Woodruff we take a closer look now at the situation in ferguson. How the st. Louis, missouri Area Community is struggling to keep order and heal the divisions that continue to bring protesters to the streets. A short while ago we spoke with u. S. A. Today reporter yamiche alcindor, who is in ferguson. Yamiche all cinder, thank you for joining us again, i want to start by asking you about reaction to Governor Nixons decision to ended curfew and to call in the missouri National Guard. The reaction here was really mixed. I talked to a lot of people who were really happy to hear that the National Guard was coming in. People say that the businesses here are losing so much money and people who live in this neighborhood are terrorized because every night there is tear gas and gunshots in their neighborhoods. Hour some people are really upset. I talked to one woman who feels like shes in prison in her own neighborhood. And there, people really thought, you know, just even more militarizing of our neighborhoods, this is really the actual military. When the National Guard comes in, there will be soldiers walking down the street. So i think people are kind of mixed but i think the majority of people i talked to are worried because they thought this might get out of hand. Woodruff we just heard president obama say in his News Conference that he wants to make sure the National Guard is used in an appropriate and, he said in a limited way. So it sounds like youre saying that would be welcomed by the people there. If it is limited. Yeah, the people who are really for the National Guard and are looking forward to this are really saying even though im looking forward to this, this really needs to be limited. This really needs to be people not just getting tear gassed because they are walking down the street at the wrong time of day. It needs to be that people that are looting, that are really causing the violence, they need to be the ones that the National Guard are arresting and the National Guard are taking into custody. The people, the peaceful protestors say they really want to be left alon and still want to be able to voice their opinion. Woodruff yamiche, how clear is a distinction being made between folks who are protesting who are local residents and those who are coming in from the outside and maybe causing some of these problems . I think there are two very distinct groups. I think there are people that are even coming in from outside of ferguson who are still considered protestors. There are people that are peacefully protesting, that are chanting justice for mike brown. Dont shoot, hands up. There are people that once the curfew was if effect, they would leave am but then there are the looters. And those are the people that actually the protestors are actually clashing with the looters. The protestors are trying to get the looters to go home. Theyre trying to get them to stay away from business. And those looters are the people that are picking up rocks and throwing them at the police, those are the people that are breaking into the local businesses here. So there are two distinct groups and actually two distinct groups that are clashing. Protestors are trying to protect the city in what i saw last night, protestors are really trying to protect the city from looters. Woodruff yamiche, we know are you talking about people all day long while youre there. Reactions youre hearing to the privatelyordered autopsy that was we heard a report on that today. The autopsy that was ordered by the family and also reports that are now starting to come out about the version of what happened on the part of the Police Officer. What are you hearing about all that . People are very, very angry. I think that autopsy really a lot of peoples anger toward the police, people are saying not only did we think he was shot with his hands up, but six times, especially with that pathologist saying that Michael Brown could have survived the first shots but that last shot, that shot to his head was the one that killed him. So people here are really, really up set about that. There was a man here who was trying to order peace, trying to be a peacekeeper. And he said, you know, we really need time to digest that autopsy. So that tells you that even the people trying to keep peace understand the autopsy is really inflaming people. So really people are really up set here. Woodruff and what about the version of the story coming out from the Police Officer . Are you hearing any conversation about that . People are really thinking that the Police Officer is lying. A lot of people are saying that they think that this officer was strategically covered up by his department. They say it took so long for them to release his name t took so long for them to do all these Different Things that they really dont truth any version coming out of the Police Department so a lot of people are saying that they really just dont believe what the police are saying. And thats why they are protesting. They says thats part of the problem. Its not just police brutality, not just people being shot but also the coverup. The idea that the cops are really trying to protect their own. Woodruff and finally, so people are they looking to the Police Department locally to prosecute this . Now that we know the attorney general is coming in, where are people looking now for justice, the next step . Some people trust the local community, some people trust their local prosecutor. They say lets start the process here and see what happens. I think some people are saying, you know, with the local prosecutor can get this done, indict this officer for murder which is what a lot of the protestors here want, then maybe we can trust the process. But i think a lot of people, especially the Community Leaders and the people that have come in from outside, reverend sharpton, Martin Luther king, jr. Say they want to see a federal investigation and a federal prosecution. So i think that there are people, mainly from the outside that i think are starting, we want to try to see if there is a way for the federal government to prosecute. But i think the people locally here are saying lets maybe start here, start in our neighborhood where Michael Brown was kill kd and then maybe we can take this federally if it gets to that point. Woodruff yamiche alcindor, reporter for u. S. A. Today on the ground there in ferguson, missouri. Thank you. Woodruff we turn now to two leaders in the community. Earlier this evening i spoke with former ferguson mayor brian fletcher. And, Missouri State senator maria chapellenadal. Woodruff former mayor fletcher, state senator chappell nadal, we thank you for joining us. I want to ask you first about the governors decision to call in the National Guard. We just heard president obama say he wants that to be a limited use of the guard and in an appropriate manner. Senator chapel nadal, what do you make of the decision to call out the guard. Well, what i would agree to is that we certainly need some order in this community there are certain elements that have come into the ferguson area that are not welcome. We have heard that anarchists have come from across the country to incite negativity in the community. And all ferguson residents, all they want to do is to be able to protest in peace. And we just want to make sure theres order. And we do not have disturbances. We want to make sure that all businesses are safe, and that every single resident is safe as they are protesting and trying to live their lives. Woodruff former mayor brian fletcher, tell me, what is your reaction to calling out the guard to patrol your community. And why do believe its been so hard to bring calm to the area . I dont think anyone quite knows the answer why calm is not coming except a lot of Unanswered Questions at this point. I do believe the National Guard is necessary. We do need the protection of our businesses, during the evening hours. And i think this will help some of the destruction thats occurring in the cities. Woodruff senator chpell chpellenadal, what is your opinion on why if has been so hard to get the situation calm. Frankly i have to go back to what i have been saying since day one, since i have been at ground zero. Governor nixon has not come to ground zero, one or two. And its concerning to its residents who are the victims of the situation. Most of the people here at ground zero are young people who have been intimidated and harassed at any given time. And they all see themselves as a Michael Brown. And because the governor has a disconnect with the community that is most affected, i think he just didnt understand how to go about answering the needs of the community. And instead of leaning on the people who are affected at ground zero, he has relied on folk whs who have no connection to the people who are most impacted. Woodruff . Judy, can i respond to the same question . Woodruff yes. All right, first of all,
