galvanized the initial conversation that made people pay attention to eric garner and tamir rice and john crawfordmemories of the 16 witnesses versus 2 who say his hands were up even that conversation is sad as it is about people's representations of young black men. i think it's real. i think it's raw. i think that we can't believe what intuitively is true unless we see it on video. says something not so great about the country but that needs to be said. >> what do you think, what would the eric garner attention level be without michael brown coming first? >> i know that here in new york city it probably would be on very, very high but nationwide i don't think people at berkeley would be protesting if eric garner didn't happen right after ferguson. >> there was a cumulative effect that happened there. my person of the year and the first time i've done this i actually agree with "time" magazine, the ebola doctors, the ebola nurses. these people bring a daily bravery to their work that is absolutely extraordinary. one of them was attacked by the government of new jersey. let's listen to what she ha
