Justice reporter many saying the calm in the wake of the past days chaos is because only now their voices are finally being heard and that leaders are listening. People out here feel bad because of those actions that were being able to freely express our grief, freely express our freedoms. There is a different feel. Theres not as much tension, but i feel a great positive force thats in the air. Theres a lot of hope here. Reporter this, as Police Announcing they will release the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown today. And new video emerging from moments after the shooting showing Michael Browns body lying uncovered in the street. His uncle pushed away while crowds at the scene yelled at police that brown did nothing wrong. Hands up. Reporter browns family attending a protest vigil at the st. Louis arch later telling Cnns Wolf Blitzer they wanted to be surrounded by peace as they try to grieve. We havent had time really to grieve much. Its been a very long, stressful time. We dont really have many answers to what occurred on that day and she cant rest knnot knowing everything that occurred on that evening. Reporter again, the headline today, were expected to get the name of the officer involved in the shooting death of Michael Brown. So we may get one answer that has been on the minds of so many in this area, who killed the unarmed teenager . But it could still be weeks possibly even months before we know why. Don . Yeah. If we ever know why. Reporter thank you, ana cabrera. Im joined by mr. Kris king, editorial director of the st. Louis, missouri, newspaper. Take a listen to what mr. Johns hadnt to say about living in this community and then you and i will talk. This is my community. I walk down here, saw people from my church, people i went to school with and people that i feel are a part of this, and the frustration is in my household too. I have a young son thats 21 a daughter thats 23 and have to answer the same kweps that the parents out here have to answer, and reporter and those are . Can my son and daughter walk the streets and feel safe . Can my son and daughter walk with pride . And im going to make sure i do everything that they can have that. Reporter st. Louis is a very insular community. I lived here. Its about where you went to high school . Where your Community Roots are . That makes a big difference, doesnt it . Made a huge difference. He made good commands decisions. Took the s. W. A. T. Team off the street. The previous chief had an active shooter model. Youre training a sniper on Peaceful Protesters running around with guns. You need to firchd the dangerous element, nutriize it, not point guns at peaceful people. Reporter sitting back in new york on the days leading up to last night and all the unrest, people could not believe what was happening, could not believe it looked sort of like an occupied territory occupied by the military. Once i got here and captain johnson was in control, quite a different feeling. People were walking up to him as he came to our camera position, hugging him, wanteding to touch him. What made the difference here . Is it because hes africanamerican . Part of the community . Is it because they can relate to him . Im sure the young men and women that led the protest saw a more sympathetic, paternal figure a huge influence on the outcome, but really the command decisions treating it like a protest rather than like an active shooter, who like every persons running around with a gun when the only persons with the guns were the Police Officers. Reporter was it political decision or social decision to have captain johnson come in . It technically was a political decision because politicians made it and made it always with political calculation but wouldnt have put a commander in place, replacing one who had done such a bad job. Wouldnt have given it to a commander who rein ready for the task and obviously this man was. Reporter you had very harsh things to say about the st. Louis county police chief. You think he really botched this . He completely botched it and shouldnt have his job after this. Reporter why do you say that . If you had a job and your decisions brought a militarized atmosphere to a relatively peaceful community, you would lose your job. This man should not have his job after today. Reporter do you think that police can have the confidence of the community, and im talking about the Ferguson Police . Do they have the confidence of the community after this . Essentially, they have been removed from their posts . They dont have the confidence of the community. Reporter can they police again . They will continue to police it. More responsibly and in a way that doesnt rile these folks up again, well have to see. Theyll need to do diversity training, diversify their leadership, diversify their beat korngs completely rethink how they do everything in the polices for in ferguson, st. Louis county. Reporter interesting to me. As i was going to see captain johnston appeal to him to come on to cnn he was surrounded by local police office, Police Officers from all over missouri. As we walked up the Police Officers, what are you doing here . And captain johnson was like, let them come in. What is it, what is the disconnect here that people dont understand . People were not here to cause trouble, and i think most of the people who are here, even the people in the community protesting, are not here to cause trouble but looked at as a troubling figure. Is started with two young men told in a rude tone and with a curse word to get out of the street. If that Police Officer initially saw those kids on the street works have let them walk down the industry, oh, hey, folks, would you get off the street . Theres no rapport between the Police Officers and the community. We should nerve verify gone through a war zone. We should be grieving michael and we should be investigating his death. We should know the shooter. We should have an autopsy report. Theres a lot of things that should have happened other than 2k diffusing this situation. Reporter people up all night a few stragglers, carrying signs saying, no justice, no peace, but pretty much as i have been saying and ana has been saying, it was a very peaceful protest last night. People just wanting to let off steam and just wanted to be heard, kate. Continued to let off the steam but the questions remain. Now the focus can sfwurn the investigation into getting those answers done. Great to have don lemon here. Thanks. And the other big story were watching in iraq. Iraqs current Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki finally giving in to pressure and stepping aside paving the way for what could be a more unified iraq that can go on offense against isis. Al maliki is pledging support for the Prime Minister delegate. Meantime, president obama says the militant siege in Northern Iraq has been broke with the help of u. S. Air strikes. The yazidis claim thousands are still trap and mount sinjar. Cnns Nick Paton Walsh is live in baghdad with the very latest. What do you make now of the latest statement from Nuri Al Maliki . Reporter well, finally after todays pressure he said that he would finally relinquish power. The writing was on the wall. Shia politicians, washington, paris, saying it was time for him to go. Holding out for something. Maybe his safety in the future. Appeared on state television saying im willing to step down now. Saying its time for the Prime Minister designate, welcomed to the post by a man president obama spoke to and said could potentially bring some is sense of unity to a fractured iraq. Saying it was time for him to take up the job. 26 hours to get a cabinet together and a big task of trying to heal the rift between the shia majority they run much of the government here in baghdad and the suni majority in the north who feel disenfranchised and allowed lots of space for isis militants to take control. Swi that important for xbleshg saying isis is worse a threat now than al qaeda at this stage its the iraqi army who has to do the bulwark to get it done. If it can pull this together, lots of signals from everyone they hope thats the case saying its a tough road ahead, pulling together, maybe they do it. That unity, maybe they can come in and isis get pushed back. What is the role for the United States in iraq Going Forward . A key question definitely from coming over here. Thank you. And the other headlines . Struck by what nick was saying, disenfranchise and need for healing, you can say that about missouri and the area where he is, and in gaza. Negotiations for a longterm deal are ongoing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is talking tough, though, saying israel will act forcefully even to 0 a drizzle of mortar or rocket attacks. Israelis now preparing to defend itself in a war crimes inquiry over the gaza conflict. Israeli leaders are skeptical of the u. N. Human Rights Council saying past statements by those chosen to head the decision ruled him out as a fair judge. And the african Ebola Outbreak is expected to continue for some time. The w. H. O. Places the death toll at more than 1,000 but says the number underestimates the size of the outbreak. Meantime, the u. S. Started evacuating members of staff in sierra leone thursday saying it is done out of an abundance of caution. Texas governors actions to take up observation along the mexican border. 1,000 troops called up by perry last month saying theyre necessary to secure the board around deal with a surge in illegal immigration. New insight into Robin Williams death. Diagnosed with parkinsons disease but not ready to go public with it. Parkinsons is known to cause depression and may have exacerbated williams condition. His widow says the comedian was sober in his last days. Interesting to hear that with his battles with addiction over the years saying he was sober, not one of the things he was facing. Maybe the parkinson happen something to do with it. And the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown set to be released within hours. Why did police hold on to it for so long . This key question now. What happens when the name is out there . I make a lot of purchases for my business. And i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase.

