st. louis county asked for the review. st. louis county, the city of ferguson, st. louis city all believed they benefited from that review. reviewing an officer or a number of officers is just often not enough. so i'm encouraging the department of justice to get back to having one of the options on the table, a full review by the civil rights division or some other division in the justice department, depending on the circumstances of not only the procedures but also the pattern that a department may have fallen into. we cannot continue over and over again to have the same thing happen as we as a society try to grapple with the same exact problem. this is not a new problem. it is long past the time we should have figured out how to deal with it. if departments need help in figuring out how to deal with it, that's one of the things, whether it was st. louis or baltimore, the justice department has shown some ability and some success in doing. i hope they will look at that again as they look at these three incidents that i mentioned today and others. it is time to move

st. louis city the next year. it is exactly what we are seeing happening across the country right now. and the idea that this president and not just this president, but the governors, and mayors, and police chiefs, are fundamentally not just okay, but are proud of the idea that they should be at war against the constituents who pay them and give them legitimacy, is precisely the problem that brought us to this point. look, dave died at hands of police in louisville last night, he was the favorite barbecue in town. the police projectile shot tear gas at them. chicago protesters were trapped by police, when they pulled up the draw bridges over the chicago river so they were actually unable to even abide by the curfew that was set. and just a few minutes ago, a few hours ago, miles from my home, white house protesters were gassed 25 minutes before the curfew was even going to take effect, also a president who told black people, we didn't have anything to lose with him, to invoke fascist iconography with a bible across the street from where he lives. if people don't believe us now, that po

i disagree with that i mean you've seen a spike in crime in the city of st louis crime is always currently with the budget in place that is currently in place where there's a bunch i'll say over 50 percent of the budget is going to public safety and i think we've seen when you reinvest back in the neighborhood and we build neighborhoods if it's homes it's making sure communities have quality health care or just health care facilities in the neighborhood it does make an impact and i know folks like to use as a talking point but the reality is that the budget that we have currently had has not made a change we continue to see a spike in crime so why don't we take a chance of doing something different and see how does that make him back in the neighborhood i think it's something that not just we understand here in missouri but all across the country that we need to reimagine what public safety is and our communities because it has not been going successful with over budget of our police departments when you say arey imagine ok let's talk about that and i'm sure you've been paying attention to

st. louis city police sergeant and she bleeds black and blue. she is just amazing.ll this, she has been just wonderful and i love her to pieces and she is just a rock. she has been strong. she has been very supportive of everybody, all my brothers and sisters as well. so i love her to death. we call her mama d. but she is just an amazing individual. she has really stood strong through this because she felt, she feel it on both sides, from a wife, a grieving widow wife as well as a police officer as well elizabeth: so you know, let's step back for a second. what was your reaction, what was your family's reaction to now 23 fatally shot dead in 2020? those are 23 dead cops so far this year. 600 cops assaulted during the protest. the psalm night your father was killed, i think four st. louis officers were shot. others were hit with rocks and fireworks and dozens of businesses were burglarized and damaged. what was your family's reaction to that? >> my reaction for that, it was really uncalled for. we were just, if the people were going out doing protesting, the peaceful

just want to keep the gravy train going new york city wants to sell those broadway tickets chicago wants the money from selling sausages and in st louis once the income that comes from people buying bus tickets out of st louis so cities and states are opening up but many employers are not giving their workers appropriate protective gear and amazon's whole foods didn't want to pay to protect their workers so instead the aprons that just said hero's on them i'm not getting and p.f. chang's has told employees that they should cover their faces with chunks of teriyaki chicken and if they see someone sneezing they should kill them with a karate chop to the neck p.f. chang's is also now in a protracted legal battle over their racist assumption that working at p.f. chang's means you're an expert at the karate chop i may have made up everything i said about p.f. chang's but they were thinking it. anyway the states want to force people back to work because the states do not want to keep paying millions of people unemployment benefits because that might facilitate an evolution in which human beings realize that work we are not passionate about

st. louis city hall. we also have footage of them taking down that same flag, the stars and bars confederate monument on the mississippi state flag. this is them taking it down in front of city hall in gulf port, mississippi, yesterday. city council in gulf port voted this week unanimously to stop conducting city business under the confederate flag. they took down the current mississippi state flag that has the confederate emblem on it and instead raised up what's called the magnolia flag, which was the first official state flag mississippi which does not have the confederate markings. in this kind of a moment in american history, it seems both good, i guess, and also unbelievable that it was necessary to move the president's rally in tulsa from tomorrow, juneteenth, to saturday instead once some poor young african-american secret service officer got the job of telling the president what juneteenth was because he'd never heard of it before. tomorrow in tulsa, there will be an all-day event in the historic

