coast. new yorkers got quite a scare when iraq's prime minister warned of an imminent attack on the subway system here and in paris. and it only got more complicated with u.s. officials saying it is not true. >> we have big news in washington. attorney general eric holder resigning his post. the latest on that for you. >> experts to weigh in on a dramatic scene in south carolina. caught on dashboard camera. an unarmed man, getting shot by a state trooper. what happens next? we'll show you. >> and lisa ling is here to talk about her, her exiting her exciting, should say, excuse me, new series. >> not exiting the series. it's sunday night here on cnn. dishing about changes at her old haunt. >> can't wait to hear that. >> take time to enjoy "the view" this hour. right. >> begin with warning that scared americans. senior white house correspondent, jim acosta joins us, now, what happened, jim?
8:02 pm
[ no audio ] >> we are obviously having audio problem with jim acosta's microphone. he is going to update us about the subway scare that ended up not being accurate. >> yeah, the iraqi prime minister came out and said they had a credible threat, he said threat, or forwarded a, thwarted a threat by isis for subway in paris, new york city and u.s. counterterrorism, and members of homeland security didn't know about this, fbi had no idea about this threat. there was consternation going back and forth and law makers in washington. >> forced the mayor of new york and police commissioner come out and assuage the fears of new yorkers to say it is okay. in fact we will show you how okay it is. we will ride the subway. everything is fine. and the iraqi prime minister got
8:03 pm
it from prisoners, from detainees that had given that. basically what one of our experts said, he is not used to dealing with the american media who takes everything literally and we follow up on things like that. >> we should. kidding what is going on. air strikes. led by the u.s. there is a coalition. cnn's jim acosta in washington. working now? is it working now? we can hear you now. we did a little dancing. >> that's good. >> scared a lot of people today. >> it really did. i used to live in new york. any time something look this happens it gets everybody very worried. let me walk you through this. because i think there is sort of a, rational explanation here. this all started when iraq's new pr prime minister told reporters that baghdad officials had information about imminent isis terror plot aimed at subways in new york and paris. officials at the white house, the fbi director, talking to the
8:04 pm
folks all way. they were not aware of such a plot. a lot of confusion. bill de blazio went out in front of the cameras said people can safely ride the big apple subway. to sort confusion out. a big state department official, brett mcgirk, said wait a minute, what is going on here. he confirmed with brett mcgirk essentially no threat. according to mcgirk, the prime minister was speaking about dangers in general terms. sound look this was a literal lost in translation moment that happened over, at the u.n. whereas you said, alyson, perhaps the prime minister didn't have the words right. people took it as, "whoa, talking if netalk ing an -- talking about an imminent threat, there wasn't one." >> as i was getting on the subway. should i take a taxi.
8:05 pm
no, i will not be scared. >> good for you, don lemon. you will show everybody. >> most new yorkers. other big news out of the white house, attorney general eric holder resigning. he is really one of the last holdouts from the old chicago group that came. eric holder, the third. now he is going. how did that come abut? >> he is very tight with president obama, don. appare apparently, eric holder has been hoping to leave for some time. one of the toughest jobs in washington next to being the president. the president kept asking him to stay on longer. now official. holder is stretching down as attorney general. we know that. how soon. a was official said the president is likely to take his time making a decision in replacing holder who had become very close friends with mr. obama over the last several years. a receive lagsshlationship visi was today. take a look. >> this is builter sweet with his typical dedication, eric has
8:11 pm
easy to think this was just about the driver being black and there was something subconscious going on. the driver was pulled over. approached for a seatbelt violation. there is another element, this officer was given a medal of valor, earlier, i think a year ago for shooting a bank robber, a bank robbery in progress. he was lauded by the community. you anniversary know.
8:12 pm
my point is, you never know what is in somebody's head. >> i think there are some concerns about, applauding him for shooting someone. he wasn't shooting some one for threatening a patron at the bank. he shot someone. kudos to him. he should not be applauded or an award for that. >> that's what officers do they shoot bank robbers. >> they arrest bad guys. >> that's not -- >> go ahead. >> don't think, you are competing claims here. could have ptsd. could make him pren one to shoo quickly when he perceives a threat. not that he sees black people as threats more than other people. that's often the case when people are traumatized they see threats more quickly and everreact more. race informs that decision. gender informs that decision. >> there may be another insight to look at this videotape and tell us what it says. that's this. people act in very strange ways under perceived threats, or trauma. i don't think this cop went to
8:13 pm
do so. but when he felt threatened, he everrea overreacted in a way he didn't intend. could have been a tragic result. just a overreaction to a trauma. >> why is the gun out on a seatbelt stop? no threat to anyone else. frankly middle of the day at a crowded gas station. look behind him. cars there. he is shooting. hit him twice. shot four times. bullet going astray. citizens are threatened. >> listen, police officer under, police officers have a tough job. they're under a lot of pressure. i think, i think, o'mara is right. this is an issue of perception. bias. he could have a lauded career before this. in this instance what the videotape shows. overreacts. wrong reaction to someone following his orders. we sti haven't seen the video,
8:14 pm
jonathan's case. >> by the way, you should commend the agency for acting so quickly. this officer was fired and charged, with aggravated assault and battery. the system worked here. >> the system worked just as, justice is awesome. i hope people inferri ferguson watching. this its what its supposed to happen. the guy violated the rules. acknowledged violating the rules. said his name out loud and enacted justice. i'm excited to see it happen. >> as of now there is no videotape. ferguson. it is clear. there is video. audio. evidence of what is happening here. >> the difference. looking for it. i'm not saying make up evidence. have a kangaroo court. have a commitment to truth and justice. that's what we saw here. that's why it worked. that's why i am happy. not happy to death, i'm happy semblance of justice was formed. >> ahead, another

