Carolina, and oklahoma almost at the same time. Charlotte erupted. It was literally. I was in monaco and i could not believe my eyes. You know, i bring the terrorists in because listen, there are people who hate who for opportunities to find a way to bring about further destruction on american soil. If you notice in charlotte the first day was peaceful, but on the second day what i call opportunest criminals who could care less about the situation, they want an opportunity to vandalized, they want an opportunity to loot. We saw it in l. A. During the what if these terrorists decide that this is an opportunity for us to go in and do what we have been trying to do for a long time. So i asked in this conversation today, what is happening to urban areas. What is happening to our country and. What is happening with the Law Enforcement. These are all its a complex webb of questions that youre asking and it shows just how complex it not just the problem but what the potential solutions are. I think could be a terrorist or anarchist or Something Else take advantage of the crowd of people who are angry, and hurt, and seeking answers. Cr think one thing we see in similarity in charlotte that we saw in ferguson when that situation erupted two years ago is this desire for transparency. People wanted answers. I think the difference and the reaction you saw in tulsa than there was clear video, the police did not seem to be holding back. Theres still a video in charlotte that wasnt yet released. When people are searching for answers, when theyre seeing cross the country, black people being shot by Police Officers, it creates a sebs of fear and distrust in the chiewnty and to build that trust back there has to be a feeling as if there is transparency, we can believe in the thing and the people in that community did not seem to have that sense of trust in it police. More shocking, donald trump condemned Law Enforcement saying it was obvious. Donald trump. Exactly. That was one of the big shockers and it sort of tells you how this is. Even he, from looking at, you know, whats going on, theres a problem. No one can deny theres a that, but you have to agree theres a problem with trust, with trigger happy sometimes. People taking advantage of their power. No one can deny it. That doesnt mean you can say each case this is what happened but no one can deny theres a problem. Its very important. To bring up terrorism. If we dont feel that the police are there to protect us, then we have a real problem. And, you know, as we saw in some police are sort of nervous about some cases doing more. This is the time when we most need police to be bringing their game, to be keeping us safe. It doesnt affect just, you know, the families of people who are shot which is terrible enough. Only happens when it involves Law Enforcement and someone who happens to be something has to change. Either Law Enforcement you know, you would think that by now every Law Enforcement official in the country would think the last thing is firing their gun. Theyre welltrained. Theyre armed, and i keep asking myself did you see what happened six months ago . What is it were not here . Im just baffled by it. This is a systemic problem. Its not just looking at. They cant help themselves . I think it involves something that weve written about is our inherent biases that all of us have. I think thats the point for Police Officers a man of force that they use should be commensurate with the perceived threat, and i think we have to get at why in certain in particularly a black man, the perceived threat is greater than in other situations. I mean, the situation in tulsa, we could hear the Police Officer in the chopper. Her husband. Say that look like a bad dude. Her husband. Say what he could see. A man with his hands in the air walking slowly he was deem ad bad dude f. I think that gets to the heart of what were talking about. Where does the gun on th have to see. The video weaver ren seen come out afterwards raise more questions to the point of transparency. Just give the public what you have so that we can see and make those decisions for ourselves. Were going to come back and come back with kay Kelly Jane Torrence and Kimberly Atkins and we are asked the deeper question, where does it stem for . Is it training . Is it cold blue . And what needs to change. Had recently we cant wait to hear it. The thing is that, you know, i dont want to tar all Police Officers with the same brush or anything, but there is a segment of human beings that when they get a little power, they want to, you know, show it off. Once i was driving here in washington and somebody cut me off. I had to hit the brake, i almost hit them. I really just gave my horn. Well, seconds later all of a sudden a siren goes off on this car that cut me mead over and it was police. They would not tell me what ive done. Clearly he was just angry that, you know, i had been objected to the way he drove and i had no idea it was a Police Officer. This guy kept me sitting on a street for half an hour. Theres certain people that they like the feeling of power. He didnt stop you because of your race. No, exact lea. Yes, theres big racial element about power. But if kimberly had been stopped she would assume, in a small way, that race was a factor. Her experience is telling us its about Law Enforcement, about power, about control. I think its about all those things. I dont know for certain that if we had both been in that sim position if it would have played out exact threa same way. That you would have been shot . I dont know if i would have been shot. What are you saying . Based on the perception of was walking my dog recently in the park, uh, in suburban washington and a police car came into the park at high speed, clearly in pursuit of someone. And it was a rainy day. I had on a hood. And i for a moment had to figure out what do i do to make it clear that the thing thats in my hand is a retractible dog leash and not a weapon. This is something that black people cross the country think about every day. I think thats the difference. You know, the officer who shot scott in charlotte happened to be black. Its not as if the officer had been white it would have been a big part of the media story. Its u maying to me, i read about for example what happen in tulsa. Shes a white woman. Right. Woman shot a black man. I read about what happened to charlotte and it just says a officer was black. Thats an indictment of the media. I agree, and because they want to play out a certain narrative. Now, in doing so i think theyre missing part of the story. Yes, race is certainly an essential element of what is going on with the community and law ns enforcement but its not the ors only thing. By ignoring that and saying sh times weve got a trigger happy black cop that will shoot a black man, we are ignoring the power and authority. That is a debate we need to be having as much as a debate about race. Also think it is about race. When you say we have a police system, a systemic problem not just about individual cops, its about a systemic problem that involves training, it involves the perception of threat from the top to the bottom. When officers are a part of that system whether theyre black or white, i dont think that theyre not affected by it. Um, that the officer in charlotte if his, um, the culprit had been white and not black he would have shot and killed him . I dont know. Youre saying something much deeper here. Does that play a role in an officer firing a gun . I think