>> this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm stephanie sy. police call it a mistake. the prosecutors in oklahoma say that they're considering charging a reserves deputy in the killing of a black unarmed man. this video has been made public and it says a lot. >> it says a lot. there is a lot going on in this story. 44-year-old issuing harris accused of selling an illegal gun to an undercover officer made a run for it when the police pulled him over. then this happened. >> the video from a police body camera. this is what you just heard. a gunshot rings out and a police

officers says, oh, i shot him i'm sorry. the suspect said, he shot me, oh my god and explains he's losing his breath. the officer's reply. f your breath. the shooter was 73-year-old robert bates who meant to shoot harris with his stun gun but used his gun. harris was announced dead an hour later. this comes a week after the shooting of another unarmed black man in south carolina also shot by an officer when he started to run that was for being pulled over for a broken taillight. this after another man killed in new york being arrested by police, he's saying

i can't breathe. here is one tweet from user i can't breath. "new york times" opinion writer charles blow tweeted this message yesterday. it seems i can't wake up these days without another person of color being killed by police. and this cartoon shows a cop pointing a gun at a man lying on the ground with the line, you have the right to remain silent. now harris did have a previous criminal record, and this incident happened when police say he was trying to sell a .9mm pistol to an undercover officer but bates has not been charged. >> tell me about inster. >> he has been a reserve officer and he's actually an former insurance agent. he donated thousands of dollars to be a volunteer cop. so the family is questioning now why would he even allowed to be in such a dangerous and tense situation? and released the statement we do

not believe its reasonable or responsible for tcso to accept gifts from a wealthy citizen who wants to be a pay to play cop. >> morgan radford thank you. sentencing began for ten jaders educators who were charged who conspired to change scores on standardized tests. andy gallagher is live outside of the courtroom with the latest. it looks like they just sworn in another witness. what are the protesters saying? >> what they're calling for is

leniency. there are 11 people, but there are only 10 people here because the 11 person gave birth saturday. is racketeering is normally reserved for organized crime and they feel that the state has overreached call forgive their jobs. they say these people served time in jail. when they were convicted they were sent off in handcuffs and they should be sentenced for time served. this is cheating on standardized testing is at the heart of this. they were accused of cheating including dozens of principals and 44 schools in the atlanta school system. they say that standardized testing puts undo undue pressure on the teachers, the pupils,

unrealistic standards for them to pass, and they say that these teachers are victims of a wideer system and they want these teachers to be shown leniency. the eighth floor is full of family and supporters all trying to put pressure on the judge here to reduce the sentences, in fact even to do away with them all together and release these 11 people today. >> some of which you're bringing up are systemic issues faced not only by the atlanta school system but other school systems. when it comes to atlanta hows has this changed the system? what impact has it had? >> it's had a huge impact. at the heart of this story we've heard a lot of testimony from parents of children along this long trial which lasted for a couple of years about how it's ruined their child's life. how they were put up a grade by

the cheating on this school system how it disadvantaged these children. many of the schools who were accused of cheating had grants removed, grants which would have helped their pupils from poor backgrounds to increase their education. it is a widespread problem in atlanta. this investigation began three years ago. 180 employees which 38 of them were principals in 44 schools across the atlanta area. there was even talk that teachers gathered to have a dinner parties where they would change test scores to improve test scores. at the heart of this was dr. beverly hall. she died of breast cancer. she would face charges if she were still align. she said there is widespread cheating and she would humiliate them and demote them. but there are many here

supporting her saying she was doing her job trying to react to the undue pressure. the only realistic goals of these standardized tests across the entire country. >> andy gallagher reporting to us from atlanta. thank you. hillary clinton is on the road today. the former secretary of state is driving to iowa kicking off her presidential campaign in a van nicknamed scooby. her big announcement came in an online video. >> i'm getting ready to do something, too. i'm running for president. every day americans need a champion and i want to be that champion. >> clinton's campaign strategy so far is reminiscent of the listening tour in her bid for senate in 2000. i spoke to a former aide to clinic to but "b" how she's approaching the campaign. >> you'll see a different clinton campaign. some of the criticism of the 2008 campaign was that the

