and brian bates is out videotaping, as usual.e sees a truck pick up a woman he knows to be a prostitute. so he starts rolling. >> no big deal. like every other case, i'll follow it and see where they go. well, the first thing that caught me odd was they went to a church parking lot. i get out of my car. first thing i do is i record the car's tag number, and i call 911 because they've moved to the back of the truck. >> police arrive on the scene quickly, within a couple of minutes, and ordered those two out of the truck. >> the john is getting out. very large, black male. he's getting out. and something odd happened at that point. the police officer did something i've never seen an officer do. he had his gun drawn. but he approached the man, literally putting it inches from his head. and says, "i'm going to f'ing shoot you right in the head." >> brian stands just feet away, keeping his camera trained on the action and watches as that officer gets more and more physical with the john. >> don't open your mouth! >> down to the ground

one supervisor said when bates was confronted by overstepping his training and authority, bates reportedly well i can do it and if you don't like it you can talk to sheriff glants. those training concerns have resurfaced in the aftermath of his shooting death of eric harris the suspect in an undercover lawsuit sting who fled authorities. bates said he killed harris by accident. believing he was using his taser when in reality he fired his gun. the attorney for harris' family said bates wasn't qualified to be on the force but received preferential treatment because he was a friend of the sheriff. at a contentious news conference on monday the sheriff admitted he and bates have a friendship back 25 years. >> i was referred to mr. bates and he bam my insurance agent and insured my vehicles in my home for a lot of years. >> and the two have gone on vacation together and bates has donated car and equipment to the sheriff's office. and the sheriff recalled the conclusions very differently. >> i believe that they found there was no special treatment. >> in fact the review found just the opposite.

also nearby 70-year-old bob bates, bates is heard warning that he's going to use a taser. but instead of a crackle of a taser, a gunshot is heard. bates apologizes. >> shot him, i'm sorry. >> reporter: a dying harris claims he's losing his breath, and here's this in response. >> -- your breath. >> reporter: the district attorney decided to charge bates with manslaughter. >> there's no way an officer can get this confused for this. >> mr. bates is a former tulsa police officer. he's highly trained. hundred us of hours of training. he's probably one of the more trained reserve officers in the entire place. >> reporter: bates' attorney was asked about his client's donations to the sheriff's department. >> the fact that he's been benevolent towards the sheriff's department that has given to the city. and we have a lot of great citizens of tulsa that have given to the police department. that's not to be criticized or belittled. >> reporter: harris' brother said bates offered to make things right. >> we wouldn't be here now getting justice for my brother. >> reporter: andre harr

we ask you based on that and what we heard from bates in his interview, if robert bates interview helpst of you responded when we post had the question. overwhelming 92% said no that interview did not help his case. a small 8% says yes it actually does. here's where we stand with other demographics. when it comes to gender, this is our real time results when it comes to gender. as far as females, the majority since the 140 said pretty much yes. some in the last minute skewing more toward neutral and no. more females responding. urge you to get more votes out there. if you change your views, come back and vote again. >> thanks so much. we want to bring an msnbc legal analyst and also the host of judge faith. faith, it's great to have you here. >> hi thomas. >> you've seen the interview. what do you think are the most important facts we learned from bates and the interview with matt? >> we got to see his point of view hear his perspective about what happened and what he thought about being there. it was interesting because in watching the interview, it was clear to me this is not someone

bates was 73 years old. the victim's family says they don't believe it was reasonable for a 73-year-old to be involved in this type of work to be wielding a weapon. isn't this a fair question as to whether bates was too old to have that gun on the streets? >> you know i think what you really have to do is look at people on an individual basis. i know in the last couple months, i have seen two news stories where police officers that were in their 80s retired. i think san francisco officer was 81 obviously, was not out in the field. but the pension aspect of it i mean all of this time is donated. that has nothing to do with it. this has to do with bob bates wanting to be a part of this community and do something good. and that's what his intention has always been. does being a reserve prohibit you from donating to a sheriff's campaign fund? they have known each other for years and years. but the bottom line is he had been doing this role with the task force for quite some time. and if you'll talk to any squad

