Transcripts For CNNW New Day 20150313

Police stormed a house thats just a few blocks from here and they took in three people for questioning. Those people have since been released. Its also worth noting that the st. Louis county police as well as the Missouri State Highway Patrol are now going to be taking over the security detail at protests. This started last night, they want to do this to make sure that everyone stays safe. Its also worth noting that two missouri congressmen are now offering a 3,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of those responsible for this ambush shooting. Aligna its worthy of note there was such a flood of information about where people thought the shots came from and how the description of the shooter may be that it actually is something thats slowing down the investigation, theyre getting more leads than they expected not less. Thats a window into this community. Thank you very much. The people who live here and the police have to figure out what to do with the recent shootings, they cant just be forgotten as somehow incidental. How will the Community React . What will it be like on the streets of ferguson . We have ryan young bringing that part of the story. Ryan . I think thats a very important point. People have been talking about the shooting saying they hate the fact that its happened now it changes the conversation from one they were focused on. The fact they were talking about the Ferguson Police department now everyone is talking about the manhunt. I talk to one woman who said she did not want the attention to be moved from the Police Department now to the manhunt thats happening. But thats something that everyone here says theyre happy to see folks getting involved. President obama spoke about what happened here and the fact that somebody needs to be brought to justice. There was no excuse for criminal acts. And whoever fired those shots shouldnt detract from the issue. Theyre criminals. They need to be arrested. And then what we need to do is to make sure that likeminded, goodspirited people on both sides, Law Enforcement who have a terrifically tough job and people who understandably dont want to be stopped and harassed just because of their race that were able to Work Together to try to come up with some good answers. Now obviously tensions may be high but look the community is telling me theyre tired of being painted in one direction, they want to move the conversation and the shooting hasnt helped that. Chris . Ryan thank you for working the streets, very important perspective, well be back with you as well. Lets bring in people who understand the community and the investigation, we have the columnist for the st. Louis american lizz brown and former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. We spent a lot of time last night just over your shoulders is where the officers were shot. The Vantage Points they believe could be anywhere from where were standing to up the hill on the street called tiffen. How difficult were these shots to hit, if the estimate of distance is anywhere near accurate lets say 80 to 125 yards . That distance is phenomenal. To shoot someone with a handgun and under the conditions at night, even with a rifle, with a scope, it would be difficult to hold it steady enough to shoot two officers standing side by side. Its not impossible shot. But its a very difficult shot and it would indicate somebody has had firearms training. Its not one shot its two. And as you know your witnesses put the shots anywhere from three to four to five shots. But still, its two hits on a very small number of shots. Doesnt that suggest, if anything that this distance that officers were not that into the investigation in terms of what theyre telling us but maybe this distance was a lot small centre. It could be its deceptive, you could have echo off the buildings, you could have having checked out the site also that the shooters could have been up on the roof of some of these strip mall buildings, putting them much closer and putting them higher so theyre not shooting just over the tops of the heads of the protesters but having a higher angle. Theres no question would you need trajectory otherwise, lizz you would have been hitting protesters and other people as the bullets are traveling towards the officers. It matters, because if the shooters were closer it does put them in the thick of the protest, the protesters want to be separated from the incident. But those shots came from somewhere and they probably came from somewhere closer. How do you think the shootings of these officers should be embraced as part of the dynamic in this community . Obviously the Journey Towards justice, the Journey Towards the doj report demonstrated and showed the world whats going on in this community. Any time that youre headed towards fixing Something Like that its going to be a rough journey. So obviously its part of the journey. But i dont think thats where the focus should remain. Because its bigger than that. What is being sought here its bigger than what happened a night ago. Can you change the die nam nick this community if you dont address the potential threats to officers. To many thats what the shooting represents. It wasnt just someone angry and randomly it was the officers and the police in here it controls their mindset and policing strategy. It has to be part of the main conversation doesnt it . Yes, but we also expect that some of the millions of dollars spent on Police Training kicks in here. This is where the Police Officers and the police chief get do demonstrate with us that theyve learned their training. It shouldnt be a surprise to a Police Officer. Were looking at a sometimes from the Vantage Point of a citizen. Look at it from the Vantage Point of someone who is trained to do that. We expect them to we expect their training to kick in here. Be professionals. Yes. As a professional Law Enforcement officers if you know youre in a community where theres open animosity towards you and the community doesnt necessarily back you. There was protesters out here last night there was a vilgvigil. It was very small. If you ask people why there wasnt more people out here they say mixed feelings. How does that make the Police Department feel . It may take on the notion i think it should be noted when the shots rang out, two officers went down no officer returned fire. That might have been the intent of the shooters to have that happen. To create a situation where the police shot into the crowd and killed protesters. People were commenting somewhat negatively every officer drew a gun after that of course they did. But then again the training kicked in and fire was not returned. So you know i mean with respect to the people that showed up last night, i think that the Community Needs to be given credit for the fact that there were people that showed up. And also people that were concerned about the danger of being here too, so you had two different dynamics going on and also there is this is an action this is a movement. So of course other people are going to show up as well. Theres no question that weve had bad apples here from the beginning, Everybody Knows it who has been anywhere near the situation. And my question is i think that this is an opportunity for part of the positive change. That this Community Shows its support for the police. Because you know there two points of view out here on the street. Everybody knows that the culture of policing that came out of that building was negative and that was targeted. And people were making things up. Like the president said nobody is majoring this stuff up. The doj had no skin in the game. People are saying all blue is blue. They said theres a culture here that has to change and the chief is gone. Its going to be more than that right . This community has to embrace those who police it and the police has to embrace those they are policing. Its a relationship. You cannot embrace someone within a relationship if theyre not performing the way they need to be performing. When you have a police chief, whose first statement out about what happened is that the shots came from someone embedded with the protesters. Thats inaccurate and provocative. So thats a relationship that didnt come out of thin air, so its going to take some time to get to a relationship where its healthy. Quick thing, we dont know what happened yet. So we dont know that the shot didnt come from someone who was among the protesters. Right. Thats why the chief should have been circumspect and said nothing at all until he got the facts and the evidence. Back on the day of the shooting of Michael Brown. When the crime scene investigators were trying to process the scene and the crowds were gathering, shots were fired then and the medical examiner of st. Louis county ordered the criminal investigators to gather their stuff and get out. The history of shots being fired from an angry crowd, goes back to day one, 200some days ago. Thats part of the context of what their thinking would be. Thats why progress is going to be so slow. Because theres a dynamic on each side of this. And if they dont come together there will be no change. Tom, lizz thank you very much. Chris, thanks so much. There are also new details emerging this morning about the latest black eye for the secret service. Those two senior agents suspected of driving a government vehicle after drinking at a party, and reportedly disrupting an active bomb investigation. Were also learning the new secret Service Director did not learn of the incident until days later. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty joins us live from the white house with more. What are we learning today in. Thats right. Rather than being notified immediately, the new secret Service Director joe clancy he was not told about the incident until five days after. That means accordle to Law Enforcement sources, that its very possible that the director himself was told even later than the white house. This of course coming from the agency that the director has vowed to clean up. Now there are still many facts that we still dont know about. Everything that happened last wednesday evening. But we now do know this in addition to these two agents allegedly driving under the influence, we also know that they also drove under police tape disrupting an active investigation of a suspicious package that was also happening near white house grounds at the same time. But many sources pushing back about this notion that they barrelled through a barricade, some sources now saying that they deliberately nudged an orange barrier, just moving it aside a few feet. They said that they were going slow literally one mile an hour. But sources are saying that Congress Wants answers here. The question is why no sobriety test was given. Why the agents were allowed to go by the supervisor. And one Top Republican in congress saying that he believes that this agency has now put the jeopardy and the safety of the first family in question. If its true that these officers had suspected that these people had alcohol in their breath that they were driving that they impeded and got in the way of an active investigation, a potential bomb on the white house grounds, and the supervisor just decides to let them go i mean this is what is so terribly frustrating. The House Oversight committee has called for clancy to turn over all photos Surveillance Videos and audio recordings of the night. They also want him to appear before Congress Next week. Michaela . Words, context matter well dig into this later in the show. Secretary of state john kerry is in egypt attending an economic summit and meeting with senior officials on a range of security topics.

