professor ferguson has obviously set out that he should have abided by the rules, it was a lapse, an error of judgment. and those rules on social distancing are very firmly still required. the german chancellor, angela merkel, is expected to announce the further relaxation of restrictions later today after she meets the leaders of 16 german states. president trump is to scrap the task force co—ordinating america's response to coronavirus, despite a steady increase in infections and more than 70,000 deaths. you have people that are not going to stand for this, and i understand them very well. and we are going to put out little embers and little fires and may be some big fires, but we still have to go back to work. climate experts say this year will see the biggest decline in carbon emissions ever recorded, because of the pandemic. and a bbc investigation finds some hairdressers and barbers are flouting lockdown rules by staying open and cuttnig hair. by staying open and cutting hair. good morning. a goverment minister has urged us to continue following the guidance on social distancin

for a famous scientist, neil ferguson is curiously ignorant of science.s also obviously unappalling hypocrite and he's not alone in that. so many of the people making our policies are like this, almost compulsively again and again they do the very things they punish us for doing. when they are caught, they acknowledge no shame, they are entirely lacking in self-awareness, they discredit themselves without even realizing it. almost immediately after telling the rest of new york city to stay inside, mayor bill de blasio loaded up his suv with government bodyguards and headed to the gym across town in brooklyn, a government spokesman later explain the trip was necessary because his jim has been a huge part of his and his family's life. de blasio likes his gym so he kept going there despite telling you not to. got it. weeks later, he still couldn't stay out of brooklyn, one day he and his wife left home in manhattan and drove more than 10 miles to prospect park for some sunshine and fresh air. t.a stunned citizen happen to see the whole thing and videotape it

professor neil ferguson said he'd acted in a way that undermined the rules on social distancing. the uk's daily telegraph that a woman had visited his home — in breach of the restrictions. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is at westminster. well, as you say, professor neil ferguson, a member of the scientific committee known as sage, which advises ministers on their approach to coronavirus, he has stepped back from the committee this evening, following reports in the telegraph that he breached social distancing rules after a woman visited his home. i will bring you some of his statement tonight. he said "i accept i made an error of judgment. "i acted in the belief that i was immune from having tested "positive for coronavirus, and completely isolated myself "for almost two weeks after developing symptoms." he goes on to say he deeply regrets any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic. now, it was professor ferguson's work alongside a team at imperial college london about how devastating this epidemic c

mr ferguson said he regretted "undermining" the messages on social distancing.biding by those rules. what do you make of that? professor ferguson has set out that he should have abided by the rules and it was a lapse and error of judgment he made and the rules on social distancing are still firmly required. i think he has taken the right course of action in that context. clearly, the work of the government scientific advisory group continues. we have a range of experts who will continue to support ministers in making those right decisions. but i am obviously sad to see this development, but ultimately, professor ferguson has taken the right course of action.|j suppose people will be watching, thinking, well, how are the public expected to follow these guidelines when one of the top advisers isn't doing so? you make a very important point, which professor ferguson, in his statement, acknowledges. he said he shouldn't have taken the course of action that he did and that these rules and requirements apply to everybody. they are present and continue to be present fo

this of the reaction in years past in cases like baltimore and ferguson and miami and los angeles police officers would have called for and been granted long exhaustive time consuming investigations while the officers were put on leave with pay or demoted to a desk job in this case the f.b.i. was called immediately and the officers were fired from their jobs within hours of the incident still both the anger. and the fires smolder so we're going to be bringing you details of what. is happening in those cases with analysis and we're also going to drill down right here on the news the rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again. here are the questions we think you'll be asking tomorrow after watching your newscast tonight can america handle racial disturbances and a pandemic all at once what does minnesota's former governor think about the events taking place in his home state is the earth's magnetic field actually tilting and what's that mean for you. we're going to take you to all of that but really begin tonight with discord throughout america the death of george floyd is ca

well listen i you know you mentioned rick ferguson i was chair of the missouri republican party when ferguson the great tragedy happened that young boy who died it was a tragedy every death we should stop and say how did this happen but in that case the officer was vilified and that and the situation was much more complicated i agree the images we saw of what that officer did on the neck of that young man and he died is horrendous after that i'd use think we have are having protests about concerns and injustice we need to be careful to conflate them with this situation i do say did we ask our officers to be on the front line i don't think it excuses any behavior but i don't know the whole story and i guess i think they should have been suspended immediately and then get to the bottom is what it did she may have found that out quick enough but the riots and the burning of buildings and endangering other lives based on concerns this issue of the members of the police force or fire people of color this was not a white on black this was a bad cop situation if that's the facts look at rob

