10:01 am
welcome to "america's news headquarters" from washington. >> reporter: and i'm leland vittert outside baltimore city hall. a city returning to normal, or as normal as a city can be with the national guard still guarding much of this city. in the past couple hours, we have learned the mayor has lifted the 10:00 p.m. curfew so folks will be free to once again hit the streets all night long. we will see how that goes. also today, the announcement that that mall that was looted so viciously on monday as the police were ordered to watch it happen has reopened. the mayor a couple minutes ago spoke about what that means. >> what we saw over the past few days is not just the resiliency of our city but also our communities coming together. we want to heal our city. we know we have challenges in baltimore. we know that there's work to be done. i'm very focused. i think i'm going to continue to
10:02 am
be focused on rebuilding my city. >> reporter: you might note that she did not comment on reports that she had ordered her police officers to stand down over the past couple of days. the six police officers charged in freddie gray's death are out on bail this sunday morning. they are six officers, three black, three white five men one woman. there is already discussions about whether they have been overcharged. one charged with second-degree depraved heart murder. claims that the prosecutor is playing politics also conflict of interest. we want to bring in bob woodson. what's your response to the mayor's leadership other the past week? >> well, i think if the mobs were threatening the inner harbor there would have been no standdown order. but it speaks volumes about the attitudes towards low-income black neighborhoods that such mayhem was permitted to occur.
10:03 am
speaks volumes about how we treat low-income black neighborhoods and how we treat other neighborhoods. >> reporter: so much has been made about race here in the city of baltimore, but the entire leadership of baltimore is race. is this about race or is this about income? >> i think it's about income. it's very interesting. 50 years ago i was involved in interveneing in a riot in west chester, pennsylvania. real leadership intervenes before the rocks are thrown to try to prevent them not afterwards. but the complaints that existed among low income blacks then, many of the people that suffered and sacrificed most in the struggle for civil rights, didn't benefit from the change. same problems now. >> reporter: here yesterday, we witnessed a rally with thousands of people. a lot of folks spoke. take a listen to what one of them had to say. >> i'm talking about the ones with the rocks.
10:04 am
i'm talking about the ones, them high schoolers that set it off on monday. these are the greatest youth of our generation. we love these youth. >> reporter: with friends like that you hardly need enemies. >> what's going to happen unfortunately poor blacks of are the victims of people like this. it's going to result in police nullifyication nullification. cincinnati went through the same thing. white police well, if i'm going to be charged with racism, i'm not going to be aggressive in patrolling them. the murder rate soared in low income black neighborhoods. these leaders don't live there and have to suffer the consequence. >> reporter: so you're saying they're throwing the fire balls and then the police stand back and say fine -- >> it will not be the so-called leaders who have to suffer the consequence. >> reporter: who suffers?
10:05 am
>> low income black people. the solution is go among those suffering the problems and support those grass roots leaders. hundreds of people came forward and cooked food for the people -- >> reporter: we saw -- >> tanya graham -- >> reporter: you said that tanya graham. the good news was the picture of the mother in the yellow dress who came out. she came out and stopped her son from throwing rocks. there's the woman beating her son and telling him to go home. why don't we have more mothers like that? >> there are thousands of mothers like that. but the qualities that make them effect makes them invisible. 70% of our poverty money goes to professionals who parachute programs -- >> reporter: they have a vested interest -- >> in other words we have created a commodity out of poor people. what we do at the center we go
10:06 am
in these neighborhoods. they are the ones where the money should be spent. they are the ones who should be given support so they can develop solutions inside that speak to the character restoration. there's a cultural crisis not a race crisis not a class crisis. it's a cultural crisis that can only be solved by people like this taking responsibility for themselves. >> reporter: if only there were more mothers like that coming out. we appreciate your time sir. when we return to baltimore, we will have more including talking to somebody on the ground monday monday an iraq war veteran who says his time here monday reminded him of his time in war. we'll ask why and his thoughts on the police being ordered to stand down as well. >> thank you so much. we'll get back to you shortly. our next guest was a rising star within the baltimore police department. joe krystal was quickly promoted. but that all changed when he
10:07 am
went to his supervisors to report a case of abuse at the hands of his fellow officers. he says a handcuffed suspect was beat so badly he was left with a broken ankle. two officers were convicted in that case. he says the retaliation he suffered was so severe that he ultimately left. then late last year he filed a lawsuit against his former employer. that's still pending. the baltimore city police have told other news organizations that they can't comment on pending litigation. joe, thank you for coming in. >> my pleasure. >> and sharing your story. i know it's been a roller coaster for you. you were on the fast track. people across the board praising your work. tell me about when you witnessed this incident, you were really nervous about what to do about it. when you went to your supervisor to report it, how did they react? >> they told me if i snitched, my career would be done. keep my mouth shut. >> but you decided to proceed
10:08 am
anyway? >> yes, ma'am. >> what was that process like for you? you knew there would be some retaliation. did it turn out to be what you expected? >> no, not at all. i thought it was going to be somewhat kpajexaggerated. it just happened so quick and didn't stop. >> you had responded to the scene. the suspect had been taken away in one of these transport vehicles. at some point, there was a discussion about bringing him back to the scene. an officer took him out of that wagon, that's where the beating happened. and obviously the man was left with injuries. these two officers have been convicted. but you say you were punished for your role in trying to expose what was happening and it went to the highest levels. i know you said you talk with the police officer commissioner at one point. what kind of assurances did you get with him? >> first, i met with the deputy commissioner. he told me they were going to get to the bottom of it in 2012.
