10:00 pm
breaking news, a massacre in egypt and a bloody mess for washington. later tonight, hannah anderson tells the story of her abduction and why she is glad the man who kidnapped her, a close family friend, is dead. the controversy continues as new york and chicago start a war of words over a key question, is it plain old good policing or old-fashioned racial profiling wch he call in the philadelphia police chief to referee. we begin with breaking news. the war fought on the streets of egypt and the huge problem it has become for the obama administration. at this hour, state of emergency is in effect across the country and 278 people, mostly opposition members, mostly in cairo, are dead. this is video of egyptian security forces raiding one of the camps there. they moved in accompanied by
10:01 pm
tear gas and live ammunition. you can hear shooting in the background as troops kick a wounded man around. said a protester who escaped, it is an open war. the raids touching off battles. muslim brotherhood fighters pushing an armored personnel carrier off the bridge. it is a rallying point leading to tahrir square during the 2011 uprising the images coming in, the images now reflekt little inspiration but plenty of desperation. muslim brotherhood supporters have been living in camps the last month and a half since the military ousted mohamed morsi. their frustration building them rule military making it clear for weeks now they wanted them out. so when the clearing of the camp started this morning it came as no surprise but meant danger for anyone close by. >> for the muslim brotherhood it is a battle for some of the hard-core supporters.
10:02 pm
you will -- at the same time you have -- [ gun fire ] >> clearly using live ammunition. they are firing in to the street. flr protesters, security forces all over cairo and this one looks like it is about to get very ugly. >> secretary of state john kerry called events deplorable. egyptian vice president foreign affairs has turned in his resignation. the obama administration is considering calling off the military exercises with egypt. with questions growing about the president's handling, not just this chapter but the entire saga in egypt. arwa is joining us tonight. it is the middle of the night now. quiet compared to earlier today. what have you seen and heard? >> well, cure few full on in
10:03 pm
effect. it is quiet odd how eerily quiet the streets have been, especially compared to everything we saw during the day. the egyptian security forces not having to deal with clearing the morsi supporters from those two main sit-in sites but multiple front lines at the same time. we saw morsi supporters trying to gather breakthrough the riot police's ranks. we saw them actually taking over another square in cairo, where they were as of tonight, as well, when we returned back to that location, digging in there. taik setting up makeshift barricades. field hospitals, readying themselves for more clashes. an the other issue here too anderson is the fighting we are seeing taking place, the violence, it's not just clashes that are breaking out between those who support mohamed morsi and the security forces. you are seeing clashes between morsi supporters and residents
10:04 pm
in various neighborhoods where these sit-ins, the marches are taking place. additionally to all of this, neighborhood watch, young men in various neighborhoods taking batons, setting up check points, searching vehicles. it's a very unpredictable situation right now, especially here in the capital of cairo. >> basically you have both sides pointing fingers at each other for the violence. based on what you saw, what can you report about who's responsible for the death? >> well, you know, the vast majority of over supporters. the security forces, government, is saying their initial intent was simply to lay siege to these two sit-in sites to allow those who were there to be able to exit but they were going to preevent anyone from entering. they are claiming they were shot
10:05 pm
at first by these demonstrators and then the situation rapidly escalating from there. people who were at these demonstration sites saying that these security force barely issuing any warning whatsoever are moving in, immediately beginning to fire, intense volleys of tear gas and live ammunition, as well. anderson, we did not see any of these demonstrators carrying weapons. that's not to say they weren't. however, there are more than 40 people who were killed, members of the egyptian police force in all of this. so pre who were shooting at them. the cause of those deaths. this is very much a blame game at this stage. the great concern, though, is because these demonstrators are still taking to the streets, in lesser numbers than were in the two sit ins but they are effectively taking to the street. the concern is these clashes will continue. >> stay.
10:06 pm
there i want to bring in ivan watson who is here in new york. you have spent a lot of time in egypt the last couple of years and you have seen this firsthand. where does this go from here? the muslim brotherhood is not going away. the muslim brotherhood was outlawed for decades and remained. obviously it is on its heels right now but they are not going away. >> that's what is so frightening here. what does the military want the end game to be? do they expect the islamists and egypt will simply disappear? if this was a tenacious organization that survived torture and imprisonment in previous decades they are not going to disappear. the experiment of democracy in egypt that we kind of saw the beginnings of in 2011, i think it is clear when you see this carnage and death toll that it's over. the fear is in the -- on the border with israel there are jihad disand al qaeda-linked
10:07 pm
groups that are waging open insurgency against egyptian security forces. there have been more deaths in the last couple of days and could that spread now? you have closed the door to the democratic process to the preeminent islamic political force in egypt. what other avenue does it have? >> arwa, we don't have arwa anymore, now you have neighborhood groups which is something we saw in 2011. it seems to be fracturing more and more in to groups taking the law in to their own hands. >> it's frightening when you see the cycle of violence and the fabric of society starting to fray. that was kind of knit together in 2011 after there was a crime spree and people were very worried and they took charge of protecting their own neighborhoods and things like that. that was followed by an historic period of elections and things that had egyptians very excited.