The scene in ferguson, missouri, is much calmer than just 24 hours ago when molotov cocktails, tear gas and rubber bullets were exchanged between protesters and police. Instead officers led by state trooper now overseeing the protest walked side by side with demonstrators last night. You see it there. Today the community may get an answer to one of their questions. Police are expected to release the name of the officer who shot and killed the unarmed feenage teenager, Michael Brown. Lets examine whats going on on the ground, coordinating military relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina as well as tom strieker, former police chief of cincinnati and consults for Law Enforcements. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Weve said it a bunch of times this morning already. What a difference a day makes, which shows im not sure if if shows, general, you can tell me, the change in 24 hours. Does that show how easy it was to fix the problem, or just how bad the problem was . Well, i think youve stated it there. It was bad, and but the solution was leadership. Leaders build teams. Teams build confidence. Confidence builds speed and speed saves lives. I think captain johnson understands that. He was in a position to see it and in a position to act, and thats what good leaders do and i commend him and his team to continue that work of working with and for the people. Tom, lay it out for me. What was done right yesterday . Well, i think number one, the police finally i shouldnt say finally, but the police understood that participate of their job is to protect, no doubt, lives and property, but the other part of it is to also facilitate the exercise of Constitutional Rights in america, and if the exercise of those rights happens to be free speech and people need to do that by walking down the street in mass to protest the actions of government, then thats certainly something that the agency has a responsibility to help do, and i think that the Police Agency did that very well last night. And general, look at the previous nights. What was done so wrong . Was it simply the riot gear that the officers were wearing . Was it the fact that the Armored Vehicles were kind of on the front line . What was done so wrong that sparked such violence . I think the use of the amount of nonlethal weapons, and i might say this, kate. Nonlethal weapons are really not nonlethals they can hurt you. They can incapacitate you, and they create like a shock and awe on the ground. I think that stunned a lot of people across america who earlier had seen people out trying to exercise their constitutional right to assemble, and to speak about an issue that had concerns with and the heavy use of those military weapons the challenge were going to have going into the futch sir that theres a lot of those weapons available. Nonlethal, contractors come to Police Departments, to help them write out the grants. Send the grant requests to dhs and the all of a sudden you start getting the body armory in, the night scopes as well as these nonlethal weapons. So i think Police Across the country, hopefully will learn from this and take a look at when should you use this and how do you go to that level of escalation and use of force . Its already met with criticism. The move by the government to come in and put the state Highway Patrol in the leadership role rather than the county police. Tom, let me ask you this. The st. Louis county prosecutor said this about this changeover. He called it shameful. That it denigrates the men and women of the county police, and he also said this. He said, i hope im wrong, but i think what nixon, thats the governor of the state, did, may put a lot of people in danger. Is there any way that this could backfire . Well, heres something i think you have to think about. The issue that government la to act as a whole. Local government feeds into state government. State government feeds into the federal government. From the governors perspective and im assuming this is what hes thinking is that something wasnt working, because there was so much activity that was undesirable activity, was occurring over the last four nights that that governor felt he had to make a change and sometimes a change in leadership is something thats necessary. That doesnt necessarily mean someone has to have their head cut off, but it certainly means we need to go in a different direction. If someone can identify the correct person which it looks like they did in this case, move in, change the philosophy how the police are addressing the situation, help restore calm so people can come together and create a dialogue about whats occurred and really take a hard look at everything that occurred under these circumstances, draw out of it lessons that we can learn and apply those lessons to future training and policing as well as in their dialogue with the community, things are going to get a lot better and much quicker, but you have to include that community in all of these types of situations. Without the community, and who by the way are the people that provide the agency with the authority and power that they have, are very necessary component of any, any effort moving forward from this point on. Tom hits on a really important point we should end on, general. Your take. The shortterm problem, at least for now seems theyve been able to calm. Then this longterm issue of trust amongst the community. How does the county police i mean, you could go from the top down. The governor to state patrol to the county police to the local plit. How do they begin to regain the trust of the community . Youve got these local Police Forces who need to work amongst these citizens . I think youll see a lot Different Police department, i hope, after they get a couple days rest and come back on the line and do selfreflection and do, as we say in the trade, some afteraction report, Lessons Learned, that this will be a time for them to reflect, and, remember, at the time, the worst night we had, two nimt nights those Police Officers in a department that size were probably operating on two or three hours sleep. That adrenaline is flowing and they think theyre doing the right thing by suppressing the crowd as opposed to protecting the crowd, i think youll see a Different Police department when they roll back out under the circumstances that theyve been through. Kate . You can be sure that the community and beyond will be watching that really closely now. General russell henri, tom strieker, thank you. Good to have your insights and to see calm in ferguson, missouri. Thank you, both. Take a break. Coming up next on new day, president obama weighing in on the events of ferguson, missouri, but is he doing enough . Some say he should be discussing matters of race and Police Brutality much more. Were going to dive into that debate. Also ahead, a russian truck convoy said to be carrying humanitarian aid for Eastern Ukraine is now at the border, but ukrainians dont want it. Many fear the standoff could stark fighting between the two. Sweet, sweet st. Thomas nice so nice, so niiice st. Croix, full of pure vibes so nice, so niiice st.

Breaking this morning, Russian Armored carriers have kro s hav into Eastern Ukraine happening not far from where another convoy of russian trucks are gathered near the border. Ukrainian Border Guards were inspecting them overnight insisting they contain humanitarian aid, say the russians, but it could be a cover for provide sag port for the prorussian separatists. Monitoring the situation for us what can you tell us, will . Reporter just now learning, john, these ukrainians inspectors, doing their work several hours now are finding nearly empty trucks in that russian convoy in many cases. There is some humanitarian aid, but a lot of trucks are almost empty. Aft the same time, new reports that a convoy of Russian Armored personnel carriers, tanks on wheels used to transport troops into the battlefield were spotted by western journalists and confirmed by the ukrainian as crossing the border carrying plen with military uniforms and the Ukrainian Government thinks this convoy is heading right towards an area that has nearly been recaptured, were told, by the Ukrainian Government. The rebels control just a small area and their situation, were hearing, is so dire, theyre trying to recruit inmates from local prisons to help them fight. This gives light to the skepticism on the part of the Ukrainian Government. Why is there a russian aid convoy during the day but shipments going across the border, armed convoys, overnight, john. Every reason for deep, deep skepticism. The situation changing by the moment. Thanks so much. A look back at home, the weather with meteorologist Indra Petersons looking at it. A mess of week from the midwest out east. Whats it looking like now . Finally drying out, kate. Huge. Detroit, d. C. , eventually into long island, and out towards massachusetts. Finally look at the eastern half of the country. Very much more stable conditions here. You can see actually how dry for the entire eastern half. This is good news. Plus its the weekend, guys. Hello . Temperatures where they need to be. Especially the northeast. Temperatures better going through saturday and sunday. Going to climb up a little warmer. Mid if not upper 70s, maybe a few 80s out there. Down in the southeast, warmer. Climbing a little to above normal. Not far off. Talking low 90s out there. One thing well watch, yes, some rain this time of year. Watching the sen trap plains maybe in towards the midwest tomorrow. In through saturday. By sunday, another front makes showers in towards the northeast itself. The heaviest amount really should be on saturday. Pretty much severe weather, two to four inches possible. Central plains making its way closer. Omaha, towards st. Louis. A localized spot there. Its on sunday youll see more of the widespread rain out there. Very mild. Talk about the rain totals, only an inch or so. Not a big deal. Weekend looking pretty good. Loving it already. Its the weekend. Hello . As Indra Petersons says. Its the weekend. Hello . All relative, looking at less than an inch of rain and you had, what was it in one day . 9. 5 feet. 13 inches. Unbelievable. It was. Hello . Thanks, indra. Coming up next on new day, president obama spoke out yesterday about the unrest going on in ferguson, missouri, but should the president be doing more to directly address the issues of race and Police Brutality. Plus the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown set to be released wichbthin hours. What we now know about this case itself, well break it down, coming up. The wonder of summer is that i never know what kind of adventure awaits. The days are longer, and the breeze feels a little sweeter. And, thanks to volvo, ill pay nothing for repairs or maintenance for 5 years, nothing. They even cover my first months payment. So, ill be happy wherever the summer takes me. The wonder of summer event. The 2015 volvo s60 sedan with complimentary first months payment. Starting at 319 a month. There is never an excuse of violence by police or a cover for vandalism or looting. Also no excuse for police to use Excessive Force against peaceful protests. President obama speaking out for the first time about the situation and violence that rocked the community of ferguson, missouri, this week over the shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Overnight that city finally saw calm after the state Highway Police stepped in. Joining us this morning to sort through the issues, attorney and radio personality and my colleague and cnn anchor don lemon on the ground in ferguson, seeing how things have changed overnight. Don, start with that. I dont think it can be said enough it is a very different morning that ferguson is waking up to than just a few days ago . Reporter oh, absolutely. Very different morning and last night, a very different night. When i got here on the scene, i expected something much different. I thought it would be a lot more volatile, and as tensions were high. And then yesterday i was greeted, people were happy that i was here and i saw the man who is now in charge of this investigation, as we rolled up here yesterday, actually out with protesters, michaela, and mo, out with protesters, hugging them, marching with them saying, you know what . I have Community Ties here. Im from this community. I know you. I feel your pain. I can relate to you. That made a huge difference in the way people reacted. Mo, in a way, it strikes me as a surprise it took so long to do this. It seems like policing 101. Get into the community, talk to folks. It doesnt surprise you, or does it . No. It doesnt surprise me at all, michaela, because this is a problem rampant throughout our country. People that are just not experienced or respectful or compassionate enough to go into the community. The difference that state patrol, highway Ronny Johnson made is that he has compassion for this community. He also decided to allow them to communicate theyre feelings to them and he listened and got in the crowd. A lot 67 people say, well, oh, because hes black and he got in there and they respected him automatically. No. It was because he came from the beginning with respect for the community, respect for the situation, and that is something that we had not seen in ferguson over the last five days. Thats what made the difference. Yeah, but don, i want go ahead. Reporter it does make a difference. I think it does make a difference that hes africanamerican, because this is a city that is, the majority of the city is africanamerican and the majority of the police force is white. Speaking to diversity. When it comes to all facets of life, not just policing. It helps to have someone who looks like them in a position of power and authority and someone who can relate to them. Last night, listen, the protests lasted until 2 00o 3 00 in the morning. Most of the Police Officers went home and the Community Leaders took over. All they wanted to do, be heard, vent and let off some steam, ma cape makayla. I dont think the same skill sets, training, compassion, respect. Reporter i agree. That was missing from the begins with Ferguson Police department. I want to bring in the comments from the president. There have been those that have said they wanted to hear from the president. Many agreed that, or hoped he might make some comments that would have a bit of a personal nature in the same way that he did when Trayvon Martin was killed. He spoke very emotionally and personally about that and got a great deal of criticism. Some saying, don that he was directly speaking to africanamericans instead of the whole nation. In a way, some are now criticizing the president that he didnt do more. Some black critics saying we need him to do something substantive here and address this ongoing issue of policing in our communities. Damned if he does or damned if he doesnt, in a way. Right. Reporter and what is wrong with speaking to certain groups of americans . The crisis at the border. The kids who were going through awful events coming over the border. What is wrong with speaking to the hispanic population . Whats wrong with speaking to africanamericans if theyre in crisis in this country . Whats wrong with speaking to women if women are in crisis in this country . Yes, it is damned if he does, damned if he doesnt. Theres nong wrong with that. If he is the one person in country who has the authority to speak to black people it should be the first black president of the United States. What do you think he needs to do, though . Eric holder at the Justice Department needs to Pay Attention to not just ferguson. Ferguson is staten island. Ferguson is sanford, florida. Ferguson is new york city. Theres so many Police Departments that have these problems. I think its a National Situation to deal with the state, individual Police Departments, and thats what i think eric hold ker can do. Put dollars towards making sure the states can begin to revamp Police Departments. Like that chief of police in ferguson, hes got to go. Thats how it has to start happening. There have to be heads chopped for people to understand this can no longer go on and they need a team of people to do that on a federal level. Don, final thought with you. Let me ask you, in terms of the difference overnight, im wondering what people on the ground in ferguson are saying about the reaction from the president , from the governor . What is the overall tone in that respect . About what outside authorities and leaders are saying . Reporter well, just as people said they wanted the president to speak up sooner. They wanted the governor to speak up sooner and the governor to come here. People have largely put those events behind them and are now looking forward to the future. The important thing to realize, just because the protests overnight were not violent, the only thing they has had some fireworks doesnt mean that the issues have been addressed here. That doesnt mean that racism in this community has been addressed and doesnt mean that we dont need to, and meaning, we as a country, as mo said, we dont need to address issues when it comes to the disconnect between the Police Department and the young men and especially men of color in this country. Those things still need to be addressed, and now theres a way forward. Lacht thought. They figured how to make a difference in ferguson overnight, by bringing in a new team that was equipped to handle the situation. That needs to happen much earlier on in all of these situations that happen in the different cities. Mo and don reporter not being in riot gear made a huge difference. Look at, people who look like the Police Officers who look like they are members of the military, that should not happen in cities and states across the country. Mo, don, thanks for a great conversation. Well watch. This situation is diffused but the problems underlying it have not been addressed. A short break on new day. Up ahead, the man were talking about, this man right here, ronald johnson, cnn had an exclusive ridealong with him. A busy night with him. Were going to bring it to you, after the break.

