, the person who has been probably most effective at both communicating and organizing is antone yes french. antonio french is a st. louis city alderman. he doesn't represent ferguson. but what i'm thinking, the extent that ferguson folks are there, it takes them out of the emotion. get them registered, thinking about politics, and it's a done deal. >> i got to say goodbye. to our guests, thanks a lot. that brings us to the end of "inside story." thanks for being with us. from washington, i'm ray suarez. >> because michael was a big guy, but he was a kind, gentle soul. before he left this earth, the day that he was killed he was out spreading the word of jesus christ. this moment michael also stated to the family that one day the world would know his
