>> rodney king is not a public spokesman. he's not an activist.ating. clearly, he didn't know what to say. i mean, what is there to say? you beat the shit out of me and i'm still alive. [ bleep ] you. that's what you should say. he didn't say that. he said, can we all get along? and a lot of people didn't want to get along. >> no justice, no peace. ♪ there's no place like home ♪ argh! i'm trying... ♪ yippiekiyay. ♪ mom. ♪ >> no justice, no peace. >>> the death toll is now up to 43, equaling the record set by the detroit riots in 1967. now this city tries to recover. >> i grabbed the broom just to sweep because the ashes were everywhere. all of a sudden coming right at me was channel 9. they go, what are you doing? i say, i'm sweeping. i don't know what else to do. half hour later, there was like 3, 5, 12 people with brooms. well, we saw you on the news, man. we came out to help you. by 6:00 in the afternoon, there were thousands of people. >> as armed national guard troops deployed, these people armed themselves with trash bags and brooms to begin

one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. >> make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. >> and then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long

. >> the next day, april 29th, 1992, the night at a rodney king verdict you held me in lap and cold notstop rock for two hours white man pulled from a truck beat up by black and brown man at a l.a. interaction. i hope you see what they aren't showing and write essay about what white folk they're blaming us. the last thing i cared about was what white folks felt. i only been alive for 17 years an a i was already tired of paying for white folks feelings with a generic smile and manufactured excellence to not give one about or stole froms us -- it didn't matter if it was white police, white teachers qhiet students, or white ran doll, yipght want to teach white folk not to steal, i didn't want teach them to treat us respectfully but fairly white folk and a knock them out even more than knocking out i wanted to never ever lose to them again. i knew there was no way to not lose unless we took back every bit of what had been stolen from us i wanted money, safety, the education, healthy choices, second chance hads they stole, that we would ever get what we were owed i knew we have to take it al

just like rodney king. remember that one? if he smelled smoke in this room you would start investigating, possibly if there was a fire. after the hearing today and to the previous one, i think the fire alarms are going off like crazy and it is up to you to do the next action. please do the right thing here i will leave you with a native american proverb that i truly believe in. we will always be remembered by the chocks we leave. that means, do the right thing. do the right thing the first time. take leadership thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors. my name is karen pierce. i'm a native san franciscan. i am a resident homeowner in bayview hunter's point. i have raised my kids in the city, and i am an employee of the san francisco department of public health. i spoke at the september hearing , and i just want to reemphasize the main points that i made. that is that the health departments is in crisis. and the way it is manifesting most is in the health of the people we se

>> i think people in business are like rodney king of the l.a. riots can't we just get along. think is your producer said part of this was theater. give president trump some credit for having that in the open. a lot of presidents have had those meetings behind closed doors. they are the offered one point x billion in border security funding, which is the budget request. so there's a middle ground there somewhere. is your producer was saying, one of the problems with speaker pelosi as she is not out of the woods yet on getting elected speaker so she can be seen as competing anything here because she's got to get elected speaker and she can't lose the progressive and the far left end of her caucus. i think they said that they had to say in front of the camera so hopefully they'll be meeting beyond not without the cameras there. 75% of the funding of the federal government in a given year has already been approved. neil: nothing these guys do is going to change that. that represents about three and a quarter trillion of the budget. let me start acting get your take on what that m

remembert my heart to during the rodney king beating president bush came on tv the same night of the beating and talked to the nation about how wrong it was to receive that kind of brutality. when you take the contrast between the current president, he said it the day after the young men wrestled the gun away from a guy at a waffle house in tennessee, he said the next a he was at an nra meeting and said nothing about the job and he wrestled -- about the gentleman who wrestled the gun away. in the kentucky shooting when he could not get into a black church and he shot two people at kroger. the president said nothing about it at all. then the alabama shooting. the good guy with the gun who was shot in the current president did not say anything. as a military member, the having soetween bush much honor and the current president. i'm sorry, people don't like this kind of comparison but it is there. if no one says anything about it, that would be wrong also. that is my comment. host: patrick from st. louis, missouri. good morning. caller: good morning. president as a child still. i look u
