Im craig melvin alongside Sheinelle Jones and dylan dreyer. Lester holt is enjoying a day off. A lot of people talking about the reign of the pope. It has people scratching their heads. We want to get to the top story which is the powerful cyclone that roared onshore in the south pacific. Reports of damage are still coming in. We know dozens of people are feared dead.

Now to ferguson missouri where the manhunt continues this morning for the gunman who shot two officers as they stood guard outside the police station. Nbcs ron allen remains in ferguson. Reporter good morning, craig. A lot of tension here outside of the Ferguson Police headquarters where the ambush happened. Police say it is too soon to tell if the gunman was involved with the protest or an outsider as some claim. For one night, ferguson did get a break. Maybe it was the cold steady rain. Police outside the headquarters were were there to stand with the officers. We know there are things to improve. We want to Work Together. We cannot work until there is peace. Reporter what fergusons mayor wanted to hear. I know the guys here in blue appreciate it. Reporter today, the search continues for the gunman who wounded two officers this week.

Reporter the streets were quiet overnight. Six of the employees, police chief and city manager have left since the Justice Department exposed bias policing. Some want the entire Police Department dismantled. Mayor knowles told lester holt that is not necessary. We think there are bad apples out there. I dont think that is indicative of the entire Police Department. Reporter also later today, in madison, wisconsin, another Police Department facing criticism in a racially charged case 19yearold Tony Robinson shot and killed by a Madison Police officer, the investigation is in the hands of the state police to determine if the officers survival. The attorney is not ruling out a lawsuit. The local Fraternity Chapter kicked off campus for the racist chant has lawyered up. I think there was a premature rush to judgment. Reporter Stephen Jones is the high profile attorney hired by Sigma Alpha Epsilon at ou. He represented Timothy Mcveigh during the Oklahoma City bombing trial. We are interested where needed to act and protect the Due Process Rights and First Amendment rights and the 14th amendment rights of the members. Reporter he says members of the fraternity have gotten Death Threats and not all of them were involved in the chant which took place on a charter bus to a social event a week ago today. We are talking about one incident with nine seconds of video on one of five buses. Reporter in the wake of the ou incident sae has drawn scrutiny across the country. The National Chapter investigating Louisiana Tech university. The university of washington looking into racial slurs yelled from the sae house last month. They were screaming you apes. Reporter the sae chapter says it wasnt them. I dont doubt that hurtful things were said. Reporter the fraternitys image may be damaged but stressed there are good chapters out there. Mckell is the chapter president for t to do for any the easy thing to do for any person is to judge a Large Population by the actions of a few. Reporter here the universitys investigation continues. It will not comment on any pending litigation. The National Head quarters says it had nothing to do with the hiring of the attorney and it supports what the university did in shutting down the fraternity. Nice to have you with us in the studio. Thanks for having me. There was talk after president obama was elected about this being a post racial america. Youve written about the term post racial. Post blackness. In 2011 you wrote about it saying this term is the enemy of communication, understanding and progress. If you look at recent events the country can feel more divided than ever. How did we get here . Sniem not sure a lot a folks thought that the election of barack obama heralded the end of races in america. Some of the divides came more to the surface. And folks who were upset about that and feeling that say, White Supremacy was slipping away felt even more we must express ourselves. The casual racism we see at ou we see all the time. The institutional racism in ferguson is harder to talk about, harder to identify. Im glad to see that coming up. But weve seen the d. O. J. Step into over 20 Police Departments noting patterns and practices of institutional racism over the years. This sort of police brutalizing a Community Happens all the time. I want to go back to what you said about president obama and this era of postracialness that doesnt really exist in this country. Talking about race has always been hard in america. What do you think having a black president has meant for that conversation . You know its hard. Its a difficult question craig. I appreciate you asking it. I mean the president in his first term had a harder time entering that conversation. And when you saw what happened with skip gates that he tried to enter it it was awkward and he ended up at a beer summit which many people thought was awkward and something of a fail. This second term he has been more aggressive and more open not only the things that he has trade with treyon and other things but sending the attorney general out. The fbi director doing certain things and coming out. Ultimately the conversation is difficult because a lot of times black people do the talking and white people dont want to talk because they dont want to Say Something racist and seem they want to say im an ally. Its difficult to have an honest conversation. You dont want to offend anybody. Am i supposed to call you black or africanamerican . I dont always know and dont want to offend somebody. Where do you start that conversation so its honest and open and in a form where people say i just need to talk about this so i can understand it . Part of the problem is black people are often seen as other and different and not fully one of us. When we live together and we Work Together and we pray together and Party Together then its like okay we are one, we are together we are a single community. And we can see each others humanity. It becomes easier to see the people youre close to but can you see the humanity of strangers. When we can start to that were starting to see each other as one community. Starts with one conversation though right . Yes. Thanks for coming in. To politics now. A major faceoff this weekend between the top contenders for the republican president ial nomination. Among them jeb bush returning for the first time in aening lo long time where president ial dreams come true or can be dashed. The state of New Hampshire. Were live at the white house.

Bush pushed back against democrats who have tried to link his use of personal email while serving as floridas governor to revelations that Hillary Clinton used her email when she was secretary of state. We complied with the law and have now made all of my emails public for you to see long before mrs. Clintons issues came up. Reporter the poll shows bush with fierce competition here. He is leading in New Hampshire with you Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is just a few points behind. Walker also in the Granite State this weekend lacks name recognition. He took a swipe at bush the son and brother of former president s. Telling the Tampa Bay Times this on friday.

Nbcs Kelly Cobiella has more from london. Reporter good morning, erica. We see pope francis as a fun, energetic pope but he is close to 80 years old. Last august he said he only expected to be around for another couple of years. Now in an interview with mexicos tel avisa, he is hinting that retirement is in his future. Since stepping out as pope two years ago, francis has been bombarded in brazil. Charmed the worlds children. Met leaders and activists. He has been to jerusalem, south korea, turkey the philippines and this fall philadelphia. Who could blame him for dreaming of retirement. In an interview overnight, pope francis said i have the feeling i my pontiffcate will be brief. Pope francis just marked his twoyear twoyear twoyear point friday. Catholics were stunned. You hope he is pope forever, but it is his choice. He probably doesnt want to do this at 85 years old. I cant blame him for that. Reporter Pope Benedict made headlines when he stepped down in 2013. The first papal resignation in almost 600 years. He was nearly 86 at the time. Now a pope emeritus. Now pope francis is 78. The pope said friday i think what benedict courageously did was open the door to the pope emeritus. Pope should not be considered an exception. Is the job of pope no longer a job for life . The fact he expects a short papacy simply says he is a realist about what it means to be a man in his late 70s. Reporter pope francis doesnt mind being pope, but would like to go out one day without being recognized for yes, to eat a pizza in peace. Erica erica, that is his one wish. I love the guy. Kelly, thanks. So approachable. He seems like such an approachable pope. I know that is the reaction over the last couple of years. He has done a lot. He is resonating with younger people more. If he wants to resign no one can tell him no. You cant tell the pope no. God, ultimately. One would think it is interesting. You go 600 years without a pope stepping down and it looks as if we will have two papal resignations in the span of a decade. They travel a lot. Im sure it is physically demanding. Maybe in order to do it at its maximum capacity. A great point. Maybe the next pope needs to be 35. You said 45. I changed it. I want the pope to be around for 40 years. 35 45.
