tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNN  April 13, 2015 8:00pm-9:01pm PDT

8:00 pm
hope you do. go to cnn heroes.com. that's it for me tonight. thanks so much for watching. i'm brooke baldwin. i'll be back in the chair this time tomorrow. hope to see you then. in the meantime ac 360 starts right now. >> >> take a look. >> roll on your stom being now! a white volunteer deputy is
8:01 pm
now facing manslaughter charges after shooting and killing a black suspect. the incident was caught on >> i need you to roll on your stomach, now. [ gunshot ] >> oh, i shot him, i'm sorry. >> and you just heard the 73-year-old reserve deputy's voice there. he's charged with second-degree manslaughter. if you're wondering what a 73-year-old man was done with a badge, a taser, a gun. how it came to be is drawing attention to tulsa and all across the country. more on all of it from ed lavendera. >> reporter: eric harris is caught on tape allegely lydlialingy selling a handgun. deputies race in to arrest him. harris takes off running. >> stop right here. stop right here! stop stop stop stop stop! stop right here! and deputies chase and tackle him to the ground. >> roll on your stomach, now!
8:02 pm
>> stop fighting. [ gunfire ] >> oh i shot him, i'm sorry. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> he shot me! he shot me! >> stop fighting! get your hands up! >> he shot me man. >> i didn't do [ bleep ]. he. >> he shot me man. >> eric harris would later die at the hospital. harris's brother said deputies went too far. >> there shouldn't have been the taser used. there shouldn't have been no type of force used on my brother other than putting his hands behind his back in handcuffed. the last thing my brother heard as he went to be with the lord
8:03 pm
is f your breath as if he didn't matter. >> the deadly shot was fired by robert bates. bates writes as harris resisted there was a small window to deploy his taser. i remember thinking i have to deploy it rapidly. as i thought there was a strong possibility harris had a gun. he said he was meant to use his taser, but was left in shock once he realized he uses his gun. and bates isn't a full fledged sheriff's deputy. he's a certified peace officer who volunteers in the department's reserve deputy prime minister. he's been a long-time benefactor of the tulsa sheriff's department. he's donated cars and video equipment. eric harris's family equipment said bates has paid a lot of money to play a cop in his spare time. >> it's absolutely mind-boggling that you have a wealthy
8:04 pm
businessman who's been essentially deputized to go play like he's some outlaw. like he's just cleaning up the streets. >> sheriff's officials say bates has undergone extensive training and bates himself says that he's assisted the violent crimes task force at least a hundred other times. >> he hasn't paid to play a cop. no matter how you cut it up he met all the criteria on the counselling and training to be in the role he was in. >> reporter: so could he have confused his two weapons? eric harris's attorney showed us what they look like. a bright yellow taser versus a gun. >> they don't function the same. they don't feel the same. >> we also asked bates's attorney this question. he said bates experienced a phenomenon known as slip and capture. >> which means your intended behavior slips off track and is
8:05 pm
captured by another behavior that might be more well rehearsed or motorized internal than your initial intention. so what ends up happening is you do the opposite of what you intended. >> ed joins us now from tulsa. i've never heard of this slip and capture. you've been in touch with bates's attorney since his client was charged with second-degree manslaughter. what's he saying now? what's the latest? >> they say that robert bates is not guilty of this manslaughter charge that he was doing his duties as were well outlined and legal within his rights as a reserve deputy with the tulsa county sheriff's department. and obviously they say they will fight these charges, but they had been pushing the district attorney's office to push it off as an excusable homicide. >> what was his role supposed to
8:06 pm
be? is it common to have people who have donated money and undergone training on an undercover sting operation? is that how they're supposed to be used? >> well based on his statement that we obtained today in conversations with sheriff's officials here in tulsa today, we understand that robert bates was not a part of the front line of the undercover agents that were going in moving in to arrest eric harris that it was when eric harris slipped past the first line of undercover agents and was running away that that was what put robert bates into that situation. he was supposed to have been they tell me in a backup role in that situation, but what once eric harris started running, that's what thrust him into that position they say, to make that call to use his taser, and then obviously mistaking it for his handgun. >> ed, appreciate it. let's get perspective on this incident. the phenomenon of pay to play law enforcement and the kind of training that critics say encouraging handcuffing or piling on mortally wounded
8:07 pm
people. we're joined by dan bongeeeno and phil stenson, criminal justice professor. cnn legal analyst and former prosecutor sonny hostin. >> have you ever heard of slip and capture, that motor memory took over have you heard of this? >> i haven't heard of that specific term, but i've heard of that phenomenon, training in the red zone is one way. when i was in the secret service, that's what we used to do. in other words he would engage in vigorous physical activity in a stress test, and then do a judgment course with your firearm, when you're breathing really heavily and you're not thinking correctly. then you have to think, do i shoot or not engage the target? so i've heard it called a couple of different things but never slip and capture. >> phil is there any science to back this up? >> no it's junk science. it's not something that's supported by a testable theory.