10:08 pm
they got the freedom to vote. how are you going to follow this crackdown when you have had hundreds of people killed, not only today but in previous bouts of violence in the last six weeks. >> do they have a role in the elections? are they able to run. >> how can they? the president is in prison. the first democratically elected president of egypt. most of the leadership is under arrest and now this carnage. >> we have arwa back. the situation you described, the neighborhood groups, it seems it is fracturing by the hour almost. >> it does really feel as if one is slowly beginning to watch the unraveling of society. and we need to look back at how we reached this point in time. on june 30th there were an unprecedented number of egyptians that took to the streets demanding the resignation of mohamed morsi calling for early elections and that then gave the military the
10:09 pm
support they believed it needed to go oust former president mohamed morsi. since then, tensions in egypt have only been increasing. society the population growing more polarized in these pro and anti-morsi camps. in additionally to all of this, and this is very disturbing as well, some of the violence we saw today, mobs of morsi supporters attacking police stations and also, anderson, attacking a number of churches across the country, as well. >> arwa, and ivan, i want to bring in daily beast 'nique correspondent and he is usually a defender of the administration but not so much on this case and national security analyst fran townsend. she serves on the cia and department of homeland security advisory board. fran, what's your sense of where this goes. >> they declared a state of emergency because they suspect the violence will continue. when you see the fatalities and
10:10 pm
the injuries and numbers we have seen. reports of over 900 injured in addition to the deaths we have reported. you have got to expect this is not just simply going to stop. the security services have made perfectly clear their willingness to revert to brutality and violence. the pictures speak for themselves. look, you have got to -- if you want to move to the democratic society that ivan and arwa have spoken about, you have to be inclusive. in this country there are plenty of groups that stand for ideals that the majority of the population don't believe in, but they can be heard. they can be safe and secure in raising their voices and they can run for public office. we choose not to elect people whose ideals we disagree with but egypt will have to work its way to a process. the military can't sideline them and expect them not to revert to violent activity in the streets. >> peter, we talk about what
10:11 pm
egypt can do. is there much the u.s. can do here? obviously the u.s. gives a lot of aid but at eu it seems like at this point the generals don't care if that continues or not, that they aid can be replaced by saudi arabia or somewhere else. >> the real questions historians will be looking at is would it have made a difference at the moment of the coup? when it was still a possibility of restoring morsi or forcing the military not to go down this path? if the u.s. at that point said we are cutting off aid, taken a blunt, unequivocal stance, instead of what the obama administration did which is trying to have both ways, saying we are not going to cut off aid. we step that morsi won't come back but try to be restrained. >> you used the word coup the administration has not. >> they didn't want to want to use the word coup because it would require cutting off aid. in hindsight they were too nuanced trying to split the
10:12 pm
difference and their message didn't get through. at that moment, perhaps, the u.s. could have stopped the military. we don't know but it would have had a better chance than it does now. >> all along, in all of this, how much impact do you think the u.s. could have had in even in the overthrow of mubarak there were many criticizing obama's administration for not supporting mubarak longer. you and i were there. the sense on the street was it didn't matter what the u.s. was going to do. events on the ground in egypt are happening at a pace that is irregardless of what the united states is doing. >> that's right. you mentioned saudi arabia, but this is an instance where egypt is such a powerful force in the arab world. and with its arab allies. this is a place where our arab allies can be more influential than we can. i think if it walks and walks like a duck it's a duck. this is a coup. we can debate why the administration didn't use it. i happen to agree with peter.
