much like the media did and the police department with eric garner and much like they did with mike brownt for this video, there would only be one version. great deference is given to police officers. so when an officer says something, by and large, he's taken at his word. thank god for this cell phone video. now i'm hoping that the peck specktive jurors will understand that every now and then a police officer will be dishonest when he's excessive in the discharge of his duties, and now he has to manufacture a situation to justify something that's unjustifiable. >> and that video, cheryl, as you mentioned, showing mr. scott being shot in the back at least five times. certainly will be important in the case. cheryl dorsey, thank you so much for taking the time with us. >> thank you. >>> we are also hearing from the mother of officer slager. she says the shooting goes against her son's character and tells abc news she hasn't even watched the eyewitness video of the killing, because she is in denial at this point. >> i can't imagine him doing something that -- it's just not like him. it's no

the mike brown law which i pray and hope will happen, it makes a difference. let me quickly say this here. history happened this week in ferguson missouri. just as ferguson missouri they had three times as many people in that community come out and vote than they ever had in history, i think that was a direct response of our community saying, we're going to do something about them killing our children. and now we have three african-american policy makers out of ferguson. to answer your question directly. i think cameras are good because they let us know what happens that makes it transparent, that's what our community wants more than anything. and half of the police officers, if they didn't do anything wrong, they're exonerated right there, you have this cloud of position because nobody saw it it's questionable how you're shooting our little brother or sister in the back can translate or correlate your life being in danger, it makes no sense to us. i say this in light of walter scott, that we saw on video so many things we would never see on video it's about a

that what happened to freddie gray is happening to mike brown is happening to boyd is happening to oscar grant and the continuous other people across the country. there's a distinction we need to make between how do we define justice for them and how do we provide justice that provides justice for all black people. >> dante, let me suggest to you for filling the void for systemic racism i don't know in what orbit of the universal logical thinking that would line up with looting and taking cell phones. we can't go to lawlessness that because of oppression and because of barriers that gives you a license to completely abandon the law. we have never as a people found ourselves in reckless undisciplined behavior to be a reflection of our way of overall change. i think that it lives up to a stereotypical notion that we are a lawless, simple people with no standard conscience or barriers. i vehemently oppose the principle about what you suggest. >> i didn't say anything about breaking a law and condoning it. >> basical you disagree -- >> i said what is the appropriate level of response to stat

freddie gray, oscar grant mike brown, trayvon martin, and the list goes on, all lives cut short. today, their stories compel us to come to the house floor to join millions of americans around our nation in saying that like all lives, black lives also do matter. make no mistake, the issues rocking many communities are not a new phenomenon. these tragedies, yes, are part of a dark legacy of injustice born in the sufferings of the middle passage, nurtured through slavery and codified in jim crow. on april 4 1967, stanford university dr. king described these issues in his two americas speech. he said there's one america. one america is overflowing with the milk of prosperity and honey of opportunity. tragically and unfortunately there's another america. this other america has a daily ugliness about it that constantly transforms of hope into the fatigue of despair. the ugly fact is that two americas still exist nearly five decades later. an african-american male is killed by a police officer, a self-proclaimed vigilanty one in every 24 hours. a reason why men from communities of color

it change for antonio zambrano martez in washington, the hispanic version of mike brown, broad daylight, he puts his hands up and the police shoot him seven times. we saw it all on video. it didn't change for floyd dent in inkster, michigan. that's where the 57-year-old man who was driving his car, who had never committed any crime in his life retired from ford, and the police stopped him, beat the hell out of him and then if you believe mr. dent, planted cocaine in his car, and they took him to jail and he said no no, take a drug test, take my hair, do whatever, i've never used drugs in my life and he said, i didn't do anything, these police officers attacked me and then when you look in the background of the police officers who attacked him he had then charged before with planting evidence, he was found not guilty but they charged him in detroit and now he was with a small suburb police department and so you ask yourself, why don't we ever listen to our community versus just accepting the narrative? they accepted the narrative on floyd dent. he went to jail. he was well on his way of

change for eric gardiner itten did the change for antonio zambruno who is the hispanic version of mike brown. he puts his hands up and police shoot him seven times. it didn't change -- this was a 27-year-old man who was driving the car, who had never committed any crime in his life. and the police stopped him, beat him, and then, if you believe he planted cocaine in his car and they took him to jail, he said no, no, take a drug test, take my hair, whatever, i've never used drugs in my life, he said, i didn't do anything these police officers attacked me. he had been charged. he was found not guilty now he was with a small police department. and so you ask yourself why don't we ever listen to our community versus just accepting the narrative. they accepted the narrative, he went to jail he was well on his way of being convicted of a felon. and then the video came out. and you saw what these guys did. and you saw the evidence being planted. and so why do we keep accepting the standard police narrative. i felt in fear of my life, it happens over and over again. let me back up one quick second.

