there is a lot of mistrust with not only mr. brown and his family, but the ferguson community whether they are going to try to sweep the death of his son you should the rug. if you asked a question, what is the relationship like with the local law enforcement officers, it's very tense because they don't believe they are going to do anything different than they have done in the past. that's why we are seeing what we see happen in ferguson. mr. brown and his family have been dignified in being peaceful. they are very frustrated. >> so much of the story has been about the community of ferg and how they reacted. have they been important in helping you through this time? >> yes, they have been very supportive. >> if there is one positive thing that comes out of this very dark situation, what would you hope that would be? what is the one change you would like to see? >> for this not to happen to no one else. >> our thoughts continue to be with the browns. my interview with the father of michael brown and attorney benjamin crump. benjamin cr

mr. brown: thanks. i want to follow up on -- now the presiding officer, then senator sanders' comments a moment ago about the crux of this issue, why -- why this big money in campaigns is so bad for our country. and, you know, the public doesn't really care who's got an advantage or disadvantage, they don't care if a republican wins or a democrat wins, they care about what we do here and we can help people's lives. the presiding officer talked about the minimum wage. i used to be his first year in the senate, my first year in the senate, my first speech on the senate floor, five desks over from here was about the minimum wage. it passed the senate with a bipartisan vote, signed by a republican president increasing the minimum wage. that was then. today we can't even get a minimum wage out of the senate because of republican filibuster. the minimum wage -- the minimum wage is worth a third less in real dollars in purchasing power than it was in 1968. the subminimum wage, the tipped wage has been stuck at

mr. brownbout how grateful the family is that they came forward, even though it's very hard, because what you have is a live play-by-play of how his son's life was taken in broad daylight. it's a contemporaneous recording of what their reaction was to what they had just witnessed. when they said his hands was up and the police kept shooting, they said when he was running away with his back to the police, he kept shooting. so, we think it's very significant. >> michael brown sr., a bit of time has passed but we don't want to lose sight of what's most important in this story and that's your son. so much has been said about his death. but i'd love to hear from you what he was like in life. what were his plans for after graduation? >> well, he was going to attend college, vatterrot. before that, just a regular teenager. you know, big guy, big heart. you know, he knew what he wanted in life. you know, that was a plus, you know. so, you know, just to be taken away like that, it hurts. >> it is more t

in the veryo do it rushed timetable suggested by mr. brownnd endorsed by the others, for reasons of expediency, they were doing quite a little bit because they felt they were losing. timetable,t on that then the idea of creating a federal system involving england is simply unfeasible. any area yet to come which could deliver exceptionally good news for the yes campaign? >> it had to be bigger than that in dundee, frankly. being a city where labor has past.overned in the holding a number of seats in both parliaments, they had to do better than that. you are still looking at the other cities. the really big councils have yet to weigh in. >> it is interesting to see. nicholas sturgeon at their headquarters. she may be at the other headquarters. i am not sure. interesting to focus on her given what has happened in this campaign. >> she has a critical role in the campaign. she fought an extremely hard fight. she is smiling extremely bravely there. how would she other? there are many more results to come in. the city that she represents, glasgow. s

mrs. brownvowed to keep speaking out for her son. >> he was an average teenager, he didn't deserve that, in that he meant something to me. >> amen.

let me tell you those families are in crisis and i'm running for governor to fight for them. >> mr. brown 30 seconds please. >> i've seen nothing not a shred in his program that can help poor people. quite the opposite, it follows from your bonuses to your buddies at goldman sachs. >> schwarzenegger era was the question. >> 23 years of that were republican governors when i was gone. arnold had some big plans but it too insider knowledge to get it done. we were talking about california as a failed state. well it's back. he likes to use the construct that if we're not perfect we're not making progress. i think 1.4 million jobs we're recovering faster than the rest of the nation. we're moving forward. more money going to the schools, 30% more, water bond proposition 1 and we have a rainy day fund to save funds for hard times when they come and i hope everybody on their ballot this november will vote for proposition 1 and proposition 2. >> next question is from me, governor, it's to you. this may be one of the simpler questions. let's see, let's give it a shot. one of the most talked about bi

