Msnbcs tremaine lee is live in ferguson. It is raining where you are. Whats going on today and what are protesters believing they accomplished over the weekend . Reporter as you mentioned, you see behind me the winds are whipping up, rain is coming down and appropriately demonstrators in the water a few minutes ago. They expect this event to anchor a full day of civil disobedience across the city. Folks are, you know, still steadfast. Clergy are asking folks to stay out for at least four hours, the time Michael Browns body laid out in the street. Are the protesters articulating a set of distinct demandses . We know people have been calling for the arrest of Darren Wilson. There is this grand jury process taking place. Are there specific demands beyond that protesters are making . Reporter their demands encapsulate just that. Justice for supporters of Michael Browns family and Michael Browns family itself would be an arrest of Darren Wilson. Now, i spoke with Michael Browns father yesterday and he spoke of stepping out and being strong for all the supporters who have come out en masse and in droves to support his familys cause. Lets listen. Theres a whole lot on my back now. Its a situation where im im not going to never heal on the inside, you know. I can get by maybe day by day. You can look and see, probably think im doing okay and im really not, but its just something i have to work on. We have a lot of support and i have to be strong for other people, too. And, you know, in addition to mike browns dad obviously there, have the brown family and Vonderrit Myers family, have they spoken . I know in the Trayvon Martin case you have families of people who lost children come together. Have you seen that . Reporter they have. I spoke in a room with browns family and myers family, and they got a call from jordan davis father. They become part of a club no one wants to be a part of. Michael brown said yesterday a piece inside of him will never heal. So, beyond the movements of the case and the particular details, regardless of how it turns out, this family will be forever changed by the death of michael brown. Last question to you. What has been the posture of police during these protests over the weekend . Reporter so far at todays event, taking cue from moral mondays, Sources Say Police are reluctant to make arrests. At least a dozen here so far as demonstrators step close to the line and subsequently arrested. We saw last night more than a dozen arrests in st. Louis with officers banging their batons on the ground and using different tactics, some say they were ambushed. While its related to ferguson october and this weekend didnt yield many arrests. Msnbcs tremaine lee, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Reporter thank you. Some of the most powerful moments from this weekends protests can be heard in the voices of people who live in and around ferguson and st. Louis, including people of all ages joining together to call for change. Take a listen. This is what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Tell me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Tell me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. You cant stop the revolution. You cant stop the revolution maria is a Missouri State senator who represents ferguson. State senator, thank you for being here. Thank you. When we saw these protests over the weekend, they dont seem to be getting less intense. Weve had now more than a month of protests. People still seem to be out there in full force, full strength. What are you hearing from demonstrator as to what they want now . What are their principle demands . People are still looking for justice, joy, but the amazing thing about it, this weekend when weve had people from all over the country come, what we have figured out doing is to be organized, which is really, really have we lost the state senator . I dont think we can hear her. Hopefully well get the state senator back. Hopefully well try to get her back. We have, of course, heard what these weekends protests sound like. Lets take a closer look at the response to these protesters and what it looks like. Specifically outside that Quik Trip Convenience store in ferguson, missouri, after Police Say One of their Police Cruisers was pelted by rocks. Eugene odonnell is a professor of law at jon jay college. You have Police Officers walking in a line and, like, stamping their batons on the ground and sort of chanting, almost like theyre marching, too. Have you ever seen that kind of formation before . Why would police do that . What would be the point of it . Cant say ive seen it. I dont know what the strategy is. A lot of whats going on in ferguson, i dont know what the strategy is, including the way they responded to the shooting itself and some of the after issues with some of this militarized equipment. I dont know. And the fiveminute rule they were enforcing that they no longer can do. So, i guess theyre improvising. This is really a reflection of a Crisis Management without any kind of planning that should have gone into this. Hopefully the planning that should have gone into this is not have the crisis in the first place. This is police on the back foot trying to catch up, obviously. Were looking now at video of the protests in front of the quik trip where you have seated protesters, officers stamping their batons on the ground, this chanting. Its odd. Almost like a fraternity sort of. That could be intimidating, couldnt it . Isnt the idea in a situation like this toe try to deescalated the tension . That doesnt look like thats going to do that. Well, tactics do evolve so this might be something new. I havent seen it before. I dont see the the tried and true issue is to try to engage the protesters and give them as much leeway as possible. Respect their First Amendment rights and make sure violence does not occur to the greatest extent can you possibly do this. I mean, now that you have had the court ruling that said you cant tell protesters they have to keep moving. The idea the police are actually moving, you have this sort of phalinx of armed Police Officers, theyre armed, and they have these shields. Is the fact theyre moving provocative rather than the protesters are static. Violence begets violence. Can you breed violence if youre not using proper restraint and planning and information, intelligence, just finding out what everybodys up to and engagement. Again, we go back to engagement over and over again. Hopefully that doesnt look like engagement. I hope theres something we dont see optically on tv thats going on that speaks to engagement. How would you advise the ferguson and st. Louis Police Departments to deal with this Going Forward . Eventually a decision will be made about officer Darren Wilson. Another officer named in the other case. How would you advice these Police Departments to deal Going Forward. These protesters arent going anywhere ask they could escalate, if, in fact, theres not an indictment. What would you advise these Police Departments to be doing . Building bridges to people, building bridges to clergy. The scenes of yesterday, here, there, people out in front. Trying toe build bridges and get best practices and not being hesitant to call for help. There might be big city Police Departments that have been through this and will have a better handle on how to police this democratically, respecting peoples First Amendment rights. Definitely, dont keep it inhouse and definitely be open to learning lessons, you know, on a regular basis here, really on a daily basis. There have been calls for federal intervention, obviously. We have seen cases where the federal government really does come in in a big way with Police Departments that have sort of