president and his entire family for this holiday season. he was admitted in november of 2012 with bronchitis and spent two months in the hospital. i'm don lemon. be careful out there. have a great christmas. i'll see you back here next week. ac "360" starts right now. >> good evening. i'm wolf blitzer sitting in for anderson. we begin with breaking news, prote protesters on the streets of manhattan despite the mayor's call not to march and asking for new yorkers to put the memories and families and extended nypd family of two murdered officers first for now, to let passions cool and tempers mend a bit on all sides. instead political leaders are still accusing the mayor of demonizing police in the wake of eric garner's death. hundreds of protesters have not let the rain keep them quiet

after the assassination of two police officers. >> it started relatively small and it's getting bigger, i take it. what's the latest? >> reporter: it has grown bigger somewhat, maybe 500, maybe 600 people now. not a lot bigger than previous protests. the issue now is they have moved into the streets. this is lexington street or lexington avenue headed north toward harlem. the problem that they have right now is police have tried to keep them on the streets -- on the sidewalks all night, off the streets and protesters have taken to the streets. that is the issue. it has caused a lot more tension between protesters and police. if you turn around here, you can see it's not very big. the police are right back behind them and they have tried to protect the protesters, as they have taunted them through much of the evening. i have to say the police have shown amazing restraint this

evening as they watch these protesters go by. wolf. >> what are the protesters saying about defying the mayor's call to pause in the protest until the officers, ramos and liu are buried? >> reporter: the point that they are making and the reason they want to be out here this vociferously in traffic again, they don't want to be cowed. they draw a very sharp line despite how badly they may feel for those two police officers and their family. a lot of them have come up to me and said, we're not anti-police but this is two separate issues, a second amendment issue and they see institutional racism they want to stop. they believe these are two separate issues and they are not drawing a conclusion and they want the police commissioner in new york, bill bratton, to step down and calling on the mayor to show some background basically

and make his police do what he wants. >> has the mood changed as the night has progressed. have you heard angry vicious rhetoric from the protesters? >> reporter: it has not been as vicious and as angry as previous protests although they have called police racist throughout the night, something that will not set well with many of the beat cops here protecting them and helping them make their way through the streets of new york. some of the protesters have been challenging police off to the side, as they're walking, basically trying to make them -- make them take a swing or have an issue with them. >> are they in the streets blocking traffic or on the sidewalks. i take it in the streets that's a violation of the law. >> this is lexington avenue what police have been tried to avoid all night.

when they were in the parking lot, christmas shoppers on park avenue and madison seeing this protest come at them down the sidewalks, they were a little freaked-out, i have to say. now, they're farther north in manhattan, far less traffic, far less foot traffic and far less vehicle traffic. they have taken to the streets despite police attempts to keep them off the streets. at the moment, police are allowing them to go on the streets. >> heard about any arrests? >> reporter: no arrests we have seen so far. it's a fairly tight protest. we've been able to keep up with everybody basically despite some of the protesters taunting police individually we have not seen anybody arrested so far. it's only about a block long, this protest so it's fairly easy to see the entirety of the protest from our vantage point. wolf. >> we will check back with you throughout this hour. stand by.

we're also following this developing story c the vice president of the united states, joe biden, we have learned he will attend funeral services this weekend for one of the two fallen officers. that would be rafael ramos. the ceremony for officer ramos is planned for saturday. officer wenjian liu's funeral is pending until relatives arrive from china. standing at the spot where the two officers were killed saturday the site of the makeshift memorial. it's been a really emotional day i know not only in new york but especially where you are. what's the latest over there? >> reporter: you would have to say this is the absolute epicenter of the emotion of all of this because this is where that shooting took place on saturday. now, this is the place where people come to gather to remember and where this memorial continues to grow. there were flowers added to it, the wreaths, the note and candles and then there are the

people. yes, you have many police officers here, detectives and firefighters but also many of the general public, some from the surrounding community and some from all over new york. they come to pay their respects earlier today. the mayor was there with his wife and he attended. later also, too, there was a moment of silence at 2:47 p.m. this afternoon, a critical time because that is the exact moment the shooting took place on saturday. that would have been exactly three days since that point in time. tonight, at 9:00, it's anticipated, actually city hall has asked the public buildings a dim their lights again in tribute to the fallen officers. very much a different scene here. it is quiet, respectful, remembering those who died. >> as you know, martin, the mayor of new york, de blasio called for the hiatus until a funeral of the police officers has taken place.

