00:06:31,091 --> 00:06:32,380
See that woman
down there?
176
00:06:32,381 --> 00:06:33,670
She's with
the justice department.
177
00:06:33,671 --> 00:06:34,960
She's gonna oversee
the investigation,
178
00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:36,962
Make sure everything is done
by the book.
179
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:39,831
You said you could get
the attorney general down here.
I know.
180
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:42,801
I did.
But i spoke with him directly...
Do you mind if i ask
who hired you?
181
00:06:42,803 --> 00:06:44,436
...And ms. Ellison
is authorized to handle this.
182
00:06:44,437 --> 00:06:46,070
You now you have
the support and oversight
of the federal government,
183
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:48,039
But you're going
to have to put the gun down now.
184
00:06:48,041 --> 00:06:49,975
Let us take your son
out of the street,
185
00:06:49,977 --> 00:06:52,010
Have him looked at
by the medical examiner.
186
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:53,011
Who hired you?
187
00:06:53,013 --> 00:06:54,880
She's helping me out,
marcus.
188
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:56,181
Helping you
and cashing a check
189
00:06:56,183 --> 00:06:58,884
From the washington
metro police?
190
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:01,820
Impressive. What's the going
rate for playing both sides?
191
00:07:01,822 --> 00:07:03,155
I'm working
to defuse the situation,
192
00:07:03,157 --> 00:07:05,157
To get to the bottom
of what happened,
193
00:07:05,159 --> 00:07:08,093
To give mr. Parker what he wants
without any more violence.
194
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:09,895
Well,
that's your first mistake,
195
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:11,830
Thinking this situation
needs to be defused.
196
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,900
She's telling you
to trust her,
197
00:07:14,902 --> 00:07:16,968
Yet she couldn't deliver on
the only thing she promised you.
198
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:18,804
Mr. Parker, put the gun down
and come with me.
199
00:07:18,806 --> 00:07:20,138
That's the only way
this works.
200
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,941
I brought this for you.
201
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:24,943
Just want you
to be comfortable.
202
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,946
Because if you leave here,
if you put that gun down,
203
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,181
You're giving up
on the only power
204
00:07:29,183 --> 00:07:31,049
You'll ever have
in this situation.
205
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:34,152
And she wouldn't be here
unless you had lots of power.
206
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:35,821
I'm not the enemy.
207
00:07:35,823 --> 00:07:37,055
Are you sure?
208
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,059
Mr. Parker.
209
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:00,979
In case it rains
or something.
210
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:04,015
I want him
to be protected...
211
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:05,951
From the elements.

