WHITFIELD: All right, welcome back. We're now getting our first look at the racist e-mails exchanged between Ferguson, Missouri, city employees. Those e-mails were cited in a federal civil rights inquiry last month. They were released. CNN's ryan young takes a look at the e-mails.</s>RYAN YOUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We get our first chance to look at some of these e-mails for the first time. We're not going to show you all of the e-mails, but we want to show you a few of them. Speaking with the folks in Ferguson, they felt like that the police department and some city officials were racist. Now you get the see the e-mails they were trading back and forth. This first photo shows Ronald Reagan holding a monkey and the caption says, "Rare photo of Ronald Reagan babysitting Barack Obama at early 1962." You can feel the offensive nature by just looking at the photo. It moves on to show more photos. They even target the first lady. You can that a group women we've blurred the top of the photo and then says this was a high school reunion for the first lady. These emails cost three people inside the Ferguson city government to step down. The last e-mail compares dogs to welfare recipients. I'll read part of this e-mail and said "I wanted to get welfare for my dog and they're mixed in color, unemployed and lazy, and can't speak English." And it eventually goes on to say that he was able to get welfare for his dogs. When you look at the three e-mails and talk to people in Ferguson, you obviously understand another debate will be had after some of these e-mails came to light -- Christie and Victor.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, Ryan, thank you so much. All right, still to come, a roadside inferno, an RV engulfed in flames.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Flames out of the back window.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, you'll hear from a Good Samaritan, who ignored the flames to save the people inside.