10:09 am
they never took a statement until 2014 after the media got involved. the commissioner told me we're going to do an investigation. still nothing's been done. they tried to investigate me for basically nothing. >> okay. i want to get back to that point. but i want to ask you about as you continued as a detective on the force. there were times that you say you were in scary situations. you were trying to make an arrest. you called for backup. what happened? >> two separate times, actually right near the cvs that burned down. one time i called for a unit to come help me, nobody showed up. i even gave them directions. another time i called for a full pursuit. nobody showed up. >> you say there was also a dead animal left on your car. you say you were demoted, taken off of assignments. do you believe that was all connected to you trying to report the abuse you witnessed? >> without a shadow of a doubt.
10:10 am
those officers -- the one sergeant was allowed to retire with full benefits. >> throughout this time, your father says that you and he and other family members tried to get some help. they went to representative cummings office, to the fbi, to the doj. was any of that helpful? did anyone respond? >> i didn't speak to them. my father did. from what he told me no, nobody did. >> the conviction two officers were convicted. during this time you say you were investigated the baltimore police have said there was an investigation about you using a squad car to take your wife somewhere or for personal business. tell us what the allegation was there. >> if you actually look at the paperwork there was was no allegation. there was no order in place at the time saying there was any parameters issued for the vehicle. it was issued to me as a take home vehicle. i was giving my wife a ride back as they were changing my
10:11 am
schedule around and the accident occurred. i was quickly brought up on charges. >> i've seen the proposed settlement agreement. baltimore police came to you and said we'll drop this internal investigation about you using the squad car, you have to resign and promise not to talk about the allegations you've made gents the department. you said no dice and decided to resooip sine on your own, why? >> it showed they weren't interested in having integrity in the department or accountability. it was just horrible that it happened to me and my family and i never wanted to see anybody go through that. after i designed on september 3rd they actually published a new general order on september 4th stating that what i did would have then been out of general order. >> about the use of the car. you have said in the conversations about this you don't think this is an issue about race. the incident you say you witnessed, the officer was
10:12 am
black, the suspect was also black. what do you think is the issue within the police department? >> like i said i'm not an african-american individual from baltimore, but i've never heard of anybody doing anything racially motivated. i think it's an accountability issue and what they learned from the top. if you see anything bad keep your mouth shut. it sends a message that that stuff is okay. we want you, we don't want people that report corruption. that comes from the top. he has a history of this from his time in long beach, california. >> let me ask you about the situation with freddie gray. were you surprised at all to hear about the allegations, and these officers are innocent until proven guilty. the state's attorney felt like there was enough to level the charges against the individuals. were you surprised about securing the individual,
10:13 am
physically mistreating an individual based on your experience at the department? >> no, not at all. my incident is somewhat similar. you have an individual being taken out of a wagon. i thought the best thing would be to put cameras in the backs of the wagon. i don't know why somebody had to lose their life. it wasn't surprising ma'am. >> you said too you feel like there are a lot of great men and women on the police force. you think there are just a few bad apples that are essentially causing the trouble. >> that's correct. a lot of the officers there are great. some of the officers there didn't do anything to me. i think it's the example set at the top and it trickles down. the citizens never did anything to me. i came out yesterday just to help out at one of the churches and give back to the citizens. the sit accepts were always good to me. it was the commissioner and some of the people above. >> what do you think the messages now to officers still working in baltimore, somebody
10:14 am
in your situation stepping up about what they've seen, what do you think is the message they've gotten? >> you can tell by the other allegations that have happened. it's simple. keep your mouth shut or you'll lose your career. i've had officers tell me they're scared to talk about things because they don't want to end up like me. >> we will keep an eye on your litigation as it continues. please keep us updated. we did reach out to the police department for their side of the story. they say they cannot comment on pending litigation. former baltimore detective, now offer joe crystal. a new york city police officer in critical but stable condition after being shot in the head by an armed suspect. he was in plain clothes when they spotted a man they suspected was carrying a gun. when they tried to stop and question that suspect, he then pulled a gun from his waistband and started firing.