that has not happened. do you have any more information on the funeral of these two police officers? >> reporter: the funeral for rafael ramos, the police officer also with officer liu, that this is one planned, set for 10:00 a.m. it will take place in queens. we already noted the vice president will be there, mayor bill de blasio has also said he will be there, too, despite the fact some have said he should stay away despite the emotions and divide reported between the mayor's office and police department. that said anybody who politically watches this say it would be unheard of if the mayor did not attend. as for officer liu, plans are still being worked on that. they're still waiting for his family, many in china to be transferred to the u.s. >> martin savidge in brooklyn. we'll check back with you. yesterday, we saw a powerful symbol of feeling. eric garner's daughter shares her thoughts in what has been an

obviously difficult emotionally loaded time for her. emerald, what went through your mind when you heard the man who murdered those two new york city police officers in brooklyn had earlier posted online the killings would be revenge for the deaths of your father and michael brown? >> the first thing that went through my mind is basically there is something wrong with him as a person. he's not mentally stable. everything we've been saying we want everything to be peaceful. it wasn't, you know, that he didn't know what was happening, he just took it upon himself ti >> you visited a memorial yesterday created for these officers. explain why that was important for you to be there and publicly offer your condolences. >> it was important to me because in the case of my dad, people came out and they

supported us. i just felt really saddened by it because a young boy, young kids lost their father, like i did. i know exactly what it feels like to lose a parent. for him to lose a parent and, you know, a senseless death was just -- it was just so heartbreaking because he's a young boy. he's young, like my brother, so he will live the rest of his life without his dad. i could definitely relate to him. just because he's a police officer's son doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings. >> of course, very very sad and tragic. as you know, there are those who point fingers at that tiny number of people who were saying really ugly things during the protests about dead cops and stuff like that. what do you say to those people? >> i tell people like i want to get the message out there that they're not all bad cops. like all cops are not bad. nypd are in my family. that doesn't make me look at them like, you know, they're bad

because they're cops. they are still my family. so once you take off that uniform you're a regular person. just because you have a uniform doesn't define you as a bad cop. i want to let them know not all cops are bad. we have to salute the good ones and weed out the bad ones. >> you reject this notion of calling for dead cops. that's ugly and horrendous. >> that's ugly and it's very tragic. i don't want anybody to die. there shouldn't be any more bloodshed. it doesn't matter the situation nobody needs to lose their life in a senseless way. it was so bad like i just -- just looking at all the candles brought me back to when what happened to my dad happened because it's like -- it's repeating, like a repetitive thing, it just keeps happening and happening. it doesn't make it right just because you killed a cop that doesn't make it right, my father is still gone. you killed a cop and i still can't get my father back.

i can't say go kill this person because they're a cop. that's not going to bring my dad back. that's something people need to understand killing somebody because somebody else was killed is not going to change the fact that the person is gone. >> very well said. mayor de blasio has called for a halt to all the protests until after the two police officers are laid to rest. do you support him on that? apparently there are some out there who don't want to heed what he's saying, they want to continue the protests during these days? >> i feel like anything peaceful should be brought to the table. like if you want to be peaceful i support you. if you want to disrespect these families, as far as them laying to arrerest their loved one i d support it at all. >> how are you doing, emerald? >> i'm better. i'm better because a lot of people are coming forward and saying we support your family, we want to help you and stuff. that's really like what makes me keep going. a lot of people gave me

backlash, you shouldn't have went down there and paid your respects to your family and a lot of people say that's a good thing that you did. i do what i feel was right. i felt i needed to go and let that family know if nobody else in the world is sending their c condolences to you, i am. it was wrong for them to lose their life that way. i would never wish that on anybody because it's hurtful. i'm hurting, i'm very hurt. i'm still, you know, dealing with what's going on with my dad but i feel like the support and the people who encourage me to keep moving forward, that's what gives me the strength to keep moving forward. >> our deepest condolences to you, emerald. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. >> a lot more to come ahead. as always, make sure to set your dvr so you can watch "360" wherever you are. and the protest whether it's right to march in protests with

such a raw wound. and i'll talk to officers in brooklyn where the murders took place. and now a stunner from sony, "the interview" could be coming soon to a theater near you. they take us to worlds full of heroes and titans.

