Unrest. What has historically made america unique is the durability of its institutions against the passions and prejudices of the moment. When times are turbulent, when the road is rough, what matters most is that which is permanent, timeless, enduring and eternal. And as we turn to philadelphia, that is where a couple of rallies are scheduled to take place aimed at Police Reform, in fact, today marks the 14th straight day of what have been mainly peaceful protests in that city following the death of george floyd.

Champion. The event that was going on in austria, she had a crash. She said it was very foggy. It was delayed a couple hours. Three out of the other four top racers did not finish the race. On the lefthand side of the screen you can see her being airlifted. When she got up, she stumbled. They think it is a right knee injury. She was in very dramatic fashion airlifted out of there hopefully we will get you video. She is a awesome skier. Incredible one. That will do it for us. And happening now begins right now. Martha bye, guys. Jenna right now brand new stories and breaking news. Jon drivers beware. Gas prices on the rise again, hitting numbers weve never seen this time of year. Any relief in sight . Plus a dramatic ending to a hostage standoff that gripped the nation. The police storm an underground bunker to save a little boy two days before his sixth birthday. Well tell you how he is doing today. A bizarre ruling from the bench that is father of four can not have anymore children. I
Protested, most peacefully but many had the same message, the system is broken. Justice for Trayvon Martin has not been served. For them to use the sidewalk as a weapon now, saying your kid can walk down the street now, not doing anything, just go to the store and somebody can get in a fight with them. A grown man can get in a fight with your kid. They can have a gun. Now your defense is you picked up a sidewalk and beat this head in. Thats not right. Its open season on all our kids now. It was a travesty of justice this time. I really believe we should change these laws. I think this was a mistake. I dont know if it was prosecution or if it was jury but it was a mistake. I dont blame every white person in Seminole County for this. You seem angry . Im not. The system didnt work for us. The system was broken initially. I think the system continues to be broken tonight is what im suggesting to you. But about that system, that system, there are those who say its simple, the prosecution di
Deliberation acquitting zimmerman of Second Degree murder and manslaughter first. In the Circuit Court of the 18th judicial circuit, state of florida versus George Zimmerman. Verdict, we, the jury find George Zimmerman not guilty. Gregg phil keating has been covering this story since day one. He joins us live from sanford, florida. Disappointed sanford residents, trayvon supporters, its been relatively quiet. There was going to be a 3 00 rally behind me. Sheriffs department ended that by closing off the courthouse grounds for the day. It may still materialize downtown park. Inside the courtroom, 10 00 hour after a long day and 16 hours of deliberations, all smiles and tears were relieved from the parents of George Zimmerman. His attorneys were vindicated and vowed to have prosecutors pay for not sharing evidence timely over the last year. The best moment was when they said not guilty. I think the prosecution of George Zimmerman is disgraceful. I am gratified by the jurys verdict as hap
