-- awww.vitac.comac -- >r sp see you b night. "ac 360" starts right now. >> good evening. thank you for joining us tonight. another sign that political outsiders are in and insiders are in trouble. this is donald trump ben carson, and bernie sanders. big news for all of them tonight. he has been drawing big crowds, bernie sanders has in support of his race against hillary clinton. and there is fresh evidence in the form of new polling tonight. john king lays out the state of the race right now on both sides by the numbers, john, bernie sanders within striking distance of hillary clinton. break town the numbers for us. >> a competitive race in the state where hillary clinton went off the rails in 2007, 2008.

at the moment, hillary clinton leading with 37%. bernie sanders now in striking distance, 30%. this is significant because of the math, and now hillary clinton is below for the first time. there has to be jitters. he is within striking distance. democrats, this is good news for hillary clinton. 61% of democrats in iowa say the e-mail controversy is not important to them. you could make the argument that 38% think it is important to them. for bernie sanders, 96% of his supporters say they are supporting him because they like him and his ideas. only 2% say this is a rejection of hillary clinton. the supporters for sand east aren't in an anticlinton mood. one more point. the democrats in iowa like their field. use the president as the benchmark. 88% favorable among democrats.

joe biden, hillary clinton, and bernie sanders, all favorable. if you look at the political world we live in, iowa democrats are largely happy with their chases. >> when it comes to the republican field, ben carson is giving donald trump a run for his money. >> two polls. the des moines register poll, donald trump at 23, carson at 18. then ted cruz, scott walker and jeb bush. again, two guys who never held political office leading the race. brand-new out today is the monmouth university poll, that shows donald trump and ben carson tied at 23, 23. and in third place, another candidate who has never held public office. this shows they are looking for somebody who has never held political office and that's hurting guys like governor bush and governoror walker.

>> jeb bush has coup when it comes to favoritible ratings. >> the more people who hear donald trump, his vulgar language, crassness, his refusal to answer some questions and get specific are people going to move away and say forget about it? look at this. in the iowa poll, 61% favorable. 6 in 10 view him favorable. that's dramatic. in today's politics to go from 35% approve in may to 61 is a huge jump. why is it happening? let me show you quickly. republicans are mad as hell. 9 in 10 say they are mad as hell at the government. atwal street, at their republican leadership in congress. 91% are mad as hell at politics in general. they have had it and they are looking for somebody to come to this town and blow it up.

>> let's talk with donna brazil, also jeff lee lord, who served as ronald reagan's white house political director and is a trump supporter. also with us tonight. amanda carpenter, former communications officer for governor ted cruz. amanda, you have ben carson, donald trump, outside the political mold. how concerned should the establishment be at this point. >> the people get in the top tier are who voters want to hear more from. they are saying donald trump, ben carson, carly fiorina, ted cruz, we want to hear more from you. i think for the most part, trump, carson, fiorina, largely not vetted. haven't been in the public eye that long. whereas my former boss ted cruz has and people are very familiar with his poipg.

>> donna, do you think that's true on the democrat side with bernie sanders. amanda is saying they don't necessarily want to vote for trump or carson but they want to hear more. do you think the same is going on with bernie sanders? >> i think amanda is right. at this point, vote remembers window shopping. they are looking at all the candidates. they are going to rallies. they are going to union halls. they are listening to all the candidates to find out if they like them. they are dating. what's wrong with dating at this stage of the season? i mean, in a few months, five months from tomorrow night, they will actually have to stand up and proclaim their support. that's like, you know, announcing that you are going to, you know, get engaged. so i think it's very important to understand that bernie sanders is drawing a lot of first-time voters. a lot of people are interested not just in his ideas, but his enthusiasm. the fact that he wants to start

