5:00 pm
ning us. have a great weekend. be sure to set your dvr to record outfront or anytime and don't miss our show on cnn international airing on both saturday and sunday. "ac360" starts right now. hey, good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin with breaking news involving one of the most influential lawmakers in washington. a leading voice on iran and cuba and new jersey democratic senator robert menendez. cnn first reported of the justice department plans to file corruption charges against him. just moments ago, senator menendez stepped up to the microphone and said this. >> i am not going anywhere. >> that of course wasn't all he said in his brief remarks nor all we're likely to hear in the coming days about the al gaxs against him. joining us with more tonight, dana bash. senator menendez denying any wrongdoing in the press conference. what else did he say? >> reporter: he talked about the relationship with the donor at hand. his name is salman melgan.
5:01 pm
he had a close friendship but he did nothing wrong. listen to what he had to say. >> let me be very clear. very clear. i have always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law. every action that i and my office have taken for the last 23 years that i have been privileged to be in the united states congress has been based on pursuing the best policies for the people of new jersey and of the entire country. >> now, i should say that the senator didn't take any questions, anderson because he said he couldn't answer because it is an ongoing inquiry. >> the corruption charges. they've been brewing for years though haven't they? >> for years. that's part of what evan perez got from his sources that were learning about this now. some of them are running up against the statute of limitations and that's why he was told that this was going to
5:02 pm
potentially come in a matter of weeks but it is actually interesting when you look at the timing. senator menendez has been in the news big time lately because he is perhaps the chief thorn in the white house's side of some pretty big international issues. he of course, is the top democrat. should be their ally on international issues. top of the senate foreign relations committee but said they're dead wrong on cuban policy and of course he's cuban american and wrong on pursuing relations with iran. he's been aggressive and outspoken on that on a policy side enven today defending himself with criminal charges. >> and do we know when they're expected to file formal charges? >> >> reporter: we don't. according to evan perez's sources, they say in the next coming weeks. we should also underscore what we're talking about here are allegations that vary from the fact he allegedly helped his friend and donor trying to get
5:03 pm
rid of some charges of overbilling. he's a doctor overbilling for medicare payments and tried to allegedly help his friend secure some business deals and dominican republic and we also know that in the past, he senator menendez had to pay back almost 60,000 in plane trips that he took to the dominican republic with this dr. salman melgan. an oversight, he shouldn't have done without paying his own way. >> thank you. to ferguson earlier today, attorney general eric holder said he wouldn't rule out dismantling the police in light of what's uncovered. shaking down citizens disproportionately african-americans through justice department fines and harassment every complaint protesters made against the department itself except
5:04 pm
concerning this. >> hands up. don't shoot. hands up. don't shoot. >> as you know hands up don't shoot became the rallying cry in the michael brown shooting. chanted on ferguson streets. they shouted in new york and the cities big and small across the city. sympathized with protesters along the lines. professional athletes sparked controversy with the phrase "members of the st. louis rams takes the field." believing what michael brown did and surrendering. many still do. justice department of investigators though they do not. more on that now from sara sidner. >> reporter: what really happened the final moments of michael brown's life? the justice department investigation makes it clear. the evidence does not support the mantra still being used by some protesters. >> don't shoot. >> hands up. >> reporter: instead the department of justice found that's inconsistent with the
5:05 pm
physical and forensic evidence. and in some cases, witnesses have acknowledged their initial accounts were untrue. or witness accounts were not credible. including the witness closest to brown when it happened. brown's friend dorian johnson, whose words helped spark the mantra. >> his weapon was already drawn when he got out of the car. he was shot again and once my friend felt that shot he put his hands in the air and he started to get down but the officer still approach him with his weapons drawn and he fired 7 more shots. >> reporter: attorney general eric holder supported the investigator's findings. >> i recognize that the findings in our report may leave some to wonder how the department's findings can differ so sharply. from some of the initial widely reported accounts of what transpired. america's justice system has always rested on its ability to deliver impartial results and precisely these types of difficult circumstances. >> reporter: despite the
5:06 pm
evidence laid out by the department of justice that michael brown's hands were not up when officer wilson shot and killed him, the hands up don't shoot movement lives. >> we know for a fact that he's dead. whether his hands were up or not, he's not here and he didn't have a weapon. >> reporter: the argument is if he wasn't surrendering there's a justification, which is what the doj and the grand jury found. >> to me that's a repetitive tactic that's been used against black males when dealing with the police. you can root back to slavery with that tactic where you kind of you have to find a way to villainize the victim. >> reporter: but the attorney for michael brown's family points to witnesses in the same doj report who say brown's hands were up briefly. >> there's a difference between hands over your head and hands up. that's a distinction we've seen already with the recorder. >> reporter: the head of the st. louis police union said the refusal to believe all the
5:07 pm