sheriff's family said that bates is a long time friend but tells the world that bates did not receive special treatment because of his donations. danielle nottingham has more. >> reporter: the last moment of eric harris' life were captured on police video. tulsa county sheriff's deputies say he was the target of a sting operation and was trying to sell a gun to undercover agents. >> it's a luger. >> a luger? german luger. >> reporter: an office wearing camera equipped glasses joined the chase and tackled harris. also nearby 73-year-old reserve deputy bob bates. bates is heard warning that he's going to use a taser. but instead of a crackle of a taser, a gunshot is heard. bates apologizes. >> shot him, i'm sorry. >> reporter: a dying harris complains he's losing his breath and hears this in response. >> -- your breath. >> reporter: the district attorney decided to charge bates with manslaughter. >> there's no way an officer can get this confused for this. >> mr. bates is a former tulsa police officer. he's highly trained. hundreds of hours of training. he's probably one of the more tra

bates. through our administrative process, we will review what those officers did and take some administrative action. also want to tell you that this morning i got a call from jim finch. he's the special agent in charge of the state of oklahoma. he told me the fbi has completed their investigation and they found no wrongdoing at the sheriff's office and of course they look at civil rights violations. if you have any questions about that investigation, i would refer you to mr. finch or rich davis who is the local supervisor for the fbi. i want you to know that deputies have been reassigned for their own safety. there's been some threats made against them and their families. they have a family and kids and i'm very concerned about their safety. they've been reassigned and they haven't been suspended. we'll take action on that once some of the court cases are resolved with mr. bates. this office reviews all of its policies on a monthly basis taking each chapter in our records systems and looki

i mean, like he's just cleaning up the streets. >> bates has undergone extensive training and bates himself says in that statement to investigators that he's assisted the violent crimes task force at least 100 other times. >> no matter how you cut it up, deputy bates met all the criteria on the counsel of law enforcement training to be in the role he was in. >> could he have confused his two weapons? the family's attorney showed us what they looked like. he questions how bates could have mistaken the gun for the bright yellow taser strapped to his chest. >> they don't function the same, they don't feel the same. we asked bates attorney this question. bates experienced a if a dmom none called slip and capture. >> which means your intended behavior slips off track and is captured by another behavior that might be more well rehearsed or motorized internally than your initial intention. so what ends up happening is, you do the opposite of what you intended. >> ed lavandera joins us now from tulsa. i've never heard of this slip and capture, you've been in touch with bates' attorney since his cli

bates, let me ask you do this. would you stand up for me for one second and show me where on your body when you are in your uniform you keep your taser and where you keep your weapon your revolver. can you stand up and show me? >> sure you bet. my taser is right here on the front tucked in a protective vest. my gun itself is on my side normally to the rear. >> people are going to look at that mr. bates and say how could you make this mistake? how could you think you were going for your taser on your chest tucked into that vest and accidentally pull your weapon? >> well let me say this has happened a number of times around the country. i have read about it in the past. i thought to myself after reading several cases i don't understand how this can happen you must believe me it can happen to anyone. >> you yelled "taser taser." you mentioned the other deputy ducked and cleared so you could use your taser and then you heard that gunshot. what were you thinking when you heard the shot? >> oh, my god, what has happened?

bates. >> when we talk about special treatment. don't know whether we are talking about assignment or his ability to function as a reserve deputy. i think it has been clearly established by looking at the governing law enforcement body here in oklahoma, that by virtue of his past experience as a police officer, a sworn officer for the city of tulsa that he was grandfathered in, and so that was legal. he had a legal right to be where he was on the day of the shooting. of course, the other aspect of this, it was five years ago, and it is so far removed from the date of the incident i don't see the proximate causation as to the event that brought us here. >> the relevant is the narrative being built by people inside the apartment and the special treatment connected to the relationship that is decades long with the sheriff there. he allegedly said he can do what he wants and if you have a problem with it you can talk to the sheriff there, and i am paraphrasin paraphrasing. let's talk about the sergeant that attributed that to the deput

