This time in Kenosha, Wisconsin were Jacob Lake was shot in the back multiple times by police in the days since the streets are filled with demonstrators and police. Once again have used less lethal weapons against them.

What about so-called rubber bullets lately, but for all the wrong reasons people are going to be injured. That's that's what these missions do is inevitable, it's inevitable. Increasingly, those getting injured or violent.

I don't see a way to use these weapons in any safe way that protects both human rights and health lethality. Leslie full crowd control, hit something with Chip Reed beneath the waves creatures are much to find expression animal attraction there, graceful, smart, and very unusual really have to go to outer space to come up with someone more different than this. They say this is like being kissed by an alien and very are right ahead on Sunday morning.

Andy Giles tells us about the nation's newest remake the return the drive-in theater Martha patient offers up a taste of summer core plus Rita Braverman Steve Hartman commentary from historian John Meacham and a lot on this last Sunday morning of August 2020 will be right back summer of unrest in a number of cities across the country and just how and when police use so-called less lethal force is a topic of much debate as we report in our cover story the demonstrations in Kenosha, Wisconsin streets, in the name of Jacob Lake started as most protests do peaceful, but his day turn tonight simmering tension lost the mess balancing the right to assemble with public safety when control the weapons at their disposal are designed to be less but in the weeks of unrest since the death of George Lloyd not just violent targeted being background from to projectile the ring injured as well take this protest in Fort Lauderdale, Florida-year-old Latoya Ratliff was it peaceful there were any issues for the most part of the day, but something tree. She wasn't sure just what the time, but clearly the mood shift. We were kneeling on the ground a good distance away from the officers were kneeling and chanting and being peaceful time we start crowd dispersed toward term wearing a pink backpack watch what happens next to it was shot in the head by a 40 mm phone tip fire returns as my Fort Lauderdale police officer. The impact fractured Latoya's skull. She needed 20 stitches and I remember people screaming and saying help. She's been here it's called 911 in my mind. I'm not thinking that I was shot because why would the officer shoot me.

I'm not posing any type of threat to him and I'm actually leaning versions not unique isolate. I didn't realize how big of a deal it was, until there is late surgeons around me with the Toronto is a freelance journalist sent to cover the George Lloyd protests in Minneapolis. Veteran is gun reporting. She was in Ferguson Missouri back in 2014 after another police kill this one of Michael Brown.

There's a space where the protesters are gathered in a group and police are gathered in their line and the people who are in between and not going to be needed, not how you get thy understanding of what's going on is used standing you watch beside that's what she was doing in Minneapolis that night. This is the last photo she took appears to show an officer aiming directly at I think that I not shooting people in the face for exercising. The first thing we fixed about the Constitution should just be standard operating procedure. The nonlethal round shot Linda that night blinded her in her left eye sees her bowel here I and everything costs, everything from here to here is just I blank I'm assured that as I become used to having one. I'll be able to do all the things I used to do without it being a problem. But lately getting used to only having one eye is not a small task to be sure.

Police have been injured in the protest to more than 50 on one particularly violent night is often necessary family. Leslie, the weapons, in 2017. Review of the available literature on the subject was published in the medical journal BMJ open the nearly 2000 people since 1990 documented to have been injured by less lethal rounds, 300 suffered permanent disability, 53 of them die there large dense high-speed projectile and they cause significant and severe injuries. Dr. Rohini heart is with physicians for human rights and one of the authors of that review the basic rights like free speech and free assembly are being suppressed globally and the primary way that that's happening is because of crowd control weapons just the first week after the death of George Lloyd Carr documented at least 100 serious injuries to protesters and journalists. Most to the head and neck. The narrative and that they're not lethal they're not dangerous that police need a continuum of use of force, and that these are really excellent options for them to be safe while at the same time controlling riots and that's not the case it's absolutely not the case. While most Police Department have access to Leslie. The weapons experts say fewer offered any significant training on just how to use our talk agencies. We never see crowd control before we didn't even know what to do, is a 40 mm impact munitions Travis Norton is an instructor with the California Association of tactical officer specialized Leslie, the weapons not only how to use them. But when how you deal with a group of agitators in the middle of peaceful protesters. There are a lot of different tactics you can use. Unfortunately a lot of those departments don't know what those tactics are what we trying to accomplish with what were trying to do or we just enter in your skirmish line and going impact munitions that the protesters will be no go. Where do we have an exit strategy. Rules of engagement.

