scott on america tonight the most likely race to die at the happens of police, may not be what you think. a death an officer and doubt. the police said this was not racism. what do you think. >> what would he just come to a native right away you have to pull out a gun? you can't do nothing else but shoot us. >> our in depth look at crime justice, and the american indian's tough questions do native lives matter. also tonight the fears of another community under threat.

>> after the attacks the new worries of french uses. >> america tonight's sheila mcvicker in paris on why french uses are threing france. my logo is clean money. >> a spirit and willingness to dig deep for the unlikely ingredient in a recipe for success. good evening and thank you for joining us. his gun a person of color dead the patrolman is cleared the community is outraged.

you may think you have heard it before, but this rapid city south dakota where state investigators have just said the shooting death last month was justified. the police and one other big difference in this case, it underscored a surprising fact to the racial group most likely to die in a conflict with police, is probably not what you think. on the last full day of his life he told his wife he needed to be a part of this. here in rapid city, though. it is native lives that matter. >> on a daily basis we are fighting to survive. >> you want to make a difference with people, and he really wanted to help the native community, he wanted to help these younger kids. >> when they were just teens.

living in the small community of kyle. deep inside the pine reg reservation south of rapid city. one of the very poorest towns in the nation. >> the couple grew up here, went away from home, and then reconnected in rapid. >> what color is this one. >> white. >> all right. to severe weather lest's three kids five-year-old angie and her two older brothers. allen lock wasn't always an angel his wife admits. less than 24 hours after the native lives matter march against police brutality just long enough for him to sober up. she thought the officer who came to the door would help. >> what can you tell me about what happened when the police came? >> i was like allen behave, behave allen and he only came so far he walk sod far he didn't charge at the cop he

didn't run for him he didn't do nothing. that cop just stood right there, he pulled out his gun didn't try nothing else, didn't try to pull out a tazer, pepper spray i kept telling the cop, i am like don't shoot him, i was like oh my god you shot pimp all i -- i didn't -- i didn't want you to come over and kill him. like -- right in front of our kids right in front of us. >> rapid city police say officer anthony may rose fired only after lock lunged at him with a knife in his hand. two crow who was standing next to lock denies he made any aggressive moves toward then. >> he did not raise the knife? >> no. he did not raise it add him he didn't try to run after him, he the none of that. >> the officer was white. yes, the suspect was faytive

but the police said this was not racism. what do you think? when it comes to natives right away you pull out a gun you can't do nothing else but shoot us. >> rapid city police answered that charge the day after the death. >> this is based on criminal behavior. had the race of the my -- the police officers native american and the suspect was white, the result would have been the same thing. are the most likely group to be killed by law vomit. and two recent incidents they lost it 17 time.

>> last august, 30 to-year-old jeffery was advertised multiple times by an officer. on the mean reg reservation. after four officers surrounded the child and used a tazer on her. >> in rapid city, america tonight repeatedly trying to speak to the police chief about allen locks death and the native communities other concerns. all of our requests were turned down. the former chief denied the racial tension here is any worse than it has ever been. >> i don't believe this is the tipping point. this is a peek that we have seen time and time again.

the tensions are long standing. a u.s. civil rights commission report in 2000 concluded that many native americans in south dakota have little or no confident in the system. and warns that the administration of justice at the federal and state levels is permeated by racism. one recommended remedy, increased the number of native americans on the force. 15 years after that review, rapid city has increased the number of native officers on it's 120 man force from one to three. why he thinks there aren't many. >> it is very difficult culturally. for a native american to grow up here, and become a police officer. and so the native americans who take the test, there's been a very low rate of

passing the toast they had a lower success rate in those attempts. >> whatever the reason, that fact and allen locks death underscore the deep skepticism in the this community that one of it's own would ever receive justice. >> 10% of the population is native. for the kinds of jobs only a big city can offer but many have found with encreased opportunities come increased risks. >> teens moms even grandmothers here tell stories of continued routine police harassment and profiling. pulled over they say because of their license tag start with the number six, cigle thatting that they are residents of the resident. or because they reveal the