>> this idea of slip and capture is not only robert bates' attorney saying it but robert bates in theriff's get here in tulsa, this is an excusic homicide given that he was acting within his rights as a reserve deputy. the attorney says it's an accident of misfortune and he should not have been charged. robert bates has the support of the superiors in the leadership at the sheriff's department here in actual sarks anderson. >> who we should point out he's friends with. the chief of police there, and has donated a lot of money over the years to this department. the tape of the incident ends shortly after you hear one officer saying f your breath using an expletive to the guy who was just shot. do we know what happens after the tape stops? >> we do know that he was on the ground for several more minutes waiting for ambulances and paramedics to arrive on the scene. shortly after that that video cuts off. we asked about that and they say that the battery in the camera captured the takedown of eric harris we're told by sheriff's officials here that the battery they believe ran out and that

bates and say how could you make this mistake? how could you think you were going for your taser on your chest, tucked into the vest and accidentally pull your weapon? >> well let me say this has happened a number of times around the country. i have read about it in the past. i thought to myself after reading several cases, i don't understand how this can happen. you must believe me. it can happen to anyone. >> you yelled taser, taser, you mentioned the other deputy ducked and cleared so you could use your taser and then you heard that gunshot. what were you thinking when you heard the shot? >> oh, my god. what has happened. the laser light is the same on each weapon. i saw the light and i squeezed the trigger and then realized that i dropped the gun. this was not an intentional thing, i had no desire to ever take anyone's life. >> you can be heard on that tape saying i shot him, i'm sorry and there is a lot of emotion in your voice. what was the emotion? was it sorrow was it shock, was it fear for the repercussions of what you ha

cbs news has obtained bates' training record since he joined the reserve program in 2008. the documents show he had over 400 hours of law enforcement training, but sources close to t the sheriff's office today told cbs news some of those documentsal were falsified. they claim at least three officers were pressured by their supervisor to change bates' records to show he received training he had never taken, and that two were transferred to less desirable positions when they refused. a sheriff's office spokesman today had no comment on the allegations, saying, "we do not respond to rumors." the documents also show bates also last qualified to carry a department-issued glock in april of last year, but those records do not include law enforcement certification to carry the .357 revolver he used in the harriss shooting. on a radio show earlier this week, sheriff stanley glanz said there was a problem with the office's record keeping. >> reporter: bates said he received training from the maricopa county sheriff in arizona, but a spokesperson for the sheriff's department there to

bates' apology. however, the apology from mr. bates isn't going to bring eric back.t this family is seeking and what they've been seeking all week and over the last several weeks is just that the truth come out. >> and when you say the truth, there's several levels of this. and one of the levels is was he qualified to be on the streets? he says in this interview and he said it -- his lawyer said this to me last night, very aggressively making the case that all his records are accurate they're in record that he was completely qualified to be there. but you say that's not the case. >> it's not just me saying that that's not the case. it's five credible sources that i believe work still within the sheriff's department. and with respect to mr. brewster's statement regarding the lack of credibility of the affidavit, i mean his point is that, look mr. critterdon is in jail on a homicide charge, so he can't be believed. well mr. bates is also charged with a homicide. is he saying that we can't listen to what mr. bates is saying because he's got a homicide charge? >> hmm. it

bates lacked proper training and if bates were qualified were falsified.e publication is standing by the reporter. the sheriff's office continues to deny that. they say bates took training classes in late 2013. we asked bates' attorney scott wood for an explanation. he said he could have been trying to clam in -- cram in the classes before certification. we have not able to authenticate the documents and we are in the process of requesting some of these records from the tulsa county's sheriff's office. they say they are unable to provide them as they are part of an ongoing investigation. he read out to the council of law enforcement and training and oversees the training of their state officers and, at this point, they cannot provide those documents. either bates would have to sign off on it or a court order would have to be required. joe? >> that's missing documents. there are some missing documents here that we don't know where they are? >> reporter: that's one of the other big questions here, too. in fact, bates' attorney was the very first one to admit