mr. brown's right. now the civil rights division will begin a probe that a single action probe will be investigated, and it will cover the entire police force. clio, democrats line, hello. caller: hello. yes, sir. i believe that the role of the federal government in ferguson max.d be totally to the we need to get some more justice in ferguson, not only for what happened to michael brown, but there are complete -- but their complete revamp the way the is -- the way it is administered in person. our mayor has taken a different approach on police over the last couple of years. i think it is working well, working better than i have ever seen it. host: what is your mayor doing in birmingham? caller: he has got a community policing program for us. , citizen onols petrol programs. we police our own communities. i think that resonates with the community. host: this is illinois, independent line. watched the i ferguson rampage, whatever you want to call it, and i think if sharpton, jesse jackson, and holder kept

mccullom and mr. brown were intellectually challenged and led by the law enforcement officers.hey were told they would be able to walk free, if they would only admit to the crime. and in order to leave the police station mr. mccullom admitted to something that he did not do. >> justice scalia until a dissent against justice blackmon, once cited this case as an example of bar barity and why the death penalty, lethal injection was constitutional. he said justice black man did not select this as constitution, the case of the 11-year-old girl rained by four men and then killed by stuffing her panties down her throat. how enviable a quiet death by lethal injection compared by that. do you have a response? >> he was wrong then, he's proven wrong now. mr. mccullom did not participate in that murder, neither did the four men that justice scalia referred to. the murder was committed by an entirely different person who is now in prison in north carolina correctional system. >> there's two ways i think when we get the news of an exoneration such as what happened to your client to receive

and he was gunned down like an animal in the street while just driving his car because mr. brownhe deserved it thanks to the u.s. actions against muslims. this is what brown told the cops. so i ask you whether this is the future that we're going to need to deal with when it comes to isis, al qaeda or anybody else, this type of lone wolf terrorism that pops up and doesn't get called what it is? >> it's absolutely the future. and it's something we've been dealing with for years now. but the situation with isis has made it worse. isis' propaganda effort is smooth actually using social media and just the internet in general. it's easy to essential self-jihadize. you can decide you want to become a jihadi just based upon your connection to the internet and your desire to connect with isis that way. some go inside there, but as you said the lone wolf here it already exists. it's getting worse right now. it's very difficult to completely eradicate no matter how much attention law enforcement pays to. >> this is one of the biggest threats law enforcement worries about because it's so har

. >> i'm not sure the last time wlb, mr. brown was at a truck stop that he gaged the public's opinion but i was decidedly mixed when i pump gas and talked to people. >> he clearly loves arnold. we have a smudge on the lapel where apparently a pin -- >> where he originally had the painting commissioned and i paid for it -- he paid for it. maria was on there in a pin. >> can we stop there? what? that was the original plan to have his wife's picture on a pin? >> in his administration -- >> i think it's insulting. a pin on the lapel? >> the other governors don't mention their wives at all. >> it almost seems better to not. >> we want to know what maria has to say. >> it's gone now, it was painted out after their separation. your reaction to that >> if if there's a smudge left i don't know why there's not a better artist that would have -- >> that guy can't win.

>> i'm confident mr. brown will make good choices going forward. >> $1,000 in fines. the judge's voice grew hot as he expressed anger that brown had assaulted parker adams while he probation for beating his then girlfriend rhode island rihanna, violating probation in california and more months in substance abuse treatment. so the judge agreed to the terms of the plea agreement with prosecutors and sentenced brown to time served. that is the two days he spent in the d.c. jail. >> i just got so many pictures. like look how close i was. >> but he hits people. >> so what, it don't matter. >> he hit rihanna, he hit this other guy. >> that was a long time ago. >> this ends the criminal case in d.c. against chris brown, but he is still on probation in california. >> in d.c., bruce leshan, wusa9. >> all right then, that fellow, chris brown has gone to court and sued him and his body guard for 1 1/2 million a piece. that suit is still pending. >>> a former police officer convicted of shooting a man in handcuffs is now in even more trouble tonight. during johnny riley's sentenci