campaign was too bill ledge rent to the media in this campaign you'll see a lot more intimacy, a lot more individual interaction with voters even though presidential campaigns are sort of in the air in terms of media-driven, but you'll see more intimacy a better relationship with the media and i think she'll start to highlight a lot of things she may have shied away from in 2008. a lot of issues particularly i think the issue of gender. i think now with a little bit more of an opening you can--you can count on hillary clinton to talk about gender issues because it's not just about being the first woman to become president of the united states. this is also about reforming reshaping, recasting what it means to be a democrat in 2016. so i think you'll hear some of that come out more.

>> republicans, of course, are reacting to the news of clinton's run. many with criticism over clinton's past and her ties to president obama. >> hillary clinton represents the fail policies of the past. does america want a third obama term or are we ready for strong conservative leadership to make america great again? >> we must do better than the obama-clinton foreign policy which has damaged relationships with our allies and emboldened their enemies. rather than failed big government policies that grow our debt, i believe its conservative ideas that will renew america. >> clinton's announcement set off a flurry of fundraising. both ted cruz and jeb bush called on support tours donate to their campaign. rand paul entered the field last week. marco rubio is throwing his hat

in the ring. david shuster takes a look at rubio's political career. >> thank you very much. >> marco rubio also cuts a high profile in the republican party. his youth iowa tracktive personal history prompted mitt romney to consider as a potential running mate. highways been courting campaign donors through political action committee called reclaim america and facing primary states to promote his back american dreams. it details his experience as a son of cuban immigrants. >> america doesn't owe me anything. but i've debt to america that i will never be able to repay. for me america isn't just a country. it's the place that literally changed the history of my family. >> it's this narrative the young senator hopes to leverage and it's a story that could appeal

to hispanic americans a crucial voting bloc that has been siding with democrats. rubio is also linked to immigration reform a top latino concerns. he sponsored a bill with the gang of eight. the recommendation called for tighter border security, legal status for some undocumented workers, and perhaps the most controversial part for the g.o.p. a pathway to citizenship. >> many republicans compared it to amnesty and were infuriated at rubio. this year at c pac the biggest annual conservative christians, rubio spoke with sean hannity. >> i wasn't very popular, i don't know if you know that from some of the folks here. but a million people a year come to this country legally. it's all based on whether or not you have a family member here. it can't continue to be based on family alone. it has to be based on america

and economic contribution. >> it passed the u.s. senate but was not even considered in the republican-led house. for the past two years rubio has distanced himself from his own legislation. >> you have ten or 12 million people in this country. many who have lived here longer than a decade, otherwise has not violated our laws, you can't begin--what i've learned is you can't even have a conversation about that until people believe and know not just believe but it's proven to them that future illegal immigration will be control. >> rubio eyes against abortion rights "poses same-sex marriage and reject aggressive gun control but it's on foreign policy where he stands out. he's outspoken on security issues and hawkish on iran. >> this is a road that current administration has put us on. it has given the president of iran more respect than the prime

minister of israel. >> iranio called the president the single worst negotiator we've had in the white house in my lifetime. >> the white house has conceded everything. and gained little. they gain no commitment on the part of the cuban regime for freedom of press or freedom of speech or elections. >> rubio is likely to be competing directly against his long-time mentor and friend former governor jeb bush, that may be his biggest obstacle. bush backed rubio in his 2010 run. but with bush's larger network of political donors nationwide and in florida rubio could have trouble funding a competitive campaign beyond the early prime primary contest rubio insists that both candidates offer an unique message and jeb bush will not hurt his chances. david schuster, al jazeera. >> and we will have live coverage of senator rubio's