. >> 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 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

bates says he thought he was using his taser. since then, questions have been raised about his qualifications. the sheriff's office has insisted bates was well trained,tr but an internal review by the sheriff's office in 2009 concluded bates received specialre treatment, that supervisor pressured training officers togi give bates credit for training he never received. the report said when other deputies voiced concern, bates told them go see the sheriff if anyone had an issue. sheriff stanley glanz has been friends with bates for more than 25 years. m bates even served as chairman of glanz' reelection campaign in 2012 and was his number one n campaign donor. late this afternoon, the tulsa county district attorneynz stephen kunzweiler, issued a statement saying, "i am highly concerned about recent h allegations that have surfaced and i have been in contact with independent law enforcement agencies regarding further investigation into these matters." we just received this statement from the tulsa county sheriff's office. scott, it

bates could be heard yelling "taser!" just before a shot was fired. ( gunshot ) bates says he thought he pulledd his taser but fired his personal .357 revolver instead. immediately afterwards he apologized. bates last worked as a full-time officer in the tulsa police department from 1964-1965. he became a reserve sheriff's deputy in 2008 and was reserve deputy of the year in 2011. he's a retired insurance executive who donated generously to the department. in the last seven years, he's given five vehicles, a surveillance radio, and a $5,000 forensic camera. he's been friends with sheriff stanley glanz for 50 years serving as chairman of the sheriff's 2012 reelection campaign and donating $2500, more than anyone else. the victim's family's attorney dan smolen, says he's concerned about that relationship. >> it's the idea of purchasing one, the idea of pay to play. he, obviously, mr. bates, had this desire to be out in the field. he's got great financial wealth. he gets to do what he wants to do, apparently. >> reporter: ac

bates at that time. vehicles and my home for a lot of years. i think that's probably been 25 years ago when i first met bob. >> reporter: sheriff, is it fair to say that your office did a poor job of keeping records regarding bates' training? >> yeah i'm not sure how to answer that. we keep records, and those are placed in his personnel file. i think he keeps his own personal records and he's provided a lot of them to the press. >> reporter: but was it a poor job on the part of your office to not have all the records? >> it could have been. last year we went to the legislature and got a law passed that allows us to destroy records after five years, and so a lot of those older records were destroyed. >> reporter: for the record as far as you know were any of his training records falsified? >> no, sir, not that i'm aware of. and let me tell you that all of the policies and procedures in this office are signed by myself and reviewed by me. i can change a policy tomorrow if i want to but what i base all my p

bates received as well. and then also some comments in there, poppy, where there was actually favorable reviews of mr. bates and his interaction with the public and his performance in some of those roles as a reserve deputy. so this is 64 pages worth of documents. now, there is one thing in particular that still stands out in all of this and the lawyers for mr. bates do acknowledge there are several years worth of documents around 2012 2013 that are not accounted for. according to the lawyers for mr. pats they say that these documents probably might not exist anymore. they might have been destroyed inadvertently or for whatever reason they simply of not been found. so again this is the next step in all of this. we haven't had any reaction from the lawyer for eric harris' family yet. we just got these documents a short while ago and are beginning to pore through them. as we mentioned off the top, this is really the most significant kind of description and detailing of mr. bates' training history since he beca

according to training documents, released by bates' attorneys, bates had been certified several times using a glock .21 but not the weapon used in the shooting. when asked about that the sheriff said they were looking to see whether bates was trained using that .357 and that also the sheriff had the ability to waive certain requirements if he felt it was warranted and that bates aenlonly had to be certified using one type of weapon than does not sit well with the attorney for eric harris' family. awaiting that arraignment in about an hour. we've got news also about the two tulsa world reporters that allege these records were falsified. tell us the story there. >> reporter: yeah. it's a bit of an interesting story. first, let me start by saying the sheriff, yesterday during that news conference denied any records had been falsified. there will be an internal review under way that will determine that. but, yes, last week a lot of headlines following a tulsa world story where reporters, signing anonymous sources, allege these records had been falsified. two reports or just resigned but b