He says have to be set because the risk of injury is almost inevitable. Unlike live ammunition. Less lethal projectiles are unpredictable, where an officer aims and where the munitions hit can be two different things. Law enforcement screaming for something better for us to use this author in the last 20 years we have had no new, less lethal come out other than prototypes and pilot projects until something better comes along. He says, less lethal, likely remain crowd control option for Police Department doesn't have to remain is the clap around their use.

A lot of times what happens when one forces these things will happen and we just forget about them because were on to the next emergency is not purposeful is just would have a lot of time to reflect on things have to be better despite her injuries kept demonstrating peaceful protest is in her DNA literally. Fannie Lou Hamer, a hugely influential civil rights leader back in the 1960s is Latoya's great aunt G2 was bloodied in her battles. Less lethal munitions were meant to be a step for from those dark days like the fight for civil rights itself. Network is not all it was always hot to me early on that if you want to see change. If you want to see good in your community that you have to be a part of it.

I do think it's important to continue to participate because they're still so much change the join us for a drive down memory lane taking a summer pastime and Nancy Giles tells us, is making a comeback and called Geisinger was just 17 years old when he started working at Shank Whalers drive-in theater in Orfield Pennsylvania. I hated driving with a passion even told his manager he wasn't going to stay long I was going to give him two weeks and is now 2020, Paul and his wife Susan ended up running the place now considered America's oldest operating drive-in people think, now with their children came in, her grand parents and their parents is like three or four generations Shank Whalers opened in 1934 modeled after the very first drive-in that lit up Camden, New Jersey. The year before they were over 4000 drive-ins across the country in the 50s that numbers weighed 305 last year.

Unfortunately, the land is worth more and most likely is a lot of places worth more than what driving business is worth. It seemed drive-ins were parked only on memory lane until this year with the pandemic.

How has that changed things. Is that revitalized people's interest in a way on this date. This thing a lot a lot of people that have never before have been coming out and has worked out very very well.

We truly and very, very fortunate these days because the coronavirus and social distancing shut down nearly all indoor entertainment going to a drive-in may be just the ticket affect without being overly social and that's what it's all about drive-in movie before you what's old is new again, only drive-ins just off the interstate highways like they used to be like this wide-open waterfront in Brooklyn, New York.

Normally a backdrop for filming blockbusters. Now the property has been screening blockbusters every night since June and in other New York City burros rooftop films nonprofit used to showing independent movies on well rooftops turned to drive-ins after film festivals were canceled this year. 60% of our program is new independent films and those of the movies that really would have no way to be seen whatsoever. If not for what were doing so is the artistic director like a really pleasant can we can all enjoy movie while Virginia traffic jam right so get the picture. Drive-ins are back big time popping up and also to places from parking lots and shopping centers to restaurants where they serve more than just pop corn to the option. Even the retail giant Walmart free films outside hundred and 60 of their stores like this is an Siri and Ayana Morris of Newark, New Jersey, saw their chance with this old demolished baseball stadium, or rather saw a need I wanted. Now don't project your love these new pop-ups back at Shank Whalers in Pennsylvania. Welcome to our drive-in. Called Geisinger is the purest really want to experience a driving nexus. Just my opinion sitting in the middle of McAdam parking lot just doesn't sometimes many of the pop up say they'll stay open long after summer, even as indoor theaters slowly return was so who knows drive-ins might not fade to black. After all, progress and crazy time once final point is when people in the best way to protect people is to final season Millstream August is just about time to enjoy the great taste of some court action or is our reporter in the field. The Lawrenceburg Illinois corn Festival was more corn than festival this year due to covert, 19 usual big-name but there was, which after all is the point at some might say the point of summer range is briefly so on. Corn is certainly the point of summer at the harms family farm in Manitowoc on New York's Long Island. That's a lot of where you can buy it by the dozen, with the social take-home or you can stick around roasted and have you ever had corn ice cream got big pieces of corn.