this pandemic i want to ask you about a story that just came across this evening professor neil ferguson of imperial college he is a leading u.k. modeler he has resigned from the scientific advisory group for emergencies after admitting that he made an error in judgment violated social distancing by allowing a woman to visit him twice during the lock down as a medical professional dr campbell how important is it that people such as professor ferguson practice what they preach. of course it's absolutely imperative and we saw this with the senior medical adviser in scotland as well that we can never say do as i say don't do as i do we must always say do as i do follow in my footsteps now neil ferguson to be fair hadn't had coverage 99 had tested positive for it so his thinking was that he was in you but of course that's a rationalization these rules are for everyone because we don't know apart from anything anything else just how immune people are ones that had the disease so he clearly broke the rules and he's unfortunately had to pay the price for that and it's a great pity because neil

r t's alexy are says kaye has witnessed similar events unfolding in baltimore and ferguson reports. everything happening in the united states these days for the last 3 nights at least is somewhat of a groundhog day when it comes to the protests against police brutality in the u.s. turning very very violent now in this particular instance it was spawned by the killing of george lloyd a 6 year old african-american man who was essentially killed by a police officer when that officer kneeled over his neck and the man suffocated later died for 3 nights minneapolis the city of minneapolis has been on fire there have been protests all around the country and you may ask yourself what's the reason for this protest not just the killing but the fact that the 4 policemen who were involved in this unfortunate event in this death of george floyd. indeed fired by the minneapolis police but the people in the streets they demand that they should be in jail. nevertheless the situation is very serious it has reached the u.s. president and the authorities and this new turn in general if you very genera

look at the civil rights riots, ferguson, baltimore, what happens to those communities?you lose small businesses you lose livelihoods, parents can't feed their children because they are not earning. we are coming off of 3-month a lockdown and these liberal governance in these cities led to further disarray, economic failure, liberal failure, when you divine those things this is tragic. i can't offer a glimmer of hope that these businesses and even the chains that are there, the franchises are losing stores and people will come out with a tougher situation when it comes to finding a job and going to work. how does it work for citizens? this is going to be a tough one. >> a long line of failures in the cities that led us to this moment. thank you for your time this morning. coming up, protests quickly escalating into violent riots in cities across the country. law enforcement a main target. how do we come together and move past the entire cop narrative. i recommend nature made vitamins... because i trust their quality they were the first to have a vitamin verified by usp..

professor neil ferguson, one of the architects of the lockdown, stepped aside because he'd broken socialtancing rules. virgin atlantic says the business effect of the pandemic is devastating. it plans to cut 3,000 jobs and might end its operation at gatwick. and we meet the choir that's come together online to fight isolation and to support each other. and in the sport on bbc news — as other sports voice concern over their future, the english football league says it could be facing a loss of £200 million. good evening. in the seventh week of the lockdown, the united kingdom has now recorded europe's highest number of deaths linked to coronavirus. we have overtaken italy, the first country in the world to instigate a national lockdown to control the pandemic. dominic raab, the first secretary of state, said the latest figures portrayed a massive tragedy but he warned against making comparisons with other countries until much more information was available on all causes of death. today's figures show there were 693 deaths linked to the virus recorded in a 24—hour period in the uk — that's

professor neil ferguson has quit about what he calls an error of judgment ferguson has quit about whatthe government's response of a coronavirus, are you disappointed he has resigned or was it the right decision? it was the right decision to resign. there are people who are not able to attend lifeline meetings for them. for example, people not able to attend lifeline meetings forthem. for example, people with eating disorders, people with serious mental— health conditions, they are not able to go to the lifeline meetings everyday. it is not simply 0k lifeline meetings everyday. it is not simply ok for someone to flout the rules for their own personal benefit when people are making such incredible sacrifices to keep their community safe and so ultimately, yes of course, we thank him for the work he has done, progressing as a through this crisis but he did the right thing and resigning. thank you very much forjoining me. prime religious questions will be starting injust over 30 minutes religious questions will be starting in just over 30 minutes or so and we are expecting some answers, s

ferguson and threw him on the ground and began punching him. how is it officers don't look at prosecutors like that and say they're detrimental to the practice of justice and get them off the force? they stay and get to keep being police? >> you know, joy, there are abuses and it's natural when prosecutors work with police officer% day in and day out for years. they do develop relationships, professional relationships and sometimes personal relationships. the thing is i always made it a point to convey to the prosecutors that i was supervising in the homicide section, you know, hold officers to a higher standard. not a lower standard and you never let your personal feelings or your personal relationships cloud your judgment when it comes to the evidence in a case. that goes for when you are working with victims, when you are working with cooperating witnesses and especially when you are working with police officers. because we give police officers enormous powers over the citizenry. powers to arrest. powers to use all necessary force to arrest.

