Violence and a deadly encounter. Angry protesters converged on the scene the next night, and 24 hours later that restaurant was set on fire and burned for hours. Vehicles were also torched. Protesters shut doubt nearby interstate highway for a time. The officer who fired that fatal shot seen here on the left has been fired. The chaos was captured on several individual crisivideos, difficult to watch. The first was taken by a bystander between the two officers and brooks. They say he failed a sobriety test and resisted arrest. The next video was taken by surveillance cameras and shows what happened after that. Again, it is graphic.

I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer. Chief shields has offered to immediately step aside as police chi
Tanks into the heart of a wicked empire. They were legends who unleashed the fury of american artillery upon our enemies on remote islands and distant shores. They were titans who strode through cannon blasts and cavalry charge and stared down our foes through great clouds of smoke and shrapnel. They were the army rangers who led the way up jagged cliffs, the airborne soldiers who rained down justice in the dark of night. The infinity whose very sight meant liberation was near. And the mighty forces who sent tyrants, terrorists and sadistic monsters running scared through the gates of hell. No evil force on earth can match the noble power and righteous glory of the american warrior. I have no doubt that the young men and women before me today will add your names to this eternal chronicle of american heroes. You will go forth from this place adored by your country men, dreaded by your enemies and respected by all throughout the world. Some day generations of future west point cadets wil

So you are seeing people who are ive covered many demonstrations here in new york city and across the country and this is typically what we see in new york city. I covered demonstrations from the eric garner incident, and they were peaceful, and this can go on for hours. As long as people are peaceful, the police have said theyre going to allow them to march in the street and theyre doing it. Ip have walked now maybe 15 blocks. Thats how wide these protests, the protesters, how wide this march goes. And its going to go. And they can keep going here. The nypd is not going to stop them. Theyre going to allow them to see you look at the crowd. Its just people happy to be together and trying to bring change, and thats what were seeing here. And tell us, you know, this follows, obviously, a very hard night in new y
Do on our spaces. Is this backfiring . If one little thing i wrote is causing millions of people in the country to adjust their lifestyle, thats about all i can do, don, in this space. So if people have to react, they have to modify their behavior, this is something i learned very early on when i was doing commentaries at npr. Its like, you just wrote a letter to me. I dont know who you are. Look, don, compared to what other people are doing, whether its about racial injustice, whether its about covid19, people literally putting flesh in the game, this is a small thing but the reaction has been huge. Again, ive got to complement warner media. I dont know that what i wrote caused them to do it. They did it so swiftly i have to believe they were prepared to do this. Let me ask you this. You dont think that it would backfire in a way, top of amazons list, best seller best sales chart for tv and movies. More people are going to end up seeing it without the context.

Take a look at this. Military helicopters hovering over protests earlier in washington. Right over them. You can see. They were patrolling this the skies trying to disperse the crowds. Hours before we saw the United States in a new way. Police fired tear gas on peaceful protestors outside the white house. All so donald trump could stage a photo op. We have more about it. Demonstrations that at the park across from the white house peaceful. Until this. All of a sudden they are eyeball to eyeball. Law enforcement in riot gear approach a barrier. Protestors on the other side hands up in the air. Chanting dont shoot. Thats exactly what they did. Shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. These horrifying sounds heard in the white house rose garden where the president starts to speak. I am your president of law and order. And ally of all peaceful protestors. The realtime split screen tells a different story. The president sidestepped the frustration and despair triggered by the death at the knee
