riley from the huffington post speaking to chris hayes.e was arrested and released tonight, along with washington post reporter wesley lowery, who we just spoke to on this program. they were manhandled a bit while arrested. neither said they were hurt, neither one of them was seeking to get arrested, they were both arrested while covering the protest tonight in ferguson, missouri. joining us now is liz brown. an attorney and columnist for the st. louis american. i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you, rachel. >> the police in ferguson today asked for protests to only happen during daylight. from the outside it doesn't seem like the temperature is dropping, the authorities are reallidy fwuzing anything, what's your sense of how things are right now. >> my sense is that -- if we start with talking about just that direction, protesters are not supposed to assemble after dark, it's kind of baffling, it is a direction that i think that will lead to more problems, and it's baffling because how do the police officers explain themselves in t

check out today's front page of "the huffington post." i want to bring in lieutenant general russell honore, and mike brooks and legal analyst joey jackson. >> thanks, carol, good morning. >> good morning. >> michael, was this level of police response necessary? >> it depends on again who threw, was there rocks being thrown? they said there were rocks and molotov cocktails. i didn't personally in all the video i've seen coming in to cnn see any molotov cocktails. it was otherwise if -- if there were being thrown rocks and bottles and molotov cocktails then they had to respond in-kind but they have to make sure that they have a good command and control incident commander there on the scene. we heard chief tom jackson from ferguson police department during a presser say that each night there is an incident commander there, but you've got a number of different law enforcement agencies there, but ultimately it comes back on chief jackson. if i were he, if i were chief jackson this morning i'd get my incident commanders together saying look, f

gawker, jezabel, ebony, daily dot, huffington post. all of these wrote articles about it.he next thing, here comes msnbc and cnn. missouri. >> it's a story that's breaking it. >> once that unrest escalated to the point where we started to see almost a militarization of the police response in that area, it became an international story and i think clearly, that's when we started to see a bigger media presence. >> once mainstream news coverage started working in tandem with social media and the coverage moved beyond the flash points, the rest of america started to get the context behind the social unrest. black. it's police: more than 90s % white. they saw a mil tarized police force, one of many in the u.s. to inherent second-hand equipment from the pentagon and officers dressed like rambos treating citizens liken me from a foreign land. they saw on the streets of ferguson the kind of social inequality that black americans routinely complain of but seldom see explored in a comprehensive way in the mainstream media. social media started out by driving the news coverage and th

joe huffington served 23 years in prison for a crime he may not have committed because of mishandled>> there were two hairs found at the scene, one on the bedsheet and one on the garter belt of the victim. that was the key evidence of the prosecution. that's what put him at the time and place of the murders. in 1999 an intern report found problems with what michael malone had done in the huffington case much. >> we are looking through a microscope. you don't know how many characteristics to match, you can choose it. it depends upon the person downing the analysis, not fact. standard. >>> we knew that there were problems with the technique. there are many documented cases where numbers, including michael malone, but not limited to michael malone, have matched carpet fibres to head hair. he had excluded hairs, without explaining why he excluded hairs. he matched hairs without explaining why. he hadn't tape hair samples from all the people who may have been in -- taken hair samples from all of the people that may have been in contact with the body. >>> results. >> absolutely. this is a

the huffington post here says that france has finally put its foot down.t is taking some action and is trying to once again find its place on the international stage . >> another top stories russia's decision to ban agricultural products for many western countries. >> absolutely. let's start with this cartoon. you can see putin threatening europe on the top, saying, if you shanks in me i will retaliate. and then europe says, how will you behave if we don't sanction you? and putin says just as badly but it won't be retaliation. and here you can see the headline, russia's ban risks deeper isolation. what does this mean for the countries involved? here in france, the business paper does the math. what will this cost? exports of $1 billion in food products to russia, mainly meat, cheese, and apples. this could have an impact on the french economy and could spark a wider trade war. >> one of the questions is how it will impact russian consumers. >> that is what the moscow times is wondering today. this ban will strike russia's own consumers. they are the real v

but thousands of other bloggers write for the huffington post, but they cannot live off their work. >> i am not paid to write my articles. i do it as part of my work in part of being a thought leader in the industry. i don't get paid to write the article. i do it because i enjoy it and like the interaction... >> without the internet, even a respected person from the new york times would not have a future because it's income is generated by advertising links. gabrielle dark now works for the guardian newspaper but it was once his job to retain as many new york times readers as possible. but our ability to tell stories has gone from simply print and photographs to interactive to maps, to different types of games, to video and relate to all of those combined. >> this is one of the computer games invented for the new york times. it addresses an issue found in articles in the paper -- the dangers of writing text messages while driving. >> one of the strengths is that it really engages the reader, games or something they actively participate in. as soon as you have one of your readers engag

