tomorrow night. "ac360" begins right now. hey, good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin with breaking news in the arrest of a university of virginia student caught on video outside of a local bar that sparked protest at the university and beyond. also triggered a state level investigation virginia alcohol enforcement officers used excess force in the encounter. his name is marquessch marquis. brian todd with how this came to be. >> hey, his head is bleeding! >> reporter: a disturbing scene on the sidewalk. just a few feet from the university of virginia campus martese johnson, a 20-year-old uva student is pinned to the ground by agents for the virginia department of alcoholic beverage control. an injury to his head requiring

ten stitches. >> how did this happen you [ bleep ] racist. >> reporter: what's your opinion of the way police treated him? >> i mean i didn't necessarily see any violence. but then again, i didn't see any of them trying to help him. >> reporter: uva student jennifer goldman witnessed part of the confrontation early wednesday when johnson was already on the ground. she recognized him from an orientation session he'd led this year. >> very outgoing and nice and bright and cheerful. >> reporter: virginia's governor ordered an investigation into whether excessive force was used concerned over these images of johnson's head bloodied. for young african-americans who protested on the streets of charlottesville, this reopens the wounds of ferguson madison, staten island. >> we're pissed. we're angry. we want answers. we want people to be punished

for, you know, the mistreatment they had on martese. we need people to be held accountable. >> reporter: uva's black student alliance calls the treatment animalistic. johnson himself the rally in a drastic tone. >> we need to respect each other in times like this. >> reporter: but even wednesday night's protest, police got one woman in a headlock. the officers who arrested johnson are from a state agency known as abc. an official of that agency would not respond to the allegations of excessive force. in charging documents, johnson is described as being intoxicated, agitated and belligerent. just got turned away from a bar on st. patrick's day. it's not clear how he sustained these wounds or what happened in the scene before this was videotaped. as you come back to the scene, still see his blood here how do you feel? >> now seeing it all in the daylight it's all surreal.

i can't believe i saw it firsthand. >> this is not the first time the agents have been accused of excessive force, right? >> reporter: that's right, anderson. in april 2013 these virginia abc agents arrested 20-year-old elizabeth bailey. she was a university of virginia student. they swarmed her car outside of harris teether supermarket here. they thought she was purchasing beer underage. they swarmed the car. they arrested her. it turns out she was carrying bottled water and some cookie dough. they changed policy. a very embarrassing episode for this agency in virginia. >> brian todd appreciate that. dr. marcus martin chief officer for diversity and equity. joining us now, dr. martin thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> i understand you spoke to martese johnson. what did he tell you about the incident? >> that's correct. anderson let me preface this by

saying i'm a professor of emergency medicine but not in the emergency department when martese came in. i don't have access to medical records and i don't have access to the police records but i spoke with him along with several other students in the office of dr. maurice, the dean of office of african-american affairs. i've known for three years, member of the honor committee, orientation leader a mentor in the office for african-american affairs. he's an upstanding citizen and contributed a lot to the university and the community. he told me when i saw him that he was on the corner and that's the area across from the university with other students. he was talking to the person at the front door of the particular pub, i guess the bouncer. and suddenly he was asked to come over to speak with an abc

officer. the officer asked him for his id. he presented the id. and there was some confusion about whether the id was fake or not and the id was not fake. i saw his id. he has id from the state of illinois. his birthday is listed correctly on the id. i think the agency officer asked him his zip code. he gave a zip code for his current home his mother bought a new home recently. but his id from the state of illinois which is still valid through june when he becomes 21 had a different zip code. so there was some confusion i think for the abc officer. and then he was asked to go over and speak to another abc officer and he was asked about his id again. and i think he showed his id. and then there was some words exchanged when he was accused of having a fake id. and then things escalated. and then he told me he was pushed the back of his neck

down to the hard pavement which is a brick pavement in front of the pub. >> so what do you -- >> and that's when he sustained his injuries. >> what do you make of this incident? as in the position you're in. >> right, right. as an emergency physician, i see all sorts of injuries gunshot wounds stabbings, i mean i've even incidenttu bated young people. and take care of individuals intoxicated. he apparently was not intoxicated by way of a breathalyzer test. >> so a breathalyzer test was done? >> a breathalyzer test was done. he told me i don't have the results of that but the breathalyzer test was done at the police station. and it did not indicate he was intoxicated. the by standers credible witnesses i spoke with indicated that he did not resist arrest

but however, he was charged on obstructing justice, to my knowledge, as well as being drunk in public. near of neither seems to have occurred. even so no one should have been treated this way that brutally pushed down on the hard walk pavement and sustained trauma like he did. he had a vertical laceration forehead into the scalp, which i saw and where the stitches were placed. bruising redness, abrasions about his face that should not have happened. this should have been deescalated and officers could have taken him to the side i believe, and just said okay well let's have a conversation rather than pushing down to the pavement. >> dr. martin i want you to stay with us because i want to bring in new york times volume charles blow and secret service agent dan bongino.

