CSPAN Washington Journal November 26, 2014

Just on the lr when the people snap back at the companies, and the companies shoot them, and then they attack the person, because, policy, and which your show has covered, no one is talking about, but, how the police are violating the Constitutional Rights of minorities and, thats part of the issue, and, when i put it, these people call in, and, i would like you to ask them, what do they know about stop and frisk, do they think its right for the police to do this . Youll see why, if theres so much bias, if this country,. Host paul is a democrat. Caller you know, i agree with fox, but, i have been switching around, between channels, and, theyre right. I mean, this dude, he is not mother teresa, if he wasnt robbing, a store, he probably wouldnt have gotten shot. I mean, look at it, they have video of him, punching out that guy in the convenience store, he would not have gotten shot. They act like hes some sort of motherrer rea. And he probably wouldnt have been in that position, and you know, that cop, i dont blame him. He was a big brute. I i would have shot him myself. Hes a big guy. Host the washington post, this is an essay, and this is the jump unrest, zaps power, and, little bit from this, finally, what distinguishes ferguson on the catalog of street violence, is what has happened, in recent weeks, the unseemly build up, and no crime was committed in the shooting death of brown, and produce an expectation of ugliness, and it may continue is, rioting as planned event, and so prepared for, as to obscure the power and meaning of the protest. News media obsessed with predicting it, and put down any uprising and, a power structure, by predicting it have combined, an unprecedented sense of inevitability, reducining a explosion of frustration. Tom, republican, youre on the air. Caller good morning. There were three major lives that were proven to be lives, that browns said to the press and, they were accepted as truth and, questioned, lie number 1 the policeman tried to go in through the window of the police car. He wouldnt fit. And the other lie was, was that is brown was shot in the back. This was proven, without a doubt to be a lie. The other lie was that, brown was 20, 25 feet away when he was shot. Well, the policemans shelves were 18 feet, from his body. That was a lie. Heres as thing, theyre instituting cameras, for policemen in florida, and a very good thing happens, less problems with the police, now, that i think thats because it puts the police on guard, and the people theyre doing with on guard. Without respect for the law, we cant have a nation, and, thats just the way things have to end up. The prosecutor, monday night spoke a little bit about the me yeah as well. Most significant challenge, in this investigation has been the 24hour newscycle, and its appetite for anything to talk about. Following closely hin with rumors on social media. I recognize, the lack of accurate detail, surrounding the shooting, frustrates the media, and helps breed suspicion of those distrustful, those details, about the physical evidence, give Law Enforcement a yard stick. John, is in pennsylvania, here, what do you think of the Media Coverage of ferguson. Caller i think we could have twice the amount of Media Coverage. The difference would be that they get into the root of things and not the sensational stuff, and burning. If they got back to the real reasons, why this has flared up, and, it does all over the country, is that, yeah, i agree with that New York Times frustration after years and years and years of driving while black, of being black and stop and frisk. The media should concentrate, they could do twice as much coverage, if they covered the correct things. Host another john. Caller thank god for cspan we get to voice our opinion and this is a very important thing. I think its been years in the making. The thing that happened, that we noticed last night, on television, was the coming together of our occupy protestors with our black fellow americans, there were just as many white people, in the streets, other than ferguson protesting. Just as many white americans, protesting this. In my town, we had a homeless man, lit up by the police, and shot dead. We had protests and other incidents and what we think is that we have a nationwide problem, with police going right to their gun, right off the bat, as soon as they lose their temper, and yes, the media does conspire. And we have right wing radio station, and the Police Officer had a broken bone in his face. Yesterday, they announced that he had a broken bone in his face, just before the verdict. And i called them and let them know that was not true. And then the pictures came out. This is what were up against. Everyone has their own reality and facts in the case. The actual truth and facts and what happened. What we get into a thing of how much policing we need. Do you think its justified for a Police Officer, with an unarmed suspect to go to his gun . They all wear cameras. They all carry tasers, and this is what is were coming to. A situation where, that camera is for your protection. Because not every Police Officer that you meet, is going to be 100 . Its just a sad fact of, we have a lot of soldiers coming back, and they dont know when theyre going to have a good or bad day. And i know people that have it. Move onto fred. Republican line. Caller yes, good morning. I believe this whole responsibility lies with the citizens of ferguson and, they are the won his that are allowed to live unsuch a calamity, ferguson, 67 black town, and mismanaged by a Police Department which is 95 white. They dont vote, and participate and, they allow to live unwhat i call apartheid. This is rampant all over, and not all over california. They need to go out and change the systems. If ferguson had 60 black Police Department this would have been different. Host edwin, if the Media Presence was not so prevalen, the demonstrations, would have been less violence. The Media Coverage of whats going on. Do you see the numbers there on the screen. This is from the New York Times, its from an article, on the