before we get to that. can we get to the nba story, regarding ray rice. tonight we are hearing that law enforcement source claims that they sent the second ray rice individually to the attention of the nfl of the security chief that was back in april he has responded saying he didn't see it. does this change anything, mark hill? >> it doesn't change any of our perceptions. i said i didn't believe the nfl. in terms of what happens it will put better scrutiny on the nfl to make a case they dent know. doesn't pass the basic smell test here. people didn't believe it. if roger goodell knew something or was so extravagant. trying to give him plausible deniability. he will have to go. at some point it looks like he lied to us. that is a problem. >> o'mara they're making the case they didn't know. here is the case they're making. they released this statement. they said that the head security says i unequivocally deny that i
8:20 pm
received at any time a copy of the video and i had not watched it until it was made public on september 8th. so. >> if he is, if he is that incompetent he should be fired from his job. in his office or on his desk for six months he is going to till us now he didn't take the time to look at it, or that it was being discussed for six months. he should be fired. honestly i don't believe someone would write a statement that, in the office, they run it. didn't know anything about it. >> we have another case now of an athlete who is being charged with domestic abuse, we mentioned the charlotte hornets player, jeffrey matthew taylor arrested this morning on the charge of domestic assault and destruction of property. i believe the light has been shown on this. and i think more people are going to start coming out and talking abut th aing about this more open. chris? >> also the power of social
8:21 pm
media. social media promotes social justice. these leagues should be held accountable for training athletes about domestic violence and how to deal with contentious situations other than violently. but also, look at statistics on a number of athletes who end up broken in the nfl, such a short time after leaving the league. then you have got a $40 million ceo who says he, not only doesn't watch the video. he doesn't feel a duty to watch the video. there are a lot of issues and leadership in the league that need to be addressed in the nfl and nba who is also experiencing issues with racial discrimination. >> very good point. >> mark, want to talk about another developing crime story. more breaking new that happened to day. that was of course, that police announce they'd had in custody the suspect in the uva missing student case. jesse matthew. he was wanted in virginia. arrested in texas. here is his perp walk. they're charging him with something peculiar, charge
8:22 pm
abduction with intent to defile. hannah graham. some people think that they're actually isn't enough evidence here. we don't know about any forensic tests. they haven't come back yet. what do you think of this arrest? >> well, probable cause is not hard to come up with, when you are trying it. investigators were looking for him wanted a good reason to bring him in. prob bum cause warrant is what they used. i will defer to them for a few days they said they had probable cause. they want to talk to him. don't want him getting lost. my concern is when they're going to do that that they don't do anything mr. noon they need to. it its very concerned that they already talked about some event 12 years ago where he wasn't charged. they seem to be trying to do not just the visual perp walk, but digital person walk frik to bring out information to incorporate into his mold. >> let's explain to the viewers what happened. we are learning tonight. jesse matthew was investigated for sexual assault at liberty university back in 2002.
8:23 pm
you were talking about this according to lynchburg police and commonwealth attorney. the woman consented ultimately, decided she didn't want to go forward with the case. and there was not enough evidence for the authorities to, to move forward with any charges. so, would that be usable in court proceedings. how might that affect this case. you continue your thought, mark. then get the others. >> i don't think there would be anywhere near admissible in any trial he would have on this particular case. that's why i've dent lion't lik cops doing something look that. turn the public against him. jury against him. it is irrelevant information. >> chris? >> inadmissible in court. inconspicuous, obvious way of tainting a jury pool. it is inappropriate for the law enforcement to release this information at this time. because the it would be inadmissible at his trial. >> inadmissible, mark lamont hill, not surprising correct? >> not surprising. i agree with legal experts. this is bad stuff here.
8:24 pm
again he might be a terrible guy. he deserves due process and appropriate legal protects. >> thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you. good to see you. >> coming up. offensive or political, after quips about a female pilot flying against isis. and tell you what he said and the update tonight. can't wait to hear. >> can't wait to hear what you have to say. >> i can't wait to hear that also. siri, what can you remember? i remember when i was the only phone that talked. ♪ man: [ laughs ] those look like baby steps now. but they were some pretty good moves. and the best move of all? having the right partner at my side. it's so much better that way.

8:30 pm
you better understan what they're going for. there are some important great journalists at fox news. just like there are, across television. but, those hosts are more like entertainers. that's what i think we were seeing there. easier to dismiss it than be outraged by it. i do bet that both of those men got a a good talking to afterwards. >> thank you for saying that. i watched it. it's, you know, occasionally watch "the five" i looked. i didn't see this live. i looked at it on line. what's everyone, come on, lighten up, people? feminists are greg to be mad at me. listen, i am a male feminist. grew of in a house full of women. single mother. sisters. i get it. some times a joke is just a joke. so you say that to the audience. i don't know if he needed to apologize. come on, people. sure he got a lot back from that. in fact he did aapproximately jazz. i know what was going on on the five there. i know these guys. they're all, they're former colleagues. >> what they're going to say. they're entertaining. >> of course. they dent go, when around the

8:32 pm
