>> THERE'S BEEN ONGOING PROTESTS IN ST.
LOUIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.
IT IS ABOUT YET ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER WHO GOT AWAY WITH
KILLING A BLACK MAN.
ON TP SEEM TO BE PUTTING A GUN ON THE BODY OF THE PERSON
AFTERWORDS.
THE VICTIM'S DNA WAS NOT ON THE GUN.
HE SAID EARLIER THAT HE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM, AND HE DID.
BUT ONCE AGAIN, NOT GUILTY.
THE COMMUNITY IS OUTRAGED AND THERE HAVE BEEN PROTESTS.
WE COVERED ONE OF THOSE PROTESTS.
WE WERE ON THE SCENE, AND THEY GOT ARRESTED WHICH IS
OUTRAGEOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE IN A ATTACK ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
BUT SHOW YOU A CLIP OF WHEN THAT HAPPENED LIVE.
>> THEY ARE THREATENING TO ARREST THE PRESS HERE AND
THEY ARE ABOUT TO PEPPER SPRAY PEOPLE.
WHY IS HE UNDER ARREST?
WHY IS HE UNDER
ARREST.
HE'S ABOUT TO PEPPER SPRAY ME.
SO THEY ARE ARRESTING IT SEEMS JOURNALISTS WHO COVERED
PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS.
>>SIR, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
PLACE YOUR HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK.
>>WHAT THE POLICE DID THERE WAS THEY PENNED THE PROTESTERS, THE
PRESS, AND THE LEGAL OBSERVERS INTO AN AREA AND THEY DID THREE
LINES SURROUNDING THEM AND DID NOT GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO LEAVE.
THEY ARRESTED THE REPORTERS FIRST ñ ACTUALLY THE CAMERAMEN
FIRST, THEN THE REPORTERS, THEN THE LEGAL OBSERVERS AND
THEN FINALLY THE PROTESTERS.
GEE I WONDER WHY IN THAT ORDER?
JORDAN CHARITON, THE REPORTER
THAT WAS ARRESTED WILL BE LOOKING TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE
SURE THAT IS ADJUDICATED.
HE ASKED THE MAYOR OF ST.
LOUIS ñ THEY PUT OUT A STATEMENT THAT SOUNDS NICE.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO GET RID OF A PROBLEM THAT'S A GOOD
STATEMENT.
YOU CAN SAY IF THERE IS ANOTHER PROTESTS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO
ARREST REPORTERS OR LEGAL OBSERVERS.
YOU CAN ALSO TELL THEM TO NOT HIT PROTESTERS WITH THEIR
SHIELDS OR USED TEAR GAS OR PEPPER SPRAY.
YOU CAN ORDER THEM TO DO ALL THESE THINGS.
SO HE ASKED HER ABOUT THAT, AND THEN PUT OUT ANOTHER STATEMENT.
SHE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY.
HOW ABOUT TELLING THEM NOW ABOUT WHAT NOT TO DO GOING FORWARD.
THEY WILL BE DOING AN INVESTIGATION AND GET BACK
TO THEM ON WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN'T DO.
I DON'T THINK IT IS REMOTELY GOOD ENOUGH.
IF YOU ALLOW COPS TO ARREST MEMBERS OF THE PRESS AND NOBODY
DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
IS A DEEPLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL THING TO DO.
IF YOU ALLOW THE PRESS TO BE ARRESTED DURING THE CIVIL
RIGHTS ERA WE WOULD'VE NEVER SEEN THE PICTURES FROM
SELMA, ALABAMA OR ANYWHERE ELSE.
AND REPORTERS ARE ALSO IN A PLACE WHERE COPS TOLD THEM NOT
TO BE.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN THE COUNTRY SO
YOU CAN DO THINGS LIKE THAT IF YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT.
FIRST THEY REMIND YOU THAT WHEN THE PROTEST FIRST BEGAN, IN HER
FIRST STATEMENT SHE SAID THIS ñ LAW ENFORCEMENT, EACH OF YOU HAS
MY FULL SUPPORT.
THE PROTEST BEGIN, THE COPS OVERSTEP, SHE SAYS NO, THEY
WERE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT.