Com welcome back to new day, everyone. Cnn learned this morning officials in ferguson plan to release the name of the Police Officer finally who shot and killed Michael Brown. Want to break down what the release of that name means for the community and the investigation in a moment. First a step back. What do we know about the shooting . And what do we not know . Our Susan Candiotti has a look. Killed for no reason. Reporter an unarmed teenager shot dead on a saturday afternoon. How did this happen . Moments earlier, Dorian Johnson says he and his friend big mike were walking in the middle of a neighborhood street when a police car pulls up. And the officer says, get the [ bleep ] out of the street. Verbatim. His words. Reporter johnson says a squad car starts to leave but goes into reverse backing up within inches of the teens. At that time, reached out the window with his left arm. Grabbed on to my friend big mikes throat and is trying to pull him in the vehicle. Reporter what Little Police have said differs sharply. Police say the two struggle over the officers gun. There was at least one shot fired within the car. Reporter mike browns friend says brown was just trying to get away. Not fighting for the gun. I saw the fire come out the barrel and i instantly knew was a gun. I looked at my friend, big mike, and i saw he was struck in the chest, or upper region, because i saw blood splatter down his side, his right area, and at that time, we both took off running. Reporter another witness is watching from a distance. The officer gets out of his vehicle and pursues michael as hes shooting his weapon. Michael jerks his body as if he was hit. Reporter at th at that time he told the officer he was unarmed, stop shooting. Turns around faces the officer, puts his hands up and the officer continues to shoot him until he goes down to the ground. I watched him until his body stopped moves and then i ran. Just got another call stating that its a officerinvolved shooting. Reporter as crowds gather, browns uncle rushes over to identify his nephew, but police hold him back. Browns mother desperate for any detail. How many times my son was shot. Reporter we dont even know that. Police do, but refused to reveal even that irrefutable fact. Susan candiotti, cnn, new york. Really interesting to hear that all pieced togetherbreak this down more. With us this morning, joey jackson, hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney and paul callan, cnn legal analyst and former new york city homicide prosecutor. Paul, start with you. Sta start with not what we know but about to know. Were about to know the name of the officer who fired that gun. What do you think that does to the kmurchlt or just community, legal jeopardy is this officer in . We know remarkably little about the facts of the case considering the level of violence going on in ferguson, missouri. Usually in these shootings, the investigation is a lot more open and transparent. The reason, to give the Public Confidence that Law Enforcement authorities are doing what theyre supposed to do. Instead, in this case, the officers name was kept secret, and thats very unusual, because it creates the impression that theres a coverup going on, and it increases this Conspiracy Theory in the community, and i think thats been a major problem in the investigation. So that comes out today and at least that conspiracy part of it, perhaps, will subside a little bit. Joey, the case itself, we heard interesting witness accounts there that had been given to cnn over the last few days about what went on. I think, to me, there seem to be two key moments. What went on at the police car itself, between Michael Brown and the officer, and then what went on a way from the police car when these witnesses say Michael Brown had his hands in the air. What matters legally . Lets start with, in the car . Absolutely. Good morning, john and paul. The reality, everything matters. You want to piece together all the facts here. When you look at this you have to examine the Police Officers actions. Lethal force historically is a last resort. It is a last option, not a first option. So you have to ask, why . What made this officer draw his weapon and then discharge that weapon . What actions were they engaged in at the time, such that the officer felt that he was in imminent fear for his life . The second issue, then when you address this, john, becomes the proportionality of the force used to the threat posed. Why was it necessary as opposed to using a least restrictive form of force such as pepper spray if then had it, such as a taser if he had it or anything else that would make this happen. Then when you examine this, you have to piece together the evidence and say, if there was a shot at the car, which may or may not have been justified and as the facts unfold, it appears not. Why when Michael Brown was running away, not posing any imminent threat, harm or danger, was he then shot again . So finally, john, what i think will happen, ballistic tests will be done to term muzzle to distance of that gun to where the target was unfortunately that target being Michael Brown. That forensic evidence will establish what the distances were of those shots and forensic evidence will be done on the car in terms of dna to determine, is there any on the gun . Any on the car . And what exactly happened to can i jump in . I want to break it down into two parts here. Based on what you say, in the car or near the car itself. What would it have taken, then, for it to be legally justifiable for the officer to shoot his gun at the car . Then well talk about away from the car in a second. What joey says excellent. A two, maybe threepart analysis. We have the statement the Police Officer has an injury to his face. We also know that from eyewitness testimony that maybe a shot was fired in the car. So was somebody reaching for the weapon . Was the officer in fear of his life and the gun discharged in the car as a result of a struggle . Now, if thats the case, the use of force in that discharge in the car maying justifiable. Maybe. Maybe, but take away step away from the car, if as the witnesses say Michael Brown has his hands in the air, twhaen . Then what . Part two. The fleeing doctrine. If you committed a felony, maybe assault on a Police Officer. Maybe thats what the cop will claim, and youre fleeing, the cops used to have the right to shoot you. They dont anymore under u. S. Law. A felon can only be shot if he poses a danger to himself or somebody else. When he turns, and if he did turn with lis hanhis hands up a officer shot them, thats Unreasonable Force and thats criminal. No matter what happened inside the car, then, if as these witnesses say he had his hands up trying to get away from the car, thats the problem for this officer . Absolutely it is. Very troubling. Certainly, again, police are in a position of protecting and serving. When you have someone posing no imminent threat whatsoever and apparently in a surrendering position what is the need then for lethal force or any force for that matter when a person clearly is indicating i mean you no harm. Im not causing any trouble. Im unarmed. At that point, certainly, there would be no justification for the shot, and thats where a prosecution potentially could be forthcoming in this case. Joey jackson, paul cowen, glad to have you with us. The facts that will come out in the coming days and weeks starting today with the name finally of this gentleman. Thanks for being with us. Take care. You, too. Much more news coming ouingf missouri. No excuse for using Excessive Force. Ron johnson is now in charge here. Protect the safety of the people in this community. Michael was a very peaceful guy and we want to remain peaceful. The Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki finally agreeing to step down. The siege at mount sinjar has been broken. Air strikes will continue if needed to keep pushing isis back. Robin williams was in the early stages of parkinsons disease. Parkinsons itself can cause severe depressive symptoms. Good morning and welcome back to new day. John berman is here. Chris is off. A sense of calm has finally returned to ferguson, missouri, it seems. The streets there, largely quiet overnight allowing almost, following almost a week of escalating tensions between police and protesters after the shooting death of 18yearold Michael Brown. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is now in charge. The division was calmed in after local authorities seemed to fail for days to ease the communitys concerns when the unarmed teenager was shot. Hands up dont shoot hands up dont shoot you hear it there. Thousands shows support for brown including some right here in new yorks times square. Today we expect to learn the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown nap name kept under wraps over concerns, the police say in missouri, for that officers safety. Want to bring in cnns don lemon, live in ferguson this morning. Don a very, very different morning there. Reporter yeah it is a very different morning. First i want to tell you the police chief in ferguson says they plan to release that name this morning, today, and when pressed when they were going to do it, he wanted to meet with attorneys, get Legal Counsel before deciding how to do it and when to do it, but we should get information very shortly, and, john, youre absolutely right. The sun went down last night, and came up this morning and there was calm here after days spent yelling at each other, protesters and authorities finally really finding some Common Ground here in ferguson. A lot of credit is going to this man that youre looking at right here. Highway patrol captain ron johnson. You guys mentioned his department was brought down to get the situation under control here in ferguson in a very critical moment and they did just that. Cnns Jason Carroll went on an exclusive ridealong with johnson to see his approach. Over here. Reporter hes a veteran, but some might call this night captain Ronald Johnsons first night on the job. Dont expect any issues, but just in case, there are issues where we have some parties that may get unruly and we need to get out, and call you to come and help us get out. Folks at intersections. Reporter captain johnson took our crew with him on one of his first assignments. Your assessment how things are going so far tonight . Gone fine. I think theyve gone well. I think we have to continue to assess it and monitor it. Reporter and then came time to meet the demonstrators. All right. This is what im going to do. Im going to take a chance. Im going to have you turn around and go back to the mcdonalds, both of you, then ill call you when i need you. All right. Reporter no tear gas, no riot gear. Instead call it street diplomacy. We love everyone. Reporter is this the type of reception you expected when you came down here . This is yes. Reporter while there were plenty of hugs and handshakes, tough questions, too. Yes. Come on. The scene of the crime. Any other person, it they would not be able to leave the scene of the crowd. Actually theyre not allowed to leave the scene. Took him for questioning. Thats normal. You know what . Im tired, too, and were going to get it right. I lived here 42 years. What do you make of all of this crowd . All of these people surrounding you like this in this way supporting you . Dont shoot their voice is being heard. Thats all that the bottom line, thats what they warrant is the their voice to be heard. Reporter did you expect this kind of reception . Certainly police were not getting this kind of reception before. Not to this magnitude. But i know its good people that live in this community, and ive lived here 48 years of my life. So i know weve got good people in this community. Reporter johnson says his approach is and has always been an honest one. I just found this out a few hours ago i was going to be in this job. Im going to be back tonight. If not tonight, ill be back tomorrow. Thats a promise. Okay . Im coming back. You sure . Dont you lying. Im going to be looking for you. We need you out here. All right. Ill be back. Ill be back. Reporter when the night was over, finally time to reflect. Do you feel an overwhelming sense of pressure to take all of this on . No, because i dont think theres pressure to the honest. And i think if we treat them with respect and honesty thats all we can do. Reporter Jason Carroll, cnn, ferguson, missouri. Reporter hmm. Wa huge difference. Joined by daniel iceham, retired chief of police for st. Louis and mow a criminology professor at the university. Amazing to see what Ron Johns Han done. Before we get to that what about the releasing of the name . Will that make a difference . Now that the situation is calm, it would be great if the police chief can release the name of the officer. Hopefully in the background, they will provide any security and continue to monitor the situation to see if there are any threats that come up against him. Reporter uhhuh. Go back to what happened here. An immediate shift in tone. What happened . Well, i think that we got locked in a cycle of this daytime, allowing them to have a peaceful rally and then i believe that the Police Department felt to control the situation at night they had to use more force. So there was a continual psych that wepsych cycle that went on four days but no dialogue. Theyve reach add Common Ground. Allowing them to peacefully protest, have their First Amendment right and also protect the public. Reporter you were the chief between 2008 and 2013 and know this community well. What do you make of first of ale, lets talk about the protesting, and some of the violence that happened. As i spoke to one of the newspaper editors here, he said there