8:08 pm
there's no peer-reviewed articles that would support this. we don't know -- there's no known rate of error. it's not generally accepted by the scientific community. in most courts not admissible as evidence. >> sonny, this phenomenon of wealthy people who want to who are donating money to law enforcement and get to be reserve officers. i guess they do go through some training but it also sounds like this guy bates is also very close friends with the sheriff, they're fishing buddies and the sheriff gave a press conference saying how close they are and what a good guy he is. >> i think that's right. and you're certainly in a dangerous place when you're allowing wealthy people to pay money almost to play cop. and certainly if you're prosecuting a case like this this is not the most difficult case. right now he's been charged with i believe, second-degree
8:09 pm
manslaughter. and all you have to prove for second-degree manslaughter is that someone else similarly situated would have acted differently, would have used different care ordinary care. and i think it goes to sort of the larger question here. if you're gonna have someone pretending to be a police officer under the color of law, allowed to have a gun, they have to have the appropriate training. these deputies don't have the same training that dan bongino has. you just heard him talk about his type of training. this deputy didn't have that kind of training. should he have been in that position? when i've looked at these organizations across the country, they're usually in a support role doing crowd caroll surveillance. they're not arresting people running around with guns and shooting. >> dan, my understanding, reserve officers on this police force, in the past have been
8:10 pm
used on busy shopping days when there's a risk of cars in a parking lot hitting shoppers outside a mall to police the parking lot to make sure pedestrians aren't hit. would you want this guy, a reserve officer having your back in a task force situation? >> no i wouldn't. sonny's right. i think the nypd has a particularly good model here with their auxiliary police department. these are unpaid positions. doesn't matter what you donate or not. you go through a police academy and you're primarily used in traffic situations like you said busy shopping areas. they're not armed with a regular police officer. i think you were setting yourself up for failure in this situation in tulsa, having a 73-year-old man. however good or bad intentioned, in that kind of situation with a potential gun crime. that was a recipe for disaster. >> obviously, this guy should not have shot the suspect.
8:11 pm
you question whether he even should have been going for his taser. can you explain that? >> well i don't think there was any need for the taser. it all happened so very quickly. but if you look back at the video, the officer who had taken down mr. harris was trying to get him turned over and get him handcuffed. there was a split second later when bates fired the taser or thought he was firing the taser and actually fired the gun. there was no need for it. and the problem with that it makes me think that bates was here for the action of it all. that he was determined to get involved in the action. he was determined to use this taser and never thought about the appropriateness of it. he was just determined to use the taser. >> sonny, it's interesting -- >> tragic results. >> -- you hear somebody say taser, taser, i'm not sure if that's bates indicating that he's going to use the taser or if somebody is calling for a taser. my sense is it's bates saying he's about to use the taser? is that what you thought? >> that's what i thought.