NOW LET'S GO INTO WHY THAT MIGHT BE THE CASE.
THE WRITER HERE EXPLAINS, NAPOLEON FOR THE ST.
LOUIS
AMERICAN.
TOWN HALLS ARE HAPPENING IN MY INBOX IS NOT A REAL THING.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU ALREADY SENT ME ANGRY EMAILS WHICH I DELETED.
TO BE FAIR, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE DELETES THEM.
BUT CLEARLY SHE DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THOSE
TOWN HALLS TO LISTEN TO HER CITIZENS.
YES, THEY WILL BE ANGRY, BUT YOU ARE THERE MAYOR.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHY THEY ARE
ANGRY.
LET'S FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT.
FOLKS ARE LOSING MONEY, DONORS ACTUALLY.
IT'S ONE THING IF YOU WANT TO PROTEST AND IT DOESN'T COST ANY
MONEY, BUT YOU ARE COSTING MY DONORS MONEY BY THOSE
CANCELED CONCERTS, NOW WE HAVE A REAL ISSUE.
NOT ONE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO DO A TOWNHALL THOUGH.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE GONNA HEAR THIS FROM ME BUT
THINK ABOUT HOW INSANE OUR SYSTEM IS THAT PRIVATE INTERESTS
FINANCE OUR ELECTIONS.
WHO DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO SERVE?
OF COURSE PRIVATE INTERESTS.
IT IS INSANE, WE HAVE TO PUBLICLY FINANCE ALL ELECTION
SO
THERE IS AT LEAST A CHANCE THAT THEY SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
93% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THE POLITICIANS SERVE THEIR
DONORS OVER THERE VOTERS, WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS.
THOSE DONORS GAVE THEM THE MONEY TO WIN.
AND CONGRESS 95% OF THE TIME THE PERSON WITH MORE MONEY WINS.
WHY DO YOU THINK POLITICIANS GO SUCK UP TO THE DONORS?
SO WHEN
THE DONORS COMPLAIN AND SAY I AM LOSING REVENUE HERE AND I HAVE
THE UNIONS AND PR FIRMS AND FINANCE EXECUTIVES ñ WHAT YOU
THINK KREWSON IS GOING TO WORK FOR?
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
IN ST.
LOUIS THIS IS VERY RELEVANT, IT APPEARS TO BE RELEVANT TO
THE MAYOR.
THE REASON WHY A LOT OF THE MAINSTREAM PRESS WANT EVERYTHING
TO GO BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL AND CALL ANYTHING ELSE RADICAL,
THE REASON WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
WANT EVERYTHING TO REMAIN IN THE STATUS QUO IS PEOPLE PROFIT
FROM THE STATUS QUO.
THE RICH AND POWERFUL LOVE THIS SYSTEM BECAUSE THIS IS THE
SYSTEM THAT MADE THEM RICH AND POWERFUL.
THEY DON'T WANT CHANGE, THEY DON'T WANT ISSUES TO BE
ADDRESSED.
THEY MIGHT WANT ISSUES ADDRESSED AROUND THE CORNERS AND
EDGES MAY BE ENOUGH SO YOU HAVE CHANGE ON THE OUTSIDE BUT
CONTINUITY ON THE INSIDE.
MAINLY THEY JUST WANT THE MACHINE GOING JUST LIKE IT
ALWAYS HAS.
SO WHEN YOU DO THOSE PROTESTS, YOU ARE AN ANNOYANCE TO THEM.
GOD BLESS YOUR HEARTS.
WE ARE AMERICANS, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTEST OUR
GOVERNMENT.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTS
US, IT'S CALLED A DEMOCRACY.
WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO DO IT ACROSS THE WORLD.
WE CHAMPION ACROSS THE WORLD.
WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT PRACTICING IT HERE AT HOME, INCLUDING
IN ST.
LOUIS.
YES THE POLICE SHOULD BE TOLD IMMEDIATELY THAT THEY ARE
NOT TO ARREST REPORTERS AND AT PROTEST.
THEY SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER MAYBE PUTTING SOME THOUGHT INTO
WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PROTESTS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND
ADDRESS THAT AS WELL IMMEDIATELY.
YOUNG TURKS.
