We do know that Police Commissioner ramsey we are being told is on his way to this shooting scene. Obviously, like everywhere else across the region this afternoon, this area is blanketed by snow. So in addition to the heavy Police Presence out here we are looking at just snowcovered street but a large Police Presence again. As i was saying we are about a block away from where we believe the shooting actually occurred. They are holding the media back at 21st street and lehigh and the Police Presence as you would imagine in a situation like this out here is very significant, but other than police because it is such a snowy day in terms of pedestrians and other crowds thats relatively limited. We are just getting here and working to get some information and well bring that to you just as soon as we get it. George i know this is such a fluid situation and so much more that we have to learn. We have been told as you have echoed that two people have been taken into custody. Do we know if th
Than at the prospect of impeachment. Think about that. Which may speak to Something Else beyond his greed and his grievance when deprived of a money making toy, namely how little pressure and sense responsibility the president is feeling right now. For wednesdays insurrection an attack on the seat of our democracy. Because lets not pretend here. With five people dead, a nation traumatized and the fbi warning there could be more to come so far, there has been no real reckoning. Until this weekend, the white house and federal buildings, there wasnt simple recognition that lives were lost in the attack, let alone a reckoning with it. Certainly not from the hospital. There were no daily briefings either from the acting attorney general, whoever he is these days, or the fbi director and from the White House Press secretary. Nothing on camera since this nonaccountability no questions asked moment last thursday. Now it is time for america to unite, to come together, to reject the violence tha
Championship at his golf club than the process of impeachment, angrier by an order of magnitude. Think about that. It may speak to Something Else beyond his greed and his grievance when deprived of a moneymaking toy, namely how little pressure and sense of responsibility the president is feeling right now. For wednesdays insurrection, an attack on the seat of our democracy. Lets not pretend here, with five people dead, a nation traumatized and the fbi warning there could be more Political Violence to come, so far there has been no real reckoning. In fact, until this weekend when flags began flying at half staff at the white house and federal buildings, there wasnt even simple recognition that lives were lost in the attack let alone a reckoning with it. Certainly not from the president. There were no daily briefings from the acting attorney general, whoever he is these days, for from the fbi director or the White House Press secretary, nothing on camera since this nonaccountability, noq
You dont have 200 to pay, you dont stay in jail simply because you are poor. Its also meant that we have asked our city council to reallocate a significant portion of our corrections budget towards communitybased programming. Because after we close our Detention Center to i. C. E. , it gave us an opportunity along with the elimination of cash bail bonds to begin to reimagine and to begin the work to transform our city jail into a center of equity, health, and wellness. And i believe that it is more important than ever that we continue that work in earnest. As we continue to work with our Advisory Council on the use of force, we expect our first recommendations by june 24th with final recommendations by july 24th. And it is my assurance to you that we will continue to do the work that we need to do to make sure that all of our communities, each and every person in our community is treated with dignity and respect. We saw the worst happen on friday night with mr. Brooks. It angered me an
The choice is being presented by the parties themselves. Tomorrow, president obama joins Vice President biden and former president george w. Bush at a Memorial Service for the Fallen Police officers down in dallas. The president while in europe of course meeting with nato allies has spoken out about dallas but also about the policeinvolved shootings recently in louisiana and minnesota. Four different times over the last three days. Yesterday he called upon those on both sides of the american debate to keep a respectful tone. This week, people felt hurt and angry and so some of this is just venting. But i think that the overwhelming majority of people who are involved in the black lives Matter Movement, what they really want to see is a better relationship between the police and the community so that they can feel that its serving them, and the best way to do that is to bring allies aboard. That means that includes, by the way, Police Departments that are doing the right thing like dall