10:13 pm
they didn't use it because of the consequences of that but it was clearly a coup. the fact is, though, the problem with cutting off aid, you have to play the chess game of moving the pieces down the board. if we removed ourselves and removed the aid, someone who has different foreign policy agenda might have filled that gap, so russia or qatar or others with whom -- >> but look at saudi arabia. talk about saudi arabia could have an impact. saudi arabia doesn't want a democratic egypt, do they? they don't want that example of democracy. >> the stability is what many analysts -- >> but i think what fran was saying correctly is there ultimately will be no stability without the islamists having the opportunity to express themselves politically. because the u.s. didn't -- the u.s. was equivocal and the gulf states came down on behalf of the military leading. and we have a syria situation
10:14 pm
where we have turkey, and the gulf states playing it out with egypt as their battlefield. >> quickly, peter, do you see this going to wider conflict? or erupting larger within egypt? you don't have the sake sectarian divisions exactly. i think the question is a concerning one. you have the possibility of the most powerful dmunt the middle east being essentially an open battlefield in which you could imagine people starting to arm elements of the muslim brotherhood. they have supporters all over the middle east and that's a truly frightening situation. >> i think there's a real -- i think the saudis want stability. they didn't want to seymorecy as a member of the muslim brotherhood in power so regional actors are playing through their own agendas and i think that fuels the conflict. >> dangerous days. thank you so much. arwa, stay safe. african-american police chief on why, controversial or not, his department uses stop
10:15 pm
and frisk. and hannah anderson opens up on-line about her captivity and what she thinks of the killer who kidnapped her. i think farmers care more about the land than probably anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us. ♪ hooking up the country whelping business run ♪ ♪ trains! they haul everything, safely and on time. ♪ tracks! they connect the factories built along the lines. and that means jobs, lots of people, making lots and lots of things.

10:18 pm
ok. i just love this one... and it's next to a park. i love it. i love it too. here's our new house... daddy! you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen. keeping them honest tonight. stop and frisk new york's controversial policy of detaining and searching people every day in hopes of redeucing
10:19 pm
crime. on monday, a federal judge called it discriminatory and put limits on it. and a police officer reacted telling "the new york post" welcome to chicago meaning say good-bye to new york's plummeting murder raid. if that's what the judge wants, crime will go up. the chicago pd taking sharp objection. he said we had significantly less crime and fewer shootings and murders of any year since 1965 without imposing on the right of residents. who is right? can you operate a stop and frisk program without discriminating and alienating communities and whose help you need to do it. let's talk about it with philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey whose department uses a version of stop and frisk and crystal wright, and criminal defense attorney mark geragos. your city faced something similar situation and michael bloomberg have pointed to crime rates going up as a result of those reforms, and when the mayor was first pressed on this issue last year he sate quote,
10:20 pm
why would any rational person want to trade the situation we have here in philadelphia, more murders, higher crime? to that you say what? >> i say he's wrong. our murders are actually down 30% this year, shootings down 18%, overall crime is down significantly in philadelphia. we did enter into an agreement, i think, in the long run it will be for the betterment of the department. >> explain that. does stop and frisk work? >> well, it's not a question of just if it works. does it work? yes. we have to make sure as police to make sure whatever we do we do within constitutional guidelines. we can't just sacrifice all constitutional rights in order to impact crime. i think you can -- you can do both. i think you can impact crime and do so within constitutional guidelines. stop, question and frisk is a valuable tool but has to be done correctly. >> there are a lot of people, though, who say look, this is not racial profiling this is going where crime is.
10:21 pm
to that you say what? >> well, it is going where crime is but you still need reasonable suspicion before you can temporary detain a person for investigating purposes. you also have to have reasonable belief a person is armed and dangerous before you conduct a frisk. it's pretty clear, and i think we need to focus on training for officers but we need to make sure we have in place audits to make sure they are doing it correctly. we have to record all stops in philadelphia. we do have a multi-layered approach toward auditing the stops to make sure they are being done properly and in the long run, it's better for the community and department and better for everybody concerned. >> crystal, you support what new york has been doing, but a vast majority of the people who are stopped and frisked are released. they have done nothing wrong. >> i agree with commissioner ramsey. we have to go where the crime is, and the crime is overwhelmingly in new york city
10:22 pm
in predominantly black neighborhoods, and the crime being committed in new york city is overwhelmingly done by minorities, particularly black males. this is an inconvenient truth but reality. why would you stop somebody like a norwegian tourist when they they are not committing the crime. i agree we need to honor the constitution, the fourth amend the against unreasonable search, but the fact is, police officers under the fourth amendment have the right to reasonable searches. do we need to revisit the program periodically how to train officers? sure. there is one thing to disagree with the commissioner on and that is from what i've read, your crime rate is going up. crimes have gone -- increased in philadelphia compared to last year before you engaged this this settlement. now, you know, i think that we would -- you may disagree with me on this but from what i see that's happening in philadelphia, we've taken the
10:23 pm
politically correct route and let's make sure the police officers aren't ticking off anybody. >> i don't know what you read or care what you read, but that is just simply not true, and if it is true, you can't tie it right back into any settlement agreement that we may have entered into. i mean crime -- crime fluctuates for a variety of reasons. >> you also said, commissioner ramsey, that you didn't think it was inappropriate for people to assume because you are stopping a black individual that you didn't have the right as an officer, our officers to stop that individual, just because of his race. i think that is a dialogue that we need to have. >> it's not about race. it's about what is that person doing? what is the behavior? are you responding to a flash message? does the person fit the flash? >> right. >> is the person a member of the gang and you are looking at retaliation as a possibility an they are known to carry weapons.
