you went to birmingham, and a 15-year-old says, "i was raised to hate the police." x it is painful to hear that. loretta lynch: i have been on a six city community policing tour. we went to birmingham, cincinnati, east haven, and i got back from seattle and richmond. we chose these cities because they have a challenging relationship between police and the citizens. lawsuits, shootings, private investigations, the kind of relationship that you outline where residents talk about a deeply ingrained sense of lack of trust. the larger issue is the lack of connection, really, to the forces that should be protecting them. i was able to speak with young people in every city in which i visited. birmingham was rewarding, because that young person was involved in a program where high school students worked directly with police. we are looking for cities that have, as i said, a challenging relationship with law enforcement. yet, they have found a way to rebuild the relationship, to claw themselves back from the brink. to find a way in which, when problems develop, there is a me

the defending champions, alabama birmingham. i'm bruce rader, win streaks are nice, but confrence wins are more important. and it dosen't get any bigger than tonight's game against red hot alabama birmingham, who hadn't lost a game since november. and uab looked to have this in a bag, taking an 8 point lead into the second half and stretching that lead game went on. it looked like the streak was going to come to an one. freeman, the star of the team, the step back jumper, and uab's 11 point lead had dwindled to just 3. then freeman, from the other side, buries the jumper, a 13-0 run for the monarchs, odu with a 2 point lead with 2 minutes to go. then with 30 seconds in regulation, odu down 2.. off the miss, denzel taylor gets the rebound and the putback to tie the game at 57 and we head to overtime. monarchs, in overtime, down 2, freeman, with three of his 28 points, and the monarchs are back up by 2. then uab answers right back, sophmore william lee, connects on the three from the corner, alabama birmingham up by one, and here'

my father was from birmingham, alabama. every time they sent me to birmingham i would get the version of the talk. you know, when you go, carry yourself in a certain way. don't call attention to ourself. >> when you're going down south. don't look people in the eye. i didn't think that in 2015 i would be telling my 15-year-old son not to look someone in the eye. i just thought that would not be necessary. and so the pretzel twist that you go in the pretzel twist that you go presently livet in neighborhoods where violence is the same kind of issue. childrento say your into the neighborhood so that they know they can be confident, can step up to challenges. you have to teach them for their own safety how to modulate themselves so that they know when they can be confident. and when they have to dial it back. not all the kids my children attend school with have to do the same thing. to move in different spaces in different ways. i was going to tell you my age but i will stop right there. it is hard for me to deal with that. it

dci's tony birmingham was lead agent. he hand-picked fellow agent chris thomas to interview seth. >> there was no doubt in my mind that chris was the person that needed to do that interview. >> we only get one shot atatt. this could just be information collecting or we have to be prepared that this could be our suspect. >> reporter: so, only eight hours after his pregnant wife was murdered, seth's formal interview with dci agent thomas got under way. >> you can just call me chris, i guess. you're free to, uh, go out of here at anytime. >> reporter: in the interview room, agent thomas was in the white shirt, back to the camera.a. to put seth more at ease, a deputy familiar to him sat in. >> you have a job? >> reporter: it started routinely. >> currently, i work out at uh job corps as security, but actually next month i'm coming to work here in the jail. >> reporter: seth had already given his account twice to deputies at the scene, but this would be his first time on videotape. his story begins somewhere around 5:00 a.m. >

but alabama birmingham is real good, top 25 good with size, speed, and experience. the coach was infuriated as his monarchs looked overmatched and i don't know what coach jones told his team at halftime. if i did, i probably could not say it on tv. but odu stormed back with a run to send the game into overtime. the monarchs were playing on a different level and looked to have the game in hand. >> doubled. they were hesitant. he gets it to go with 14 seconds. uab, no timeout. brown, eight seconds. lee knocked free. two seconds. 2.3 to go. to seconds. freeman from the court. bruce: a devastating loss for old dominion. you can see it on the face of coach jones after the game. teams playing really hard, trading punches so to speak. they made one more play than we did. >> we are still hungry. i learned a lot from everybody and of feeling positive now honestly. sometimes you have to lose to learn something. i learned a lot from a lot of guys. bruce: no time to dwell, back on the court tomorrow night as odu welcomes middleton, a team the monarchs have never been before. wi

lead agent birmingham thought he was telling the truth and tate off his suspect list. so you only had one suspect at this point. >> yeah, one suspect and only one suspect.hat evening, lisa's loved ones gathered at a funeral home for the visitation. the turnout was impressive and included many of todd's friends 's department. your fellow officers are there as they would be, you know, they-- you know, want to show respect. >> right.d inside was somber and uneasy. the caldwells gathered near lisa's coffin. the of the room. seth was there. his sister-in-law presley will never forget what happened next. >> he actually came up to me, e of it, he gave me a big ol' hug, and he said, "you will always be my love you." and i was like, "i love you back." >> reporter: when the last families remained, still at nds of the room. >> then i saw the two dci agents come in and sit down behind me, a couple rows behind seth and i. a personal visit or professional --" >> reporter: is this condolences or somethin' else, huh? >> yeah, and he said, "it's professional." >> reporter: marty wonder

i was raised in minnesota, my father was from birmingham. and anytime we would go to birmingham i would get the talk. you are yourself in a certain way. do not call attention to yourself. think in 2015dn't i would be telling my 15-year-old son not to be looking people in the eye. i thought that that would not be necessary. so, the pretzel twist you go through, we do not live in neighborhoods where that is the issue. you do not want to send them into neighborhoods where they have to roar. but at the same time you have to teach them for their own safety and your own comfort how to modulate themselves so that they know when they can step up and when they can be confident and when they have to dial it back. i am positive that not all the kids my children attend school with have to do the same thing. i try to tell them ultimately they will benefit from that because it teaches them a kind bi-culturalism to move in different spaces in in different ways. we have the added dimension of what we have lived through. our children have had a year of seein

people in birmingham, people in alabama stood up for their rights. that was courage.rage is well over 100 years ago women who were treated in this country as second or third class people, women who were divorced couldn't get property rights. women didn't have the right to vote. women couldn't do the jobs they wanted to do. that's a man's job, you're not going to be a lawyer, a doctor, not going to be a carpenter, serve in the military, not going to be a police officer. that's not your work, that's men's work. women said sorry. >> senator bernie sanders speaking in manchester, iowa, saying there are those people that say his goals are unrealistic. why he says, why should they be. you need to be willing to stand up for them, he says. who was suggesting some of his goals are not realistic? that would be hillary clinton and people associated with the clinton campaign. we will see her coming up in a little bit also. >>> next for us, a brand new interview on the republican side, chris christie held a heck of an event on the campaign trail. we're going to tell you what he sa