[screaming] >> connor martin, he suffered a concussion, laura. it was not being widely reported that this protest at the st. louis statue was organized and the regional muslim action network told the press commit is a revolution. the number one mission is to take this thing down. and also wants to rename the city of st. louis to, in her words, celebrate the city's racial ethnic and religious diversity. st

thank you mr chair members of the committee bruce franks from 78th district in the city of st louis the current deal is house concurrent resolution 7 days this bill speaks to a couple of different things firstly identifies use violence as a public health epidemic last year we had $200.00. yes over 51 percent of murders the victims were between the ages of $16.00 to $24.00 and that is a public health epidemic especially when we talk about communities with lack of resources this. last part of my bill. excuse me because like i just married at this my last. break in this bill. it identifies june 7th christopher harris day. in 1901. christopher hears my brother. was killed at 9 years old while. playing the ripple effect of. violence when it comes to youth violence as a whole. it stretches far why. i spend a lot of time talking to people you know a lot of times it seems like people listen when i've been faced them. when you come people listen. and give and i shouldn't have to become talking about racism but i do realize day folks may not come from where i come from. professional problems i ha

st. louis, near the city's main police precinct, a protest turned violent which led to a clash with police four st. louis police officers were shot, all them suffered life-threatening injuries. suspects were taken into custody in that event. in las vegas there were two protest-related shootings, one left of suspects dead and the other left a las vegas police officer on life support. it happened while police were trying to detain people who had thrown rocks and bottles into a crowd and then a shot rang out and the officer went down. i suspect was quickly apprehended. here's the sheriff. >> with these protests which are leading to riots, one tragedy is only leading to another. what has occurred is utterly unacceptable. i hope the community sees it that way, too. >> and in what appears to be a deliberate targeting of uniformed police officers, dave patrick underwood, an african-american officer for the department of homeland security was shot and killed by a drive-by shooter near the federal building in oakland california. a second federal officer was shot with him but survived. conversely in

st. louis, illinois. 7000 african-americans were rousted out of their homes and forced across the bridges into the city of st. louis to escape death. the estimate of how many were killed is just that. but they range in the hundreds of african-americans who were lynchedbl and murdered. as a result of that horrible experience in east st. louis and the race riot, congressman dyer a republican from st. louis introduce the federal antilynching law pretty past and the house of representatives there were 119 negative votes and among the negative votes were for members of the house who went on to become speakers. but they all four voted against the antilynching bill. it was by design. the combination of those who oppose it including southern democrats, stop the bill from being considered faced a filibuster, end of story but not the end of lynching by any means. lynching is a blight on american history prayed there's absolutely no reason why we should not include the adderall antilynching statute which passed the house 410 to four in this package that is being considered. i believe it may be part of scottsdale

st. louis. as their city degraded and fell apart around them became dirty and dangerous over the last decade, they did not flee to the suburbs many of their neighbors dead but stayed in their home. they've been in the same home for 32 years. they built it entirely slowly and painstakingly. they love it. on sunday, they sat on their backyard together having dinner. suddenly as they ate, a mob of hundreds of screaming people destroyed and came pouring in moving toward them quickly. they were terrified and watched as mobs looted and burned citizens around the country. was clearly intent on violence, they said so. when mccloskey told them to leave, they threatened to murder him and his wife and threatened to kill the family's dog. panicked, they called the police, than the call the neighborhood security patrol but no one came. they had no choice to protect themselves. they went inside and got there yes, legally registered firear firearms. it worked. met finally by citizens who dare defend themselves, and the mob retreated and melted away, but the terror did not end. the site of ordinary americans stan

st. louis. i'm wondering what you think, what's going on there and missouri, or even in the city of st. congress starts to talk about police reform. do you see that as something that you need? and what could happen? >> i think one of the more troubling turn on the fence here is this growing florist from across the country of the desired to be final and dismantled police departments. that is incredibly reckless. that's incredibly dangerous. quite frankly it would lead to chaos. we have serious public safety concerns across the country, and those issues are best hope when individuals from a law enforcement and the community work together. in a time where we see rising crime rates, we wouldn't want to lose funding for training, de-escalation, body mechanics, all those things are an important part to the solution as we move forward. defunding the police which is a radical idea that has grown support, would be misleading. >> dana: eric schmidt, attorney general of missouri. thank you for joining's. up next, the infectious disease doctor with a new warning about about coronavirus, plus the cr

st. louis side, kansas city side, eastern and western districts.n working with them already in unprecedented fashion in prosecuting violent crimes in that area. we announced through that partnership we're going to work together to prosecute those who are rioting and who are looting, really terrorizing our communities. we saw that play out in st. louis last night where you had four police officers who were shot. you had firefighters who were being assaulted as they were responding to small businesses being torn down, businesses that serve those communities and serve those communities for a very long time. you had a retired st. louis police officer shot and killed live streamed on facebook. and, you know, people celebrating. it was out of control. completely unacceptable. so i think it is going to take that kind of cooperation between federal and state prosecutors to bring these folks to justice. connell: what do we know about that case involving the four police officers so far? >> yeah. last night was really a chaotic scene. as you saw it play out a

in several cities last night, and four were shot and injured in st louis.ired shots at officers and now we have four in the hospital but thank god they are alive. they are alive. but... can we make some sense out of this? police are struggling to make sense of their role to restore law and order and also respond to the tragedy of minneapolis. we are appalled at what happened in minneapolis. period. but we have got to be better. in that city, faith leaders made clear they were siding with those calling forjustice. people are demanding that all of the officers involved in mr floyd's arrest to be charged. accountability in this case might be the beginning of an answer, but only the beginning. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, minneapolis. as you can see behind me, pictures there are protesters in washington. thousands of people have been gathering in many cities around the us, of course just to point out that the curfew is due to begin at 7pm local time, it is now seven minutes past local time. the protesters looks like our protesting around lafayette square whic
