Out for the first time, about him as a troubled man. This is an emotionally troubled kid. He needed help, he didnt get it. The loo family expressing gratitude to the Police Department and the public for their support. This is the difficult time for both of our families. But we will stand together and get through this together. Thank you. We are learning new details of the investigation, officers say they are looking through brinslys cell phone, and found thousands of images, one of them images of the protests in new york earlier this month. There are continued calls from city officials asking demonstrators not to protest until the office remembers laid to rest. Weve seen social media reports of plans of demonstrators planning to demonstrate. Milwaukee is bracing for protests after a cop killed a mentally ill man and will not face charges. Officer Christopher Manny shot dontre. Hamilton got hold of the officers baton and hit him with it officer manny was later fired from the force, not for shooting, but how he handled the man who was known to be mentally ill before the altercation took place. Were getting our first look at dash cam video following the shooting, the feds are opening an investigation into this case. Lets get to George Howell on the ground in miami. George, what do we know . Chris, good morning, important to talk about timing, this decision playing out around the same time, as events in new york and protesters talking about it. They say that murder and violence is never condoned. And they say it shouldnt be accepted in this case, either. The frustrated mother of the victim says she is not surprised by that decision. Outrage on the streets of milwaukee. After the d. A. Announced a former city Police Officer, Christopher Manny, would not face charges in the shooting death of a mentally ill suspect, dontre hamilton, back in april. His use of force was privileged and was justified. Manny says hamilton resisted a patdown, the two exchanged punches before according to manny hamilton started hitting him with his own baton. I dont even know if i was hit. I need an officer to help me. This newly released audio captures man ney, he started beating me. The officer shot hamilton 14 times. Shots fired, shots fired. Officer involved. Manney has been fired for not following proper protocol, but now face those charges. I think he exercised extraordinarily bad judgment that day. That basically put him in a position where he had, had no alternative but to use deadly force. Manney is the same officer seen in this bizarre cell phone video in 2012, manney seen throwing punches at a local activist dressed as a clown. Police say the clown was darting in and out of traffic, going up to cars with a squirt gun and that he resisted arrest in an exclusive interview with cnn, the victims mother said that hes an overzealous cop who got away with murder. No mother should murder their child to something this tragic. Important to point out the video of the officer wrestling with the clown. The clown is well known in milwaukee. The family said they question the officers judgment and how they handle suspect and the confidence in the decision coming from the d. A. We want to talk more about this, lets bring in cedric alexander, president of the National Organization of black Law Enforcement executives and chief operating officer of Public Safety for Dekalb County and president of president obamas task force on 21st century policing. We want to start with this milwaukee case, chris, i want to start with you, the investigators determined that this Police Officer had to use deadly force, it was justified because he himself was under attack with his own baton. That daontre hamilton had gotte away from him. Why are people so outraged today . The scope of the criminal investigation was limited really to about 30 seconds worth of the encounter. If you expand the timeframe and look at the whole encounter, this Critical Incident really is evidence of bad judgment on the part of the officer and perhaps a lack of supervision from the department itself. This could have been prevented if the officer had approached the subject, mr. Hamilton, in a better way in a less aggressive way. Because earlier in that morning, twice, other officers had come to the park and determined that mr. Hamilton was doing nothing wrong, was disturbing no one. He was lying on a park bench as we understand and his eyes were open. I believe and his leg was shaking. The Police Officers approached him. Found he was doing nothing wrong. But when this officer came up he tried to pat him down to see if he had a weapon, and thats when a physical altercation ensued. For the first time in this case in wis, because of a new law, an outside investigative body, not the local d. A. s office, an outside investigative body, the division of criminal investigation looked at this and determined that no charges should be filed against the officer. Thats what people around the country have been calling for. Certainly in the eric garner case and ferguson case, they wanted an outside body. Hooer they got that and determined that no charges should be filed against the officer. Thats not true. The investigation under the new law was handled by the Wisconsin Department of justice, division of criminal investigations. They gave a report to the District Attorney, to attorney, District Attorney chisholm. Who contacted other experts, local expert and a national expert, and got their information and their opinions as well. So, but the call was still up to the District Attorney. The same District Attorney who works on a daily basis with police in milwaukee. So while the nature of the investigation was changed a little bit. In fact mostly what happened, it was lengthened, the decision was still made by somebody who works with the police every day. Okay. Fair enough. Cedric, i want to bring in you. At first blush, it feels as though here we go again this is another black man, shot more than a dozen times by this white officer. But there are important distinctions, how do you see, do you see this as more of the same . Or do you see this as an unfortunate Police Shooting . That happens sometimes. Particularly when police feel that they are being physically threatened. You know, heres part of the problem, alisyn. You have to look at each one of these cases in recent months, very lid i. You cant put them all in the same place. Even though some of the dynamics seem very similar to each other. And i think thats whats creating a great deal of concern for people across this country. But heres the problem as i see it. Is that there is a lack of trust within the criminal Justice System. And that is something that we keep hearing from protesters across the country. And i think its something that we really have to play very, very close attention to. Police officers have a difficult job. They do the best that they can in a moment that theyre given. And when you start adding in other variables, sometimes that can and cannot be accounted for, it becomes very difficult. If you will to assess what went on until a full investigation is conducted. Thats the piece that has to be fixed. Isnt there another piece that has to be fixed. The Police Officers were scared. They testified that they were scared sort of out, somehow not outgunned, but overpowered, they felt. They were afraid of the suspect. That they. In terms of how you engage because theyre going to be very difficult for a variety of reasons. We train officers, i think additional train something important. As we move forward across this country. Providing to our Police Officers, but we also have to be mindful of the fact as well, too, that each one of these situations in every situation coming forward, is going to be different, they need to be examined fairly. For that of the community to have a sense of trust. And also for the Police Officer involved as well, too. To feel like they were being supported doing the job the best that they can. And to allow a system in which people feel that they can trust work the rest out. Cedric alexander, chris ahmady, thanks for all the background. Back to chris. Word of a really interesting storevy happening at the airport. Authorities have broken up an alleged gunsmuggling ring. A Delta Airlines baggage loader spotted a former delta employee, all right there. Once his accomplice cleared tsa. The two men would meet via text message and thats how more than 100 guns were smuggled on to passenger plans during a sevenmonth period. Authorities, thank you very much for the reporting. Appreciate it. A lot of news this morning, lets get to christine roamens, in for michaela. North koreas internet trying to stay online. It was knocked online for nine hours.