were outside agitators. People who came in and just wanted to cause trouble. They werent necessarily from the city of ferguson . Is that correct . Thats probably correct, but that happens in all protests. Whenever you have a major protest, there are people, local people, who are involved in the pro test and then a wider group from other municipalities and even from out of town who come. Its the responsibility of the police to be able to attack those people who are causing problems but allow the protesters to expose and to have their frustration heard. Reporter i know you probably hate to go back and second guess, you know, your comrades, and your cowork others, but the way you know, st. Louis police have been criticized the way they handled it, Ferguson Police criticized the way they handled this. Do you think they handled it improperly . The problem was there was no dialogue. The only way to solve these situations is through a community approach. So i think the first tactic was, lets use force. And people were angry, and that force was not working. So the problem was, they never reevaluated what they were doing. Reporter was there a legitimate fear from Police Officers go ahead . I think there was. We all were horrified by the initial stages of this incident. Where people were breaking into businesses, they were looting. We saw molotov cocktails. Shots fired. We even had reports of shots fired at helicopters. So there was a real concern. Reporter a legitimate fear. On the part of officers, legitimate fear. Reporter lets talk about, i want to get this in, talk about the equipment. The apparatus police are using. A lot of it is coming from the pentagon, surplus from iraq, from afghanistan. And it appears that members of a small police force are members of the military . Theyre throughout in tactical gear. Ron johnson said, i dont want people wearing any of that gear. Pointing guns at citizens. What about the optics of all this . What about that equipment . Should Police Forces be equipped with that sort of equipment . Well, in the wake of 9 11, there are a lot of Police Departments that bought this type of gear. The original intent was, if we have a terrorist situation reporter for training. If we have to do a s. W. A. T. Entry, search warrants. Typically thats what its used for. It wasnt necessarily intended for these types of encounters. So i think, yes. We do, and Law Enforcement and the Community Needs to think how do we use this equipment . Is it the proper use in domestic protests . Reporter and are those Police Departments necessarily trained to use that equipment, and does it give them a false sense of security or bolster you know what they can accomplish out in a situation like that . In this case, there were multiple agencies that were involved, and they are well trained in terms of s. W. A. T. Injuries, but not necessarily using it in a protest scenario. Thats something we need to examine. Reporter a lot has been made about the racial makeup of the department, the lack of diversity in the department here in ferguson, and ron johnson is an africanamerican. Many in the community believe that they can relate to him, because leez frhes from here, Family Member s harassed by police. Should the police force at least try to mimic or make up the racial component at least in their in the community theyre policing . I think in this case, the diversity of the Police Department could have mattered. If there had been a relationship where the community, in the community, where someone involved could have come to an officer and said, hey, this is what we want accomplished. We want to peacefully protest. We want to express our frustration, and that dialogue might have allowed them to ramp down the tension. So Diversity Matters a lot, because of the different experiences, different backgrounds that you bring to bear and all of that helps a very holistic approach to how you police. Reporter having the confidence of the community is very important to police . Yes. Reporter will they be able to regain the confidence of this community Going Forward . They have work ahead of themselves. They need to repair the trust. Issues of legitimacy. Partnership with the community. I think they can do it, but they have to sit down and this has to be a long, a long discussion about how are we going to move forward . How are we going to partner to keep this Community Safe . Reporter its not that is not going to be easy, considering what happened. No, its not, but i think they can do it. There are Police Departments that have gone through these incidents before. And i think they can do it. Reporter whats your one piece of advice to them . My piece of advice is that policing is a partnership. Its collectively working together to keep the Community Safe. Reporter thank you very much. Daniel eisen, former police chief in st. Louis city. Kate, back to you. Don, well get back to you. Thanks so much, don on the ground for us in ferguson, missouri. Turn our focus overseas. The white house has what it wanted in iraq. The embattled Prime Minister, nuri al plmaliki stepping down. Clearing the way for his successor to try and unite the country against the threat from isis. Meantime, though, president obamas claim of victory in working to help free the refugees from the grip of militants on mount sinjar, some say may be premature. Cnns Barbara Starr is live at the pentagon for us. Barbara, youve been following this and breaking news on this all week long for weeks now. What do you make of it . And what are you hearing from sources . Is the siege broken, at the administrations claimed . Reporter the siege of isis on iraq far from broken. Just yesterday a u. S. Intelligence official told reporters that isis now is seen by them as a credible alternative, his words, to al qaeda. Isis, a credible alternative to al qaeda, and that isis views conflict with the u. S. As inevitable. The problem in iraq right now, maliki may be out, al abadi may be in, but he has to establish a government that can bring the iraqi people together, enough to challenge isis. Hes got to get u. S. Officials believe the sunis back in the fold, get them away from isis, and sbook an iraqi government. The u. S. Did conduct air strikeses in erbil against isis targets. That is not going to push isis back. They are still on the move across Northern Iraq, and there are still tens of thousands of iraqi civilians suffering in iraq at the hands of isis. So as far as many people see, no siege has been broken. Kate . And what is going to happen with the iraqi military, and what is going to happen in the next 30 days . Key questions no one has an answer for quite yet. Brash starr at the pentagon, thanks. Michaela and a look at the headlines.

Coming up next on new day, a missouri lawmaker caught up in the tear gas during this weeks protests in ferguson, missouri, lashing out at the governor of the state. Were going to talk to her live about the very latest are and also the inflammatory tweets she sent out like this, calling for the governor to step down. And there are calls from democrats and republicans to demilitarize american Police Departments. What could actually happen . You might be surprised whos making some of these calls. Well tell you when we go inside politics coming up. phone ringing whats up jake . That depends man, what are you doing . Just cruising around in my new ride. Oh, the one im not suppose to touch, right . You got it. Guess what im touching it right now, craig. What you talkin about jake . With my voice. That doesnt make any sense. You let me in man, by answering and i like it in here. Youre not touching it touch is physical, your voice isnt physical. My sound waves are pouring out of your speakers, penetrating every cubic inch. Stop disrespecting her ooh and the dodge likes it. Dont you dart . Gets your filthy voice off her jake reporter welcome back to new day, everyone. Much calmer here as the sun comes up, in ferguson, missouri, after days of violent protests fillaled the streets over the shooting death of an unarmed teenager, Michael Brown. Now cnn learn police plan to finally release the name of the officer who killed brown. Joining me to talk about this, she was actually tear gassed during one of the protests and recently lashed out to the governor over what happened here in ferguson. First, your reaction to the name being released and then talk about the controversial tweets . Im very happy the name is coming oubt. My residents have been asking for this for a very long time. In the state of missouri we have a 72hour rule. Any information that we kwhaeft to be released within 72 hours. That was not followed. And so we are awaiting for the names so people can know who the person was. Reporter youre optimistic that calm will be kept now . I hope so. What my constituents really want is transparency in this entire investigation. If they get that, i think theyll be fine. Reporter i have been traveling, i was remiss i feel, in not asking you about the twitter controversy you had with governor jay nixon. You said governor jay nixon, the situation in ferguson does not represent who we are. Must keep the peace safeguarding rights of citizens and the press. You said you dont know s, because you never communicate. F you, governor, and he says, as governor i am committed to ensuring the pain of last weekends tragedy does not continue to be compounded by the ongoing crisis pup said, f you, governor. Im calling your bs. Do up regret that . Not at all. Its my First Amendment right and the governor has never come to the Minority Community unless it was politically expedient for him. Reporter did you have to use that language as a representative . Do you feel it was appropriate . Absolutely. Because the governor doesnt listen. He has a 30year history of not listening to minority representatives and senators. This past year alone he never spoke on really important legislation dealing with the education of young africanamerican students, and he vetoed a bill that was bipartisan. So he has showed a lack of interest for the Minority Community. My community has been fed up with tear gas. This is his katrina. What we have reporter why do you call it his katrina . Because he failed to respond. Reporter can you give us a minute. Were online. Go ahead. Seriously, he failed to respond, not even been at ground zero. He met in a Community North of us, not ferguson. And a Community South of us but the governor has not come to ferguson and talked to the young people who were actually the victims of whats been going on. Yes, im frustrated, because my constituents are frustrated. When senator mccaskill came to ferguson she had no detail whats so ever and embraced the community and talked to them to listen to what theyre concerns were. Reporter but as a leader, you set the tone. Right . Yes. Reporter you dont want violence, right . I dont want violence. Reporter and you dont want people calling people names and essentially were you calling him names. You said, f you. What if he had done the same to you . Im asking you, what if he had done the same to you . He ignores us. Reporter answer my question. What if he said to you, started Something Like that on twitter say, f you, how would you feel . He does it by his actions because he doesnt correspond with us, he doesnt listen to us. He doesnt communicate with any of us. Not even the republicans. If he cant correspond or communicate with democrats in the senate or the house, then thats pretty bad. Reporter so you say thats the way help should be dealt with because of his actions . Thats his fu to us and not just the 14 years where ive been in state government. Its been 30 years. Reporter a group of students last night when we were on, diverse group, white and black, and a report, the only report of violence, a white student was attacked. Do you think thats something targeted or something that happens in these situations . Its unfortunate. I would like to tell you all the protesters have been really peaceful thus far and it has been interracial. Weve had multiple groups of people coming out to protest. So that incident is unfortunate, and i do not condone that kind of behavior whatsoever, but we have to maintain the philosophy of being accepting of all people. This issue Michael Brown issue this incident, is about young people. Not just black people. Not just white people. All people. All young people. They are victims. Theyre the one whose have been threatened, the one whose have been harassed and the reason ive been out here day one at ground zero is reporter and lashing out on twitter because of that. Yes, because i want to ensure the First Amendment rights for all people and when we were tear gassed and i was tear gassed fw twice. Not once, twice nap was an infii infringement upon my rights. If i was nervous and scared, im pretty courageous, but if i was nervous and scared and shaking, i know 17yearolds were shaking, too. Reporter thank you for coming in and taking the tough questions and being transparent again. Absolutely. I believe in the First Amendment. Reporter thank you. Appreciate you joining us. Kate, a little later on were hearing theyll release the name of that Police Officer and hopefully that will make a difference here. People calling for transparency and police saying theyre going to do it. We should know later in the day when. Back to you. Don, thanks. Well get back to you briefly. Take a break. Coming up next on new day, the calm in ferguson, missouri, is being credited to the actions of captain ron johnson. You see him there. Hes with state Highway Patrol. Were going to hear from him about his approach to keeping the peace. And these images of police wears gas masks, manned with rifles. Is the pentagon to blame for supplying these weapons of war .

