Transcripts For ALJAZAM Weekend News 20240622

If there was a second dash cam video released from a different angle which was surprising to myself. Due to the fact that the initial discussion that we had with the lead investigator with the Texas Rangers said there was only one dash cam video do you believe had your sister not been an African American female that she would have been treated differently. Yes, i do. I believe she was targeted in this. I think it had something to do with it, yes. She was hold on 5,000 bond for what was supposed to be a routine traffic violation. Your thoughts on that . I think that seems unorthodox due to the nature of the stop. It seemed to be a routine traffic failure to signal. That seems a little excessive to me. Ms cooper if the family contends as they have all along, that she did not take her life, that means somebody killed her. Is that the way you feel, and if so, who might that be . I think the reality of it is is that this family took the posture that they want to understand what happened. We are not really in a position where we have much information at all, and we have been seeking information to help us get our minds around what took place. Its not a matter of whether or not the family is taking the position necessarily that she was murdered versus her having committed suicide. What the family said and continues to say is from the perspective of the family and their relationships with sandy, that it was hard unfathomable for them to understand how she would have done so when she has so much that shes looking forward to. I want to get your take on how she was treated, and whether or not you believe that may be a contricting factor if she did, indeed contributing factor if she did take her listen. All we have to do is look at the video. You can see she was treated unfairly. The officer asked her to put out a cigarette. Because she said i dont see why i have to put out my cigarette. She responded by way of opening the door and forcing her out. Requiring her to get out. I think that the reality of it is is that that was not appropriate. That everyone can see that thats the case. The other part is i, frankly speaking agree that when youve got local and state and Even National leaders that can speak to the fact that this is an example of a long history of instances where africanamericans were targeted and mistreated by police it was clear that there were concerns that we as a nation would address. You are nodding, it seems you agree this is part of the long history of what you see in the eric garner case and the others true . Yes, too many incidents at which they are occurring, and in sandras case the fact that shes a woman. The history of marijuana, is anyone explaining why it was mentioned. How, if it was in her bloodstream, did it get there . First and foremost, the reality of it is we dont know how and if its there. We know what the autopsy is suggesting. The toxicology has not come back. The other part of it is its a little curious that thats what they decided to roll out. The notion that somehow marijuana as a mindaltering drug played a roll in or was relevant in any way to the stop or for that matter her being gaoled is a little difficult for me to understand. Frankly, she was very lucid on the scene. She was able to assert her rights on the scene. She was able to try to ask the officer numerous times why it was that he was going so, so far afield because of a routine traffic stop. So the notion that somehow marijuana played a role in mindaltering or change are her state of mind is one that i take issue with. Do you feel your sisters character is assassinated as the process goes forward, and i bring up the fact that the autopsy shows she may have had marijuana in her system do you believe its elevated to make her look shes more sinister than someone on the way home that got stopped, because she didnt signal properly. Absolutely, its a couple of things, because she didnt signal she was unapologetic about what she knew. That it trickled out last week. Due to the fact that its a large diversion method to avoid the true issues here. There is a high level of consistency in the information that we have received to date regarding the case which in turn impacts the strong desire to want to have the department of justice involved. We are clearly and unfortunately not refusing unbiased information, and so to have state senators be at her Home Coming Services and say we have strong cause for concern. They sent a letter to the d. O. J. Saying you have to get involved. Theres too many inconsistencies here to make the family at ease that we are getting a fair and full and thorough investigation. Let me ask you this have you received an apology at all from the Sheriffs Department concerning the actions of the officer. No sir, and i have to be honest. Its a shame. They have not called you at all. Well, i dont think thats what she said. What she said is that shes not received an apology for what the trooper did. Yes. We have had to preliminary action with the Texas Rangers and the da. And a final question will you sue . I didnt hear sorry. Will you sue. Will you repeat that . Will you sue . Well do what is necessary. Well do what we need to do in order to bring some sort of solace to this family. If it include bringing action to be it. Sharon cooper and kenneth lambert, condolences for your loss and thank you for joining us.