When will the people

Calling for justice in the wake
of brandon parker's shooting
268
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,061
By police officers
late last evening.
269
00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:31,963
All of this,
of course, happening
270
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,065
Only about a mile away
from the white house.
271
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:36,101
It's clearly a local matter,
and as such,
272
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:38,903
Is being and should be handled
by local authorities.
273
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:40,872
Even though
it's basically happening
274
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:42,941
In the president's
own backyard?
Asked and answered. Carol.
275
00:10:42,943 --> 00:10:45,010
Carol:
Why aren't the police releasing
the shooting officer's name?
276
00:10:45,012 --> 00:10:47,879
I need to say something.
You can't say anything.
277
00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:49,080
I'm getting pummeled
out there.
She's right, cy.
278
00:10:49,082 --> 00:10:50,882
It can't look like
i'm behind the curve.
279
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,050
Anything you say right now
280
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:54,119
Will end up vilifying
law enforcement.
281
00:10:54,121 --> 00:10:55,920
I was on duty.
282
00:10:55,922 --> 00:10:58,857
I, uh, heard
over the radio
283
00:10:58,859 --> 00:11:00,992
That a kid had just shoplifted
a cellphone
284
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:03,161
From a store on ambrose --
street i'm driving on.
285
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:04,679
[ clears throat ]
286
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,196
About 10 seconds later,
i see him walking.
287
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:07,999
How do you know
it's the same kid?
288
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,200
I don't, of course,
not at first.
289
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:11,936
I just see
he's -- he's -- he's got
290
00:11:11,938 --> 00:11:13,905
A cellphone box
in his hand.
291
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,940
Uh, it's sleek.
It's brand-new.
292
00:11:15,942 --> 00:11:17,242
So i call
into the station
293
00:11:17,244 --> 00:11:19,944
To get a description
of the kid --
294
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:22,213
Uh, african-american,
5'10", medium build,
295
00:11:22,215 --> 00:11:25,083
Around 20.
That describes every kid
in the neighborhood.
296
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:26,885
Yeah, that's why
i didn't arrest him.
297
00:11:26,887 --> 00:11:28,953
I-i just -- i just stopped
and asked him where he got it,
298
00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:30,989
And he became hostile.
299
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:34,926
He said, uh,
it was none of my business.
300
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:37,028
You think about calling
for backup then?
301
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,931
Uh, i-i didn't feel
he was dangerous at that point.
302
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:41,900
See, ma'am,
i-it's my job to interact
303
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:43,234
With the people
in this neighborhood.
304
00:11:43,236 --> 00:11:45,236
I-i like to think
i'm pretty good at it.
305
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:47,939
So i just asked the kid
if i could see the box.
306
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:50,075
Next thing i know,
he's -- he's charging at me,
307
00:11:50,077 --> 00:11:52,877
He's -- he's reaching
in his coat pocket for a knife.
308
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,081
And you saw the knife.
309
00:11:57,217 --> 00:12:02,053
And you fired because you
thought your life was in danger.
310
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:03,221
That is the only reason
311
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,256
I would ever discharge
my weapon.
312
00:12:05,258 --> 00:12:09,194
So, what happened to the knife?
Where is it now?
313
00:12:09,196 --> 00:12:12,897
It must be on the boy,
at the crime scene.
314
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:16,000
I called for backup
as soon as i fired.
315
00:12:16,002 --> 00:12:18,103
I was first on the scene.
316
00:12:18,105 --> 00:12:21,272
Jeff was devastated,
just sitting in his car.
317
00:12:24,978 --> 00:12:30,949
I just can't stop thinking
about my own kids, ms. Pope.
318
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:36,955
How i would be feeling right now
if i were that boy's father.
319
00:12:38,925 --> 00:12:41,159

From all of the businesses
on ambrose.
323
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,236
See if you can find footage
that corroborates
324
00:12:51,238 --> 00:12:53,071
Officer newton's story.
Which is...?
325
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:55,240
He had to shoot brandon parker
because he feared for his life.
326

Huck: On it.
327
00:12:56,977 --> 00:12:59,911
What's his name?

00:12:59,913 --> 00:13:02,013
The cop who gunned down
brandon parker.
329
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:08,119
You know why you're here, right?
You know why they chose you.

[ chuckles ]
331
00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:10,889
Give us the cop's name.
332
00:13:10,891 --> 00:13:12,891
Help us get justice.
You don't want justice.
333
00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:15,026
You want anger.
You want outrage.
334
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:16,227
You want retribution.
335
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:19,931
Huh.
336
00:13:19,933 --> 00:13:22,901
You're right.
I do.
337
00:13:22,903 --> 00:13:24,102
So should you.
338
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:26,037
That is a father.
339
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,239
That is his dead son.
340
00:13:28,241 --> 00:13:30,909
This is not your stand
to make, marcus.
341
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:31,976
This isn't a platform.
342
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,111
You're not auditioning

To become america's
next great black activist.
344

If this erupts,
345
00:13:35,949 --> 00:13:38,149
If a father is gunned down
right next to his son,
346
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,151
Will you be able to sleep
at night?

00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,887
Nice purse.
What?
348
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:43,977
Prada?
349
00:13:43,978 --> 00:13:45,066
What's your point?
350
00:13:45,067 --> 00:13:46,155
Probably worth a year's rent
at my place,
351
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,026
'cause i live
right around the corner.
352
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:50,028
This block,
these people are home.
353
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:51,129
Uh-huh.
354
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:52,229
We live in the same city,
olivia,
355
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:53,965
But this is probably
the first time
356
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,099
You ever stepped foot
on this block.
357
00:13:55,101 --> 00:13:56,267
Probably never been
to this neighborhood
358
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:57,969
Except to get grits
from reggie's
359
00:13:57,971 --> 00:13:59,170
Or chicken and greens
off of wade street.
360
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:01,072
You have no idea
what i'm about.
361
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:04,042
You're about getting a white
republican president elected --
362
00:14:04,044 --> 00:14:06,528
Twice.
363
00:14:06,529 --> 00:14:09,013
Excuse me if i don't buy
you're a real down-ass chick.
364
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:12,116
Big picture --
you and i want the same thing.
365
00:14:12,118 --> 00:14:16,154
You're just taking the path
of most resistance to get there.
366
00:14:16,156 --> 00:14:17,222
It's not smart.
367
00:14:17,224 --> 00:14:19,123
We don't want
the same thing.
368
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:21,059
You want to put it to bed
quietly,
369
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:22,978
Tell everyone on the hill
370
00:14:22,979 --> 00:14:24,896
That you came down to the hood
and you saved us.
371
00:14:24,898 --> 00:14:26,498
No thanks, olivia.
372

Your black card's
not getting validated today.

