Of the obstruction presently in place by the u. K. , i am leaving the embassy soon. Perhaps, not for the reasons the news are saying at the moment.

When you protest hands up. Love for all of you. I want to start off by talking to Michael Browns family. My heart goes out to you. I am sorry. I wear this uniform and i should say i am sorry.

And i will see you out there. The rally was broadcast live. Inrs later, ron johnson was the streets of ferguson speaking to reporters about the Police Response to the protest. Tonight, a sunday that store with prayers and messages of , peace and justice, today a very different turn after dark. Molotov cocktails were thrown, there were shootings, limiting, vandalism and other acts of violence that clearly a prayer clearly appear not to have been spontaneous or premeditated. It was not civil disobedience, but preplanned agitation and aggression. Coordinated in many cases. Captain ron johnson speaking in the streets of ferguson. We go to st. Back, louis. Stay with us. [ ] this is democracy now i am amy goodman. To talk about what is happening in ferguson, missouri, we are joined by reverend clinton mccoy, the dr. Art first superintendent of the Florissant School district. Inserved until he resigned march. Controversyge around his leaving the position. He is an adjunct professor of education at the university of missouri. Democracy you both to now can you talk about the latest news, Governor Nixon . Ringing in the National Guard another night of mass protest, tear gassing, even were that two people were shot. It is not clear who shot them. The National Guard is never a good idea. I do not want to see soldiers on the street of america. Especially in our communities. I do not think it is a good idea, but it may be necessary at this time. The curfew was a bad idea what we need now is information, not restriction. Restricted, the more we dont have access to accurate information, the writing is going to continue. To the National Guard may be unnecessary at this point because it has deteriorated so far. To what hasack taken place in ferguson. Describe ferguson to us and when you got word of the shooting on august 9. This 18yearold teenager, Michael Brown. I got word about the shooting in one of the concerns is that once we got word of the shooting and responded to the scene, we still had a young man lying on a , that had not moved his body and that created a tense atmosphere from the beginning. Allowing him to them allowing him to lay there for hours, with his family around him, not being able to get to him. That created an atmosphere in the way things were handled in the beginning. We tried peaceful protests. With the assistant chief of police in ferguson and the chief of police in ferguson, we organized a march. We asked them to march with us. They agreed, until they heard shouts of no justice, no peace. Chief said he was afraid for his officers. It speaks to the problem that these officers are serving a community that they are afraid of and they are afraid of it because they do not understand. They have no report. They do not even understand the community. I dont know how you can police a community you are afraid of. Things have been deteriorating ever since. Night, we got calming peace, but then there was another flare out and we instituted a curfew, more restrictions, no information. We arefinally where right now. Of this is missouri governor jay nixon speaking about why he imposed a curfew. We want justice. Distracted. We must be focused. We must make sure people are allowed their First Amendment rights, but we do so in a peaceful fashion. Looting, crime and nine. We cant have people fearful. Police officers killing people. He was interrupted by people indictment ofthe the Police Officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. He called for peace, saying justice comes after that. In our community, there seems to be a reversal. When there is probable cause and it involves us, there is andrally, there is a rest then an investigation. Them, there iss investigation before the arrest. Even when there is probable cause. Justice. Mply wanting we want the Legal Process to take place. The officer, based on statements, should be arrested. Investigation, we will see how the investigation turns out. He may beinnocent, guilty. We do not know yet. Based on the reports we have heard so far, there is no doubt in my mind that this officer should be arrested. That is why we have been calling on the county prosecutor to do their job. Stop being afraid to do your job. He has given it to a grand jury for indictment, but lets be clear. To bringe power charges himself. We are calling on him to bring charges or, just get out of the way. Prosecutorspecial willing to do their job. Clicks can you explain that . You are saying he does not have to impanel a grand jury. Explain who he is. He is the county prosecutor. With probable cause in any case, he can bring charges based on having enough evidence and probable cause. He has chosen not to. He is afraid to get involved. Prosecutorss have a close relationship with the police force, but it seems like it is hindering them from doing their job. He has allocated it off to a grand jury. There is nothing wrong with that. That is a longer process. As this drags out longer and longer, we will get more protest. People will get more frustrated because theyre looking for information. The thing that sparked the whole thing, lets be clear. The release of the video of Michael Brown at the same time they released the name of the officer. We are victimizing the victim. If that was Michael Brown on the video, the penalty for theft is still not death that america. We call it armed robbery. What i saw was shoplifting. I am a father. My children went in a store and took some candy, i thank god they did not suffer the penalty of death for taking some candy. Should Michael Brown suffer the penalty of death for taking some cigars, if you took them at all. Jefferson omas Thomas JeffersonThomas Jackson speaking after he was repeatedly asked by reporters of why he released video of the shoplifting if that was not related to why he was first stopped by darren wilson, the Police Officer who shot and killed him. I released the video tape to you because i had to. In a request for a. Why did it have