approach to all of the things that have come out of ferguson, because it's not just happening in ferguson or st. louisegion, but in the country as a whole. i think that the members of the council, and a mayor - this is a message sent to them loud and clear. there's only so much that the government can do in job creation, in this kind are kind of thing. we need the business community to come forward as well and play a huge role in what is taking place. we see initiatives that have come down from the city council, the country council from the governor's office. we need the business world, the nonprofit world and government working hand in and are hand with the issues. >> do you see evidence that businesses, none profits, governments and police embraced the idea of reunification to make ferguson and places like it a better place. >> i do. you have the ferguson commission that has not come out with its report, but it has over 100 things that they are looking to tackle. and they understand that these issues are very much intertwined. you have the urban league which is setting up an office where the quick t

. >> something like this doesn't happen on a regular basis in ferguson, or st. louis. we have only had 30 or so murders. in the city, not far from us, they are on track to do more than 120 this year. it's not that this happens on a regular basis, it's a tragic situation that shouldn't have occurred. >> so what does this killing represent as far as the challenges and the problems that exist in ferguson? >> it represents the situation that creates a lack of hope for a community. if one can't graduate from high school at 18 and go on and live a full life, and grow past nine while doing homework, it provides an opportunity for people to lose hope, and that's not what we need. so at this time, we need to come together, and haven't seen the things that we need to see happen over the past year. this is the second wake-up call that we have to push us in the direction of doing more. >> representative - what would you like to happen? >> we need to go back to the drawing board, and look at things from birth through graduation. we don't give individuals a quality education, we don'

you've seen activists and organizers getting specifically targeted by ferguson or st. louis police. you've seen tanks. we had this question, all right, right, about a year ago where we've had president obama and the pentagon saying we don't need these militarized weapons, but yet, we still see them one year later. the question is, it's not -- it's a question of how much have we really progressed, if we've progressed at all? >> vincent how do you address this? how does a police department, maybe this police department in particular, try to listen to what dante is having to say and make a connection? >> well, i don't think there's a connection there, john, and here's why. we're not only talking about officer's safety when bricks and bottles and whatever fluid is being thrown. you're also talking about the safety of the citizens, and the number one job of police is to protect and serve. so, you know, when they're getting bottles and bricks thrown at them, they have to mindful of the public as well. there's no debate there wlaefr whatsoever. >> we can continue this debate for hours. goo

ferguson. >> even protests that have happened in the past two or three months the response from the police forces in ferguson and st. louis city have been super-aggressive. even if it's 20 activists in the streets just a couple of weeks ago. >> reporter: the city says it's trying to reform and diversify its police department but in the years since brown's shootings it's only increased the number of african americans on its force from 3 to 5. ferguson's economy still bears the most visible scars from last year's riots. empty lots and boarded up buildings dot florison avenue. >> you thought you would be in here by mother's day. >> right. i haven't had any income from my store. >> the city says it's confident it can operate on a smaller budget and still make the necessary reforms but it can't say how long those reforms might take. now there are a number of events planned this weekend to memorialize michael brown and organizers are calling for calm. antonio. >> diane eastabrook in ferguson. thank you. >>> first new york made major changes to its stop-and-frisk program. now another city is doing the same, changes coming to chi

ferguson. i think i said st. louis. just a quick yes or no on that one. >> reporter: i am in ferguson. standing outside of the ferguson police department. we were in st. louis a bit earlier for that demonstration. >> a year on, the question has to be: even if it is just a perception: why has nothing changed? we are seeing a state of emergency. we are seeing police on the streets. we are seeing another black man gunned down for whatever reason, whether he was resisting arrest, enda endangering the police or not. >> once again is likely to raise tensions there. why is nothing changed? >> well, the demonstrators would certainly say nothing has changed or very little has changed except perhaps the elevation of the issue into the national public consciousness. they feel that reforms are happening too slowly and they point to situations like this where someone is shot by a police officer as exactly what you say. nothing has changed. police will say they were shot at first in this situation and, as someone who was on the scene where this happened last night, i can say it was chaotic situation

