Card image cap



and good evening. i'm erin burnett, out front on this friday night. baltimore police say they are focusing on what happened inside the van after freddie gay was arrested. late today the police commissioner admitting his officers made major mistakes. >> we know he was not buckled in the transportation wagon as he should have been. no excuses for that, period. we know our police employees failed to give him medical attention in a timely manner multiple times. >> obviously major admissions there. the police officer also released the picture you are looking at here. they are focusing in on the witness. all right, so they say the arrest is happening on the right but what they want you to look at is the man standing alone in the middle of the street. they say he was filming it. they don't have that footage. they want to question the man. bus loads of out of town protesters joining what organizers promise is a protest that will shut the city down. brian todd is out front tonight. he's in baltimore again. and brian, a major admission from the police department tonight. he's saying no excuse for not being buckled in. >> reporter: we have new details about his arrest that come from the commissioner anthony bats. he gave us a new time line with critical new details detailing when he was picked up at this corner here. this is a makeshift memorial to him. after they picked him up they took him around this corner. the new details come regarding what happened right after that. >> we see mr. gray enter into the vehicle able to talk move stand on his left foot. i'm told he was able to enter the van at that point in time. we see mr. gray or camera by another citizen getting out. they are able to put the leg shackles on him. he's able to move and talk at that given point in time. mr. gray is talking there. >> another new detail we learned is that mr. gray after he was apprehended and before he was put in the van might have had medical issues then. he should have received medical attention after the foot chase that ended just a short distance from here and before he was put in the van. and there's no word exactly why he didn't get that medical attention or what that exact issue was. we know he asked for an inhaler at some point before he was put in the van but for the first time he should have gotten medical attention before he entered the van. >> those are major admissions. the commissioner has been very, very quiet. obviously those are significant admissions tonight. i want to go straight to an attorney for the family. you just have heard that the police commissioner i know earlier this week when you and i spoke, you were frustrating and angry at not getting a lot of information. now you're saying there is no excuse for the fact that he didn't have a seat belt in the back of the van. multiple times he asked for help and they made mistakes in not obtaining that help for them. is this enough that he is coming out and making those admissions for you? >> well it's certainly a step in the right direction. it's certainly a step towards acknowledging the truth that the police did not follow they own internal regulations with regard to strapping mr. gray with a seat belt when he was inside the van. what it does not get at is it does not get at the core of this case and that is why did mr. gray need medical attention in the first place? that's the core and the question that still has not been answered. that's the question we're looking for. >> that is the core question. the answer to that is when you find out if there's a criminal act here. so let me just ask you about that. because they did go through the police commissioner went through the events at least their time line and part of it they are using to defend some of their actions. they said yes, we made mistakes but then they said right before gray was arrested he was talking to police. he was moving implying he was okay. they said the van stopped at one point. gray got out of the van on his own at that time. then it stopped for a third time. they say mr. gray was talking when he asked for a medic. they're using all of that to bolster the case that he was functioning. we know it took 25 minutes for medical help to arrive. they are admitting there were major mistakes. but is it possible that whatever happened to mr. gray was a result of his own actions in that van or prior and not because of police misconduct? >> absolutely not. there is absolutely no credible explanation for mr. gray receivering his own spinal cord. it just didn't happen. it defies common sense that he was able to sever his own spinal cord with such force. what makes much more sense is the fact that the police officers in this case have suggested or actually explicitly stated that mr. gray was arrested without force and arrested without incident and that does not jell with the video. what makes more sense is that there was some force and something used during the arrest and we certainly don't know what happened inside of the van. we know that it defies common sense that he severed his own spine. >> police have repeatedly referred to an autopsy that they had conducted and showed no force was used against him and he was not bruised. my understanding, please correct me if i'm wrong but the family has had a chance to have their own autopsy done. do you have any results from that or is there a reason you haven't released results from that autopsy? >> well the independent autopsy has to necessarily rely on the fact that the first entity to receive custody of mr. gray's body was the state of maryland and the