let's look at ferguson. people telling me that there were many eyewitnesses, minority in this case, but people were seeing that through that prism, identity politics, telling on the record already backing up officer darren wilson story. and i was telling everybody else got it wrong, we were right on both cases. >> here's what we need. we need body camera footage. we need body camera footage. >> sean: game on, i'm with yo you. right this moment down. i agree with you completely. let's bring in lawrence jones, our correspondent on the ground. you spend lot of time all across the country with people in communities everywhere. you are watching this unfold. you live in the city of new york. you are here on the ground come out on the streets a lot here but also around the country. your reaction to all that's going on and what you're hearing from people you've been talking to all week. >> it's kind of weird because with quarantine and everything, i'm so used to being in the midst of these protests, and it's weird n

ferguson is a great community. i love it. i support it heavily.o only another business there with that community. but the problem being is the income level is not high income level. it's just people that are really working hard to struggle and be middle class and eliminates their ability to do things by taking away their -- they can't even walk to go to a gas station anymore. now they have to drive and maybe they don't have a car. yeah. it's caused a lot of, i would say, fleeing. people have flighted to other cities because the resources aren't there. and the city itself is doing a great job to rebuild. but we are still years away from where we need to be. griff: that is sad to hear, kurt. you are seeing now in minneapolis the law enforcement fully admitting they don't have enough troops. they don't have enough police. they can't get control. that's going to be the fight, sadly for the next at least few days. for business owners in ferguson, how fearful are you that should riots begin again that law enforcement can't protect you? >> so, we go thro

we did it in ferguson. we did it with the murder of lando castile in minnesota also.king about the death of breonna taylor. she was shot by police while she was asleep. you think about the case out of georgia and people chased a man down and shot him. i think it's important for people to recognize this isn't the first time that we've done this. we've been doing this for decades. we've been saying that the actions that the police are taking, actions that are supported by both democrats and republicans are wrong. actions that are taken against white people and black people. let's not forget about the murder of daniel shaver a couple of years ago. these actions are wrong no matter your political perspective, no matter whether you're watching this on fox news later. it is wrong and i think that that's what i really want people to focus on right now. >> jane, i'm so glad to hear you say it. i want david to stand by. we'll take a break and come back with all of you and have much more in just a moment. apps are used everywhere... except work. why is that? is it because peopl

ferguson a sorie august 24th teen peaceful protest has turned into chaos property damage and heavy handed police response sparked by the fatal shooting of michael brown a black teenager by white police officer darren wilson. wilson said he acted in self defense by witnesses said michael brown had his hands raised in surrender before he was killed the police officer was acquitted setting off waves of protest. just a month earlier eric garner had been choked to death by a police officer in new york city suspected of selling cigarettes illegally and his last words caught on tape before he lost consciousness i can't breathe the officer was not charged. with. the deaths of michael brown and eric garner set in motion months of protests across the country getting worldwide recognition to the black lives matter movement. 2015 a week of tense protests the spark the death of freddie grey in police custody protests escalated into vandalism an arson went off at 1st refused to release details. gray died of a spinal injury sustained in a police van eyewitnesses said excessive force had been used someth

think about the examples in ferguson, on west florissant, think about what happened in baltimore with freddy grade. think about what has happened to the neighborhoods and what you have done to destroy your community while not achieving the level of justice youu seek. >> tucker: some fraudulent princeton professor eggs them on. in 1967 detroit had one of the lowest black unemployment rates in the country, than they had race riots and it was detroit. for people to encourage it is really wrong. thank you for your perspective. i appreciate it. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the pictures of the burning car on the screen is happening right now. we will be watching the chaos in the twin cities throughout the w hour. back in washington though president has signed a newon executive order breaking big text control of speech online. will it work? we can ask congress about that next. ♪ staying connected your way is easier than ever.