these are live pictures of the protesters making their way to manhattan in the harlem

neighborhood carrying signs say ing jail killer cops. and emotionally raw police officers from the murder of a deranged man who believed he was avenging the lives of eric garner and brown. >> and believing the mayor fostered a climate of antagonism toward nypd that's what critics are charging the mayor and his associates of doing. earlier i spoke with former new york governor george pataki. >> over the last two years there's been a concerted effort to demonize the snonew york pol department, the best trained police department in america anyone and one that made enormous strides making new york the safest city in america. we should be applauding this police department and they should not be demonizing it the

way it happened the last two years. >> former governor george pataki in the "situation room." joining us now former secret service agent and the brooklyn bu borough president, eric adams. thank you for joining us. dan, let me start with this protests happening now and we show our viewers live pictures of these protests marching through the streets of manhattan. you say you're disgusted what's happening. tell us why. >> while i would ferociously defend their right to protest. this is america. to protest is america. this doesn't make it right. i don't get what their end game is. if the idea is to gather support for your cause, this is a fail of enormous proportions. i don't think any straight thinkers think this is a good idea while these two

assassinated police officers haven't had a chance to be laid to rest. >> what do you say? you're the president of the borough in brooklyn where the two police officers were assassinated over the weekend. are you concerned emotions could get even higher as a result of those protesters? >> no, i'm not. i, too, join the mayor saying i was hope iing the protesters wo put a pause to allow these police officers and families to mourn the deaths of two fine members each our community. they made the decision to continue. that's part of what it is to be in america. we do not dictate how people voice their right to protest their right. all we can do is put out our call for these families to receive the support they deserve. >> dan, you believe the mayor of new york, bill de blasio, should resign? >> absolutely. i think he should resign in shame. mayor de blasio has provided

absolutely atrocious leadership throughout this incident. there was an opportunity after this tragic incident with mr. garner to have a helpful and productive conversation about police training, community affairs, foot patrols, consistent foot patrols in the neighborhoods to get to know your neighborhood cop again. these could have been excellent conversations to really move forward police community relations. that's not what he did. he put innuendo upon innuendo and basically accused the entire police department de facto accusations of racism which fed gasoline onto a really exploding fire. >> you have a unique perspective because you were a cop a long time and now the borough president of brooklyn. what do you think? >> i think both dan and i talk about how complex it is to police a great city like new york. the mayor has done a good job. of course we don't think he should resign. that makes no sense. the death of these two police

officers has nothing to do with what the mayor has done. the mayor have continued support to police for state of art academies to training and help officers when accusations are made and proper training is needed. blood is not on the mayor as some have stated, blood is on the sick person who committed this act and blood on the hand of those who embraced policy where we have an overproliferation of guns in our society not only killed police officers and blood continues to flow that kills many of our children. >> the head of the police union in new york, head of the ben nev venev -- benevolent association believes the mayor does have blood on his hands. >> no. i don't. >> i was asking if you believe

that? >> i don't think those words are appropriate. i don't believe ne mayor caused this. if you look at a series of options the mayor could have taken after the tragic death of eric gara eric garner with five being the worst way to handle this, that's what he picked. he picked the worst way to handle this. with all due respect to the borough president, i suggest he talk to some police officers out there, the ones i'm talking to, a very diverse group i keep contact with. major de blasio has zero credibility with them. throwing money at the police department will not fix this. he has lost the support of all these troops. he's a general going into battle with no warriors behind him. >> eric, what are you hearing from the cops in brooklyn? >> nothing could be further from the truth. the new york city police department is one of the finest well trained police departments.

