get a pretty good idea of what that evidence was. and we re also going to hear from president trump here at 11:45. the president expected to speak at 11:45. let s keep this up, guys. we re getting some new information on this white van. according to our nbc affiliate there in miami, this is wtvj, according to our affiliate, that white van, the windows on what they re describing as the suspect s truck. the windows are completely covered with, again, from wtvj covered with pictures of trump, the presidential seal, et cetera, and you can see a u.s. postal inspector there taking a very close look at the van, presumably some other investigators there on the right also taking a very close look at this van. and tom, i know that you ve got some additional reporting on this vehicle as well? some of the traffic in law enforcement circles confirming what you have just said there, craig, that there s it s
of trump, the presidential seal, et cetera. so left side of your screen, that is that s what s happening right now. that s the live look. right side of your screen was that van before it was covered roughly 15 or 20 minutes ago. we ll keep that up for a little bit. if you look closely, you can make out, perhaps, some of the bumper stickers. we ve got one of the producers from wtvj on the phone right now. she is in plantation, florida. melissa, are you with me? yes, i m with you. good morning. were you able to get a good look at this van? were you able to make out some of the bumper stickers and other stickers that appear to be covering it? you know, i honestly wasn t. we were right across the street trying to set up a live shot, trying to get some video, and there were a bunch of fbi, you know, vehicles and plantation police vehicles kind of blocking it from directly across the street, and then we actually had
real benefit of in criminal cases that we ve seen before of communications usually comes from seizing the devices, being able to look at the cell phone, look at the laptop computers or the personal computers and do a much more detailed check that way. so probably very little has been learned from that, although i m sure they ve made some effort. well, we while we ve bee having this conversation, we ve been watching dozens of fbi agents work to secure this white van in plantation, florida. before they covered it in that blue tarp, we were able to get a pretty good look at the van, and we could tell that it was covered in bumper stickers, other stickers as well. we could not see precisely what those stickers were, but our eyes on the ground, our reporters on the ground there reported with wtvj telling us that the windows on the suspect s truck are quote, completely covered with pictures
belongs to the suspect. we don t have that confirmed here at the network just yet, but that s coming from wtvj. the department of justice announcing 2:30 news conference. we expect to learn lots more roughly three hours from now. and the president, president trump expected to speak roughly 25 minutes from now, 11:45, the president expected to speak in an unrelated event. hard to believe that the president won t be talking about what we have been watching unfold here over the past 20 minutes or so. we should note, though, we heard from the president roughly 25, maybe 30 minutes ago via twitter refer to all of this as quote, bomb stuff, and using it to a certain extent to encourage republicans to get out there for the midterms. tom and pete, i m going to come back to you in a moment, but i want to get to chuck rosenberg. here s a former u.s. attorney, fbi senior official. chuck joins me now.
subconsciously, officers racially profile the people that come towards them and black youth are at a danger for that. i want to play a town hall that was held in parkland. i believe wtvj was there and here are some of the black msd students holding the press conference. black lives matter movement have been addressing this topic since 2012. we have never seen this kind of support for our cause and do not feel the lives and voice of minorities are values as much as our white counterparts. one in three officers suffer from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder. when mentally ill officers are invited to save student body, it becomes a recipe for disaster. i presume in that part of the movement or do you have agreement across the msd students about this issue of
