News cloer. Welcome to the overnight news. Im elaine quijano. A makeshift memorial continues to grow in dallas, where five Police Officers were killed by a sniper last thursday. We learned today the gunman taunted police during two hours of negotiations before authorities killed him with a robot bomb. The killer said he was targeting police in revenge for the Fatal Police Shootings of two black men in minnesota and louisiana last week. Those deaths led to tense protests and dozens of arrests in st. Paul and baton rouge last night. We begin in dallas with manuel bojorquez. Reporter after the initial rounds of gunfire, Dallas Police chief david brown said in an interview today the gunman laughed at Police Negotiators and scribbled letters on a wall with his own blood, and that micah Zavier Johnson put his Army Training to use killing Police Officers, killing five and turning parts of dallas into a war zone. 25year Dallas Police veteran james depugh rushed to the scene. It was painful seeing officers picked up and placed into squad cars. We dont ever see that hardly ever. Reporter on the streets, it was chaos. He has a rifle, lets move i recall officers even half an hour, 45 minutes into this still moving people back because there is no idea what this guy is capable of. We did. Reporter but you were the targets this time too . Yes. Reporter row howe do you do that . You dont think about it. You are to protect the citizens. Reporter the city remains on edge. A threat saturday night had officers on high alert, though it turned out to be a hoax. Across dallas sunday, Church Services were dedicated to the fallen officers. Life is so fragile. One blink and the person you love is gone. All life is important. Reporter members of a Church Within the sealed off crime scene gather on a nearby corner to pray. Three days after the attack, about 20 square blocks of Downtown Dallas are still shut down, and parts could remain closed well into the workweek. Elaine . Manuel bojorquez in dallas for us, manuel, thank you. One of the Fallen Heroes was Dallas Police officer michael smith, also an army veteran. Omar villafranca spoke with his family. Omar . Reporter heidi and mike smith had the all american family. She was teacher, he was a Police Officer. And as cops wife, heidi knew that every time mike put on his uniform and went to work, the unthinkable could happen. It was always give a kiss before we leave and be safe. He had always prepared me for the worst. Every officer in every family in certain situations like they answer a domestic call, those are always volatile. But this. Thats what makes this so much thats what makes this so much different. If i knew that he was pulling someone out of a burning car or he was in an accident or he was protecting someone, it would be different, but this, him bei being a sniper purposely picking him and purposely murdering him is just different than being at work and trying to do your job and being hurt. I could always make sense of all the times he came home hurt or i had to go to the hospital because he was hurt. I could make sense out of it. And this one i cant. Reporter the family is now surrounded by their Dallas Police family, and tomorrow morning on cbs this morning well hear from caroline, the youngest daughter. Elaine . Omar villafranca, thank you.

Whats not captured is the moments before that yes, its live. Yes, its realtime, and yes, we believe the public has the right to know. But lets have them have the right to know everything. Reporter the day after sterlings death, louisianas governor John Bell Edwards called for a federal investigation. That decision has been credited with helping to maintain peace. I wonder if you ever had a moment where you wondered whether this would turn into a ferguson or a baltimore. Well, sure. Thats one of the reasons why we were as quick as we were to make decision. We wanted to engage. Reporter late tonight Deray Mckesson with black lives matter was released from jail.

Reporter but sunday yanez said that yanez had seen his firearm. His fiancee said he had a permit. Race had nothing to do with the events. Neither the race of officer yanez nor the race of the driver. Nothing to do with race and everything to do with the presence of a weapon. Reporter now kelly says yanez is a well respected officer with no record of discipline who is heartbroken that a traffic stop resulted in castiles death. Anna werner, thank you. President obama cut short an official visit to spain sunday so he could personally honor the murdered dallas Police Officers. He also addressed the protests here at home. Margaret brennan is traveling with the president. This week people felt hurt and angry. Reporter president obama tried to calm protests erupting nearly 5,000 miles away. And cautioned activists back home not to use recent shootings of black men by police as an excuse for violence. That whenever those of us who are concerned about fairness in the criminal Justice System attack Police Officers, you are doing a disservice to the cause.

Reporter former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani said the police should not bear the blame. There is too much violence in the black community. So a black will die 1 or less at the hands of the police and 99 at the hands of a civilian, most often another black. Reporter but the president said activists associated with the black lives Matter Movement are right to be concerned about racial bias. When do we want it . Now id like all sides to listen to each other. And thats what will hopefully be able to accomplish over the course of the next week and over the course of the remaining months that im president.

Reporter in the last two months, nearly 100,000 acres have burned in california. Los angeles county fire chief darryl osby says this is the most volatile fire season in over 100 years. Even though some of the fuels appear to be green, there is five years of dead growth underneath those fuels and there is the potential for a catastrophic fire. Reporter the fire got dangerously close to some of the homes in this neighborhood. Crews had to spray fire proof on some of the homes.