if you go through the history of new york city from the days of mayor koch to bloomberg and guiliani, there's always been strife between cops. cops and unions don't make policy. the mayor makes the policy. they're the soldiers, they carry out the policies. they want to respond to calls of service everyday. that is what a professional is and that's why they are new york city's finest. >> dan, the major said last night he will attend the funerals of these slain officers. the family of ramos said he will be welcome. do you think it's right for the mayor to attend both of these funerals? >> i do. he is still the mayor of the city. he hasn't resigned yet unfortunately in my opinion. he's the mayor of the city. the cops are the professionals. they will provide the exact same protection they would for any other mayor. they are pros and will keep the

city safe. he's entitled to some dignity of the office. i'll be honest, god forbid it was me or a member of my family, i wouldn't want him there, ask him to stay away. he will only be a lightning rod for more controversy. >> quickly because we did see a lot of police officers at the hospital turned their backs on the mayor. that was pretty ugly. >> we're talking 30,000 members not a monolithic department where everyone walks lock-step. >> i still kntalk to those who e offic officers and do not ascribe to that. that is a symbol of new york and we represent that. we deal with the issues and lean into the discomfort and come out the other side a better place and respect each other's pain and turn it into purpose. that is what a new yorker is. >> thanks very much. passions intense. right now, just ahead.

breaking news tonight, sony

has done a 180 when it comes to sh showing the film at the center of the hacking scandal. the film was a comedy about an assassination plot against the korean leader kim jong-un. when they said there were no movie theaters that would show the film they backed down and pulled the plug. now, 200 theaters across the country agreed to show the film. first of all, do we know why sony has made the decision to allow these independent theaters to go ahead and screen the film? >> they're taking a stand, wolf. they say they do not want this film to be suppressed. in the statement they did not name north korea or hackers in particular but do not want that to be a precedent in the future that a threat or hacking can affect a movie's release in the future. >> typically a major movie is

played at thousands of theaters around the country. that would have been the case. do we know how many will show it now? >> it was 2,000 to 3,000 theaters. now 200 to 300. about one-tenth. it's originally about supply and demand. now a lot of supply and limited amount of demand. now, the demand is increasing because there is so much intensity about it i have a feeling theaters will be sold out on christmas day even though reviews are not very good. >> there are other options to release this digitally, they would have to partner to do that and sony could charge money for it. they have a lot of money invest ed and won't make a ton of money if they do that?

>> they have a $44 million budget. you want to get big movie chains to play your movie. on the other hand, if you put it online, let people rent it through their cable box or put it on netflix those big movie chains are not going to play the movie. they have to make a decision what they want to do. i think there might be an announcement about video on demand or netflix or hulu tomorrow. time will tell whether sony will find a partner to put it online. it would be cool to have this movie screaming on christmas day if anybody can see it. sony has to decide if it's worth alienating those big movie chains. >> so far they say no, they will not show it. >> they say simply, they have others lined up, the movie was canceled last week and made alternative plans. frankly, they're miffed at sony releasing it with the independent theaters. at the end of the day, this is business and sony and the

theaters will do what's best business-wise. >> north korea's internet service is still spotty at best after it went down completely for nine hours. more with the latest. what more do we know about who or what is behind the internet outage in north korea? >> wolf, what we know is what the data is showing us, there was simply a problem. it doesn't tell us the origin of this. we've been watching the pattern over the last 48 hours. cyber-intelligence experts are basically telling us based on what they see with this pattern, it looks like a rogue hacker. they don't believe it's the united states or some official entity. they believe it's probably most likely given there's a sudden outage and sputtering after for hours on end, it's probably a 15-year-old in jersey wearing a mask. that's essentially what a lot of the hacking community believes

is this case right now. >> how's the service tonight? >> the service is exactly exactly the way it was yesterday. there was a complete failure overnight. as if north korea was completely wiped off the internet map. throughout the day we've seen a lot of trouble trying to get onto the state websites. they're failing at times. it looks like they're struggling to come back online. the interesting thing if you watch north korean television today it's broadcasting a holiday schedule. we're seeing a lot of kim jong-un films. there is no veneer there is any problem inside north korea. a lot of the same propaganda, saying the u.s. is evil. the same old story lines over and over again. no hint that there is anything awry in north korea with the internet. >> konow that the interview fil is going to be released in a couple hundred or 300 in the

united states christmas day are there concerns north korea may retaliate? >> there are a lot of concerns there may be retaliation. the retaliation people are bracing for are the cyber nature. there has been growing concern ever since the sony hack north korea has been underestimated by the entire international community. there is that concern this is simply going to make kim jong-un even madder. the fact of the matter is if you speak to anybody inside the united states or north korea this is the reality, cybe cyber-attacks, a growing number of them coming from north korea and ordered from north korea is the new reality. >> thanks. just ahead, breaking news, a deadly tornado strikes mississippi and the other hits louisiana causing extensive damage, plus, a look at holiday travel. later, guns and ammo allegedly