10:24 pm
you have to have more -- listen, there are more decent law-abiding people living in black communities, hispanic communities than criminals and you can't paint everybody with the same brush. you just can't do it. >> i'm going to disagree with you and like i said before about the crime. the crime is occurring a a higher rate in predominantly black neighborhoods and there is a reason why when anderson was growing up. >> what's the reason. >> because hoff the breakdown in the family. there's no fathers. >> it is an economic -- >> let her finish. chicago's black male genocide central. >> i am from chicago. i grew up in inglewood and if you know about chicago you know about inglewood and gangs and issues. i was a chicago policeman for 30 years. i have been place chief in washington, d.c. for nine i have been police commissioner in philadelphia for five and a half. i didn't come out so bad and i came out in inglewood. you cannot paint every black
10:25 pm
person that -- >> don't distort what i said. >> or being more prone to crime. >> that's not what i sait said. you are misrepresenting what i said. >> we need to take a break. hold those thoughts. we will continue the conversation after the break. a and hannah anderson goes on-line and gets candid about the horrific ordeal she survived. what she is saying and how it may affect her recovery ahead. and didn't know where to start. a contractor before at angie's list, you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare written by people just like you. no company can pay to be on angie's list, so you can trust what you're reading. angie's list is like having thousands of close neighbors, where i can go ask for personal recommendations. that's the idea. before you have any work done, check angie's list. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. i love you, angie. sorry, honey.

10:27 pm
10:29 pm
welcome back. keeping them honest. we are continuing the conversation on stop and frisk. commissioner ramsey, you were trying to make a point before the break. i want to pick it up there. >> here the bottom line. as police, we have to make sure that we exercise the enormous authority that think public has given us in a constitutional way. we do not abuse people's rights. we do not say that there's more -- all black people are criminals or there are more in this community or more in that community. there are some in every community. we need to weed them out, but we need to do so in a fashion where we do not disrupt the decent law-abiding people that are just trapped in an environment that they don't want to be in anymore
10:30 pm
than you would want to be in. >> commissioner, in your experience, charles blow, a columnist was on the program the other day with crystal and mark. one of his points was that the experience for a young black male, say, of being pulled over, of being stopped and frisked and not having anything on you. statistics show most people who are stopped and frisked are let go. nothing is found on them. that builds a sense of humiliation and resentment toward the police and the police are not there to help us. they are there to monitor us. that long term actually hurts law enforcement because there's not that sense of cooperation. do you agree with that? >> well, it does have a negative impact on our relationships. most of the complaints i get are not about the stop. it's about how they were treated during the stop. it goes back to training and making sure that police officers can do their job, but do so by
10:31 pm
still treating people in a respectful way. >> i agree with the commissioner. police officers should be trained. they have to -- i think stop and frisk, you continue to monitor the training. how are the police doing this in the field? >> we can go about and make neighborhoods safer, and people want us to make them safer. at the same time, they want us to respect the rights they have. even criminals have rights. everybody's got rights. it's the way in which we go about doing our job, the way we go about investigating, the way we write it up. most of the stops are probably good stops but the cops write them up terribly and don't justify the reasons why. it's a problem. >> when you look at the reason a police officer says they pulled somebody over, like -- movement. does that worry you, as somebody who respects the constitution? does it worry you that there is a police officer that that person made a defertive movement
10:32 pm
on the street and i can frisk him. >> i said from the beginning, the police need training. they need to evaluate how and why they are pulling people over. and behavioral things. what are the signs you are looking for. we need constant training. what i do know is new york city safer is and i want to go back to -- i think it is less than 2% of the people who are stopped and frisked have guns on them. however, wouldn't you argue that because folks know either stopped and frisked going on in new york city they are going to think twice before packing a gun and doing something bad. >> no. i think there's a lot of people who would argue the reason there's only 2% is because you have draconian gun enforcement laws in new york and they don't want to be caught with them. remember plaxico, he shot himself and ended up going to state prison. >> 400 murders last year. >> 400 murders as a percentage, i don't think, if i'm in a particular community -- if a
