and now we're just fighting the gourd on one of the police cordons. and basically separates the central part of the city from the rest of it we're trying to get inside hopefully we'll be able to do so it's mayhem behind the barricades where we're standing right now as far as we can tell from numerous reports the police have been trying to storm the independence square some some tweets accounts are reporting that it finds the storm the souls of the independence square the the site of the girl that's what has been going on for almost two months now more than two months in fact it's been taken already more than an hour but i'll be able all be able to say more in in a space of maybe peeking in minutes when i get down then on bail to see with my own eyes what's happening but we do you do have reports of the water cannons used by the police against the protesters well the protesters are using live weapons as well as multiple tails and grenades at the police so the situation is definitely boiling thoughts right now and we are waiting for the emergency meeting

the police did not emerge to kill someone. i believe the problem is with the street crimes unit who wound up shooting him. what i believe happened with stop and risk over the years as bureau contracts had to show production that they were getting guns off the street, it escalated to more stops than reasonbly should have occurred because they had to prove that they were doing things. >> paperwork. >> bureaucracies do that, and that shut should not happen. those who have been stopped were not stopped on park avenue and 59th street. they were stopped in their neighborhoods, crown heights, harlem, high crimes precincts, and the persons who have been shot, robbed, assaulted were black and hispanic men and women and children. the cops are trying to do their jobs to reduce a those incidents. if a person of color is stopped in a colored neighborhood, that's supposed to happen. it makes no sense to stop a white person in a high crime black neighborhood. they're less likely to have committed crime unless they've been described. a tall pe

protesters again starting off in what they usually call it protests have stormed the police who were trying to protect the ukrainian parliament during the vote that was supposed to take place there earlier on tuesday but that of course quickly spiraled out of control we do know from the police who are saying that at least thirty seven off their police members have been wounded five of them according to the police authorities have sustained gunshot wounds now they are saying that this is the first time that the activists the opposition protesters are using live ammunition however the opposition is saying. that the five dead that they have that they are reporting are also have also been killed with live and also really unclear what's going on there as you have seen there are people who are dual like they could be wearing some sort of special gear was if they are from the police at the same time. the police force as you can see all hell is breaking loose in the in the ukrainian capital right now earning fires burning all over the place actually all over the center of the city and actuall

department is that we have always been ahead of the curve in terms of policing, for example, you with the hostage negotiation that has saved lives, that is now moved to where we have crisis intervention trained officers to the cit on them and we are at the forefront of doing things differently for the benefit of the public and the foundation that comes from you two men who served this department, and i am very proud to have you here tonight and i am proud that the chief recognizes that you never leave this police department and once you are part of the family you will always be part of the family, so on behalf of the commission and i know that the commissioners may have something to say, i want to thank both of you for your service to the city in which you have done, you are san francisco's finist and thank you very much. >> thank you. >> commander? >> and this man is typical of the people that i worked with. i was privileged to be a founder among the founders of the police hostage negotiation team. ultimately regarded as probably the first, one of the best in the country, t

the police have moved in. hat looked like people throwing their own tents into the fires, its turns out, according to the reporters, those were actually police who were tearing all of their stuff up and burning their property. this, of course, just ambulance workers. if and when the camera pulls out you can see the predicament. it's now police mixed with protesters and it's been a volatile clash over the last 20 minutes or so. not the least of which is these injuries have -- the people have sustained happened all over. they're trying to get ambulances in. the crowd have been parting to the ambulance can come into the square. the camera pull ought now. it's a little distracting, especially in the dark of night. everyone seems to be wearing helmets-not just police, but protesters as well. you can see the flags of the opposition here and the flames burning, and the monument -- i don't see in this picture, this wall is so big -- i believe that might be the mon independent the corner. you can see the fires are still

the police are seem to be very concerned of what's happening here over there as you can see the police line is here and over there the protesters they lit the tires on fire again the coal areas covered with black smoke it's hard to see to breathe and the police are pretty much everywhere across the place heavy presence right now especially after the information that reportedly protesters in the western part of the country divina from cost city stole at least fifteen thousand bullets several hundred handguns and machine guns from the security services arsenals and they're bringing over to kiev that is definitely meeting tougher security measures everywhere across the country tougher police cordons moving but you can see for yourself the movement of the police is they're all taking all the time they're moving their forces now and then it's not particularly violent at the moment although just a few minutes ago we saw from this building over there which is used to be the police or the revolution headquarters in the form of a labor union building several mortar cocktails were thrown right a

they happen to be on file in the police station. they belong to a man named rudy guede, an african immigrant's son. >> rudy guede was a drifter, originally from the ivory coast. he partied on the periphery of student life and was suspected of recent crimes around perugia. >> rudy had a history of knives and violence and break-in. >> he had blood, traces all over the crime scene, left his feces in the toilet. although that degrades dna very rapidly, there was dna out there as well. >> his blood and fingerprints are on her purse. and there are bloody hand prints and blood down the walls of her bedroom. he may have been surprised -- i don't know why he left. he didn't complete the act of rape. she had a tampon in at the time. maybe that's why. >> guede left for germany. he admitted to a friend he had been with meredith that night but claimed he didn't kill her. his connection with amanda, raffaele and meredith was thin at best. >> there's a question about whether amanda and meredith knew him. amanda said i had seen him, but i didn't kno

