are they outside agitators as malik shabazz suggests? are they both? >> they are all the above. they are all of the above. and they really are. and this is what they are intending to do. it would be nice if the s.w.a.t. teams didn't have to come out. it would be perfect if no gas had to be deployed, no smoke had to be deployed. but i can tell you, if we sit up -- if we sit back and do nothing and you have definitely seen my approach, but you've definitely heard those stores that say how can you stand there and watch them destroy my livelihood. >> sure. absolutely. we spoke to business owners today who said that they were losing money, i mean, hand over fist because even though lunchtime crowds wouldn't come, people wouldn't come because -- well, some of them were close bud they were afraid of what might happen. >> businesses are down 50% in ferguson. we did a piece an my show today about the victimized store owners. one of the questions is, are the police getting the right people? are they hitting the right people as opposed to hitting peace proful protesters? >> i know the peop

-based black lawyers for justice malik shabazz filed the lawsuit yesterday.med ferguson police used excessive force, made false arrests, illegal searches and seizures and violated civil rights. >> one of the officers threw me to the ground. >> i was shot probably seven times with my hands up. >> they slammed me on my face as if they were doing a technique move from the wwe. they're mopping my face on the concen y b keep mentioning 95 as a trouble spot, i have been on that road heading to philadelphia quite recently and it is a nightmare. so pack your patience. high temperatures in the low to mid-80s. 84 for a high in washington, 83 in frederick and culpeper, 81 at the patuxant river, so beautiful friday evening. as we look to labor day weekend, tomorrow it will be the most comfortable. three days. the humidity not too bad. we're keeping the forecast dry. sunday it will be the best chance of rain, especially later in the day. there could be an afternoon shower or thunderstorm but during the evening and overnight hours, likely tracking rain moving through the a

i want to listen to malik shabazz out on the street. >> we can't hear it from where we are.e is trying to get people. we have a shot of him here in the yellow shirt. he is trying to get people standing in. there he is. he was at the top of the hour, at 10:00 eastern trying to get that. saying that he called for a five-day moratorium on protests after sundown. and had hoped that he could help corral some of the violence tonight. and now it is all playing out here. but basically, what we have seen, bottle throwing and i'm not sure if it is rocks or what have you. but there is a very heavy police presence here. i want to talk to some of the members of the community here. shirley davis is here. she lives here in ferguson and also, pastor willis jones is here from the wellspring church. what do you make of what's going on, pastor? >> for many, it is necessary but it is sad, the magnitude and the, some of the decisions. but it is understandable in a lot of respects. i'm not condoning any one thing but we have to understand, there is a lot of frustration, a lot that has to be addre

>> we saw with malik shabazz. >> that was him, i'm sure. >> i can't name him, but what i did say i sawim doing last night, is forming a line between the police and the younger demonstrators who really were hungry for a clash. and tried to keep them separate. didn't work that well, ultimately it melted down into a flash last night. i have to assume that he's out here tonight again to try to assume some sort of position of leadership. and it looked last night like he was trying to minimize the extent they were clashing, sean. >> joining me now from ferguson, two store owners who had their businesses targeted by looters and rioters during the protest. welcome both of you to the program. sunny, tell us what happened to your >> well, on saturday night early morning i had a break-in. people were in my store basically looting. we called 911, the police said they can't do much about it. and they can't come in. i had to come in myself. after a few hours i was able to get into the street. the street was blocked, and it's just a complete devastation, looking at the place. the difference, what it

mike robinson is from the peace of mind church happiness and malik shabazz, a former chairman of the new black panther party. first of all, mr. shabazz, you have some news. you're making a request, you and other clergy members are making a request for the march this evening. >> absolutely. >> yes. we feel that marching up and down in this tight space on west florissant is a prescription for a melee with the police trying to move the people on the sidewalk. i'm going to reask the state troopers and the governor himself for permission from us based on our experience to get a five-mile march route to blow off steam and to get people a longer range to walk and get their first amendment rights going. so they don't have to get a large crowd here and run up against riot police which is a prescription for tear gas and disaster. we're asking for a larger march, longer march route. we would like it now. >> and pastor mike, there was a request by city officials that there not be any marching or protesting after dark. you're saying that is not going to happen. >> that cannot happen even the pres

we've seen malik shabazz, the lawyer activist from washington, d.c. who has been marching at the front of the group. a lot of local pastors also, local reverends. but people are on edge because of what has happened the nine previous nights, obviously. lots of alter indication alterc people said about mike brown earlier today. there was a separate incident in st. louis with 23-year-old african american brandishing a knife, behaving erratically. police came to the scene. this is four miles or so away from here. going up to the policeman who told him to drop the knife. he did not drop the knife. he said shoot me, kill me. and then he came at them with the knife. he came at them with the knife and the police killed him. so i've seen signs here tonight mentioning this other death. patiently completely unrelated to mike brown, except obviously in the eyes of many in the community, too many african american men, too many young african american men getting killed by police. big difference between an unarmed african american man and one with a knife coming at

. >> my name is malik shabazz. i'm the president of black lords for justice. as you well know on thursday night that my group and thanks to you my organizers along with the new black panther party and nation of islam that we are the ones that put those men in the street and we control the flow of traffic. i shut down the avenue at 2:00 and cleared everybody out. there were no incidents on thursday night. you were there. you witnessed that. what i'm saying is tonight with the curfew being at 12 midnight it seems to be a tight curfew line that could be a prescription for a confrontation. i don't know if it's as easy as it is asking people to leave at that time as you may believe it to be. what i'm saying is right now we're organizing and we have at least 100 or 150 men working with the various organizations i just name and the national action network to make sure that this doesn't deteriorate into a situation where everybody's tear gassed and demonstrators look bad and it turns that way. is there any way that the curfew could be pushed back some and that there a

when i say they, i mean the community, because the leaders came out, malik shabazz and others were saying and they were telling me that people were coming from chicago, coming from california, west virginia, and they're like, it's not us doing that. there probably are a few but they're saying mostly the people are coming here to steal from their stores, just to take advantage of the situation. >> what do they say they want, the real people from ferguson, because again we're dealing with a very small community here. >> um-hum. >> what do they want right now and what is their reaction to the police and security? >> they definitely want justice for what happened, you know. they're getting this treatment for holding signs and protesting, but the guy that shot somebody and murdered somebody at point blank range or in the back, however it will come out, he's, you know, in a house somewhere, you know, on paid leave or -- >> the officer you're talking about, shot versus murdered is a very big distinction, that is what the investigation is all about. do you get the sense people are following that

we also spoke with religious leaders, pastor mike and malik shabazz who are -- have played a more activeters and they say that's not happen package there are going to be protests. what they are asking for from police is that the path be longer than the two-mile or so path that happened yesterday but they want five miles to walk. so what happens tonight is going to be anyone's guess i would expect passions especially with the other death of an african-american man, this one armed with a knife in st. louis, i would expect the passions will be even more inflamed than they were last night. we've already seen people referring to that other death earlier today, brianna. >> real quick before i let you go, there have been some issues with the areas where you and other colleagues have been broadcasting from. when we go to cover these stories, we work with local officials in law enforcement so we know obviously where we're setting up so much equipment is okay. that we basically having permission to be there. what's going on as they are trying to move you? is that what's happening? >> well, they ca
