joining me now is a former professor at georgetown university and professor of law and police studies and john jay college. eugene i would like to start with you first. in terms of your reaction to these two pieces of videotape, what do you think? >> some of the situations -- two things happen to the police sometimes. they engage when they shouldn't or they fail to disengage. frankly, you have people with mental health issues. people who are stressed and acting irrationally. >> patel was an indian grandfather walking down the street not apparently engaging in anything other than walking down the street, right? >> there's things about the police culture that are hard to fix, but there are things that are surprisingly hard to fix and one of them is the whole idea of rough housing of people. sometimes it is verbal and sometimes it is more than verbal, but that is unacceptable. we have to teach the police clearly better with 18,000 police departments. we have to start getting to some national standards. we probably need to look more in investing in not only initial training, but good ment

he is speaking at georgetown university.lking about the relationship,le controversial relationship, between police and african-americans after the deadly confrontations in ferguson, missouri and in new york city. now, the new york times reports in his speech, he will say, among other things, that areas where nonwhite people commit a majority of the crimes, the police can become cynical and develop "mental shortcuts that lead them to be more scrutinized by minority groups." this is james comey speaking at georgetown university. more details later on. >>> 7:17. it's being called an air bag for a bullet. police officers in ferguson, missouri, they are the first to try it out. it's a new less lethal technology. take a look. the device is called the alternative. it's made by a company in san diego. an officer attaches that device to a gun. a metal bulb captures the fired bullet and slows it down to one- fifth the speed that reduces the force as it strikes. now, the release of this new device comes as police all over the count --

james comey spoke to a group at georgetown university today saying one of the biggest hurdle miss officers face is cynicism. >> police officers on patrol in our nation's cities often work in environments where a hugely disproportionate percentage of street crime is committed by young men of color. something happens to people of good will working in that environment. after years of police work officers often can't help but be influenced by the cynicism they feel. >> he said on the other hand poor minority neighborhoods often inherit a legacy of crime. and that cycle must be broken. >> doug is back with more on this cold windy weather. tropical-force winds. is this going to be worst than the wind we experienced about a week ago ar so? >> no. and we saw thousands of people without power in our region. i don't think we'll see that tonight but maybe sunday. that's when the real cold air comes in. if minus 5 to minus 10 isn't cold enough it will be a lot colder on sunday. but this is cold too. look at the temperatures. this is the mid-atlantic region. look at pittsburgh down to 12 right now. tha

christopher swift is a professor of national security studies at georgetown university in washington. christopher is this a tipping point for i.s.i.l. and the coalition? >> well, it is and it isn't. it is in that i.s.i.l.'s very provocative and brutal execution of this pilot seems to have unified public support inside jordan, each one of these countries that's providing military assistance has its own domestic political concerns and part of what you are seeing with the uae standing down temporarily and calling for more search and rescue support is of great concern of their pilots being turned into hostages and being executed in a similar way. while we may think of that one way this the united states, in some of these societies in jordan and united arab emirates these are connected to pretty important stakeholders and they exercise leverage. >> in some ways is this less about religion and more about the economy and the political situation in many of these countries? and some of the -- some of the countries tar not democracies worried about an uprising? >> sure. well, if you look at the

while speaking at a georgetown university meeting in washington he mentioned the police in both deaths of michael brown and eric garner saying police need to avoid "lazy mental short cuts that can lead to bias." listen. >> after years of police work officers often can't help but be influenced by the cynicism they feel. a mental short cut becomes almost irresistible. the two black men look like so many the officer has locked up. who white men do not. >> he used a line from the popular musical to drive home his point. listen. >> look around and you will find no one's really color blind. maybe it's a fact we all should face everyone makes judgments based on race. you should be grateful i did not try to sing that. [ laughter ] >> he also addressed minority communities during the speech asking them to recognize the dangers officers face trying to keep them safe. >>> parts of the northeast united states could be facing the possibility of back-to-back-to-back-to-back snowstorms. forecasters say a new weather system could bring arctic air to several northeastern states this weekend and potenti

we're asking brad blakeman republican strategist and professor of public policy at georgetown universitywelcome back to the show. we got done talking about wisconsin and scott walker's efforts there to contain costs lower costs. make the universities responsible for their own business but here the story is different. these are students standing up saying, i'm not paying that debt. is that the right thing to do? >> it is absolutely not the right thing to do. students should be told to be responsible. they the universities didn't come out to the got students. the students applied to the university. they knew exactly what they were getting into. they knew exactly what the costs were. they got student loans. now obligated to pay student loans back. got value for the service. they need to pay the service. no different than going into home depot and taking something that doesn't belong to you because you say you don't have the money. outrage for politicians to even tell students don't worry about the debt. yeah, worry about the debt. pay it back. be responsible. gerri: isn't this natural exten

. >> host: our guest william pomeranz is a teacher of this topic, russia issues at georgetown university here in washington, d.c. ivory from georgia, independent line. good morning. >> caller: good morning. mr. pomeranz, i have been trying to educate myself about what's happening in ukraine. so i have been looking on the internet. i have been looking on google earth to try and understand the geography of the area, and i don't understand why, when this was beginning, the ukrainian government didn't basically sever its ties with russia by destroying several key railroad bridges and even blowing up a few of the bridge or the roads that cross in to which would have eliminated all of russia ability to supply weapons and possibly even soldiers to the rebels. >> guest: the reality is, at the beginning of this crisis, in the aftermath of crimea, the ukrainian government didn't control the borders of ukraine. and clearly, the russians were able to take advantage of that and introduce a variety of weapons into eastern ukraine and send troops into eastern ukraine. so, the ukrainian government was n