details in the investigation is an example of why the community and police can't see eye to eye. the scope of distress is wide as it's ever been. >> it's not completely surprising you know. it's become so engrained in these protests and the minds of people who believe that something happened on august 9th that didn't. >> reporter: just today, a group of ferguson protesters traveling to selma still chanting the same mantra but we noticed one difference. this time their signs read "we can't stop now." sara sidner, cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> president obama weighed in today on ferguson expressing his complete confidence in the justice department decision not to bring charges against officer wilson and the doj report revealed a broken and biassed system policing he called oppressive and abusive. he spoke today in columbia south carolina on his way to alabama to mark the 50th
5:08 pm
anniversary of bloody sunday when police savagely beat. former special advisor, van jones and the police association. van, the fact that the justice department report said the narrative that michael brown had his hands up wasn't accurate. that chant, we heard constantly from all evidence that was not true. that did not happen. isn't it important to acknowledge that? >> well, listen. i think it's important to acknowledge some things are possible and some things are provable. it is certainly not provable that michael brown had his hands up and i think it's important for people who care about facts to talk about that in a straightforward manner. we'll never know. you did have that video of the construction workers who were white and watching. they put their hands up after the shooting and said something happened that was wrong. but much more importantly, this thing was about mike brown for
5:09 pm
about two weeks. after that it became a cry of a generation that feels that it is criminalized and guilty until it's proven innocent rather than innocent until proven guilty all too often. and so it became a rallying cry for a generation of people trying to say, look, we can't be innocent. doesn't mean you should assume me guilty. 90% of all african-americans are involved in crimes as perpetrators. i think it was a generational cry that we can be innocent but we have to deal with the facts. in this case the facts don't bear out what many people fear. >> jeff i mean this report paints a terrible picture of the ferguson police department and the justice system there. black people make up 60% of the population. under pressure to come up with revenue seem to treat black people more harshly. 85% of vehicle stops and 90% of citations. 93% of those arrested are black.
5:10 pm
black drivers, twice as likely as whites to be searched during a traffic stop and 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband and 95% of tickets from minor things like jaywalking. do they just jaywalk more than white people in ferguson missouri? >> well first of all, van wouldn't be saying we will never know what happened if the justice department would have found that darren was guilty. he would have taken that as being credible and that's the problem. the protesters are unwilling to square up the story that they believe to have happened with the forensic and testimonial and -- >> we just acknowledged that was wrong. that is not, there's no evidence that that o occurred the justice department said that but they do paint an alarming picture of what's going on in ferguson. how do you explain the overwhelming representation of black people in the criminal justice system in ferguson? the overwhelmingly white police
5:11 pm
force focuses on black people far more than white citizens. >> the justice department report said that. the attorney general couldn't bring himself to say that. instead, we got a justice department read where darren wilson was innocent of the charges against him. wrapped up in a flimsy tortilla of accusations of racial bias by the ferguson police department. >> wait hold on. [ talking over each other ] >> let me be on the news one night and be right about it. >> van, stop. jeff you said these are flimsy allegations. let's not turn this into a fight against van and what he said. this is the third time i've asked you about the sta tixics and you're talking about burritos and nachos. how is this flimsy allegations? you've got racist e-mails. and you've got these statistics
5:12 pm
which are certainly alarming. >> let's put it in context, anderson. ferguson is a city that's integrated. 67% black. 33% white but it's an island of integration and a very segregated portion of st. louis county where the entire region together has a population of 85% african-american. those are people working and shopping and driving through ferguson and that's what you would expect as far as police encounters. >> so you're saying because more black people come to ferguson than the 67% of residents? a, how do you know that what statistics do you have on that? and why then if even once they're in the criminal justice system why do black people overwhelmingly not have their charges dismissed? >> ferguson's courts are a problem. there's absolutely no doubt that this report unearthed some
5:13 pm
problems. >> you admit the courts are a problem, but you're saying there's no problem with the police? >> i'm not saying that. we found some disturbing things in this report.3 of those things. >> how are they moving? the police chief has been running and hiding running away. how are they actually addressing these things? >> the mayor, the day he found out about the e-mails, he suspended two officers and fired a third employee that were involved. all three of the people culpable for these e-mails have been disciplined already. >> but jeff come on. you know this is not just about three people sending e-mails. i mean yes, those e-mails are racist and incredibly disturbing. they were sent to supervisors and circulated but if they feel free to send e-mails, you know, calling the president a chimpanzee and making all these
5:14 pm
comments about black people what else is going on here? i mean, come on. you know it's not just about e-mails. >> that's the question. what else is going on? but that's not answered by the justice department report. >> actually but it is. >> they reached the conclusion. >> it is answered but the justice department report. what is going on is desperate for cash there were all these e-mails from city officials desperate for cash in ferguson telling the police you know basically compete to see how many citations you can give in a single traffic stop. if you're stopping black folks overwhelmingly and you're just trying to find as many possible citations and once they're in the criminal justice system they're 68% less likely to have their cases dismissed. i just want to read this. between 2012 and 2014 black drivers twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during traffic stops and 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband. not just wrong but bad policing.
