sheriff clark, you may begin. mr. clarke: good morning, mr. chair, and honorable members of of the committee of the judiciary. thank you for the opportunity to state my view which is backed by 37 years of experience from ground level concerning police accountability, public safety, and the right thing for us to work on. since the events that led to riots in ferguson missouri police use of force has , become scrutinized nationally. police use of force should be scrutinized, locally that is. it should be examined in terms of factual data and circumstances that led to the police action and not from the emotional foundation of false narratives or catchy slogans like "hands up, don't shoot." let's leave that conduct for the public to engage in and not the mainstream media or elected officials who can't resist the opportunity to exploit the emotions of an uninformed or misinformed public, simply for political gain. we will no doubt hear a lot of statistics thrown about today, some distorted for a predetermined agenda. others are legitimate. in 2013,

sheriff clarke: mr. chair, congressman, without a doubt it's part of the tipping point that i talked about. you know, we need balance obviously and obviously when we find balance maintaining is going to be more difficult. an officer delaying that thing that's telling him or her to do a certain thing that doesn't happen and may cost them their lives but let me say this about the use of body cameras. i am for this, the use of this technology. i think it's a force multiplier. it can only help. but what i've been advising, i think we're rushing into this because we will end up with a law of unintended consequences. there are privacy issues involved. it potentially could lead to fewer people wanting to come forward and cooperate with the police, especially in our north communities where cooperating with police can lead you to a very bad conclusion. you don't want to be seen doing that. you don't want to be videotaped cooperating with the police. so we have to think what impact it will have on witnesses wantin

sheriff clarke: mr. chair, congressman, we're at a tipping point that i expressed not too long what happened in ferguson missouri, about the psyche of the police officer who watches these things go on, just like anybody else does, and the constant bashing and maligning of the profession is starting to take its toll. i just spent this week in the d.c. area for the national law enforcement officers memorial, police week, if you will, and i talked to law enforcement officers across this country and the one common theme i heard from them, first of all, their mind set is they're beleaguered right now. but the common theme that i heard is, you know, sheriff, i don't know if i want to continue to take that extra step any more because i don't want to be the next darren wilson. i don't want to be the next, you know, the officers in baltimore or new york or anywhere because they in a good faith effort -- we're talking about the goode faith action of law enforcement officers, we operate in an environment of chaos a

now, willie clark actually lived in the peterson house. he was a boarder, a soldier, and he had a room in the back on the first floor. on that morning, willie clark, like many in washington, was out and partying. he was celebrating the near end of the civil war. lee surrendered five days before. so, that night around 10:15 across the street, the president is shot. and soldiers carry the wounded president out, looked around where to bring him. a gentleman in the peterson house said bring him in here because there was an empty bedroom in the back. that was willie clark's bedroom. so they bring lincoln in there. lincoln dies there the next morning. willie clark comes back after lincoln's body is cleared out. and, essentially, you can only imagine the scene there. you are told, by the way, the president of the united states died in your bed last night. what would you do? sarah, do you think you would -- would you ever go into that room again? sarah jencks: you know, i can't imagine what willie clark must have been feeling. he was a young guy.

>> you know, i can't imagine what willie clark must have been feeling. he feels a young guy. he was a clerk at the war department. he was -- this was his room. this was the room he knew and this was his bed and head paid for the room. his response was he slept in the bed, and honestly, while we might have chosen not to do that, i think in other ways, it's understandable what he did. that was his home. so clark is not a famous name, but he guided the interpretation of the space his bedroom for the immediate aftermath because people came to visit it bothering him, knocking on his door, his room. >> so one of the items that we have here in the remembering lincoln collection is willie clark's letter to his sister, ida, back in massachusetts from a few days later. he wrote this, actually, on wednesday, april 19 th 1865, four days after lincoln's death, and this is the day of the big funeral in washington. he talks about his life in the previous few days since the president had died in his bed. he talks about souvenirs going in and out day and night for a relic. he was not blameles

sheriff clarke: mr. chair, congressman, we're at a tipping point that i expressed not too long what happened in ferguson, missouri, about the psyche of the police officer who watches these things go on, just like anybody else does, and the constant bashing and maligning of the profession is starting to take its toll. i just spent this week in the d.c. area for the national law enforcement officers memorial, police week, if you will, and i talked to law enforcement officers across this country and the one common theme i heard from them, first of all, their mind set is they're beleaguered right now. but the common theme that i heard is you know, sheriff, i don't know if i want to continue to take that extra step any more because i don't want to be the next darren wilson. i don't want to be the next, you know, the officers in baltimore or new york or anywhere because they in a good faith effort -- we're talking about the goode faith action of law enforcement officers, we operate in an environment of chaos a