to be today. If i just released the tape and not the officers name, there would be similar questions. The murder and the robbery did not come together. Why did the video come out when it is not related to it . Because the press asked for it. With the stop, why would you release the video of the robbery. You asked for it. I held it as long as i could. First of all, he needs to resign. He does not have command over his people. He has no rapport with the community. It is time for him to step aside. When you listen, he said he released the video because the press asked for. The press has also asked for justice and asking for autopsy reports in the Police Reports of what happened on that scene. He has not released any of that. How do you pick and choose and life for a depresses lot of stuff. That is the only thing you released. How did you come to that decision . Inlost our confidence multiple occasions. We have lost all confidence in him. As you see, it makes it gives the appearance of a coverup. We have had enough. We are tired of our young men dying in the streets of america. We have had enough of chief jackson. We have seen too many of them. Achael brown was just bubbling point. This has been going on for a long time. Part of the issue is ours. It is not all ferguson. We have to organize to begin to go. Thean control who sits in mayors office. We can control that when there is a city of 70 of africanamericans that we do not have anyone in power that looks like us. We can control that and we control that through our voting. We do take that responsibility and we are getting ready to organize and get people registered to vote and get them to the polls. Chief jackson has got to go. Many issues are coming to the surface right now. You have a police force and the , 50 of them are white. This is in the city. 20. 7 ck, 28 point white. Six of seven School Board Members are white. The firsts us to superintendent of the fergusonflora sent Florissant School district, who left after a lot of controversy. Clicks i was the first superintendentn and the youngest superintendent in the area. I have been in the School District for six years and theed very closely with officials in the city of ferguson as well as other surroundings. The bottomline is, there is not equal proportion of representation of leaders to those who they are leaving. Leading. And even a totally different standpoint on how things should occur and be governed, i think a lot of what we see occurring as manyult of too individuals being guided by a narrow view of what should be done and how people wish to be served. As a School Official and superintendent, am part of my goal was to bring equity to the region by making sure there was adequate representation of prince roles of principals and teachers to make strides in that area. I was proud to be a recipient of harvards pathway to prosperity grant. Skills soobtraining students could earn the skills as well as receive jobs. Of resources for jobs and representation. All of that helps to give voice nothat individuals mean and to some individuals, but all in the visuals. In my situation, there were over to0 people who assembled voice their displeasure. 10 voter turnout of who elected who should be in the seats such as city councilman and so forth. Is a strong, emotional card that has been schrock anytime someone that looks like iu, sounds like you, but think riots is the language of and protest is the speech act of a democracy. Do not blame those for voicing their opinions, but i think we need people on the ground that represent all people and not just by words, but by actions, deed, by actions, by by intent. The other factor here that i might have to know is there are some people who want Everyone Wants justice. Ase people wants justice equal action. There are some people who want justice as incrimination, to put someone in jail and take the freedom away. We have been in a situation of less freedom and less opportunity. The bottom line bottom line, i think it is time for all voices to be honored at all levels and have apresentation to common understanding of what justices and how to proceed in the right manner. Like when you had thousands of people attending the festering sense that they could not turn around your being pushed out, although you resigned, many talk about it as you being fired. It was important to make sure in all that i do, that i bridged gaps and be someone who is a Bridge Builder and someone who does not contribute to a festering civil war. Mygoal and part of responsibility was to make a determination as to whether to file a lawsuit or to go through in totions of the naacp move in that direction. That i amortant to me invested in the community. That no one can send me away from the community. I still lead in the region and the area, but in a different capacity. Bottom line is, for six months,here were waiting periods discussion periods, some protesting, and students who chose to make signs and step out of classrooms and asked me whether to march or not. School has been canceled again. Or a least a third day other School Districts have canceled school in light of the National Guard and other situations. It is a constitutional right within the state of missouri to have a free and Public Education and these rights are being delayed and hampered, denied because of the civil unrest and the lack of safety and the lack of togetherness by adults and the treatment of our youth. It is unacceptable for anyone to in the daylight and, in my pinion, not in daylight, for any reason minus attempting to kill someone in the action. Will trym line is many to make connections to my situations. This because i try not to echo other peoples sentiments. I want to give my condolences to Michael Brown, senior, and his wife because of the lost of a child. I extended my condolences and gave them money to support their wellbeing. Mourn withtant to those who mourn. It was my goal to absorbers to absorb that and rise above from the hatred i had from attacking me. Theael junior does not have opportunity to display that for himself. Mean theto us and i white us, the black us, and anything between, to say we , this country,e this world better. Have lost over seven and one school year. I spoke to every parent. Teachers in the community prayed and gave money