Students in many places around the nation marched out of class today to protest the decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of 18yearold Michael Brown in ferguson, missouri. At the white house today, president obama spoke of a simmering distrust between too Many Police Departments and too many communities of color. He called for spending 75 billion to expand the use of body cameras worn by officers. Thats something that Michael Browns parents had asked for. Vladimir duthiers begins our coverage in ferguson. No justice, no peace. Reporter students marched through Clayton High School today at 12 01, the moment that Michael Brown was shot and killed in august. Its also the oneweek anniversary of the grand jury decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson. It was just one of dozens of similar walkouts by high school and College Students across the country. In new york, thousands marched through union square. In los angeles, protesters gathered outside the Police Department. In cambridge, students staged a diein in harvard square. As these protests were under way, a 16member commission appointed by missouris governor to bring peace to ferguson held its first meeting inch a town thats nearly 70 black and a Police Department thats 94 white, its goal is to address the breakdown of trust between police and residents. Its led by Community Leader reverend Starsky Wilson and businessman rich mccluer. We can only get to solutions when we all own that were in a place of brokenness. We require healing, and we all have to come to the table in order to get that done. The commission becomes a place to do that, and it becomes a place where we learn that you dont have to see eye to eye to be able to walk arm in ann arbor to move forward. Reporter those are some really big issues to tackle. How realistic is it that youll be able to accomplish some of these goals . It will be a longterm assessment of whether weve accomplished some of these goals. Reporter the youngest member of the Governors Commission is rasheen aldridge, a 20yearold student who has been on the front line of protests in ferguson every day. Today he was at the white house, joining the discussion about race and policing with the president. He was very open in hearing our thoughts on ways we can move better as nation together. Reporter the Ferguson Commission is not expected to issue its final report before september of next year, scott, but it hopes to make interim recommendations before the Missouri Legislature reconvenes in january. Pelley vladimir, thank you. One procedure that failed in ferguson was officer wilsons attempt to call for backup. His radio was switched to the wrong channel. Bob orr has been looking into a Remarkable Technology in california that sets health help in moment the moment a gun is drawn. Reporter Deputy James Wright is a top marksman for the Santa Cruz County sheriffs department. Hes also ones of a dozen deputies now carrying a nine millimeter pistol specially equipped with small tracking module, designed to alert headquarters whenever he unhollisterred or fires the weapon. Its hightech backup for an officer who patrols without a partner. I could draw my weapon and fire it and dispatch would already be notified that i had done that prior to me updating them. Reporter so there is a sense of reassurance there for you in that you know help is on the way. Yes. Reporter santa cruz is one of two departments in the United States now testing the technology. The system is simple using the chip in the gun and the officers smartphone, it sends this yellow alert when an officer draws his gun and this red alerted when the weapon is fired. You can see how light that is. Jim schaff works for yardarm technology, the sin come valley firm developing the technology. When an officer uses a weapon in the field, theyre not immediately able to call by radio. We cut that Response Time down to seconds. Reporter we show you how the technology works. It will have the location, time, number of shots. All this information will be captured. Reporter santa cruz sheriff phil wowak says the system may save lives and it will provide a clear record of what happened in any officerinvolved shooting. This product will give us the knowledge of the exact time the officer drew that weapon, the time between the drawing of the weapon and the firing of the weapon and then the exact time between each individual shot. Reporter so this is not about tracking the actions of your officers or keeping some kind of database on how often so and so pulls a weapon. Not at all. Not at all. It really is about knowing when a person is engaged in a hostile confrontation and getting them the assistance they need to make that situation safe. Reporter sheriff wowak says the guntracking information will be used to adjust and improve deputies training. The police union seems to be on board and early field results show the system does work. Pelley beenor in our washington newsroom. Bob, thanks very much. Well, its cyber monday for holiday shoppers, and by this afternoon, sales were almost 8 higher than last year. That would be the fourth record in a row. Don dahler now on how retailers are keeping up. Reporter shoppers are expected to spend 2. 6 billion online this cyber monday. To handle the increased demand, retail giant amazon has added 15,000 robots to its facilities nationwide. Each can carry 750 pounds. David clarke is a Senior Vice President at amazon. The Little Orange robot goes out and picks the right plot of inventory and brings it back just at the right time for the person to pick the item out to go in that customer ice shipment. Reporter shopping, like shipping, is also getting hightech. Desktops account for almost 80 of online sales followed by tablets and smartphones. Jill puleri is with ibm, who tracks online consumers. Are consumers getting more savvy in Online Shopping habits . We have larger amounts of sales, but the average ticket was lower. People are shopping for deals and using their mobile devices when they go in the store, so theyre checking prices. Reporter some retailers are holding back their discounts until evening to take advantage of home shoppers. Walmart predicts one in five wont start deal surfing until after work. Cyber monday is also morphing into cyber week, with some retailer spreading out their sales over a number of days, but waiting to click on that buy button may be a mistake. According to adobe digitals index, prices are expected to rise steadily until the end of the month. The very best bargains already happened on thanksgiving day. Cyber monday may soon become a thing of past. Retailers are seeing more growth oven line shopping in the days leading up to it. Scott, expectations are next year black friday sales could surpass cyber mondays for the first time ever. Pelley don, thank you. Well, you dont often hear violent rap lyrics at the Supreme Court, but today the language there was raw as the justices heard the case of man who spent three years in prison for what he wrote online. Jan crawford on free speech in the digital age. Reporter separated from his wife and fired from his job, Anthony Elonis turned to facebook. His postings, most directed at his wife, who left him, were violent. Im not going to rest until your body is a mess, soaked in blood and dying from all the little cuts. Im going to tie you to the bed and set this house on fire elonis said his posts were like lyrics from rap songs, violent but not serious. Hes convicted for making threats, a felony and sentenced to prison. His lawyer john elwood is urging the Supreme Court to set aside his conviction, saying the posts are protected under the First Amendment because he did not intend to harm. You can hear this stuff on the radio any day of the week. The point is just because you say it doesnt mean its literal. Reporter the justices clearly struggled with the complex case, a major test of speech on the internet where people often push the envelope. Throughout the hourlong argument, they appeared concerned about making it too easy for the government to prosecute online speech. As Justice Sonia sotomayor put it, weve been loathe to create more exceptions to the First Amendment, but they also seemed troubleed by letting people like elonis off the hook for speech some may consider threatening, especially in domestic situations. Justice alito, this sounds like a road map for threatening a spouse and getting away with it, but cracking down on speech could have broad implication, especially for young people who blog and tweet and post all kind of provocative things on the internet and may not realize, scott, their words could be considered a threat. Pelley and a decision by the court expected around springtime. Jan, thanks. Today in hong kong, hundreds of police battled pro democracy activists who are demanding political reforms. Its been a twomonth standoff in the former british colony that now enjoys partial autonomy inside communist china. Seth doane is in beijing for us tonight. Seth, what happened today . Reporter good evening. Student leaders encouraged demonstrators to surround one of the main government buildings, temporarily shutting it down, but that sparked some of the worst clashes weve seen with police. They responded with pepper spray, batons and even water to try to disperse crowds. Now a high court in hong kong has paved the way for police to remove the camps at one of the main protest sites. This as overall public support for these protests has waned and the stock market has dropped in hong kong. Scott, one of the signs this is an increasingly desperate protest movement, weve now student leaders, including 18yearold joshua wong, have vowed to go on a hunger strike. Pelley seth doane, our man in china. Thank you, seth. Are elderly drivers a danger on the road . You might be surprised by what a new study says.