ferguson as the day goes on, even residents in st. louis county are unclear what to expect. one man likened it to a hurricane, heading to your city but you don't know if it's category 1 or category 5. police in ferguson and st. louis county are planning on disruptions throughout the day and night but nothing on the scale of when the grand jury decided not to indict officer darren wilson in the shooting of michael brown. missouri governor jay nixon has also released a statement calling for peaceful protests so the region can continue moving in what he calls a positive direction. but they are bracing, and it's all hands on deck throughout the day. >> are we getting anything from protesters about the shooting last night? >> reporter: their biggest concern so far seems to be the fact that the shooting involved plain clothessed police officers who were not wearing body cameras. remember, there's been this major push to make sure that every single officer is equipped with audio and video. the organization for black struggle released a statement saying, and i'm quoting here, after a year of protests and conversations about police accountability, having plain clothed officers without bo

ferguson. >> even on protests that have happened in the last two or three months, the response from the police forces in ferguson and st. louishave been superaggressive. even if it's 20 activists in the streets just a couple of weeks ago. >> the city says it's trying to reform and diversify the police department but in the year since brown's shooting, it's only increased the number of blacks on its police force from 3 to 5. one of the newly elected city council persons, is a community relationship could go a long way in bridging the racial died. >> we've had town hall meetings, we've hired an expert who is very experienced in community policing. a lot of citizens aren't familiar with what exactly community-oriented policing is. >> reporter: ferguson's economy still bears the largest scars from last year's violence. janice andrews hopes to open her new shop, but after months of construction delays she worries that she will. >> reporter: are you surprised it would take you this long? >> oh yes. >> you thought you would be in here by mother's day. >> that's a big time for me. i haven't had any income from my store. >> the loss o

st. louis county police or the ferguson police, these anti-cop individuals see one thing.see a uniform and a badge. that is all they see and it doesn't matter what agency or municipality comes from. that's just the way that they feel about law enforcement in general and it's off the chart. lou: they are out of control right now and so the good that law-abiding people of these communities, the majority of them are paying for this with their lives. and this includes a fundraiser to try to put the life of darren wilson back together. >> it's a heckuva lot more than that. but it is notable. the number of politicians haven't got the guts to say this nicely what you have said before this kind of violence in this continuation of tragedy in ferguson. and so why is everyone scared to death to talk straight and honestly and forthrightly into deal with these issues and seek resolution? >> it is more politically expedient. it you know, the law enforcement officer doesn't have a voice in this thing. they can keep your head down as it relates to the politics of it. and i've heard some o

and they are not necessarily police officers or members of police departments who work for the st. louis or fergusonent. so it is within their rights but i would rather not see it. >> let me ask phil. you have the chief of police saying they don't want these folks there. obviously, they worry that this will get something going that they don't want to see. >> i can't imagine any police chief wanting to have the oath keepers or any similar time of organization out there with visible guns out there. you have a very tenuous situation, you need everybody to remain cool. i see it as this recipe for disaster. i'm not really sure what the purpose is. i'm not sure what the good of them is and as a law enforcement person, i don't see how they help this situation. >>, thank you, guys. and be sure to watch cnn tonight with don lemon at 10:00 p.m. eastern. we are standing by for donald trump's campaign event. new polls show that he has taken the lead in iowa despite his latest controversies. plus, millions of gallons of toxic waste water. heavy metals in that metal turning a pristine river orange now. new tests

st. louis or ferguson communities. i think it's obvious that there have been some measures that have appeared to be an air of transparency, that people did not get last year when they waited hours to find out details on the shooting of michael brown and the name of the person responsible or the person who shot him and that wasn't done. however, i think that the community is still feeling very frustrated and feeling that things have not changed enough. >> how much faith is there? is there any faith moving forward? >> i have not observed anything. i have not observed reason to have faith at this point. i think this will be a make or break point for this police department. yes, once again, it's being thrust into the national spotlight. this is a small area. this is a small midwestern suburb that doesn't have a huge population, they don't have the technology or resources of a place like new york or chicago and, again, the entire world is watching ferguson. what they do now, this isn't a second chance. you know, this isn't