a political revolution to take big money out of politics, to revolutionize, you know, the way students get their loans and pay them back. he has a real serious plan for the future. i'm not surprised that democrats are taking an extended window shopping view of bernie sanders. >> jeff, do you think donald trump has something to be concerned about? you look at the monmouth university poll showing trump and carson tied in iowa, each with 23%? >> i think you are always concerned. but i think he is doing just fine. there is one more that's snuck in here just before i came in that i saw where he had 37% to 9 for the follow-ups. the point here, i think, is that there really is pattern here with this anti-establishment business. donald trump has tapped into it bigtime. and you know, i saw something on john king's show yesterday. and it's on the cnn website. i found it so striking, i wrote a column for it tomorrow for the

american spectator. cnn's may restin discovered there are establishment types out there preparing a big attack on donald trump after we get through the labor day weekend and they are trying to figure out who it's going to come from and how it is a going to work. basically, i thought what in the world are these people thinking? when you look at the figures, add up donald trump, and ben carson and ted cruz and carly fiorina. you are over 50% n. one poll, you are close to 65%. this is like pouring gasoline on this. a huge mistake. >> amanda, at what point, though, i guess to push back on jeff's point, at what point do the other candidates have to start pushing back on donald trump? i mean, they have got to do something if they want to stay in this thing? >> most of the candidates that have gone hard on trump it has backfired tremendous. rick perry, rand paul tried it.

jeb tried it. this is the wrong move. we've had a huge conflict between the republican party between the grassroots and the establishment. this is continuing to play out. until these typical establishment-like candidates learn they need to pay attention to the fears and concerns and hopes and dreams that grassroots americans have rather than trying to shut it up and ignoring it -- until they learn that lesson the raurn party as a whole will never be successful. >> done a it's interesting to have an establishment candidate suddenly be told by their people oh, you have got to be an outsider now. i mean, that's the exact opposite of what an outsider really s. it proves the point they really are an establishent candidate if they have for poll tested in order to be told to have to be an outsider. >> the so-called outsiders, insurgents, we've seen them on the democrat side i gary hart, jesse jackson, howard dean. barack obama, he did win the

nomination. hillary received more votes but had less designate gats. it's no doubt they are able to attract the votes who want candidates who are not skriptded, who can speak to their hearts as well as their soul and spirits. i think what we have seen this summer and what we may see at the beginning of the fall before voters stand up and declare their support, we might see the polls change once again. remember four years ago -- i never forget, every time i put on the republican button i had to take it off because somebody else took over the lead. this year donald trump is taking over writing the book. it's going to be an interesting book. >> done a jeffrey lord, amanda carpenter, stay with us. i want to get your take on donald trump and his use of twitter against opponents. the big question, is trump going

too far? i think most of his supporters will just say no. later, breaking news in the ambush killing of this man, a texas sheriff's deputy, and the sheriff's claim that rhetoric surroundsing the black lives matter movement could have motivated the suspect. details ahead. ♪ ♪ (vo) you can pass down a subaru forester.

associates and soeshttle spouses. on friday, he took aim at a hillary clinton aide who is mattered to anthony weaner. >> who is uma married to? one of the great sleaze bags of our time. anthony wiener. did you know that. >> anthony wiener of course as you recall is the guy who sexted pictures of his private parts to a lady friend on line. today trump did not led let up. he post was suggesting that aberdeen may have had classified information from hillary clinton's e-mails here's randy indicate. >> donald trump unleashed in 140 characters or less. his tweets are often sarcastic, hateful, nasty. most are directed at his

opponent. jeb bush never uses his last name on his tidesing. is he ashamed of the name bush? a sad situation. go jeb. congrats at lindy graham sc, you just got four points in your home state of sc. far better than zero nationally. you are only 26 points behind me. and after democratic candidate bernie sanners lost control of his microphone to black lives matter protesters, trump tweeted this dig, how is brny sanners going to defend our down country if he can even defend his own microphone? very sad. trump went after the president after the bole scare. i am starting to think there is something seriously wrong with president obama's mental health. why won't he stop the flights? skoe. in another twooed tweet he asked if the president is stupid or arrogant. trump has nearly 4 million followers on twitter. so his tweets hardly go unnoticed. his favorite words when firing off these zingers seem to be