maytive identity or because as karen eagle tells her 15-year-old, of his proud appearance as a ute. >> i know all this has been happening for years. >> as the mother of a native teenager eagle says she has no choice but to tell her son to submit to any undeserved indignity, an officer might deliver. you don't see anything that will give them the opportunity to say he did this, and that's why iotassed him or he put his hands in his -- i thought he was grabbing a weapon so that's why i shot him. just don't say nothing that z they won't bother you. >> you would rather submit him to unfair treatment. >> eat it, and we will deal with it after because i would rather have a whole healthy alive son and help him heal from that indignity than to

bury my son. and you are afraid that can happen. >> i am very afraid. i am disappointed i have to army son with that kind of knowledge. >> you are telling him to take the humiliation. >> maybe i am wrong but i would rather have my son at home with me, crying about that rather than me crying over him. in a box some day. because he stood up for himself because right now on this community it's not safe. >> but the mayor denies that. his historic tensions are improving and he worried that allen's death is being miscast i think what is happen add terrible tragedy, it is a tragedy for the family, and a tragedy for our cented young officer who was put in this position.

and again, there's no reason to believe at this point that the's was a factor. shows left with doubt that natives can ever find equal justice. >> will you tell your boys to trust the police. >> no. after all this, no. i don't trust them. i don't think i will ever call them again. all they did is make it worse. >> president of the national con of american indians when you hear a report like this, and the kind of statistics that we heard about. most likely statistically that natives will be killed in a conflict with police. that native people are

significantly otherrepresented and that they are overrepresented in the number of victims of violent crime as well. what is the state of native populations in this country today. >> the federal government and the state government, the crone government the local government all have to understand that we have a serious problem here. when they show the number one race in the united states that is being murdered by cops is native americans. if you threw that question out there, the united states of america right now most likely people would say african-americans. when in fact it is the native americans and it is a cease issue, it is not only a crisis it's a quiet crisis. that people aren't aware of. but they make their point that their police department is 120 officers. and yet they acknowledge they have a very large population both on the reservation within the city limits why would it

make a difference. >> when they have a high number of minorities in your community, and you're represented by a very very small percentage, having those officers on that force will only help bring awareness to our culture. can you assure people in these communities that the law enforcement outside the reservation. that law enforcement really believed that they matter. >> once again i have a lot of respect for law enforcement, they have a tough job could they have done things different, yes they could have. but i think going forward we all have to come together to realize there is a problem. and it is going to take a team effort to address this. and come up with solutions that work for the community at the ground level up. >> president of the national congress of american indians appreciate you being here. >> thank you.

mesh tonight in france after the pearce attacks why french uses are rethinking the land they call home. later this hour, reignited a flash point? a new decision in ferguson, america tonight on why it's not the last word. show you how the miracles of science... >> this is my selfie, what can you tell me about my future? >> can affect and surprise us. >> don't try this at home. >> "techknow" where technology meets humanity. saturday at 7:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america.

>> al jazeera america presents a breakthrough television event. borderland. six strangers. >> let's just send them back to mexico. >> experience illegal immigration up close and personal. >> it's overwhelming to see this many people that have perished. >> lost lives are relived. >> all of these people shouldn't be dead. >> will there differences bring them together or tear them apart? >> the only way to find out is to see it yourselves. >> which side of the fence are you on? borderland, sunday at 9 eastern, only on al jazeera america.

even a joy but with rising reports of anti-jewish attacks in the heart of europe, and especially after the latest attacks in france, the question to leave one's birth country for the home of one's faith, takes on greater urgency and is framed by new fears. america tonight is in paris. many the bike of paris attacks especially the targeted kosher grocery store the government has sought to reassure it's jewish citizens. by promptly orders even more security for jewish businesses schools and synagogues. france's jewish community, especially those that wear the orthodox dress or send their children to jewish schools or go to synagogue, feel the

danger. a very real danger. >> of course woe are frightened we are killed because we are uses because we do our shopping. we are afraid for our children. is it normal to have an armored police vehicle that's been going on for years is it normal to have police cars in front of synagogues, no it is not. the three-quarters of france's 600,000 or so uses are like many of the muslims post world war ii immigrants from north africa. there has been an increase many the number of attacks committed against french uses attacked aimed at them specifically because of their faith, and officials say they come not for the most part from the french far right but from their muslim and north african neighbors. >> from desecration of jewish cemeteries to racist attacks

