The officer who shot robinson is now on leave. Dean reynolds is in madison where state officials are investigating friday nights killing. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning. A memorial has been set up here on the street in honor of Tony Robinson, and so far the public here has followed the call by the police for calm but emotions are still raw. Whats his name . All Tony Robinson reporter hundreds responded sunday night to Tony Robinsons death friday with a peaceful prayer vigil remembering the teen just steps from where he was fatally gunned down. Know that tony was one of the best people i knew. Reporter robinson died after an alleged altercation with veteran Police Officer matt kenney. Apparently tony hit one of his friends, no weapon seen.

Can you tell me how many times mr. Robinson was shot . I know multiple times. Reporter robinson did have a conviction for armed robbery, his mother insisted her son was a gentle person. My son has never been a violent person. Never. And to die in such a violent, violent way is it baffles me. Reporter did you have ferguson in the back of your mind . Yes. One, we had a person of color, a young man, who was killed by the police, and secondly that he was unarmed. So to that extent yes. I did have a ferguson moment. Reporter but unlike missouri where vile the protests and looting carried on for weeks, so far madison appears to be coping with this tragedy in its own way. Dont pass judgment. The facts will come out. Reporter at the fountain of Life Covenant Church black men young and old sat down to talk about how to move forward. I think one ferguson is enough. I dont know why anyone would want another one. I dont think people are seeing the signs of another ferguson. Reporter reverend g. Is one addressing the issue of racial inequality in the criminal Justice System here in madison where the state department of justice is handling this investigation, and not the local police. Thanks. President obama tells cbs news he knew nothing about Hillary Clinton using private email for government business until the story broke last week. Im glad that hillary is instructed that those emails that had to do with official business need to be disclosed. Clinton appears in new york city. Her only comment so far on the email story is a 26word twitter message. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where lawmakers want answers. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Some of clintons allies here on capitol hill including one prominent california democrat are starting to say that her silence could end up hurting her more than the initial revelation. And they say its putting the white house, the state Department Eastern the president in the awkward position of defending her when she wont defend herself. Reporter in miami this weekend, Chelsea Clinton was asked about her mothers private emails. As her daughter we email about things like thanksgiving dinner, and our plans to watch a movie on friday night. So in terms of her official emails youll have to ask her. Reporter so far no one has been able to ask her. The silence is going to hurt her. Reporter california senator Dianne Feinstein is a friend of clintons and a fellow democrat. I think that she needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is. Reporter 300 of clintons emails have already been turned over to the republicanled House Committee investigating the 2012 benghazi attacks. But on face the Nation Committee chair trey gowdy suspects somethings missing. There are gaps of months and months and months. If you hi to that iconic picture of her hon a c17 flying to libya, sunglasses on and a handheld device in her hand we have no emails from that day. In fact, we have no emails from that trip. Reporter democrats note that trip came nearly a year before the benghazi attacks, and that clinton went to tripoli, not benghazi. She completely complied with the law. Different secretary of states have made different choices. Colin powell i think did it similar to her. Reporter powell himself said he also used private email, unlike clinton, he didnt save any messages. I did not print them off do not have thousands of pages somewhere in my personal files. Reporter we still dont know whether clinton actually spent a lot of time writing emails as opposed to just reading them. South Carolina Republican senator Lindsey Graham for example, said this weekend he has never sent a single email. That is not all that uncommon charlie, for more senior members here on capitol hill. Nancy, thanks. The email story is an issue in early president s states like iowa. Cbs news political director John Dickerson spent the weekend there talking with Party Leaders and voters. This morning he is back in washington. Good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie. Why the silence and how much is it hurting . Reporter well, its hurting, because in the silence theres nothing but bad news. Theres stories of gaps in emails. Theres democrats coming out and saying Hillary Clinton should talk. So just for the coming hillary campaign, its news that they dont have control over. And, also it gets in the way of that campaign. Usually you try to put out fires before a campaign so can you have a clean launch. You dont set fires on the launch pad. Finally, the news the original response from the clinton spokespeople, that she complied with the spirit and letter of the law at the time. Reports have come out neither the letter nor the spirit was followed. There needs to be something to replace the bad news. Whos giving her advice to stay silent and why is she staying silent. Reporter well, the reason you stay silent in this case is that the thinking is that the story, once you get into a transparency fight you can neveren transparent enough. So the