protected expression, and made unconstitutional stops, searches, and arrests--especially of african americans. one man was stopped 30 times in less than 4 years with none of the stops resulting in a citation or a criminal charge. the review looked at six years of data and conversations with groups all across baltimore, finding deficiencies in police training...policies... supervision and accountability. we know that our citiziens are outraged. baltimore's police commissioner says there's no tolerance for officers who are racist, sexist, discriminatory or biased...and promis baltimore's mayor estimates it could cost 5 to ten million dollars a year. the findings are challenging to hear, but let me be clear, i never sugar-coat our problems. the doj will be talking with the community and law enforcement about potential reforms... looking to rebuild a trust it says baltimore police broke. i'm emily schmidt, reporting.

"yeah, definiely. i was just kind of nervous about coming at all or which rides we'd go on just .. i don't know, being a littl hesitant i guess. " "some people take it

come because of the event." the water slide is named "verruckt" - which is german for insane. at least two people who rode it in the past say shoulder straps snapped or popped off during the time they rode it. no one was injured when a small plane flipped on a runway at san diego area airport. the pilot walked away unscathed. the aircraft he was flying in flipped over at the montgomery field in san diego. according to witnesses... the pilot was trying to land when the the pilot received no medical attention and was able to get out of the cessna without help from emergency crews. police to the west are now using drones to fight crime. three officers in modesto, california are behind the operations of a pilot program that's put these crime fighting vehicles in the sky. in black and white paint, the department's logo covers this unmanned aerial vehicle or uav.... that was launched in april. it's already being used to check out crime scenes and even chase after

mullins says: 'if i was a criminal in the city of modesto, i would not want these flying above me while im running from the police or committing crime.' there are some limitations to the uavs. for instance they will not fly higher than 400 feet and can only go up for about 25 minutes at a time. the more successful the program, the more likely they will be to add to the drone's fleet. there's new evidence the first americans migrated south from alaska via the pacific coast - rather than a route hundreds along the rocky mountains. the colonization of the americas began after people arrived from siberia - crossing an ancient land bridge into alaska. huge ice sheets largely blocked the way south. but a gap in western canada was long thought to provide an ice- free corridor for migration into the continent. however - other research suggested that pathway appeared too late to account for early american settlements. that left the pacific coast route - as an alernative with