Welcome to the overnight news. Im elaine quijano. President obama will attend a Memorial Service in dallas tomorrow following the deadly day for Law Enforcement since 9 11. Five Police Officers were killed, and seven others wounded thursday when a sniper opened fire at a peaceful march protesting recent Police Killings of black men. Mart Martha Teichner reports. Reporter no matter how horrible, horrible the dallas killings were, were they somehow inevitable . Micah Xavier Johnson may have turned out to be the same kind of troubled mass shooter weve seen so many times before. But what he did with deadly aim was shove the issue of policing and race into all of our faces again. What i think this shows is that in a system, a system that doesnt value black life, it only further imperils blue life. Reporter Washington Post reporter wesley lowry is the author of a soon to be released history of the black lives Matter Movement. I was not surprised by dallas. We had a nation that for two years has almost nonstop been grappling with this idea of policing and what acceptable policing, acceptable police use of force looks like. And we had these two incident, first in baton rouge and then in falcon height, minnesota. One after the other that were so traumatizing. You saw this anger, and you saw this pain. Reporter by now the pictures are almost painfully familiar. Police use of force looked like this last tuesday in baton rouge. When cell phone video of alton sterling being shot to death went viral. The officers had been told he had a gun. [ bleep ]. [ gunshots ] reporter then on wednesday, again incredibly, in a suburb of st. Paul him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand off it. Reporter Diamond Reynolds began Live Streaming on facebook, just after an officer shot her boyfriend, philando castile, and he lay dying. Castile had said he had a gun. He is licensed. He has carried he is licensed to carry. He was trying to get out his id in his wallet out of his pocket. Reporter police argue that the videos we see often show only part of the story. But these two backtoback were still damning. For generation, black americans have been talking about these interactions. Theyve been saying the bliss have beat us up. Theyve killed us. Theyve harassed us. And for generation, White America has said youre making it up. We believe the police. And what has changed has been videotape. Black lives matter reporter and then the story changed. On thursday, there were demonstrations throughout the united states. Enough is enough reporter including the one in dallas. Enough is enough and we got to come together. Reporter as protests go, it was a model of Peaceful Police Community Good will. Until the moment when micah Xavier Johnson opened fire. [ gunshots ] reporter five officers were killed and seven more wounded. Protecting the demonstrators as they ran away. This was viral video of a very different kind. We saw good cops, not what looked like bad cops. The theater of public anguish shifted to another stage. Were hurting. We are heartbroken. Reporter Dallas Police chief david brown on friday morning. We dont feel much support most days. Lemake today most days. Reporter the irony is the dallas cops were targeted. Community policing is the rule in dallas. Officerinvolved shootings are down. Crime is too. Just a month ago university of south florida criminology professor lori friedel was brought in to teach impartial policing. As we watched her do in philadelphia last summer. There are some very potent implications of the science of bias for training officers for those splitsecond decisions when they need to decide whether or not to use force or not. Reporter dallas is one of dozens of Police Forces since 2014 engaged in a massive soulsearching. It began with ferguson, missouri after the shooting of michael brown, with images of cops looking and acting like an occupying army, and the riots that followed. Good morning, everybody. Reporter chuck wexler is executive director of the Police Executive research forum, a washingtonbased police think tank dedicated to progressive policing. I think the past two years have been an eyeopener because it hasnt been simply one city. It hasnt been ferguson. It has been a series of cities in which you look at the video and a lot of the Police Chiefs that i know, theyve asked themselves i think that could have been handled better. Reporter wexler worries that now there will be a dallas effect. It will be very hard on monday for Police Chiefs to push their officers back to engage with the community. It will be twice as hard because of what happened in dallas. Reporter now some context. The number of Police Officers killed in the line of duty has actually dropped by more than twothirds since the 1970s to under 50. Dallas puts the number at 25 so far this year. By comparison, police shot and killed close to a thousand people last year, and already more than 500 this year, nearly 40 of them black or hispanic. It could have been you or you or you. Reporter but at the end of a bloody week, both black lives and blue lives mattered to americans anxious about what happens next. As tough, as hard, as depressing, as the loss of life was this week, weve got a foundation to build on. Reporter president obama tried to reassure us. We have to make sure that all of us step back, do some reflection, and make sure that the rhetoric that we engage in is constructive. Reporter but just last night in st. Paul, one of the cities where this all began, the only rhetoric was the language of the streets. The only reflection was the light from fireworks hurled at the cars. The matter of policing and race no closer to resolution. The cbs overnight news will be right back.

Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings appeared on face the nation sunday. Rawlings shared his thoughts on how dallas and the nation can move forward. He also said a particular gun rights issue made it harder to spot the shooter in the chaotic moments after the first shots. Here is his conversation with john dickerson. Mr. Mayor, just to start can you update us on what you have learned about the shooter and his plans here . Well, we keep looking into his files, talking to his neighbors, his family. Our objective is to see if there is anybody that aided and abetted him, conspired with him. We dont have any new news on that regards. That is going to probably take some days. There were others arrested immediately afterwards on the scene. What can you tell us about those arrests . You know, in, you know, kind of dealing with the law of gun holding, you can carry a rifle legally. And when you have gunfire going on, you usually go with the person thats got a gun. And so our police grabbed some of those individuals, took them to police headquarters, and worked it out and figured out that they were not the shooters. But that is one of the real issues with the gun right issues that we face that in the middle of a firefight, its hard to pick out the good guys and the bad guys. Did that complicate the issue at the moment . Well, i think so. You know, i wasnt there realtime to kind of see it go on. But the common sense would tell you dont know where the gunfire is coming from. There were individuals that ran across the gunfire. They were in body armor, camo gear with rifles slung over their shoulders. So it sure took our eye off the ball for a moment. We got them out of the way. We figured out what was happening, and we did our business. You were in on the decision to use a bomb in the end to kill the shooter. Tell us about that. You know, it was a difficult decision because the safety of our Police Officers were in our mind. We had just lost so many, and we had had those shot. To the chief had two options. And he went with this one. I supported him completely because it was the safest way to approach it. And we talked to this man a long time. And he threatened to blow up our Police Officers. We went to his home. We saw that there was bomb making equipment later. It was very important that we realize that he may not be bluffing. So we asked him do you want to come out safely or do you want to stay there . Were going to take you down. And he chose the latter. Before the shooting dallas was actually a model for community an police relations. So as People Struggle all over the country after this week, what was dallas doing right . Excessive force complaints were at a two decade low. What can they learn from dallas before the shooting . Well, first of all, i think training of our Police Officers is first and foremost. Im so proud of our police force. They were one of the first to train in deescalation. How do you deal with individuals, protect yourself, protect them, get them dealt with in the right manner . Second, Community Policing is important. But third also, supporting Police Officers are important in this. You know, recruiting is down across the nation for our Police Officers. And we have got to make this a noble profession. And we cant let a very, very small few impact this noble profession. And so doing all three of those, getting the right officers on board and then training them correctly is what were all about. Finally, mr. Mayor, the Dallas Morning News has a front page editorial that says now we face a test. What is the test for dallas as you see it . Well, i think we are a laboratory for the united states. Can we in a moment of crisis when officers are fallen forgive . Can we disagree without demonizing . Can we see a better narrative as opposed to just absurdity, that there is redemption as we build this great city. I believe we can. And i believe we will. The cbs overnight news will be right back. The worst thing about toilet germs . They dont stay in the toilet. Disinfect your bathroom with lysol bathroom trigger. Lysol power foamer. And lysol toilet bowl cleaner.

