now the people are angry, it's getting spicy and i remember i have a video on youtube, there's an officer who kind of goes you he's got a gun and then someone yells on our side, we all have guns . what now. and it was very interesting because what yourealized is the police stood down in terms of the level of violence . they were willing to bring to the situation sowhen we talk about gun rights , or second amendment rights, that's part of it. that's part of that leveling of the playing field. so people and certainly i come from theprogressive left . i have a lot of friends are like carla, i don't know about half the things you think about . but that's one of the things. with gun rights that we know it's levels the playing field so it changed the energy protest that day. two police kind of stood down. they were there, they were being firm but they had their police dogs but there wasn't this mast rounding up and arresting that i think would have happened had that not been the case. they then took this child who was a 17-year-old boy to the police station. several of our community activists w

[applause] >> john, what do you make of the incredible censorship you're seeing from facebook, youtube and the light especially in medical narratives thatare not part of the mainstream propaganda ? >> my reaction is i refuse to be a victim our site has always been again for affirmative action so facebook wants to limit what's on that site, but it's property and if twitter wants to do the same thing. as we've always felt i believe that if they discriminate against you, they're creating an opportunity. they're creating a market opportunity. what does jeff say to mark your margin is my opportunity . if you're going to discriminate against a certain slice of the marketplace you're creating an opportunity amongst someone to sell unmet need weather is murdoch who didn't act like a victim, he started fox . no whining here . no complaining about what facebook doesn't allow my point of view. personally i think facebook was essential. without and twitter, think of how limited our access to information would have been and did we get all that we wanted ? i have a lot better access thanks to it but

they all go watch a youtube video of somebody being interrogated. have you seen this exact mark in this for our interrogation? >> no, i have not. it was so moving. i think it really captures the kind of work that we have been doing. if you call somebody a monster, if you decide that there is nothing we can do about it and it is just pure evil, it just does not get us closer to solving it. these are students that go to the schools. these are employees of the workplaces. these are people that we see every day. this is actually really hopeful. >> starting to do this research that they were among us. >> i would say no. the motivations for writing the book is that it felt very hopeless, actually, when we first project. doing the research to write the book. we were growing very sick and tired and then the same old explanation being wheeled out. you go into it thinking, well, shortly, someone has realized it must have been said previously. we are just scratching the surface. until you can actually recognize these individuals as human beings which is really
