About the way the justice department has handled everything is that he didnt point out the false narrative. they should have said simply look weve looked at this line by line. witness by witness, weve done everything we need to do and heres the unavoidable conclusion. what they should have said is you needed to have confidence in the investigation that went on. all weve heard about is a lack of confidence in policing right? we know the grand jury did what they should have done because the doj re...

Let the investigation work itself out. the same way they do when a community member is shot. dont put the pictures out there of the helmet with blood on it showing the evidence of the officers being shot. because when its on our end, they tell us to wait and allow the investigation to take place. >> and thats where the hard questions come in you talk to law enforcements here. you talk to big members of this community here. they say exactly what didnt happen with michael brown. the hands up dont ...

Doj report and anybody who has been working with the brown family this is the last thing you wanted. >> right. because, look it proves that there are deep issues leer. that the police there are risks to them in the community. that has to be addressed as well. i want to look at both aspects of the doj report. do you believe any way you can mitigate the strength of what was said about this police department? >> absolutely. we talk about the findings there were two reports. the one report said you ...

Wrongs dont make a right. its not good for us to come back and not say anything. its not good for the officers to come out and say, they had a handgun, when you havent had the evidence to prove so its also not good for them to say they were in the crowd, when the evidence is not there yet. lets allow the evidence to take its place. we have to look at the doj report and realize theres evidence to prove that mike browns hands was not up. lets not repeat that by saying the same thing here he was in...

Respect to the people that showed up last night, i think that the community needs to be given credit for the fact that there were people that showed up. and also people that were concerned about the danger of being here too, so you had two different dynamics going on and also there is this is an action this is a movement. so of course other people are going to show up as well. >> theres no question that weve had bad apples here from the beginning, everybody knows it who has been anywhere near th...
