Have the recent events and the press response to those events had any kind of impact on your officers or made them more likely to employ strategies and tactics that might actually compromise their safety or the safety of the community . Sheriff clarke mr. Chair, congressman, without a doubt its part of the Tipping Point that i talked about. You know, we need balance obviously and obviously when we find balance maintaining is going to be more difficult. An officer delaying that thing thats telling him or her to do a certain thing that doesnt happen and may cost them their lives but let me say this about the use of body cameras. I am for this, the use of this technology. I think its a force multiplier. It can only help. But what ive been advising, i think were rushing into this because we will end up with a law of unintended consequences. There are privacy issues involved. It potentially could lead to fewer people wanting to come forward and cooperate with the police, especially in our n
Do they want more or less of a Police Presence . They complain more about the actions of the police or inactions of the police . Sheriff clark they ask for more. They complain about both and i think that is human nature. A want safer neighborhoods. They know they will have to have policing in these high crime areas to get that done. It is situational. They complain about slow calls for service responses. Things like that which can have an effect on a persons trust in their lawenforcement agency. In other words, we call but they dont come. It is fluid. It is situational. We deal with that i situational basis. Do your officers generally feel welcome comfortable in these communities . Sheriff clarke without a doubt. It is a hallmark of mind to create that relationship. I believe in the milwaukee area anyway, has a great relationship we dont have a great relationship with the criminal element. There is no doubt about that. But i think sometimes, this i believe it exists, this lack of trust
Once upon a revolution. An egyptian story. He he is going to talk about this himself, so i am not. But it is reflective about the arab spring and how the us really had no idea that it was going to happen. And even people who worked with ngos in egypt did not know it would happen. I had a conversation with the person i worked with who was telling me working with children and telling me something is really going to happen and no one is listening. It was an early signal three or four weeks or so before the things were beginning to stir up. And it reflects under how little we often know about what is going on in our official life because our official life does not dig in and try and relate to people who are not part of official life. He has told us a story here of two people but more than that it is a story on the importance of journalists. He is a journalist here from beirut.

Time, you were on a deadline. You have a condensed period of time. Theres some things you want to get in there to do two things i really wanted to get in there are, number one, the islamist influence in the education system. Thats one of things i want to get into, a special at the university. And number two, which i want to mention real quick before come back to the education system, isis belief in islamic prophecies. The islamic prophecy angle i think is fascinating. Isis believes right now that these are the last days and that they are the guardians the great warriors of the caliphate of the apocalypse. And i believe there will be a showdown with the west in syria wednesday, according to their interpretation of islamic prophecy. Sunnis and shias discrepant somethings when it comes to prophecy the isis believes the last days are at hand. They are the vanguard of islam and they will lead the armies of islam to victory over the west in a climactic battle will occur in syria were isis co
Attorney general eric holder did a study in conjunction with the National Institute of justice on traffic stop data. They found that when you use control factors that statistics and research require for legitimate findings any Racial Disparities are attributed to differences in offending. The studies showed that black drivers violated speeding and other traffic laws at much greater rates than whites. That conclusion of the study under eric holder led d. O. J. Might be ugly to some but is what the data and research have found. That same study showed that three out of every four black drivers said the police had a legitimate reason for stopping them.