we would like to invite the police up to speak on the conditions >> good evening. i'm officer torres representing the tenderloin police district we had a chance to speak with the applicants and satisfied with their business plan we recommend approving this permit with the conditions if you like i can read them. the first condition is that the permit holder should conform to the attached information good neighbor policy under the planning code. i gave them a copy of the condition. condition two no noise audible outside the establishment during the daytime or night time hours we have n them in front of us >> okay. we ask you put those conditions on this permit if it gets approved if you have any questions i mean, i'll answer them. >> commissioners any questions for officer torres? >> i would like to mention also that the old original jose restaurants has been vacant for a several years and somewhat has gotten deteriorated and we'd to see a business like this go there it will clean up that block. >> all right. thank you. all right. i don't see any questions from commi

the police in this country the police in london would open for on a crowd you would have to have a single and defined target that was an immediate threat to provoke an all response police in this country but then again we have not had to have we'll have to do with drawings from revolution of the level that's going on here for quite difficult to draw parallels between what we're seeing here and what would go on with such a scenario in london sure it is very clear we're getting evidence that writers are indeed using light farms against police officers thirteen now i understand have been killed several hundred injured and yet western governments are still criticizing authorities in ukraine for excessive force is that fair. i think you really have to know the minutiae of this to do so i do you know who was the worst protagonist in all of this what i would say is that every situation we generally find that there is a small minority who are prepared to go beyond a certain point to provoke the situation to one that would suit their purpose in other words they will incite this convoy of us it was

the police. the part of the world which is the protesters rick perry the police pretty much the scene we have to see over the several months you need to cut the gun so the blood can get through this book and not by the police being the kind of. famous my gun to match up with a plan this may and started your own business and or going to the so-called peaceful march to the parliament no one planning to clear those riots. if you know by those who may have or didn't know the government just doesn't occur to you that no cars can get inside the city by midnight and still far before we have seen major coming from the police force that we're going. to the square to report just. a very. very good time being. over there very good to me for more than two months and not very good not so good when there will soon be dismantled so it will be no way it's going to go with much to do with the need such. as election to show keeping us up to date with the latest from kiev he's also posting video from the center of t

cordons moon but you can see for yourself the movement of the police is they're all taking all the time they're moving their forces now and then it's not particularly violent at the moment although just a few minutes ago we saw from this building over there which is used to be the police or the revolution headquarters in the form of a labor union building several mortar cocktails were thrown right at the place where i'm standing right now as you can see it looks like a genuine war zone with all the rubble with all the rocks which were thrown at the police the remains of most of cocktails garbage everything so this used to be a beautiful area in central city of kiev is pretty much a telling story of what it has become over the past several days this is a true mayhem and right now you can call it a standstill you can call it pretty much a concentration compared to violence last night and violence on tuesday but you never know what's going to happen next because everyone behind those this line of fire behind the barricades over there they're expecting another assault from the poli

and dozens of others have been shot by the police. in some cases, it has been live ammunitions and in some cases, rubber bullets. they have been shot in the head and the legs, and one young man lost his right eye after being shot by the police in clashes. the square right now is completely filled with thick, black smoke emanating from mounds of burning tires. set in front of protester barricades. the police continue to launch teargas and flash grenades at the protesters on the square, while the profiters hurl molotov cocktails, and anything they can get their hands on over the police lines. it's absolutely chaos and mayhem on the streets. women and children, for the last six hours, have been told not to come down to the square. if they are there, they're being asked to leave, and in some cases they're being forced out of the square. the police are also using bull horns to encourage women and children to leave the square. so it seems as though they have a mandate to clear the square. as of right now, there's a fire burn on the h 6th and

now, to be clear, the police officers from ft. lee, the ft. lee police department, they had no idea what was going on with the shutdown. remember, they were totally blindsided. they had no notice, no warning, no explanation. what we're talking about is not the ft. lee police department but the port authority police and apparently, or at least reportedly, they were the ones telling motorists, hey, blame the mayor of ft. lee, why don't you call him and complain? the "bergen record" tracked down people who say, in fact, that is what happened to them when they were trying to commute on those days. quote, as motorists slowly rolled toward the bridge's toll booths, many rolled down their windows and asked police what was causing this. aggravated motorists were told by port authority officers at the scene they should call the mayor or town officials. one commuter explained to the "bergen record" in an interview, quote, an officer sought him out, sought the driver out. the driver say, i didn't motion to the police officer. he kind of motioned to me. ar

robber's partner plans to say that hitting the police car is an accident. because law enforcement doesn't make it to the scene in time, there's no need for the men to go forward with their plan of ramming the mini van into the police car. the lookout man drives his minivan to the gas station located in the parking lot. he pumps gas and nervously watches as his friend leaves. police arrive at the bank. the accomplice who can see the bank from the parking lot gas station quickly gets into his car and drives away. the thief heads out of town in a blue cadillac. what he doesn't know is that one of the bank employees has been able to give police a description of his vehicle. >> the first responding officers got a description out over the air to surrounding departments. minutes later, officers from springfield township spotted a similar vehicle going northbound on 309. >> one headlight was out, which obviously would be grounds to pull the vehicle over. when he got behind the vehicle, he noticed it matched the make and model and general description