00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:41,246
As tension continues to mount
in the standoff between police
374
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:44,182
And the father of slain
black teenager brandon parker,
375
00:14:44,184 --> 00:14:45,734
Bnc has learned the name
376
00:14:45,735 --> 00:14:47,285
Of the officer
involved in the shooting --
377
00:14:47,287 --> 00:14:49,954
Jeffrey newton,
a 32-year-old
378
00:14:49,956 --> 00:14:51,506
Decorated 9-year veteran
379
00:14:51,507 --> 00:14:53,057
Of the washington
metro police department.
380
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:55,059
It's unclear
why newton's identity
381
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:56,644
Was withheld by the police.
382
00:14:56,645 --> 00:14:58,228
Calls for comment
have gone unanswered.
383
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:00,131
They're turning parker
into a hero,
384
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:01,583
And we look like the enemy.
385
00:15:01,584 --> 00:15:03,034
These so-called
neighborhood activists,
386
00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:04,569
They're not helping.
387
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,103
Next thing you know,
there's gonna be a riot.
388
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:07,138
Press will eat that up.
389
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:08,172
They want a riot.
390
00:15:08,174 --> 00:15:09,941
No, before it goes too far,
391
00:15:09,943 --> 00:15:12,944
I'm clearing out this mob
and shutting this thing down.
392
00:15:12,946 --> 00:15:14,012
I'm gaining control.
393
00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:15,080
I get it.
394
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:16,147
The other side
threw a good punch,
395
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:18,149
You're bruised,
but if you strike back,
396
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:21,986
If you start a fight,
you're just the bully.
397
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:24,222
There is a dead child
lying in the street
398
00:15:24,224 --> 00:15:26,024
In front of their homes.
399
00:15:26,026 --> 00:15:28,927
What would you do
if there was a dead child,
400
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:31,262
A child you knew,
lying in the street
401
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:33,097
In front of your home?
402
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:34,933
The fact
that they stand in groups
403
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:37,101
And say things you do not like
does not make them a mob --
404
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:38,403
It makes them americans.
405
00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:39,704
You hired me
to tell you what to do.
406
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:41,306
I'm telling you --
do nothing.
407
00:15:49,049 --> 00:15:51,149
You found his name
and leaked it.
408
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:53,184
That was low.

Hello!

Ah.

I'm from virginia.

Oh, susan,
it's so nice to see you.

Thanks.
417
00:16:12,588 --> 00:16:14,204
Uh, i've been thinking a lot
about vaccination protocols.

Oh. [ chuckles ]
419
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:18,142
Just, uh,
take the measles.
420
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,978
When you get sick
with the measles,
421
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:22,146
It confers lifelong immunity
from getting measles again --
422
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:23,598
Assuming you didn't die.
423
00:16:23,599 --> 00:16:25,049
But unlike
when you actually get sick,
424
00:16:25,051 --> 00:16:26,584
When you get a vaccine,
425
00:16:26,585 --> 00:16:28,118
You need booster shots
to keep your immunity up.
426
00:16:28,121 --> 00:16:30,088
Now, there's a whole population
of people out there
427
00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:31,990
Who think they're protected,
but they're not.
428
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:34,192
That is a shame.
It is.
Take genital warts.

Because i can't sleep.

Three miles from my hotel,
clarence parker is sitting

Over the body of his son,
brandon.

Those of you who know me
and voted for me

Already know my story.
What is this, cy?
438
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:58,116
Just keep watching.
But there's a part of it
439
00:16:58,118 --> 00:17:00,718
I-i don't spend a whole lot
of time talking about.
440
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,286
It's the part
when i was growing up
441
00:17:02,288 --> 00:17:04,722
And i saw
how my parents were treated,
442
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:06,724
How they had their paychecks
stolen from them,
443
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:08,827
How they knew people
444
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:10,929
Who had been beaten to death
in the fields,
445
00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:13,031
And the police never did
anything about any of it
446
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:16,267
Because they were from mexico,
so they didn't matter.