Is it proof that we are wrong to focus on who is surging and who is losing this far out. Its a different race to 2012. The lead seemed to change. Everyone had his or her turn, and it went to the next candidate. Its not happened. Donald trump had a time on top in 2012. What happened here though is trump effectively froze the field. Secondtear candidates are having trouble getting the message out. Is he freezing the field because other candidates are oh hum. Hes a train wreck, americans love a train wreck. This is donald trump, hes not a serious political leader, never has or will be. Hes saying things that tap into people vis errolly and is out there calling people idiots, dumb strong names, and hes lining up a section of the electorate of the it will not lost. Do you energywatching four counterpart tap dance around what is gone on in the republican side . Yes, i do. You suspected that. Theres another dynamic with donald trump. Hes a celebrity. Hes been a celebrity since the 1980s. That cannot be underestimated in american politics. Hes tapping into sentiments that people have. Theres a whole feeling on the right, of political sworn 27 march, that its taken over and people cant say that they want to say. Trump is saying the things that a lot of folks, voters on the right want to say themselves. They know is not acceptable to say, and we know is not correct to say. We are tapping into that. Theres a number of dynamics at play. People have known donald trump since the 1980s. Thats how long hes been a celebrity. To think that that doesnt play a role in his popularity other people have been just as vial and said just as many horrible things. Why are they not commanding this. Lets talk about what some belief we should talk about. I want you to look at the statistic. According to the Washington Post there has been 204 Mass Shootings in 204 days so far. In 2015, this article two days old, the numbers kept by a website called a shooting tracker. I ask you what would be a responsible debate on guns. What should it look like from the democratic perspective. Most democrats think we need gun safety legislation, even the more conservative democrats, background checks and other popular policies around gun safety. I think the problem has been the Republican Party on this issue. The n. R. A. Has a strong lobby. Let me tell you what theyll tell you, theres enough laws on the back. And they need to be enforced. Before you say that let me ask you this question. There are 310 million weapons on the streets of the united states. Are there too many guns out there . I think on the gun issue. Its never been a political winner for the Democratic Party. When chuck ran the party you either keep it or run it. You have plenty of gun control laws. There are many states with strong laws. Most of the guns in shootings are illegal. Are you saying that guns dont kill people . Guns kill people but other weapons do as well. I dont think guns are the issue that will drive the race. We are talking about the economy, illegal immigration if we say the word illegal. That is something that you get a response from it. Debt is a big issue. I dont think its a big issue in the race. If you debate the Second Amendment, even in blue states. Here is what rick perry had to say. I think that it makes a lot of sense to send a message across the country. If we believe in the Second Amendment and the right to protect themselves and families. What he was talking about was the shooting in louisiana, where a gunman goes into a theatre, and i should add to that again. Is arming america the solution . I dont think the solution is to have everyone carry a weapon people have the right to do it. Better Mental Health is an issue. Thats the case. I think you have to look at psychotropic drugs that have an effect on this. You need to deal with veterans in a responsible, caring way. Do you think going in arming everyone so everyone that sits next to you in the theatre is a good idea. You said theres 300 million guns most are not used. We talk about a small percentage. You get some nut that goes off half cock. I dont believe the question was answered. When you look at the history relevant to other industrialized countries, they do not have the problems we have with gun violence. Theres a reason. They have strong inforce safety laws. No one is saying people dont have a right to have a gun if they are if they pass a background check. If they learn how to use it. In order to buy a car, you have to have training to do that. Why would we not a training for people to use guns. Chris kyle, a perfect example, from the american sniper movie was shot. He was the most lethal sniper in this country and was shot and killed by someone with a gun who should not have had a gun. The notion that giving people guns will make you safer a new York City Police officer was robbed and had her gun taken from her in brooklyn. I can cite thats not one. I can cite example after example of that. The issue is that we need to make sure that guns are not getting whether they are illegal or legal. From a republican standpoint why shouldnt i be able to defend myself when the gunman started firing. Remember the empire state building. It was so chaotic, Police Arrived and they shot more than the gunman. Imagine in a movie theatre we are not asking people to be trained. Thats something democrats would like to see happen gun safety training, so we are not asking people to be trained and we have a bunch of people in a dark movie theatre in a chaotic scenario which didnt work when Police Officers were in the same scenario. You said before that no one is saying that people isnt have a right to carry guns. Thats what you are saying. No, i say. But the Democratic Party doesnt have the guts to go after the Second Amendment. They are going after the Second Amendment or not. Thats the question here. Lets move on. The issue of whether candidates get it. Black lives matter came to the forefront. All lives matter take a listen. Every life matters. And that is why this issue is so important. Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives party. All lives matter. He said it shouldnt be an issue. Doesnt that ignore the fact that this movement is born out of the fear on the part of africanamericans, that unlike that lives could end in a routine traffic stop. Is that something you believe needs to be addressed politically and do republicans get it. Omallee was wrong to back off the statement, maybe thats why hes at 1 he doesnt have the guts to stand by what he says. I think all lives matter. There has been tragic shootings involving africanamericans, absolutely. I think Race Relations are getting worse in the country because the political left the Progressive Left is out there pushing that button and tension. I have one question to ask both of you. We have 30 seconds, well be quick. Ill begin with you. Is there a fear that if donald trump improves anything, it is by saying anything you want gets headlines and thats the way to move the polls. Hes incentivized people saying outrageous things and thats evidenced by the fact of the statements that Mike Huckabee made which are irresponsible and dangerous. I think donald trump is having a summer flinning well see fling, well see when we go back in the fall. In order to break through into the cycle, you have to throw a hand grenade. Thats important for everyone. Summer fling. Terra, our democratic strategist and bill oreilly republican strart gift. Thank you both for being here. Lets look at other event in the week ahead. Tuesday president barack obama set to address the african union. Hell be the first sitting u. S. President to officially address that group. Stay tuned with al jazeera for more on the visit. Tuesday secretary john kerry and jack lou will testify on the Iranian Nuclear deal. On saturday. Misty copeland will become the first female cancer at the ballet theatre. It could have been worse, how a kiddy ride injured more than a dozen people. And living up to its billing this time a failure. Just because youre pregnant dont mean your lifes ended. Intense pressure. I dont know if this whole dance thing will work out. Tough realities. We call chicago chiraq because we have more killers. Life changing moments. Shut the cam. From oscar win