from french exceedian known for his anti-jewish routine and reverse nazi salute to things much more frightening. including the murders of three jewish children and a rabbi. this summer there were verbs riots in the mixed paris suburb. where they battled police for hours chanting death to uses. in the first six months of 2014 officials figure there were 527 violent anti-similar metic acts in france, nearly double the same period the year before. the government has failed to halt the rise. >> grandparents and great

grandparents were not born in france, can you be french? i don't know. some people don't seem to think so. >> natasha is jewish and has lived in france for ten years. she writes about the jewish community, like most french uses she lives a very secular life. people are afraid now, ands that wasn't the case when i arrived. afraid of their place in france afraid of antisemitism. there's been a continuing increase in attacks. it is impossible to ignore. people don't feel confidentble any more, looking obviously jewish, and that's very deserving. >> one result a sharp rise in the number of uses leaving france.

the agency charged with facilitating immigration says 7,000 uses led for israel alone in 2014, that's double the number for went 13. >> you can see the double in the numbers but you can see it is a tiny tiny proportion. i think it feeds into a dangerous discourse of a clash of civilizations. which i don't think is helpful at the moment. >> on a sunday after the paris attacks when millions of french rallies to say i am charley, i am a police officer, i am jewish, israel's prime minister marched in solidarity with other world leaders. >> an emotion fall plea to france's uses employering them

to move to the safety of israel. to all uses he said, who want to immigrate to israel, we will welcome you with open arms and a loving heart you will arrive got in a foreign country, but in our homeland. he added god willing many of you will come. >> while it is certain there will be many more french uses who choose immigration to israel orr elsewhere, there are also many who are determined to remane. >> the danger, i don't see the danger. maybe i am wrong. i see the danger for the family for my friends. but not for me. i am used to work here. and so it's life but i am french. i dream in french. i speak in frenching. so i stay here.

>> we are french. we are jewish, french jewish. under -- i know that this can be dangerous but i am leaving the sunday of 150,000 known for it's porcelain, there has been a jewish community since the 11th century. question where between eight and 15 who pray regularly. >> there have been to attacks against uses in the city, but soldiers guard the synagogue as they do everywhere fow in the france. >> when a police of worship has to be guarded it isn't

just used who are in danger it is the republic. when a synagogue has to have armored doors that's not formal. if the republican is at that point of weakness, that weakness can very quickly be perceived by our enemies. >> dianne has a novel proposal which got national attention. rather than leave france, immigrate within fran. and where synagogues can use more worshipers. if the uses are to leave france, it means the terrorist win, that is a price we will not pay that's why i propose this alternative come live in a small quiet town, where we do got have these problems.

he argued powerly the place for french uses is in france. strongly and loudly. >> if at no future in france, i genuinely think there's no future for france. because uses are being targeted by people worries are also targeting france. we are all in the the same boat here, we are all french, and jewish in a sense and above all, they need to know that attacks fence them will not be tolerated. and that like all of france's people, they are secure. joining us tonight this is a conversation that french uses have started to have even before prime menster very

emptioned as you say speech this is something that the agency facilitates around the world, including in france, what is striking about last year is the corelation between a sharp increase in the number of anti-jewish attacks and a sharp rise in immigration. and so you have these two things coming together. and other events and some people have made the decision that france is no longer a place where they want to be. i understand that it goes beyond concerns there's a broader concern for frenching uses indeed for all the french, about the economy and the future. >> there are about 250,000 french who left france last year. it is impossible to know within that 250,000 how many others were uses who went to other countries why are people

leaving france? the economy is faltering there is high unemployment, and there is a clear perception here, particularly on the part of the young that even if you have a good decree even if you go to school, there are no enough opportunities here in france america tonight, in paris. after the break can ferguson move on. >> these are difficult times for them, they got this -- ax hanging over tear head, and they don't foe what the future holds for them. >> a new decision, and why it won't be the final word on the crisis that began with the death on the streets. also ahead a free speech hero, or an internet threat. the strange case of barrett brown and why he ended up in jail for something you probably do every day.

