Two months after the death of Michael Brown in ferguson, missouri, fresh protests across another town after a case that is drawing a lot of comparisons that involves an officer and a teen fatally shot and a Fragile Community depply distrustful of law enforcement. An off duty officer shot and killed 18yearold meyers. Police insist it was after a chase and altercation. Meyers fired first three times and they recovered his gun and shell casings and other evidence at the scene. The time of the incident, meyers was out on bond and a charge of resisting arrest. In both he plead not guilty. He was out buying a sandwich with two friends and was unarmed. It has to stop. She just an innocent child. I thought my nephew would see me grow old and gray. That would never happen. They washed his blood away and cant wash away what happened yesterday. My family is deeply sorry and we are missing him already and we are hurt and we lost our child. All of this in st. Louis, a Community Already deeply divided with eight more arrests made just last night. Amanda is on the scene. Last night in st. Louis, Police Clashed with protesters after a peaceful prayer vigil turned violent. The officers were seen spraying pepper spray into the crowd. A lot of tensions there. What are you hearing today . For today, organizers say there is a very palpable sense of anger on the street. They anticipate this continuing on throughout the entire weekend. In just a few hours, the protesters are scheduled to gather just outside here outside st. Louis. There should be crowds that gather and right now we are seeing protesters come into the city from across the country. They wanted this to be a National Movement coming together for this weekend. Whats the status of the investigation into meyerss death specifically . The last we heard from the st. Louis police is that there were eight arrests last night and thats about the latest we about as far as the investigation. We know that st. Louiss mayor is wanting to calling on the Justice Department to look into the investigation. They want to have a very transparent probe into finding out what exactly happened last night. Thanks for following that story. We appreciate it. Tensions are still high over in ferguson after the death of Michael Brown. It is two months since that death. There nearly a dozen events planned for the next few days. Supporters of the family still search for justice. Joining me now is the family attorney for the browns. Thank you so much, ben, for coming back on. What was your reaction to hearing the latest news about the other young man in st. Louis . Its troubling because again it has so many questions unanswered to a community that is already steaming about the action with the police and whether they are there to protect and serve or agitate the community. I interviewed both you and Michael Browns father. Take a listen to this moment. It struck me. If there is one positive thing that comes out of this very dark situation, what would you hope that would be. What is the one change you would like to see . For this not to happen to no one else. Has the brown family been in touch with the Meyers Family at all . They have. It was one of just to offer prayers and condolences. Michael brown and leslie are sincere in trying to say we want to use our child as a legacy to try to make some kind of change. We keep talking about this video and cameras on police. Everybody who is out exercising their First Amendment rights are asking for the mike brown law, but also asking that this governor appoint a special prosecutor to get transparency. Other than that we dont know how people will react to the grand jury. Lets talk about that. You filed an official request to have a special prosecutor appointed, replacing the current prosecutor. Is there an update on that status . We have not heard back yet from the governors office. We anticipate hearing Something Back one way or the other, but its clear that there is a conflict of interest with the prosecutor using officer wilson and so many of his cases as the main witness and the arresting officer, but yet standing in judgment whether or not to indict him knowing that the other cases are gone. Its a conflict. Why dont we have a special prosecutor so they can get due process and have a chance to get justice for their child. Both in the community and on the ground questioning whether a grand jury was the right choice here. A question about the broader policy picture. Problem spoke about the browns last weekend at a Congressional Black Caucus event. Take a listen to this. I wont comment on the investigation. I know that michaels family is here tonight. I know that nothing any of us can say can ease the grieve of losing a child so soon. But the anger and the emotion that followed his death awakened the nation once again. Too many feel targeted by law enforcement. Guilty of walking or driving while black and spur fear and hopelessness. What has been right and wrong in the federal interventions this this case . The one thing that we are encouraged by is that they expanded the probe to lock at all of the Police Department to see if this was a pattern that led up to Michael Browns tragic demise at the hands of officer Darren Wilson in brought day light. You do want them looking at the big picture. You have the dinse dense when you think about what happened in South Carolina and what happened in ohio and walmart. You think about they are gone in new york and louisiana where you have a young man handcuffed in the back of the police car. He is shot and killed. You have this happening just as president obama said walking while black and driving while black. It is very, very troubling to us black parents because we never know, is it going to be our child today . Thats why we are fighting so hard to say we are all americans and we all deserve our Constitutional Rights as any other american. Its an Important Message there. Our thoughts continue to be with the brown family. Pass that on if you would. Thank you. We will be keeping an eye on the stories of alleged Police Brutality that Benjamin Crump just mentioned around the country. Up next, new developments regarding the only ebola patient to die in the United States. A very sad story. We have that coming up. Will we see more scenes like this in the coming days . The ebola scare that knocked a flight to the ground. Thats after the break. Dont go away, everybody. male announcer its happening.

