and speaking of ray kelly you know government officials and the new york city police commissioner ray kelly and their bloomberg the attorney general they're all standing behind this program and they're saying that this is all being done to keep people safe and to take preventative measures what do you think about that. you know you can use it for justifying anything you could say let's just a police state in suspend the fourth amendment and just do surveillance of everybody and that would be right at all the fact that there are a teeny tiny percentage of muslims who happen to be involved in criminal activity or terrorist islamic the rest of us guilty that's not the american system we're not treated less than american because of our faith that's not a very same reason you're not treated less than american because of your religion your faith i mean your your race or your ethnicity that's all wrong that's not the basis if there is evidence of a crime or probable cause of a potential crime against a muslim please investigate them because they make our community look horrible when someone

several people holding hoping to send a message to mayor michael bloomberg and police commissioner ray kelly hoping to end the policy known as stop and frisk take a look at the march and notice that it is very quiet. so this is what happened after the march it did get a little louder but the other march yesterday was a silent march in the crowd was estimated to be as large as fifty thousand people who took part members of the n.w.a. c.p. the a.c.l.u. the national action network and thousands of people concerned about a policy in which the new york police are not only allowed they're encouraged to stop behaving to stop people who are behaving in a way they deem suspect well guess what last year more than six hundred eighty five thousand people were stopped and eighty eight percent of them were innocent guess what fifty three percent of them were black and thirty four percent of them were left so the racial profiling aspect of this is unquestionable the march was a success but it did turn chaotic as you saw there with some protesters clashing with police and i want to talk about this with geor

we're sharing this racial profiling, religious profiling going on by ray kelly and his policies. >> wes know how this lawsuit goes. obviously it's very contentious issue there, and we'll see. we'll see if there's some recourse there. thank you. >>> it's easier than ever to connect with friends and family thanks to video chat. well, now the creator of napster wants in on the action but is it too late? >>> all right. remember the justin timberlake character in the movie "the social network in?" in real life it's sean parker. he was in new york yesterday. the event is big on sizzle including appearances by snoop dogg. but big on fizzle, too. alison kosik is cojoining us to explain what happened. >> you said it, suzanne. there were tons of big stars at this event, olivia mund, jimmy fallon, and alicia keys and for sean parker and sean fanning, they haven't done anything this big since they created napster together. what air time does is what chat roulette does, which randomly matches up strangers. listen to what parker says about what makes this unique. >> so it's the only live video chat

this case has said case can proceed forward against 700 police officers and dismissed it against ray kellyberg. >> bill: 700 police officers who pays damages? take up a collection? what happens? >> it would be the civil lawsuit, yeah. what they say is the city would have to pay. but i don't think it's going to get that far. i think the judge was right. dismiss in the first part. the large conspiracy against the city. dismiss that. but let it go at least forward to a jury, perhaps, to see whether -- entrapment. that's the legal. >> bill: they were down there for months protesting. they are saying that the police did what. >> entrapped them. >> bill: by doing what? >> making march. >> follow this to this blind. this is where we want you to go. follow us there. and then arrest them. >> bill: lured them to the brooklyn bridge and then when they got out there t was like moses and the egyptians luring the egyptians into the red sea and then, boom! >> exactly. >> bill: the egyptians could have sued but they are all dead. >> yeah. where was the aclu then, right? >> bill: that's right. do you know

new york police commissioner ray kelly initially said gramm "appeared to be armed," but no weapon wasver recovered. ramarley's grandmother and 6- year-old brother were inside the apartment the time police killed him last week, a new york police officer was indicted on manslaughter charges for the fatal shooting. the officer, richard tased, pleaded not guilty to charges of first and second-degree manslaughter in the bronx courtroom. he was released on $50,000 bail. last thursday, "democracy now!" covered a vigil held by the family. i spoke to his older sister and began by asking her to describe her brother ramarley. >> ramarley was very different from the other brothers. he was in to slow jam. he knew how to cook. he taught me some things about cooking. he even showed me how to make milkshakes, just like, little weird things that people would not really do at home. when we were younger, we were always doing something. whether it was me bothering him, provoking him to do certain things. we would get in trouble by our mother. we would always laughed after, always joke. we played a lot of

what's happening now under police commissioner ray kelly, he says, is that he's demanding officers to conduct stops even if they don't have a justifiable level of suspicion. sergeant leader is now the cofounder of a black law enforcement advocacy group. where does it end? let's bring in dr. james peterson, associate professor of english at lehigh university. you have written about the death of rodney king and what he symbolized over so many years. he asked the very profound question, can we all get along? but i want to start with new york's stop and frisk law and the protest yesterday. is this racial profiling? is this necessary for law enforcement to do this in new york? >> it is institutionalized racial profiling. i don't believe it's necessary to do this in the city of new york or the city of philadelphia or any of the cities where the stop and frisk policies are in place now. you cited the numbers. black and brown men where being subject to search, illegal search and sometimes seizure for no reason. the mayor of new york city and other mayors of these big cities will tell you thes