8:12 pm
i've watched it several times, it's still a bit unclear to me. but what isn't unclear, is when you look at the facts here, he called that morning, he called the task force to ask what was going on. he wanted to be on a part of this. and while he's volunteered, i think my understanding is over a thousand hours, bottom line is he doesn't have the training necessary to participate in this. is that the kind of model that we want? do we want really what are ordinary citizens with enough money, to play to be police officers policing our streets? this is a very very dangerous precedent. and i think it's now time for either the justice department perhaps or every single police department to review this deputy status. because we're going to see more and more of this kind of thing, if it hasn't more than we even know. >> and to dan's point, new york city has auxiliary police, but it's not people who have donated tens of thousands of dollars to buy police cars and equipment
8:13 pm
and stuff. just as a civilian it would kind of concern me that somebody because they're able to donate money and they're friends with the chief, gets to play a role in a police department no matter what kind of training they've had. >> it's very concerning. we've seen this before. if you think of the movie that's been out recently fox catcher, john dupont who was convicted of murdering back in 1996, hooey had given a great deal of money, given cars use of helicopter actually set up a firing range for a township police department outside of philadelphia pennsylvania. so we've seen this before. if you think about the troubles that police departments and sheriff's offices have with budgets in recent years, you know, it's rather tempting, i'm sure, if you're the head of that type of agency to take someone up on this and give them the action experience they're looking for. it's really pay for play. >> phil good to have you on dan, and sonny as well. quick reminder you can watch
8:14 pm
360 anytime you like. just ahead tonight, breaking news we now have the identity of the mystery passenger in the south carolina police shooting as well as a new tape with the officer now charged with murder. you'll hear him laugh. that's something that's going to be probably brought up in court. we'll play the tape for you. >> and later screams from the cargo bay of an alaska airlines jet after it was airborne. got the latest on who was in there and what happened next. also marco rubio entering the presidential race. we'll look at what he brings to the race and how he hopes to walk away with the nomination. if you're taking multiple medications does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene available as an oral rinse toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good a dry mouth isn't
8:15 pm
biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. ♪ ♪ ♪ you're only young once. unless you have a subaru. (announcer) the subaru xv crosstrek. symmetrical all-wheel drive plus 34 mpg. love. it's what makes a subaru a subaru. i care deeply about the gulf. i grew up in louisiana. i went to school here. i've been with bp ever since. today, i lead a team that sets our global safety standards. after the spill we made two commitments. to help the gulf recover and become a safer company. we've worked hard to honor both. bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment.
8:16 pm
and five years of research shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. we've toughened safety standards too. including enhanced training... and 24/7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. and everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. what happened here five years ago changed us. i'm proud of the progress we've made both in the gulf and inside bp. europe has big buildings like ours. only famous. and older. and gorgeous. and not like ours at all.
8:17 pm
only florida's natural brings you that "straight from the grove taste" from us, the orange juice growers... to you morin' ma'am. the orange juice lovers. enjoy. florida's natural. the presidential race got a little more crowded today. joining rand paul and jeb bush,
8:18 pm
marco rubio. >> grounded by the lessons of our history, but inspired by the promise of our future, i announce my candidacy for president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> he made the announcement today at miami's freedom tower, where so many cuban immigrants got their first taste of life in america more than 50 years ago. other than that gesture, his message was consciously aimed at looking forward, not back. dana bash was there for the event. touching on a lot of themes tonight, none more so than the story of where he came from and how that's shaped the man he is today. >> that story anderson really put him on the political map. i've been going back and looking at some of his old speeches, including from when he was 34 years old, when he was the incoming speaker of the state house here in florida. he gave the same moving speech about his family, his parents, and about so many other people in this country who had the same