the lead story for the daily telegraph and its exclusive is the revalation that professor neil fergusonitects of the lockdown here in the uk has stepped aside because he'd broken social distancing rules. with britain now having the highest death condition that on tuesday the uk's failure to increase testing rates earlier in the crisis may have cost the country dear. cost the uk edition of the financial times, majors on the news that virgin atlantic is preparing to cut almost a third of its 10,000 workforce in the uk and close its gatwick operations as it scales back in an attempt to survive the impact of coronavirus. for the times the main news is that the uk chancellor rishi sunak will next week announce plans to wind down the government's furlough scheme from july. the paper reports options include cutting the 80 per cent wage subsidy and lowering the currently cap on monthly payments. it also claims the treasury will prevent self—employed workers with profits over 30—thousand pounds from claiming government grants. ‘new lifestyle‘ reads the japan times. the japanese government has ca

and picked up another notch moved into another year in 2014 after the deaths of michael brown and ferguson is eerie and eric garner in staten island new york is unfinished business that work was was never resolved and in fact when an attorney general jeff sessions donald trump's 1st u.s. attorney general came into office he canceled a couple of consent decrees that have been worked out to try to fix police agencies in the united states of america and sent a powerful signal that whatever had happened before was no longer going to happen under donald trump's watch and so now we're seeing the continued challenge of structural racism in american policing and people have run out of options when it comes to how to weigh their voices how to communicate but one thing that i think is really important in this moment is to remember when george floyd was dying on the street with shoguns knee and his neck everyone who stood there in that same community asked politely there was no violence there were no no molotov cocktails they spoke to those place officers very clearly and say it stop what you're doin

so let's just take ferguson as an example.michael brown was shot and killed, president obama sent attorney general eric holder to ferguson to meet with the demonstrators and the community leaders and to look for a peaceful solution. he also, eric holder, began an analysis, an inves fact, there a pattern of practice of discriminatory behavior and get what he found -- yes, there had. so he forced ferguson to enter into a consent decree. the new administration came in and stopped funding many of the programs the justice department had to help local law enforcement follow the rules that were set forth in that plan that you mentioned on 21st century policing. the civil rights division has been gutted. and so when people think that the rule of law doesn't apply fairly to them, when they think there is no accountability, when they think that there is no justice and they see what's happening day in and day out and the only difference now is that we're capturing it on a cell phone and everybody is seeing what's going on, there is reaso

the daily mail prefers to major on the story of professor neil ferguson. the revelation will "enrage the tens of millions who are sticking to the regulations, especially couples forced to live apart". the lead story for the financial times is that virgin atlantic is preparing to cut almost a third of its 10,000 workforce in the uk — and close its gatwick operations as it scales back in an attempt to survive the impact of coronavirus. another economic story for the times — it says the chancellor rishi sunak will next week announce plans to wind down the government's furlough scheme from july. the paper reports options include cutting the 80% wage subsidy and lowering the currently cap on monthly payments. —— the current cap. and an economic view from beyond the london newspapers. the yorkshire post says the large manufacturing sector in that part of northern england helps explain why the region is losing £170 million per day in economic output, according to new analysis. so, let's begin... let's talk to you claire first of all. let's talk about the front pa

to jump, scottish chief medical officer, and for niall ferguson tojump, to go, to war, when they didmatt hancock said the police should be called in. now we have dominic raab, the foreign secretary, the facto deputy prime minister, saying that we should have sympathy for dominic cummings and his wife, it all makes me sick. i really think yourjob as the media is not to do this on the one hand, as the other, he may have broken the rules, he has broken the law, but is a fact! and then we should have a political argument about what that means. is not my job whether to determine whether he has determined the law, —— broken the law, on the question as to stepping outside the comment you just made and gives an insight into what it would be like to be in downing street advising the prime minister on what to do about this and be complex situation and how the prime minister handles a situation relating to his own advisor and what would you be telling the prime minister in terms of dealing with this now? it depends who the prime minister is. i know that people scream abuse at tony blair on soci

we saw it in baltimore and ferguson. what is the ability to take this energy, this frustration, this refusal to accept what's happening and turn it into a political movement that gets candidates elected, that changes police procedures beyond the immediacy of what we're seeing across the country? >> well, it often depends on how local leaders respond. there is oftentimes activism that comes from this, community organizations that band together from this. but that takes a little bit. right now we have folks expressing anger in a kind of decentralized fashion. it should be noted that he some of these folks don't live in that community and the solution building, the process of building it up will be left, unfortunately, of the ten to many people who were part of the process of bringing it down. and when we see in other communities i think about ferguson, in 2018, they elected a new county prosecutor in a historic upset election, a progressive who embraced the values of many of the social justice activism and other candidates

