Look who is in his place. Clayton morris. Thanks for joining us this morning. Peaceful protests erupting into another night of chaos. Tear gas, molotov cocktails
are flying through ferguson, missouri. 31 protesters arrested overnight. Gunfire breaking out in the crowd. Two people were shot. Were live on the ground there in ferguson. What are police saying at this hour . Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Police are saying this morning that things did not go as well last night as they were hoping with National Guard units there on the ground in ferguson to assist local and state Police Officers in handling these protests which often turned violent overnight. This is the ninth night since that shooting and there has only been one night without violent actions. Last night was one of the more violent weve seen. Many times its carried over from violence against police to violence against the community with businesses looted. That has carried over into surrounding communities. The mayor of delwood said eight businesses in his
community were hit sunday night, chuft most violent violent one of the most violent nights weve seen. There is Surveillance Video at the store when ten minutes after closing you can see a crowd of 10 to 15 people outside throwing items at the glass windows and doors trying to break through. Then they pull out a gun and shoot through the windows, they break into the store, steal liquor, gets cigarettes, ten minutes after the shop owner closed up. The the chief Police Officer said these types of incident caused them to step up in ferguson. When those businesses were being looted and now those families are saying we cant rebound, its ruined our livelyhood and
we stood there and the next day i woke up and said we did not do enough. And i stood in that line and officers were crying and officers were angry at me for standing on had a line and letting that happen. Standing on that line and letting that happen. I am not going to let criminals that have come from across this country or live in this community define neighborhoods or defy what were going to do to make it right. Police are going to try again today to keep protests as peaceful as they can. They have asked protesters to do so peacefully, that they come out during the daytime so they can handle those protesters with more violent or criminal intent in the evening. That could be a good idea. There was a shift last night. Clearly they ended the curfew but Governor Nixon called in the national
guard. It is the first time the National Guard has been mobilized in the st. Louis, missouri, area since world war ii. The fact that the word war is even in there when you understand that the president addressed iraq and ferguson yesterday in a press conference and briefing. Both images seemed to look in an increasing way quite similar and you cant believe this is happening. Strategy was employed by Law Enforcement yesterday by not allowing potential protesters to group as individuals were walking along the streets in ferguson. They were trying to keep the numbers down. That didnt work past dark. Im confused by the back and forth change in strategy. On thursday night i have one strategy. Friday night you have armored personnel in front of the stores. No protests, none of the stores were looted. The next night they pulled back again and more stores were looted. Last night you had theNational Guard show up and more stores were looted. Clearly none of this was working. Yesterday our kind of vacationing president of the United States went into the Briefing Room and he did address whats going on in ferguson. But unfortunately he stopped short of actually condemning the people who were doing the looting and what not. Listen. I have to be very careful about not prejudging these events before investigations are completed because although these are issues of local jurisdiction, the d. O. J. Works for me and when they conduct an investigation, ive got to make sure that i dont look like im putting my thumb on the scales one way or the other. While i understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving in to that anger by looting or carrying guns and even attacking the police only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos. It undermines rather than advancing justice. There are two parallel tracks. The protesters are going out in the afternoon. We saw all of those which is great. We saw fox news cameras on the road as folks were peacefully protesting. Then the looting unfolds. Charles krauthammer last night on special report thought the president should have come out more forcefully against the looters who have nothing to do with the protests. They are opportunists looking to steal beer. I couldnt quite understand why he spoke today. He didnt add anything. But there is a moral equivalence, not the kind eric dyson is talking about. It is one where he says if you attack the police it serves only to stir chaos. That is an instrumental way of criticizing it. Youre not going to achieve your goals. What he should be saying is it is wrong. In a Democratic Society you dont do that. In addition to beer, other things are occurring. Two pistols were reportedly found on individuals arrested. Molotov cocktails found on the bed of their truck. The situation is increasingly becoming more dangerous as more information comes out on this case. The president indicated eric holder would be meeting with local Community Officials there as well as going through some points and details as we now have findings from the autopsy report. To your point about the opportunistic looters, clayton, two were arrested last night with addresses in new york and california according to the st. Louis postdispatch. Clearly these are not necessarily all local folks. Somebody not local is dr. Michael baden. He, of course, the famous medical examiner from new york city has been called in by the family. He did an autopsy and he was asked do his findings fall in line with the victim or the cops version of the story. Heres what he said last night. The flesh around the bullet holes of entrance