story perhaps goes away. And you know, the press moves on because it has a white hott interest in stories and gets a new fascination and also by the way, theres no a Campaign Even though theyre preparing for one, theres not a Campaign Structure. Unless she, or if she did a sitdown interviewer youd need a Campaign Structure behind it to field the stories that would then grow out of that. Senator schumer says this is going to be a hiccup as time goes on. Do you think thats true . Reporter well if a campaign is launched and has a message, and the Campaign Begins then perhaps thats true. I think the fact theres investigators out there and now you have democrats saying that there are legitimate questions being raised it does give this the chance to live on. And then we never know whats in those actual emails once those get out. Then everybody will be reacting to the actual content. You were in iowa. Jeb bush was also in iowa. How did he do . Well it was his first trip to iowa. He made it clear hed been there before. He was wellreceived. Hes got some skepticism among conservatives in iowa but from that first visit, it looks like hes going to play heavily in iowa, and thats thats interesting and well see him go back to the state a lot more. Thank you, John Dickerson. The chairman of the joint chiefs will visit iraq this morning. General Martin Dempsey was aboard a french air carrier in the persian gulf. Holly williams with some of the problems iraq faces trying to fise isis. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning, as the battle for the city of tikrit enters its second week general dempsey warned against sending more american troops to iraq. Now, there are already more than 2,500 u. S. Military advisers and trainers in iraq but general dempsey said theyre work is hindered because some iraqi units dont show up. Or arrive without proper equipment. Iraqi forces have managed to cut off supplies to isis fighters inside tikrit, according to iraqs military. This is the biggest ground offensive against isis since the militant s militants came across iraq last year. Officials here say nearly 30,000 men are trying to encircle tikrit a patched together army of government soldiers local tribesmen and shiite muslim militias. General dempseys visit to the french Aircraft Carrier seen here yesterday alongside the uss carl vinson comes amidst fears in the u. S. About irans rising influence here in iraq. These images show an iranian general whos reportedly commanding at least some of the iraqi forces around tikrit. Though iran claims its troops here are only military advisers. The u. S. Military is playing no direct role in the battle for tikrit, but if iraqi forces can retake the city it will secure a supply route north opening the door to eastern bigven bigger operations including the recapture of mosul, iraqs section largest city with the extremists seized in june. General dempsey called for stra strategic patience adding air strikes would risk many for civilian casualties apart from the human costs would play into the hand of isis and its propaganda machine. Charlie . Thanks. In russia this morning, five suspects in custody for the murder of kremlin critic boris nemtsov. The men appeared in a court sunday. Several covered faces while held in metal cages. All five of ethnic chechens. A judge says one confessed, a sixth blew himself on saturday during a confrontation with police. A weeklong march begins in selma, alabama, reenactenenacting the march in 1965. Thousands came to selma over the weekend to mark the 50th anniversary of a notorious attack on peaceful protesters. Bill plante reported from there half a century ago and he spoke with president obama over the weekend. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning. What happened here in selma 50 years ago was a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement and thousands turned out to remember those events that forever changed the power balance of the american south. Keep on walking reporter people streamed across the Edmund Pettus bridge many with children they hoped would learn from history. When police gassed and beat unresistant marchers on what became known at bloody sunday john lewis, then a 25yearold civil rights worker was at the head of the line. If someone had told me that we were crossing this bridge that one day i would be back here introducing the first africanamerican president i would have said youre crazy. Youre out of your mind. Reporter the fruits of the Civil Rights Movement was proof of the nations ability to change. What greater form of patriotism is there than the belief that america is not yet finished. That it is in our power to remake this nigs more closely align with our highest ideals. Reporter then the president joined by his family marched arm in arm over the bridge with john lewis and 103yearold amelia boynton, another of those injured 50 years ago, and a cbs news poll shows that 52 of americans say Race Relations in the u. S. Are generally good. But only 32 of blacks hold that view. Mr. President why is there such a disparity in the way blacks and whites see Race Relations . Well, theres been obviously a different experience of Race Relations in this country. And weve made great progress, and the country is undeniably better off for it but whats also true is that weve got more work to do. Reporter in his speech here at selma, the president said that the Voting Rights act had been weakened by its Supreme Court decision which removes some of the requirements on states, and he urged the more than 90 members of congress who were here with him to restore and broaden those voting protections. All right, bill plante, i wauchtd watched coverage all weekend. So moving. George and laura bush there, too. Good to see hem walking hand in hand.
