former governor of new york george pataki, republican, sent out a tweet also very credible of democratic of the mayor, these are his words, we're sickened by these barbaric acts which sadly are predictable out come of divisive anti--cop rhetoric of attorney general eric holder and bill de blasio is that fair? >> i don't think so it's fair. i send my condolences to the families of these police officers. i don't think it's fair because the clear insanity of lone gunman to the peaceful protests and aspirations of many people across the country including the attorney general, the mayor, even the president. simply not fair. >> schieffer: this does appear as you say to be deranged man. but are these shootings somehow a step backwards in the effort to try to get this thing right? >> i believe it's not a step forward. we have a violence problem. think about it this way. the tears of the families of these police officers and the tears of eric garner's family and michael brown's family, aren't shed in law enforcement blue. they're colorless. they're tragic. unnecessary. we have a violence problem.

>> george pataki is trying to change the conversation.nd part of the conversation we've been having in this country right now has been a difficult conversation and bits the relationship with, between police and communities. and the overall racial disparities within the criminal justice system. and i think to come out and make it about president obama, to make it about if you will, people with whom you do not agree with politically is an effort to score cheap political points. what the governor should be doing, the former governor should be doing, saying i want to be part of a conversation about change. not a conversation about whether this is about saying, i'll stand up for police officers and support their mission. which i do and many of us do. that doesn't mean that police officers are beyond criticism. or if as an institution, law enforcement cannot be asked, cannot be forced to change some of its practices. we can have both conversations. it is not one indeed or the other. and i think those that want to score political points by attac

former new york governor george pataki accused mayor bill de blasio of putting police officers' lives in danger. de blasio had supported recent peaceful protests against police following the death of eric garner at the hands of an officer. yesterday. police officers turned their backs on de blasio as he walked by. however. the mayor called the shootings an "assassination." we will continue to follow this developing story. for the latest updates you can visit our website at kron four dot com or visit our facebook and twitter pages. a gruesome discovery along interstate 80 in vallejo this morning. kron four's philippe djegal reports a man was found dead and investigators have not ruled this case out as a homicide. phillipe djegal>>: the unresponsive person police were called to check-up on, westbound off-ramp leading to inerstate 78 turned out to be a dead man. and, vallejo police lieutenant kevin bartlett says investigators are looking into weather or not this 48-year old man from vallejo was murdered. sot- "it's a suspicious death and we're not classifying it either at this point." th

george pataki sent a tweet staying he was stickened by the acts that are an outcome of anti-cop rhetoric. of eric holder and mayor bill de blasio. rejecting all of this, one of the things, the concern at the moment is the issue is starting to go down bipartisan lines, this is something to bring together. >> we have seen everything in the country politicized. is it happening in this case? >> it is. it is the may yore, and the police union. we have seen the pba go after every mayor, including mayor giuliani. the mayor freezes. it always becomes political when the police feel like they are not getting their due, and it's exaggerated now because of what happened over the past few months in ferguson and staten island. it's not surprising that it's political. the mayor has that paul pit. he gives a press conference. the mayor tends to live the battles. >> inappropriate for former mayor giuliani to say this? >> no, with giuliani and pataki, i was working for the governor, it's personal. they have seen and they said they have been to too many police funerals. the atmosphere that was created, and

among them, former new york governor george pataki. >> he should be out there expressing his outrage and expressing his support for the police. you look at the rhetoric over the last few years from obama, holder, deblasio. it's all anti-police. forgive me if i have been too emotional, but i have been to too many police funerals. . >> former chief of staff to west virginia senator joe manchin. chris, do you think that president obama is going to come on camera. i than he is on vacation in hawaii, but as i stated earlier in my take, there are cameras in hawaii. do you think that he will come on camera as he did with eric garner and michael brown several times? >> i don't know whether he will or won't. he came out with a statement with these terrible killings. my advice to the president would be to come out and say something. there's yovlt -- there's a lot of emotion, a lot of anger and frustration going on right now. i think this is an opportunity where, you know, where a president could come out and help kind of focus the country on what matters, and so if i was advising him and he wa

joining me now former new york governor george pataki who has criticized what he calls the divisive anti-copnt obama's attorney general and the new york city mayor bill de blasio. governor, great to see you. >> nice to see you, megyn. >> is this something president obama should be speaking about on camera? >> no question. he should be out there expressing his outrage and expressing his support for the police. but i'm not surprised it hasn't happened. you look at what's the rhetoric over the last few years from obama, holder, de blasio, it has all been anti-police. and it's tragic. forgive me if i get a little emotional here, but i've been to too many police funerals. i've seen what they did on september 11th, i'm going to have their backs as long as i live. >> we've got video of you with rudy giuliani at ground zero. you say sickened by these acts outcome of -- then rudy giuliani was asked about those comments. and he disagreed. i want to play the audience this sound bite. >> i think it goes too far to blame the mayor for the murder or to ask for the mayor's resignati resignation. but i don'

in the wake of this killing -- of these killings, former new york governor george pataki cited eric holderto blame. taking to twitter saying it was part of divisive anti-cop. holder called the shootings senseless and an unspeakable act of barbarism. a week ago he sat for an interview with joy reid. in the first part he spoke about local police and african-americans. in this portion of the interview today with joy, he speaks about race on america as well as his own accomplishments in office. >> you talked about the fact you've been forthright in a lot of ways talking about race. that's true. a lot of people believe that of you. your critics on the right might say, he came out swinging. saying we're a nation of cowards on race, talking about things in a very blunt way when it came to race. so, it's not surprising the other side swung back. do you feel in any sense that you might have come out and polarized the debate at all when it comes to talking about race? >> no, you see, i think that people have to be prepared to deal with the truth, with the facts. and not be defensive about that. if p