were clear there was no gunshot residue, no citizenship pelg, no no stipeling around the entrance wounds which indicate the muzzle of the weapon, the end was more than a footd away at the time of discharge. It wasnt a close contact. It wasnt very close as would have to be the case if they were fighting inside of a car. They are consistent with hands raised. They are consistent, yes, with the arm, forearm, the right forearm and arm being raised because they were on the right arm. But they are also consistent with the arms being at the side. So they could be either way from the gunshot wounds themselves in the arms. Its fascinating. It might not have taken place in the car where we heard that first gunshot was, according to dr. Baden. He did note once the clothing is examined you can tell if gunshots exist there. It would indicate distance to a more exact degree rather than not having the clothing. That is what the medical examiner said. Dr. Baden will be with us in about an hour. Christine buyers, a st. Louis postdispatcher reporter tweeted out Police Officers tell her more than a dozen witnesses corroborated the cops version of events in the shooting. Meanwhile, somebody who identified themselves as jozie, reportedly a friend of the officer involved called into a radio show on friday. This is her interpretation of what the Police Officer told her happened that night in ferguson. Michael bum rushes and shoves him back into his car, punches him in the face and then darren grabs for his gun and michael
grabs the gun. At one point hes got the gun turned against his hip, shoved it away and the gun goes off. Michael and his friend turn around and michael is taunting him, what are you going to do about it . Youre not going to shoot me. He said all of a sudden he started to bum rush him. He started coming at him full speed so he just started shooting and he just kept coming. Thats in keeping with dr. Badens finding too where he said one of two scenarios could have played out where he was leaning forward and the bullet went through his mouth down his collar bone as a result of him leaning forward. It could have been him falling on the ground or it could have been him charging him. Two scenarios. There were other witnesses who say they saw things that were completely different. Still at this point we dont know. We are going to speak with dr. Baden coming up in a few minutes. And theres dr. Baden there. Right over here we have,
look whos here to do the news. Good morning to you, heather. We have other news to talk about. Two california teenagers we begin with waking up behind bars, arrested in a plot to shoot up their school. Police say the unnamed teens made specific plans to kill three staffers and then gun down as many students as possible at South Pasadena high school. School officials noticed they were acting strangely. They reported their behavior to police and that is when police discovered the teens were researching different guns and weapons and had a very specific plan for the attack.

The shooting of an unarmed africanamerican teen putting the spotlight on Race Relations in ferguson, missouri. Among the citys 21,000
residents, 67 are black and only 29 are white. Why is only 5 of fergusons Police Officers black . Were going to ask the former mayor of ferguson, missouri, that very question right now. Thank you for joining us this morning. When you see those statistics, why is that . Why arent there more black officers on the Police Department in ferguson . Well, its not only black officers. Its also female officers. Across not only ferguson, but across the country it is very difficult because theres a very small pool of africanamerican officers or female officers. When an africanamerican or female graduates from the police academy, they receive multiple offers and of course any human being is going to take the best financial offer that they receive. When we do get an africanamerican officer, they get a little experience and then they are enticed away by anotherPolice Department that can pay them more. Again, i dont blame the officers, both africanamerican, female africanamericans or females in general. They are doing the best they can do for their family. We have a limited number in the pool coming out of the academy. Why the small number in the pool . Im not sure. There are obviously requirements. Images in the africanamerican of being a Police Officer, these issues i dont know. I do know that we make extreme effort to do so, minority elected officials to provide me with a candidate list i can bring to the city council. I as mayor for six years never received a request from any africanamerican leader in this community saying they had a qualified candidate that wanted to be a Police Officer here. I have never received let me ask you this. You mentioned image in the community. Are you suggesting then that if a black person
wants to be an officer there in ferguson that the community would not receive that well . Are they considered traitors if they work for the Police Department and theyre black . You would have to ask the africanamerican population that. I also want to reflect, you said 67 africanamerican. Heres the important thing. The surrounding communities of ferguson of jennings, delwood, all these communities, they have between 81 and 95 africanamerican; okay . They drive on our streets because we have the grocery stores, we have the home depots, the walmarts, the sames and they must come to our community because they dont have these means of shopping. When somebody is pulled over go ahead. It is actually concerning so many people that theres such a gap there racially. Mayor, we want to thank you for bringing your insight to fox friends this morning. Thank you. Work to be done there. Thank you very much. He was lost in the woods for five days no food, no water.
