who s being buried right now in the home state of mississippi. hattiesburg, mississippi, about four hours away. they still don t know why this happened. the coroner for the parrish initially told reporters when he arrived on the scene, the two city marshals said they were trying to issue a warrant on few but the state police conducting an investigation says they found no warrants on few. they said that there was no reason for the city marshals to be chasing him apparently. they re still investigating that angle of the story. adding to this is a body camera. there s a third officer of marksville responded and wearing a body camera and supposedly shows exactly what happened. and according to one state police officer, who saw the video says it s the most disturbing thing he s ever seen. that video discussed today in a closed-door bond hearing for the two two men. the immediate i don t not
has taken this on. i wish the president had mentioned it and i m glad that an international parliamentary assembly of 57 countries passed my resolution saying pipeline adoption should not be stopped. i know that some of these families left hanging and part of your interest is that these families are from mississippi and i m wondering in your conversations with them, are they hopeful? are they althoughing confidence that this will ever get done? i ll say they are more resolved. when you re dealing with russia, it s always long term and hard to be hopeful. actually, i met with families from florida and ohio, it s not just my home state of mississippi, which is affected, it s almost every state. missouri has been very much affected by this. it s a national problem. it s a way that the united states and russia have worked together and it s all about children who don t have a hope in their native land and americans who want to be
and that right to vote, i want to pause on it a little bit because i think, we ve talked a lot about voter i.d. laws, the ways in which they have a disparate impact on certain kinds of communities. but the one that is just killing me in this provision is this thing about the poll watchers because it feels to me so reminiscent of that moment miss hamer was talking about. tell me about the poll watching of this bill. we have a history of poll watching in north carolina, just in november in 2012, we came across some poll observer lists in wake county, which is where raleigh is, and without fail, the conservative groups who were organizing the observers targeted the precincts with the highest african-american and latino populations without fail. right, because if you re from anywhere in the state and you re going to go poll watch and make challenges, what would be the
carolina, are you next? partisanship and access to the ballot and the right to have your vote counted, they ve been on the front burner of our politics for centuries. at the 1964 democratic convention, mrs. fannie lou hamer, a sharecropper turned activist, explained to the democratic party, to their faces, what it was like for her to try to vote in her home state of mississippi. it was the involvement in 1962 that 18 of us traveled 26 miles to the county courthouse in indianola to try to register to become first-class citizens. we was met in indianola by policemen, highway patrolmen and only allowed two of us in to take the literacy test at the time.
good chance that his killers might walk free. provided they defend themselves under that state s stand your ground law. in the case that i just described, the judge ruled that the rival gang members who shot the 15-year-old and killed him were immune from prosecution. they could not even be tried because the other car fired its weapons first. did not matter that those young men were driving into an ambush. stand your ground made it impossible for state prosecutors to pursue a case against the other shooters. the judge ruled they fired in self-defense and said, the law would appear to allow a person to seek out an individual, provoke them into a confrontation, then shoot and kill him if he goes for his gun. it is very much like the wild west. one of the defense attorneys added, you can t pick or choose who s going to benefit from a law. advocates of stand your ground tend to argue the law increases public safety, but when the courts are saying it creates a wild west, acknowledging t