As the former mayor of new york city, Rudy Giuliani oversaw the Biggest Police department in the country. Sunday on face the nation, giuliani weighed in on the tensions between police and black communities. Here is what he had to say to john dickerson. I want to ask you about something former speaker Newt Gingrich said, which is that he said White Americans cant understand the extra risk that comes with being black in america, and that whites instinctively underestimate the danger of the black experience. What do you think about that . I agree with that completely. I agree large which with the sentiments of congressman elijah cummings. The reality is we have to look differently at race in america if were going to change this. Weve been looking at it the same way for 20 years and here is where we are. And we both have to try to understand each other. First, let me say my deep sympathy for the people of minnesota, people of louisiana, people of texas, and of dallas. And id like them all to remember that although these incidents happen in different ways, they all share together as americans. We hair share this violence together as americans. So maybe whites have to look at it differently. And blacks have to look at it differently. Whites have to realize that African American men have a fear and boys have a fear of being confronted by the police because of some of these incidents. Some people may consider it rational. Some people may consider it irrational. But its a reality. It exists. And there is a second reality in the black community. The sec reality in the black community is there is too much violence in the black community. So a black will die 1 or less at the hands of the police and 99 at the hands of a civilian, most often another black. So if you want to protect black live, then youve got to protect black lives not just against police, which happens rarely, although with tremendous attention, and which happens every 14 hours in chicago. Every 14 hours. And we never hear from black lives matter. So if you want to deal with this on the black side, youve got to teach your children to be respectful to the police and youve got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police, the real danger to them is 99 out of 100 times, 9,999 times out of a thousand times. Now on the white side, we have to understand that whether we get it or not, there is this extraordinary fear of the police. And the police have to be have to institute a policy of zero tolerance like we did for crime in new york. Zero tolerance. No disrespect. Way back 14 years ago commissioner howard safir began a program in new york city called courtesy, professionalism and respect. It was continued by the next three Police Commissioners including the one you just had on now. Mr. Mayor, let me ask you. You started out by saying that White Americans have to understand that this is happen manage the black community. And at the end you said members of the black community have to teach their children to behave in front of the police. Those messages seem to conflict with one another. Of course they dont. If i were a black father and i was concerned about the safety of my child, really concerned about it and not in a politically activist sense, i would say be very respectful to police. Most of them are good. Some can be very bad. And just be very careful. Id also say be very careful of those kids in the neighborhood and dont get involved in them because, son, there is a 99 chance theyre going to kill you, not the police. And we got to hear that from the black community. And what we got to hear from the black community is how and what they are doing among themselves about the crime problem in the black community. When there are 60 shootings in chicago over the fourth of july and 14 murders, and black lives matter is not existent, and then there is one police murder, a very questionable circumstances, and we hear from black lives matter, we wonder, do black lives matter or only the very few black lives that are killed by white policemen . Not all those black lives that are killed by other blacks. And on the black side, what they hear from us is constantly defending the police. Now ill give you an example. I had a Police Officer who brutally attacked a gentleman named amadou diallo. That Police Officer is now sitting in jail for 25 years due to the work of my Police Commission howard safir and the prosecution of now attorney general loretta lynch. I also had Police Officers who were wrongly accused and acquitted by a jury even though mobs were calling for them to be put in jail, despite the fact that a jury found them not guilty. These are complicated situations. And we have to try to understand each other. Right. Just a final question, sir, you said the black lives Matter Movement has put a target on the back of Police Officers. When members of the African American community see videos as they have this week, they feel like there is a target on young black men. Explain your responsible how they put a target on Police Officers, how that can match up when people see these videos. Well, when they talk about killing Police Officers. When they sing but they dont. They sure do. They sing rap songs about killing Police Officers and they talk about killing Police Officers and they yell it out at their rallies. But mr. Mayor please, please let me finish. And when you say black lives matter, thats inherently racist. Well black lives matter, white lives matter, asian lives matter, hispanic lives matter. Thats antiamerican, and its racist. Of course black lives matter, and they matter greatly. But when you focus in on 1 of less than 1 of the murder that is going on in america and you make it a national thing, and all of you in the media make it much bigger than the black kid who is getting killed in chicago every 14 hours, you create a disproportion. The police understand it and it puts a target on their back. Every cop in america will tell you that if you ask them. Well be right back. ,,,,,,, the search for answers to last weeks violence will be discussed at length for some time to come. But Steve Hartman tells us one short word could help bridge the divide. On a day like this, its always hard to find words. Thats why we turn to tears. Thats why we bow our heads. Thats why we stare blankly at our tv screens whenever they fill with the kind of horror weve seen across america this week. Told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out. I may be a writer, but ive got nothing for you today. Not to make it better. But i do have one word that i think could help deescalate this crisis. Hands up dont shoot its a word that has been noticeably absent from most of the protests. Black lives matter you dont see it on signs or facebook memes, because its not a word that incites people. The missing word is some, as in some police are bad. Or conversely, some Police Shootings are justified. And it doesnt have to be some. Any little modifier that takes the blanket out of the statement can make a big difference in tone. I was struck yesterday by an interview with michael mcclanahan, president of the naacp in baton rouge who went out of his way to include the modifier. What were going to do is root out the 1 of bad Police Officers that go around becoming the judge, the jury and the executioner of innocent people, period. What if we all followed that lead. What if at the next march people shouted black lives matter and good cops know it. Or all lives matter, but we recognize its mostly the black ones that are being lost. Just because our skin colors are black and white doesnt mean we cant speak in shades of gray. Or as the dallas mayor put it, words matter. I think that we have a tone in this country right now that our bellicose nature comes through our mouths. And we need to shut them. And we need to listen. Good advice. Because when it comes to race in america, we can retreat to our corners, but at the end of the day, were still sharing the same room. Steve hartman, cbs news, new york. Thats the cbs overnight news for this monday. For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and thcbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im elaine quijano. , its monday, july 11th, 2016. This is the cbs morning news. Deadly new details are emerging this morning after a shooter killed five Police Officers in an ambush on dallas Law Enforcement. The cryptic message and evidence of an even bigger attack the killer left behind. Protests continued across the country, demanding justice for two black men killed by police last week. The demonstrations left dozens of cops injured and more than 100 protesters behind bars. I could make sense out of it
