than law enforcement reforms for cities to avoid becoming the next baltimore or ferguson. we can t ask the police to contain and control problems that the rest of us aren t willing to face or do anything about. the white house says its new restrictions on that list of banned military equipment takes effect right away. the new training requirements for police departments seeking military hardware kick in later this year. jim acosta, thank you so much. this next story is absolutely frightening. especially for anybody who has children out there. in the u.s. state of washington, a camera catches video of a driver who came dangerously close to mowing down three school children. take a look at this. we ll show it to you now. the driver stopped the bus, opens the doors. but before the kids can climb on, bang. suv cuts them off. thankfully none of the kids were hurt. oh, gosh.
response, it s not just after the fact there s a crime there s a dead body there s a shooting and we re nothing going to show up. we re here all the time and hopefully we can prevent those shootings from happening in the first place. but one of the things i want to focus on is the fact that a lot of the issues that have been raised here and in places like baltimore, ferguson and new york goes beyond the police. we can t ask the police to contain and control problems that the rest of us aren t willing to face. or do anything about. if we as a society don t do more to expand opportunity for those willing to work for it, then
from members of the black caucus to gop presidential candidate rand paul. i m all forgiving the police bulletproof vests, giving them weapons, ordinary guns things we can use to defend ourselves. i think it s not a great idea to show up everywhere in a full military sort of preference like an army. reporter: meeting with police in camden new jersey the president said it will take more than law enforcement reforms for cities to avoid becoming the next baltimore or ferguson. we can t ask the police to contain and control problems that the rest of us aren t willing to face or do anything about. reporter: the white house says its new restrictions on the list of banned military equipment takes effect right away. the new training for military departments seeking military hardware kicks in later this year. let s dig in deeper with

their loved ones wait and worry until they come through the door at the end of their shift. as many of you know new york s finest lost one of its own today, officer brian moore, who was shot in the line of duty on saturday night, passed away earlier today. he came from a family of police officers. and the family of fellow officers he joined in the nypd and across the country deserve our gratitude and our prayers not just today but every day. they ve got a tough job.