mike brown, eric garner just looking at those cases has that informed the way you view what happened i'm normally a pretty private person. i don't bother people. i don't like to be bothered. so sometimes, you know when dealing with the emotional scars i want the crawl in a hole and disappear. but i feel like i have an obligation to speak on behalf of the people that can't speak for themselves anymore. i don't know if you knew this. on the same day i was shot, osser car grant this oakland and adolf grimes in new orleans were with shot. we were all shot within 36 hours of oh each other. when you hear cases like that and trayvon martin, michael brown, jordan davis, jordan baker in houston. you know i have an obligation. i am the voice for the voiceless. that's what i try to focus on. >> i want to bring the table p in. i'm struck by the fact that when the shooting happened despite the fact that the young man involved is a baseball player had a level of of notoriety it didn't unleash the outrage we have seen in later cases. what's changed about the way the public looks at incidents betwee

i know this mike brown story. i know this trayvon martin story. i lived this as so much more in indiana university around my friend denver smith was killed. so we galvanized ourselves as student leaders around the killing of denver smith. and we couldn't accept the fact that denver had been shot inordinant number of times in his back. yet the police said they shot him in self-defense. how do you shoot somebody in self-defense in the back and he was unarmed? very difficult situation for me to lose a friend so early and to to be tied in that way. but denver smith was the moment and incident in my life. everyone of us has those moments. i hope it is not for those watching the death of a friend. everyone has the moments when our courage and our conviction and our commitment and our character are going to be tested and i hope that in those moments that i will always be ready to step forward but that denver smith moment was first time i was confronted how do you handle a crisis and use these kingian principles of love and non-violence and protest and pr

the mike brown law which i pray and hope will happen because i think it does mack ake a difference andwill be a fitting legacy for michael brown. let me quickly say this here. history happened this week in ferguson missouri. we in the house of god. and they say the ark is long but it bends towards justice. ferguson,s my, s mymissouri, they had three times as many people in that community come out and vote than they ever had in history. that's a direct response of our community saying we're going to do something about them killing our children. we have three african-american city commissioners out of ferguson missouri. that's history. and c-span is watching. that makes you applaud the individuals and so forth. to answer your question directly, i think cameras really are good because they let us know what happens makes it transparent. that's what our community wants. that's what we want more than anything. it helps the police officers if they didn't do anything wrong, they're exonerated right then. but when you have this cloud of suspicion because nobody saw him, it is questionable how y

the mike brown law, which i pray and hope will happen because i think it does mack ake a difference andwill be a fitting legacy for michael brown. let me quickly say this here. history happened this week in ferguson, missouri. we in the house of god. and they say the ark is long but it bends towards justice. ferguson,s my, s mymissouri, they had three times as many people in that community come out and vote than they ever had in history. that's a direct response of our community saying we're going to do something about them killing our children. we have three african-american city commissioners out of ferguson, missouri. that's history. and c-span is watching. that makes you applaud the individuals and so forth. to answer your question directly, i think cameras really are good because they let us know what happens, makes it transparent. that's what our community wants. that's what we want more than anything. it helps the police officers if they didn't do anything wrong, they're exonerated right then. but when you have this cloud of suspicion because nobody saw him, it is questionable ho

i think this moment is a pivotal moment but i also think that eric garner was a pivotal moment mike brown see the murters of black people at hand of law enforcement becomes a moment where the nation has to really look at what law enforcement is really doing, and i don't think that body cameras are the end all and be all answer. i think that body cameras are a way but it's not the way. >> why not? why the skepticism of body cameras? >> well i think that we've seen so many murders on camera and although north charleston is moving in the correct direction in convicting this officer with murder, we don't think that murder charges will ultimately provide accountability to law enforcement. we think that there's a vicious cycle inside of law enforcement across the country. we see it's a national crisis and we need to really redefine public safety. we need to look at public safety from a different lens and need to see public safety as black communities and poor communities having access to education, access to jobs and housing, and we need to redefine the role of law enforcement because right now

. >>> happening later today, the family of mike yoel brown is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of ferguson. now, we knew this was coming. we just did not know exactly when. last night lawyers for the family announced they were going to file that lawsuit later today. the lawsuit will also likely name former officer darren wilson who shot and killed brown. wilson resigned from the police department back in november. brown's shooting led to, of course, often violent protests in ferguson and the rest of the country for that matter. a national movement calling for changes in how police deal with minorities. >>> the big one is coming but new research released the shaking won't stop there. the study was done by scientists at ufc. their findings suggest the big one will be followed by a flurry of other big ones. massive earthquake will be bigger than magnitude 7.7 and hit somewhere along the san andres a fault. now, this new research shows the dwak that big will probably trigger additional large shakers on nearby faults. a separate study presented along with the one from ufc 1

mike: nats fans are crying foul urging the team to bring back the tradition of playing chuck brown's se" after home runs and what you might call a bat and switch "busting loose" was replaced by "bang-bang." >> i don't know them like i know chuck. mike: more than 500 people have signed this petition lobbying for a reversal. even d.c. council members are weighing in. >> we did invest a lot of money in that stadium. we have some say. >> it represents d.c. it gets us fired up! >> i feel like "busting loose". mike: in a survey of 10 nationals fans every single one of them said they like "busting loose" better. while we did encounter a couple of supporters of the song "bang, bang" even loyal fans say in washington, the king of go-go rules supreme. >> i love niki minaje. mike: a spokesperson of chuck brown says they've been appreciative of the respect paid to him and d.c. if they feel another song is appropriate, that's their prerogative. his family members deeply appreciate the display of support in favor of the song over the past 24 hours. it's gratifying to know how much it means to the f
