ryan, stay with me. i want to bring in matt pierce, a reporter with the los angeles times. matt, you spoke with the fergusonolice chief right after ryan's arrest. what did he tell you? >> that's right. i was actually not near where ryan was at. i stepped into my car to charge my phone and i was looking at twitter and i saw that they had been arrested. so i couldn't quite believe that because i had just seen them earlier in the day conducting interviews so i called the ferguson police chief tom jackson and i told him what i had heard. he just told me, oh, god. and so he said he was going to make some phone calls. so i talked to him again about ten minutes later and he said that he called over to the st. louis county police who were running last night's crowd control and he said, i've told them to release them and said that they had probably been arrested by somebody who didn't know better. >> and you've been traveling to there, speaking with senator claire mccaskill, you are starting to see the elected officials weigh in. the senator says that she's working on demilitarizing the police response and her sayin

. >> i find interesting the president and rand paul i'm sorry paul ryan have said let's not politicize ferguson but yet in my view it is a political issue. because the more rioting rioting, looting, a disorder , it plays into the decider -- law and order for the desire. i see ultimately this will play into the hands of the republicans and it is a plus for the run for the senate. lou: this president also has the opportunity it seems to me to step forward as the first african-american by racial president to go to ferguson kevin meet the people and lead. he is running from ferguson is hard is seeking in. >> i'm sorry. he is between a rock and a hard place it becomes back from vacation with the idea may be i will do something with the executive order for amnesty for several million illegal immigrants which is not popular at all in the african-american community. lou: would there be more ferguson if he does that? he pits one group of people against the other. >> that is so true. lou: with ferguson he does not want to assert law-and-order despite what you think would be the proper response. with the

[indiscernible] people basically marching in circles around the area, chanting, protesting over the killing of michael brown. but the vast majority of the night, it was peaceful. people were enjoying the opportunity to protest. they had police on each side of them, heavily armed the i's police. around midnight, there was a large prayer held. many people participated after the prayer. local committee leaders who have been working with the police were attempting to get young people -- young man who are in the area to calm down and not escalate anything like that happen eyes before. a plastic bottle was thrown at the police. things quickly escalated. there was a lot of shouting. police were issuing orders for the media to disperse. the

ferguson, i focused on that. i hope you come back. we can talk about more ideas in your book. left of luck with it, congressman paul ryan. >> take care. >> residents here in ferguson are cleaning up from last night's protests where they were monitored by heavily armed police looking as if some of them were dressed tore combat with matching vehicles. it's a striking sight on streets of any american. tony. captain ron johnson leading the police in ferguson defended the level of response saying as officers they were in danger. >> last night, we had officers screaming for help because they were coming under fire. i looked at the faces of my officers saying please send help. please send help. >> johnson says they expect peace tonight. and we all hope that that's going to be the case. but i want to talk right now to democratic state senator jeff rorda, the business manager for the st. louis police officers association and a former chief of police. i want to get the police perspective from you. ferguson police are not talking to the press. i got some flack from your fellow men in blue yesterday for saying the scene looked like

paul ryan have said, let's not politicize ferguson, missouri, both of them. yet in my view, it is a political issue because the more rioting, the more looting, the more disorder, the more i believe this plays into the desire on the part of the american public for law and order because we've seen both on the border with mexico, disorder. we see overseas disorder. i think that ultimately this is going to play into the hands of the republicans. and i think it's a plus for them in their run for the senate. >> in the run for the senate. this president is also -- he has the opportunity, it seems to me, to step forward as the first african-americ african-american/biracial president, go to ferguson, meet with people and lead. >> yes. >> he is running from ferguson as hard as he can. >> he's between a rock and a hard place. on the one hand, he comes back from vacation with the idea, maybe i ought to do something with an executive order for amnesty for several million illegal immigrants, which is not popular at all in the african-american community. >> do you think the

ryan riley was reporting from ferguson last week and joins me now.'s a particular interest, of course, in ferguson now because of that heavy military style deployment, but "the huffington post," you guys have been reporting that this particular police force might not have been, let's say, the best trained to deal with the community they were policing. >> yeah, i think what we've seen is sort of a pattern emerge where we had a number of officers who had trouble in their past or problems in other departments end up in ferguson for one reason or the other. it's really a pattern we've seen emerge and a number of officers who allegedly had a history of even abusing children and a lot of problems in their past. >> and one of the people who wound up there, not saying he had problems there, but was officer darren wilson. how did he wind up in ferguson? >> essentially, another police department that had such big problems they essentially shut it down and a lot of officers were laid off and lost their jobs, and officer wilson ended up over in ferguson. one thi

abc's jim ryan is on the scene in ferguson this morning with the latest. >> don't shoot! hands up!e eighth day of demonstrations related to the police killing of 18-year-old michael brown and second night of a curfew imposed by the governor, the trouble began before the midnight deadline for clearing the street. someone reportedly threw a molotov cocktail at police. s.w.a.t. teams responded, firing tear gas and smoke grenade into protestors who gathered earlier in the day. a volley of tear gas followed as riot police on foot and armored vehicles moved down florissant avenue, toward the burned out convenience store that's become the epicenter of demonstrations for more than a week. some rioters placed landscaping blocks across florissant to prevent police vehicles from getting through. there were reports of gunfire, amid the confusion, and word of at least two injuries. after about an hour police appeared to have regained the upper hand as demonstrators moved out of the area. the scene was similar to the one that unfolded after midnight sunday morning, when police used tear gas on p

ferguson. i want to personally think captain ryan johnson for his outstanding leadership in helping bring calm he streets of ferguson while maintaining the rights of citizens to engage in peaceful protests. >> balance is important. the first amendment is extremely important. in action times like this, people being able to speak their concerns is vitally important. as a result of those actions, we have begun to see progress. on thursday night, peaceful protesters of all ages, races and creeds here in ferguson and in cities and towns across the nation. 80 separate cities called in one united voice for justice to be served. last night, except for a very now, the folks on the streets of ferguson last night were peaceful demonstrators, but we also saw a pattern develop last night where after hours of peaceful protesting, small groups took to the streets with the intent of committing crimes and endangering citizens. >> is unacceptable. each step of the way this week, i have been in touch with these local leaders. i just met once again with them to discuss the best course forward. i share their frustr

in fact ferguson's police chief was not in charge of the officers who arrested wes and ryan. for example, they were under the command of the st. louis county police. this is something that's unique to st. louis. you have several, several different municipalities, several different police forces involved with police in these protests. there's sort of a real ambiguity sometimes about who is in charge with these police, are there one group of officers that's more accommodating or friendlier than others. it's just really not clear. the ferguson police chief told me command of these officers on a nightly basis rotates every single night. so, you know, it sounds like there may not be the same people running it. so it's just very -- it's very ambiguous. >> that could lead to a lot of confusion. matt pearce of "the l.a. times" thanks for phoning in and your great reporting. stay safe. take care. >>> now to iraq and a piece of good news amid an otherwise daunting and dangerous situation. the u.s. now believes that american forces may not have to undertake an evacuation of those refuge
