justice would be a living breathing mike brown or definitely an arrest of darren wilson.ther of which we have. the ferguson police department has proven that they are no longer fit to police. many of us would see it to be some sort of justice for the police department to be disbanded and all officers fired. officer knowles is capable of leading. none of this is justice. justice would be accountability for lives lost or never experiencing the trauma in the first place. >> deray mckesson, thanks for being with us. deray, a witness to the shooting of the police officers in ferguson missouri. deray believes it wasn't the protesters themselves in the shooting but the shots came from nearby. >> it sounds that is what law enforcement is saying. it came from somewhere near there targeting those police officers. >>> we will follow this breaking news from ferguson all morning long. two police officers shot in ferguson, missouri. the very latest next. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news. protests turn violent in ferguson missouri. two police officers shot. wha

that slogan from mike brown's death and ñook at the evidence here.t they talk about how there's clear racial bias, there's racism in the ferguson police department. whether we like it or not, some of those things have spilt over into what became the mike brown case. it's not necessarily policing that's the problem. it's not the fact that he robbed a store. the problem is with bias and racism. when i go to manhattan and i can't catch a cab, that's bias and racism. >> the report did find there was bias within the department, however that didn't have anything to do with@j )(q) wilson's shooting and killing of michael brown. >> had nothing to do with it. in fact eric holder who jumped the gun along with his boss president obama who compared the ferguson situation to isis and to russia invading the ukraine and he did this before the united nations which was a thorough embarrassment, especially since they found no charges against darren wilson, they jumped the gun and helped create an atmosphere and set the stage. by the way, i think all three of us agree,

after a violent protests erupted in ferguson, missouri over the shooting death of 18-year-old mike's brown the justice department finds troubling details of the city's police department. 67% of ferguson's population is black. but between 2012 and 2014 they accounted for 85% of people pulled over by ferguson police and 93% of people arrested. when police used force, nearly nine times out of ten, they used it against blacks. the report also details a 2008 e-mail an official wrote president obama would not be president very long because, "what black man hold a steady job for four years" last month, cbs news asked ferguson police chief tom jackson whether his department was biased. >> there is not a racial problem in the police department. >> reporter: when mike's brown was shot and killed by ferguson police officer darryl wilson last august, just three of the department's 53 officer was black. >> they criminalize us more in this community. >> reporter: 49-year-old terri franks lived in ferguson 19 years. >> ticket after ticket after ticket. >> reporter: she says this lap full of traffic ticke

know that, the intersection in light of what has happened in the past year, eric garner, ferguson, mike brown. >> how should we acknowledge this. >> that's why it is so critically important. and for many young folks this is something that is unprecedented. i grew up in an era where i rebel know. i remember black plus brutality, in new york city, and we know there's even a longer history so black history month helps us to be able to connect the dots. and particularly this moment where we have access to archives visual archives audio archives that's unprecedented in terms of what kind of access we have. we can literally do black history month every day, more than 28 days, why simply decide to roll out the marketing plan. on january 15th instead of thinking about rolling out the marketing plan for the whole year, and i think part of it has to do with the fact there are folks folks that don't want americans to know their history. because if they know american history, and that's even not even inclusive of the black experience with that, folks can connect dots and realize that some of the things t

and now the second part the entire nation is focused on ferguson because of the mike brown shooting andhe ferguson and everybody owes it to their own citizenry, and the rest of us to say to ferguson, we are not going to allow this to continue. that is why i think that the ferguson police department should be reconstituted under doj supervision, not because every officer is bad, but because there is so little trust, and we have such an opportunity to say, look we found it in ferguson, and we know it exists in a thousand other towns in america, but we want to show you that when we find it in ferguson, and we can fix it, and five years from now, or three years from now, we can look back and say, ferguson is a police department that has respect and earned the respect of the community. if we don't do that, the frustration is going to continue and more ferguson and more problems. >> van, do you believe that the ferguson police department should be reconstituted and disbanded and have the st. louis county police patrol the streets? >> i do. and i also think that darren wilson's attorney does m

the death of mike brown has opened up, if you will a pandora's box of problem in terms of inequities and racial bias. in our system of governance and certainly the criminal justice system. when you look at the statistics it's not just ferguson. it's all over st. louis county which may mean all over missouri, all over the country. do you think this is the beginning of a movement to address the problem? >> i hope so but i'm not entirely sure. i'm not entirely sure because what would it take to actually address or fix the problem is quite radical from the communities involved. take the st. louis county area. i happen to think the single best thing you can do to reform the area is to get rid of the municipalities. to merge them and the surrounding neighbors into a single municipality that could share services. it didn't have to have multiple police forces. that had larger constituencies more political account about. the practice of having dozens of tiny municipalities breed this kind of abuse, and i think the ultimate step you have to take is just to get rid of them. but i'm not sure tha