"i always wanted to be known for doing something right. but my past is stalking me, and my present is haunting me." investigators now combing over the 28-year-old's social media accounts to look for what led to his rampage. on a dating website, brinsley is pictured behind a c

. >> there are been plenty of political opportunities from the likes of george pataki, bernard carrekdy giuliani, all of whom have attempted to blame mayor de blasio for this horrific incident, an incident by a mentally ill person. as i mentioned. i will say that today i think we have perhaps taken a step back from the press i business in new york cit city-- precipice in new york city. my sense is that police union leadership has pulled back from some of the heated rhetoric and that there will be a pause on this kind of language, at least through the date of the funerals of the officers, four or five days hence. and a number of prominent protest lead ares in new york city have also called for the temperature to be lowered. and for a period of respect. >> woodruff: but the officer colligan said it has been a difficult time for police officers in the last few months. dow believe police officers have been at greater risk? >> because of the protests, no. absolutely not. policing is an incredibly dangerous job. and it deserves our respect, for people who are willing to put their life on th

former new york governor george pataki tweeting "these barbaric acts sadly are a predictable outcome of divisive anti-cop rhetoric of eric holder and mayor de blasio." >> it cannot be tolerated. that blood on the hands starts on the steps of city hall in the office of the mayor. >> reporter: nypd officers even turned their backs on the mayor as he walked into last night's press conference. so far no response just yet from the mayor to his critics, george. >> okay, linsey, thanks. we're joined now by ray kelly, the long eest serving commissioner of new york police and u.s. congressman greg meeks. let me begin with you, commissioner kelly. the anger of the police so palpable right now. is it fair of them to blame the mayor? >> obviously there's a lot of emotion involved when two police officers are killed. i think when the mayor made statements about, they had to train his son -- his son, who is biracial, to be careful when he's dealing with the police, i think that set off this latest firestorm, and, quite frankly, the mayor ran an anti-police campaign last year when he ran for mayor

you have mentioned so far on the republican party will hold a candle to hillary clinton, except george patakithe ex three-time republican governor of new york, who has a moderate background and experience. his record in new york is phenomenal, and he has the ability to pull in the crossover vote. you haven't mentioned anything about pataki, and pataki to me is the only guy with a clean record that could put up a fight against hillary. host: larry and his crystal ball outlook on 2015 ranked pataki in his seventh tier, 20th out of the 21 potential republican candidates ranked by larry sabido, just ahead of bob ehrich, and just behind peter king. in that category, the seventh tea is wanna buy a book category. guest: so promoting themselves essentially. pataki has been making some moves, but still, as sabido is pointed out, not considered a serious contender. host: rebecca berg is with the with the washington examiner." you can follow her on twitter @rebeccaberg. we appreciate your time this morning. guest: thank you. host: up next -- on the day that "the interview" is being released in limited r

george pataki tweeting this. sickened by these barbaric acts which sadly ... bill: welcome back to america's news room. our hearts go out to the families and the friends of these officers who live with them and know them very well. what now? >> this is an absolute tragedy and it's important that the mayor and all the officials in new york city start defending the police, stop the overheated rhetoric attacking the police which for the last year and a half under bill deblasio as a candidate then as a their created a chasm between the police and the african-american community. two years ago the nypd had a high favorability rating in the african-american community yet mayor deblasio created this tension in staten island. yes he made some general condemnations of violence. but protesters were allowed to close down bridges and take over streets. when cops were are assaulted by protesters the mayor called an alleged assault. the mayor has attempted to demonize police. this is what sets off the fringe characters in our society. my father was a cop in the 1970s. i reme

governor george pataki said sickened by these barbaric acts, a divisive anti--cop rhetoric and he hashtags the attorney general and the mayor. what do you make of that? is that leadership? >> i don't prescribe to that whatsoever. here again what i think is so important who are in leadership positions the president and the attorney general both i think have demonstrated great leadership in a crisis at a time where you have the country calling out for some reform. they have stepped forward. they are doing everything they can to help effect some change. but we as an entire community must come together and be able to launch a partnership, chris, here, in this tragic time in this moment and ongoing threats towards police cannot be tolerated and the community has the stand and are standing with the police across this country to combat anyone who may attack those public officials because attacking police officers is attacking society at large and we are not going to stand for it. no one in this country is going to stand for it. >> officers liu and ramos, obviously, living proof as officers of the
