the children as they ve been described to us these teenagers, kids who just got out of school who are purging, are throwing brick bats at them and they backed up the police for a long time. then the police did some pepper spray and tear gassing, we believe. the kids we watched it happen went back rearmed with more brick bats and bottles and backed them down again. so whatever the police did, it was not enough in the early going and, you know this is these people s fault but the police weren t ready and let s just hope that all of them survive this. shep julie asked about the governor. i haven t heard from any civil rights leaders, have you? i heard ms. king telling people to get home and it has nothing to do with solving any of these problems. but to start picking on people for civil rights and what they are saying and not saying we could spend our time watching this and reporting on it as we
to protect themselves from stones and rocks which are 100% being thrown at them. and some of them do not. the guys in the white shirts always the guys in charge. this one in the white shirt does not have anything so he is backing up hip those. we have watched the police try to make a move on the juveniles but look at the street down here. it s littered with these brick bats and the kids are fully moving on police and police are backing down. so what do you do now? do you bring out water cannons pepper spray to dispercent the crowd? if a police officers is hit and down what do you do with more teens who are rushing you at the time? do you reach a point where officers have to, to protect themselves and their lives return fire in some way? besides with the brick bats which they are clearly throwing. this is an extremely intense and
debris some cases brick bats, bottles, but they ve been aggressive about it, and you can see these police officers are picking some of those aren t police officers. those are the kids. and no, these are police officers now, who are picking things up and throwing them become at the juveniles. some of these you see this officer has a shield. some of them do. but if you look to the back, the ones who are back farther they don t have shields. so these cops have a mask, children are throwing brick bats at them, and the police are apparently, from all we have seen retaliating with the rocks thrown at them. it s an extraordinary almost felt for the moment there like the palestinians and the israeli army. but now the police are moving. and you can see you ll be able to see. some of them have riot shields those acrylic shields they use
problems that maybe he can t solve. they are happy to throw brick bats at him and without putting anything down about what they want to do. they saw his approval ratings drop a little bit last summer out of the syria business. i think we are seeing the days ahead. a lot of people not calling for russian troops to the ukraine but calling the president weak, ineffective, feckless without saying what should be done in these foreign policy dilemmas. part of this is what we have been seeing for six years which is the attempt by the mccain types in the party to tag the president every time something happens over seas like david is saying. failure, too weak. i wonder if we are hearing about a battle taking place within the republican party. we are hearing about the rand paul adherence versus the old neocons. if this is an opportunity for
reaction from people who are going to react. we are just getting our information from an incredibly wide variety of sources putting aside burma. it is a fantastic time to be in reporting even if there is a lot of pushback. we may laugh at the scandinavian countries, but perhaps they have fewer secrets to hide. but it is a different situation over there. i wonder what you make of the contention that what we are doing right now in the court system is effectively criminalizing journalism? i think it is. i think that jefferson said, you can t have a government without newspapers or a government without newspapers, i d take the latter. that s the sign of a mature country because it means your political class has to be willing to take the brick bats and deal with it. it also means journalists have to be mature enough when somebody comes up and the government comes to you and says this is going to harm this program or that military
