Was this an individual that was running from the law? is this somebody that had a felony warrant and didnt want to go back to jail? in my 30 years of policing, ive seen many people who were not willing to go back to jail and they were willing to use deadly force this is a totally different situation. why did he keep shooting? why did he continue down the highway shooting innocent people? did he think, hey, now that i shot at the cops, im going to die, i might as well take as many people with me....

Weather center. >> yes, and george, things are rapidly dough tear greating across the bahamas. this is the water vapor imagery. strong winds, heavy rainfall. before its all said and done, the better part of the next two days there could be between ten and 15 inches of rainfall. some locally heavier amounts, and were looking at a storm surge maybe 15 feet on some of those east-facing beaches. so we are in the danger zone as far as the northern bams bahamas are concerned. freeport bahamas is right...

With that. so i think that it was some reason that they were stopping him besides the broken taillight. >> yeah. and the routine, and we were talking about that earlier in the newsroom of why that was not in there, and also something that is standing out and doesnt seem right, it is not easy to shoot people from a moving vehicle into another moving vehicle and actually hit something, and this guy managed to do that and ditch the car and steal a mail vehicle, a postal vehicle, and again, that is ...

And shot somebody, because of their race, and the person happened to be a postal carrier, so i mean, there is too many ironies in this for me, but i think that what happens is that you are going into the rampage thing. no matter what started this, he decided at the point where he right before he fired at the officers that this is going to be his final, final act, and he was going to make it big, and i think that is what we are seeing, john, you know, taking all of the politics and taking anythin...

The crowd that was listening to him, people who were from every walk of life and people i am sure of different political backgrounds began the chant do something, do something, do something. that is our responsibility to do something to ensure that people who shouldnt have weapons dont get them. and that certain types of weapons never get on the street. and we dont know all of the details of what happened today, but we certainly know what happened in el paso and dayton, and at mother emmanuel ch...
