street maybe like a minute later, that s when i heard four loud shots. you heard four shots? four. and in a quick succession? yes. and after the shots, because i m looking at the hill where i think that it s coming from and i see, when i m gazing over i see the protesters on the ground to get behind cars and i see the police on the ground. i knew they were shot and not like something else. where were you when the shots went off? i was in my car at the base of the hill when the shooter was at the top of the hill so i heard the shots, at least four shots. i saw the police officers fall. i saw the police officers call for the ambulance and police officers immediately got behind me and at least police cars or the brick edifices down there. and a group of officers went down the hill. and they could see the weapons. did you look up the hill when you heard the shots rang out? i did.

a distraction. we re thankful the officers got the return home today. should the protests continue? the grandmother i just spoke to said no absolutely not. the peaceful protesters praying and respecting peacefully is a way of honoring the police officers as well. this isn t about anti-campaign against the police. this is anti-campaign against bad police officers and good police officers should say we want to work with the community. we want to make sure this is a lesson for everybody in america to say let ferguson be the example. let s talk about how we never have this happen again. but there are a lot of people who, you know, support the police and look at the protests continuing and say, you know what? this is actually, you know it s
was a lie like he was cleared in the grand jury in st. louis. i share some of the same positive sentiments about the department of justice in their reports and the investigation they did. i think it s great this officer has been vindicated and a lot of other officers have been vindicated but i agree with her, if there s things we need to approve on i ve been saying that from the very beginning. we ve been participating in community groups and talks and have tried to do a lot of things to move law enforcement forward, but you know what? when you shoot the police i mean it just doesn t really seem to move the cause forward. i get what the other two folks on the show here are saying and i appreciate where they re coming from. but i don t think the department of justice report is perfect and i don t think that the people who committed this heinous act last night did anything to improve this situation in this community. quick. i want you to be able to respond. i saw you shaking your head.