Rattled nerves in france after the second car attack on pedestrians in to days. 11 people injured monday when a driver slammed into shoppers in the western city of notnans.

The 34yearold johnson was reportedly killed while trying to wrestle the weapon away from the gunman. Victim Katrina Dawson honored at a separate service, the 38yearold lawyer remembered by her husband, her children, and other loved ones. Republican congressman Michael Grimm of new york expected to plead guilty to one count of tax evasion he was indieted in on april on 20 counts of filing false tax returns, mail fraud, wire fraud, hiring undocumented workers and perjury. Grimm has long insisted he did nothing wrong. He blames politics and grudges, despite his troubles, he was just reelected to his third term in congress. No word on whether hell step down. Always tough to argue you did nothing wrong when you plead guilty. This is true. Well wait to hear what he has so say. Or if you have as many things against you as grimm did. And he famously threatened to throw a reporter off the capitol hill balcony for asking about his legal troubles last year. We remember that video. Odd words about triting him like a little boy.

We have two Major International situations on the terrorism agenda this morning. First of all there have been three attacks in france in as many days leaving dozens injured, in at least two of those cases, the attacker was screaming allahu akbar. An attacker went into a Police Station and slashed officers, french Authorities Say despite the wellknown arabic phrase, they dont see a connection to islamic terrorism. Lets bring in will get he is, a security analyst and director of International Corporate protection, whats happening in australia in the aftermath of that horrible showdown that they had there about the chatter there, increased terror alert. Lets start with france, so when you look at these three attacks and the use of that talismanic phrase why dont you see a connection to islam . The one thats only being investigated by the Domestic Intelligence agencies to any greater degree is really the attack against the Police Officers. The other two are falling into this category which were beginning to see repeated all over the place of individuals that are selfradicalized that have decided for one reason or another, to go out and perpetrate these horrific acts, in the last two cases, the individuals getting their vehicles and plowing into innocent pedestrians. The problem were seeing repeatedly is that you have individuals who are selfradicalized, deluded fantasyi fantasyists, who are deluded into believing connect the to isis. But the french authorities are saying no connection on the last two. Lets unpack the two primary issues, the first would be the growth of the islamic population in and around, in france, certainly, but in and around paris especially. Northern paris has a huge muslim enclave there that reportedly is largely unpoliced. Now what does that do to add to the mix of trouble in confronting what may come out of that community . Well france in itself a massive migrant population and certainly in terms of the islamic growth, if you like, within the country, france has got some considerable problems. Bearing in mind that theyre a Strong Partner within this coalition down in syria and iraq, the fact that they have approximately 400 or so individuals that have supposedly traveled down to syria and iraq and an unknown number who have subsequently returned, there are serious issues there. They foiled as they say, five significant plots in the last 18 months. So france is very much on the radar as is anywhere else. All right. And of course we do not want to paint all muslims with the same brush, obviously the overwhelming percentage of some 1. 2 billion muslims are nonviolent. Just like members of other major faiths but when you do have islamic radicals, they are coming out of their community. Thats the concern of addressing the population. The second prong, Mental Health. Weve just had two horrible situations, at least here, involving the nypd and in milwaukee, where mentally ill people were involved and they became destabilized and it wound up leading to great violence. You think that ma