charles, do you believe excessive force was used here? we don't see the incident that precipitated. >> it's really hard to know from watching a video. it's very gory very unsettling. we don't know what happened before that. we only have kind of statements from the young man who was pushed to the ground statements. from authorities. i guess the bigger question for me though is not necessarily about the case itself as much as it is about the why discretion that authorities have. so people can exercise a little bit of force, they can exercise tremendous amount of force, and it can all fall within policies procedures and training. so that you can have a situation where somebody could be escalating. you don't have to push it all the way to the top. and they choose to do that because it's in their discretion

to do it. it's disturbing because you can see how someone would have been detained without excessive use of force or massive use of force in this case. you could see how people could be still alive and not dead and take it into custody, but we see these cases happen over and over again where people know they can make the choice within the policy. >> dan, how do you see this? look anytime alcohol is involved and the doctor was saying he believes the breathalyzer was taken and that alcohol wasn't found and police certainly seemed to have indicated that they believed he was drunk at the time or under the influence. how do you see this? >> well i think there are two important issues here. anderson the first being, we're overcriminalized as a society. being a former law enforcement officer and honestly being a young kid who tried to smeek into bars i can say on your television show i've seen it from both sides. is it necessary and granted, i have not seen what happened

before the incident but i think we could all agree trying to sneak into the bar is probably not worthy of 10 stitches in the head or an incident like this. we saw in the garner case in staten island as well. you had a case of loose cigarettes where a man leaves in a box dead. as a society, are we willing to use force to enforce laws like this which could be easily handled with some type of a court summons or some lesser fine? >> dr. martin what do you want to see happen now? obviously, investigations are going to be going on. >> yes. now, in this case the young man was charged with i think, using profanity and being drunk in public as well as obstructing justice. i would like to see those charges eliminated from his record. president of the university teresa sullivan has already worked with the governor's office an asked for an

independent evaluation of investigation of this incident. and hopefully, the investigation will show that he's not guilty of these charges. as i said the breathalyzer test showed that he was not intoxicated. you can have numbers on a breathalyzer test but he was not intoxicated. the other thing too, we need healing here in this community. the university of virginia has been under quite a bit of duress for the past year or so. our students held a rally last night under about 1500 or so students here from neighboring institutions like virginia tech to go support the students. students have an event tomorrow. they'll have a discussion with local police tomorrow to get a better understanding about what's going on here and aspects of safety. we want a safe environment. we work very hard to be a welcoming environment and inclusive environment and when we have incidents like this it

takes it down a notch. and it drains us all. the motions are running high with students with staff, with the community. we need to heal. >> charles, again, we haven't seen the actual incident. so it's very easy to, you know project what you think happened on to this. but at the very least, there seems like with this agency presentations of training the prior incident in 2013 where the gun was drawn on somebody who was a woman thought to have alcohol in her car. turned out to be sparkling water. as you said police have a lot of discretion. >> right. what we have to figure out is are the authorities in each of these cases equally applying that to every -- i think a lot of the protests and backlashes is whether or not people feel like it's an equal application of this. if we can step back to see patterns that are inequitable, we have to address those as society, not just one officer.

>> should point out, the prior incident the woman was caucasian, if that matters to people. interesting discussion. dan bongino as well. dr. martin as well. charles is going to stick around. just ahead, breaking news out of mississippi. fb is now investigating the death of african-american man, body found hanging from a tree. new details about his identity. not clear what happened. could have been suicide. could have been something else. new developments in tunisia. plus the weapon the attackers never got to use.