ryan really of the huffington pose and wesley lowery were working inside mcdonald's when officers in s.w.a.t. gera riefd and told them to leave. >> can i move my -- >> you can move your car if your car is out here. let's go. >> it is. >> both reporters were handcuffed, taken into custody but no charges were filed. riley spoke to cbs news about the incident. >> on my way out, the officer who refused to identify himself by name or badge number pressed his finger up to a pressure point on my neck and -- and forced my hands behind my back as he cuffed me and subsequently purposefully banged my head into the door of the mcdonald's on the way out and then sarcastically apologized. the use of force especially initially was -- seems to me to be antagonistic and unnecessary and, yeah, just really i think escalated the situation more than protectedyo lowery were released after they were notified of their arrest. the washington post released a statement calling the arrest unjustified and an assault on press free come. the "huffington post" bureau chief wrote compared to some others who have com

both wesley lowery from the "washington post" and ryan reilly from "the huffington post" claim they were handcuffed after not packing up fast enough. lowery captured part of his run-in on his cell phone. >> get your stuff, let's go. >> i'm working on it. >> stop videotaping. let's grab our stuff and go. >> it's my right to videotape you. >> grab your stuff and go. >> you see me working. please do not tell me not to use my -- >> time to go. let's go. we're down to about 45 seconds. let's go. >> now, is the street, can i ask you -- >> let's go! it's not the time to ask questions. let's go. you can move your car if your car's out here. >> it is. that's what i'm asking. >> let's go! >> i'm working on it, sir. >> let's go. there's a door over here. let's go! >> i'm going to -- >> let's go. you can move. let's go. move -- >> sir, please -- >> let's move! let's move! >> so, last night, lowery told msnbc's rachel maddow what allegedly happened when the camera stopped rolling. >> then tried to direct me towards another door. i said, officers, where would you like me to go? as i turned to follow t

joining me is huffington post's howard fineman and clarence page. it's a tough situation for the president to be in. the unfortunate reality is there is a crowd out there that's just waiting for him when situations like this oh occur. just waiting for him and they want the to stoke the worse impulses out there. we have seen it before. >> i was wondering how long it would take before the first right winger comes along to accuse president obama of dividing america by race. his statement was neutral and even handed. he said both sides are responsible. he didn't address race as much as justice and the proper use of force need for a proper investigation, et cetera, which is fine. look at the contrast with statements about zimmerman, trayvon, henry lewis gates. in my mind he was reassuring black americans they will get a measure of justice. it was immediately interpreted by newt gingrich and other people on the right as dividing americans by race. it's already divided. look at the footage from ferguson. >> what clarence is talking about there jumped out a

. >> journalists from the washington post and huffington post were also arrested last night and then released without charge. they were detained while filing reports from a mcdonald's restaurant near the protests. the ferguson police department continues to withhold the name of the officer who shot brown, citing threats on his life. the ferguson chief of police tom jackson said the unidentified officer was injured during his confrontation with michael brown. jackson also called on protesters to end nighttime demonstrations. >> he was injured. the side of his face is swollen. he was taken to the hospital and treated for that. we would like to protesting to and at dark come just because, as you probably know, it has been unsafe after dark. shottnesses say brown was with his arms up as he tried to flee the officers fire. on wednesday, officials confirmed the justice department has opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. usa today reports the justice department will also conduct a national review of police tactics in response to the ferguson shooting and similar in

arrested and physically assaulted by police last night those journalists were ryan reilly of the huffington post and wesley lowery of the washington post the two reporters had been working in a mcdonald's not too far from the scene of the incident when a swat team stormed into the restaurant and demanded that everyone immediately evacuated soon after the two journalists began recording the police activity and here's a look at some of the footage. what's going on we're going to stop videotaping autographed art of everything else in the rigidities or hurry up what you know he's going to get what you know you see where. he's going to not enough time to go and look you know you know we were down about forty five seconds until. you get on board. the words you're going to now isn't this let's go but you know john and i'm john edwards and george will is going to be like i mean this is your car for cars out here let's go that is what i was asking you not going to let you go community let's go that's when the journalists were told to stop the proceedings and leave right away and when they didn't the

you have you know alternate new sources huffington post r t al-jazeera basically aiming a beam at them they're not used to that they used to do it more large corporate mainstream outlets who are just going to really just cover perhaps play by the ruling by their own little talk to the public information officer generally say the local press is probably covered some officer friendly kind of events they're not used to this and they're not used to the social media coverage that especially african-americans are focused on this so that's another aspect there were social media has really focused our attention on this and we actually heard president obama speak about this very issue earlier this afternoon let's take a quick listen to what he had to say and here in the united states of america police should not be bowing or arresting journalists who are just trying to do their jobs and report to the american people on what they see on the ground. put simply we all need to hold ourselves to a high standard so basically came to the defense of these journalists do you think that that was very str

