Appropriateness of tasing a man who has already been tased who is simply not sitting up? can he even be cognizant of what hes being asked to do? >> the problem is the lack of enough guidelines. every situation is different that law enforcement officers confront. even if you have guide lines for how to use less than lethal force, and thats what were talking about here, they wont apply to every single situation. so the things these police officers are going to have to contend with is at some point...

So even without a specific threat they make a really good command decision. i dont think this should be missed by anybody. this is a good command decision to put s.w.a.t. officers there who have a rifle with them. this is what made a difference. i bet we find out in the end we dont know if they used handgun or long gun but they won the gun battle quickly and were s.w.a.t. officers. thats an indication they probably had their long guns deployed. whether or not these potential mass murderers had r...

Thats when they retreated back to where we are. as note fall has come, it has gotten increasingly violent and unpredictable. thats one of the reasons we are staying closer to the police. >> have police attempted to affect an arrest in any way? >> remember earlier we talked in the 8:00 hour and they arrested looters of the stores. there was a deals store looted. and the police had enough force that they were able to come in an arrest those looters. but 1s s, 3s, 4s, arrested. out here you have so...

They have all these backups built into the planes system so you also have human error so whether someone can adequately troubleshoot a situation in the air, which is an emergency, which is under high pressure so i think a lot more training in that regard would probably be very helpful. >> i think thats going to be the case, when we figure it all out, joe. heres the thing, at 32,000 feet, they sent out a call, we want to go to 38000 feet. then they go off radar. it seems like they were already in...

As we had a year ago. so we dont see the end of the tunnel, but i must say i dont think its darker than a year ago, in someways lighter. >> early on, kennedy made a command decision, we will not allow south vietnam to fall to the communists. >> in southeast, asia, communist-inspired subversion was unrelenting. south vietnam looked to others for assistance in stemming north vietnamese aggression. >> going back to the eisenhower administration in the 50s, the country split into south and north vie...

As you know we have 10 or 11 times as many advisers in there as we had a year ago. so we dont see the end of the tunnel, but i must say i dont think its darker than a year ago, in someways lighter. >> early on, kennedy made a command decision, we will not allow south vietnam to fall to the communists. >> in southeast, asia, communist-inspired subversion was unrelenting. south vietnam looked to others for assistance in stemming north vietnamese aggression. >> going back to the eisenhower administ...