some frontier officials also begin to say -- people like william clark of lewis and clark fame and louis cass who's the superintendent of indian affairs, they begin to say maybe indians and god himself are not meant to be little farmers. maybe they are meant to be wild hunters and warriors. and they start telling the presidents of the united states to send these people west. i asked you before what you'd do if you were president in 1815. we're now about ten years down the road. what would you do if you're president in 1825 and you've got all these people, many of them indians demanding that you be sent that they be sent west? how would you maintain peace out on the frontier? james monroe at the end of his presidency says, i give up, go west. and he favors indian removal. john quincy adams is the next president, and he gets into office saying i'm going to send them west. it's hopeless. there is a collision of people on this frontier, and the indians are suffering. the voices are louder to save us and send us west than keep us here. he would have done it if not for the fact that a man by t

. >> john clarke joins us live. the nfl is making a statement with this ruling. >> you said it. this really is a big statement one of the biggest punishments in nfl history involving one of the best players in league history, and tom brady's agent says, "the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis," so they are appealing. but the nfl believes brady did not fully cooperate with the investigation and wasn't completely honest. >> i have no knowledge of anything. >> reporter: the nfl did not believe tom brady. former eagle troy vincent, the nfl's executive president, he wrote to brady "there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were at least generally aware of the actions of the patriots' employees involved in the deflations of the footballs, and it's unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge." bob costas on nbc's nightly news says commissioner roger goodell was under pressure not to underinflate the punishments. >> the nfl has been under a lot of heat for player misbehavior, team misbehavior, unrelated to this particular type of offen

when his trial begins two years later, judy clark will lead the defense team. >> judy clark is a legendican criminal defense. this is a woman who is famous for taking impossible cases and not getting acquittals, but getting life sentences as opposed to death sentences, which is not an easy thing. >> as she was led into court, he was glancing over his right shoulder and smiling and smirking at his relatives behind him. i found that absolutely galling and reprehensible. >> judy clark got up there in the opening statement of the trial and said, it was him. those were her words. "it was him." this was obviously very strategic on the part of the defense. >> clark's strategy, don't fight the charges, fight the death penalty. >> the defense is trying to show mitigation. yes, he's guilty, but, consider the following about him. consider his alienation from american society. consider the malevolent influence of his older brother, which led him, inexorably to this crime. >> but the prosecution team isn't buying it. >> the prosecution said, they were equal partners. if you put bombs down on a stree

villalpando started walking toward officer clark and officer clark uses the laforce, mr. villalpando has been told more than 20 times to stop approaching the officer. the officer does not fire until the suspect is close enough to possibly attack them or try to obtain his weapon. amy: but police have never claimed garcia reached for officer clark's weapon or attacked him. an autopsy showed garcia was drunk. he did not have a gun. he was one of three unarmed mexican citizens killed by police in the united states over a period of less than a month. in florida, miami beach police have issued new policies after acknowledging 16 officers sent more than 200 racist sexist homophobic and pornographic emails, which may have jeopardized dozens of cases. the emails include an image of a game board labeled "black monopoly," where every square reads "go to jail" and a photo of a bruised woman with the caption "domestic violence. because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once." two of those involved were high-ranking officials. one has retired, the second was fired. a new policy

in the case of clark fish, i came across him in a very, very unique way. i was walking past his cell and i saw how his socks had been folded and his socks had been rolled up in a ball with these little smiles. and as a veteran, i knew that's exactly how you folded -- were trained to fold your socks in the military. and so i said, were you in the service? and he goes, yeah, i was in the army. >> i joined the army straight out of high school. it was a conviction of mine because we as a family, a lot of males in the family, have been part of the service. and so i felt it was my obligation, and i was a health care specialist. i had no idea what it meant to be a health care specialist. all i knew is i wanted to do something medical. and i want to work in a hospital with doctors so they told me i'd be doing that. the reality was, i was not a health care specialist but a pretty name for combat medic. >> one of the challenges is always getting the inmates to share some very intimate details of their lives, and sometimes their crimes. i think in clark's case, the f
