Week In The News: Ferguson, Iraq And Remembering Robin Williams (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Explosive anger, sorrow and maybe a little catharsis this week over deadly force in Ferguson, Missouri and shocking scenes of the gross militarization of American police.  This story’s not over.  In Iraq, US special forces on the ground, sizing up a crisis.  More US bombing, and a new Iraqi leader.  From Russia, a convoy on the move to Ukraine.  In Africa, Ebola now moving on an unprecedented scale.  We’re in new territory.  And at home, a national outpouring over the death of Robin Williams.  This hour On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
