Pelley Omar Villafranca in columbia, South Carolina, thank you, omar. Schoolbased policing is the enforcement, and we asked our jim axelrod to look into the role of cops in schools. Reporter this was last month at Rockdale County high school in conyers, jirgs. Watch as the Police Officer isolated. It does happen. Reporter susan ferris, a reporter for the Nonprofit Center for public integrity, says student behavior that leads to Police Intervention occurs at the rate for of six for every 1,000 students nationwide each year. Virginia has the highest state students. Across the country, there are School Districts that have high rates, while a School District in a neighboring county may not have any referrals at all. The way that officers are used in schools, the kinds of things that they are asked to get involved in or choose to get involved in really zero. Special needs students make up 14 of the student population nationwide, but the referral rate to Law Enforcement is nearly double that. Black and latino kids were also referred to Law Enforcement at rates higher than their percentage of the population. Everything all right . You good . Officer don bridges has worked at Franklin High School near baltimore for more than a decade. What grade are you in now . 12. Reporter he says the key to handling situations like the one in South Carolina is to train officers to be visible and approachable.

But, scott, nasro tells us South Carolina does not allow the group to provide training there. Pelley jim axelrod, jim, thank you. Today, president obama said the media is partly responsible for driving a wedge between police and the public by focusing on the sensational. Mr. Obama told the interNational Association of chiefs of police that Law Enforcement is too often scapegoated for the broader failures of society. Heres our justice correspondent jeff pegues. I reject any narrative that seeks to divide police and communities that they serve. Reporter at a gathering of Police Chiefs in chicago, president obama cautioned against jumping to conclusions about why crime has spiked in some major cities. We do have to stick with the facts. We what we cant do is cherry pick data or use anecdotal evidence to drive policy or to feed political agendas. Reporter that statement appeared to be a response to f. B. I. Director james comey, who spoke at the same event yesterday. Some part of whats going on is likely a chill wind that has flown bloen through Law Enforcement over the last year. Reporter comey suggested cell phone videos of Deadly Police encounters like the arrest of freddie gray in baltimore, could be make Law Enforcement pull back. Are officers reluctant to get work that controls violent crime. Reporter the number of arrests in some cities is down. In orlando, they have declined nearly 10 , in minneapolis more than 15 , and in baltimore, there has been a 34 decrease in arrests. All three industries seen an increase in homicides. In baltimore, murders are up more than 50 over last year. Still, james pasco, of the National Fraternal order of police, says rank and file officers are offended by the f. B. I. Directors comments. Officers have enough stress on them as it is without their actions being second guessed or misinterpreted by high government officials. Reporter the Law Enforcement community has had its disagreements with the obama administration, but today, many of the president s comments were applauded. Scott, he thanked the police today saying the country was safer for thur efforts. Pelley jeff pegues in our washington newsroom. Jeff, thank you.

We dont open our windows. You cant 100 guarantee that were okay. Reporter the Nuclear Waste was illegally dumped in the landfill in the 1970s. It was the byproduct of processing uranium for Americas Nuclear weaponses program. An underground fire has been slowly burning at the landfill for five years. Residents are worried the fire could ignite the nuclear away. We will look at some surface temperatures. Reporter the Environmental Protection agency and the landfill owner, Republic Services, insist thats not true. Are you guys 100 sure that the underground fire will never touch the waste . We are confident that the Bridgeton Landfill is in a managed state. Reporter missouris attorney is not so comfort. He is suing Republic Services saying his excerpts tell him the underground burn could reach the Nuclear Material in three to six months. Ed smith from the nonprofit Missouri Coalition for the environment, says if the underground fire meets the Nuclear Material, he fears an environmental emergency. Its not some wild speculation that if theres a fire, which will disturb the surface of the landfill, that we would see the radioactivity move off site. Reporter just this month the county notified residents of an evacuation plan in case Nuclear Material is released. Dawn chapman say mother other three who lives less than two miles from the landfill. How dare they come out and tell us everythings safe when they dont know what it is or where it is and how much they have.

Trumps second advantage his support is solid. 54 of his backers say they wont change their minds about the billionaire businessman. Only 19 of carson voters are that sure. Trumps current level of voter commitment could prove decisive since so many other candidates are dividing up the remaining votes. Do we love these polls . Somebody said you love polls. Thats because ive been winning every single one of them. Every single poll. Reporter not anymore. Trump is facing the first real decline in support since launching his campaign, and republicans have some deep institutional concerns. 48 believe the federal government is a threat to their life and liberty, while 74 believe the political system is not working, despite g. O. P. Control of the house and senate. This is why conventional politicians like jeb bush, markue rubio, john kasich, and Chris Christie remain mired in single digits. The central dynamic of this race has not changed. Scott, republicans prefer a nonpolitical outsider. What has changed is the personality preference from trump to carson. Pelley major garrett, thanks.