office of the chief medical examiner here in the state of maryland. any independent needs to rely on the fact that they are in possession of all of the information with regard to the condition of mr. gray's body when it first arrived in their custody and we need that information. >> so you're saying you have an autopsy but you're not releasing it because you're not confident in the results because you need more information from them? >> no i'm not saying that we're not confident in the results because we certainly do not have results because we don't have all of the information and the reason we don't have all of the information is because the state has not given it to us at this point despite the fact that we have requested. >> it's good to talk to you again sir. as i said the attorney for freddie gray's family. paul what do you make of what jason has to say? this is going to come down to the autopsies. he's saying they don't have enough information to complete a fair autopsy. >> the autopsy is going to be a critical piece of information. he is correct. you don't break your own spine. they don't have the official results of the state autopsy for their doctor to look at. he needs to know when the body was cut and when the preliminary findings were made so that he can compare them to the condition of the body when the second autopsy was done. this is correct. you need all the facts. >> something could have changed in terms of the condition of the body itself as a body. okay. i understand what you're saying. there are some that would say the police keep saying their autopsy says no bruising. you have an autopsy where are you results. >> i don't think he's hedging. he needs the complete facts before his doctor can reach a conclusion. >> let me ask you a question about what's going to happen to the officers. we know they have given statements. police are admitting there were mistakes made. but that's not the same as an officer being held criminally liable. >> there's a big difference. was this an accident? was the spine served assevered? or was it a grossly reckless conduct by the police that placed the suspect in danger? >> can they use prior cases? we reported on a case in baltimore a few years ago where a young man was put in the back of a van and not restrained and also died in a coma. >> that sets a precedence. >> a pattern of not being restrained appropriately in police vehicles. >> it sets a precedent. i can tell you in new york there was a case called the michael griffin case where a suspect had a heart attack and six officers were indicted because he was left to languish and die. they were all acquitted but they were all charged. these are hard cases to prove especially when you have a long period of time and different officers involved. we have to see who was with him the most part of the time and who was with him when the most serious injury occurred. >> which is crucial. we know there were six. the video shows three but if it happened inside the van, it might not have been those three. and outside protesters are descending on baltimore. organizers promising to shut down the city with their biggest protests yet. and the new apple watch. why you can buy it in only one store in the entire united states today and it was not an apple store. and a massive volcano erupting. these images are amazing. this is happening now. two feet of ash nearby where our reporter is. it could blow again at any moment. we will go live to the scene. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. jeff... hey, scott! this is no time for lollygaggin', lad. the chickweed and the dandelions are reekin' mad havoc! now's the time to send in the scotts turf builder weed and feed, man! it kills weeds while it feeds and strengthens your grass. feed your lawn. feed it! [ laughing ] want to play hide and seek? yeah! 1... 2... 6... 10! [ female announcer ] piña colada yoplait. it is so good when you need a little escape. [ mom ] still counting. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. breaking news tonight. activists are promising to shut this city down. baltimore is bracing for the arrival of thousands of new protesters. organizers are saying they will arrive from out of state, angry about the death of freddie gray in police custody. jason, you're standing where thousands of protesters are going to be gathering. they are being bussed in right now. how worried are police about this? this could completely change the situation that has already been very tense at times. >> tense but peaceful so far. this is the spot right here at city hall where the national rally will take place tomorrow. >> i will be out here on the front lines with my people to demand justice and yes, to shut this city down on saturday. >> reporter: this activist is promising what may be the biggest protest yet in the death of freddie gray. thousands plan to march in the streets of baltimore demanding justice. authorities are hoping to prevent any violence. clashes led to the arrest of two people last night for throwing objects at police. and now there are concerns about so called outside agitators. >> we want to remind everyone in the baltimore community, we cannot stress enough the need for peaceful demonstrations as we gather through these tough times. >> baltimore's mayor met with local clergy and activists calling for calm. >> i will continue to encourage residents who wish to voice their frustrations. i encourage them to do so. i also encourage them to be peaceful. >> protesters whether they be local or from out of town should make their voices heard. >> dr. king