8:19 pm
kind of story, and can only get ahead in a country like this, it really is the american dream. and that -- there's no -- as i said to an adviser who agreed to me today, why reinvent the wheel? it's been working for him for so long this story, on a state level, and on a -- just to go to the senate and why not use it to run for president? >> no uncertain terms, he framed this election as a generational choice, which is a not so subtle dig at hillary clinton. >> not at all. he all but said her name, and that was one of the biggest applause lines in the room. in the freedom tower, which is what you see behind me. that was certainly aimed at hillary clinton, the idea that he say 43-year-old, she is a 60-something-year-old and it's time for a new generation. he's been using that line many many times. however, there is somebody else who is going to be a competitor in the nearer term, and that is his mentor, jeb bush, who is
8:20 pm
also 60-something. and the line that struck me in his speech was saying that he's not going to wait his turn. some people say, wait your turn, but he's not going to do that, because he believes his time has come now. it struck me, anderson, so many people i speak to who are good friends with both of them say they're upset that rubio isn't waiting his turn because he's a generation younger and that if jeb bush wants to run, then he should be supporting his mentor. >> what is their relationship like now, do we know? the fact that they're both going to be running. >> i'm told that it's not necessarily strained, but they're certainly not on the phone all the time, as you can imagine. they happened to sit next to each other randomly on a plane, going to nashville for the nra convention within the past week, and they certainly talked. ana navarro, who is friends with
8:21 pm
both of them said rubio was joking about the speech he was working on, while he was sitting next to bush. but look, i mean, it certainly is not an easy thing when you have somebody like jeb bush who really -- just looking at the public statements, never mind what went on privately, was his intellectual mentor, rubio's intel mentlectual mentor when it came to pushing the ideas that rubio has been pushing for the last 15 years or so. >> dana, i appreciate the reporting, thank you, tonight. we have polling on how senator rubio and hillary clinton face off, now that both are in the running. the most recent for mid-march, show rubio with 42% in march. in a head-to-head match-up. that's 13 points shy of secretary clinton's 55%. she heading by van to iowa after announcing her candidacy yesterday. in a highly produced video. >> i'm running for president. >> americans have fought their way back from tough economic times. but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
8:22 pm
>> she's out on the street with people in our relaxed setting, quite a contrast from her rather formal looking video the last time around. >> i announce today that i'm forming a presidential exploratory committee. i'm not just starting a campaign though. i'm beginning a conversation. >> clearly a change from eight years ago, there have been others as the clinton forces draw lessons from the past that they hopefully ease the way to the white house. more on that tonight from jeff zeleny. >> reporter: the second time around you'll hear less of this. >> and i'm in it to win it. >> reporter: you'll see less of this. >> thank you all so much! >> reporter: and there will almost certainly be no helicopter or as she called it the hillicopter, whisking her from stop to top last time in iowa. the list of lessons learned for hillary clinton is long, she's had 7 years to think about mistakes and how she intends to campaign for president differently this time. >> i'm getting ready for a lot
8:23 pm
of things. >> reporter: some of those differences were on clear display in her announcement video released sunday. >> reporter: the first time it was all hillary all the time. >> let's talk. let's chart. let's start a dialogue about your ideas and mine. >> now, she let people speak for themselves. >> every day we're trying to get more and more ready and more prepared. >> right now i'm applying for jobs. >> i'm getting ready to retire soon. >> reporter: until finally, as almost an afterthought she appeared on screen and said it. >> i'm getting ready to do something too, i'm running for president. >> this campaign she says is not about her political ambitions, it's about you. >> everyday americans need a champion, and i want to be that champion. >> reporter: the road to the white house sbinss with the iowa caucuses. that's her first official campaign stop on tuesday. but she said no thanks to an airplane ticket and instead took a road trip, riding along more than 1,000 miles to prove the point that this campaign will be different. >> so i'm hitting the road to earn your vote.