ferguson's first loss since 2012.ore covid-19 suspended spring training, hunter pence was hitting .357 in the cactus league. now while he's waiting it out to resume play with the giants, he jumped into a baseball zoom team chat with galileo high school. >> hold on. i think we got a zoom bomber. >> whoa. >> hey. map. >> hunter pence. >> whoa. whoa. whoa. >> no, no, no, this isn't real. no. no. no. >> what? this is awesome. how are you guys doing? >> plenty of game left for segment two, when we return, we'll say adios to an old friend and as i pause for video to come up on to the screen, what a day in the bay area for motorcycle riders love the open road. and geico loves helping riders get to where they're going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. the geico giveback. helping riders focus on the road ahead. a sad goodbye to josh

some of my experience in covering that these protests, most of these looters, and without this and ferguson and baltimore. and when the reports come out, these people are not from the community. they are bused in, they are antifa or in our crests and they have their own agenda. the people on the ground are crying out for help and i don't think that's too much to ask f for. >> sandra: i know that is the point that you make in a piece that you've published on

i was in ferguson, missouri, where we had riots, and the one common thread that you find, that you have people who are really upset about what is going on in their community. and you have a law enforcement on the other side who are saying, hey, look. all of us are not bad. what happened to george floyd should not happen anyone. when you have a man down saying i can't breathe. i can't breathe. and you can see this on video, oh, this is just reprehensible. it is shocking. the law enforcement officers out there are certainly in a zone of danger, but over a period of time, i think that this is all something that will calm down. >> shannon: when we see the officers that we did in that video from monday and there are bystanders, there are videos from businesses and a number of angles on what happen and transpired leading up to the death, where does, is it training that goes wrong? is it the officers in the situation making a bad call on what they were dealing with? at what point do these officers cross the line into something that they are have training that should have done or policy should

but we have several cases, professor neil ferguson, the community secretary robert jenrick who went tod i think some members of the public who had made other sacrifices, you have missed family funerals, not being up to visit loved ones they die, it it looks that there is one more for one and one more for the other.” looks that there is one more for one and one more for the other. i would just refer to the sunday telegraph had went as cummings... there is a picture of there for some it illustrates what the photographer butjohn your paper a traditionally conservative supporting paper. how are you going to approach this particular twist? —— a conservative supporting paper? we will see what comes out tomorrow. it seems like these allegations keep coming and it will be interesting to see number ten is saying that these new sightings of him weekly from durham that they are true and are inaccurate for some it would be interesting if members of the public oi'i interesting if members of the public on forward with footage or pictures. we have more eyewitnesses saying they did see him. i do not t

i think it was absolutely right for ferguson to leave because we trustees experts and i think he felthe did. —— we trust these experts. this is a very different story so everything will be done to protect dominic cummings. everybody knows that boris is not going to ask him to resign. and all of that shock horror that we saw with ferguson, we would not see from some of the people in cabinet closest to boris johnson. from some of the people in cabinet closest to borisjohnson. but i wonder what people who so far have really gone with everything that johnson and his close advisers have been doing and saying, whether they will feel betrayed. i don't know. we will feel betrayed. i don't know. we will find out. on social media, the last point about the story, a lot of criticism of him, but interestingly, he has his detractors with him, tori ra nks he has his detractors with him, tori ranks as well. absolutely. he is a very divisive figure. not only among liberals and among remainers, how cummings really came to prominence because he was absolutely pivotal in the leave campaign. and boris joh

i covered ferguson. i covered milwaukee where there were riots. and the problem i have is that this rioting is taking place right in the middle of black neighborhoods. now, what i'm deeply concerned about is this could very well spread all throughout the country because last night as you all guys, you know, this was going on in l.a. there was some riots out there. and so, i'm hoping that law enforcement officers can get all of this under control and that if there are going to be some arrests that they should take place immediately. ainsley: all right, ted, thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian back in the studio she has more headlines for us. jillian: a florida man shoots and kills a intruder. the bay county sheriff's office says nathan edwards busted through the couple's front door, jumping on the homeowner's life and knocking her to the ground. police say the homeowner in his '70s shot edwards multiple times. his wife was treated for her injuries. she is okay. new jersey gym owners suing governo

