go google tamir rice and watch the video yourself and you decide whether they really gave that child a chance to surrender. i think tamir, like trayvon went to his grave never knowing what he had did wrong. so in less than two seconds they got out and you see tamir falling over, and i know this is very emotional samaria, and i apologize, but we got to let people know the story because if not, they'll just sweep it under the rug. and so, tamir, this 12-year-old baby is down there on the ground in the snow in cleveland, ohio, and there at the community center and samaria will tell you how normal that day was when she gets the opportunity to speak to you, but his sister, his 14-year-old sister, tarjay, she came running out of the community center with the other children, and she is crying and it's so riveting to me. she's screaming, "they killed my baby brother, they killed my baby brother" and the other children have their cell phones out and they are recording it and one of the young men says, no no, he's not dead, he's still moving. and i'm listening to this cell phone, i'm saying, oh

take your example of tamir rice. when the officer arrived on the scene. they didn't see a 12-year-old boy. he called in a 19, 20-year-old man with a gun. we know from research that typically african-american youth, men particularly, are seen as five years older. so what was it about that brief interaction that didn't see tamir rice as a 12-year-old boy, but a man and a threat. the question we have to ask one another in our society is how do we unpack and break the stereotypes, without question, they are interaction. >> good to see you both. >> thank you >>> along with police shootings of unarmed black men in south carolina, new york and ohio, is a case of michael brown in ferguson, missouri. we'll talk to wesley bell, a newly elected member of the ferguson city council in a moment. stay with us, it's "inside story". >>> welcome back to "inside story" on al jazeera america. i'm ray suarez. when the killing of michael brown broke this ferguson, missouri and made nationwide new, americans began to learn more about the community just outside st. louis. it had

no one has been charged in tamir rice's killing. in february it was suburban madison, alabama when somebody reported a stranger walking through the neighbor. patel was a grandfather in the neighborhood visiting his family. one of the officers slammed him to the ground so brutally it left him paralyzed. that officer was charged with third degree assault and felony civil rights abuse. a man was shot who had been throwing rocks at him. seemed to be having some sort of episode. they shot the man, 17 times, as he ran away from them. nobody's been charged in that incident. last month, in michigan there was a man named floyd dent who said he was pulled over and badly beaten by police and left with a fractured eye sokt and broken ribs. in that inkster case the charge against mr. dent was erased. we got video of the officers appearing to spray floyd dent's blood off their clothes. exchanging fist bumps, celebrating how well that arrest went and an attorney says that his client was still lying there needing medical attention out of the view o

their reports about the incidents and then later on we see videotape come out like we did in the tamir riceke we did in the eric garner case, like we did in the south carolina shooting that seemed to conflict with what the officers are saying. i'm not surprised that one is lawyered up and others are being sparse with what they're saying. >> one thing that we had heard is that on friday the police chief, danny, came out and said yeah we made a mistake and a big mistake was not giving freddie gray the medical attention that he asked for. we're going to address that in just a moment. >>> now, please listen in to a press conference held by the baltimore mayor, stephanie rawlings blaik rawlings blake. >> offered their leadership and support during this difficult time. i want to thank or host for this evening, reverend dr. frank, i have to say your full name, frank madison reid iii. i want to thank bishop and angel nunez, bilingual church new harvest ministries reverend dr. todd douglas memorial church bishop michael mcdermott life source international. howard henderson, baltimore urban league. t

meanwhile, police in cleveland responded to a call in a local park. 12-year-old tamir rice had been playing with a realistic looking pellet gun. within a blink of pulling up to him in that park one of the officers shot and killed that 12-year-old kid. that was in november. no one has been charged in the killing. in february with police in madison, alabama, somebody reported a stranger walking through the neighborhood. mr. patell was a grandfather. one of the officers slammed him to the ground so far, it left him paralyzed. that officer was charged with felony civil rights abuse. that same month, police in washington shot an unarmed man who had been throwing rocks at him. they shot him 17 times as he ran away from him. 17 times. he was killed. no one has been charged. last month in inkster, michigan floyd dent came forward to say he had been pulled over and beaten by police. he was left with a fractured eye socket and broken ribs. it all happened to him in january, but the tape of his beating has been playing on a loop in the detroit area since it surfaced a few weeks ago. last week, one of

we saw 12-year-old tamir rice gunned down by a police officer in what many view as a drive-by shooting. rice didn't present any danger to the offer who simply pulled up and really without warning shot him dead to the ground. based on a call that had been made that someone seemed to have a toy gun. then of course in new york city, eric garner was strangled to death with the use of a choke hold employed by a police officer despite the fact that for the previous 20 years choke holds have been unauthorized as part of the poll sthoif nypd. 11 different times eric garner a father of six, said he couldn't breathe and on 11 different occasions the officers whrp there failed to respond to mr. garner's pleas for help. as a result he was killed. on a new york city street. for all the world to see. and then a grand jury fails to indict even on simple asalt. and now of course we've got the tragedy of walter scott. someone who was killed running away from a police officer after having been tazed. and it's not clear to me that it's a courageous -- that if a courageous bystander hadn't captured that i

the most egregious case of a lack of screening is in the mirror -- tamir rice shooting.