front page, raonthe racial , virginia, independent line. What do you think about the Media Coverage. Caller good morning, in some cases theyre not directing their cameras on everything. They do a little bit more and the people and everything like that. I would like to say this. This young man, i have a question, why he wasnt tasered. Heres the other think this young man had just left a place where he right backed a man, and threaten he, to beat him up, if he said anything about it. With that attitudes probably would have the gotten killed by his own people. I think, they should hold responsibility. Jim says, riots make good t. V. , carol says juan williams, is right, in calling the media per vaiers of riots. Bruce, wisconsin democrat. Caller good morning, exthank you so much for this opportunity, im the geeser calling, and i would like to make 3 brief points. Im old enough to remember, the terrible spring of 1968 when we got to watch, the death of Martin Luther king and bobby kennedy. On the night of kings death, bobby was in front of a huge audience, black people, and to them he had had to make the announcement of the king assassination, it brought forth from him one of the most profound statements, i think. The whole media at that time froze. The riot riot proceeded. And we watched the nation burn. I like the idea of the socalled riot porch, i think thats a good description. But, the media still stepped behind, is catching up with the people, who know, really moving with great progress. Once again, with great cause, the nation brought people to the streets, from one end of the other. One low cal had a few fires, and i want to say lastly, how much i admire the parents of this young man and, as i did the parents of martin, the great courage that they have brought to the definition of what it is to be an american and the courage that they have shown with their statements. Host bruce in wisconsin, heres the frontpage of the journal. Republican. Caller i would like to point out that i, no matter what, the decision of the officer in ferguson, wisconsin to defend himself was justified. No matter how it comes out. He has a right to defend himself. No matter what is happening. Whether his decision to use lethal force was justified or not. Thats not for us to judge. Its for him to judge, in that moment. In the end, Everything Else that, the Race Relations go onto matter, however, in our society, it was his right, to defend himself from what he perceived to believe, a lethal attack on his personal person. Well leave it there. Kevin. Independent line. Media coverage in ferguson . Caller i would hate to see what would happen if they were around, 200 years ago, i think fox news would have been on the side of the british. Thats all i got to say about the matter. Host steven democrat, what do you think . Caller i think that a lot of people are very much disturbed, by the verdict, and, in that were seeing, an expressing of that. I agree with the president , there has been a lot of peaceful protests that are bringing attention to some of the greater issues, in that the media is ignoring those, and sensational rising some of the riots, that are occurring within ferguson. I think if the greater problem, with the media, and many issues. Thats something that we should have grown to good spec. I dont think they can be blamed. Richie, on our republican line. Caller yes. Thats me. Yes, the, ill calling in reference to the gentleman that talked about the stop and frisk, i would put a turn style on every corner because, thats the only way you stop it. These people, are, they think, theyre not going to. Thats not going to stop it. Let me tell you what is not nice, going to the cemetery on a saturday morning, you have a flower, and, drop it on a casket, and, got somebody in there that you wont see no more. These people that want to carry guns, they wont do it. Background checks, theyre not worried about no background checks. Thank you. Host john is in milwaukee. Independent. Caller good morning, i sit here, and i listen to all of this, theres a point to this, that is obvious, from the human history, that, nobody wants to talk about, nobody wants to realize, but history has proven it, white people are inclined, to steal, lie and murder. Now, in this particular instance, when is the last time you know of a black cop shooting a white kid or any kid without provocation . Think about it. Host serena. Caller hi, how are you . My comment is, i think, i dont condone the violence, i understand the violence. And i dont understand how you says that the guy, he put his hands up, dont shoot, if you got a gun, im not going to run and charge you, something has to be done. Until they get justice, it will keep on going. Seems like we take one step ahead and, two steps back. Host have you been watching it closely . Caller yes. Host do you think the media is covering it well . Caller i do. They stopped burning up the city, because they still have to live there. Host ed. Independent, good morning. Caller before i make my same time, i grew up in camden, new jersey, in the late 1960s, and a white kid, and i was the relentless victim, of the martins, and the browns at that time. So, you dont have anybody fooled here. I watched the media, constantly, over and over, waiting for the verdict. Waiting for the verdict. The media did an excellent job stirring it up. If it bleeds it leads. Like i said host why do you say that you were the victim of the martins, and browns. Caller they knew that, i was a white kid in a black neighborhood, and they knew they could get away with this. Host jim, republican. Jim. Caller yes, good morning. How are you. Host good. Caller i just have two comments on what whats going on with te black exoonty. I black community, in this country, is responding, to nothing less than being a prisoner of the Government Program the last 40 years, we have spent 22 plus trillion dollars, on trying to get these people out of poverty. They have brought it on themselves. And the fact of the matter is, the black family has crumbled, theres no fathers around, to teach them respect, and they dont understand and respect