now a nap shot of stories making headlines on america tonight. saudi arabia kenning has died. this news comes after he was hospitalized for pneumonia and had health difficulties throughout last year, he became the country's six kenning. he was said to be in his 90's

who hasn't had the measles vaccine, at least 70 cases linked to the theme park have been confirmed. ses in washington the house wanted to tighten abortion restricts just as antiabortion rights about vests parred in the annual rally that marked the roe v wade decision. after outcry from republican women members on the held. >> federal civil rights investigation into the shooting death of michael brown is coming to a close new york times report but the police department is still under investigation. a story of a former officer who insisted that the department is not racist, and the plan by state leaders to come missouri moving in the right direction. the legacy of ferguson will be determined by what we do next.

to poster healing and hope, and the changes we make to strengthen all of our communities. >> jay nixon is looking forward reminding his state that the healing process doesn't come overnight. >> we need to reformicates so that all citizens are creating fairly. we need to support policies that support compassion. >> the national spotlight has been shining on the greater st. louis area, where many people have found just the opposite. a spot light too on the ferguson police department. and only darn wilson, the white officer who pulled the trigger that killed michael brown, a black teen. >> i think the best way to describe his life, is just surreal. >> how has darn wilson been responding to these reports that the federal government is done with it's report and probably will not be. >> thatting him? i talked to him this morning

there was a hipt of relief, but he realizes just as well as i do, that this is not official word, and that we have yet to hear anything formal from the justice department. he speaks regularly to the officers on the police force which is still the focus of a federal civil rights investigation, looking into patterns of policing use of deadly force and police searches. activists have said the shooting death was a symptom of a racist and corrupt police department. missouri attorney general report revealed blacks were pulled over 86% of the time, even though they make up 67% of the population. retired ferguson officer says the ferguson police department does good work, we spoke with him in november, before a grand jury announced it would

not charge wilson with a crime. you think the ferguson police department is racist? >> no, in any profession that's in your heart. i never saw any of that. >> a lot of the anger that citizens have, that are directed at ferguson police, i think they are directed at police in general. >> that they are not doing anything with the community and when i worked there they worked with the different community organizations. bowman served many years in the ferguson area elementary schools as a resource officer he knew kids in his community by name, and watched them grow up. >> i always tried to reach the people feeling with, whether it's students or the parents. in the community and you just treat the kids give them

respect in their program we would play kick ball, we would have races and i did double dutch, and four square with the kids and you try to build a relationship. >> bowman says he lived in the area and spent time in the community meeting people in the neighborhoods he controlled. >> residents say the situation can be improved if more police were more involved in the community. >> the police -- you know. go to the schools and be involved make the younger people feel i can talk to so and so about this. >> received money to purchase dash cameras and body cameras and is working on recruiting police officers who live in the city. although the police department is still at the center of a federal civil rights investigation, the governor has hopes that soon the entire

state will be united. i know you have spent a lot of time in ferguson yourself, do you have a sense of the reaction to this? there's a lot of uncertainty about what is happenings next. and there are a lot of attempts to move forward. where they invited youth to come in, and talk about what theiren cans are. so there is a lot of progress being made, but a lot of uncertainty still. so experiments believe it is inevitable there will be restructuring that could even possibly lead to the deterioration of the police department and close them down and maybe a police department will take over when

we were in ferguson, what struck me is that a lot of people this is an opportunity for people to become more active the political process to take on greater roles and yet when they had the opportunity, were people willing to step up and do that? >> well, i think we saw that on the streets. we saw people stepping into different roles. even ferguson has developed new programs trying to make an effort to improve. and do incentives where they are don't money to get them to apply to be a police officer so i know there are efforts and people are stepping up but lit be a long way to go, because clearly they are not there yet. >> right after the break how what he wrote on the internet landed him many jail. barrett brown journalist activist and why he says his conviction, could be be a threat to your freedom too. this weekend on the program

an american tonight investigation, robbed on the job. workers losing millions of dollars each year. >> a lot of times people sweat shops is garment, third world countries but we are seeing right're in the united states, all kinds of workers are being sweated. and one aspect of being sweated is being robbed of your wages. >> america tonight investigates wage theft and why no one is making the bosses pay.