8:24 pm
because it's your time. and i hope you'll join me on this journey. >> never mind that by her own admission, she hasn't driven a car in 20 years. whether this ride along road trip is a gimmick or genuine, the voters will ultimately decide. there's no question it's one of the lessons learned. she intends to pursue a different path to the presidency. she's eager to reintroduce herself -- >> i'm back! >> caller: she knows it weant look as though he's reinventing herself or being inauthentic. she's about to test whether one of the most famous people in the world will be given a second chance. jeff zeleny, cnn, washington. >> two new candidates in the last day and a half, including the democratic front-runner and rising gop store. that's not the only reason to remember this moment. there's also this, tonight is our very first chance at the 2016 presidential campaign to say time to bring in the political panel. i sense we'll be saying that a
8:25 pm
lot in the coming year or two. welcome back, paul begala. co-chairs a pro-clinton super pak. chief national correspondent john king and gop strategist ana navarro who is a supporter of jeb bush and a friend of marco rubio. yet again, we're hearing that hillary clinton is being reintroduced. doesn't it seem like she's been reintroduced an awful lot and haven't people pretty much made up their minds about her one way or another? >> the short answer is yes, but there's still a lot people don't know. i'm surprised people think she was born in the white house. she needs to reconnect with her authentic roots which are in the midwest, like this trip in the van. this is how she wanted to run for president. here's how i know. in '07 she was thinking about running for president, i had dinner with her. i helped a kand -- candidate win the iowa caucus. she didn't know anything about iowa. i talked about how grassroots
8:26 pm
is, she said to me then, if i had my drothers i would rent a car and drive across the state. and yet in that '08 campaign, she flew in on a helicopter like the queen of sheba. that was antithetical to her ideals. this campaign is starting around who hillary actually is. i'm happy as a friend of hers. >> do you believe she can reintroduce herself as somebody, you know, kind of just a regular lady from the midwest? >> i'm not even sure she's going to introduce herself. one of the things we saw very little of in that introduction video was hillary clinton. for the first 90 seconds, i thought we were watching a snuggle commercial for fabric softener. you know, it wasn't until 90 seconds into the commercial she came out and we saw a snippet of her. i don't know if she's going to be able to reintroduce herself, she has hired marketing geniuses and experts to rebrand her. she hired michelle obama's
8:27 pm
communication guru, the woman who suggested to michelle obama that she go to target that she dance on jimmy fallon to make her a relatable woman of the people and i think that's the attempt you're seeing this weekend with this video. >> what do you think about the shifting in campaign strategy or tactics? >> i remember hillary clinton from the late '80s, early '90s, she can be a fun conversationalist, she does tell very funny jokes. she has that bob dole david letterman, midwest cutting sense of humor. let's see if we get more of hillary clinton. i'll also say this, yes hillary clinton took a helicopter in iowa last time, because maybe she wanted to get in the van. some advisers suggested the helicopter, they said it was better. she accepted that advice. for all the new people she can hire in this campaign all the different people the question is what decisions does she make? she's the candidate, the ceo. if she wants to be different, she's going to have to prove it. we'll wait for the explanation, maybe there's a good one.
8:28 pm
but our friend mappingy -- maggie from the "new york times," had to call the manager of the chipotle in ohio. she went to chipotle, got lunch, and she didn't talk to anybody. ohio's kind of important in presidential politics. and if bill clinton were on that ride, he would still be in that chipotle and would have known a third of the people. >> he would be serving food there, wouldn't he? >> he would be eating the burrito off the table next to him. but he's not running. hillary's got to be who she is. maybe she didn't want to plague people while they were trying to eat their burrito. >> well, bill is vegan now. so mostly he would eat the guacamole. >> young first term senator, not a lot of experience, great speaker, but at this time, eight years ago, obama held what 26% in early polling, rubio at 6%, do you think he has a real shot here? >> i do i really do. i'll defer to ana, she knows him
8:29 pm
personally and she know at the field better. this guy's got a lot of talent. he has a really compelling personal story as does barack obama. that is something that draws us in. it's an all american story. he's bilingual, he's from the closest state in the last presidential election, florida. which barack obama only won by less than 1%. i wouldn't count him out at all, i think he has a ton of talent. let's see if he can develop that talent and perform now that he's actually on the track. >> i heard one gop strategist say today that jeb is building the new york yankees, marco is playing money ball. do you think that's an apt comparison? >> i'm not sure marco is going to be lacking funds himself. he has a couple billionaires who are backing him, all you need right now to run a race is one or two billionaires who are willing to put in a lot of their money to have you continue going on. i think marco is appealing, underestimating marco rubio is a mistake. i think you're going to see him