the most egregious case of a lack of screening is in the mirror -- tamir rice shooting. >> why should these isolated incidents not have the same or at least similar reactions? >> i have no idea. again, my point is there seem to be a scarcity of good statistics except we know that african-americans are more likely to be shyot and arrested. we do not know the gross numbers on that. have patience with this idea that we keep stringing together all these isolated incidents when you have 10 or 20 isolated incidents. it seems to be you have a pattern. that seems like logic to me. >> i would just add that 9/11 was not in fact an isolated incident. it was the biggest ring to hit this country. i think some measure of better security and better preposition -- preparation was warranted. the problem is when it was in all the crannies and we use tools to combat terrorism a bunch test against a bunch of kids, who do nothing. that is the problem. i think both are patterns and it is the intersection of those patterns that has been a particular problem. >> opk, next question. >> i have a question. how

i think the most egregious case of a lack of screening is in the tamir rice shooting where he had been kicked out of a police force of a smaller jurisdiction and for whatever reason partly due to privacy law, so there is legal apparatus not just with the unions. this is just straight up privacy laws as i understand them but that it didn't have any idea that the previous police force he worked for thought he was horribly unsuited and not just unsuited but unstable. and you saw he just jumped out of the car and shot thank you. it was not two seconds of delay. there was no assessment of what was going on in the scene. and you know, somebody like that just should not be carrying a gun and a shield. [applause] >> let me put this into context, it's a good question of what you're touching on very early on on the systemic of what is a policeman see how could you change it, how could you trained to have a policeman see differently? >> i can't improve upon it after that was just given. i do know that it needs to be more difficult in terms of because i can't answer that question because i don't k

speaker, for my friend fred hamilton, my friend in 1969, to michael brown and aaron garner and tamir rice and now freddie gray in 2015, we are seeing too many young men of color fall victim to the very same people who were sworn to serve and protect. this mother is demonstrating the power of a mother's love. the power of a mother's courage. she walked into harm's way straightforward, directly to, located her son evan's demonstrating -- and is demonstrating the power that is beyond imagination and beyond a ll selflessness. to honor her and the important role that all mothers, mamas, our mothers, including my own mother, to honor them and to honor all the role they play in taking back our streets. and ending the violence that plagues our communities all across the nation. i humbly call on america's mothers, those in the african -american community in those outside, those in urban areas and those in rural areas. all american mothers to wear ye llow, to wear yellow, to wear yellow on mother's day in a symbolic show of solidarity and to create a mother's in yellow movement to end the violence

since then there have been 12 high profile incidents involving unarmed black men and in the case of tamir riceaking to the streets, exercising their first amendment rights and expressing a sense of outrage and a sense of it's time to change the way things are in a way we haven't seen wolf in decades. this is unprecedented. we support, encourage and associate ourselves with peaceful protest. what we have to do is we have to have a national anti-racial profiling law. what we have to see in maryland is comprehensive reforms to the baltimore police department. there's a role for the governor and the legislature to play. that is the repeal of a law enforcement officers bill of rights. so these actions have to lead to concrete steps with respect to change. i think that is why this is going to continue and i think it's going to continue to grow. let's also wolf not lose focus on the investigation into the death of mr. gray. an investigation that continues and an investigation for which there hasn't been if you will an update on the status of that investigation. i would hope that the officials in balt

surveillance video in cleveland, ohio showing police and killing 12-year-old tamir rice after responding. >> may i see your license, please. >> get out of the car, get out of the car, and this one also in south carolina where a state trooper shot and wounded a man for reaching for his license. >> why did you shoot me? i just got my license. you said get my license. wednesday mayor keith summey announce all north charleston police will soon be fitted with body cameras. >> body cameras are absolutely necessary, not just in south carolina and nationwide because you can expect to be treated better by someone that is wearing a microphone and wearing a camera at the same time. >> reporter: other police departments have done the same. seattle pd even posts their videos to youtube. >> where my head goes the camera goes basically. >> reporter: as we get more and more video what do you think that will mean moving forward? >> what it will mean is better treatment for minorities better treatment for our population that is so underserved by the police and better treatment for people like in this case

