what are your thoughts on this day with regards to michael brown and also how black americans in thistem well, first thanks for having me. i think today, nine years after mike brown was killed, we have most reflect on. in my view, the uprising of 2020, after the killing of george floyd, was in many respects something that builds on the response to the killing of mike brown in 2014, so the organising, the creation of hashtags, the use of twitter to spread the message across the country and across the world, activists on the grounds leading protests and, ultimately, pushing for policy change — all of that really began in earnest in 2014 on august 9. so i think that legacy is something we can reflect on as a meaningful, enduring legacy of this day nine years ago. well, nine years on, you are now representing the families of both michael brown and also rekia boyd who have turned to international law in a bid for accountability. why did they do that? well, we began this process actually even back in 2014 with the understanding that oftentimes when you are appealing for justice from the sam

the legacy of michael brown is, i think, yet to be fully determined. for black change, not just for black americans, change, notjust for black americans, but for people around the world's americans, but for people around the worlds in terms of the recreation of brand—new platforms, working in the international platform we've got international un mechanisms and police violence they did not exist before. you've got people like myself who were exploring new ways to use the justice system, activists, organisers, people thinking about black lives matter in a way they did not think about on august 201a. so he changed the landscape of how the voice of the people was amplified all around the world's the people was amplified all around the worlds and that's a great legacy to have in and of itself. in hope one day we go to a place where we can say that his legacy is the end of police brutality and the creation of safer communities for people, notjust in the united states, but for people around the world who are facing racist police violence. but we are not yet a

i want to circle back if we have time about michael brown. hands up, don't shoot.and and media running with that do you talk about that in your book but on this point in your book, which tells a wonderful story but it's also a manual for successful policing and all the logic and, the strategies and the data is here. and you show again and again and that it works and has for hundreds of years. going back to robert peel in the early 19th century in in great britain. and yet we after putting hard work reducing crime, it's succeeding. we then turn back on these strategies and we get into this cycle and you can just see the cycle coming again and again. how do we break that cycle and just maintain our foot on the gas of solid policing? i wish i had the answer to that at the moment, one of the great frustrations not having i'm no longer technically in the business and a longer police chief serve on the homeland security advisory council for the secretary. i stay very active in a lot of policing issues through my. books as well as opinion columns i write tv appearances, c

obviously hussein crime wave and what we can trace back what we see now to michael brown.ave a guy go into a store and steal cigars and go proceed to pull police officers gun, michael brown, hands up don't shoot emma ferguson and the media and the left said he was the victim when he was the criminal and you still have people like cory busch say he died because of white supremacy even though obama's department of justice proved otherwise michael brown was in the wrong so how do we have a functioning society in the environment? >> anita, react to this. san francisco chronicle, they have a good idea, they said crime is so bad did san francisco federal building employees are told to work from home so instead we are throwing the white flag of surrender. all right, we can't solve this, this work from home. how about the person who works at walgreens? can they work from home while they see shoplifters left and right and have to confront them if need be? >> they can't work at walgreens because they are closing because of the crime. they can't stay open. can i go back to this atlan

and on the ninth aniversary of the killing of michael brown, in ferguson, missouri, his family and civilou with us. the bbc is just now learning that ecuadorian presidential candidate fernando villavicencio has been assassinated. villavicencio, a member of the country's national assembly, was attacked after leaving a campaign event in the northern city of quito. he was also a notable anticorruption campaign.

that is michael brown. the last time we heard from him, he said i just got this case about 30 minutes ago. now we're hearing from the defense attorney for rex heuermann with a little bit more information under his belt. he's met with his client a couple times. he said he was emotional when they first met. now he's focused on his defense. let's bring in bob, the attorney for rex heuermann's wife. very good to have you here today. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: i thought it was interesting in that quick interview with michael brown, he asked does he wife, heuermann's wife, think he's innocent. does she? >> well, the only thing that his wife knows about the charges is what is relayed by the press. like mr. brown just said, we're not trying it in the press. the only thing she's heard is from the media. she has no independent knowledge, no recollection of what the dates she was in the country, when she went on vacation 10 to 12 years ago. she doesn't have any judgment of guilt or inno