but ryan riley of the huffington post got picked up by police, and then ultimately released, he did an interview this past hour, the s.w.a.t. force invaded the mcdonalds where he was trying to send out a report and charge his phone. he was there along with wesley lowery with the washington post. officers decided we weren't leaving mcdonald's quickly enough and we shouldn't have been taping them. he tweeted from the scene that officers slammed him into a soda machine, because he was confused about which door they wanted him to walk out of. wesley was detained and released, he said there were no charges filed against him, and he says there will be no police report. the chief thought he was doing you a favor. the police officer told him about being released. this is day four of the conflict in ferguson, missouri, since michael brown was killed by a police officer there. and thus far, it does not feel like the conflict is getting better. from the scenes in the street up to and including the armored vehicle with a cop on top with his gun trained at peaceful protesters in broad daylight toda

i would like to reiterate what "the huffington post" reporter said. this is a symptom, all over the country, of the police not being mandated to protect and serve, but being wasn't in a be soldiers in the county next to ours they gave them the -- the pentagon gave them $1 million vehicle from iraq. now, why they would need a bomb explosion proof vehicle for made for military combat, it changes the mindset of the police from being there to serve the public to being there to oppress the public. and they shoot people over the most ridiculous things. they put eight bullets into somebody. host: you might be interested in a piece in today's "usa today" editorial, pentagon helps fuel the ferguson confrontation. the pentagon might not have boots on the ground but it has wheels on the streets. the media relations chief confirmed that the ferguson police department is part of a federal program called 1033 that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars of surplus military commit to police forces across the united states, small items such as pistols and automat

if you watch that tape in full, on 23 separate occasions, that officer asked west lowery and the huffington post reporter to move. how do ryan and wes know what's going on out in the street where they can resist that order. before that video was shot, wes lowery was asked for identification for which he refused. this was clearly an action to provoke that officer. i'm going to stop you there. they were packing up their computer equipment which was plugged. >>. >> really? >> secondly, i'm sure you don't condone slamming reporters heads into glass doors and soda machines. thirdly, the charges were so filmsy that the police chief shouldn't have arrested them. >> they shouldn't have been arrested. i'm not advocating that. how do you pack up when you're pointing a camera at somebody? here is how you know this was all about wes lowery expanding his television career. right after he was released from custody, it was all about tweeting out, calling maddow now, going on cnn, msnbc after that, fox, as well. this was a media tour that was only rivaled by hillary clinton's all in the efforts to give wes

they even went so far as to arrest two reporters from the washington post and "huffington post." governor jay nixon said he's replacing the police with the missouri highway patrol as missouri prepares for nightfall. >> there is never an excuse for violence against police, or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. there's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests, or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights. now is the time for healing. now is the time for peace and calm on the streets of ferguson. >> the question, is ferguson and the missouri governor jay nixon overmilitarizing the town? your thoughtsweñ÷ on that? serious show of forks right? >> there are three angles to this story. there's the left and the right and libertarian. the left sees this tragedy, uses it to brand society as a pit of racial injustice. the right uses it often to lecture on culture and lawlessness. the libertarians for the militarization of police. every one of those perspectives is correct. there a

but there are rules according to the huffington post on hugging in general. >> first of all hugging in the first place. it said it's okay to hug your peers but never hug people who supervise you. >> why wouldn't you? i've done it. >> jerry and roap are hugging right now of the don't do that guys, really hoda is a major hugger. >> why are you offended by it. >> i don't want to be hugged by just everybody and anybody. there's certain people i enjoy a hug from. other people i'm just a little uncomfortable. >> the worst hug is the first one. don't even go in. >> one of the worst things is oh, you look like you need a hug. >> i hate that. >> and you go you look like you need a slap. >> sometimes i'm unclear whether it's okay to go in for the hug. >> if you open up your arounds and you're like i'm here -- and she always come in. he says never hug from behind. don't surprise people that way. and finally they say don't ever do this. don't close your eyes or whisper, you smell good when you're hugging people professionally. >> you have whispered that to people. i think it's a great compliment.

shop owners don't happily return to their huffington post podcast. some has been fair.ne in particular -- >> rhymes with pnn. >> qle yes. it does remind pnn and the c stands for the cops not needed network. dr. michael baden couldn't have been more clear. he said there's no specific series of event that this autopsy can confirm. there's no specific #act pattern, yet on the air one of the an kors said the results of this autopsy now confirm what protesters believe to be true. reporting that as fact. that is completely untrue. it's irresponsible, leading the guest is very irresponsible and these ear buds that i emailed last night, the reporter for the huffington post, i think we have the full screen really wanted these ear plugs to be rubber bullets, he put out a tweet can anyone confirm are these rubber bullets? no. when they do leave, you are going to have a lot of those business owners left to pick up the pieces. >> eric, we just heard talking about the up coming day of rage. is that something reporters should be talking about? >> coming up. >> he's reporting what's go