mr. brown's family as well as residents of ferguson and others across the country. evens of unfolding have sparked a much-needed national discussion on police strategy, law enforcement response and race relations. the purpose of today's hearing is not to explore what happened in ferguson that day but other judicial system the purpose of today's hearing is to examine the effectiveness of programs for state and local police with surplus military equipment and exercises for planning and training. the issues to there not just about ferguson that affect communities across the nation. says retake the deep dive into local law-enforcement agencies to explore the value of these programs to police the communities they serve, and taxpayers. let's start by a thinking senator mitch paschal and her staff for cochairing this with me and our call date from missouri has spent a lot of time in ferguson we look forward to hearing about her experience. thank you for your leadership during this time and what you have done to help our country move forward. during the weeks following the

mr. brown's trials, police in fact did suspect roscoe artis of this crime. and for that reason, they submitted a comparison request to the state crime lab, mr. artis' fingerprints with known fingerprints found at the scene. but they never completed the comparison. >> incredible. >> the crime scene investigator testified but didn't mention the fact that mr. artis was a suspect. >> ms. kirby, i want to play one more sound bite from mr. mccollum, who talked about the life that he imagined he would have had. >> a long time ago, i wanted -- i wanted to find me a good wife. i wanted to raise a family. i wanted to have my own business and everything. i never -- i never got the chance to fulfill those dreams, never got the chance because the people that took 30 years away from me. they destroyed my life. now i believe, i believe that god is going to bless me to get back out there. >> it's so heartbreaking to hear him talk about the missed opportunities and everything that he lost out on. how are these men doing today? and what does the future hold for them? >> well,

. >> mr. brown, you've heard all the testimony today about what people think should happen to you. you want to have happen? >> i understand i resists law enforcement. and me being back in that will room for two weeks, that really got to me. i know i tested like positive for marijuana but that's something i did like back in july. and i thought i was going to be clean by the time i came to court. >> i know some people might say using a little bit of marijuana isn't like shooting somebody but at the same time, do you understand the significance of that one use of marijuana what it had on your family and your life and frankly, on the underlying charges that you already had pending against you? >> well, i take full responsibilities for my actions and i just feel like i let them down, you know? like miss sarah and bob and my mom. i just want to like go home and take care of my responsibilities. >> roderick, do you rememberer judge bonaventure ra asking you about taking a drug test. >> yes, ma'am. >> do you say you probably should be clean, something like that. >> i probably should. >> so

the fact is that the body of mr. brown was on the street for four hours.e from government officials. and in cases like this, what we need is swift and immediate action from government officials. we need leadership particularly as it relates to improving police/community relations and provide them with some degree of support that in fact the police officers are there to serve them as opposed to just violating their human and civil rights. >> john, you were the attorney for the woman in the situation in california and the settlement was reached this week. how is she doing? >> she's doing quite well. it is difficult. i mean, she was a person who was in a lot of need. they hid her identity for a long time. so now she's on the right track. i'm very hopeful that as we work through the special needs trust that we're working on that was part of the settlement that she'll be placed in a position that this kind of -- will not put her in the same kind of predicament she was? >> eric holder announced this week he's resigning. what does his departure mean for all these

mr. browne, great to have you with us. i will note, you can have independence without a queen.ed out okay for us but we do -- >> yeah, but you've got to invite us to the tea party next time.

. >> mr. brown. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr.iffin, in my 22 years in this committee i have never heard anything that would make me believe that the office of the inspector general has worked with the va to soften the findings, nothing, nothing. but i think it seems to me that people seem to think that because i make an allegation that that is a criminal offense and therefore i should be fired without any due process, can you explain that to me? and i am thinking about the ongoing review cases. >> right. we received 90 allegations. in the last 12 months we got 34,000 allegations through our hotline. okay? that is why we have investigators and auditors and other conditions, so when we get an allegation, if we have the resources available and it rises to a level where we feel compelled to take it, we go out and do our reviews and nighter conclude, yes, this delegation is correct or, no, it is not. but until such time as we have accomplished that an allegation is an allegation. >> this seems as if everyone seems to think that every

