and it just warmed my heart. they say oh we re sorry o we re sticking you in traffic. i told them don t worry about it. do what you have to do. so there you have it. and actually there should be a small gathering of people today at eric garner s family heads to the sight of his death to lay a wreath. we had that going on today. but as for more protests we re still monitoring social media to see what actions are planned for today and this evening in new york. thank you so much. coming up, rolling stone magazine apologizes for their bomb shell magazine of alleged rapes. a uva. and also ahead a typhoon slamming into the land with winds of nearly 80 miles per hour. live in the philippines where people are bracing for disaster.
sorry. typhoon hag puupithagupit. wind gusts are gusting to more than 74 miles per hour. and residents are bracing for flash flooding. according to philippines red cross, 1 million people have been evacuated. traffic jams blocked bridge, this was a scene last night of demonstrators angry over the choke hold death of eric garner. took to the streets in at least 17 major cities. protesters there clashing with police in the nation s capital. and look at miami. traffic backed up for miles after protesters flooded the interstate. we understand that more protests are planned for today.
hostages, both the american and south african who were held. so definitely of course not the result they were hoping with this operation. and you can hear that disappointment in the secretary s voice this afternoon. we also understand that several of the aqap terrorists holding that hostage, they were killed as well. we lost him. we apologize. but we are getting word several terrorists who were holding them captive were also killed in that mission. absolutely. let s talk about the protesters who were out in full force across the u.s. last night. the protesting via choke hold death of eric garner at the hand of a new york city policeman, would body cameras have helped
this is what democracy looks like. that was just one of the rallying cries as thousands of protesters poured into the streets across the u.s. last night, expressing outrage over the grand jury s decision not to indict the officer who put eric garner in a choke hold in st statten island, new york. they staged sit-ins and die-ins and in some cities created traffic backups that stretched for miles. in at least a dozen cities coast to coast, demonstrators railed against excessive police force and what they see as the uneven levels of justice. in new york city, hundreds of demonstrators took their protests beyond the streets. they poured into macy s in harold s square and another wildly popular shopper s destination, the apple store on fifth avenue. and they were there to stage die-ins. demonstrations that ended up being very brief, but peaceful.
that obviously has led to some of the protests that we ve seen overnight. some that are planned again today we know in new york city. but we want to look closer at that video again and see. kind of break it down. with an attorney. so we can try to figure out maybe what exactly the grand jury was thinking, why they came to the conclusion they did and is there anything left to be done. yeah the encounter we saw started with a man s frustration with police. police coming because of reports of his selling loose cigarettes there known as looucys. we ve seen the takedown. let s talk about what happened before that. watch. none of my business. stopping and come up on me? the people that fighting walk away? are you serious? i didn t do nothing. what did i do? so you hear eric garner
