mr. dooley, you know when you hear for example, that you had a -- let me put this to you. there was a st. louis county lieutenant, fired last year in a case involving race, one internal note to him read, quote, you were heard by at least nine officers on multiple occasions directing enforcement actions on persons with black, tan or colored skin without any reference to probable cause. this happened. not just that just created. but just there washington week, you said there, being mr. duly, concerns about the police force were quote, unfounded. but isn't this a cause for wern, when have you an office fired for using racial directions. with no probable cause. >> of course it is reason for concern. i'm not going to debate that fact. but what i am saying is that one person's action does not necessarily represent the whole of the department. have there been mistakes made in of course there have. is there frustration out there? of course there are. there are unanswered questions, yes, they are. have people been mistreated? yes. but by the vast of the industry, speaks for the who

mr. dooley, thank you so much. i appreciate you coming here and talking to us. coming up next, he threatened more killings of innocent americans. he spoke with a british accent. just who is the isis terrorist in this horrific video and where is he? plus michael brown's family meeting with attorney general eric holder today. what can he tell them about the investigation into their son's death. i'll ask the brown family attorney coming up. >>> welcome back to "the lead." i'm jake tapper in ferguson, missouri. much more on the crisis here coming up, but first let's take a moment and turn to the world lead. they say they have never been more proud of their son. >> we're very proud of jim, you know. he was a courageous, fearless journalist. very compassionate american. i mean, the best of america. >> those were the powerful and painful words of the grieving parents of james foley, an american photojournalist brutally beheaded by isis militants and isis terrorists. in a video the fbi believes to be authentic, foley was a son, a brother and 40-year-old war reporter for

dooley. in the election, mr.tinger enlisted the county prosecutor as a supporter who then did an advertisement on his behalf alleging that the african-american county executive was corrupt. and that really struck a sour chord with many of the african-american community, already the election was raciallydy advicive. so for this to come immediately on the heels of this, part of the outrage you're seeing out here is from people who did not trust the prosecutor to do the right thing in their estimation from the get-go. >> but, jelani, what would they like to see from the attorney general? >> well, for one, i think people will not be happy if there's not an indictment. they don't trust that mr. mcculloch will bring charges against the officer and talking in the community today, they don't believe there would be a vigorous prosecution even if he were to bring charges. on multiple levels there's distrust for the county prosecutor's office here. >> let me ask you about governor nixon's response. he has sort of dipped in

dooley, county executive for st. louis county, missouri. he's asked the missouri general to remove the county prosecuting attorney from the investigation into the shooting death of michael brown. mr. doole whery, thank you for time tonight. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> let me ask you, first, about the decision to call out the national guard. the decision by the governor to suspend the curfew that was at least nominally in effect on saturday night and sunday night. what's your opinion about the current standards by which these protests are being policed? >> well, again, the national forward is supposed to securing the command center. that's all they're doing. they'll free up the police officers to be in the street to help keep peace and make sure the protesters assemble in a peaceful manner? . >> in terms of the curfew and different styles of policing we've seen over the past few nights, obviously thursday night seems to have been the high water mark in terms of people peacefully protesting without too much disruption and certainly without violence. are you hopeful that the community can get back to that sort of a state, or do you think this is goi