was not from selma, montgomery or birmingham but dr. king was in those areas. >> during the height of the riots there, police made nightly arrests. >> we had people coming in from all over the world starting fires. we want to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters and we intend to protest peacefully. >> about time to do something about this here. >> abdul will be one from baltimore out protesting tomorrow. nearly two years ago, he was pulled over for talking on his cell phone and failing to restrain a child with a safety belt. he said police beat him in his own driveway where his 3-year-old watched. >> once he slammed me from there, he picked me and worked me all the way to the very spot where we stand. >> police say it was because you were resisting. >> at no point did i arrest. >> all of these cops he ain't going nowhere. >> police ultimately dropped the charges but this man says he's speaking out so no one has to endure what he went through. >> so the process is changed. until the policy is changed we want results immediately because we can't spare another life. >> and again, he will be right out here tomorrow erin. as for some of those protesters from ferguson they said there is no organized effort to bring people out here. it was more like a grass root effort by individuals. the police commissioner welcomes everyone to come out here tomorrow but said he will not tolerate anyone hurting the community. erin? >> all right. thank you. and i want to bring in mark professor at moorehouse along with tom, a retired new york police department detective. it did become violent exit was a huge issue. images like this were on screens across the country. 95% of them more than that were not from ferguson. do you welcome the entry of thousands of protesters from outside baltimore? >> first, just to be clear, the protest became violent but it might be a leap of logic that the violence began with the protester was often from police who instigated things. that is to say there were protesters who were vie skplent made mistakes. many of them were not from the community or people who explicitly told me they were there to start trouble. they would throw bottles and push things hoping to get the revolution started. all of that aside, i'm happy to see people come from out of town. when dogs bite us in birmingham we bleed everywhere. this is a nationwide problem. we need everybody involved. >> the president of the local naacp called outside protesters bullies today. let me let you hear it. >> we do not need anyone coming in bullying our community and bullying people who are there just to get justice. when you come into another city and act different and try to encourage people that's a form of bullying. >> what do you make of that tom? >> i think she's got a good point and i think she is very concerned as probably all the residents and police when you have outside people coming in we have this in new york during the okay pi wall street movement where you had a lot of people who were not from new york. they were coming in from all corners of the country. they had this kind of belief that you could come into new york and have a free for all and have your way with the town and that's now how things will roll. i have no problem with people coming in to protest what they see as police abuse. and i don't think the balt mer police department which is a great police department has a problem with that either. they are there to protect the right to free speech and to protest. but as the commissioner had mentioned, as long as it's done peacefully and lawfully there will not be problems. the second there is somebody throwing inging bottles or whatever it mig be and causing disruption that's where it will be a problem. >> we should emphasize, the protests have been incredibly peaceful even when there have been moments it could have turned they were able to pull it back. they have been pushed and shoved. they have been spat on. things have been thrown. we have seen pretty bad moments right here live on this program. you have been sitting here as some of it has hand. so when you add more and more people from out of town does itd make you more worried? >> obviously if you increase the numbers of anything even by 1% if you triple the number of people you're going to have more incidents. the key is for law enforcement to see them not as intruders and not as people who are interrupt interrupting the democratic process. you don't block ways but create path ways. you don't charge an entire crowd when one person spits. you have to exercise more discipline than the people in the crowd. you are held to a higher standard. one of the problems with ferguson is people would be peacefully marching. someone would come ramming in with a shield and hitting the crowd which stokes the violence. i think police have to be disciplined and patient. so far baltimore police have done much better than ferguson police. >> they have stepped back. they have been incredibly calm and collected. some people say, you said baltimore police is a good police department. some people there has been some reporting that show they have had serious problems. they have had to pay out nearly $6 million in cases of alleged police wrong doing. how do you feel confident in saying look this is a good police department especially given that they have now admitted today that they have made major mistakes in the freddie gray case? >> they are a great police department. baltimore is not an easy city to police. they have a lot of problems in baltimore and philadelphia