Welcome back to new day. A look at headlines at 26 minutes past the hour. Praise from the u. S. And u. N. For Nuri Al Maliki making way for his replacement, haider al abadi.

Earlier today during his first public mass at the world cup stadium, the pope prayed for dead passengers of the ferry disaster in korea and their grieving families. Some 50,000 people joined him at that mass. A long time in coming. 20 years since the papal visit. Turn to washington and john king. Inside politics on new day. Happy friday. T. G. I. F. , how are you today . Hey, hey. All right. Talking about ferguson and the political impact on inside politics. With me sharing reporting and inside politico, and in our conversation yesterday morning talking could or should the president , could or should oh politician doss nor speak out about ferguson . We know Marthas Vineyard the president had a meeting with his attorney general eric holder. White house release add photograph of that calling the governor of missouri jay nixon. Then the president came out and made a statement. Youd have to say, listen to the statement, say this got quick results. There is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. Theres also no excuse for police to use Excessive Force against peaceful protests. Or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Am i right to say its a very calm but almost a textbook use of the bully pulpit . A balanced statement. The president is critical of the violence and looting but then essentially without using hard words criticizes the police and the governor assaying change your ways. And the governor acteded quickly after that as we saw the difference between what weve seen play out on tv between even yesterday morning and this morning has been remarkable since the Highway Patrol took this over. Yes. The president did a very measured, careful statement. Hes not the mayor, not the police commissioner. He does have a responsibility to be careful. And the tone i thought was perfect in that i would love to nope what they privately said to the governor, and to be fair to the governor, we dont know if it was just the president s intervention that had him change his behavior. Within years of him calling him and calling him out publicly, you see the difference today. Hailed and greeted as a hero. When people look back at this a question, i was looking at this in the conversation on twitter, and twitters been very engaged in this. Some were saying, why did it take the president so long to even do this . You saw that swift change. Could he have done monday or tuesday . A place essentially on fire by wednesday night and thursday. For the president to act, because it seemed like once he stepped out you had a flood of action and a flood of other politicians also there on the ground. And white house Officials Say they were trying and hoping to leave this to the local authorities and then reached the conclusion to your point it was spinning out of control and bad and likely to get worse and the president came out and spoke and also we should remind folks there it a Justice Department investigation of what happened at the Michael Brown shooting. Well watch it unfold. A calmer day this morning and were grateful. Also a fascinating and potentially interesting political conversation happening. You have people on the left and on the right looking at the images. We can show you some. From the wednesday Night Protests where it looks like as the police say theyre out on the streets to have crowd control, it looks like a military operation. Armored vehicles, police in camouflage and s. W. A. T. Vests out there. Claire mccaskill, democrat in missouri, saying she thinks too much police work has become like the army or like the military. Listen. After 9 11, in a, sometimes in knee jerk fashion, we began equipping Police Departments with all kinds of tools that had not been typical of policing in this country. And maybe its time to look at all of that, and make a determination as to how effective is a show of what is military force in obviously an intensely and emotionally charged environment like the people of ferguson are facing. Claire mccaskill there, democrat. Her home state. Shes talking about essentially the look. How you have people protesting peacefully what does it feel like in your community to see an army comingality you . The interesting part, the conservative reflex over the years, defend Law Enforcement. But a number of republicans, paul rand saying, when you couple this militarization of Law Enforcement with an erosion of Civil Liberties given these developments is ch it is almost impossible for americans not to feel like their government is targeting them. Goes on to say, given the Racial Disparities in our criminal Justice System it is impossible for africanamericans not to feel their government is particularly targeting them. So a bipartisan consensus, will something happen . Or will we just talk about it. I suspect talk about it for a while but the conversation is moving from the left to the right. Messages from the postoccupied wall street days on one hand and judicial reform coming on the right from the other. Rand pauls comment, some spoke about the arrest of reporters when the colleague was arrested. That struck them as over the line. Inner its of where rand paul went, a wakeup call to his party more than anyone has done. I will say police hassling, arresting, reporters is over the line. Much more important, the treatment of citizens in this community. Im not minimizing the work of the brave reporters out there, too. You see the pictures. Both have a point. If this is your neighborhood, your neighborhood, youre out on its streets and 99. 9 of these people are out there peacefully protesting what does it feel like . And this is a community, right, that has had an issue with race. I mean, its a predominantly pr africanamerican community. Three africanamerican Police Officers. So you have rand paul now emerging at the republican race man. The only republican, really, to come out and say the words africanamerican, and mention race and talk about the inequality in terms of the tr t treatment that africanamericans receive in the criminal Justice System. Something president obama didnt do. He was criticized by some for not at least showing some empathy with the africanamericans, in the way he did with the Trayvon Martin statement. Rand paul fascinating and taking a risk talking about race. A lot of the left criticized rand paul whether hes general wic wichbedo genuine here. See if he delivers and goes forward. It is, how often do we sit here in the morning saying you have democrats and republican ps actually talking about somethinging where they might agree . See where this goes. Having a complementary conversation about people speaking out about this now. Theres this. I dont know what to say about this. Congressman steve king republican of iowa a tea party favorite. Might remember a week ago public tv footage of a conferenceation with dreamers, undocumented latino who wanted to approach him about immigration views. A conservative outlet, on television. Inter1r50ud, asked a question about the Congressional Black Caucus complaining there might be racial profiling, and in ferguson. Heres what he said. This idea of no racial profiling, i see the video. Looks like you dont need to bother with that particular factor because theyre all, appear to be of a single, you know, of a single origin, i should say, continental origin. Might be a way to phrase that. Tore might not be. Might not be. Definitely would not you could not go with that. Yeah. This steve king la not really been known as a racial healer. So this is not, i dont think its a surprise if you had to name somebody who might say that. That was not wise. Right. How about, their americans . Our neighbors . Right. Yes. And when looking, as you said, in your community, in your homes, in your neighborhood, when you are seeing this image of rifles pointed at people who live there, thats hard to get past. And i think thats how americans saw this. They saw this as a neighborhood and saw those militarized police and tanks moving in and said, whats going on here . Thanks for coming in. Back to you. Steve king, we are having a different conversation about ferguson. Lets hope it continues. Very different, it seems. Than anyone else. Steve king. And the maggie put it well. Not a racial healer. Thanks, john. Coming up next on new day, just when ferguson, missouri, seems on the brink of collapse, order is being restored. Captain ron johnson with the Highway Patrol led the charge to make it happen. It happened overnight. Well have his take on how to reach out to the Community Coming up after the break.

