The day the this video and the shooting were unrelated and confirm that the officer was unaware of the Convenience Store robbery. The role of two officers, someone thinking it was the same officer as was involved in the shooting and that is not the case. There were two separate officers in this robbery does not relate to the initial content between the officer and Michael Brown. Ashely Highway Patrol captain ron johnson is being hailed for his ability to well the violence overnight. Admitting today that the Ferguson Police should have handled the video differently. Regardless of todays significant releases, many questions about the timing and reason for the shooting still remains with critics blasting the Ferguson Police chief, accusing him of trying to soil of victims reputation. Michael tobin is on the ground and ferguson with the latest. A muchanticipated announcement of police and ferguson, missouri, six days after the shooting death of Michael Brown. The officer that was involved in the shooting was deren wilson. Police released the name, calling him a gentle and quiet man and a distinguished officer of six years, but no photo was provided. He was unarmed when he was shot, Spring Community outrage. Initially the chief said that he was stopped following description of a robbery suspect and leader gave a different reason for the deadly confrontation. They were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. Surveillance video was also released prior to the shooting. He entered a local market where he allegedly stole close to 50 in swisher sweets cigars and shoved the store clerk in the neck. Even the release of the officers name left many angry.

What is missing is information about what turned a confrontation into a fight and what prompted the use of deadly force. What is ahead is another tense night and ferguson. Ashely michael tobin, thank you so much. Our first guest urging residents to allow the Legal Process to play out and not rush to any more judgments. Hes also applauding the st. Louis county prosecutor for deciding to take this case to a grand jury. Joining us on the phone is the lieutenant governor. Thank you for joining us. Lets begin right there why this is so important to get this case in front of a grand jury as soon as possible. Thank you for having me. I would just like to stress to the listeners that the missouri law, our state law differs from that of many states in that it gives prosecutors, local prosecutors discretion as to whether to bring the charge in the prosecutors sole discretion or whether to take the case to a grand jury, one that has citizen of st. Louis county in this case, weighing all the evidence before them, letting the grand jury make the decision on whether to charge or not. The prosecutor in st. Louis county has made a decision the decision that he is taking everything to the grand jury and that that will involve the people of st. Louis county in making this decision. People should have, i think, a heightened level of confidence in that that would be International Scrutiny on this case and all eyes being on st. Louis in this instance, we know that, local, state, and federal investigations under way, that this will be handled and every scrap of evidence will be way before the grand jury as they make their decision on bringing up the charge. There were some comments made earlier throughout the day about the release of the video of the robbery of the family of Michael Brown, calling it inflammatory. A case of character assassination because it didnt have any direct impact between Michael Brown and the officer. So how would you respond to that we might. I have to say that tactical decisions about what evidence could be released and when to release it, its not something ive been involved in. Im not in that chain of command. Those questions would better be directed to the local officials who made those decisions. I have been traveling today and i have heard this breaking news as everyone else has heard it. And i cant really opine on that. Ashely i know you have been extremely busy. I appreciate you taking the time to speak to us tonight. Thank you, we appreciate it. Thank you. Ashely the events and ferguson, missouri, leaving many to criticize the militarization of the law enforcement. Its part of the excess Property Program known as the 1033 program. More than 4 billion worth of military women has not local Long Distance 2000 next. I have billion dollars last year alone. The pentagon also distributing 432 armored vehicles, more than 400 other armored vehicles, 500 aircraft and 93,000 assault rifles, our next guest says giving officers more sophisticated weapon and training with robust oversight may actually reduce and not heighten risks. We are joined by eugene odonnell, professor at the college of criminal justice and he is also a former officer with the new York Police Department and the prosecutor with the District Attorney office in brooklyn and queens, new york. Thank you for joining us. Its good to be with you. Before we get in to the use of military hardware in smalltown, theres been a lot of criticism about how the Ferguson Police department has handled the adulation and it goes back to last saturday. Would you agree with the criticism and what you do you think the biggest mistake they have made have been a max i think today was a pretty dramatic mistake for the police chief to be the person releasing this information and i think its ideal if they can find another mechanism to do that. One of the things they had to do today is about for the officers and i think that plus a timeline where the tape comes out today, it it further undermines Public Confidence and they need to step away from this case and the greatest way possible and find another mechanism to deliver objectives and information without editorializing. Lets get to some of the military hardware that we saw being rolled out in the wake of the shooting and it was quite shocking to see. Is it not create a we are at war kind of feel, especially when you see these kinds of vehicles and more equipment and it has to be done very judiciously. And they are not careful enough in the way that they use this weaponry and includes a National Standard for using them and we need to work on all of that. The idea of localized Police Department making these rules up as they go along is actually cause for concern. And this includes event of the marathon. Including the event on the psyche of the Police Officers themselves that is a great concern and if you think and how does that include the safest possible way. Or should do ideally send the very best trained minimally force oriented kinds of officers who have enough weaponry to end the situation without violence and its a difficult issue but it shouldnt be oversimplified. Ashely eugene odonnell, thank you for speaking with us. We have been talking about rick perry being indicted for abuse of power. Investigating public corruption and he was indicted today and maximum punishment is five to 19 years in prison in the second is two to 10 years is the first Texas Governor indicted in nearly a century and he leaving office in january but he is a possible 2016 president ial candidate until course we will be following this story very carefully.

One more time, everything and with that in mind. Whats in your wallet . Ashely israel and hamas have a temporary 58 these fire to continue with the peace talks in cairo. The main selling block as the gaza blockade, restricting the flow of goods into the area. They have said very little and they are telling and military forces continue to conduct tests. I am joined by Lieutenant Colonel bill cowan. Thank you for joining us tonight. Its going to be really hard we are going to run into at with the same kind of problems with isis as leadership. And they are showing a lot more capability than what we have found in other places in this includes the opportunity to destroy them without having some kind of collateral damage. Its important to remember that the courage didnt fight that they have been experiencing this. Ashely to what extent do you think the u. S. Will be dragged into this . Welcome actually, i think that we will do it with what the president says im in no combat troops on the ground and i believe for my from my own experience as an advisor for a number of years that they are critical in the field and they bring a lot of confidence. Pilots like to talk to americans on the ground and not to be iraqis or courage on the ground. Especially as we talk about u. S. Involvement. Ashely do you think that this is an amalgam of groups that have been fighting, that they have taken on this extremely radical position and those al qaeda people moved in with isis and i know that they moved into iraq and they were unaffiliated with any kind of terrorist activity but were disenfranchised and i would say that if i couldnt a lot of the sunnis were so disappointed that the United States left them and we really abandon them and they have indications with some of the sunnis who fought with us on alongside us are now part of isis. So its so complex and really difficult to follow. Ashely how concerned would saudi arabia be that this extremism will make its way into their country . They and a lot of other countries, any country that has its own citizens during isis and all of those systems do, they are stakeholders in the big problems that we face. Once he is well trained, he will go back to his own native country and conduct terrorist acts are goes beyond jordan and saudi arabia. So this is not going to go away anytime soon . No, its not going to go away anytime you and i expect itll be on tv for the next five or 10 years. Talking about isis as the grows and continues to recruit and start conducting operations far outside the boundaries of iraq and syria. We are delighted to have you anytime. Thank you for joining us tonight. Thank you for inviting me. The World Health Organization today warning that the number of Nouri Almaliki cases has risen.