detroit. these large cities like new york we have gone through a transition where we had extremely high crime rates and it's due to a number of upgrades in training and upgrades in the way that they have gone about policing. community plays an integral part of that. that is happening across the united states. baltimore, like other police departments have had their issues too, with corruption, with officers not playing by the rule book. if you look at a police department like new york it's less than one half of 1% of officers are actually found of any serious wrong doing or legality. so that's the reality. by and large -- i don't know why you're laughing at me. i don't know if it's because of my hair. >> i love you man, but you're right. the police department in new york have found the police officers are rarely guilty. look who determines whether the police officer was innocent or guilty? guess what? the nypd. the nypd rarely finds the nypd guilty. that's the problem. you have the police and the foxes. you will never find anybody guilty. i wouldn't find my mamma guilty. >> final word. okay. thanks to both. >> if it comes down to something agreejeous happening the nypd will be policed by something higher than themselves. >> all right. thanks to both. i appreciate it. and next the american hostage killed by a drone. his family paid a ransom but it didn't work. and this volcano's powerful eruptions blanketing the area. just shy of two feet. there could be another eruption at any time we're told. we're going to be going there live. our reporter is at the scene. [ screaming ] rate suckers! [ bell dinging ] your car insurance goes up because of their bad driving. people try all sorts of ways to get rid of them.

[ male announcer ] how do you make cancer a thing of the past? well...you use the past. huntsman cancer institute has combined 300 years of family histories with health records to discover inherited genes for melanoma, breast colon and ovarian cancers. so we can predict and treat cancer. and sometimes even prevent it from happening in the first place. to learn more or support the cause go to huntsmancancer.org. >> breaking news. costing the lives of two al qaeda hostages one of them an american. >> we all bleed when we lose an american life. we all grieve when any innocent life is taken. >> two american members of al qaeda were also accidentally killed in the drone strikes. also today we're learning new information that there was a ransom paid by the family of the american hostage. jim is out front. >> reporter: it was only a year after this man was abducted from his home. a source tells cnn that his family took a risk paying ransom to contacts claiming to represent his captives. >> it seems that i have been totally abandoned and forgotten. >> reporter: his captors made new demands for a prisoner exchange. >> currently serving an 86 year sentence in the u.s. the winstein family fears that the money may have gone to the wrong people. >> the family is very emotional because they want their loved one back and they get drawn back into this. >> reporter: his captors referred to themselves as afghans, not al qaeda. the clothes worn by other isis hostages during other beheadings. when burgdoll was released, it was bragged that he was one of the kidnappers there too. >> the first sign of trouble immediately after the strike on the al qaeda compound when u.s. intelligence observed not four bodies being removed as expected but six. the additional two now believed to be winstein and the italian. but captors kept reaching out. final contact with them came earlier this month when the family asked for proof of life proof of life they never received. also a communications fall your. the white house now says it may create a special team a fusion cell incorporating the fbi, the state department and the intelligence community to better coordinate recovery efforts but also crucially to better channel information to hostages families. >> all right. thank you very much from washington. and now phil former cia counter terrorism official and retired general james spider marx. he has flown drones. the winstein family they paid ransom and then they changed the terms and said thank you for the money, now we want a prisoner exchange. it was unclear if they were ever even dealing with the right people. >> we are putting families in terrible positions. when the policy was established, engagement was eped soic. now we're seeing that somebody is taken from a family and there's a threatened beheading. i think you will start to see the u.s. government say we can't have families get involved. they don't have the capability to do that. where this buck stops is if you start talking about money you start making hostages a commodity and terrorism a business. people are going say over time we might have to start talking to these guys but we don't want to give them money. >> the white house watched these compounds. they said they watched for hundreds of hours. so that's a lot of surveillance right? but then they were surprised, six bodies came out and they thought they would only get four. should they have known something didn't add up? too much food? too much waste? something in advance? >> clearly if they had known that there would have been a different decision. i think what you have is the persistent surveillance that can be provided by drones. they hand off. there is 24/7 coverage that can be provided. but again, what you're looking at when you are surveilling a target from a drone, you're looking through a very narrow straw. there are other forms of