breaking news tonight out of mississippi with troubling overtone. the discovery of an african-american man's body hanging from a tree in the woods. now it's important to say right at the top neither we nor investigators have all the facts. we don't know if it's suicide. we don't know if it's something else. we know the fbi and the justice department's civil rights division considered serious enough to get involved. law enforcement official say the man is believed to be a 54-year-old man named otis byrd. convicted killer missing since earlier this month. body found in the woods not far from the home he had been living in mississippi's claiborne county southwest of the capital, jackson. shortly before air time. county sheriffs spoke to reporters and described the scene. >> got down and we seen a man that had, the first time i ever

witnessed anything like that in clayton county. >> there's sheriff lucas, would not identify the body nor comment on the type of injuries pending an autopsy. he did deny the victim's hands had been tied behind his back. cnn's evan perez working the story. joining us with more. it seems obviously a lot of caution should be done on reporting the story. frankly, this very well could be a suicide. what else have you learned from law enforcement? >> that's right, anderson. this otis byrd went missing on march 2nd according to authorities. his family reported him missing on march 8th. and they started looking for him. they went to search this area. this area where this body was found today. was searched before. however, they hadn't searched this exact area. about 500 yards behind where it was a wooded area. it was 10:00 this morning. the local authorities called in the fbi immediately and the

justice department for obvious reasons. the circumstances in which the body was found. >> also evan the sheriff said they'd been raining in the area so that is why they haven't searched in that part of the woods. that would, if there were any traces of footprints that would make it more difficult for law enforcement to figure out what had happened. >> right. it would complicate what they're trying to do. that's one, also decomposed body. that's one reason why they're having perhaps, taking a look before they publicly announce who they found there, anderson. and we know that the authorities there were immediately concerned simply because the lynching history in mississippi is something that, you know immediately has brought reminders of that and so the justice department wanted to make sure they were also involved very quickly. >> does his criminal record or have authorities said how his criminal record may play into something or not? i think the sheriff said he

didn't know of any enemies this guy had. >> they don't know yet but because he was convicted of killing someone, that is immediately what i was told by authorities was that immediately part of the investigation to see if someone who had a beef with him, someone who wanted to get even with him even after these many years was possibly involved in this, anderson. >> all right, evan. i appreciate the update. bring in cnn law enforcement analyst and director, tom fuentes and cnn new york columnist charles below. tom, obviously the fbi involvement, is that just out of given the history, the fbi would automatically be called in on something like this? >> that's true. a black man hanging from a tree. it conjures up practically century old domestic terrorism committed against blacks in the south by white supremacist groups such as the coupku klux clan.

they go to start the investigation right now. they don't know if it's suicide or if somebody else had another reason to kill him. he made enemies in prison, enemies out of prison. all those facts will have to be investigated but the appearance of it is enough to get the fbi involved right away. >> tom, the fact his hands were not tied behind his back he had a skull cap on his head. obviously, law enforcement would look for some signs of a struggle. any indications of depression or any indications that he wanted to take his life or also indications of how the rope was tied i suppose, and how he ended up in that tree and anything around that area? >> right. they'll need the full results of the autopsy once that's finished and again, interview all of the family members and everybody else that knew him to see if there's some other indications of trouble in his life that may

have caused him to want to take his own life or may have caused somebody else to want to take it for him. >> charles, we should point out whether it was his bed sheet used, that may be an important factor for law enforcement. >> yeah this whole story makes me want to tread very lightly because we just know so little. i understand the history, the legacy but we don't know anything. we don't know how far up the ground he was, was he able to do it himself, which we've helped to indicate maybe it was a suicide or -- >> the thing about suicide is it's so in some ways it's something people don't talk about much. it's something that's so still inexplicable to many people. to family members. >> right. >> it would be possible for family members to say, there's no way this person would commit suicide and we've seen time and time again, that actually happens. >> anderson could i ask one more thing? the sheriff asked for the fbi to come in. so you can have the fbi involvement based just on the

request for assistance by a local sheriff who may feel he doesn't have the expertise, even in a standard homicide where they don't suspect a more sinister motive for killing him. the fact that the fbi is there, yes, the civil rights division is there too, but calling in the fbi is a possibility. happens all the time in small jurisdictions. >> i will say, when i first saw this headline online, it obviously draws one's attention but as you look at the details and the reason we talk about it tonight, i think it's important to tread very carefully to point out all the things we don't know and what authorities don't know and still need to be investigated. tom fuentes, thank you. charles blow as well. ahead, how much worse the attack in tunis could have been and responsibility claimed from isis. benjamin netanyahu wants a two-state solution. the reverse swift reaction from the white house 6-. we've helped guide our clients through good times and bad.