That is the police chief of ferguson, tom jackson, out this morning actually talking to protesters. Coming out to shake hands. A live interview with him a little later on on new day talk about the releasing of the name of the officer involved in the Michael Brown shooting, but vie to say what a difference from earlier in the week we have been witnessing here as protests over the Michael Brown shooting the police didnt do much to slow the trouble. Amp days of listening and a police mount, it is now led by captain ron johnson who managed to connect with the community and return a sense of calm here. I spoke with captain johnson last night here on cnn. Heres some of what he said about how to bring normalcy back to this community. Ill tell you, we have changed that. We have taken gas masks off. Youre not seeing officers with gas masks on their legs and theyre not going to put them back on, but i can tell you we will protect the safety of the people in this community. We will protect the health and welfare of the Small Business owners in this community. I walked down the street and saw my favorite barbecue restaurant with boards on it. Thats a Small Business person that marks our community, and theres several Small Businesses that make this community, and when this is over im going to ride up and downed this roadway and go to the restaurants and the bars down the street and have me a beer or two, so we are going to preserve that, and this is my community. I walked down here, saw people from my church, people i went to school with and people that i feel are a part of this, and the frustration is in my household too. I have a young son thats 21, a daughters that is 23 and have to answer the same questions that the parents out here have to answer, and reporter those are . Can my son and daughter walk the streets and feel safe . Can my son and daughter walk with pride . And im going to make sure i do everything that they can have that. Reporter actually i was in new york on the anchor desk last night watching the unrest happen here. When i walked up today, there was no fear. Have you been out speaks to do people, and what are they telling . The interesting thing about tonight, theres a lot of energy but its positive energy. Thats a new thing. We saw a lot of energy over the last few nights but it wasnt positive like it is today. Theres been a true change. There really has been. Reporter is it is this an admission from you that the tactics were, police handled the next couple of nights wrong . Id like to explain a little. The energy is better. Regardless of the opt ices, i had an opportunity to call with reverend sharpton, the optics are nor pretty. If youre here over the last few nights youve seen that. What were proud of, no one protester or one rioter and most importantly the people that live in this community have been seriously injured during this. So im sorry about the optics, i understand that. But this positive energy here tonight it is really it encourages me. Reporter the citizens are saying, listen, theres always one in the crowd, and the citizens are saying that they are the one whose are being intimidated by police and feel like they were positive for the most part, but officers werent positive. I understand the perception in the community about estly do. We just want to build on the atmosphere tonight to make sure everything stays as safe as it possibly can. Reporter many people who live in the missouri people say they feel like theyre under, theyre in militarized zones that theyre occupied. What do they need to do . The police, do police need to reflect the community that they serve in . I believe in true diversity. The Police Department should reflect the community they serve and part of the strategy as far as any agency and Police Department throughout the United States so people know the cultures of different people. All kind of people make a community. If you got people in your agency that know the culture already, we can spread that knowledge among all officers to build the trust and rapport with the community again. Reporter members of the county Police Department, city Police Department, talking about st. Louis and Ferguson Police, highway safe patrol, everyone promising transparency when it comes to the investigation and how theyre dealing with the citizens. A big part of that transparency coming up shortly as they announce the name of the officer involved in the shooting. S that is, you see here that is tom jackson. He is the chief of Ferguson Police. Hes coming over, going to do a live interview with us to talk about the releasing of the name and how hair latheyre handling situation here at ferguson. At the top of the hour. Back to you, kate. First they needed to find calm in the city and then the focus could turn where it needs to be, on the investigation, and really getting down to the answers of what happened that day. That seems a step forward is going to happen today. Don, thanks so much. Back to you shortly. Coming up next on new day, talking about Robin Williams. His widow revealing details about the actors final days. His depression and a private battle that no one had known about previously. His battle with parkinsons disease. Were going to talk about that with cnn chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. Hell be here. Ah. boy im here im here cop too late. I was gone for five minutes ugh move it. Youre killing me. You know what, dad . Im good. dad it may be quite a while before hes ready, but our Subaru Legacy will be waiting for him. vo the longestlasting midsize sedan in its class. Introducing the allnew Subaru Legacy. Its not just a sedan. Its a subaru. Welcome back to new day everyone. Were learning more about the final days of Robin Williams. His widow revealed he was in the early stages of parkinsons disease when he committed suici suicide. She also said he was sober at the time but struggling with depression and anxiety. The question now, could parkinsons have added to his depression . Could it have been the root in some cases of his depression . Joining us entertainment correspondent Nischelle Turner and chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta, great to have you with us. The news came out yesterday, i think it was a surprise to a lot of people. Robin williams was wide out in the open with his battles of addiction over the years. We knew a little bit about the depression but the parkinsons a secret. Any word why he may have kept it a secret and why his widow went public with it when she did. Its interesting. She said in her statement that he just didnt feel comfortable releasing it yet. We dont know when the diagnosis happened so maybe he was still trying to come to grips with this diagnosis of having parkinsons disease, so he just wasnt comfortable talking about it yet or he may not have ever wanted to talk about it but i think her releasing this information was really interesting, and you and i were talking about why would she do that . Sometimes, and we dont know this to be the case but sometimes like if a celebrity has information and a tabloid gets a hold of it and they know that theyre going to release it, they want to get out in front of the story, they want to control the conversation, control the dialogue, and they dont want a tabloid splashing their information all over it. So it could have been a situation where she said listen, i need to get out in front of something, i want to make sure that people know this our way and that we control this conversation. Sanjay, a know a lot of doctors were looking at this and when this news came out aha, the National Parkinsons Foundation seen studies a connection between parkinsons and depression in 50 of the cases . Theres a real connection here. I dont think its one causes the other, you have parkinsons disease necessarily causing depression but i think it can exacerbate it and some of it is psychological. Theres no cure for this disease, people can get good treatments but theres no cure that can be psychologically tough. You used to like to exercise and bike ride to relieve his anxiety that, could be part of it. Theres also a neuroscience component as well. Patients with parkinsons disease tend to have lesser er tone serotonin, one of the feel good transmitters in the train brain. It can could worsen signs of depression that already existed. One of the interesting ironies, Robin Williams had done work for parkinsons disease with michael j. Fox who everyone knows has been dealing with parkinsons disease. He sent out a tweet stunned to learn robin pd. Pretty sure his support for our foundation predated his diagnosis. True friend i wish him peace. Holly robinson peat said the same thing, her father died from the disease, sometimes exercise can help and if he had a fear he couldnt continue the biking and exercise because of the disease maybe is would lend to more of a depressed state. Sanjay we talk about parkinsons disease, usually diagnosed as an absence of something else, you look at it, i guess what im saying no one knows what causes it but people looked into over the years whether theres a link between cocaine abuse and parkinsons. Robin williams admittedly was dealing with cocaine early on in his career. Youre right, first of all they often call that a diagnosis of exclusion. If nothing else fits it ends up being that disease, thats sometimes how parkinsons is diagnosed. Theres a lot made of the idea cocaine would cause people to have parkinsonism later in the life, thats never been proven. There was a lot of theories based on lab studies, when they exposed animal brains to high doses of cocaine, they lost a certain thing in the brain called dopeamine. From the height of the cocaine use in the 70s and 80s, those people are starting to become baby boomers. Within the next 10 to 15 years well have a better idea longterm if the cocaine use led to the symptoms but that has not been shown for fact. Quickly, sanjay, this presumably was the early stages of parkinsons for Robin Williams. What kind of treatment would he have had . People focus on the tremor when they think of parkinsons disease but theres a lot more going on in the body, people can have difficult with balance, problems with their Blood Pressure, they can develop a masked face, you may have noticed this, they start to lose expression in their face. Treatment wise, theres some very good treatments as i mentioned, medications to replace the dopamine which has gone from the brain. Interestingly, john, you were mentioning some of his work for the parkinsons foundation. He played one of my favorite characters in awakenings a fictionalized oliver sachs. He worked on the medication that treats parkinsons disease. That was what the character was in the movie but theres deep brain stimulations, theres a clip there, deep brain stimulation is another option and stem cell transplants being worked on. Theres no particular cure but theres people who live Productive Lives with this. Sanjay mentioned the masked face thing because Robin Williams made his life on his expression. Right. So that could have been a really big fear of his, if things like this were starting to set in with him. It would have been understandable and fitting one of his great movie roles wases adoctor and not surprising one of your movie heroes was a doctor as well. Dr. Sanjay gupta thank you for being here. Tune in to sanjay gupta m. D. Weekends saturday at 4 30 p. M. , sunday, 7 30 a. M. Eastern time. Next up, president obama looking to calm tensions in ferguson, missouri.

His name has been kept under lock and key quite honestly because police there say of concerns over his safety. The local police no longer overseeing the situation there, the state Highway Patrol is in and a sense of calm has returned to this town that has spent much of the last week under the national microscope. Streets were largely peaceful overnight after days of rising tensions and demonstrations between protesters and police. Hands up dont shoot hands up dont shoot chants of hands up dont shoot thousands of people across the country showed support for Michael Ferguson and his family. Lets start with don lemon live in ferguson, where we are awaiting some pretty big news there, don. Yes, good morning. We are waiting pretty big news.