dumb and dopey. he uses the word great a lot, too but mainly about himself and things he likes. trump goes after the media, too. retweeting this after fox news's megyn kelly. the about himmo bow back in town. i hope not for long. and this about anderson cooper, what a waste of time when he puts on stupid talking heads like o'brien, dumb guy with no clue. pundits, too. crowd fire called a totally overrated clown who speaks without knowing facts. and this tweet, one of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits is chris solisa at the fix. more on hates my poll numbers. celebrities are also fair game in trump's twitter verse. trump tweeted this last year with singer katy perry. she must have been drunk when

she married russel brand. brand boldlified back, at real donald trump, are you drunk when you write these tweets or is that on your head making you high? a washington post article wrapped it up this way, your next president, donald trump basically tweets like a 12-year-old. >> donna brazil, jeffrey lord and amanda carpenter join me now. is there a lesson in the way trump uses twitter, a lesson for other candidates. >> it shows donald trump for who he is. he is a bully. he likes to trash talk people. particularly against women he goes for the gutter. his speeches are rallying, same old things. these are things he chooses to say. they are not staff writing for him. this is him, his personal thoughts, i certainly don't

think this is any kinds of language that is stoout suitable for a president. maybe people find it cathartic, this proves he will shake up washington. imagine him in a political debate stage against hillary clinton bringing up monica lewinsky and calling her a bimbo. that's not something we need to see. >> if you look at the times these tweets are sent, 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m. >> right, right. >> he clearly focuses on this stuff an awful lot. to the point where essays about not wanting to run negative ads, i mean, is that -- >> i wrote. >> go ahead. >> i wrote a column about this which i haven't posted, which supposed he was president and once the inaugural was over and the parades and balls, he slips into lincoln's bed and starts to tweet to vladimir putin, vlad

you are a loser. lots of presidents have taken technology to a new level. we know what happened to richard nixon and the tape, and hillary clinton, not a president, is mired in this e-mail business. i think twitter is the wave of the future here. and i think he knows how to use it and he uses it very well, to his advantage. and i think his opponents just have been basically clueless about this, whether they will pick up now i don't know, but there is history with presidents and technology. >> for those who don't like donald trump, though, it's another example of him having incredibly thin skin. i guess the question is, to amanda's point, can a president have such thin skin? i mean, if he's -- i think we are having technical trouble. is donna still there. >> jeff, i think you are the only one left. the others have vanished.

>> he tweets favorable things. >> maybe trump has control over the air ways. >> we balance each other out. can a president -- do you believe he has thin skin? and can a president be somebody who is engaged in these kinds of fights? >> you know, i know that he believes -- he has written about this. i'm not revealing anything here. he has written extensively how you need to challenge -- when people go after you you need to challenge them and stand up. not only for dealing with that person, for sendsing the message to everybody else that you can't be messed with. when you extrapolate that to the political world there is a lot of americans who believe that is the problem in the country. this is why they responded well to ronald reagan. and of course you remember the day he was sworn in the iranians released the hostages. that message is coming through here regardless of all the individual things he may be tweeting. >> jeffrey lord, i can hear

because we should fit into your life. not the other way around. breaking news tonight in the murder of a houston sheriff's deputy and the uproar surrounding it. new information that could shed light on the alleged killer's mental state. friday night, somebody came up behind hairs county sheriff's deputy darren goforth and opened fire with a pistol. the killer emptied the entire clip, 14 rounds, and one already in the chamber into the deputy. tonight the suspect is in custody and more is becoming known about his mental health history. the deputy's wife and two kids

are grieving. o'law enforcement and people across the country are grieving as we. the killer is black, and the deputy is white. this is happening in the backdrop of encounters between blacks and police. it is that rhetoric that the sheriff hickman focused on. >> our system of justice requires law enforcement to be present to protect our community. at any point where the rhetoric ramps up to where calculated cold blooded assassinations happen, this is out of control. we've heard black lives matter. cop's lives matter, too. why don't we drop the qualifier and just say lives matter. ed joins us live.