Well be getting analysis of that deal coming up on the program. Breaking overnight, a medical helicopter crashing in oklahoma on its way from tulsa to mcallister.

Security Council Members have quietly begun talking about lifting sanctions against iran if a nuclear deal is struck. This reuters report comes days before Nuclear Talks are set to resume. Lets look at the key players involved in the highstakes negotiations. Who exactly are they . And lets bring in peter beinart, our cnn political commentator and contributing editor for Atlantic Media lets start with the reuters report out that theyre considering as part of the deal lifting sanctions against iran. Wasnt that always part of the deal . Or is something bigger happening . Theres two sets of sanctions to be concerned about. American sanctions that could be lifted by president obama himself to some degree and by congress. And then there are also multilateral sanctions through the United Nations. The iranians want relief from both. So thats a bigger deal and the u. S. That would be a dealbreaker for the u. S. . Or thats part of this negotiation . I think the Obama Administration probably envisages that if they get the deal they want there would be relief from the u. N. Sanctions, as well as the american sanctions. Whether Congress Wants that is a different question. Got it lets talk about the key players, lets start with the ayatollah here. This is the person who well you tell me what is his role in the negotiations . Ayatollah khamenei would be the final authority. Hes the most powerful political lead anywhere iran. Traditionally considered a hardliner, but recently has been giving rhetorically his blessing to these negotiations theyre also reports that hes very sick. We dont know what his health is. We dont even know whether he will last as long as the negotiations do. Thats interesting. Hes also just recently in the past 24 hours, talked about the letter from the 47 gop senators hes called it u. S. Tricks. Rhetorically hes not always conciliatory. No. This is a man who has been very hostile to the United States his entire political career. And yet he seems to be giving the negotiators the room at least for now to potentially cut a deal. Lets talk about this man, this is president rouhani, whats his significance in th