Theres been a change in leadership, how that can turn the tide in a tense time, tense situation. For days it seemed that everyone in ferguson was pouring fresh salt on old wounds but john, as you mentioned here, the state Highway Patrol led by captain ron johnson came in with an effort to connect with residents fed up with their local police force and it worked. It appears to have worked. So captain johnson stressing his part in this community that he is a part of this community and he says he walks the streets, hes a family man. He takes a personal stake in seeing the situation defuse and instead of throwing molotov cocktails, residents were throwing themselves into captain johnsons arms with gratitude and kept their message forceful but it was peaceful last night for the most part. Lets bring in ana cabrera with the latest. Good morning, ana. Good morning to you, don. Really what a difference some new policing tactics, new tone have made in the past 24 hours. We are outside that burned out quick trip, it was chaos wednesday night, not last night. In fact, protesters basically policed themselves, and they protested peacefully. They packed up their things, they left on their own accord, just a few hours ago, and they say they finally feel like their voices are being heard, that people are listening, and for the first time in almost a week, they have hope that justice will be served. Dont shoot dont shoot reporter calls for justice, peace, and answers. Anger and frustrations ravaging this community for days, finally calming after nearly a week of unrest following the Fatal Shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Hands up dont shoot. Reporter control over security now the responsibility of Missouri State troopers. There it goes, they are firing onto the crowd. Reporter after chaos broke out wednesday night, Police Firing tear gas, smoke bombs and rubber bullets into the crowd. Overnight, no riot gear, no Armored Vehicles no, machine guns. Leading the charge is ferguson local cap ratain ron johnson, walking aamongst the protesters at times embracing them. Telling don lemon he plans to protect the Community Without gas masks, listen to them and give them answers. I think they know what im telling them are true and my feelings are true and honest and i made a promise about integrity, integrity is something i cant get by. Trust is something thats hard to gain but easy to lose, and i think weve got their trust and i am going to do everything i can to maintain their trust. Good afternoon, everybody. Reporter president obama calling for an end to the Excessive Force used by police against peaceful protests as did missouri governor jay nixon vowing to return trust between residents and police. Ferguson will not be defined as a community torn apart by violence but known as a community who pulled together to overcome it. Reporter Police Announcing they will release the name of the officer who shot Michael Brown today. New moments after the shooting showing Michael Browns body lying uncovered in the street, his uncle pushed away, while crowds at the scene yelled at police that brown did nothing wrong. With hands up. Reporter browns family attending a protest vigil ate the st. Louis arch telling Cnns Wolf Blitzer they wanted to be surrounded by peace as they try to grieve. We havent had time to grieve much. Its been a long, stressful time. We dont really have many answers to what occurred on that day, and she cant rest as a result of not knowing everything that occurred on the evening. Reporter again the headline today, local authorities will release the name of the officer involved in the shooting death of Michael Brown so we should have an answer to one question that has been on so many minds in this community, who killed the unarmed teenager. It could be weeks, possibly even months before we know why. Yes, they still have to conduct an autopsy, the family wants an official autopsy and the investigation obviously if done correctly is going to take some time. Ana, appreciate that. Joining me now is a man who is going to make that announcement, give the officers name, Ferguson Police chief tom jackson. Thank you for joining us. Nice to be here. Reporter you got any sleep . A little bit. Reporter so youre going to announce the name of the officer. I am. Reporter here to do it now . No, i think we need to do it in front of the entire press corps thats been here the entire thing. Reporter is the Police Officer a veteran . Hes been with us about six years. Reporter what kind of an . Er is he . Great, hes been a fantastic officer, no problems. Reporter no problems . No. Reporter no disciplinary problems, nothing for the past six years. No. Reporter and a member of this community. Is he a lifelong member . I really dont want to talk about where he lives and so forth. Reporter has he lived here his entire life . You know, again oh, yeah, in the st. Louis area. Reporter his entire life. So have you spoken to the officer . I spoke to him a couple days ago and ill be talking to him, giving him a call. Reporter how does he feel whats going on . Hes devastated heartbroken, this is his community. He never wanted any of this to happen, and he certainly is heartbroken by the continuous violence thats been going on. Its tough. Its hard. Reporter why did it take so long . Well, as i said initially, we backed off on releasing his name because of the threats of violence and Death Threats that were coming in, and i did say to you that this was going to be a daytoday decision we were going to continue to weigh the value of releasing it to the press corps, and to the Community Versus safety issues and thats been an ongoing discussion, and we had a couple meetings yesterday about this issue and came to the conclusion that it was time. Reporter youre doing this voluntari voluntarily . Theres no court recororder . Theres no court order. Reporter people have been concerned about the tactics that your Police Officers have taken here, and im wondering if you, do you feel personally that you made any leadership mistakes about the deployment of officers in full combat attire and gear . Its not so much combat attire. Its tactical attire. We never called in the National Guard. The governor and all of us agreed that that was not the proper thing to do, that we would handle this in blue, that means with Police Presence. We had tactical teams out there and in spite of the perception thats been out there, you know, across the country about the tactics and the exchanges between police, no deadly force was used and not a single protester war rioter was injured during this entire process. Reporter is there anyone in your command structure that has any accountability about the decisions that were made this week . We are all accountable for our actions at all times and ultimately that all comes to me. And theres going to be a lot of discussion after action discussions, Lessons Learned discussions, and what happened happened. The perception of the community is not actually what happened on the ground. Again, no one was hurt, and im really proud of that, and thats really what were going to focus on Going Forward is making sure that nobody does get hurt. Reporter do you stand by your decisions . I do. Reporter did you make any mistakes . Are you willing to admit that you made mistakes . Certainly, yes. Reporter which were . I cant list them now. Its just too soon. Its too soon to really go into that, but moving forward were talking to irve who is a stakeholder in this, the Justice Department and actually setting up the protest area with the cones and putting out the portapotties is the result of a discussion between myself, the Community Relations bureau for the Justice Department and the naacp. So we all met yesterday morning and we actually rode out that plan, mr. Pruitt, local president of the knanaacp and reverend ford, National President of the naacp, we worked out the plan. These guys have been on the other side of the line and theyve been tremendous help to us. Reporter so youre not involved in the investigation at all anymore . I havent been since day one. Reporter a lot of people around the country have questions for you, including our own kate bolduan. She wants to ask you a few questions. Yes, chief, just to join in with what don was saying there, one of the questions has been all along the identity of the Police Officer, but another question that a lot of folks have is how many times Michael Brown was shot. Are you going to release that information today . Can you tell us now . Reporter i actually cant release that information because i dont know. The autopsy has been done, but the coroners report has not been released. All of that information is up to st. Louis county and really the county prosecuting attorney to determine when thats going to be released. Reporter when you spoke to the officer, though, he didnt give you any account of how many times he believes he shot . No, i dont want to conduct any interviews or be involved in the collection of evidence at all. Reporter go ahead, kate, im sorry. That gets to some of the criticism weve been hearing of how this has been handled over the last handful of days, the criticism and i want to you answer to that of the selective release of information, not releasing the identity of the officer until today, but not releasing how many times Michael Brown had been shot but also then deciding to release the fact inthat the officers face s swollen. Can seems quite onesided to some folks. What do you say to that . Im sorry if it does. Im just releasing what i know, and so i dont want to talk to anything that ive heard or that somebodys told me who doesnt have direct knowledge. The entire investigation of this, and ive told everybody from day one, from the first moment i learned of it, i called the county police chief and asked him to send his people to the scene, and take control of the entire investigation. My people backed away, set up a perimeter and allowed them to do their work, and were going to continue to do that. I cant release anything from the coroners report because i dont know. I cant release anything about the interviews with the officers or any of the witnesses, because i dont know, and i really dont want to know until this is done. And i have been asking everyone, every member of Law Enforcement, even members of the community when they come on, it seems that theres, youve lost confidence in a large part for the citizens that you are supposed to serve and protect. Can you regain that confidence . I think were in the beginning phases of regaining that confidence. Part of that is getting with people who can help us do that. You know, the Community Relations bureau, the department of justice, theyve been doing this since 1964, bringing communities back together after racial tensions and theyre here and said theyll be here as long as i need them. Reporter people are calling for to you lose your job. I understand that. Reporter for you to be fired. I understand that. Reporter what do you say . Im not going anywhere. Im going to stay and see this through. Reporter what did you learn . Ive learned an awful lot. I learned that i did not know that we had this building under tow of mistrust in that area over there in the community. Reporter how could you not know that as the chief of police . Youve been here, you said you worked for the county for years. Yes. Reporter you worked with ron johnson, been here what, four and a half years. How could you not know that . Because weve been engaged with the apartment complex management, wanted to set up a Neighborhood Watch program, weve been over there doing resource displays. We have our Neighborhood Watch meetings once a month. We have nine neighborhood associations here that are all engaged with the Police Department. So all im seeing is engagement and somewhere underneath all that is a growing mistrust that we have to get back. So people are looking at you around the country, around the world really and wondering if ferguson is emblematic of something thats happening across america in our culture. What do you say to them and what do you say to your own people here about what transpired and how you plan to move forward here . What happened is a terrible tragedy from the very first moment to right now, but we also started the healing process right away, when we saw what was happening sunday we started meeting with Community Leaders who i know, ive been with, and we immediately started talking about getting together and to get out in the community and solve these problems and to regain the trust and to do training and mediation and whatever it takes to make sure that the entire community is served taken has confidence in this Police Department. Reporter i know we have to go but if youll allow me one question, what do you say to the family of Michael Brown . I dont think i could say anything to them that would help. I cant imagine losing a child. I wouldnt even want to think about losing a child. I have so much sympathy and compassion for them, and i just, i want the truth, just like they do. Reporter thank you very much. What time can we expect to hear . Probably a little after 8 00. Reporter a little after 8 00 central time, 9 00 eastern. Thank you, chief jackson. We appreciate you coming on here to cnn. Kate . Don, thank you. Chief, thanks for your time.

You were waiting for Tiffany Mitchell, she was coming to, you work with her. Yes. Reporter she was pulling up. Reporter you guys were going to work together. She was witnessing it from her car. You were witnessing it from your balcony in the same apartment complex. Tell us what you saw. From the beginning i saw the initial screeching of tires, i then looked out the window while Tiffany Mitchell was calling me. I looked to the keep of the police swerving on the two young men, dorian was out of the picture at this time but they were mainly concerned with michael, he was doing some kind of reaching and pulling, hassling through the windows and i then heard gunshots fired. Reporter did it look like a struggle for a gun to you . You said it looks like initially you said like arm wrestling sort of. Sort of, it didnt look like at all a struggle for a gun. It just appeared to be the Police Officer trying to manipulate the young man into his vehicle. Reporter trying to pull him in. Yes. Reporter and he was trying to rest his arm away in your opinion . Yes, he was trying to get away as best as he can. It didnt look like he was retaliating. It looked like he was trying to flee. Reporter what happened after that . They struggle and then Michael Brown finally gets free and what happened . A couple gunshots were fired before Michael Brown got free, so the gunshots were aimed just wherever they hit, i guess a couple of them hit him, one did hit my building on the opposite side of me, so as they got out of the car i turned around, grabbed my purse, my belongings went back to the window in the living room where i saw the officer chasing michael down the street while Dorian Johnson was trying to, you know, hide, kind of get away, so im witnessing dorian ducking out from the police as hes running shooting, and as the police approached michael maybe not more than three feet away, he then shot again. Michael then turned around almost in awe, like how he had just gotten shot that many times so he looked down and he tried to put his arms up, and once he put his arms up, the police shot his face and his chest and he just went down. Reporter so he shot him after he put his arms up . Yes, sir. Reporter and then he fell to the ground. Yes. Reporter there was concern about how he laid out there, we have new video in to cnn that shows Michael Browns body on the ground. How long did he lay out there uncovered . Oh, for the original time he laid out there until the tape was clipped, that was 15 minutes, after he even got shot and about 20 minutes later the officer finally came and put a white sheet over his body, not even on the top of his head but over the body. Reporter how long was it before his uncle showed up . Theres video of his uncle showing up on the scene trying to get to his nephews body, and then police scurrying him away. That was around five minutes prior to him, sorry, after him being shot. So about five minutes his uncle and everybody else started to gather around. They immediately started putting yellow tape around my building so it was pretty much about five minutes afterwards. Reporter i walked through the neighborhood yesterday and if youre looking at this across the country you think this is a terrible neighborhood, a bad neighborhood but people i spoke to said there is Police Activity there, but nothing like this ever happens. What kind of neighborhood is it . Well, i honestly just moved there july 1st so i never knew all of these occurrences happened within my first time of movement away from my mothers apartment but otherwise, i did feel comfortable with the Ferguson Police department presence, because i did hear about things that happen in my community such as, you know, breakins, things of that nature, and the Ferguson Police department usually just does a stroll through couple times a day, so i actually feel safe somewhat. Reporter this was way out of the ordinary . Yes, sir. Reporter and at no time before, at any time did you witness Michael Brown with a gun or do arian with a gun . Did they appear to be armed at all . No, sir. Because when they were running, they werent reaching for anything. It seemed like he was running for his life and got shot and turned around, still didnt try to reach for anything, he put his hands into the air, being compliant, and still got shot down like a dog. Reporter moving forward, what do you think happens with this community now . Well, i think were coming together much better now. There are protests peaceful, positive protests outside my apartment. I uploaded a video last night of what really goes on in ferguson when the Police Presence are not there. There are people setting up tents, handing out free water, free sandwiches. There are Community Leaders coming out cleaning our streets, because of the looting and rioting, like theyre actually trying to turn this around and i actually believe that outsiders, along with fergusons, are the ones looting. Reporter we want to thank both of you. You didnt get to speak but wanted to be here to make sure she didnt get herself into a trouble or incriminate or make conflicting statements so thank you, piaget and we thank you as well. Back to you in new york. Don, thank you so much.

