mr. charles and cnn legal analyst and former prosecutor, jeffrey toobin, gentlemen, thank you.re and then get to the harder question of where we go from here. legally, all right, when we were talking about the michael brown case, a lot of these suggestions people aren't going to like. put it to the side for this conversation. we were not surprised that officer darren wilson was not going to be indicted in that case, nothing to do with race, nothing to do with politics but just on the law and the facts itself. is that true? >> i thought so. i thought that was a hard case for the grand jury. >> because? >> because you had a life and death confrontation in the car, where a gun was fired, the police officer's gun was fired twice. there was a follow-up confrontation. witnesses told conflicting stories, and juries, grand juries included, traditionally, who include ordinary people from the community, are sympathetic to police officers operating in a dangerous world. >> there were forensics involved which helped bolster the officer's story, and yet it didn't feel right to people, black

joining me is a former secret service agent, "new york times" columnist charles blow and dr. kobilinsky. mrs saying, it wasn't a choke hold and if it had been a choke hold, he would have died of asphyxiation which is not what he died of. >> well, we do know that the airway was not blocked. he was able to speak "i can't breathe." airway was not blocked. however, there was an obstruction of the jugular veins which means that blood was going up to the brain but not returning. that is seen by the petechia, the pinpoint hemorrhages found in the gums and the eyelids and on the whites of the eye. there's no question there was that kind of affsphyxiffix -- a. strap muscles in the neck, hemorrhage on all of them. then we know about decompression of the chest. what he died of, what mr. garner died of, actually, is a heart attack, but that was brought on by a lack of oxygen to the brain. it was a respiratory failure followed by cardiac failure. >> when he says there was not asphyxiation, you're saying there was because of the constriction of the jugular, there was compression of the neck. >> and addit

mr. craig, also waiting on the phone to talk to you is joel calling in from st. charles, missouri. joel, go ahead. you're on with mr. craig. >> caller: my father -- my late father was on the "uss north dakota," and i understand that the "north dakota" was one of the first oil-fired battleships in the united states navy, and i also understand that it was the retraining trip for the atlantic. what else did it do during world war i? >> mr. craig? >> well, daniels spent a good bit of his time as secretary of the navy raising funds to build this fleet of battleships, and after the war, he was responsible for giving the country what he referred to as the two-ocean navy, putting major fleets of battleships in both the atlantic and the pacific, but i hate to disappoint our caller, but it turns out that battleships played almost no role, at least on the military side of the war once the united states entered it. the german navy, their surface fleet had been more or less either chased from the sea or sunk by the british by the time that the united states entered the war, and so really the pro

mr. smith's letter, the first thing that popped out to me was his first three paragraphs he was praising charles barkley for all that he's done in the nba but then he went onto discuss, you know, maybe he's not as credible as someone like al sharpton. i took issue with that. al sharpton is a civil rights leader for hire and he's around giving speeches in front of the camera but he's doing it so he can pay off his $400 million tax bill so i think that when we look at these conversations -- >> that's not fair. >> that's not fair. >> the basics is that there is reverend al sharpton has a $4 million tax bill. when riots were happening in ferguson, al sharpton wasn't there. we have to get back to communities taking control. elected people who represent them. being responsible in knowing who to vote for because when we think about police and we think about all of these issues that are taking place right now, it's a local issue. police officers are local. voters, residents, community members can go to the ballot box every four years to vote for judges and district attorneys and that's what we need to t