we've just learned about the suspect's backgrounds. >> in october of 2012, it appears that shanon miles, the 30-year-old accused of capital murder and facing the depth in the murder of the deputy was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the weapon being his hands. back in october of 2012 this. happened in austin, texas. and according to the prosecutor on that case, miles had gotten into an argument at a homeless shelter. apparently he was spending time at the homeless shelter in austin texas. got into an argument and fight with another homeless man there at the shelter over the remote control in the television set in the recreation room. he was charged with aggravated assault. before the case could go to trial he was found mentally incompetent by a psychiatrist. and a judge agreed with that. miles was then sent to a state mental hospital for six months. when he was brought back to travis county to face those criminal charges, the

prosecutors could not finds, we're told, the other homeless man in that case so it couldn't be brought to trial. so obviously, mental health issues playing a significant role in that case. we've also learned tonight here in harris county that prosecutors have issued a subpoena going after the hospital records of another mental hospital here in the houston area for any records pertaining to shannon miles as well. in the documents, the prosecutors say they don't know the exact dates of the treatment. but obviously, prosecutors trying to get their hands on more medical mental health records involving schwanson miles. >> and the d.a. presented evidence in court today. what did they have linking this guy to the killing? >> well, they had several things. really the most detailed account of the way everything unfolded here in the gas station parking lot. the prosecutors say they have ballistic evidence tieing the shell casings found at the murder scene to a weapon that was discovered in the garage of shannon miles' home but a half

mile from the site. and they also detailed as you mentioned in the introduction the gruesome way this attack happened. shannon miles running up behind deputy goforth, had no idea he was being targeted. and according to prosecutors, shannon miles unloaded 15 rounds into the deputy. >> just awful. and he has had a prior record. in fact, he has number a run-ins with police, right? >> yeah, before this aggravated assault in 2012, everything we found dated between 2005 and 2009. and really a left it was misdemeanor situations where it was time served, maybe he would spend a handful of days in jail. other than that, there has been very little information about his background here. we know according to his facebook page he bounced around from a couple different colleges here in the nutrisystem area. but there has been really no statements being made publicly from his family or friends here since the day he was arrested on

saturday afternoon. >> ed, i appreciate it. ed lavendara. the remarks we showed you by sheriff hickman, reaction to them on all sides have turned the tragedy into something beyond that. many appear to be squeedsings this into an already heated debate about police and injustice and race relations. i spoke with sheriff hickman about it earlier this evening. sheriff, before we start. i want to express our condolencenesses on the murder of deputy goforth and our thoughts are with his family and your family throughout the department. first of all, what kinds of a guy was he? what do you want people to know about this deputy? >> what we want the people to know is that the person that we lost was one of the good guys. his wife describes him as easy going. her best friend. and the guy that you actually wanted wearing a badge and the

uniform. he was his 5-year-old son's hero. his daughter can't imagine living without him. >> i understand the suspect has a record that goes back many years. not much of a social media presence. i'm wondering, is there any new evidence pointing to his alleged motive. >> we continue to research that issue. certainly we are interested in any connection the two of them ever had. thus far, we have not found a connection. >> at this point, do you still believe that deputy goforth was solely targeted because of his uniform? >> at this juncture, we find no other motivation other than the fact that he was wearing a uniform, which makes it purely a random kinds of issue. >> over the weekend, you said we've heard black lives matter. all lives matter. well, cops' lives matter, too. and then you went on to say at any point where the rhetoric

