mr. brinsley had any connection to the recent months of peaceful protests for police reform. but healing to those earlier tragedies to his hateful words and unspeakable acts, fatally coloring how others will perceive it. there is no more important job ahead for mr. deblasio then to lead and unite the city. . promised his one city so urgently and so sorely tested. let's go to monica from louisiana. relationships between police and minority communities will probably be the same in 2015. why do you think that? caller: i am a retired police officer from louisiana. stay our police officers in the academy just a little longer, maybe they can have a better relationship. here in louisiana, we have policing and outreach to the community because you still have police officers who live in that same came in today. so they would understand the neighborhood. but until they go back to class and understand that neighborhood, things are going untily the same, and then our government or whoever wants to fund or put more money into ,he criminal justice system because i believe our police office

mr. brinsley who committed suicide after killing two officers. joining us fox news political analyst, republican strategist ed rollins, thank you for being here. >> good to be with you. lou: stunning, that editorial. what giuliani said, in my judgment, i want yours, i didn't find a thing amiss with anything he said. >> i didn't either and rudy basically took the city when it was lawless and turned it back around. he rebuilt the confidence of a police force. we have the finest police force in the country today. two extraordinary police commissioners, ray kelly and commissioner bratton today. and bratton as i watched the photo earlier of bratton standing alongside the mayor. he's a demoralized guy. an extraordinary police chief in boston, los angeles here before, and neutralized, and denuded, whatever the case may be. "washington post" might have felt different if the guy who killed the two police officers drove across the border and shot somebody in baltimore or d.c. this guy came up here, the highlight was here, the crowds were here, and i think

mr. brinsley made his way to the bus stop in baltimore and made a call to shanikia's mother. he apologized for shooting herbie accident, he said. within a half hour, the baltimore police started tracking the cell phone and saw that it was moving north on interstate 95. the cell phone, ismaaiyl brinsley and his gun arrived in new york city. he started posting threatening messages about police on instagram. this is video of him using the crest cell phone at a brooklyn mall. police did everything they could on saturday to track his movements, but after he dre dro that phone, police lost the trail. >> we investigated this fully yesterday, baltimore county police department were made aware in around 1:30 in the afternoon on this threat on the instagramthreat. they got thecall, the precinct did a great job. the sergeant told her to call intercity correspondence. all things were done exactly the way they were supposed to do. about 45 minutes later we had a document on this individual. one minute after that document was faxed, the double homicide occurred. there was no lapse on anybo

we started to do background on mr ismaaiyl brinsley. we spoke to both his parents and two sisters and an ex girlfriend. we were told by family members he never expressed radicalization, it's a muslim family. his mother said he had a troubled childhood and often was violent. mother expressed fear of him and said she hasn't seen him in a month. he attempted suicide in the past and attempted to hang himself a year ago. we are tracking his movements for the past week in new york and will continue to do so. he goes back and forth to new york. we don't have a residence for him. the residence listed in georgia is his sister - he has not been there for two years and is estranged from here and both of his sisters. what you see here, 9mm, a pp 92 model purchased at a pawn shop in georgia, it's not recorded as stolen. it was purchased by a male with the identity of, in '96, it was not him, he was nine. we are working with the a.t.f. to find him and find out where it could have fallen into his hands. now, presently, shooting, we have identified 10

mr. brinsley gave ominous clues about what he planned to carry out in new york and cnn money tech correspondent laurie segall joins me live with that. the whole notion that so much of his planning came up by instagram before the killing, what more are we learning about this person, his motives and potentially any co-conspirators? >> we know, ashleigh, he left an extensive digital footprint. right after this i was able to access his instagram account before he was taken dun and we have a screen shot of it. i want to read this to you and what he said ahead of the shooting. he said "i'm putting wings on pigs today. they take one of ours, we take two of theirs." it goes to to -- he puts hashtags "rest in peace eric garner, rest in peace mike brown" he put gun emo jis and said "this might be my last post." you're looking at a screen shot of it right now. he also posted on facebook right ahead of this attack, 11 hours before the attack. he said "i always wanted to be known for doing something right my my past is stalking me and my present is haunting me." he also said "why live if you don't love to l

mr. brinsley in the train station. ten eyewitnesses as well and one ear witness.e recovered five videos at the scene, two pre two post and one in the subway, none of which depict the incident, the homicide, the double homicide. we have found on one of our videos two males who spoke with the perpetrator just prior to the event. he begins the conversation with them, they start speaking and he asks them three things. he asked them for their gang affiliation, he asked them to follow him on instagram and he says watch what i'm going to do. he then walks northbound on tompkins, past the two officers, circles back around and comes up on the officers. that's where we are right now. those individuals are speaking to him now. we don't believe they had anything to do with anything. but we'll tap in on that further as we go forward. >> [ inaudible ]. >> no, that's currently at the delay to check that right now. we have two instances by family members made against him for minor incidents, aggravated arrests of that nature. he was born here in brooklyn. he went to high school i

mr. brinsley was mentally ill. a history of mental and emotional problems. he wasn't part of an ideological movement. to attribute his actions to the words of the mayor is nonsensical. i encourage anyone to point to anything the mayor said that's anti-police. he sought to reiterate our city's reverence for the work of police officers and he's continuing that message today. >> a lot of people disagree with that which you well know. mark, as a former police officer, one of the common threads among so many officers is they get into the business because they want to help people. when you see and read about the details, the horrendous murders of the two police officers between city hall and the mayor and the police union, and these officers turning their backs really in this act of disrespect not just toward the mayor but bratton was with them as well, what did you make of that, a, and b, what do you think the message needs to be to the city? >> there were similar rifts. i was a city of atlanta police officer. often felt that city hung you out to dry when somethi