bates credit for training he never received. the report said when other deputies voiced concern, bates told them go see the sheriff if anyone had an issue. insure stanley glanz has been friend with bates for more than 25 years. bates even served as chairman of glanz' reelection campaign in 2012 and was his number one campaign donor. late this afternoon, the tulsa county district attorney, stephen kunzweiler, issued a statement saying "i am highly concerned about recent allegations that have surfaced, and i have been in contact with independent law enforcement agencies regarding further investigation into these matters." we just received this statement from the tulsa county sheriff's office. scott, it says, "we intend to fully cooperate with any legal investigation. we'll not comment further so as to not interfere with any law enforcement investigation." >> pelley: omar, thank you very much. violent storms are moving through the south and the midwest tonight. the 500-mile stretch between dallas and kansas city could get 70-mile-p

bates and say how could you make this mistake? how could you think you would going for your taser on your chest, tucked into that vest and accidently pull your weapon? >> well let me say this has happened a number of times around the country. i have read about it in the past. i thought to myself after reading several cases, i don't understand how this can happen. you must believe me it can happen to anyone. >> you yelled taser, taser. you mentioned the other deputy ducked and cleared so you could use your taser, and then you heard that gunshot. what were you thinking when you heard the shot? >> oh, my god, what has happened? the laser light is the same on each weapon. i saw the light, and i squeezed the trigger and then realized i dropped the gun. this was not an intentional thing. i have no desire to ever take anyone's life. >> that interview this morning. tonight the victim's family is reacting to bate's explanation while questions continue to pop up about his training and qualifications to be on the job. nbc's gabe gutierrez wi

bates didn't inadvertently pulled his resolver.e carried a .357 resolver from his patrol vehicle, which is unmarked. he had a bright yellow taser on his chest and he has a pistol in his right hand. according to mr. bates' fist statement, and his initial statement, he had a pepper ball gun in his left hand that he used his right hand to power the valve up with. i'm curious how that happened. if mr. bates inadvertently grabbed his pistol from his truck, not pulled it out right when this event is taking place, but literally carried it from his truck how that's not culpable. he walks up to the man with a .357 that he's not certified to use and i doubt any deputy whether they're reserve, advanced special deputies are ever certified to use a stub nosed .357 revolver in the line of duty. >> andy coats, quickly before we go, as an experienced prosecutor there in oklahoma i don't see any tricky language in this jury instruction on culpable negligence. do you see any merit in what clark brewster was saying last night, that that culpable negl

bates describe where those weapons were? >> you can see the picture of the taser in a still frame from the video. and i think it's much higher even than mr. baits is referencing in that interview with matt lauer. it's a bright yellow taser that's up high here. and based on what i know of the shooting that day, mr. bates walked from his vehicle again over to where mr. harris was and shot him. he didn't pull his weapon. >> let's listen -- let's listen to what the sheriff said today about his friend and how he made that mistake with his taser and his gun. and i warn you listen to this very carefully because i have trouble making sense of it no matter how many times i listen to it. let's listen to what the sheriff said. >> bob didn't mistake a gun for a taser. he mistaked having a gun in his hand and thought it was the taser. he didn't transition from a gun to a taser. >> mark i hope you can explain to me what i just heard. >> my eyes are rolling around in my head. it's really amazing -- let's be clear about something. that gent

bates was part of an undercover operation which was caught on video. there it is. bates' claim is while he made a mistake, he thought his handgun was actually his taser. now the wealthy volunteer's training records are being called in to question. the newspaper is reporting before the shooting supervisors were ordered to give robert bates, quote, credit for training. field training he never took and firearm certifications he should not have received. the newspaper reports three of bates' supervisors were transferred after refusing to sign off on his state required training. >> we began hearing right away after the shooting actually i had heard it several years ago in connection with the same individual. but several reporters heard this inside and outside of the "tulsa world" repeatedly. we began to interview the sources and we felt like enough sources, four or five people after a while, saying the same thing and documents that corroborate this information. so basically, the information was that supervisors were told to sign off on a train that he did not do require