police authority, and they dont go to school. And all they want to do is be thugs and criminals. We have a white cop who shot a blackman, defending himself. Thats ail he was doing. I saw the testimony, the officer on television. This morning. Im sick and tired of the press and i dont include you in this, Mainstream Press promoting this violence. We have business owners, that lost their businesses and dreams and, millions of dollars, all because of black thugs, and pubs, decided to riot, and start fires. Over what . A dead 18 yearold . Are you kidding me . This country is falling apart and, its because of black community doesnt get their act together and, they have no fathers. Host this is harold, right across the mississippi river. Democrat. Caller good morning. My question is about the media, they never seem to want to ask the questions, of the history of what, for instance, the prosecutor, this man, has been he sat on the several trials, where unarmed black people were killed, two men were killed in the car, and the excuse was given, that the driver of the car was about to assault some officers and much why kill the passenger . Would you shoot up a whole bus full of children if the driver was running over a cop . He was on the case where, a cop was shooting at a black teenage girl, and this is a girl, who was sitting on her porch. Why isnt this history brought up . In st. Louis, if a blackman was tied to a tree and, set on fire, when he begged people to shoot him and, they laughed. Why arent these things never talked about. Its a history doing it way back, and thats what is bringing things up. That Police Officer was at another district, because of the way they treated black people. Host have there been protests in east st. Louis . No, because there hasnt been anything really has gone on. But there was a riot, in east st. Louis, back in the 1920s. When black people were set on the fire, in their houses. Theres a history to these things. Host brad i love the Media Coverage, i think its terrible, and i love it, because it shows the mentality of the media. I think this just guaranteed the election of a republican governor, between this it, and the immigration order, mr. Obama just nat democrats lose another 10 of the white vote, thank you. Host margaret, republican line. Caller yes, i would like to say, my nephew is a policeman, and i think the police, do an awesome job of taking care of citizens in this area. And, i think that policeman was doing his job, to the best of his ability and police pull you over, and they say put your hands on the Steering Wheel or put your hands up, and thats what they mean. You dont question their authority because they are the authority. If you want law and order you have to stand behind the placement. Host what do you think about the Media Coverage. Caller of ferguson . I think the media did an awesome job, and honestly, i saw the policeman, when they spued him, that should have been done before. I understand that theres things involved, that he could not have been interviewed before, and i watched t. That gave me the conclusion, that he did his job, he was doing his job. Ill tell you, People Better get an understanding of what it is like to be a policeman. You dont want towns without t. Host thats margaret. A couple of callers have referenced the fact that darren did a spew with a. B. C. News. Push him back, why yell at him to get back and, he pushed the door and just stared at me. He threw the first punch. Yeah, left side of my face. Some of the witnesses have said, they saw you trying to pull him not a car. That would be against every training. I dont know how many hit me, i know it was a barrage of swinging and grabbing and pulling for 10 seconds. And i reached out my window to grab onto his forearm. I was going to try to move him back, and i felt the immense power that he had, its like a fiveyear old, holding on to hulk hogan. Very large, very powerful man. Youre a pretty big guy. You tried to grab him and you feel that force. And as im holding him, i see him coming around, with his left handled, and it comes through the window, and, just a solid punch. Are you figuring how do i get out of this. How do i survive . I keep my gun on my right hip. And i said get back or im going to shoot you, and he grabbed the top of my gun, and said youre too much of a. [bleep] to shoot me. I could feel his hand trying to shoot me with my own gun and thats when i pulled the trigger for the first time. Host from the New York Times. Host thats the lead ed today torre he will, and heres the lead ed today torre he will in the washington times. Just a little bit from the washington times, this morning, per six up in the bronx, democrat. Caller first of all, let me say, no one, are to encourage violence. I sympathize with the brown family, my heart griefs for michael brown, but, let me say this, from way observed, no black people, have any rights in this place. I want to say i sympathize, with president barak obama, i love him. Let me say this, in conclusion, if the republicans have their way, they will treat president barak obama the same way, than how wilson treated motorcycle call brown, like a dog. Shooting him, and leaving his body for fourandahalf hours in the street, even worse than a dog. Individuals versus been jailed for treating dogs the same way. Michael brown has been treated worse. Have a nice day. Host stewart, in virginia. Independent line. Whats your view . Caller good morning, my view is this, this is a prime example of why, heres the problem, the inner cities, theres no jobs and, theres no business, the reason for that, why would anyone want to move their business into the inner city . Heres my point, you talk about the Media Coverage, they dont cover that aspect. And also, the only one thats benefit from this are the race baiters, like referenal sharpton, have you ever seen him, in chicago . I mean, this was as tragedy, no doubt about that. But every weekend in chicago, five or six young blacks are killed. Has he been up there . I dont think so. I havent seen coverage of it. Media coverage. They taught us the only good news is bad news and,ky
