reaction to on sunday the police fired rubber bullets and pepper balls and a crowd or many women and children were present yesterday police once again fired pepper balls and beanbags they used pepper spray and they were wielding their baton towards the crowd now one man was sent to the hospital after being shot in the head with the pepper ball members of the media including our guest tonight tim pools that they were also fired at after identifying themselves as members of the media staff at k.f. i am reported on twitter at the same thing happen is that it's a typical kind of coverage that we always seen events like this and believe me i would prefer that there's no violence i don't think the protesters should be be vandalizing. business is throwing rocks at police but you have to talk about all sides you have to report on the entire situation which include which includes aggressive violent action on the part of the police the thing is that sure the mainstream media is now covering this situation and hype but this kind of thing happens all over the country all the time and for the mos

not all police departments and officers have essentially gotten the memo and so often police officers will intimidate citizens into thinking that they do not have the right to report police but it's essential that in such a situation citizens recognize that they absolutely do have the right to record to the police and they need to understand how to stand up to the police in those situations so i mean despite the fact that this is a fundamental right and most states the majority of the states it still happens so i mean what if they are police officers ignorant of the law in some ways yes a lot of legislatures have come up with wiretapping laws that are a little bit legally complicated but essentially two of the harshest wiretapping laws in the nation in massachusetts and in illinois that made it a felony to openly record the police essentially was a misreading the courts there have struck that down and have said very unimpaired you asli that citizens have the right to record the police and so why don't police are slowly going to be coming around i mean you know chief lanier ha

conversation with ivory madison in which she comes up with a plan to have phil bronstein call the chief of police and district attorney to have a meeting at her house. >> yes. >> and one of the things you write in your declaration and by the way, would you like to have a copy of your declaration right now? >> this is the portion they objected to and we agreed to accept the objection. chairperson hur: is that true, mr. keith? >> yes, paragraph 12, line. >> not the next part i'm going to ask about. >> lines 10 through 12 and they objected and we accepted the objection. chairperson hur: i thought paragraph 12 was stricken completely. >> i'm giving her her declaration to ask about paragraph 13, a portion that was not stricken. chairperson hur: i think you can show her her declaration. is there an objection to showing her the declaration? >> no. >> i just want to the make it available so the witness has it. chairperson hur: that's fine. >> so, in paragraph 13 of your declaration, you wrote, and this is in reference to the january 4 conversation, "i asked ivory questions trying to show her that her pla

people who are shot by the police and this happens time and time again the first information that's released usually is after the victim's name is on the come on record and what they were doing apparently when the shooting occurred which is usually some sort of crime or bam part of some gang in the neighborhood you know one of the engines that you know if you're going to be in it one of the things that's important is that oftentimes and i'm just talking to somebody in media we get the police version first you know if we work for a big mainstream outlet they tell you call the police spokes person get their perspective and then it becomes gospel that gets put out there and so as the young lady was saying what's included is his criminal past so even if it was twenty years ago that somehow makes the narrative which in people's minds justifies whatever actions take place what we don't talk about is when we find out that maybe this oftentimes this person wasn't committing any sort of criminal activity i mean we have a situa

have the police talked about that at all? ifiable that the community would be absolutely outraged about that. >> they have been tight-lipped about what exactly happened. there was a suggestion from the police unions that dias had something in his waistband that caused the police officers to be alarmed. but that does not answer the question of what the eyewitnesses saw. he was shot in the leg. he went down. he was no longer a threat to anyone, and still apparently the police officer shot him in the head and killed him. >> cenk: he was unarmed to begin with. considering him a threat is string. on the online show on "the young turks" we talked with others who had reports with what the cops from doing last night as well. >> one point where tim and i were just in the middle of the street photographing a dumpster that was on fire. there had been a fire truck blocking the middle of the streets. when that truck pulled away all of a sudden it revealed a wall of police officers that just started firing indiscriminately don't the street.