robert bates pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges yesterday. he killed the suspect after pulling a gun instead of a taser as he apparently intended. omar villafranca is working the story for us in tulsa. omar. >> reporter: scott, since that incident, there have been allegations that bates was not properly trained, and tonight, we have learned that a sheriff's office review came to that same conclusion. cbs news has learned in 2009 the tulsa sheriff's office launched an internal investigation to find out if bates received special treatment during training and while working as a reserve deputy and whether supervisor pressured training officers on bates' behalf. the answer to both questions was yes. the investigation found that deputies voiced concern about v bates' behavior in the field almost from the very beginning. bates reportedly used his personal car while on duty and made unauthorized traffic stops. when confronted, bates said that he could do what he wanted andad that anyone who had a problem with him should go see the sheriff. the invest

bates was the first to admit to that.e mentioned some of the documents are still missing for the entire sheriff's office at this point for those crucial dates but really the attorney for this reserve deputy did say they wanted to release what they had in response to some of this reporting from one of the local publications there that claim that bates lacked the appropriate training and that any documents that were, in fact, put out there, three published were qaufalsified. sheriff's office is denying those claims at this point. it's very crucial for us to be able to verify the authenticity of the documents we have in hand. >> absolutely. polo sandoval, thank you. great work. >> a lot to think about there. >>> eric harris family is still working through the in you information while they are dealing with saying good-bye. they had a viewing ceremony yesterday in tulsa. his son says he believes the officers involved are trying to cover up the shooting. he is commanding justice and a memorial is scheduled for later today for e

bates' attorney making the case. what do you say?clearly, this guy didn't do it intentionally to pull his gun out and kill this guy. we could probably say that there was no intent to kill. but what is really strange. why do you have a volunteer officer on a gun buy operation? you know where you got to have detectives. >> he is 73 years old. >> well that's another thing. he is 73 years old, all right. and usually, when you have a taser, you got to have the taser on one side and your weapon on the other. this way you don't make the mistake by pulling your weapon. >> so it's always on the same side. >> it's always on the same tied and your taser is on this side. so how this guy mistakenly did it tells me he did it is so fast he wasn't watching what he was doing, fired, and at the last minute oh my god, i shot at this guy. also you to take into account, okay, this guy is 73 years old. is he mentally capable to be able to do this kind of a job? what is the age limit on reserve officers? can you be like 90 and out there? i mean, what is it

bates has donated lots of money. we don't have an exact figure but thousands of dollars worth of equipment and other things here and cars to the sheriff's department. he has an intimate relationship with the leadership at the sheriff's department which are standing by him. they had asked prosecutors not to file criminal charges and he was guilty of excusable homicide and should not be charged. >> ed lavandera, thanks so much for that. we'll check back in on that story in a bit. a lot of questions still there. >>> ahead for us "at this hour," is it too little too late for chris christie? we'll look at whether he missed his chance to be a factor in the 2016 presidential race. >>> iraq's prime minister goes to washington making a big plea for help. that is coming up. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

important to note that bates and the sheriff are close friends. french security today said a terror plot failed when a suspect who planned to shoot up at least one church shot himself instead. elizabeth palmer is following this. >> reporter: sid ahmed ghlam blew a hole through his own terrorist plot when he phoned the ambulance service claiming he was shot by a robber. but actually say french officials, he shot himself by accident. when police followed a trail of blood to his car they found an arsenal in it and later in his apartment, too. it included four assault rifles, pistols, ammunition, and al qaeda and isis propaganda. it was a contact in syria, said the prosecutor, who told him to attack a church. in the end the only victim of ghlam's botched plan was sid ahmed ghlam shot and killed near a suburb an church as she sat in her car. police suspect ghlam was trying to steel stael it. only luck and the suspect's own incompetence saved paris from more of the kind of attacks that left 17 people dead in three days of terrorist violence in january.
