joining me now are the two men arrested while they were covering that protest, ryan frank and umar lee. thank you both for being here. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for having us. >> let me start with you, umar, why did the place say they were arresting you? >> the police said they were arresting us for failing to obey an order. we were standing on a public sidewalk monitoring the events. they were using teargas, rough house tactics in the streets i grew up in in tanks, sniper rifles. we wanted to monitor what they were doing. the public has a right to know. when you don't have a free media you don't have a free society. >> that's true. ryan, what was going through your mind? what was your reaction when the police were going to arrest you during your journalistic profession? >> i was expecting it at that point. i was walking up -- i'm sorry. somebody was talking to me. >> go ahead. >> umar, let me go back to you. >> all right. >> go ahead. what was going through your mind? did they know y'all were journalists? >> they knew who we were. one of the officers pointed at us and said there

umar lee on the phone for us from north st. a police shooting earlier today. thanks, umar, stay safe. >> thanks. >>> all right. we are live from ferguson, missouri, tonight. stay with us. we'll have lots more. it was the biggest decision king's hawaiian had faced, since robert taira opened his first bakery in a small hawaiian town. making bread so good, that people bought two loaves one to take home, and one to eat on the way. so good, they grew from here. to here. to here. but to grow again, to the east coast they needed a new factory, but where? fortunately, they get financing from ge capital. we not only have teams dedicated to the food industry, we're also part of ge, a company that's built hundreds of factories. so we could bring in experts to help king's hawaiian make sense of transportation routes, supply chains, labor pools, and zoning to help them make the right decision. and, i'd like to think, to make their founder proud. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know, can h

his name is umar lee, a convert to islam, and he knows why this area has changed and how important and that is to what is happening right now. >> the historic migration pattern within north county was mostly farmland, ferguson's a railroad town, some other small towns in north county. i think that 1950s housing boom, and then you get desegregation in the city. and so, white flight out of white north st. louis to north county. and then decades later, you get african-americans moving in to north county. >> this area was started as a place where a lot of whites, people from st. louis were moving to after school. >> there was a small city of ferguson associated with the railroad, but what made ferguson and florrison and other areas grow was that flight out of north st. louis. and there are two historical communities in north county, but the rest is historically white. >> you've seen a time in your lifetime, over north county change a lot. >> north county has changed dramatically. we've had a dramatic white flight out to st. charles, even lincoln and warren counties. and the african-america