you know, uproar and the the conflict and everything that was happening in the aftermath of michael brown's death, you know, in ferguson really became a shorthand for all the social that was going on at time. can you talk a little about, you know, in a book that you wrote that comes out of that, you know, they can't kill all? can you talk a little bit about how this book relates to your prior one? certainly and i actually do see these books in conversation with each other in some ways. and i imagine that i imagine that, you know, where i work on another book it might it would feel very different these two feel like they're that that they have something to say to each other and and what i mean by that is, you know, they they can't kill us all in ferguson the rise of you know what's commonly known as black lives matter as a protest movement in a new era of our long civil movement in. many ways grows out of it as a reaction, as a response to. the obama presidency. right. that this is a movement of young people. many whom are mobilized into politics through. the obama candidacy, who they're ent

and on the ninth anniversary of the killing of michael brown in ferguson, missouri, his family and civilu with us. a candidate in ecuador�*s upcoming presidential election has been assassinated. fernando villavicencio was attacked after leaving a campaign event in the capital, quito. mr villavicencio was a member of the country�*s national assembly, as well as a notable anti—corruption candidate. a member of his campaign team told local media that he was about to get into a car when a man stepped forward and shot him in the head.

joining me now is michael d. brownsh 43 geno auriemma administrator and now a nationally syndicated radio host. all right, michael, you have seen the president's non-comments really on the fires in hawaii. i guess he is going to go next monday. how do you rate this response so far? >> well, let's differentiate the response from biden's response. because biden's response is an abject failure. no comment? with regard to going to hawaii, if he wants to go to honolulu and meet with the governor, that's fine. but i can tell you from personal experience that if he goes to maui, it will interrupt operations. because the united states secret service will put an air cap over maui. they won't let any helicopters fly. it will be a complete disaster. mr. president, can you go to honolulu. you can get your photo op. talk to the governor, but i would encourage to you frankly stay away for a little while and let fema, who needs to be on the ground let them be on the ground doing their job right now. >> laura: so the possibility of go

this was days after michael brown. ways in which black people lose their lives they have to encounter police. police coming, not trained to deal with the situation, having stereotypes about black people -- not just lack men. the person who killed michelle said that his life was in danger from this 5'2" woman because of the look in her eyes. we are looking at stereotypes about black women, where they are never seen as damsels in distress, just as likely to be seen as threats as their male counterparts. which is why although black women are less than 10% of the population, account for more than 1/5 of the people killed by the police. these are the stories that we need to have in order to have the whole expanse of vulnerability. only when you have the full story can you actually demand the transformation that are necessary to protect people against this particular risk. amy: professor crenshaw, you are now in martha's vineyard, where you have just completed a session on critical race theory. you coined this term. of cours

after the 2014 death of michael brown in ferguson and the subsequent protests and unrest president obama assembled a task force charged with developing a for policing in the 21st century. the task force issued policy recommendations, but its central insight was that policy change isn't enough. alone to ensure good policing. there's an old saying the task noted organizational culture eats policy for lunch. any law enforcement organization can make great rules and policies, the report continued. but if policies conflict with existing culture, they will not be institutionalized and behavior will not change change. despite the report's emphasis for reform, typically aim at regular or limiting the power of police not changing police culture. politicians and pundits talk occasionally about the need for law enforcement officers view themselves as guardians rather warriors. but it's difficult to know that distinction entails. let alone how agencies could move in such a direction. it's as though policymakers can't imagine. what ethical, effective democratic policing might look like. but the cultu

michael earl, wayne, anthony has since left the industry. he's also been fined $1,500 by the state's bureau of security and investigative services, not for killing brown, but for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. and for not wearing a required badge. identifying him as a guard. vera says it was up to the guard to follow the regulations. but he says the state needs to allow guards to use less lethal weapons other than tasers, which require you to be close to the suspect. a secondary protocol to go to that would be most effective before they reach for their weapon in the home depot incident, authorities say the guard opened fire after the suspect grabbed the guard's own baton and hit him with it. as far as our rules of engagement are, officer acted appropriately, he says the two incidents are proof that criminals are brazen enough to steal, even in the presence of guards. it's open season for anyone to walk in and believe that they have the right to take something. now, he tells me the security company has since lost its contract with about 25 walgreen stores after the bango brown shooting. mike henry lee live tonight in the newsroom. henry,