this is a major breakthrough to see the governor of new york now and to see ray kelly, it's kind of really to see new york city police commissioner, who's been really, really tough, really crack down on this with the support of mayor bloomberg. to see them coming around like this, it's a historic event. >> it really is. miss organization and other ally groups have been, you know, making this a major issue the last few years with grassroots mobilization. but the police chief, the mayor, the district attorneys in new york just kept resisting. so cuomo coming on board now and saying i'm introducing my own bill on this. we're going to move this thing forward. then whatever he had to do to get the police chief and the mayor and the d.a.s on board, this is a major change. this is going to result in thousands or tens of thousands of young african-american men being arrested needlessly. it's an important and bold step forward by the governor. >> over 50,000 people arrested in new york state last year for this kind of possession. it seems we're in a moment, ethan, where this stuff -- there's a wave

birth to policies like stop, question, and frisk that mayor bloomberg has --consistently defends, ray kelly consistently defends. policies such as mass incarceration. we are still living with the same basic ideas and arguments about the relationship between black criminality and social responsibility, between segregation and public safety today as we were in the 1890s in this country. >> here's the testimony of one of the most influential scholars of the time, nathanial southgate shaler, a harvard scientist and prolific writer on race relations. here's what he wrote in 1884, "there can be no sort of doubt that judged by the light of all experience, these people," -- blacks -- "are a danger to america, greater and more insuperable than any of those that menace the other great civilized states of the world." he wrote that in the "atlantic" magazine. here's hinton rowan helper, arguing that america would self-destruct if it gave blacks the right to vote. he said "negroes with their crime-stained blackness could not rise to a plane higher than that of base and beastlike savagery. seeing then th

peterson, i would like to ask you about something, there is one side of the debate, mayor bloomburg, ray kellyfrisk led to the confiscate of over 6,000 guns over the last eight years and the mayor says this year the city is on track to have the lowest number of murders in recorded history. in your opinion does that justify a policy which so disproportionately affects african-americans? >> absolutely not. not only do the ends not justify the means, we have to dig into some of these numbers and we will find that there are other reasons why the crime rate is dropping. it is not because there is sort of harassing young black men and in fact profiling yuck black and brown men on a regular basis and not just in new york city. there are other cities an the country that have the policies. philadelphia is included. the ends just simply do not justify the means. there is other data that show there is a number of different reasons why crime is dropping, why violent crime is dropping. we don't have the information that suggests this kind of racial profiling actually works to reduce the crime rate. in fact

. >> reporter: nypd commissioner ray kelly and mayor michael bloomberg have both defended the practiceying the information the nypd collects is within the department's guidelines, which are approved and monitored by lawyers and a federal judge. >> we have to be cognizant of what we do. we have to check. we have to make certain that we're what doing is within constitutional bounds and that's precisely what we're doing. >> so the question is, where is the line of demarcation so that people can -- police can do what they ought to do, at the same time, if nothing is going on and they have no reason to do it, they shouldn't be doing it. >> so, here is the two sides of that argument. the nypd says, if these are places that are out in public f you can walk into a restaurant and sit there or attend a mosque or take a picture of the front of it, the nypd shouldn't be barred from going anywhere the public can go, including an open meeting of muslim students association. they say that is within their guidelines, which they say is modeled on the fbi guidelines. the flipside of the argument, and th

our emphasis on partnership based initially on the coalition first formed by the nypd commissioner ray kelly amtrak has worked with the tsa to form a network which now coordinates the efforts of more than 200 agencies and over 40 states to protect amtrak and local transit systems. amtrak has also been accepted as an associate member of rail paul, an effort of the police agencies sharing best practices to protect our respective systems. additionally, we partner closer to conduct thousands of joint baggage traiing efforts to the women's throughout our system. we've also turned to the 19th thousand employees and an effort to leverage their familiarity with our system. through a variety of trimming efforts and public outreach, we have given our employees and the public both the tools they need to identify suspicious circumstances and the means to share their observations with a proper authority. i would like to say that tsa has been a good partner and amtrak with tsa has produced significant improvement in transit security but has been at the forefront of many important developments including jo

and it not only has the backing of michael bloomberg, but ray kelly.ll with everybody. the head of the international faith based coalition, bishop ron allen and the alliance project. >> good morning. >> clayton: let me start with you. why is it a smart idea to decriminalize marijuana usage. >> keep in mind marijuana possession has been decriminalized in new york and passed a law, we should not be expending limited police resources on busting people for small amounts of marijuana that was changed in 1977. the governor's proposal says we're going to make marijuana in public be a violation not a criminal offense and this is because in new york city, 50,000 people were arrested last year for marijuana possession, number one arrest in the city and nearly all of the people arrested, 85% are black and latino, even though, whites use marijuana at higher rates, the governor says he wants to address this disparity and law enforcement says, we need this law fixed and the loophole closed so officers know when to charge for the crime and or when to give the violati