5:15 pm
>> the search rates are a problem. that should be addressed and i think ferguson is moving to address that. but this problem we have with these profiteering municipal courts in missouri is not just a problem with black communities. we've got it all over the state. there's a law called the mex creek law. named after a white town in missouri and supports that bill. it cracks down on this. >> jeff and ben, i want you to allow you to comment here. in reading these e-mails, when white police officers or supervisors or the mayor in town when they get a traffic stop you know what? they send an e-mail and their traffic tickets disappear and it's no one talks about like oh a failure of personal responsibility on the part of police supervisors in ferguson missouri. they get their tickets expunged where if you're a black person. 68% less likely to have your case dismissed. is this a problem of a few
5:16 pm
officers sending e-mails? >> part of the problem is some of the local law enforcement just never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. this is a real moment where local law enforcement could come forward and say they are appall appalled appalled. say this is not acceptable. not only the person that sent the e-mail but the people who got the e-mails laughed didn't report it. all those people should not be part of law enforcement. my dad was a cop in the military. one of my favorite uncles retired with honor. this is a horrible thing. but you're not hearing that from local law enforcement and that is a big part of the problem. you know why there's distrust? there's more interest in jumping on what the protesters said than what law enforcement did and is doing and that's a problem. >> jeff, i want to give you the final word here. but i just got to come back to again, no matter how many black people come to visit ferguson missouri if 95% of those who are cited for jaywalking are
5:17 pm
african-american you can't tell me that white people don't jaywalk as much as black people. they just get the benefit of the doubt. they have the white police officer say, you know what? get off the street don't jaywalk. i'm not going to cite you. if you're black, it seems like in ferguson, according to these stats, you're more likely to get cited, fined issue once you're in the court system it has a ripple effect from there. >> but that's not what people were in the streets saying anderson. >> that's what i'm saying to you tonight and can you answer that question. >> we did. we unearthed some problems with ferguson pd and the court. >> actually it was the justice department. it doesn't sound like a lot of people in the ferguson department i mean the chief has yet to comment publicly. i mean the mayor, the poor mayor, who, by the way, gets paid what a couple hundred bucks, as a part-time position he's the one in front of the camera. the chief is running away like a cockroach. >> i don't know what that's all about, anderson.
5:18 pm
i really don't. >> jeff, listen, thank you for coming on. van jones as well. over a different police shooting. firing 17 shots in this case. did anything that that man do really justify what happened? we'll show you. you can decide for yours. up next we update you on harrison ford's condition after the emergency landing he made on that golf course. we'll take you into the cockpit with him and gary tuchman takes us for a flight in the old time open cockpits and the one harrison ford was in. fact. fast-acting advil is designed with an ultra-thin coating and fast absorbing advil ion core technology stopping headaches and other tough pain. fast. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil.