ramps up to where the calculated cold blooded assassination of police officers happens, this rhetoric has gotten out of control. to be clear, believe that the black lives matter movement is somehow responsible for deputy goforth's death? >> one can speculate that the rhetoric in our area -- of course we're only a short distance down the road from waller county, where the bland case has elevated attention to those issues to a very high level. so it isn't very far stretch to believe that that kind of rhetoric could influence someone. >> but you have no direct evidence at this point of what was in this alleged killer's mind? >> no, certainly not. >> there has been some criticism of your statement. a texas state representative garn coleman said he thinks your statement was politicizing this death and says it quote shows a lack of understanding of what is occurring in this country when it comes to the singling out of

african-americans. i want you to be able to respond to that. do you think there is any validity to the concerns of those in this black lives matter movement? >> well, i think he may misunderstand my purpose there. there will be people who want to make this a political issue. that's not my interest. i have visited with the spouse this slain deputy. and she very clearly indicated she wants to communicate that we are on target. all lives do matter. and if we have any connection whatsoever with the public, we want to convey that message. >> an organizer with a group called the organization for the black struggle, he also criticized your comments saying that the black lives matter movement has never condoned any violence against police officers, and that if you can't understand why people saying -- why people are saying black lives matter, then that's the problem. i want you to be able to respond to that. >> there will be people that pervert this, twist it for their own purposes.

and to pursue their own agendas. clearly my agenda here is to make sure that we tone down the temperament of all rhetoric when it gets so inflammatory. >> to those who say they will continue to protest in the black lives matter movement, what do you say? is it -- is your concern just the kind of bringing down some of the rhetoric? is it the movement in general? >> i don't think the movement in general is what we are talking about. i think we are talking about extremes. when you start talking about taking people's lives, taking pictures, killing cops on radio talk show, kinds of rhetoric can get out of hand. >> the president of the fraternal order of police has said he believes this should be labeled a hate crime. do you think that that should be the case? >> i think -- if we can demonstrate that he was isolated and selected because he was wearing a uniform, i think that would qualify. >> sheriff hickman, i appreciate

you joining us. again, i'm sorry it's under these circumstances. >> thank you so much. >> you just heard the sheriff's take on the case against the man who allegedly murdered the deputy darren goforth. the question, was he target simply for wearing a law enforcement uniform? is the black lives matter somehow encouraging. some point to this rally. >> pigs in a blachkts! fry them like bacon! .

you heard a harris county sheriff ron hickman before the make say that absent another motive, heated rhetoric from the black lives matter movement may have contributed to the killing of one of his deputy. milwaukee's sheriff went beyond that. after the deputy's murder, he said a war has been dlards on police officers, a war led, i'm quoting here, by high-profile people, one of them coming out of the white house and one of them coming out of the department of justice. then there was this march in st. paul, minnesota. >> pigs in a blanket! fry them like bacon! pigs in a blanket! fry them like bacon! >> marchers there saying pigs in

a blanket, fry them like bacon. that was only one chant that was chanted throughout this process. but a lot of people have been focusing on that. here to talk about all of this, cnn analyst harry how can. also cnn political commentator charles blow, and cnn analyst sunny haase tin. sunny, you heard the sheriff saying all lives matter and that rhetoric coming out of the black lives matter movement may have contributed to the death this deputy? >> i have said from the beginning, the investigation is ongoing. we are at the very beginning of the investigation. and we can't, i think, link the black lives matter movement to this killing at this point. >> and this sheriff, when i actually asked him about that does say, well it's speculation, we have no idea of the motive of this person. >> it's speculative. would and we have the first amendment. people are allowed to protest, to give voice to their frustrations. i will say this, pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon, it's ridiculous, inflammatory,

disgusting. i don't think that that's appropriate. but i don't think it's appropriate to link the two. now that we know that mental illness is something this person, this defendant suffered from, i think the larger conversation, anderson is the conversation i've been trying to bring up over and over and gefr again when it comes to mental health issues and gun control. i calked about it when the two journalists were murdered by someone that's mentally ill. and now we have another incident with somebody who is mentally ill being able to get a gun. when are we going to talk about that instead of hinging these things on race? >> when somebody says all lives matter, you shouldn't say black lives matter, but all lives matter, what do you say? >> again, that is a great concept. i wish that all of america believed that all lives matter. however, what we see is different treatments of different segments of the population, particularly along racial lines in america. which looks like devaluation of specific segments of the population, specifically black