lost the trust of the community theyre policing. Is ferguson, at least in your view, getting to that point . It doesnt seem bdges are being built. Protesters who arent even moving are being arrested. Theres no fivesecond rule but people are still being forcibly moved by the polices movement. Is this a case where the federal government could be helpful . The well appears to be very poisoned here. It appears to be poisoned by the fact you have two separate towns going in different directions. The official ferguson and a lot of the community was not on the same page. They should also be a wakeup call. We shouldnt take a crisis. This is not the only town in america that has these underlying issues. Police departments need to realize this 19th Century Policing weve seen in a lot of places. Police have to evolve, start changing, do it urgently. Citizens are not going to accept policing from yesteryear. They want current, up to date policing. They can see what the police do, see what government does. It seems theyre no longer going to tolerate things. The more you see the criminal justice system, not just the police, the more unsettling youll find yourself. Its almost a misnomer because you saw an attempt to peacefully deescalate with the population there. Thank you. We do have back state senator nadal. Are you there . Yes, i am here. Thank you so much. Lets talk a little bit about you were saying when you lost your feed, what the protesters are telling you they want to see happen in the immediate future. Well, of course, weve always wanted to have as much transparency as possible. We want this case to move forward very quickly. We want to know what the response from the grand jury is going to be. We also want to make sure that the rules of engagement, while protesting, are not changing every single minute. As far as that has happened from time and time and time again, and so right now we are determined to let our voices be heard, but we also want to make sure our First Amendment rights are not taken away from us yet again. What i was saying before we were disconnected is that the protesters have become more organized, which is excellent, before we were just a little scattered about, but now especially after this weekend and the influence from people from throughout the country who are quite supportive, we have become more mobilized and more organized just you know, i have to tell you, kind of like the 60s. Its beautiful. One question as an elected official, have you to make preparations Going Forward. Has there been any discussion among elected officials you highway to plan if there is no arrest, no indictment of officer Darren Wilson . Yes. I am a member of the missouri black caucus. We have had conversations about what to do if there is not an indictment. I will tell you, were all meeting very regularly. Were talking on the phone. Were doing so much and were trying to make sure we understand that this is an emotional issue right now. But whats most important is that we learn from the lessons of this entire movement. Michael brown gave us a gift and that is the gift of awareness and activism, but we have to do it peacefully and we have to do it in an organized manner. That is why many of my colleagues that i work with are trying to create plans for all of our different neighborhoods and people who are interested in making sure justice is served as it is not with an indictment by the grand jury or conviction. Then it will be definitely through the legislative act. I have to tell you that our statutes are old and they need to change. One idea were thinking about, joy s making sure any time there is an incident with an individual who is unarmed and a police officer, that that case be removed and go to a different prosecuting attorney. Well hopefully have you on talk about the current prosecuting attorney. I know theres an election coming up and hes in it. Thats going to be interesting. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much, joy. Coming up, ill talk to one of the organizers leading rallies in ferguson about how protesters reacted to Police Tactics on the ground.

In less than an hour president obama will receive a briefing on the overall response to the arrival of ebola in the u. S. And on the dallas nurse who contracted the virus while caring for the late thomas eric duncan. Now, heres what we know right now about what we should note is a still very small ebola outbreak. At a News Conference a short while ago, the head of the cdc said the infection of a nurse who wore her protective gear while caring for duncan means the u. S. Must rethink how we combat ebola. One individual who had contact with the nurse after she developed symptoms is being closely monitored while the 48 people who had contact with duncan appear healthy but continue to be observed, too. Cdc director tom frieden said officials are still investigating how the nurse became infected. Saying theyre worried more cases could follow. And the thinking here is straightforward. If this one individual was infected and we dont know how within the isolation unit, then it is possible other individuals could have been infected as well. So, we consider them to potentially be at risk and were doing an indepth review and investigation. The director also took the time toll clear up comments he made on sunday about a, quote, breach of protocol. Saying he did not mean to give the impression that he was blaming the nurse or the hospital. Msnbcs ronan farrow joins me now from dallas. Talk about whats going on down there in dallas as regards this nurse and the people she may have come in contact with. So, as you mentioned, there is one person on lockdown being looked at closely and 18 health care professionals, were told, different Wire Services reporting some con flicking numbers on that, but thats the number we have right now. This, of course, in addition to the 48 odd people who have been monitored already for contact with thomas eric duncan. Right now in this hospital behind me this nurse is in stable condition. As you said, the next step is just making sure there are no additional transmissions. I think its so valuable, joy, you made it really clear. This is a very small outbreak. Were not seeing symptoms in any of these other individuals. And this one nurse is someone who had very, very close contact with thomas eric duncan. There are a number of points in his treatment that could have been vulnerabilities, that could have been this moment in a potential breach in protocol. Are we clear now that the nurse only had contact with mr. Duncan the second time he came in and if thats the case, is the hospital then going back and looking at people who may have had contact with mr. Duncan when he was triaged the first time he came in not feeling well . Well, we know that individuals get more and more contagious as their viral load increases. As they get sicker. Theres exponentially more risk to those who had contact with him, like this nurse, as you say, who is reported to have had contact during that Second Hospital trip than there would be for those who initially dealt with him. However, the full range of Health Care Workers who had contact with both individuals are being looked at right now. A lot of questions about how this is even possible given the fact this nurse was wearing protective gear. And there are three particular points of difficulty in the treatment process and in maintaining a complete fire wall between the individual and the infected person they are treating. One is taking off protective gear. Thats an incredibly involved 12step process in a very hot hazmat suit. Its supposed to be observed by an outside individual. Another is during the intubation of a person like thomas eric duncan. Finally, du