the police shot him on the scene. in march, the police chief went out and did a community meeting. community was already outraged. they're saying, all you seem to care about is when you think we're doing something suspicious. when we call you for actual crimes being committed, instead of the supposed crime of looking suspicious, you ignore as. this case happened. blocks away. this all happened on sunday night. i think what is going happen in terms of community response, will happen tonight at the city council meeting. there'll be a protest earlier, some of the mothers whose children were killed by police officers. again, things are going to happen with police departments. if someone tries to shoot at you, the police officers by law have every right to shoot back. but when the of eight cases in the span of a year and many more in the past couple of years, you have to ask, "what on earth is going on in the anaheim police department?" >> in the land of disneyland. >> exactly. i was born and raised in an angry at i always find it fascinating how the rest of the country, all they carry a

>> when she brought the idea to call the police and was not my idea, i was asking questions like, why, what could happen, of course, yes, i was asking questions. but your question was? >> did ms. madison. >> did she offer? yes, the answer is yes. >> thank you. >> i want to finish -- yes, she offered to help me and she offered to looking for all the information as a lawyer. >> ok. >> i finish. >> now, in your declaration, you describe a conversation with ivory madison in which she comes up with a plan to have phil bronstein call the chief of police and district attorney to have a meeting at her house. >> yes. >> and one of the things you write in your declaration and by the way, would you like to have a copy of your declaration right now? >> this is the portion they objected to and we agreed to accept the objection. chairperson hur: is that true, mr. keith? >> yes, paragraph 12, line. >> not the next part i'm going to ask about. >> lines 10 through 12 and they objected and we accepted the objection. chairperson hur: i thought paragraph 12 was stricken completely. >> i'm giving her her

the police commission is a civilian body. the function is to assist the police department in building trust with the community, by being the bridge between the public in the police in matters of police misconduct and police policies. to that end, the office of citizen complaints has a mission to ensure police accountability, by conducting fair, timely, and unbiased investigations, and by making recommendations on police policies and practices, and conducting mediations between complainants and the police. the office investigates civilian complaints against san francisco police officers, and make policy recommendations on police department policies. in california, law enforcement agencies must have a procedure to investigate complaints by members of the public against police officers. we serve that function for the seventh fiscal police department. we are staffed by a diverse group of civilians who have never been san francisco police officers. there is a 35 member staff. the majority of the staff is investigators. the balance

ivory, she wants to call the police and call political enemies. so was absolutely three different conversations. and i didn't told linnette all the information about phil brownstein or pamela harris, gavin newsom, all this. i didn't share that with linnette. >> ok. now, do you think ivory madison is trying to get your husband politically? >> well, a person who said screw him, i have a lot of friends ready to help. they just need to make the decision what that means. >> do you think it was ivory madison's goal to ruin your husband politically? >> i have to object, relevance. >> ms. lopez has made it relevant through her declaration. >> overruled. >> i do not think that, because on january 1, that was not her plan. >> but on january 4 it was her plan, you thought? >> she was telling me screw him. that is not let's work on your marriage or something positive. >> ok. was ivory madison donating the maximum amount by law to your husband's campaign part of her conspiracy to get him. >> objection, it's argue meanttive. >> sustained. >> ivory madison hosted

the n.y.p.d. does its policing is a sort of powell doctrine ask idea of having so many sort of troops on the ground that it's is it just creates an amazing advantage for them i mean i've been in situations where myself and a couple of activists have been. virtually surrounded by thirty or forty riot police and. they hold their betimes out and chant move together in a sort of creepy military ask way and and that's really what you see a lot of in new york and it keeps it keeps a lot of those kinds of instances off the out of the papers and off you tube but the idea that there is any sort of balance in violence is just absurd and we you know we should mention of course occupy wall street started back in september in new york near wall street but these movements have taken place all of. around the world and and what we saw in new york is a little bit different in terms of what happened with other movements around the country i want to talk for a moment about oakland it was of course there that an occupy protester veteran actually scott olsen was critically wounded due to police but once that happened t