other shoe to drop in the tunis museum massacre. it did. isis claimed this attack warning

this is just the beginning. we can't independently verify the online audio statement came from isis. 23 people lost their lives in the assault by men armed with automatic weapons and we're just now learning from tunisian authorities they had explosives as well. arwa damon is there in tunis joining us. the claim by isis what do authorities there make of it? do they believe it? >> reporter: well it seems like they're taking it very seriously at this stage and they most seriously are taking the threats that are being made in that threat more seriously given what has transpired but one has to remember these individuals carried out these attacks may not have been isis members and just inspired by the group. that is perhaps what is most disturbing is that people do not need to necessarily be isis remembers. isis does not need to issue orders. its supporters out there are proving themselves to be fully capable of carrying out these kinds of attacks.

still a very murky situation with these other groups tied to al qaeda also claiming responsibility at this stage, anderson. >> nine people have already been arrested in connection with the attack. do we know much about the suspects? >> reporter: not a lot right now. we do know that four of the nine were according to the government here directly linked to the attack. we don't know if the three gunmen still believed to be at large were among those who were detained. we do know however from the president, the two gunmen who were killed were carrying explosives on them. the president praising the quick response of the tunisian security forces saying they prevented even more bloodshed from taking place but this is still a nation very much really trying to cope with what happened and also the potential for even more violence. remember this is a country that has upwards of 3,000 foreign fighters in the battlefields alongside isis in both iraq and

syria. hundreds of them believed to have returned back to this country. what plays at the museum behind us is something people fear if the measures are not put into. >> do they believe the gunmen on the loose are terrorists? >> reporter: at this stage, at least three of the gunmen are believed to be on the loose and we don't know if the chains are the gunmen's affiliate. we don't know if it's a cell part of a broader isis network here or just a group of individuals who were perhaps inspired by isis. and then wanted to carry out this attack. the government is saying that in the last four weeks, they detained 400 individuals on terrorism charges, but again, nothing substantial. so the population is really tense because they don't know how large the threat is that exists out there.

>> arwa, appreciate it. stay safe. new information on the israel relationship. president obama offered congratulations to netanyahu's win and commitment to the state solution. something mr. netanyahu disavowed late in the campaign and recommitted to earlier today. in light of that president obama had warning. for more now on what it was and why it could be serious, we are joined by jim acosta at the white house. the fact this congratulatory phone call happened a day and a half. >> reporter: the white house didn't like he went about it. the white house official confirms president told netanyahu in a phone call that the administration will need to reassess its options after the prime minister's comment afs the two-state solution with the palestinians. this congratulations comes with consequences. >> netanyahu is the man who basically disavowed a two state solution now says he's for snit.

>> reporter: yeah. the white house is not buying what netanyahu is selling today anderson. administration officials much more focused on what netanyahu said when he rejected palestinian state hood. the white house sees that comment as a key reversal that could damage prospects for middle east peace. outraged over this other remark from netanyahu that voters head to the poll in drones officials blasting racially tinged and undemocratic. josh earnest called that a cynical election day tactic aimed to marginalize voters. he tried to walk back flip-flopping on his flip-flop but on the palestinian issue, he said he supports a two-state solution but judging by the president's phone call that's not enough anderson. >> president obama said the u.s. needs to reassess aspects of the relationship. that doesn't sound like rosy

times ahead. >> it does not and officials are threatening to allow votes at the united nations in favor of palestinian state. that may not sound like a whole lot to people out there but that's a measure blocked before time and again. republicans who invited netanyahu to speak before congress before this went down had talks with iran. republicans say get over it but anderson all indications are here at the white house the president is not over it. he will not be over it for some time. >> jim acosta thank you very much. ahead, did the v.a. do enough to save this veteran's life? richard miles struggled with ptsd for years before finally killing himself. he reached out to the v.a. days before his body found frozen in the woods. new details tonight that left one person dead. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome;

on monday the american liege will hold a town hall meeting for local veterans in los angeles. the event sparked by a report on this program by our own drew griffin retailing the appointments subjected to at the greater v.a. los angeles health care saw, the country's large

est v.a. system. may have been hiding wait times and misled congress about exactly how long the waits really are. now in other words, the scandal over wait times that drew cover and led to the resignation of eric shinseki last year may not be over and the care it provides to veterans from post-traumatic stress. jake tapper voted extensively. the loved ones say the v.a. failed him. >> i need help. on february 15 iraq war veteran came to this hospital in des moines iowa and told the staff, quote, i need help. according to the hospital's records. miles had told friends he was going to check himself in. >> he was diagnosed with worsened ptsd anxiety and insomnia but richard miles not admitted to the hospital.

