police officers who had interacted with an individual named eric garner in new york city. just got off the phone with my attorney general, eric holder. he will have more specific comments about the case in new york. but i want everybody to know here, as well as everybody who may be viewing my remarks here today, we are not going to let up until we see a strengthening of the trust and a strengthening of the accountability that exists between our communities and our law enforcement. when anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that's a problem. and it is my job as president to help solve it. >> president obama speaking earlier tonight about the grand jury decision in staten island to not indict the new york city police officer involved in the choking death of 43-year-old eric garner this summer. look at this picture. this is eric garner's mother and his widow watching president obama make those remarks today. as they're watching, you see who is there with them. they're standing alongside reverend al sharpton. reverend al has been at the central of

she's the public advocate for the city of new york. ob title but it's a really important one in the nation's largest city. she's the second in command under mayor bill de blasio in new york. she's also been an active proponent of the body camera program for the nypd. thanks for being with us. i appreciate your time. >> thank you, rachel, thank you for having me. >> your reaction as public advocate to this decision by the grand jury today that there will not be an indictment in mr. garner's death? >> so obviously i'm very, very disappointed, and my prayer and my condolences go out to the garner family. but my office has been really focusing on reforms, which is why since july we've been pressing the de blasio administration and bratton administration to implement body cameras for members of the nypd. we wanted to make sure that we have an objective recording of every street encounter. before the decision was made we stood with the mayor and the police commissioner to announce this pilot program for cameras going forward. now, we recogniz

a grand jury in new york city has decided not to charge a white new york city police officer in the death of an unarmed african-american man. cell phone video captured this incident and garner died after saying repeatedly i can't breathe. tensions are high in new york in the aftermath of the grand jury's decision this afternoon. we've just learned that the nypd just requested that all police officers be removed from non-essential court appearances for the next couple of days. joe johns joins us from the district attorney's office in staten island. joe, what is the nypd doing to mobilize ahead of any potential protests to make sure that we don't see in any of new york's five boroughs what we saw in ferguson last week? >> right now the focus is on potential protests. when i got here to this location there was one guy in a store talking about the need to demonstrate over this issue and we didn't even have a decision from the grand jury at that stage. what the police are telling cnn is that they will mobilize and move officers around as demonstrations develop and there are officers, of course

mayor of new york city. o control the bridge. people don't get to take a public bridge from the public. i don't know if new york city officials realize, you close down the streets in new york city, you'll kill people. we need two to three minutes to get people to the hospital with a heart attack. you start cutting down the ability of flow through the street, you start diverting police and fire attention, people die. so what hasn't been allowed to go on fosters the sense of anti-police hatred. and that's 1% of the problem! habit the what about the 92% that is causing the death of black men in this country? we can't talk about that? you're racist if you say that? frankly, you are racist if you don't say that. >> so you are, mayor, for a long time, eight years, al sharpton was president of the city running around demagoguing, how does it feel to you to see him, a key white house adviser in the barack obama administration? >> well, for al sharpton to be tearing down the grand jury, which is a little older than al

forget about the idea of everybody being welcome here in new york city. his will be a city only for rich people. >> at its root, this is about some luxury dwelling places for a relative handful of people, many of whom don't even live in this country, and they're impacting a park used by 40 million people from around the world every year. that seems to me out of whack so we're going to make noise until we get somewhere. >> the internationalization of new york once meant something actually kind of exotic and exciting and enhanced our diversity. today, internationalization at least on west 57th street and east 57th street and all around midtown manhattan seems to symbolize not diversity but a kind of exclusivity and an end to the sense that we're all in it together, which is the key urban idea. we all meet each other on the sidewalk. we all meet each other in public places. and the urban environment is the common ground that we all share. >> tell us if you've seen some of these forces eroding the common ground where you live. perhaps like some of the people i

new york city cops are racist. new york city cops are targeting minorities.t target minorities. they go into minority communities where the crime is. they reduce crime in those minority communities. they put their lives on the line for those minority communities in a way that they reduce crime 80, 85% in this city, in those minority communities, save lives. and the mayor and sharpton have perpetuated this lie about them being racist, about them targeting minorities and you now have communities being burned down. you have officers being attacked, assaulted during protests. you have two assassinations. outright assassinations, vengeance assassinations based on a lie that the mayor and sharpton perpetuated. >> with that said, should -- there is a petition right now with 50,000 signatures to have de blasio removed from his position. do you believe that that is the right thing to do, the next step for the city? >> i don't feel that the mayor has the ability to lead the city. i don't feel the mayor has the ability to lead the city because if he did, he wouldn't hav
