and what we saw it from this is that they also violated the rights of those who were critical of policing, how they failed to respond to the sexual assault calls and domestic violence. so garland really said the police department failed to protect and serve, and what they did was created this mistrust in the community that is so necessary for successful policing.— community that is so necessary for successful policing. meanwhile, not far awa in successful policing. meanwhile, not far away in memphis, _ successful policing. meanwhile, not far away in memphis, we've - successful policing. meanwhile, not far away in memphis, we've got - far away in memphis, we've got another doj inquiry opening up. there were supposed to be more of that video footage, the police footage from the death of tyree nichols, the black man who was beaten to death by police. but i think there was an injunction which delayed that — but still, the doj thinks there is a case to make against the department? gas, and in fact, memphis _ against the department? gas, and in fact, memphis was _ against the department? gas, and in fact, memphis was the _ against the department? gas, and in fact, memphis was the one - against the department? gas, and in fact, memphis was the one who - against the department? gas, and in. fact, memphis was the one who asked for the doj to look at some of their
a joint statement of condemnation. local representatives have expressed people's revulsion at what happened. people are just dumbfounded why this happened in our local community. there's no place for violence here in 0magh, and here this morning, we have political leaders and community representatives standing strong and united with one message, that we condemn it. when we got to know who the victim was and we know the person - so personally and known him - for so many years, there's a great sense of shock and anger. and the westminster government was swift to speak out. everybody in the policing community and actually the community of 0magh is completely shocked by this because society has moved on in northern ireland. there is no place for violence like this. it's almost 25 years since the peace agreement which largely ended the conflict in this part of the uk, but in 0magh today, there are disturbing echoes of the past.
called for those responsible to be brought tojustice. the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, has been speaking about the shooting in the last hour. it was a cowardly and callous attack that happened last night. a very senior and well—known local police officer is now in a critical condition in hospital. and our thoughts are with him and his family. and everybody in the policing community and, actually, the community of 0magh is completely shocked by this, because society has moved on in northern ireland. there is no place for violence like this. are you concerned about the safety of psni officers in light of this event? well, i'm always concerned about safety of psni officers, but they are completely professional. and in all my experiences with them, they know exactly what they're doing and actually are policing the communities of northern ireland really effectively and very, very well. but this is a really significant event. it's a very serious event,
examining what we're all as a nation going to see tonight. what are you looking for in this? >> good evening, neil. good evening to the viewers. what i'm going to look for is what actually happened. transparency is something that is necessary in providing what police do to the public. because it increases their policing community relationship. at the same token, my focus is going to be was this a reasonable action committed on the part of the officers. all senses tell me that was unreasonable based on what the officers did. as a result, they were fired. what are we going to do moving forward? are we going to have riots to fortify or city or have a conjoined partnership with the policing community to protest peacefully. >> neil: i'm just curious, all of these officers were fired.
were victims and there were kids they were able to get out of the classroom. that's consistent with our colleague, kerry sanders' reporting. now, you have to ask the natural question. if this shooter was killed earlier, would more children be alive today? i think that's the bottom line. there are serious questions about this, not just coming from you, myself, from people that are watching this, but also from the policing community. speaking of former chiefs yesterday who were trained -- excuse me -- trained people in this, that were responsible for officers that would go into these types of situations. i think they find the response to be extremely troubling. those are the types of words they're using with me. there is no school of thought currently in u.s. law enforcement, and this does go back to columbine as sam referenced, but particularly because now we've had so many of these incidents and so many of these incidents have been
lives or works in the city. so clearly we have a staffing resource issue that's being exacerbated by this issue. >> "the washington post" is reporting the georgia police chief has implemented a new shoot to incapacitate program that is a departure of police training. the idea to be to reduce fatal police shooting. but there's been some blowback from within the policing community. what do you think about that? >> yeah, i haven't really examined it fully, but i can say that. traditional training is that it's very difficult to shoot to maim. if you've decided that the situation involves a deadly force response, then in all likelihood, that's what you need to do. and if it doesn't require a deadly force response, then use
don, i was adamantly against defunding the organization as proposed by city council, and i talk about that extensively in the book. but also, you know, with limited resources, if they lose another anywhere from 5 to 15% of the officers because of refusal for vaccination, they really can't afford to lose people at this time. and it really will undermine public safety for everyone who lives or works in the city, so clearly we have a staffing resource issue that's being exacerbated by this issue. >> "the washington post" is reporting the georgia police chief has implemented a new shoot to incapacitate program, that is a departure from the traditional police training of center mass, the idea to reduce fatal police shootings. there's been some blowback within the policing community. what do you think about that? >> yeah, i haven't really examined it fully, but i can say
code of ethics for the way police officers should behave so i think what is important is when people fail to reach those standards, which sadly they will do, it is really important that those issues are dealt with appropriately and that's why i think the elements that undoubtedly will get picked up not only in the work we are doing but also in the inquiry will be looking at those and how professional standards issues are dealt with. ethic it's really incumbent on me and other senior police leaders to ensure that when those issues are present they are called out and that people feel confident to call those issues out which does happen. but undoubtedly that is an issue that has to be looked at as part of the broader inquiry. lemme put to the comments i wasjust broader inquiry. lemme put to the comments i was just raising with jamie, the former chief cost of nottingham, a very prominent member of the policing community, has said that the, she would not think twice