5 days later, the 40-year-old who served three tours in iraq was found dead in the woods having taken a toxic amount of sleeping pills, his body frozen in the elements. those who loved richard miles wanted to know whether the v.a. did enough for him that february night. >> that was his cry for help. and it was not taken seriously or received the way it should have been received. >> reporter: richard miles was one of the premiere presenters at the science center of iowa beloved and quite literally a picture perfect employee. >> he was passionate and knowledgeable about science himself and he went beyond that. his passion extended to sharing that knowledge with others. and as excited as he would get about viewing stars in his own, he was tenfold more excited when he could share that with others. >> reporter: what this popular iraq war veteran did not share with most is that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

>> he knew the date and where he was when he had shot and killed people. >> reporter: katie hopper is miles' exgirlfriend and mother to their daughter em lin. she said he left iraq but it never left him. >> he was very very aware of what he was doing when defending people's lives, even if it was for the greater good. >> reporter: medical records obtained by cnn stated years after miles' return from iraq in 2004 he quote, began to experience depression with suicidal attempts. he recalled seeing dead bodies and often had graphic violent dreams. friends and family saw miles struggle with his ptsd but say he was doing generally okay. until january when he disappeared. v.a. records show friends called the iowa v.a. to look for miles and told the v.a. they were filing a missing persons report with local law enforcement. miles finally responded days later to his friend harry oler who reached out by a text.

>> he wrote back i didn't mean to get people worried. i just need to spend some time at the hospital to figure things out. >> reporter: thankfully miles returned and chose to stay with katie hopper but after only a few days he became restless. >> i said do you feel like you need to get out of the house, do you want to go for a drive, for a walk? he said no i'm going to the v.a. >> i said right now? >> he said yeah i'm going right now. >> reporter: where he must have been to take these steps? >> the thought of that would lead him to want to get help. because he would be letting down his daughter his son, his friends, and that was not an option for him. >> reporter: on february 15 miles left several belongings with hopper and went to the hospital. it was a familiar place to the veteran whose medical records show a long history of suicidal acts and thoughts. from 2008 to 2009 miles was

hospitalized four times for ptsd made two attempts to hang himself, and brought a gun into a separate hospital ward with the plan to kill himself. on february 15th miles told the hospital attendant he needed help but doctor's note say he denied feeling suicidal when asked. >> he came home three hours later. >> were you surprised? >> yes. and i was like what are you doing here? he says, i'm done. i said what do you mean you're done? i thought you would be days or weeks even. >> he said me too but they gave me medication and said my psychiatrist would follow up with me this week and set up an appointment. >> reporter: miles did not make it that long. he went into these woods where he and hopper used to go and never came back. after taking the toxic dose of sleeping pills, miles found frozen to death in this clearing wearing no jacket, no shoes and most infuriates no clear reason why his life had to end like this. >> the v.a. failed him.

i feel like they failed him. >> reporter: the v.a. tells cnn that the emergency room staff, quote, followed proper mental health screening procedures and that miles had given medication he indicated helped him in the past. they refused to answer any more of our questions citing federal privacy laws. the friends and family of richard miles want the virginia to learn from their tragedy. they want the v.a. to figure out what they could have done differently with miles so the next veteran is admitted and helped. >> what do you not have now that this happened? >> a friend. my daughter doesn't have her father. people he touched so many people. he was so great. >> reporter: the iowa v.a. however, seems more focused on defending itself than on learning from any mistakes. >> i really do feel as though the v.a. failed him. ultimately, i feel like it's

kind of on them. >> so jake if proper procedures were followed in this case i mean it's got to be asked, is the v.a. dealing with suicidal veterans adequately enough? >> reporter: that's a great question. although there are plenty of suicidal veterans who do get into the v.a. system and access it this is hardly the first instance like this this richard miles story a cry for help not heard. i've spoken to many experts and they say it's difficult to tell that a veteran is suicidal if he says he is not, though looking back at the richard miles case with all the red flags, the missing persons report the previous suicidal attempts experts say richard miles should have been admitted. now we also spoke, anderson with a whistle blower at the phoenix v.a. and said this is a systemic problem. the v.a. is not aggressive enough when it comes to at-risk veterans. >> tragic. jake, appreciate it. again, that american legion town hall meeting at the top of the

hour we'll be there. spring starts tomorrow but does not mean winter is over. snowstorm is scheduled to hit the east coast dumping several inches of snow with places that have seen enough. we've got the forecast. ahead, a wild police chase. a suspect on a motorcycle taunting police with stunts, the whole thing captured on camera. i have a cold with terrible chest congestion. i better take something. theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion.