didn't happen after ferguson, is it likely this time around? >> it's not likely but there have been in the past significant movement and planning around police reform or law enforcement reform, specifically police. 21st century tax force in the previous administration, but many of those ideas were scrapped when the new administration came into power. but hit it on the head, in order to transform and change the current condition, relationship and dynamic between communities and police, there has to be some really significant reform model in place, and implemented. perhaps as result of this tragedy, unlike previous tragedies, perhaps this is the trigger, the mechanism to go forward with a complete reform agenda. and perhaps minneapolis may be the place to start that reform movement, along with understanding and taking into account all of the ideas from activists, law enforcement professionals, everyone involved in planning this thing. it's necessary. without it we'll be back here within a couple weeks. >> joyce advancvance, we have s this death f

overwhelming kind of police response that for example i witnessed in ferguson missouri after the killing of michael brown several years ago in that instance police were using these sort of of semi military armored vehicles a here you see police with their face shields with their baton. with. riot gear you know the the. protective vest and so on but not that kind of overwhelming force that has been deployed in some places i want to point out something else because you asked me a little while ago and you were speaking about the history of a racially instigated violence in the city of los angeles and it was in 1902. and no one here was alive can ever forget the riots that ensued after the police beating of rodney king on our black man with caught on videotape but i want to correct myself to the beating itself didn't spark the worst of the riots what happened later when the police officers who were put on trial for that beating were acquitted and set free that was the spark that really exploded los angeles in 1902 so we have to think then about officer child and possibly others who might be

and in ferguson, missouri, the city's police department damaged during protests and all nonessential evacuated. as brian stelter noted uraler on this program ferguson saw waves of unrest after a white police officer fatally shot a black teenager back in 2014. police in philadelphia say they have arrested at least 38 people so far. most of them on charges of looting and burglary. that city under a curfew until at least monday morning now as police try to maintain order. but the scene anything but orderly. brian todd is there. >> reporter: this is the scene in downtown philadelphia tonight. walnut and 17th streets in downtown philly, center city area of the city, a scene of absolute carnage on saturday afternoon and evening. widespread looting in this area of center city. stores, other facilities and other businesses broken into, looted, burned. firefighters here battling a three alarm fire in this building right here. you can see some of the water being deployed. there's a hose right there going into this building. actually, these three buildings seem to have caught fire. this is a th

as john mentioned ferguson. i remember being in los angeles in the days after the rodney king verdicts. we can talk about the '60s, the '90s, we can talk about in georgia just a couple of months ago. what you're seeing -- my question on this sunday is where is the circuit breaker? how do you convince these people with justifiable historic anger you need to step back. you're doing more harm than good? >> well, let me just point out there are 40 million african-americans in this country. 40 million. every one of us is heart broken. every one of us just destroyed because we don't know what to tell our children now. the reason this is different -- the reason this has broken our hearts. it's not the same as the others. there's some things that are similar. what is different is, there's nothing you can tell your child that would protect them from this outcome. you know, don't talk, don't talk back, don't have drugs on you, don't have a weapon on you. none of that saved this man. that's why you sea the heartbreak. with

it was in ferguson where you go a quick movement of several seconds by two people engaged and an officerinvolved shootin involves occurs where you have two different points of view, two different levels of evidenc and eyewitness testimony. this is on video, a slow and really painful thing to watch o somebody grinding somebody's face into the pavement until they are dead. that being said, it is horrific but you can't dilute the justice by more rioting because eventually you're going to run out of buildings and then you'r going to go into an area that isn't so willing to abandon the buildings and those people are going to fight back and then you're going to have a real problem. >> hold on, we just have some breaking news in brooklyn, in new york. a police precinct is now under threat. we will go to that report now o the ground. we will be there in just a moment we have to get our shots there. professor, i want to go back to you before we do that. when you see the images of mister floyd on the ground, i could only watch it a few times. it is heartbreaking. it is infuriating. and then you se

he mentioned ferguson.ou know, i was there in ferguson six years ago, and there was a lot of anger there that was boiling over. there was some sporadic fires that were being set, and i remember people saying at the moment that mike brown died, around then, when it was announced that the attorney general was coming, that there would be an investigation, that people actually paused. like it did actually mean something to people in the community. and that was the line that they were saying, you know, keep your cool. the attorney general is going to investigate. people had the hope that they might actually achieve justice through the official governmental channels that they were supposed to receive it through. and that staved off some of what we might have seen there. now, i want to call back the attention to our current administration and what the current president said in july of 2017 when addressing a group of police officers in long island, and he encouraged them to use more force when they were taking susp
