we're going to the streets of new york city. but first, why is no one demanding justice for the victims in last week's ferguson protests? what about the store owners whose businesses were destroyed? michael brown's family attorney darryl parks will be here to answer that very question and much more. his reaction to the grand jury verdict in new york and much more tonight on "hannity." i don't care whether you have a ph.d. or an mba. everyone has questions about money. you know, i think about money kind of a lot. -money's freedom. -money's always on my mind. credit cards. -mortgage. -debt. it's complicated. it's not easy. i'm not a good budgeter. unfortunately, i'm a spender. i would love to learn more about finances. so there's questions about the world that all of us have, especially about money and finance. the goal of khan academy and better money habits and the partnership we're doing with bank of america is to give people the tools they need to empower themselves. ♪soft holiday music ]♪ can you help me up?

and it's not all new york city. this is the law enforcementce forcement around the world, basically, but in america that someone would come in. an assassination like this. you're talking about having information about an assassination and could this have been prevented? this is the element of surprise. this guy intended how to kill these guys, what he was going to do and where he was going to do and killed himself. so he had no fear of what he was going to do. it's not impossible to stop these guys, because, you know, you had some kind of evidence ahead of time. but, you know, what could they have done? they're sitting in their car. they're eating. they're from a different presixth. they're all relaxed. how can you prevent something like that. so this is a major, major tragedy of new york city. >> it is, indeed. gill alba, thank you very much for the insight there. >>> in case you're just joining us, the confers is about the assassination of two new york police officers as they sat in their patrol car this afternoon

policing in the city of new york. i'm also calling upon the governor of the state of new york, governor cuomo, to appoint a special prosecutor in cases of egregious police misconduct. so there is an independent prosecutor. local prosecutors rely on the police department for their re-elections. we know there's an inherent conflict with police officers. that's why we need an independent special prosecutor to prosecute cases of police misconduct. last but not least in new york state we need sunshine particularly as it relates to the grand jury proceeding. i'm asking district attorney donovan to release not part, not some but all the grand jury proceedings in this case so the garner family will know why they did not get an indictment. america will not know why we did not get an indictment. because we all saw the video. the video did not lie. our eyes did not lie and the video speaks for itself. it was unreasonable. it was excessive force. just is not perfect. just will be served either on the federal level, in a civil lev

forget about the idea of everybody being welcome here in new york city. this will be a city only for rich people. >> at its root, this is about some luxury dwelling places for a relative handful of people, many of whom don't even live in this country, and they're impacting a park used by 40 million people from around the world every year. that seems to me out of whack so we're going to make noise until we get somewhere. >> the internationalization of new york once meant something actually kind of exotic and exciting and enhanced our diversity. today, internationalization at least on west 57th street and east 57th street and all around midtown manhattan seems to symbolize not diversity but a kind of exclusivity and an end to the sense that we're all in it together, which is the key urban idea. we all meet each other on the sidewalk. we all meet each other in public places. and the urban environment is the common ground that we all share. >> tell us if you've seen some of these forces eroding the common ground where you live. perhaps like some of the people

a grand jury in new york city has decided not to charge a white new york city police officer in the death of an unarmed african-american man. cell phone video captured this incident and garner died after saying repeatedly i can't breathe. tensions are high in new york in the aftermath of the grand jury's decision this afternoon. we've just learned that the nypd just requested that all police officers be removed from non-essential court appearances for the next couple of days. joe johns joins us from the district attorney's office in staten island. joe, what is the nypd doing to mobilize ahead of any potential protests to make sure that we don't see in any of new york's five boroughs what we saw in ferguson last week? >> right now the focus is on potential protests. when i got here to this location there was one guy in a store talking about the need to demonstrate over this issue and we didn't even have a decision from the grand jury at that stage. what the police are telling cnn is that they will mobilize and move officers around as demonstrations develop and there are officers, of course

mayor of new york city. never. it would not have been allowed to control the bridge. people don't get to take a public bridge from the public. i don't know if new york city officials realize, you close down the streets in new york city, you'll kill people. we need two to three minutes to get people to the hospital with a heart attack. you start cutting down the ability of flow through the street, you start diverting police and fire attention, people die. so what hasn't been allowed to go on fosters the sense of anti-police hatred. and that's 1% of the problem! habit the what about the 92% that is causing the death of black men in this country? we can't talk about that? you're racist if you say that? frankly, you are racist if you don't say that. >> so you are, mayor, for a long time, eight years, al sharpton was president of the city running around demagoguing, how does it feel to you to see him, a key white house adviser in the barack obama administration? >> well, for al sharpton to be tearing down the gra

new york city cops are racist. new york city cops are targeting minorities. they don't target minorities. they go into minority communities where the crime is. they reduce crime in those minority communities. >> bo dietl, former nypd detective and fox news contributor. bo, i know this has been a very hard weekend for you and for the entire family of the new york city police department. >> well, first, my heart goes out to the officers and their families. right before christmas and this is just a disaster. like my insides were pulled out. i go back to 1970. jones, foster and lori, bonetti. two cops killed. 13 cops killed in one year. then we had 11. my memories come back. we used to rush to the hospital to give blood. they were dead already. this reminded me of that. the atmosphere, i'm known for my animation here. there is no animation here, down to the facts what is going on. when they have taken two cases from the president, the attorney general and our mayor, taken two cases and made them into racial events when they were not racial events are, they were j

new york's finest will always professionally serve and protect the people of city of the new york. now they have to grow eyes in the back of their head because of murders that occurred on saturday which bring back and conjure up images in the '70s and '80s, when cops were being wholesale slaughtered. that will change perception of their duty and perception of individual they work for. heather: when you saw the police officers turn their backs on new york city mayor de blasio, how did you feel about that? >> well i felt the same as they did. their feeling is -- heather: pretty strong statement. >> it is a very strong statement but no less strong than in the fact their view not only does he have blood on his hand because of his emboldenment and his statements and allowance to let these individual take over at public protests, take over a public bridge and so on, so forth. all of that transformed the police officer in new york, from a noble and gallant figure to a sneering, racist brute. and that was the transmodification that developed as a result of this rhetoric. heather: we're see

pat lynch is a member of the new york city police department. and to bring adverse criticism against the department is grounds for dismissal. he will only be a union president as long as he is a member of the police department. he is still a police officer. i'm sure that mayor bill de blasio is going to sit down with the commissioner and the three of them are going to have to come to terms. i think pat should bring it down because no one in new york -- nobody. my pastor spoke about the officers yesterday in church, and brother ramis, he just completed his chaplaincy training. he goes to a sister church to my church. he was due to get his certification this week. these are not bad guys. they were not part of the problem, they were part of the solution. >> on that note, there is been an attempt by some, especially -- linking what happened with ismaaiyl brinsley to the overall protest, as if the protesters were protesting against police in general rather than specific practices. your reaction to this? >> my mother used to call me when something hap

this is not just a problem in new york city. it is an american problem, an american challenge. >> we've had to talk to daunte for years about the dangers he may face. good young man law-abiding young man would never think to do anything wrong and yet because the history that still hangs over us, the dangers he may face. we've had to literally train him as families have all over this city for decades and how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him. we're not just dealing with a problem in 2014. we're not dealing with years of racism leading up to it or decades of racism. we are dealing with centuries of racism that have brought us to this day. that is how profound the crisis is. >> new york city mayor bill de blasio doubling down today on his claim that racism is a crisis in america and is being seen in these cases out of ferguson and staten island. the mayor going so far as to say he's been worried about the safety of his bi-racial teenage son whenever his son leaves the