why his case may be important to you part of the reason that he was jailed and threatened with a 100 year sentence has to do something you have done too posted a web link, is he a badly needed watchdog or as the government would tell you a threat. this store from america tonight. i have a case of the giggles. >> the man in this video is a writer who has been published in the garden and huffington post. to some he is an innovative journalist. >> you have glennishs of liberty, and that being done

outside the process, be uh to fbi he is a problem. >> it is legal when it is done to me, who is a criminal, who is involved in a criminal conspiracy. >> brown was arrested in 2012 shortly after he posted youtube videos threaten an agent by name. >> . >> the story of barrett brown starts with the story he was trying to write, a story about internet activists in the online collective anonymous. >> it is not veg voices that's why we don't show our faces or give our names. it is a collective. good timing. >> it is 2010, and brown is digging for sources. >> wayhe was primarily focused on was intelligence contractors the so called military intelligence complex.

with lot of us have been outraged by the snowden revelation that have showed this mask of american citizens. this overreach by the nsa. but the lack of oversite of the nas is one thing what about that next group of companies that are getting often billion dollars contracts to do the same thing they have even less oversight. this is the primary focus of the work. >> how much good does an organization do? or an entity or anything? and how much bad does it do. >> blurring the lines between reporter and subject. taking on an advocating the groups cause. investigative journalists had an interview with brown in 2011. when we break laws we do so in service of civil disobedient. later that year, a consulting

firm with the wealth of influential contacts. after hackers linked tens of thousands of documents including personal credit card information, brown posts an online link to the stolen data. then he asked journalists and anyone for help sorting through it. >> he was very careful to distinguish what he was doing serving as a doe facto spokes men for anonymous from the actual hacking itself. he told me he didn't hack into these systems he didn't commit the crimes. >> brown supporters have argued his,s were in the name of journalism, designed to export the truth after all of the recent hacks by members of anonymous had uncovered important information. private companies plotting against journalists alleged conspiracies to silent critics, one hack even trigger as congressional inquiry. and just hope that despite all

history, we can allow people to have that power and secrecy, and trust them. or we can listen to what history tells us and deny them that right. >> in the eyes oif federal government the actions were illegal, because the links he shared had personal credit card information. >> i was doing nothing even remotely wrong. >> as federal agents closed in he turned to youtube. i know what has been done to me by these [bleep] contractors. brown was online and the entire confrontation was recorded. get your hands down. >> [bleep]. >> a raid by the fbi? >> he was charged with 17 offenses and faced more than 100 years if convicted. proof the government was trying to punish him for his investigations not just the credit carts.

fortunately the worst of those charges the most agregous against him were dropped but if you look at the charges at remain, and you compare that to what he is the prison time that he is facing clearly wildly disproportionate. he is being persecuted for the kinds of things that he was investigated. that's what is happening. >> all but three of the charges west dropped last year when he agreed to plead guilty. al jazeera. >> now barrett brown has been sentenced to more than 60 months in jail. tim roger joins us, he can talk more about him tim can you explain the situation? he was sentenced and he released a statement to the courtroom, and it says every journalist in the united states is put at risk by the novel sometimes even radical claims in the government has

introduced in the course of the sentencing process. i wonder if that -- if you believe is truly the case here is every journalist put at risk by the court's conclusion? >> the court wouldn't say that and the judge addressed this point directly, he said there's no way that this is going to put a chill on first amendment rights for journalists because in the courts eye barrett isn't a journalist. i don't think that the distension can be made that way. there are lines and barrett is many things. he is an activist and a journalist but i certainly think so. the court has not define wad a journalist is. >> and he also made that point. he said if i am not a journalist then there are many many people out there who are also not journalists. without being aware of and it worries are thus as much at risk as i am. he is referring to those of us who would also send out links on our facebook pages or

whatever. >> and just sharing a link, now, the government argued that he trafficked in those credit card numbers. the same way a drug trafficker would traffic in drugs if they took possession of drugs and transported them from position a to position b. but all barrett did was post a link a link that was publicly available. >> there is more to the story and the videos he posted on line, he made some harsh comments he made threats by name i didn't say i am going to kill him but i am going to ruin his life, and look into his [bleep] kids. this is a pretty serious threat. >> absolutely, there were three counts against him and he did himself no favors with those threats. and the judge -- at the time he was on drugs and his mother had also been investigated and raided. and so barrett was under a lot of stress, and his defense

argued that should mitigate how seriously those threats should be taken to how many months of additional sentence he should get for them, and the judge really didn't want to hear it. he said he knew wayhe was doing, and he should be held responsible. >> tim rogers appreciate your joining us. >> absolutely. >> we have a different view of the world entrepreneurs digging for black gold and turning trash to cash. the remarkable mining of what others just throw away.