8:30 pm
get a bump in the polls in the next week as we've seen happen with ted cruz after his announcement and with rand paul. and we're going to see happen with hillary clinton, i'm sure. it's part of them being the bell of the ball this one day, the debutante party. we have a long way to go, there's debates, and i think the question you posed at the beginning is the key question. there are some comparisons to barack obama, they're both in their 40s, they were senators with really no accomplishments, but incredible political skills and ability. incredible or torae -- ora tore skills. can he answer the question throughout the primary process of is he ready to lead the free world? >> how does rubio push himself forward? separate himself from the rest of the pack? he can't out-establishment jeb bush. he can't out-conservative some of the other candidates. >> you just put the defining challenge for marco rubio on the table. he has tea party correct, but
8:31 pm
he's not going to get to the right of ted cruz or rand paul for that matter. he was the speaker of the florida house, he's played more has an establishment player. the establishment right now is looking more to jeb bush, we don't know what chris christie is going to do. scott walker got into the race and took the early space in the i'm not jeb bush and i'm younger, next generation. the challenge is to make that case. i will say this, you talk to people in both parties, he's viewed by professionals as the best athlete on the field. the question is can he perform every day over the very long slog that is presidential politics? >> thank you. just ahead, breaking news out of north charleston, south carolina, we know the name of the passenger in walter scott's car, he was the last person other than michael slager to see walter scott alive. question is does he know why he ran? plus new audio tonight, michael slager's recorded comments after he killed mr. scott, what he said and why he's
8:32 pm
sparking outrage tonight. >> everything's okay. okay. i have bayer aspirin. i'm not having a heart attack, it's my back. i mean bayer back & body. it works great for pain. bayer back & body provides effective relief for your tough pain. better? yeah...thanks for the tip! 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.

8:35 pm
we know the name of the man who was in the car with walter
8:36 pm
scott, when michael slager pulled him over. he's obviously a key witness. he may know why mr. scott got out of the car and ran after slager returned to his police cruiser. there's also new audio tonight of slager talking to a senior officer shortly after he killed mr. scott. what do we know about this passenger, first of all? >> first and foremost, we know the name, that is pierre d. fulton, 29 years of age, he's from north charleston, the same community that all of this is taking place. we should point out he does have a criminal record. most seriously, and i guess most recently, unlawful carrying of a weapon here. as you point out, what is the most important thing, is where he was on that terrible saturday morning, he was seated right next to walter scott. that's the information that he's conveyed to investigating authorities. meanwhile, there's also new information that comes from the
8:37 pm
police officer, slager himself, in his own words. take a listen. >> caught on tape, conversations between michael slager and another north charleston police officer in which slager can be heard laughing shortly after shooting walter scott to death. the cameras taken from slager's patrol car and other responding officers. first we hear slager getting a phone call from someone, possibly his wife. >> hey? everything's okay. okay? i just shot somebody. yeah, everything's okay. >> in the same call, he describes what he says happened. [ indiscernible ] the audio ends in static, not before slager delivers the explanation many have found questionable. the dash cameras also recorded another conversation that appears to be between slager and an unidentified officer on scene. possibly a supervisor.
8:38 pm
>> are you good? >> i'm good. >> the sound becomes inaudible. but 41 seconds later, slager's voice returns. >> i just called my wife and told her what happened. then he asks the unidentified officer a question. >> what happens next? >> i'm sure sled will be on the way and we'll get you up to headquarters we'll get you up to headquarters we'll probably once we get you there, we'll let you take your crap off, take your vest off. >> there's a few seconds' break and then the unidentified officer continues. >> you're going to be off for a couple days, they're not going to ask you any kind of questions right now, they're going to take your weapon and we'll go from there, that's pretty much it. last one we had, they waited a couple days to interview. official interview like sit down and say what happened. probably get home, probably be a good idea to jot down your
8:39 pm