10:15 am
>> i want to commend the men and women of the new york city police department who responded to the shooting scene and immediately, one remove the officer from that scene to the hospital and all likelihood potentially saving the officer's life. >> the 35-year-old was picked up and arrested within hours of the shooting. so far a weapon has not been recovered. to politics now. republican 2016 field a about to double in size. ben carson and mike huckabee set to announce in the next few days. we're live today with details. >> two expected to join the race for the white house tomorrow. ben carson who grew up in detroit will return there and hold a series of events. he talked about what's expected to be a crowded gop field and previewed his plans on fox and friends. >> i am going to make an announcement about whether i'm going to run for president and why. there's no question that our nation is in very dire straits.
10:16 am
the whole leadership issue is lacking. i'm very glad there are a lot of people who are running because the people will get an opportunity to really hear a variety of solutions and make a wise choice. >> former hewlett-packard ceo will also be making her announcement tomorrow morning. then she's planing to take questions during a live online town hall during the afternoon. she's been tough on hillary clinton's record and you can expect that to continue. she has a new book on tuesday and will be in iowa on thursday. then on tuesday, former governor mike huckabee will make his announcement in his hometown of hope arkansas. you can expect him to note that he won in bill clinton's arkansas to become governor and make the case he's the person to take on the clinton machine this time. he won eight states in 2008 but eventually could not raise enough money to win. you can expect all three to make
10:17 am
the case that they are washington outsiders joining a race which includes three current gop senators in ted cruz rand paul and marco rubio. that begins in the next couple of days. >> it's busy. thank you so much. still to come, now that thousands more missing lo is lerner e-mails have surfaced what happens next? we're going to talk to the head of an organization that was targeted by the irs. plus, some familiar names take top honors at the kentucky derby. and later, we've heard the line about getting skin in the game. this guy took it a little bit too literally. we will be right back.

after months of being told that former irs official lerner's e-mails have been lost forever, thousands of them have continued to surface. the inspector general investigating the agency found thousands of e-mails belonging to lerner. true to vote a nonprofit filed
10:22 am
suit against the irs after waiting three years for the agency to process its application. the president of that group joins us now. where do things stand for you individually with true the vote? >> we sued the irs a year or so ago now. we are in the process of appealing a decision that came out last summer when the federal courts believed that the irs ree-mails were not recoverable. we now know with all of america that that simply wasn't true. they're going to continue to bob and weave and hope that the american people will forget and we won't. >> well, now we have batches of things that keep turning up. things that are discovered. you have experts that you've offered to have testify to come help in congress to do something saying there is a way to get these e-mails back. and the fact they keep showing up proves that. so where do you think the court will come down on that knowing
10:23 am
that it's not just your opinion, this is hard evidence? >> i don't know where the court's going to come down on it. honestly i don't trust much of anything the government does from any of its branches at this point. i think the people we can trust are the people themselves. turn the e-mails over to the american people. they're public records. we have the right. they have the responsibility to release them. if they release them there have been thousands of people that have come forward to us indicating that they're willing to help mine the data enter it, do whatever it takes to get to answers. >> they said, we welcome the inspector general's recovery of these e-mails. it will help resolve remaining questions and dispel uncertainties around the e-mails. your reaction? >> it's a quote. that's the action. we've been waiting for years. enough with the talking.
10:24 am
release the e-mails, release them to the people and let's see how deep this coverup really goes. >> the irs seems to suggest that maybe what we're finding in the e-mails will actually be of benefit to them in some way, dispelling what they call unknown items, allegations potentially. so if there is no smoking gun in these e-mails, do you think that those who oppose this inquiry are going to say, there's nothing there and groups like yours should just be silent and let it go? >> well, we know that there is there there. i know what i experienced at the hands of this government for years on end. we have episode after episode of the irs coming forward and lying. how it is that we just sort of roll past these things now over years of a slow play, i really don't care whether thinks it's going
10:25 am
to be of benefit to them. what i'm concerned about is the weaponization of the irs against the american people. the people have a right to the e-mails, release the e-mails and let's get to the bottom of it once and for all. it's time for answers. it's time for prosecutions and it's time to see a perp walk because what happened is not okay. >> the inspector general continues to be on this case. keep us updated. we know there are a number of lawsuits on going. maybe you'll get the answers you're looking for. thank you. >> thanks. >> well, it was a boxing fight five years in the making. maift mayweather defeated pacquiao taking home a paycheck of $100 million. more than 16,000 people gathered to watch the battle in person. it's considered the highest

10:32 am
home in the next couple of days. also saying that the curfew tonight has been lifted in this city that turned lawless on monday. an incredible night of carjackings that were then smashed into each other as demolition derby came to the streets of baltimore there. looting was rampant. one of the men watching it all was a photographer on assignment from the daily mail. you said i've been to iraq and it looks a little bit like that. did you ever think you would see it in america? >> it did look like that. i never would have thought i'd see that on the streets of baltimore. neighbors sticking their heads out and seeing the violence going on. >> reporter: one of the pictures that you took really struck me because it was from behind the