that plays a role in the training that the officers get and the system that theyre in. I dont want to speak i of that officer, but i do know if there is a systemic problem, every officer of every race who is a part of it can be affect by it. Kelly jane, let me take this deeper. Listen. In the moment of a crime when youre in that hostile situation, the adrenaline is flowing, do you believe that a Law Enforcement officer has time to look at the aai their skin and make a judgment whether to shoot or not. That is the point. Thats part of the point and also not just whether to shoot, but where to shoot. Ive watch ad lot of cop show on tv, i thought the idea was you shoot to disarm. Nowak you shoot theyre trained to kill. Thats what what amazes me. To me the idea that eve b if you perceive a threat that mean you need to kill that person rather than disable them. But. They do have it is true a fire arm they do so with the expectation that that person will die, but there are other tools at their disposal as well. There are tasers, other things that can be it deployed in situations that are short of lethal force if youre trying to stop or disable someone. That goes to the heart of the training; right . And to your point about do they make a judgment when they see someone saying hey, thats a black guy. Thats not whats being alleged here. Inherent dangerousness of black people, particularly black men, that i think we all have. Anybody who has crossed the street before passing someone at night. Anyone who has grabbed closer hold of their purse when someone sits next to them on the subway understands these are inherent things we have inside of us. When you are a Police Officer and you have a weapon that you can use, this is something that specifically has to be addressed in training. I think this. Most coverage is when it involves race. I think there are people out there in all walks of life responding to this. Saying i get stopped, i was drugged, i was beaten, ive seen people who are white abused bide Police Officers. I think Law Enforcement does it to everybody. I actually think that it trivializes to make its exclusively black. Dwhring overall i hear so men people tell the same story who dont happen to look like this. There are lot of stories that dont get media attention. Robert smith, one of the big benefactors of the new African American museum. He says he gets stopped half a dozen times a year on the way to the airport before he fly away on his private plane. Topic, so complex. But yet, ritz really finding our way in our head lines every w and Kimberly Atkinson, the boston herald. What how much of this burden goes to the community. This is one of the problems i think that were seeing the communitys reaction to whats going on is in some cases changing the way Law Enforcement is acting in a negative way. Some cases a push back effect where police are scared to go into certain neighborhoods or theyre nervous and worried about what, you know, mist rakes might be made. So theyre actually doing less policing. That is also a big problem. So so we need i mean both sides need to work this out its not something were going to be able to fix oveht tough question about im about to lay on you. How is this possible so repeated when you have the First American president who happens to be black . How does this what is this psychology of this . And what would be happening now f president were not black and happened to be white, what would be going on in this country . Look, i think that the election of the first black what this country could be, but i think it also revealed a lot of the worse that this country could be. We saw leading up to president obamas election and since a lot of people who cant believe hes a citizen. I think this is something, the racial tension in this country is something that isnt new, certainly wasnt start bide barack obama, but i think that its revealed in not just by people who also the political discourse in this country has also heightened it. I dont think its the cause, but i think it heightened it. A lot of people may have thought that tha election of the first black president of the United States mebt we are a postracial nation. I think a lot of people of color never thought that. I think it may surprise people this is happening under a first black president but hes not a going to get tarred and feathered for this, but do they feel emboldened when they riot . Do they feel a sense of bravado. Am i over stating this . You mentioned the l. A. Riots earlier. You have a very tense sif waigz and then you have people who are going to take advantage of for whatever reason. The first night in shar t was fine then you get people who see whats lr going on and like hey, this might be a time for me to do some damage. Youve got to sort of separate but you cant because its all part of a complex thing. Separate out how much of the anger and what is going on is directly related to the event and whats going on in the country. Its a difficult thing. Do we have what is necessary us forever . Can we . It will be difficult if it is possible. For this to be resolved we need all stake holders at the table, public officials, police, Community Members coming to the table and figuring out a way to reinstore restore the trust between communities and police. Right now we have a situation where we talked about people in the community not trusting the police and the police also not trusting the folks in the community. Talking about this ferguson affect where policeic patrolling and policing that they have. They all have to come to the table with equal stake in finding a solution to this issue. Explt more that this, uh, discourse around it becomes cops versus black people, this us versus them mentality, its not helpful to anyone. Were going to come back with some final thoughts with our guests. Of mrs. Clinton winning North Carolina . So kelly minnesota new jersey new york, the riots and the vandalism and charlotte North Carolina, oklahoma, how tuz this impact . Its huge. Question in november do i feel safe, and if that is one of the most important things to them its going to help donald trump because when law and order becomes an issue in an election it awl moist always helps the republican. No matter what in this case especially because trump has, you know, he actually was sort of taking a bit from nixons 68 playbook, a little a few month go. He kind of stepped back on that rhetoric. He goes back to it, he can do very well. Order, thats the one issue that can help donald trump win. It may be possibly the only issue. I think that the two issues when it comes to terror youre absolutely right. People feel scared about attacks and will go to the more law and order candidate there. Talking about this issue of police violence. Not just people of color but lots of people are very disturbed. Did he finally condemn it. He did condemn it, b came months and months after. They hold him to a different bar. And weeks of him insistently and repeatedly categorizing black people in a stereotypical way that wasnt just offensive to black people but a offensive to a lot of other people too. In that sense im not sure those particularly in the community who want more accountability for police will be on his side. Even for me, aside from being the host of the show, its the law and order. Listen, you gotta be inclusive of everyone. Thank you for joining us. Good day, armstrngwilliams dot youre watching the wellness hour, the leader in medical news and information. Im randy alvarez.