in many countries where trash collectors are a luxury, garbage is piling up at an alarming rate, creating a burden for many, and an

unlikely opportunity for others. now we travel to the outskirts of uganda, where some clef entrepreneurs have found a way to turn crash into cash. >> oh, this is garbage. >> it is all on the road, and i say you know why it is a problem. there's always an opportunity. that is a serious problem. >> one of the biggest problems here i thought i could do something with this garbage i can utilize it, and break it, and other materials. in the beginning it was difficult. it was really really bad. but today. if you ask me who are you how can i remember you,ly say the

garbage collector. worries began with three chenets right now we have 650 clients. i think we will grow to 1,000 by the end of this year. african countries is not looked after well. in this municipality where i work. much of the garbage is just left on the roadside to rot. the government only worked in the city center. but it only had one truck and it can't stop everybody in the city. so what happens people find ways of disposing of the garbage. and this is not the best way to dispose of it, but they have no at terntive. so when my company came in, we work hand in hand to help the garbage off the land, and a compliment to the government.

there's a fee for the it, but you can rest assured that your garbage will be picked up at a particular date, at a particular hour, by a particular person. i treasure garbage like noman's business, it is so good to me. it has given me all that i need in my life, i eat drink sleep, drive garbage. all that is from garbage. and i call it the gold in garbage. >> it is an old idea, from our old people, they used to make brickiests from mud. but we just carbonizing the garbage. and mixing with the clay. so we come out with a brickiests. we collect this every day. this is some of the garbage

so this is waywe collect from households from markets from on the streets this is one of the vegetable materials for our products. >> this is already started out so that it can dry quickly this is what we will get carbonized to get a sheer powder this is the carbonizing drum we will carbonize anything. this is banana leaves, dried banana leaves. they work well. this made of wood from the trees being cust in the forrest. this is made from the rubbish we are trying to discouraging this type of charcoal, and use this type of charcoal. >> they are using the

brickiests and they like the brickiests. it is smoke free, it is cheap it is economic. when we see garbage we see gold because you don't have to put any anything, you collect, and dry and make money out of it, it is gold, it is money. my slogan is clean money. you make yourself dirty and then you get money. this machine, it is something i invitation vented after i realizing that i could not compress these brick ets well, and anyway, they don't look so nice as compared to this. the one used with hands you can see the difference. this looks more pretty. as compared to this. and i really wanted to take them to the market as compared to my other competitors that are using products can hand, me i had to think because i

really wanted to come one a brick t that look as little bit nicer. so i wanted a machine that can press it. it is manual, it is also a bit henning tick, but at least you can produce around 80 pieces at once, right now i am thinking of another machine that can produce very fast as compared to this one. so it increases my production. and i am really happy with it. i feel so proud of it, even people that used to despise me call me names like running mad, you are crazy now they love me. they love the job they love what i do. some of them, they want even to start doing what i am doing, you know how can i go

for that. it is something very different, i have my degree go for that. >> now trying to learn how to do it. but it is one of the boys that used to despise my work. >> clean money. >> really, i think if everyone can see that treasure in garbage, this world is going to be very very good. >> garbage people earn a living out of it. and it is a source of income, and a source of living for the people here. this is a way of living without begging. and i don't have to depend on handouts but i say let me do trash, and today i am proud to be called the garbage collector, and i refer to myself as a garbage collector but in a simple way it means

trash. so trash is my fame and i love it because it has fed me, it has made me who i am today. i think i look better, i think i look better because of trash, i love trash. >> this garbage i collect i know i will be a very rich woman in this country. very very rich. yes. >> and they will be cashing in that's america tonight remember if you like to comment on the stories you will see log on to our website, aljazeera.com/america tonight, and join the conversation with us on twitter or our facebook page, good night we will see you next time for more america tonight. >> hundreds of days in