that is merely represented by ferguson, ferguson is not alone in this, but when darren wilson shot mike brown and yes he has been cleared by the department of justice of violating mr. brown's civil righties, but when that moment happened, the attention of the nation was drawn to what is a fundamental conversation that has to happen. we always talk about the conversation that we need to have about race, well, we're having it now, and the conversation that just begun with the department of justice report on ferguson. that wasn't an end point that was the beginning. >> how do you keep the peace in a place like ferguson when the people who are supposed to keep that peace now find themselves under the microscope, as well. >> that's precisely why we see the resignation of the city manager. we see the resignation of thomas jackson and the police chief in ferguson. you point out that this is a man with 30 years in history in law enforcement, in st. louis and neighboring counties with that we have the missouri supreme court assigning a state judge to oversee going forward as i say this is the start of

and i continue to stand with mike brown's family and with the peaceful protesters who are part of ferguson. and please understand that mr. brown's family has experienced a tragedy like none of us, not many of us can say week of also experienced. so, my prayers go out to that family. at this point i'll yield back to the chair and take any questions. mr. butterfield: thank you. i also recognize that the other c.b.c. member from the state of missouri is present with us today and supports our work. mr. cleaver. mr. cleaver passes. at this time i'm going to recognize the assistant leader of the house democratic caucus no stranger to anyone in this room, mr. clyburn. mr. clyburn: thank you very much, mr. chairman. i thank you so much for bringing the nation's attention to this very, very critical problem. but i want to emphasize one thing. when i went to ferguson, i found out it's not just ferguson. there are townships or jurisdictions that seem to be all around st. louis with this problem, it's very pronounced. i could not believe it when one person told us, having been ticketed three times in

mike brown's life mattered. if we can't have a community at the end of the day that includes our police what are we out here for? we shouldn't be shooting anyone. >> the department of justice who is being heralded for condemning the ferguson police department has to be recognized for saying darren wilson is not guilty for killing michael brown in cold blood without warrant. you can't say the ferguson department has to be gutted and the michael brown conclusion was collect. >> law enforcement they work for me. you mess with them you mess with me. we trust the department of justice to do their job, we hope. the fact of the matter is the leadership is not standing up and saying that blue lives matter right now the way they did when they say black lives matter. all lives matter, the last in the video was the most heart felt. there is a moral justification going on for killing of cops. >> there has been a lot of stirring the pot out there. you mentioned blue lives matter. while the president is tweeting a single twee

you know what the doj report says about the mike brown shooting.ys about the culture of policing right? if you give respect to both findings doesn't that help build community? >> and that's why i say it's an and thing. we in the african-american community, we've been told for years to forget about slavery. forget about what has happened to us. so i think what happens in this narrative, we have to keep what happened to mike brown in the forefront so that it's not forgotten. let's not forget what happened to these young men all across this country when the limelight is put on when the tables are turned. we bring them both simultaneously together. so that as our counterparts in the jewish community does so often, we will never forget what happened. if we allow it to be pushed under the rug, our next generations will not be reminded of what has happened to the past. >> and the message is obviously very strong coming from you and hopefully it spreads, that this isn't just something that happened. this isn't a distraction. changing this community, part o

general of the united states eric holder, he's had ferguson missouri in his crosshairs ever since the mike brownrek brown situation had a predetermined mindset going into this investigation. and i think it's what we're seeing here. i'm not buying one word of his conclusion here. it's because the attorney general doesn't have any integrity anymore. this is the only attorney general in the history of the department of justice that's been found in contempt of congress for not supplying congress with the reports that they needed to conduct their investigation. now, he goes into ferguson, missouri, and other cities across the united states, and he demands information and reports to see what's going on there. if i were the chief of ferguson at the time, i would have said mr. holder, i'll be more than glad to hand over all the information and reports you need as soon as you supply congress with the information they need so they can conduct their investigation. you know, i think it's a sad day i really do. i think that eric holder has an animosity, a genuine hostility toward local law enforcement, speci

somebody tweeted out mike brown got a speech and 40 doj investigators, two police officers get a tweet. and yet to defend the president and the attorney general for that matter in almost every statement they have made from the beginning of this case they have been -- they have taken pains to defend law enforcement. eric holder pointing out i think it's his brother is a law enforcement officer. you know, they always acknowledge the sacrifice that law enforcement officers make and the danger to them. >> you know, their doing what's politically expedient. on one hand they say those things and then on the other hand they go around saying things like when the president said our police are poorly trained and they have a fear of people who do not look like him. when the attorney general of the united states invokes the name of emmitt till and says that's symbolic of what happened in ferguson, missouri. emmitt till wasn't even a law enforcement officer. but when they make those sort of statements they are fanning the flames of racial discord. and so they're having it both ways which is what re