gulf coast yesterday. moved to an undisclosed airport. giving attention. joining us at santa monica is kyung lah. >> reporter: they basically disaem blddisa disassembled the plane. they'll look at the reports. they say they won't issue a full report anderson for another year. >> what's the latest on harrison ford initially? >> reporter: we know he's still in the hospital tonight. ucla medical center being cautious about releasing any of the details. we know from the police department and the fire department he was injured. he had head trauma. he was bleeding. witnesses tell us that he was though able to communicate with them on the golf course, anderson. >> you said someone helped pull him from the plane. >> reporter: something we've been chatting about is how lucky
5:23 pm
harrison ford was. he was on the seventh hole a spinal surgeon. ran up to the plane. smelled fuel. was worried the plane was going to explode. here's what he told us. >> he's moaning and in distress. and i wanted to make sure he was okay so i verbalized and get a response. i'm not sure if i got an exact response but i tried to stabilize his neck and get a look see his general condition. and with the help of a bunch of volunteers that were golfing, we assembled a group of people that were able to safely get him out of the airplane. >> reporter: a lot of good samaritans helped out harrison ford yesterday and certainly that doctor did as well. the doctor's job to save lives. basic instinct certainly kicked? >> kyung lah reporting. had high praise for just how cool harrison ford was in a tight situation. when you look at the amount of piloting mr. ford has done with
5:24 pm
challenging aircraft in stressful conditions you can see why. more now from randi kaye. >> reporter: stranded at the top of wyoming's table mountain. it was july 2000. then 22-year-old megan freeman and her friend were in desperate need of help. six miles into the hike, and her friend was nauseous and unable to walk any further. another hiker called 9-1-1 for life. >> he was picked up by the helicopter and the pilot was harrison ford. >> reporter: the harrison ford. he flew her friend to the hospital while megan hiked down the mountain. she hadn't recognized ford who was wearing a t-shirt and a baseball hat. >> the paramedics were the ones who told us, it was harry ford that picked them up which i thought was funny. they had known him well to be on a first name basis like that with him. >> reporter: a year after that rescue ford helped save this 13-year-old boy scout in yellow
5:25 pm
stone national park. ford's ranch was nearby so he joined the search on his helicopter. it was ford who spotted the boy koh bycody crossing after spending the night in the wilderness. >> he said to cody i guess you earned a merit badge for this one and then cody said i earned that merit badge last summer. >> reporter: cody didn't get an autograph but a hug and handshake from the real life action hero. harrison ford didn't get his pilot's license until he was 54. taking flying lessons when he was younger back in college, 1962 but didn't have the money then to keep flying. later after his career took off he had the pilot of his private jet teach him how to fly. >> up here i don't think about much except flying. what my duties or
5:26 pm
responsibilities are. >> reporter: it keeps him busy too. after the earthquake in haiti too, issued volunteers including medical supplies. he also posed for pictures with some of the injured. ford volunteers for corporate angel network flights too, ferrying young cancer patients to hospital for treatments. >> i'm harrison ford honorary chairman of the citation special olympics. >> reporter: he's been known to leave the movie set to fly athletes to special olympics games but his flying career had hardly been perfect. long before the most recent scare, back in 1999 he crashed his helicopter north of l.a. and in 2000 wind shear forced him to land in nebraska. still, this lover of aviation likely won't be grounded anytime soon. >> that is beautiful. 8,500 feet. over briley idaho.
5:27 pm
not a bad way to spend the afternoon. >> reporter: randi kaye cnn, new york. >> clearly loves flying. just ahead, what it's like to be in an open cockpit plane and the challenges the pilot faces. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. 80% of the poor in africa are rural farmers. 96% of them are doing rain-fed

agriculture. they're all competing with each other; they're all making very low margins making enough to survive but not enough to get out of poverty. so kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. it's all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, we're not going to solve their biggest challenge. this is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. when we talk to the farmers and ask them what's the most important thing. first of all they say we can feed our families. secondly, we can send our children to school. it's really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want.

we've been reporting after harrison ford hospitalized. he's an experienced pilot that managed to land on california golf course after the plane engine failed. could have been worse. gary tuchman got a firsthand look at what it's like to be in an open cockpit plane as the same one from the flight. >> reporter: vintage aircraft 1935. the pilot in the back. i am in the front. >> here we go. what's our altitude right now? >> 1,500 feet above the ground. >> tell me why you like flying in a plane like this. >> i just like to be able to feel the breeze go through my hair and no obstructions when
5:32 pm
you're looking out. >> reporter: he works for a company that is called by plane rides over atlanta and that's what we do on this trip. he tells me something surprising. this kind of plane is not much different than flying a brand new braen that hasplane with the top. >> in the back, put the weight. it's about the weight distributed throughout the airplane. >> reporter: the weight is distributed differently because there's no wheel under the nose. it's the tail. it's similar to some close cockpit planes have too. >> 80 miles per hour. >> reporter: then we ask the question so many are wondering. >> conventional plane? >> of course it is. >> reporter: so people say when you fly something like this what's your response to them? >> that's the part of the life. i wouldn't jump in this thing if it wasn't safe.