now we're doing the same in cleveland, ohio with tamir rice 12 years old.verybody was outraged when we showed the video. they were being untruthful when they said to drop his weapon and hut his hands up. so when we say justice delayed, normally it means justice denied. >> i want to go quickly to miguel marquez, who's right there in baltimore in the midst of this information. you're getting more information, miguel. what are you learning. >> reporter: yeah look, this is what they asked for. the gentleman with the justice for freddie cap and baltimore cap is mr. gray's father. the woman with the hoodie on and now has her hand up is her mother. she has not been able to take her sunglasses off and keep it together the entire time. they are marching back to the place where their son was last seen alive and not in a coma just a few blocks from here. the pastor who is representing them here is also calling for a protest at baltimore city hall at 3:00 p.m. on thursday. they want to keep the pressure up as much as possible on the city. they are asking that all -- th

been through the last year, the videotaped killings of walter scott, freddie gray eric johnson, tamir rice she's not going out on a limb because the nation knows what she's talking about now. rand paul senator paul was expected to run for president or is running for president he's been working with democratic senator cory booker on criminal justice reform. i think republicans would be smart to follow in this instance rand paul's lead. they would not be going out on a limb. they would be listening to the american people that they say they listen to all the time. >> reporter: that sets it up nicely for viewers because we want to play something that rand paul said about the violence and the issue of the lack of followers. take a listen. >> the breakdown of the family structure, the lack of fathers -- lack of sort of a moral code in our society. and this isn't just a racial thing. it goes across racial boundaries. >> reporter: referencing the breakdown of moral code. he wasn't trying to be specific. speaking about the african-american community -- do you think he did that well and with nuance?

. >> it could affect it significantly, and tamir rice, the cleveland 12-year-old who was shot and killedt happened to him when the city blamed him when he says it contributed to his own death. it outraged the community. when we hear transparency to the community to give them information, they've erred on the side of common sense, of course, community knowledge, community knowing, community participation. while legally, it certainly would impair their position, from a practical perspective, you want people to know exactly what happened. there's two tracks that we should keep in mind, christi. one, of course, is the prosecutorial track, if there's liability, they should be prosecuted. the other would relate to civil liability. not being seat belted, that's not a crime, not seat belting nick but if you did it for rough purposes, we've talked about how they've ridden partners around in the past in effort to harm them. and it becomes a mental state. and then of course, the other issue, not relating to not buckling them down, but relating to not giving medical treatment that of course could be

you don't know if you have a tim loman like the one that killed tamir rice or a darren wilson. but he did a bad thing and he was trying to get away. that's inherent to police work. we know people don't want to go to jail. we got to take them into custody but we have to do it professionally ethically and morally right. there's a way to do that. it happens every day. police officers are doing their job the right way. and these few are giving the profession a black eye. >> well it's a good perspective to have there. the overwhelming majority of officers like when you were doing the job are doing it the right way. we're focusing on the bad apples because that's how you cause change. sergeant dorsey thank you very much. we'll continue the conversation. poppy. >>> well it is day one of a life sentence for aaron hernandez, the former nfl star convicted of first-degree murder sentenced to life in prison without parole during the dramatic conclusion to his lengthy trial. now the jurors following seven days of deliberations are speaking out about why they made the decision they did. susa

tamir rice, ohio. akai gurley, new york. carlos perez, nevada. kajimi powell, missouri. ezeal ford. dillon taylor, utah. nahisis of colorado. charlie landeaux and the list goes on and on. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. burgess: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. burgess: i thank you, mr. speaker. april 1, just a few days ago, most people don't realize it but the center for medicare and medicaid services reduced physician reimbursement for medicare patients by 21%. this occurred as a matter of law. this is a deadline that we've been up against before, a drama we've seen played out in this house multiple times during my tenure here. this time it's different because the house of representatives right before the end of march, chose to act and passed by vote of 392 individuals to repeal this formula that

under surveillance video in cleveland, ohio police killing tamir rice there were reports he had a gunt he had a pellet gun. >> he got a gun, get out of the car. in this one also in south carolina where a straight trooper shot and wounded a man for reaching for his license. >> why did you shoot me? i just got my license. you said get my license. >> reporter: soon all north carolina police will be out with body cameras. >> body cameras are absolutely necessary, not just in south carolina but nationwide you can expect to be treated better. >> reporter: other police departments have done the same. seattle pd even posts their videos to youtube. >> and my head goes the camera goes basically. >> when we get more and more video, what do you think that will mean going forward? >> i think better treatment for our minorities and our population so deserved by the police. better for people that feel like the police simply aren't there to protect them. >> reporter: with the advance in technology a hope nor more accountability and transparency. we heard from the white house yesterday, white house pr