the police station. that car without the lights on went right past the police station. you think they didn't notice? follow that car. the car without lights goes the wrong way down a one-way street. and the cops are right on his tail. it is getting serious now. on route 1, the car with no lights comes to the brief stop and as it does, a man jumps from the car. a naked man jumps from the car. i will get back to him in a minute, but in the meantime, the chase is still on. at the laurel shopping scenter, that suspect car without lights trying some nascar moves to shake the cops, but when that didn't work, it was back to route 1, and off to howard county. here is the car america dealership, and the car hits a toyota before running into a pole. turns out that the car belonged to the naked man who was robbed by the suspects who forced him to strip. >> they wanted to make sure that he had nothing else to steal. >> and he was stark naked? >> stark naked. or taken to the hospital, and charged with kidnapping and other charges are more likely. and the naked man, the police gave hi

and we did what we called a police car lineup. >> the witness identified the police car as one from ty of monroe, but that police department had a 110-man force, and it could have been any one of them, since they can use their vehicles while off duty. so investigators tried to find some way to narrow it down. and latent evidence expert, ricky navarro, looked for clues on kim medlin's clothing. that's when he noticed a print on her sweatshirt. >> at that point in time, i could not determine whether i was looking at a footwear impression or some other type of object that left that impression on the sweatshirt. >> using alternate light sources and high-speed cameras, navarro concluded he was looking at the heel of a shoe. >> it was a type of shoe that was not flat from toe all the way back to the heel. it had a distinct heel in it which, like some of your hard-soled shoes would have, not like your athletic shoes would have. >> >> >> m sty ti m they also dis pickup t ba it actu >> str monroe polic >> station t or form. a old. force for no josh, he was kind of kn police-is had thr that ni

commission was the need for what is not being incorporated in police collision reports. traffic collision report 555 does not allow in this space for the responding officers to cite whether or not any party had a disability so the report that you approved for the strategy did not incorporate any components based on data from the police department on pedestrian collisions with people who had pre-existing disabilities in them, so i ask you to work with the police department to revise the collision reporting form. it has been done by los angeles. otherwise cities in the state of california use the california highway patrol form so there is precedence for san francisco police department with your input and also from the pedestrian safety advisory committee to revise the traffic collision report to state whether or not any party in a collision had a disability that relates to the collision. they did not know -- it was not reported that armstrong who met -- who was a fatality at octavia and market that he used a wheelchair. it was not cited in the collision report cited by the

tonight, why the far better paid port authority police got to big foot the metropolitan police. >> head of the union, not only defending so-called traffic study. then calling it garbage, the whistleblower here on the director of the bridge commission said there is no traffic study. why do we have the police union so intricately involved in covering for the governor? >> it is a huge question we are trying to get an answer to. there has been a lot said about this police union being the groupt that enforced christie early on. as you mentioned keeping them in control of patrolling the world trade center and cited not letting the police officers, boots on the ground so to speak be replaced with technology. there is definitely some sort of relationship there. we don't know why specifically he was saying this was actually a traffic study and he called for it. he hasn't taken our call on this question. >> he not only called it a traffic study which doesn't look to be the case at all but said it was garbage, a load of garbage when the whistleblowerer said it was all nonsense. why would he go so

are now using live ammunition in clashes many of the protesters and police officers killed or injured since tuesday sustained gun wounds today is being described as the deadliest day in the protests to date correspondent alexei you're a chef he joined us earlier and shared with us his harrowing experience in ukraine including being shot at. well right now we're pretty much ok it's been a very turbulent day for us first of all getting here to a hotel ok you know where i am right now which is pretty much a fortress of the opposition right in groups at the moment was a nightmare because all the adjoining streets were blocked off by the police and the first thing i saw on my way here was a policeman beaten to a bloody mass carried on the stretcher and i was really surprised to see that because last night supposedly the opposition and the government and the president have managed to agree on a truce on a ceasefire so it looked nothing like a like a ceasefire from the first minutes i got here then i had a live broadcast at nine o'clock in the morning and while i w

the benefit is that our leaders in the police department, our captains of the district stations, now have the ability to sit at their computer and see where collision vs taken place in the last four hours, the last 24, the last week, and that allows them to direct resources to those areas as appropriate and i think it's an incredibly huge step towards making the data real time and this in turn is going to help in terms of our traffic engineering, having this information as well, so these are some of the things we're doing. the biggest cog in the wheel that we focused on is enforcement and we're doing that and as that increases we will get beat up more so we're hopeful that the complaints of inappropriate citation issuances don't we have better things to do than give people tickets for speeding or not adhering to the rules of the road? when those come in agency the officers we're hoping all that said we need to increase it come to bat for the officers so they feel supported in that effort. >> thank you. so supervisor tang has a few questions. >> just one quick question. so you mention