I really, in 1989 and harms 12th generation farmer and his wife Monica decided raising sweetcorn was a better way to support each kids and potatoes and switched. This is truly the farm corn now farm experience several thorny things to do, including corn mazes in the fall.

Some people this one suspense lecture, and the country have some comfortable with their family spend an hour to an the harms family farm produces a million years of sweet season.

Impressive. Here's another number 92 million acres in area nearly the size of Montana. That's how much corn is planned nationwide. Only about 1% of it sweetcorn. The rest is field: mainly used for animal feed ethanol or as a sweetener sublease five or 6000-year-olds.

Corn was domesticated by the peoples of Mesoamerica from its wild ancestor tailspin today, which looks like this.

Now look at corn the cornerstone not only of Mexico's cuisine, but of its history methodology and art holding 3000 years of history Mexican entrepreneur Francisco Lucy and his partners tracked down a few dozen farmers who still grow increasingly scarce traditional varieties of corn on tiny plots throughout Mexico. They started to mow, hoping that by selling this corn to restaurants around the world. They could improve the farmers lives and convince them to continue raising it corn fits in as the backbone to the rest just in mesenteric co-owners show Moco a Michelin starred Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn developed corn is ground, then this Moshe Joe called Masa is formed into tortillas so we take a fresh corn additive with all those ingredients is out there and live spread out on the cheese if only you could smell the smells, as Derek is creating his corn on corn version of a street snack called it's like we had our hot sauce. We try to maple flavor explosions of things, may I as my father always used to say will still have to sacrifice myself is really good to do it for Steve Hartman story of a very special ceremony. Joe and Sharon course of Raleigh, North Carolina just celebrated 63 years of wedded bliss and mark the milestone Joe gave his bride. One of the best anniversary presents all the things that he could have done that was probably meaningful. I love you to fully appreciate the gift you first need to hear the song you will there saw Kenny Rogers to: all that you could use Joseph Sharon on birthdays and anniversaries so many other occasions that eventually friends and family memorized and Teresa Estrada as their daughter. He is the number one thing in life and singing that song was the latest thing Teresa says was the way to St. Joe recently suffered two strokes which left them at a terrible loss for language will have trouble calling my wife and children stay so you lost the song you so I just excepted it and didn't really think about this test number three and mostly unbeknownst to Sharon. Joe had been working hard to rescue their song whenever line came back to the hospital. He jotted down in a notebook and listen to the melody on the loop. I wanted to relearn to give it to my wife like he always did all that sounds the best anniversary present turned out to be the same anniversary present is always socially now in full swing this morning from historian John Meacham's new book about the late Congressman John Lewis is called his truth is marching on. In the months before he died. John Lewis contributed an essay to conclude a book that I was writing about him. It is in a sense his last testament, one that like John himself looks forward, not backward. He wrote there are forces today in America trying to divide people along racial lines. There are forces today that are still preaching hate and division their forces today that one is to return to the old ways to lose ground to take our eyes off the prize.

It makes me sad for we don't want to go back. We want to go forward and create one community, one America John Robert Lewis died in July same to press forward in his spirit is an easy, just look around murderous shootings of black men by police. Violent protests in American cities righteous fury at the existing order, but uncertainty about how to respond and seek reform. John Lewis would understand 1963 March on Washington in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial. John Lewis deplored patient. He wanted freedom now. He didn't want to burn America. He wanted to rebuild it as he said in the image of God and democracy. It was the noblest of goals, and Lewis knew, as we must know that the single greatest form of nonviolent protest is the vote, the right, for which he fought and bled and nearly died. And so we must exercise that sacred privilege with care and vigilance is the least we can do for John Lewis in the most we can do for ourselves. Lewis was hopeful to the end and he always led by love. He wrote I think there's something brewing in America is going to bring people closer and closer together. Adversity can breed unity, hatred can give way to love the leadership of love how wonderful that would be in leadership in a democracy is as much a function of our hearts and minds yours and mine, as it is a presidents in the last lines drawn wrote when I was growing up there was a song that people would sing in the church. You have to believe that you have to believe it. It's all going to work out as ever. John Robert Lewis was right, but it will only work out. If we speak up, speak out and vote.