mr. clay, attend michael brown's funeral. mr. horsford: it was an incredibly powerful service in which a city and a nation came together to mourn. but out of that mourning and frustration, we have an obligation to act. and so tonight, members of the congressional black caucus will use this special order hour to scuss the challenge of profiling, of militarizing our local law enforcement agencies, and the need to build community policing approaches that work. and i'm honored to work with my co-chair and to lead this special order hour because it's a very significant moment. that will allow us to heal and to move forward as a nation. i'd like to start by yielding time to the chairwoman of the congressional black caucus, who provides so much leadership and direction to the 43 members of the c.b.c. each and every day and this is an issue that we have been working on far before michael brown lost his life. there are a pattern of issues and young people who have been profiled and we are committed to make sure that this does not continue

cameron through mr. brownxtra tax powers and the bond. >> that's something that the conservative policy that all together campaign was talking about for months. but you're quite correct the two things the no count were accused of was they should put the financial settlement and the timetable. both of those are tricky problems. >> so he has problems. >> on those questions. >> these are the questions. >> they're not. because the other question is the question of fundamental powers. i think he's got less problem on that front. there are tricky policies. >> if the barnett formula, which gives the scots 19% more per capita, that really we've already heard this evening the welsh are going to be complaining, the english will be complaining. >> the english don't like it. >> the north. but what we've broken the bands and everybody else is going to say, well does that mean we have to have less because we've got to stay within this tight straitjacket that george osbourne has laid out? if that's the case, that's just not

mr. brown's family, as well as for many residents of ferguson and for others across our country. the events that unfolded in ferguson have sparked a much needed national discussion on a range of issues, including police strategy, law enforcement response to civil protests and unrest and race relations. the purpose the today's hearing, though, is not to explore what happened in ferguson on that fateful day or to assign blame. that is the responsibility of our judicial system. rather, the purpose of today's hearing is to examine the effectiveness of programs that provide surplus military equipment and grant funding for equipment for exercises for planning and for training. the issues we'll be discussing today are not just about ferguson. they affect communities across our nation. as we take a deep dive into the federal programs that helped equip state and local law enforcement agencies that want to explore the value of these programs to police, to the communities they serve, and especially to taxpayers. i want to just really start off by thanking senator mccaskill and her staff for

mr. chairman. >> senator brown. >> thank you, mr. chairman. chair white, i sent you a letter in the s.e.c.'s labor policies. i appreciated your response. we received it yesterday and we'll follow up on it. governor tarrillo, i appreciated your comments and discussion and mr. greenberg's with senator corker.ze i thought that was helpful yorb you said capital surcharges to the largest banks could be ç higher than the 2.5% basel rule. they said they could be as high as 4.5%. not surprisingly, the industry tells us that those additional -- those additional requirements would be costly, would put them at a competitive disadvantage. tell the committee why they're important for financial stability. >> senator, i would say several things. first, i think that as some of you may recall a few years ago when we were beginning this exercise on capital surcharges, we did quite a bit of analysis. while we didn't think we could come up with a point estimate of exactly precisely what was an appropriate surcharge given the additional risks to the system in the failure of one of these firms, we did come up w

brown's death. i want to commend president obama and also mr.lder for their involvement and their commitment on seeing justice brought in this situation. and this issue around racial was ling, a young man that walking in the street with a to get on s told little alk and just a bit later lie dead in the , started out with him being told to get on the sidewalk. and he loses his life. it's unconscionable. it's not understandable. and it's injustice -- it's injust. and this is a situation that young african-american men have ad to deal with for centuries. it is a situation that we all find ourselves in, whether we are young men in ferguson, newark, new jersey, or new york city, or las vegas, nevada. e all have one common thread and that is when you come across a police officer in certain circumstances, there is a manner in which you should conduct yourself to make sure you can get home alive that night. and i've been on that side of it. on far too many occasions to count. but one of the occasions that i remember so well, i was about 19 or 20. workin
