protest by aids activists in this country. 1,000 of them converging on national institutes of health, demanding more research on the disease. they started to become confrontational. signs up, you are killing us. why are you saying this, i am a physician, trying to save your lives. it was that kind of confrontation had me say time out. demonstrators blocked police cars, tried to break into the lead biomedical research agency. the police were about to arrest a whole bunch of them. i said don t arrest anybody, just bring them up to my office and let s start a dialogue. we were able to prove to dr. fauci that everything they were doing was wrong and tony, to his credit, saw we were right. act up does more than demonstrate, they ve become part of the establishment they continue to attack. changed the way new drugs are
looting, a lot less violence. it seemed to me they were a day late and a dollar short in terms of their reaction. yeah. and they were conflicted. they were equivocal. they really were mediocre in terms of their response. when they finally got it going, governor hogan finally got the national guard in the cops were told to stand down. i ve spoken to many cops. they all told me the same thing. it was a standown order. only if they spit in your face it s only property, it doesn t make a big deal don t do anything, don t arrest anybody. the problem with the thinking they had the martin luther king riots in 1968. that part of baltimore still bears the scars of that long ago anarchy. now this disruption. who is going to invest in a business there? who is going to like the senior center that s been trashed and destroyed. the cvs, the liquor store, the convenience store. i spoke to a fellow who has a cell phone store totally looted a grocery store, everything gone. it is really
make a big deal don t do anything, don t arrest anybody. the problem with the thinking they had the martin luther king riots in 1968. that part of baltimore still bears the scars of that long ago anarchy. now this disruption. who is going to invest in a business there? who is going to like the senior center that s been trashed and destroyed. the cvs, the liquor store, the convenience store. i spoke to a fellow who has a cell phone store totally looted a grocery store, everything gone. it is really pathetic and i think that this community has suffered a really really awful profound blow. i talked to a number of cops today and they tell me off the record they ve had it. they re done. in other words, they re not going to take that extra step next time because they feel like they nobody has their back. that this was a rush to judgment. you and i talked about this as an attorney you see the emotional reaction people are celebrating, the prosecutor has rushed to judgment. on the
disobedience has a noble history but it s to the point where you say i am willing to be arrested. but one person said it s not civil disobedience but don t arrest us anyway i don t get that. and the retired major said this hasn t happened in a vacuum and that s something sunny j some of your other guests talked about. so the people on the grund having to handle tonight and it s not just tonight, it s tonight in the context of how it happened tonight and in the future. so, we do know that crowd violence is very emotionally based. so if we can move in and short circuit that and keep it from build nothinging into the creshen dough,
thing over and over again i think. that s training. jim is this cops for dummies? it is one step short of saying don t arrest, wait for an e-mail con fussing what they have done. it is stupid. should the nypd s motto be to serve and protect the elephant people. is he going to roll the toilet paper to the person taking a [bleep] in front. or a girl the general rule for any dude whether you are a cop or not don t be a [bleep] and don t tell [bleep] jokes and don t pull it out. it was essential the materials be rewin rewritten for the current law and policy. last year s policy was okay?