intelligence. phil lived the world of human intelligence in addition to signals intelligence. what we really want to do is you want to close gaps and you can only do that through complimentary systems and clearly there was high confidence that they were going to strike known targets in that facility. but it's very difficult unless you can see through a wall or you have is a source that has exited that building and said there are two other people in there and that has to be part of the mix and our community knows that. this is simply look the drone munitions struck exactly where it was targeting. so operationally, this worked extremely well. it was an intelligence failure based on the fact that it wasn't layer ed layered. >> they also didn't know that some of the operatives they were killing, they thought they had four they had four and they didn't know that who of them were american. there is going be changes in the drone program. i have validated the target. i have surveilled enough to get pattern of life. i know where the women and children are. if you want to take that one step further and say we are going try to perfect this i got one question for yo and that is how. we're talking about hundreds of drone strikes over time are you telling me that you want me to certify that i know every person in that facility? >> you know their names, you will never get to that. >> i will take it a step further. i think it's a tragedy. not a veil your. >> he is going predict in every case who is going be in the building. >> right. >> all right. thanks very much to both of you and out front next take a look at these pictures that we will show you. thousands evacuated after a massive volcano erupts twice. we will show that to you and why you can buy the apple watch in only one store in america.

a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene available as an oral rinse toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good a dry mouth isn't biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. breaking news tonight, all eyes on a volcano that could erupt again at any moment. the volcano erupted twice this week shooting ash more than six miles into the sky. look at these pictures. they are truly stunning. they are gorgeous powerful, fearsome all at once. it keeps erupting. the area is now under two feet of ash. sort of makes you think of pom pay pompei. our reporter is as close as you can get. shasta what are you hearing about more eruptions? >> they said it was unstable. this morning it flared back up and that really has residents here in this region. >> where these guesses that another could be on its way they evacuated another 2,000 today. this is a region known for its volcanos but this particular volcano had not had a major eruption for more than half a century. those images those sinmatic images that everyone was looking at people here were terrified. they grabbed their belongings and got out of here as fast as they could. the exsperts saying it looks like another crater. . i see shasta, everyone has been evacuated. you have a mask that you're not using. >> it's amazing. it's very thick at times when cars go by. i'm standing on piles of ash and it's really not fluffy and light. it's more like gravel. there's a little bit of everything. and as you can see, there isn't something you would want falling on your head. it's like a bunch of publebbles falling on your head and then you get puffs of ash. a lo of it is headed towards argentina. it has gone over the andes and they have had to cancel flights there because airplanes cannot fly in this thick gravelly air. we have an earth mover moving by. you have got to cover your mouth or you will eat hard dust there. >> obviously you need to do that right now. i don't want you to not do that for the purposes of this live shot. just incredible as you can see right behind her that is panoramic. that smoke, as that volcano could be about to blow again. thank you, shasta. >> one of the few people on earth to go deep inside is sam cosman and he is out front now. we just saw amazing pictures of volcanic lightning. then you see the lightning through the flame. i mean it just is stunning that this is actually happening in real life. what do you make of this when you see it? >> it's really incredible to see all of these forces of nature coming together in this one moment. it's really not very common where you can capture that on camera so to see that and share wit the world gets me excited. you know lightning, volcanic lightning is an area of science. it is still pretty unknown. there is a lot of conjecture around how it happens. again, one of the concepts that are talked about in the scientific community is there may be a variety of different types of lightning that occurred and it may be the case what we saw here is something completely new. >> that's just incredible that we can see something completely new. you, sam, have been inside an active volcano which is incredible to comprehend. i know you repelled down 1200 feet you went all the way to the bottom of an active volcano. what the. . >> you can't help but but outside of yourself. incredible to see something that is so awe inspiring right in front of you. that is basically like looking at the surface of the sun or like seeing a rocket at close range. it's an incredible sight and more incredible feeling because the heat that you are exposed to when you're standing at not only the edge of a volcano but the shore of a lava lake of which there are only about seven in the world it's about a thousand degrees. >> what did you wear?