people. and i think that until america says, in its core, that all lives matter, it is appropriate, and in fact, necessary to point out the lives that america seems to value less. >> when you say america, you are specifically speaking about the court system, the system of justice in this country? >> yes, i am adamant that there is this conversation hinging around police and people of color is too narrow, that the police are simply the tip of the sphere and not the sphere itself. that you have to look at the entire system, you know, the state as an actor. and the state becomes us. the state becomes america. and all of america is araid against black people. you look at interactions with police, all the way to the criminal justice system, all the way to how people are sentenced. longer sentencesingsr, all the way to the death penalty itself.

>> he is right, the statistics do support that african-american men in particular are treated differently than white men in our criminal justice system. >> let me bring in harry -- >> how is that so? >> go ahead. >> look at the stats, harry. >> you don't have statistics to actually prove that. yeah, the stats show there are more black men incarcerated. i see that. i know that. that means they are committing crimes. i mean, you are sitting here and listening to charles talk about this, it's like all of white america, all of america is against black america. that's crazy. and that's the problem. >> no, the problem is you putting words like that into my mouth. that statement itself becomes a racist statement. for you to then take america -- >> charles, you just said it. >> wait a minute, i let you speak. you are going to let me speak, harry. when you say america to simply say awful black america is against white america. that is a racist statement faufts itself, harry. and you have to step back from

your perch. >> that's a racist statement, you are the expert on racist statements. >> what i'm looking at are the targets. >> of course, because i disagree with you, i am a racist, right? that's your narrative. >> one at a time. let charles finish. and then harry -- >> i would like for you to do that. that would be the right thing for you to do, harry. when you look at that, when you look at who is the target, and who is treated negatively by the system, which becomes america, that becomes black and brown people. that is just a fact. you can't argue the facts. you can have your opinion. >> no, it's not. >> harry, i want you to be able to respond. do you believe there is a different system of justice, harry, for african-americans in this country? or that they are treated differently in the court system or in the justice system. >> no, i don't. >> come on, harry. >> listen, i was in the system. i was in the system for 25 years. i've never seen. that i mean -- do you know what it takes for somebody to go to jail in the city of new york, no matter what color they are for

christ sakes. >> it happens all the time. it's amazing to to me right, how you can sit there and say -- well, let me ask charles a question. charles, you assume -- how many people that are black in jail how many do you assume are innocent? >> let's back up. let's talk about the streets of new york. let's stop with stop and frisk on the streets of new york. when we look at the numbers on that, the facts on that, is that nine out of ten of the people who are stop and frisked were black or brown. and nine out of ten of those never got a charge. that means they never did anything wrong, right? >> right, but they were probably stopping because there was reasonable suspicion to make a stop. >> i'm sorry, you can't look at that and say that is somehow just a fluke, people just happen to suspect. and when you looked at the number of people who actually were armed, of that group, white people were more likely to be armed than the black people. you know why?

it wasn't because white people are running around in packs with weapons. it was that the officers were more likely to stop white people for a cause and not just because of the color of their skin. >> that's just the facts that. >> those are the facts and the fact that you can't recognize that. >> harry, i want you to be able to respond. >> okay, that's an assumption on your part, charles. >> it's not an assumption. >> the black community -- let me tell you something -- the black community, all right, is where there is most of the crime, let's say in new york city. >> be careful, harry, that is not true. >> chicago -- it is very true. >> law enforcement officers are targeting african-americans in their communities and other -- >>u there is crime in those parts of the city. that is why there is more stops. >> let him finish. go ahead, finish, harry. >> that's why there is more stops in these neighborhoods.