to the efforts of those losses. Hat is my focus as the superintendent of the schools, i viewed myself as a father to 13,000 students. That ive in a way met the needs of each child as if i were their parent because i have the Legal Authority of a localkaren says a of ates, which is in place parent. Everyone makes mistakes. He has made some actions people view as a mistake. His heart was in the right place. Him may not have had the same sentiment. A heart condition is different than a head condition. You take what is in your heart and you acted out through your thoughts. The timing of the release of data was awful. It incited more anger and frustration. The actions by the hand, you march with those who march at the beginning, but stopped because of fear for life. Everyone in that region, and i have family that live three blocks from ground zero, their threat of life is there every day. Everyones life is at stake. We have to break from moment. We will bring in some other people. Me six or seven of the School Board Members were white or all of them why . At the time i was there, all of them were of caucasian descent. Cil isend clinton stanse with us as well. Stay with us. [ ] i am amy goodwin. As we continue to look at the situation in missouri, we are joined by the director of Amnesty International, usa. They have never deployed observers inside of the United States. Joined by stephen hawkins, who has also worked as an attorney with the naacp Legal Defense fund. Welcome to democracy now its Commission Point now lcome to democracy is a human rights crisis that is escalating. We send observers down because there was a need for human rights observers. Are violations of International Human rights law and standards in terms of how the policing is being done. For example, we have issued on how to gases supposed to be administered. We also went down to make sure that the citizens and ferguson understood the eyes of the world the eyes of the world are watching. Curfew . Sense of the do you support it or are you troubled by a . We have criticized regimes around the world for imposing curfews and states of emergency in response to peaceful protest. Beew looting incidents would the response of a curfew was disproportionate to what the police were facing. The reasonome you do not respond in that fashion is exactly what we are seeing now. It is causing an escalation of the conflict. Road, we are the florissant. T about dred scott is buried there. He sued in a st. Louis court for his freedom. The case went to the Supreme Court, resulting in a Landmark Supreme Court decision called the worst ever. The court ruled africanamericans were not citizens of the United States and therefore had no rights to sue in federal court. Beingsere described as of an inferior order and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. It is considered the worst decision in the history of the Supreme Court. The 72 decision. The chief justice was a slave owner. A number of them more. We are joined by Kimberly Crenshaw. Thank you for joining us. Talk about the significance of dred scotts body lying down the road, the road we have heard so much about as the protest continued to escalate. When the Supreme Court was trying to decide whether africanamericans could be citizens, what they consider was the way africanamericans were treated. They were not looking at formal. Aw the override deal the overall idea is they were not seen as having the same social worth as white americans. They could be enslaved for their own good. The possibility of their enslaved ability meant that, as far as the founders were concerned, they were going to be a stateless people. ,hat would have been the case had the case knowledge to a civil war. The second thing that is the only resident now is that the Supreme Court was trying to resolve a slavery issue once and slavery,y reinforcing by saying if you are white and your own slaves, you can do and travel and move anywhere you want with a slave because the constitution protects you. They were trying to end it. It is quite similar to the way the Supreme Court is trying to and all agitation around civil rights, trying to and all agitation about integrating police departments. One of the reason the Ferguson Police department looks the way it does is because the Supreme Court has rolled back on , votingrimination law rights. Constitution in the way the dred scott case tried to. That is why dred scott is still relevant, even though it is overturned. Professorncerns, crenshaw . I have concerns it seems as though the only thing that away from history was uprising. One was the civil war and the next thing was the Civil Rights Movement. What would we think happened if there was a Civil Rights Movement now, with the weapons of mass to instruction that . Ocal officers have we might not have had a Civil Rights Movement. If we had it, it would have been shortlived. This is why we need the president to be more aggressive, not just in trying to make both sides happy. No president can make both sides happy. These are matters that have to be taken up at the federal level, the legal level. Those do not involve just asking for theret better or to be mentors. Theres only so much you can do holding up your hands. This is the end of post racialism, but is it the beginning of Something Else . You are recently speaking at a church in missouri that was founded by freed slaves that was celebrating Something Like a 150th anniversary. This issue of dred scott being buried down the road . D professor framed it well. The dred scott decision was a bad decision. It would have been a bad decision that would have thank god it did not go unchallenged. It caused an uprising. What moved public debate was the uprising. We can begin to openly discuss race, openly discuss the lack of diversity, not only in ferguson, but when we look in other municipalities throughout the state of missouri, we see the same thing occurring. There has been a cutback. Been an attack on affirmative action. We areing beginning to experience the results of that. It shows great parallel. We are going to have to leave it there. Clintono thank reverend superintendent arne mccoy, for faster Kimberly Crenshaw and stephen hawkins. Democracy now is looking for feedback from people who appreciate the closed captioning.
