i want to thank all the members of the city of montgomery, montgomery police department, montgomery firend rescue, all of our employees, as well as everyone in our community that has been so helpful regarding the situation that brings us here today. as you all know we had an unfortunate event to take place over the weekend downtown montgomery on our riverfront, something that was brought on by reckless individuals who did not use good judgment and caused an event that certainly was avoidable. that said, the police department reacted very swiftly, very intentionally to address the matter, as did other citizens in the community. and so at this time we wanted to bring forth some information that we did not have as our investigation continues to report to the public. so i have with me chief darryl albert, the chief of the montgomery police department, who will update you on the status of this event and how things are going in the investigation at this point. but, again, we want to thank all the members of the public, all of our first responders, everyone who has been helpful, witnesses, in b

we welcome folks to come, montgomery's open.lated incident and again we are going to move forward from this. >> can you tell, me, sir where arrests might happen? you talked about more charges, but do you see more arrests happening as well? >> well, we are surely looking at every piece of evidence that has come in. we have hundreds of videos and witness statements at this time and, you know, i would say at this point it is highly likely that more arrests and more individuals will face charges. >> okay, so more arrests and more people facing charges. i want to take a look at this video, a lot of people talking about the man wielding a folding chair during the brawl. important to know that he is being put in restraints by officers doing this, and you are still looking to speak with him. why? >> well, we have identified him and we know that, based on what we know now, with that chair incident, we need to interview him and we need to continue our investigation with regards to what happened without chair. you know, where that leads us

let's talk about the atmosphere in montgomery in the 24 hours before.lly, he did a rally in montgomery about 24 hours before this. what was kind of the atmosphere in the city after he was gone? because we know statistically hate crimes, violence tend to go up when trump comes to town. >> yeah. you know, i don't think that having the former president here helped anything as it relates to his rhetoric, and the actions that he has taken. i don't think that helps discourse. i don't think it helps the environment overall when you consider what's happening in alabama this time with our state legislature rejecting supreme courts order to draw the second congressional district. there's a lot of tension in the air right now politically and i don't think having former president trump here helped anything and some people can get a little bit too caught up in what they see online. i think some can get caught up in terms of what they read and what they're hearing from, you know, their friends and their immediate circle and may take things a different way than maybe

this happened today after a trump rally in montgomery. right?hen this, if this is happening at a time where we're watching a rise in hate crimes, according to the fbi, this is not what tim scott says, this is not a nation that's racist. there is racism playing out all throughout this whole brawl on august 5th. but at issue, at issue, it really is, i am my brother's keeper. i'm not gonna let you do this as the climate is rising racially, with racial tensions. i'm not gonna let you hurt this man who is doing his job. black people did not stand by, but their arm, there's consequences to standing by and helping this black man, who was being beaten. god knows what else would've happened if no one stopped it. but then, here's the next part. it kept going. that's the problem, it kept going. so i am my brother's keeper is now getting the consequences of arrests and charges. >> right. april, i'm really glad that you are making that point. particularly in your sit down with bernice king. the daughter of the late martin luther king whose whole mission was