00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:18,736
So i want to say
to clarence parker
448

And all those communities
in this country

Where the police make you feel
like you don't matter,

We all matter --

Yes, but you also
made a promise

At the beginning
of this term
460
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:46,097
To be the best damn president
you could be.

This is the future
of our party.

871
00:37:03,789 --> 00:37:08,225
Of course you do.
You know more than anyone.
872
00:37:08,227 --> 00:37:09,826
See?
873
00:37:09,828 --> 00:37:12,963
This is why you don't want me
to be vice president.
874
00:37:12,965 --> 00:37:17,867
I'm terrible at this,
at talking to people
875
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:20,337
And not saying
what i'm thinking at all times.
876
00:37:20,339 --> 00:37:22,239
I think
we could probably use
877
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:23,940
A little more of that
around here.
878
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:25,642
Now [claps hands]
879
00:37:25,643 --> 00:37:27,343
Tell me about
this vaccination plan of yours.

David:
Tonight, officer jeffrey newton
882
00:37:34,353 --> 00:37:37,287
Was arrested
for altering evidence,
883
00:37:37,289 --> 00:37:39,856
Perjury,
and filing a false report.
884
00:37:39,858 --> 00:37:42,325
He and fellow officer
edward brennan
885
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:46,930
Have also been charged with
conspiracy to obstruct justice.
886
00:37:46,932 --> 00:37:48,965
In light of these charges,
887
00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:51,001
The justice department,
under my supervision
888
00:37:51,003 --> 00:37:52,869
And with the full cooperation
889
00:37:52,871 --> 00:37:54,971
Of metro police chief
lawrence connors,
890
00:37:54,973 --> 00:37:57,841
Will open an independent
federal investigation
891
00:37:57,843 --> 00:37:59,976
Into the washington, d.C.,
police force.
892
00:37:59,978 --> 00:38:02,912
But even given these actions,
i don't stand up here
893
00:38:02,914 --> 00:38:05,048
Pretending justice
has been served tonight.
894
00:38:05,050 --> 00:38:09,052
Brandon parker
is still gone.
895
00:38:09,054 --> 00:38:14,024
¶ ...Who put me here ¶
896
00:38:14,026 --> 00:38:16,893
This is what brandon
was reaching for.
897
00:38:16,895 --> 00:38:20,797
This is what
was in his pocket --
898
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:25,869
The receipt
for his new cellphone.
899
00:38:25,871 --> 00:38:30,774
You were right.
He didn't have a knife.
900
00:38:30,776 --> 00:38:33,843
He had a piece of paper.
901
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:40,817
The officer who shot your son
is behind bars.
902

¶ they say ev'ry man must fall ¶
905
00:39:06,945 --> 00:39:11,448
¶ so i swear
i see my reflection ¶
906
00:39:15,087 --> 00:39:20,924
¶ somewhere inside these walls ¶
907
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:27,797
¶ i see my light come shinin' ¶
908
00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:30,867
No one is going to arrest you,
mr. Parker.
909
00:39:32,904 --> 00:39:34,371
Let's go.

Where are we going?
914
00:40:00,132 --> 00:40:02,899
This isn't my neighborhood.
915
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:04,901
¶ yonder stands a man
in this lonely crowd ¶
916
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:08,004
No, it's not.

he's not to blame ¶

David:
Tonight, a young man's potential
was cut tragically short.
920
00:40:23,054 --> 00:40:26,089
Another american community
is looking for answers,
921
00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:28,825
And another father is knowing
922
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:31,928
The unbearable pain
of losing a child.
923
00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:34,898
Jack, please.
Give us a moment.
924
00:40:36,835 --> 00:40:38,868
Mr. Parker.
925
00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:41,938
I am so sorry
for your loss.
926
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:44,140
Please...
927
00:40:44,142 --> 00:40:48,144
Call me clarence.
928
00:40:48,146 --> 00:40:53,149
My son's name was...
929
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:55,985
Brandon.

¶ yonder stands a man

Ours is a country of laws,
934
00:41:14,072 --> 00:41:17,807
But those laws
failed brandon parker tonight.
935
00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:20,009
And i can only hope
in the weeks ahead,
936
00:41:20,011 --> 00:41:22,078
We can begin
to understand why.
