>> no, not at the time. we wasn't read any rights, nothing. just double locked handcuffs behind our back, and escorted out, put into a squad car. >> why do you both think that store manager called 911?

>> what i say is i understand that, rules are rules, but what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong, and that's in any situation, whether there's race involved or anything. >> robin, i'm sorry but what is that rule? starbucks holds itself open as a place for people to meet and to have public conversations. those are words from their website. >> the ceo, kevin johnson, said he has met with you. can you divulge what you all discussed? >> we approached starbucks and suggested that we engage in mediation with a retired federal judge in philadelphia and they agreed to that proposal and we are still involved in that process. that process requires confidentiality. >> what do you want to see happen here, donte? >> i want to make sure that this situation doesn't happen again. so what i want is for a young man, or young men, to not be traumatized by this and instead motivated, inspired. >> and what do you want, rashon? >> so, you know, take this opportunity as a steppingstone, you know, to really stand up and, you know, show your greatness and that you are not judged by the color of your skin as our ancestors were or anyone else. this is something that's been going on for years and everyone is blind to it but they know what's going on if you get what i mean. and, you know, just really taking those actions and putting them into place and help people understand that it's not just a black people thing. this is a people thing. and that's exactly what we want to see out of this and that's true change, so put action into place and stop using your words. >> we appreciate you using your words here with us this morning and this discussion and has to be more than dialogue as you said. it has to be action and we appreciate your willingness to be apart of that. mr. cohen, as well, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we know starbucks has announced already that they plan to close 8,000 locations for an afternoon of racial bias training. >> who hasn't spent two minutes waiting in a starbucks?

>> i did ask their lawyer, stewart cohen, if they planned on a civil suit of some suit against either starbucks or the city, and they said that's not what they're thinking about at this time. they want to be a part of the process. remember, kevin johnson, the ceo said that they wanted those gentlemen to be part of the process. they say they're still working that out and they were going to allow us, "gma," to follow along and follow up with them and see how that process plays out. >> fascinating story. >> and hopefully, you know, michael, come on. >> two minutes. and as you said, he said in the piece actions, not just words, and i think that's what they're looking for, to see what they're looking for to see really a real change. not just with starbucks but i think with -- >> it's a societal issue. you just can't label it on starbucks. >> we'll stick with it all the way. >> we will. >>> coming up next, an exclusive with the family of that hero pilot who is being praised for nerves of steel after safely landing that southwest jet when the engine exploded. exploded. the whole family can stay connected with new iphones. which is great... ...unless your parents thought you were studying. aren't exams this week?

>> robin, i have so much to say on this. it's such an important topic. i think let's distinguish patient side, physician side and what we can all do about it. from the patient's side it's really important to understand we make a medical assessment first visually. what does the patient look like? it is a fact that being overweight or obese does carry with it certain risks of other things. it is also a fact that you can have more than one thing going on at the same time. so you can be overweight or obese, have a cough, can have an infection and you can have lung cancer and i think that it's important for patients to understand that making a diagnosis is a very involved complex process but they also need to hold their health care provider accountable and if they are being made to feel you're not hearing me, express your feelings.that can totally turn the tables and give the patient more power. sometimes the provider needs a wake-up call. they need to say, wow, you know what, i didn't realize i was being insensitive so they can shift gears and approach it in a productive and compassionate and sensitive manner. >> thank you for that. you are board certified in obesity medicine. what can we do? >> we have an onus of responsibility to understand what a patient is dealing with and there are physicians now who are trained in lgbtq patients and there are physicians who are board certified in dealing with overweight and obese patients. if you've been out in the field for a long time you are not up to speed on that, that can affect your ability to deliver good care so i think that that is really important. the other thing we need to remember is that a lot of patients don't realize there are ethnic, religious, racial, social, sexual aspects of a patient that do up their risk factors of certain things. when we point that out ideally we're not making a social judgment but a clinical observation but need to do that in a way that's effective and kind. >> compassionate. >> and as a society, we need to drop this stigma because it is affecting the care that people get, and that can't continue. >> you are fired up about this. >> i sure am. whoo. >> i know. well, thank you. >> it's important. it's really, really important and we hate to hear women or anyone suffering like this. >> we do. let's get over to roba" moment that's for both cat lovers and if you're a cat hater, i suppose this works too. this is terry, the cat as in terry cloth who likes to play with the mop. he's playing with his owner and he just likes to hold on to the mop and there's nothing wrong with dual tasking. playing with your cat while cleaning the floor. the problem is you probably have to give the cat a bath after this, and as you all know, cats don't like water too much. that's from the uk where right now it's like 75 degrees, so they're enjoying some summer, enjoy the 40 something here in new york. >>> good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. get ready for sunshine. a little bit of a breeze, but definitely milder and dry. patchy fog, still a chill tonight and that summer spread's coming this weekend. today, it's breezy along the coast. that's why we're in the upper 50s to low 60s in san francisco, 64 to 66 around the bay, and then about 66 to 70 inland. you can see some of the patchy fog developing the
