Earlier sunday, new yorks commissioner and mayor attending new yorks st. Patricks cathedral. They today in line for the slain Police Officer. This a stark contrast on the nypd turning tear backs on mayor deblassio, angry about his support for eric garner who died after an apparent choke hold by nypd officers. The shooters onslaught began saturday morning. He posted this ominous warning on instagram. Im putting wings on picks today. Accused of shooting his exgirlfriend in baltimore traveled to new york before taking his own life. The scene horrific. When you walked up and saw that patrol car, what was going through your mind .

At one point he told why. But it is worth looking at. People want to know if there is anything anyone could have looked for. Its not the first time we seen anybody mentally unstable, take the bait and do something horribly wrong. One thing we know for sure is the need for leader shp is great, starting locally. Lets bring in the president of black Law Enforcement executives and the deputy chief operating officer for De Kalb County and a member of president obamas new task force on the 21st century in policing. Gentleman, sorry to have you here for this. Good morning. You were there last night as the community was coming together. How do you explain to your constituents why this happened . Emotions are so raw. People are grieving. Theyre angry. My first reaction when i heard if news was rage. The mayor was elect ed to try t Reform Police community relation. That is not an easy thing. Change is never an easy thing. Particularly when it comes to Public Safety and acts of communities of color, there are bound to be friction. Those of us who are in positions of responsibility have an obligation to speak response blichl im trying to talk to my constituents and the people i connect with in a responsible measured way that respects the sacrifices oof these two officers and also, hopefully, will look forward to try to constructively clang the way things are. Commissioner bratton said the mayor didnt campaign against Police Officers, he campaigned. He says these politician whipped people up, demonized police him deblasio talked about his own son, he had to teach them how to be around police. They started a firestorm. Is that fair criticism . I think thats unfair criticism t. Mayor was elected to form policing policy in new york city. The famous ad with his son dante. Which many credit his winning the primary, winning the election, it was about Police Community relations. I think the mayor has been very measured in his dialogue. We need everyone involved in this situation to have that same measure of level. Dr. Alexander, this was one of the concerns, when the protests started the rhetoric was so hot, there would be retribution against Police Officers and wrongly so, now we see this, a big caveat, it was perpetrated by someone who was not in their right mind, obviously, feared by their own families, apparently untreated for whatever was given creating their madness. How do you see this act . First of all, let me offer my condolences to the family of the clain slain officers and to the city of new york who i know is mourning very deeply today. Let me say this, chris, i have said this from the onset, is that the relationships that must be establish and we must strengthen is the fact that community and police must Work Together. This one individual who lodged that attack against those officers the not speak for that entire community. Nor does he speak to this nation. At the end of the day the majority of people in this country support Police Officers. You are saying that, its being evidenced in this city. Across this great country, we will continue to build those reasons and those of us in leadership positions must demonstrate leadership. This is not a time for us to be divisive. It is a time to maintain a relationship and develop and create new relationships as we go forward. That will be the powerful piece that will move us through this. We have a former governor of new york who tweeted. Governor George Pataki said sickened by these barbaric acts, a divisive anticop rhetoric and he hashtags the attorney general and the mayor. What do you make of that . Is that leadership . I dont prescribe to that whatsoever. Here again what i think is so important who are in leadership positions the president and the attorney general both i think have demonstrated great leadership in a crisis at a time where you have the country calling out for some reform. They have stepped forward. They are doing everything they can to help effect some change. But we as an entire Community Must come together and be able to launch a partnership, chris, here, in this tragic time in this moment and ongoing threats towards police cannot be tolerated and the community has the stand and are standing with the Police Across this country to combat anyone who may attack those Public Officials because attacking Police Officers is attacking society at large and we are not going to stand for it. No one in this country is going to stand for it. Officers liu and ramos, obviously, living proof as officers of the diversity of the Police Department who all share as we heard from the First Responder a commitment to put their lives on the line every day for others. The idea of making purpose out of this pain, how do we do that . First of all, we need to honor the sacrifice they make. We will lay those officers to rest. Hopefully after that, all the people who have leadership responsibilities the mayor, the police union the leaders of the protests, are going to communicate and act responsibly to try to constructively change the way we do policing in new york city. Thats what the mayor was i elected to do and people need to accept that thats a reality. The borough president asked for protesters to stand down during this period to allow the officers to be laid to rest. Good move . I think thats appropriate. I think the focus of the city really needs to be on the grove that we have, on laying these officers to rest. Respecting the families, honoring tear sacrifice. But when that concludes, we do need to move forward on an agenda of policing. The police union the protesters, the mayor, the city council, we all have a role in that. It starts with not demonizeing any of the other actors in that equation. Thank you very much for trying to help us figure out this situation and move forward. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Alisynments another top story, north korea vowing to retaliate against the u. S. After president obama made it clear he holds the regime responsible for orchestrated attacks on sony, and will find way to respond and may restore north koreas designation of a sponsor of terrorism on a list of terrorism states. Pyongyang is promising to come after the u. S. With harsher attacks. Sony claims it did not but to hackers and is considering ways to release the film that started this whole mess. Michelle ka zin z ski is on the ground in honolulu where the president is vacationing. Good morning, michelle. Hi, alisyn. It seems yesterday north korea was making announcements to the world like it discovered a unicorn layer. Today this back and forth over hacking is starting to seem like a movie, only stranger than fiction. This morning, the white house said that the u. S. Response to the hacking will not be dictated by these outrageous statements north korea keeps making and may not even be visible or announced when it does happen. North korea now openly threatening u. S. Security, vowing nothing is a more serious miscalculation than guessing a single Movie Production Company is a target. Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the white house, the pentagon and the whole u. S. Mainland the cesspool of terrorism. Even while denying the hack, north korea promises escalation saying the hackers are sharpening bayonets to do acts thousands of times greater. Do you think it was an act or war . I think it was an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly, very expensive. We take it very seriously. That characterization not as cyber war but vandalism launched the president s critics am home. This is a manifestation of a new form of warfare, when you destroy economies, when you are able impose censorship on the world and especially the United States of america, its more than vandalism. We need to react and react vic russly. Reporter what america can do and when is a question. Possibly sanctions against the already strapped regimes economy, like banks or military. The u. S. Has now reached out to china and asked for couldnt. What exactly that would look like, u. S. Officials declined to say. It has been stated at the highest levels is options against north korea are being weighed as we speak. They caused a lot of damage and we will respond. We will respond proportionally and we will respond in a place and time and manner that we choose. Reporter so belle isle this is going on, today on an unprecedented move, they will take up the dismal human rights record. They call it one of the worst in the world, they will be looking at referrals to the International Criminal court for crimes against humanity. Alisyn.

The North Koreans denying they had anything to do with the hack on sony pictures. Threatening something worse is coming. How seriously should they take the rocky nation . And the Police Situation in new york city. Right now, they are on high alert. Pointing fingers at their mayor for not having their backs. That fer, we will take a closer look at the tragedy and water going on right now. North korea ramping up its rhetoric against the kungs this morning despite involvement, pyongyang now warns there will be more of the same and even worse. The u. S. Even asking chosen for help, how should the u. S. Respond and what might kim jongun do next . Lets bring in cnn Political Columnist for the New York Times and cnns political commentator, contributing editor, gentleman, great to see you. Ross, you wrote a piece for the fork times this weekend. I want to read one sentence from it. Its interesting. You say in practice, kim jongun has our cultures number, letting angry people impose little censorship is the way we live right now. You make it sound like this is an every day occurrence . My point is just what happened with sony andinterview and this movie is not all that different from what weve seen play out repeatedly in the u. S. And europe with conversations around islamic fundamental ammism, whether its canceling performances or various things that have happened where basically people threaten violence and cultural institutions basically retreat. Then this happens on a sort of lower scale on College Campuses with Commencement Speakers getting disinvited and so on. The problem here is that we are talking about what the u. S. Should do in response, but really the moment for a ve responsibility was a week ago when not only sony but obviously the Movie Theater chains that had the opportunity to show a movie had a chance to say were not going to give into hacker pressure. So you think they should, despite the threats, you think the theaters should have run the movie . Yes, absolutely. You are establishing absolutely terrible cultural precedence if you dont release the movie. Look, if you have a credible specific threat against specific Movie Theater and Law Enforcement is involved and says, dont show the movie, dont show the movie. At this point we dont even know still that this is really north korea. I mean, we think it probably is but the North Koreans can bluster and pretend its them. We dont know if they are capable of pulling off terrorist attacks on our soil. So retreating as sony and others did, what was a mistake. Okay. Peter, how do you see this . Is this Political Correctness gone amuck . Or are we in cyber warfare . I think it has a lot to do with the bottom line. The big fear of the movie chain was that if people were afraid to come to the movies, it would affect the box office. The other movies, i think the what this has to do with fundamentally, a concern that in the biggest movie year, week of the year, that box offices would be down across the country. Peter, what should the u. S. Do now . This is one of the most bar barack regimes in modern history. Its defenses towards its own people boggles the mind. What the United States needs is a strategy for regime change. A political strategy. The only way to do that is to convince the chinese it is in their interest to fall. The only way is to convince the chinese there will not be u. S. Troops in a unified korea on cones border. If the Unite