louisiana. there are no reports of deaths there. it's wet mess across much of the south tonight. the pouring rain stretches up the east coast along the i-95 corridor with treacherous driving conditions. good luck getting to your christmas destination. and the planes are having delays. what's the latest on these deadly tornadoes? >> it has been widespread, wolf. it began in amy, louisiana. we saw this super cell, hot, skip and jump. widespread potential from alabama, georgia and florida, already seeing a variety of problems there as well. let's take you back to 2:00 central time in mississippi. a super cell raked across columbia, in marion county. two fatalities there. a number of buildings have been heavily damaged.

a daycare was affected by the tornado as well. there were children in there, taken out to a bank. no children were injured but substantial damage to that daycare, along with other buildings. then we go to sommeral and in the vicinity of laurel, mississippi, two fatalities there as well. widespread damage, numerous power outages reported there as well. in tallahassee, our latest report of over 7 inches of rainfall. there's a flashflood emergency. just within the past hour they were saying they were doing high water rescues. coming up over the next 24 hours we're looking at substantial rainfall totals here. wolf, it's going to be widespread, up and down the eastern seaboard just in time for christmas eve. >> huge travel days over this christmas period, what can we expect? more treacherous traveling conditions along the east coast? is that what i'm hearing?

>> you certainly are. if anything, it will get worse. we saw bad delays today at new york's metro airports and also in philadelphia all day long. i was taking a look at philadelphia and they were looking at delays all day long at least two hours. new york city's metropolitan airports, newark, philadelphia is probably responsible for the most cancellations. but delays up and down the entire system mostly in the eastern seaboard. not to be outdone, in chicago, coming up in the next 12 to 24 hours, it looks like there will be a band of very heavy snowfall here. computer estimates all over the place, 4 to 8 inches. buffalo, no, not a white christmas. it looks like you could see wind gusts as high as 65 miles an hour. there's a winter storm watch in effect for chicago. in the deep south, places like atlanta could see some low-lying

flooding. the airport could be affected here as well. as a matter of fact, delay-wise, we're still anticipating that i-95 corridor, washington d.c., philadelphia, new york to boston, with major delays coming up for tomorrow. it eswidespread misery. i hate to be the grinch. >> sounds bad on christmas eve. thanks very much. travel delays are one thing. today, federal authorities revealed something a whole lot more troubling than that. a security gap that allegedly let bad guys carry loaded weapons. >> 153 firearms were recovered smuggl smuggled onboard of nearly 20 commercial passenger planes from atlanta to new york according to federal investigators. no they could put guns on this time and could have easily put a bomb on one of those planes. >> reporter: here's how authorities say it happened. delta baggage handler eugene

harvey uses his badge to enter the airport bypassing security checkpoints. most airline employees like baggage handlers undergo security vetting and background checks but do not go through daily tsa screening to gain access to restricted areas. the accomplice, former delta employee, mark henry clears tsa and arrives at the concourse, the two men communicate by text message and meet at an airport bathroom. once inside-out of the camera's view the guns are handed off. >> the tsa is there after 9/11 to prevent this incident from occurring. >> reporter: according to prosecutors, henry seen here in surveillance videos on flight to new york city with handguns and ar-15s and ak-47s, some weapons loaded all part of a five man operation.

>> this gun can shoot through a car door. can shoot through an apartment door, can shoot through a bullet proof vest. in november, mr. henry brought this gun on a delta commercial airliner to new york. >> reporter: this kind of breach in security has happened before. in 2010, an american airlines baggage handler helped smuggle 12,000 pounds of marijuana on board a flight to new york. in 2013, an airline employee sentenced after agreeing to smuggle a machine gun and cocaine onto a commercial plane. and in 2009, government audit says workers with access to secured areas is one of the greatest potential threat to aviation. >> everyone involved in aviation and aviation security know this is a gap and vulnerability. >> reporter: rene marsh, cnn, washington. >> we have live pictures and

update on the protests happening in new york city right now despite the appeal from the mayor of new york to pause in these protests until after the funerals of the two police officer s assassinated over the weekend. the protests will continue for now and we will get a live update when we come back. also ahead, an early christmas present from wall street. the dow surges to a record close. eam, theetedge is oud. powered by microsoft dynamics, azure, and office 365, the team can gain real time insights and instantly share information around the globe. when every millisecond counts, staying competitive begins with the cloud. this is the microsoft cloud.