5:33 pm
>> reporter: people have been flying these planes for 23 years. never an accident they say. nevertheless potential passengers are always wondering if they have enough courage to fly in such a plane. their answer? >> there's nothing to be scared of. this is just like riding in a car or convertible. and you'll be able to see sights that you'll never see there. >> reporter: come in for a landing after a tour of atlanta. you certainly need a coat on a brisk day but the unobstructive view makes it why pilots like harrison ford like it so much. >> does look like fun. a lot more tonight. randi kaye with a 360 bulletin. urging to rule that states can not ban same-sex marriages. a friend of the court said it sends a message that same-sex couples and their children are

another case of deadly force by police in pasco, washington. an um employed orchard worker. just like in ferguson, protesters are filling the streets of pasco. justice far away as mexico. the deadly encounter was caught on video as flores reports from pasco. >> reporter: the final moments of antonio's life went viral. showing a chaotic foot chase by pasco washington police and what investigators believe are 17 gunshots fired at an unarmed man. martha is overcome by emotion saying she and her nephew left the small mexican village in search of the american dream and now she said he's returning
5:40 pm
home in a coffin. antonio was a husband and a father of two who investigators say was throwing rocks at cars on a busy street leading police to respond first verbally and then with a stun gun and then police say he started throwing rocks at police as well. including one of the size of a softball. and this dramatic video shows him making a run for it. officers closely behind him. investigators say three officers fired 17 shots. five or six of them striking and killing the 35-year-old. police say he didn't have a gun or a knife and haven't offered an explanation why they opened fire. >> we know this from the preliminary autopsy report. there were no shots in the back. >> reporter: strongly disagreeing with that statement? >> the truth is there were two. >> reporter: family attorney general charles herman. >> in my opinion, they're saying
5:41 pm
that because they want to maintain that they didn't shoot him as he was running away. >> reporter: herman points to an independent autopsy report ordered by the family that shows sobrano montez shot 7 or 8 times including five or six times in the front and twice in the back of his body. the shooting happened during rush hour with people and cars everywhere. now a memorial with the cross where he fell and here bullet holes on the wall of this bakery. a popular spot in town to bake bread and read the paper. >> the rounds other than antonio. >> reporter: felix vargas a hispanic community leader said this is not a case of blatant racism. >> this was just one case of bad cops showing the worst that can
5:42 pm
happen. they must face charges. they must go to trial. i don't think anyone in the community expects anything less. >> reporter: sombrano's aunt said she reads papers and watches news more than ever before but no sign of justice yet. only the memory of her nephew and what he leaves behind. anderson pasco police tight lipped about the use of deadly force. the department doesn't plan to comment until the investigation is completed. i've got to show you where the shooting happened because it's one of the busiest intersections in town. that started where you see the dirt parking lot. sombrano went up the street up this sidewalk and fell where you see this small memorial with the cross. hear this. this is not the first time that there's an officer-involved shooting in this area. the prosecutor telling me that there's been at least four in the past six months. he also tells me that none of
5:43 pm
the officers have been charged. anderson? >> thank you very much. enrique, writing about this where he's a contributor, also an anchor. from miami, i want to see what the police actually say because supporters of the police point to that video and say, look he turned around. it looked like he may have had something in his hand. perhaps that's why he shot. but we haven't really heard from police an explanation. but you've been writing about this and given the fact there is the video, are you surprised that there hasn't been more coverage of this more outrage about this nationally? >> well you know there's no question that minorities are disproportionately targeted by police brutality, anderson but immigrants are even more victims because they can't speak up. they're just too afraid to confront police because of the possibility of being deported.
5:44 pm
so i'm not surprised this hasn't gotten as much coverage and there's no public outrage about not only the killing of antonio but the last three weeks, three unarmed mexican immigrants. one in pasco, washington one in grapevine, texas, and in santana, california. >> you don't think it's that people maybe just don't believe this was not an unjustified shooting you think people are scared to speak up? >> i think most of the people in the community, latinos are scared to speak out because of the possibility of deportations but the majority of hispanics in this country are victim to hispanics living in the u.s. vast majority are u.s. citizens and not speaking out just because of the fear of deportation because becauseut because of the lack of leadership from community leaders and community organizations and our leaders in congress. there hasn't been any statement from hispanic senators or
5:45 pm
leaders like marco rubio or bob menendez in the senate for example. >> it's interesting. in the wake of the ferguson shootings and others about, i've talked with a lot of african-american guests about what they say to their kids and concerns pass down to their kids about how to interact with the police. do you find do you hear those conversations, same conversations being given by latino parents to their kids? is there the same concern about interactions interactions daily interactions with police? >> i think this is an important question because we should not make a difference or address this as a racial issue between brown or black. i think this is a civil rights issue and of course latinos face some of the same concerns that african-americans face in the neighborhoods. so of course latinos talk to their kids about some of the challenges that they face growing up in this tough neighborhoods and with this complicated relationship with police departments and law enforcement in general because