that's where the crime is committed. a police officer will have reasonable suspicion to make a stop. >> we have got to leave it there. it is an important discussion. thank you. los angeles police officers are doing something unprecedented today. doing their jobs wearing body cameras. l.a. is now the largest city to embrace the technology. up next, the troefrsz surrounding them. should place have access to those images while writing incident reports? stop, stop! ♪ he doesn't need your help. until he does. three cylinders, dual overhead cams and 50 horsepower. go bold. go powerful. go gator. get 800 dollars off select gators at a dealer near you.

today, police in los angeles began using body cameras. over the next few months, more than 7,000 cameras will be deployed across the force making l.a. the largest u.s. city to use the technology on a wide scale. the killings of unarmed civilians by police officers have fueled the push to make body cameras mandatory for officers. other large cities including new york are testing the cameras. we've seen how they can be a powerful reality check on officers' accounts of shootings as well as showing people how dangerous officers' jobs are. new controversy over the use of body cameras. miguel marquez has the latest. >> go ahead and take the seat

belt off for me. >> i didn't do nothing. >> go ahead and take your seat belt off. stop, stop! >> reporter: when university of cincinnati police officer ray tensing shot and killed sam due bows, the initial police report claimed the officer was dragged almost run over, officer tensing forced to shoot the driver. and listen to audio of officer tensing justifying the shooting just minutes after the incident. another officer even telling him, stop talking. >> i thought he was going to run me over. i dus charged one round, struck the mail in the head. i thought i was going to get run over, i got my hand in the car. >> stop, stop. >> reporter: but video appears to trikt his account. so much so, officer tensing was fired, now mace facing murder charges. >> get out of the car. >> reporter: another example, sandra bland, where dash cam

video paints a different picture than the arrest report from the trooper. in it, the trooper says the 28-year-old became combative and uncooperative. it omits the trooper tried to make her extinguish her cigarettes. when she refused, it escalated to this. >> i will light you up. get out. ? wow. >> the trooper used as taser as a threat. that, too, left out of his plofrt. after bland was taken away, the trooper is heard on his own body camera giving a different account of the incident by phone to what happen sounds like a supervisor. >> tried to deescalated her and wasn't getting anywhere at all. i tried putting the taser away. i tried talking to her, calmer her down. and that was not working. >> reporter: while video often confirms or supports an officer's account nationwide in incident after incident, either in body or dashboard or cell phone cameras have at times told

a different story than the official line. the country's largest police force, nypd, under court order is now testing body cameras. 54 officers voluntarily using them n. of and the program will soon expand to 1,000 officers. eventually, body cameras for all 35,000 nypd officers could become standard issues. but the rules about usage are evolving. there is one sticking point in particular. should officers be allowed to review their own video before filling out police reports? >> if you allow officers to look at the video from the body camera in advance of getting their statement, that might possibly taint what the officer tells the investigator. >> reporter: phil yor, the recently named inspector general for the nypd issued a report on body camera policy, when they should be turned on, how data will be saved and whether cops will have access the their own videos. something the police

commissioner here says they should. >> i'm not intending to play cameras to play a game of gotcha with the cops. the idea of several months after an incident seeing if you can recall what transpired moment 20 moment on a video -- it doesn't work that way. >> reporter: it is a sensitive point here in the arrest and eventual death of eric garner who was selling untaxed cigarettes. nypd reports left out critical details that cell phone video captured. specifically the shock hold and that garner called out for help, uttering 11 times -- >> i can't breathe, i can't breathe. >> reporter: before falling unconscious. >> policy that allows officers to look at videos in advance of writing a report or giving their statement on a police complaint, that's not the sort of thing that's going to build trust in the police. >> reporter: policy for nypy's federally mandated program of

1,000 officers will be monitored by a court appointed monitor next year. >> that does it for "ac 360" our coverage continues from cnn in atlanta next. ♪