The name of the Police Officer who shot Michael Brown is about to become public at the top of the hour and with that no doubt the scrutiny will continue around the ferguson case and intensify. Two versions of the truth are emerging, if you will, the Police Version and the eyewitness version. They seem to be divergent at least at this point. How should this investigation proceed . How will it proceed . Joining us to discuss is sunny hostin, cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor as well as mark geragos, cnn legal analyst and defense attorney. Its opposite today. Normally sunny is here and sunny is away. Today mark is here and sunny is away. Mark first you. The name of the officer is going to be released. What does this change . I dont know what it actually changes. What is so outrageous is they havent released it. Is there any reason theres no reason. This idea we asked him this morning. They tell you officer safety. Day by day decision. I wanted to know what is the difference today than it was yesterday. Well what i want to know is what is the difference between a civilian and Law Enforcement . If you are somebody who is under suspicion for a crime, theyll go out there, theyll tell the media this person is a person of interest. If the public has any information, please let us know. Cnn has a show the hunt john walsh has made a career out of that, yet somehow this officer is verboten, you cant get his name out there, and i think it actually gives people an impetus to protest and think that theres something, that theres a coverup. What if this . Sters got a history of Police Brutality . What if this officer has a history that the public can inform this investigation . Why is it that hes different than anybody else. If he doesnt, the fact is no one can know unless the name is released. Sunny on the basic level, what else should be public that you dont think is, when it comes to this case . Well, i think mark is absolutely right, and i never wow. Say that. I know. I almost spilled my coffee there, stop right now. Maybe sunny was drinking last night. Maybe because im on vacation and in a better mood. The officers name should have been released as mark said oftentimes one, two, three days after an investigation has begun, the name of the suspect is generally released, the name of the target of the investigation is generally released and the fact that the officers name has not been released i think is certainly lending to this narrative that there is a coverup, and that this investigation is less than transparent, and so i think that type of information certainly should have been released. I also think in terms of how other things that havent been released in terms of how many times was Michael Brown shot . How many eyewitnesses are there . What type of video is there that people havent seen. Sunny, dont you think so many components of the investigation havent been released. Dont you think that the fact that his friend, who was with him, the fact he wasnt interviewed, and hes on tv before hes are been interviewed just exacerbates everything about this case and makes it look like its occupation there in that city . No question about it. Its really, really odd and ive been saying this from the very beginning. This is not a complicated case. This is not a whodunit. There was an altercation between a Police Officer and Michael Brown so to suggest this is going to be a painstakingly long investigation, a very complex investigation, it just isnt. You interview the Police Officer, you interview Dorian Johnson, you interview anyone else that has been an eyewitness, and you get this case to the grand jury. I really dont understand why that hasnt happened. You ought to send her on vacation more often. I have never agreed with her more. Its interesting when you guys arent fighting with each other. Im having a hard time dealing with this. She needs to spend more quality time with her husband. I asked the police chief this morning about the question of how many times was Michael Brown shot, and he said i cannot tell you, i cannot tell you things i do not know. He said that immediately when this happened, he called in the county and said the county should be handling this. Shouldnt the autopsys been done. Is that a good enough answer, because my question to him was, youre also facing not only transparency question is large, but the question that theres a selective release of information. Well, and you hit the nail on the head as they say. He came out the very first day, do you remember, and did that press conference and he put out the narrative that was obviously fed to him by the officer. By the officer. And then he waits three or four days and he starts saying okay, i want to be a little bit, im going to be demure about this and not going to give you the information. Im going to predict this guy is going to go on disability and then retire very quickly. His job security is nil. He has handled this the worst way that you could. Ive had, i cant tell you how many cases similar to this where they dont survive when they play this game, and hes playing a game that he cant win. This idea that he cant tell the public how many times the young man was shot. He cant tell you whether he was shot in the back, which is important. He cant tell you that is important. Mark . Yes, sunny in. Mark, i think something thats important to note, though, is that the Ferguson Police department did relinquish this investigation to the st. Louis county officers. I think thats important. Its sort of right out of the zimmerman playbook now. What does it tell you . Well tried to say i think thats important because they cant investigate their own and they should not but let me also say this. I think that people now have sort of lost confidence in the st. Louis Police Department county doing this investigation, and thats why were seeing the head of the Criminal Division of the department of justices Civil Rights Division there. Thats why were seeing the fbi. I think probably taking over this investigation and so the public has lost confidence even now in the st. Louis county Police Department. Sunny, the outrageous thing was i think that if hes going to lateral the investigation over to the county and knows that they cant investigate their own, dont go out there in the first news cycle and start putting out the story of the officer and basically not interview anybody else and adopt that and put it out into the news cycle as the official position, and then say okay, now were not going to investigate. I just think they get what they deserve there in a lot of ways. We can agree on that. One thing we do know, there was calm for really the first time last night. That is at least allowing for the focus now to be squarely on this investigation, botched or not, under way, and that now people can start getting some answers. Mark, sunny, thanks so much. Sunny, enjoy vacation. It is vacation for you when you get to talk to mark, i know it is. See you guys soon. It was just made official, we should tell you this is an Important Note there will be a Police Press Conference at 9 00 a. M. Eastern today. Cnn listen bring you that live, we expect of course that is when the identity of the Police Officer involved will be released. Coming up next on new day, a dinosaur named sue, the story of the largest and most complete trex skeleton ever found and the years long legal battle over here. Well talk to the director of a new documentary about sue, its fascinating. Well be right back. Me get thi. [ female voice ] yes . Lactaid® is 100 real milk . Right. Real milk. But it wont cause me discomfort. Exactly, because its milk without the lactose. And it tastes . Its real milk come on, would i lie about this . [ female announcer ] lactaid. 100 real milk. No discomfort. Come on, would i lie about this . Moderate to severe is tough, but ive managed. I got to be pretty good at managing my symptoms, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. When i finally told my doctor, he said my crohns was not under control. He said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. He called up and said neil i need you to bring a lot of plaster and twobyfours. I got up there with the materials and he took me over to this big cliff, and he said, take a look. I looked at it and i looked at him, i said is that trex . He said, yes. And i think its all here. That was a scene from dinosaur 13 open on theaters and digital hd today. It tells the story of the largest most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton found in the summer of 1990. Thered been only 12 others found before sue, thats what they nicknamed after the paleontologist who found it. The trex became the object of a fierce tenyear battle over who owned it. Joined is the director of the film dinosaur 13 todd miller. Great job. Thanks so much. A labor of love. We spent about three years making it, just me and another guy or about the first two years and brought on our music composer, matt. And music does play a big part in this. Sue is quite a lady. Im not sure if we determined she is female but the idea of sue weve fallen in love with her. Thats what i wanted to talk about this film, what drew you to this story . Its a little bit of david and goliath, a little bit of a love story. Obviously you have an affinity for the world of science, but what was it that drew you to the story . I read the book that we base the film on rex appeal written by paleontologist peter larson. I loved it. It was a moving, sweeping visual epic to me, so in fact we wanted to make the film more of a docudrama, get first person interviews from everybody that was involved and go back and shoot the entire thing with actors and reenact all the scenes, and then they started handing us footage, not only them but other people that were involved that hadnt told the story for sometimes 20 years. So shoe boxes were getting released from closets and full of photos, and vhs tapes were dusted off and dpicgiven to us. It was the 90s but made it look like it was in the 1890s, the footage is so old it makes you a little humble. The beginning discovery of such a big discovery because its the most intact trex dinosaur found in a small town in south dakota. Right outside of faith, south dakota, in the hell creek formation which is Tyrannosaurus Rex lived only in western u. S. North america. They found the trex in 1990, got it back to their institute and started preparing the fossil and cut to 1992, the fbi nightmare sets in. Along with nine different Government Agencies and the National Guard raided the institute, seized it on behalf of the u. S. Government. That led to a few years of a custody battle, there was four claimants which led to the largest criminal trial in south dakotas history which led to an auction, led to other things i dont want to give away. You want you to put your seat in the theater. Lives were changed by this discovery, and not necessarily in the way that i think people would have thought at the outset. Yes, i think everyone, you know, even today, people are still coming to terms with particularly in the town of hill city, south dakota, where a lot of the events in the film take place, and theyre just now kind of getting closure to it. I hope that the film has helped that in some way but its also given a vehicle for others to tell their story, too, that were involved in everything let me ask you about that town because it rallied and future keep sue. They felt she was a part of their community. Is the spirit of sue still alive in that town . Yes, absolutely. Theres always hope, theres always hope that, you know, i think that even a part of sue might make it back to hill city, and again i hope that the film could in some way inspire some action to make that happen. Im sure its not lost on you the state of education, the importance of s. T. E. M. , science, technology, engineering and math, im hoping this might plant a seed in some budding paleontologist mind. It showcases the work the paleontologists do, learning about the history of past life on the planet is so important and if we can get people excited about going out and digging dinosaurs and getting out there and giving people the freedom to donate money to science education, i would be happy. Its a great film. When i was 7, i wanted to be a paleontologist, look what i ended up, im talking to you. Dinosaur 13 is in theaters today. Watch it here on cnn later this year, trust me youll enjoy it immensely. Thank you for your time. Next up on new day in just a few minutes time well hear from police who are scheduled to hold a police conference.