Covered by nearly all Health Insurance and medicare plans. We have just received word that Thomas Eric Duncan was cremated today. New reports about his final day are emerging. They are igniting tough questions about how he was treated. According to the do you means obtained by the ap, the man known as eric had a fever of 103 degrees when he was sent home from the hospital in dallas leading to a days long delay in his treatment. That information was not confirmed. We will keep an eye on it for you and looking at getting a response from the hospital. A house security meeting on ebola is being held in the field look at the response to the duncan case. Concern also kbroeing this weekend. Major airports will begin screenings for ebola that include taking passengerss temperature. The Senior Editor has been following the story. The new evolutions about the condition that he was in when he was turned away from the support, what does that suggest about the preparedness . Even though we knew ebola would be a thread, a chance of a still over would happen. Somehow what seemed to be clear and a high fear we are now hearing, the travel history was missed. Not only did that put others at risk, but clearing it delayed his treatment. There is a lot of questions about whether the level of alarm and communities everywhere is in line with the actual treat. We dont want to exacerbate the level of panic. One person diagnosed. By comparison, the enterovirus killed people in 47 states and four deaths. Do you think the current level of reaction is in line with the level of threat . In no way. One person had the case and died and that person was not infected in the United States. It had not spread in the u. S. In liberia and guinea, its ridiculous. Ebola is a scary disease and has a high mortality rate and no way to treat it, but the level of panic is well beyond what we need to experience it. Its a helpful voiz of caution. Just yesterday we saw the hazmat scare. New screenings start tomorrow. Is that screening method of checking temperatures reliable . Somewhat, but that would not have caught mr. Duncan coming into the United States. It often takes a number of days for the symptoms to show up. Travel history would be more important and knowing whether he had contact. The best bet is to treat it on the ground where its happening in the epicenter. I just want a note on the comparison. The exact numbers, 47 states, four people dead just to be clear there. The firstuse bella combatants from the military side are arriving on the ground in west africa. How much can they help . They can help build the materials we will need and thats what we need. We need boots in terms of nurses and doctors and it has been difficult to get that. They are as scared as anyone else and the risks are real for Health Officials and doctors and nurses. We need more protective equipment and its slow in coming from the developed world and getting there. Thats what really turn this is disease around. Its getting worse, not better. A lot of troubling news and reason to not panic at this point. Brian walsh, thank you for the update. Just ahead, a deadly set back in the fight against californias forest fires. We have got a report from inside that effort and its you may not expect. Guess who makes up 50 of that states wildfire fighting force. Stay with us.

The applegate fire destroyed six home, forced thousands of evacuation orders and is only 30 contained according to experts. California is going through one of the worst fire seasons in recent years. With 4500 fires so far. Earlier sad news. The pilot of an air tanker when his plane crashed in yosemite. Our partners have spent time with the force in california and they learned a detail about who is actually on that team. Im incarcerated. Manslaughter. Drink driving. Bad news. Lewis and morgan are two of the inmates locked up in the california prison system, but they are also Something Else. Firefighters. Trained to battle the wildfires that break out every dry season, the state of california has 4200 inmate firefighters that make up half of the firefighters force. I was excited. I wanted to come here. Its better than being stuck in prison. You can get out and do something that counts for something as opposed to wasting the days away doing nothing. Inmate firefighters live in 40 wilderness areas around the state. Its more scout camp than correctional institution. As opposed to a regular facility, we are interracially bunked. It teaches us to get along. They are all volunteers. You can only apply if your security is not too high and you cant be serving a life sentence or be convicted of arson and you have to be really, really physically fit. This is the shortest of the hikes and we are to about the halfway point. Firefighting is very, very physically demanding. Inmate firefighters must be able to complete a series of timed hikes, carrying 45 to 70 pounds of gear. Do you know what you will do when you get out . I was a Union Carpenter before and i may do that again or may pick up the course and possibly do this. Inspired by this. So california gets thousands of firefighters who they dont have to pay real salaries and the department of corrections gets a rehabilitation tool. Teamwork is a big deal. A lot of them were members of gangs and there is a big difference. They motivate each other and the hard work makes them feel good. Its what they do. They do hard work. Fighting wildfires requires aircraft and fire trucks, but mainly it takes thousands of firefighters on foot. This fire season at least half a dozen inmates have been injured, mainly burned.