10:33 pm
small tiny percentage of constituents in my community. >> 8 million people in new york. >> i don't want to give up my constitutional rights. >> i want to leave you the last word. my understanding in new york when stop and frisk has gone down 20% because of increased monitoring and training crime hasn't gone up a corresponding 20%. which if stop and frisk is the reason that crime has reduced in new york you would think that a 20% reduction of stop and frisk would have raised the crime, but it hasn't is my understanding. >> new york has done a tremendous job of lowering its crime rate the last couple of decades. there's no question about that. we are not talking about stopping stop and frisk. if we don't straighten up our act as police we will lose it and have a problem. we were supposed to do this segment yesterday. the reason i didn't do it is because i had a policeman shot in the stomach by a person with 12 prior arrests carrying a
10:34 pm
stolen firearm and he shoots one of my policeman in point blank range under his vest and he is fighting for his life as we speak. we encounter some dangerous people out there on the street. no one knows it better than i do. at the same time, we can't just go through that neighborhood that that particular person is from, throw everybody on the wall, start random searches of people simply because we had that take place. we have to go after the people causing harm, have reasonable suspicion and basis for the stop that we need to have so that we can preserve the tools that we have available to us. >> commissioner ramsey, appreciate you being on and our best the that officer. we hope that officer recovers. crystal wright great to have you on, as well. mark geragos, thank you so much. >> thank you. a lot more happening tonight. susan hendrix is here with the 360 bulletin. the army private first class bradley manning apologized for his actions today. at his sentencing hearing he said he hurt people an the united states by leaking tens of

welcome back. new details about what was found at the burned out home of hannah anderson's kidnapper's home james dimaggio. the bodies of christina anderson and the family dog were discovered in a detached garage. a crowbar next to her body anded in the remains of ethan anderson. and they noted that his sister made an unusually large number of calls to him on the day of the fire. it shows that hannah anderson and dimaggio called each other 1 13 times. dimaggio was killed by an fbi tactical agent after a massive manhunt and tonight we learn why she didn't try to escape from him. he would have killed me.
10:41 pm
that's what hannah said in what amounts to her first public interview in an on-line chat room. she fielded questions on-line about what happened the night that dimaggio killed them. she is a 16-year-old girl doing what often teenagers do. >> 16-year-old hannah anderson is sharing details about her kidnapping on social media. she fielded questions on the site ask.fm about her abduction by the man she knew as uncle jim, james dimaggio. a user asked did you want to go with dimaggio, no not at all. why didn't you one? >> he was my dad's best friend and i didn't want to ruin anything between them. hannah shed new light on the night she was kidnapped the same night her mother and brother were murdered their bodies burned in di imagine yoes's house. >> how did he separate you from
10:42 pm
your mom and mother. he died them up in the garage. how did he keep the fire a secret? had it set where it could catch fire at a certain time. some questions from subscriber were blunt, did he rape you? i'm not allowed to talk about so don't ask questions about it, thauchlt are you glad he's dead? absolutely. some experts question the wisdom of hannah's on-line chats. >> she is a 16-year-old that is traumatized, in a state of trauma. sometimes in a numb state you do things you don't consider the consequences. >> hannah posted a selfy and engaged in lighter conversation, typical of a teenager girl but that seemed painful. what design did you get on your nails? pink for my mom and blue for thachbl those who knew her say she spent some of tuesday helping to plan their funerals. >> hannah's father asked for
10:43 pm
privacy after her rescue. the postings came as a surprise to a lot of people. i want to bring in rebecca bailey. she is jaycee dugard's therapist. is it healthy for her to answer questions from strangers on-line three days after she was free? >> you know, as usual i go to the go-to place which i can't judge if it is healthy or not for her. she, as you said, is a 16-year-old girl processing a tremendously traumatic experience in the only way that she knows how at this point. >> i guess -- one of the conversations -- someone asked her if her dad knew she was answering these questions and she said that quote he knows. it would be hard, i guess as a parent in the situation to strike the right balance between being vigilant and giving your daughter the space she needs.
10:44 pm