10:33 am
police lines and it showed this line of police officers just watching this war unfold in front of them and basically doing nothing. >> well, i think they were really sent in without what they needed to do the job. if you send those guys down there and -- helmets and uniforms to -- >> reporter: we know the mayor ordered them not to wear a lot of the protective gear. >> they held the line well. they did what they did, what they had to do. they got the emergency services to protect the people in the neighborhood as best they could. >> reporter: one thing i think is interesting that is available to a photo journalist sometimes not to a reporter to able to talk to the rank and file. you can overhear things sometimes. i know you have a lot of friend in the baltimore police department. give us a sense of how they're feeling today. >> i think a lot of them felt initially and perhaps now
10:34 am
abandoned by their leadership. they know their job is tough. they're happy to go and protect the communities they've been asked to served. and rightfully so they expect to have what they need from their leadership. >> reporter: what has been the response to the arrest of six of their own? there's a lot of discussion that the prosecutor here is playing politician rather than law enforcement officer. do you get that feeling as well? >> i can't speak to the politics of the situation. i think -- >> reporter: i'm wondering what the police are saying to you. >> i think most police would be hesitant to talk about the politics. they're just here to do their job. it does make their job more difficult when situations like this come up. i think most of them are continue to stand their post and protect the citizens of the city the best they can. >> reporter: they've certainly done yeoman's work as we've seen out there. how is moreale you think?
10:35 am
>> they understand the job. and they know there are difficult jobs. if given the opportunity, they're going to continue to do their job. >> reporter: brian, on assignment from the daily mail. i think you deserve a day off. appreciate your time. back to you. >> great interview there. great information. someone right there in the middle of it all, as leland has been all week too. less than a day after the arrival of the newest royal baby girl the guessing game has begun for a proper name. they appeared to a throng of well-wishers yesterday. we could hear as early as today the name they picked for the fourth in line for the british throne. the world awakened to happy head lines announcing her birth. they're expected to spend several days at their london home before heading to their estate north of london.

ill can go the religious minority group. there are at least three americans being held in iran, another missing for years. but should demanding their release be tied to the current negotiations over iran's nuclear program? some advocates argue it's the perfect leverage, but others say the men's lives should not be used as a bargaining chip. i spoke with congressman dan killdy about his fight to bring them home. >> i have offered a resolution which is gaining bipartisan support that very simply calls upon iran to release these americans, aside from the nuclear negotiation, separate and apart from those discussions. these americans are innocent and they shouldn't be traded in exchange for any concessions at the negotiating table. our resolution would simply say if iran chooses to try to engage
10:42 am
in the fwloebl community as a legitimate partner, they cannot hold political prisoners. >> what kind of pressure can be put on them to motivate them to comply? >> well, i think obviously the world opinion has to weigh in. now maybe not the same as it would in some other places. but iran does at least have relationships beyond their own borders. and i think what we need to do is make sure they understand the world is watching. and particularly democrats and republicans together in congress. we don't agree on a lot of things but we agree on this. and despite the fact that we may even have different views on the nuclear negotiation, we don't have different views on this one question of whether they should be able to hold in this case of my constituent, hold him prisoner simply because he is of iranian decent and served in the u.s. military. that's just too much for us to
10:43 am
take and they need to understand that. >> can you tell us anything about his conditions? >> he's a tough guy. he's a marine. but he's been there three and a half alm now. it's wearing on him. i know his family is very concerned about him. i talk to them every week. he feels like a member of my own family now because we've been working on this case so long. it's hard. it's just -- the family needs to understand that their country stands with them and amir needs to hear that his country stands with him. that's where he gets his strength and that's why we're doing what we're doing. >> as these discussions are ongoing over the nuclear program, happening on many different levels and through different officials, do you think though that there is a way to use the leverage that would be appropriate to say, if we are going to treat you as a member of the international community, treated as a legitimate national power, you do have to play fair
10:44 am
over these americans you're holding, and we're not going to progress further on the things you want to talk about until we get them back? >> i think they need to understand that. that the way the world views them whether it's nuclear negotiations or their capabilities or other economic engagement that they want to pursue that they will be viewed through this lens that they will be considered a legitimate or illegitimate member based on how they behave when it comes to these americans. amir says he doesn't want to be traded for concessions at the bargaining table. i think it is legitimate for us to say if this agreement or any other engagement with iran is to be accepted on face value, they have to stop this behavior. they cannot stand outside the world and hold political prisoners. >> as you noted, it's always good to see something happening
10:45 am