we've been following the protests in new york city throughout the evening. we want to bring you an update now. and now to miguel marquez on the rainy streets of new york. what's the latest. where are you guys? >> reporter: we're way up in the city now in the heart of african-american new york in harlem on 125th street. we're headed over to the adam clayton powell building, a very very significant area for protesters here, a place that they have come and ended these protests traditionally. they're also meeting other protesters coming in from the

bronx. they want to show the city and show the police they will not be cowed by the call and desire for them not to do this very type of protest. they say they will come out here and will continue to protest as long as they can, as many times as they want. they draw a very very sharp line between the deaths of the two police officers here and these protests, for what they see is instituti institutional racism. >> as you know, the protesters have defiied the mayor's call t halt the protests until after the officers are buried. what are they telling you about that? >> reporter: they make a very sharp distinction. they say that they are not anti-police. they feel very badly for those police families and also say

they want to protest. they see this as a first amendment issue and not related to the police shot and killed here. they find that very sad. i will say it's the police behind us, the police along with these protesters. some of the protesters themselves individually challenging police, harassing them, trying to make them react. the police have shown incredible restraint tonight. they did not want them to go on the streets. they eventually did go on the streets for parts of this protest. now, it looks like we're coming to the end of this thing at adam clayton powell building in harlem. >> be careful over there. we'll stay in touch with you on the streets of manhattan. a quick "360" news bulletin. susan. >> the dow closed above 18,000 for the first time. the s&p also finished at an all time high as well. the u.s. agency for international development has

teleivan gallism, that is pat robertson. recently someone asked him about advice for a mission to kenya family members were concerned about a person going to kenya because of ebola. robertson said there is no need to worry about ebola in kenya. then he said this. >> you might get aids in kenya. people have aids. you have to be careful. the towels could have aids. >> that's right. the towels could have aids. do not even get him started on the washcloths with hepatitis c. we're talking bed baths. if you somehow missed all the evidence and depth and breadth of all the knowledge garnered about aids the past few decades, you cannot get hiv if you share towels. if a guy has shared towels, it's true he might be gay. even then there's no guarantee, some guys love cher. love cher towels.

when it comes to diseases like ebola he's kind of measured in his opinion. >> i was in zai zaere in the gr ebola outbreak and it wasn't always panic. >> one thing you can say about him he is anti-panic. why panic when the bathmat is trying to give you chlamydia. >> if you go overseas, don't eat vegetables. if you go overseas, don't drink ice because the water isn't pure. be careful of ice cream and milk because the milk might not be pasteurized. >> do not eat ice cream when you go to italy. i'm telling you, i know, everyone says the gelato is great. it will kill you. overseas, everything overseas, bacteria. they have bacteria overseas, you can't even imagine. i'm starting to think maybe we would be better off not traveling at all, stay right

here in the good old united states except stay clear from san francisco because that's where all the gay people live and pat robertson thinks they have an ingenious way of giving you all the stuff, the stuff is what he was calling hiv or aids in this classic clip last year. >> you know what they do in san francisco, the gay community, they want to get people because if they have the stuff, they have a ring, you shake hands and the ring has a little thing you cut your finger. >> really? snow yeah, really. >> how much do they pay that woman to sit there like a zombie? do you think she actually believes what pat robertson is saying or she just thinks he's my boss, better smile. really? rings? that's what the gay people want to do to you in san francisco, they want to stick you with the rings. to sum it up, if you're going to san francisco, do not shake hands with any. if you're going anywhere overseas do not eat the ice

cream. whatever you do do not have unprotected sex with a towel in kenya. those are travel tips you can use in the "ridiculist." >> keep watching us as we talk about the most ridiculous of the year. now to the special, "to heaven and back." their stories begin tragically. they went to heaven and then came back. their stories raise fundamental questions about fear and faith. is heaven real? what does it feel like to die. tonight, randi kaye says they left this world for another. we leave it to them to tell