Pelley drivers of a certain age often get a bad rap, but we were surprised today by a study from a. A. A. Heres transportation correspondent jeff pegues. Ive been blessed with good health. 85yearold bill wallace has been driving since the 1940s. He says hell continue to slip into the drivers seat as long as his health allows. I dont want to cause an accident. I dont want to be in one either. Reporter one in six cars on the road is now being driven by someone aged 65 and older. Despite a reputation for being slow and collision prone, a new study by a. A. A. Has found just the opposite. 90 of seniors say they have not had an accident or even a moving violation in the past two years. And theyve heeded the warnings not to talk on their cell phones while driving. Only 34 of those 75 and older say theyve done it. Thats compared with 82 of drivers aged 25 to 39. Jurek grabowski is a. A. A. s research center. Older drivers tend to wear their seat belts more often. They tend to drink and drive less. And so they tend to be generally safer drivers. When they do have a perceived inability to drive, they tend to selfregulate. Which may explain why 76 of them favor Health Screenings for older drivers and 74 believe older drivers should have to renew their license in person. 92yearold billie bucksbarg, shell be 93 next month, still drives to work most weekdays. How do you feel behind the wheel . I feel great or i wouldnt be behind it. Reporter accident rates among the elderly have been falling for years, scott. There were 31 fewer fatalities in 2012 than in 1997. Pelley experience counts. Jeff, thanks very much.

I guess youre coming up a little short in the good role model department. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at the bar, and dont make faces during televised public events. Lauten wasnt the only one to suggest the first daughters looked bored or maybe just like teenagers. But her post was the most critical and went viral, even though lauten apologized a few hours later. I quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that i would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager, she wrote. The backlash has continued. Tweets and blogs on the web called for lauten to be fired. White house spokesman josh earnest says he was taken aback that a political staffer criticized the first daughters.

She and the rest of the cadets are getting their first threeday home pass. For many of them its the place where their lives went wrong. For hopkins its a place where she learned words can be used to say something. Painful. You said that words hurt more than anything. Words hurt more than anything, especially when its by someone you love. Reporter who were you talking about .

I dont want to end up like my mom. Reporter hopkins hasnt seen her mother since 2007. Chris vermette is not her biological father. He adopted her when no one else would.
