they would have to go to the fbi. over the past 10 years, many arab-americans have been subject to intense and unwarranted scrutiny -- scrutiny by such organizations, like the fbi and others. it has not only been the fbi. people have been alienated from civic participation. [tone] sfpd should recall what john crew mentioned, the expos pay. >> your time is up. sorry. >> yesterday we shredded the bill of rights. today by being part of the jttf, is treading it's part of the bill of rights. i call on your good conscience for you to urge the board of supervisors -- >> sir? thank you. next speaker, please. >> the evening. i am the student national vice president for the guild and the national lawyers guild here in san francisco. i want to thank you for holding this hearing. i feel like this entire thing is about local control and transparency. i think there was a number of perceptive questions from commissioners regarding the bureau order and the local patrol issue. i think what needs to be really clear, as far as i understa

7000 law enforcement officials, including the fbi, the joint task force, and others. we did some of this work under the department justices community relations service. when a train on the issues, a key factor was trust between me as a trainer and the law enforcement officials that were there to learn about how to culturally, competently work with our communities. there were specifics mentioned in the presentation. within the muslim community, the case in l.a., the muslim public affairs council and many others worked with the fbi for a year on that one case. it reduced and eliminated funds that have been built over the years. if i decide to move to san francisco, we don't want what happened to a 16-room boy after 9/11 when he was taking a picture in maryland, hours later, an fbi agent showed up at his door in virginia and asked to see who he was and what he was doing. i don't want that to happen at the golden gate bridge if we have children and their photograph thing it. -- photograph in it. -- photographing it. [applause] >> good evening, everyone. i would like to th

it really went down the way the fbi is now telling it. ing about the arrest the number two man on the fbi's most wanted list, second only to osama bin laden. tonight he is in jail. james whitey bulger. shown here with his girlfriend catherine gri,g. legendary boston crime boss. inspiration for jack nichol sohn's blood thirsty killer in the movie "the departed" and fbi informant. degrees he ratted out his competition. some of them. others he allegedly murdered, tortured, enemies, associates, anyone who crossed him. 19 in all according to authorities. and all the while, all the while while he was killing others his handler in the fbi turned a blind eye to his blood luft. in fact it was this same fbi agent who alerted bulger that he was about to be indicted, sparking him to make a run for it. that was in 1994. since then there have been bulger sightings all around the world. but it was here in a rent controlled apartment on a modest street in santa monica california where agents arrested him last evening. 81-year-old bulger and his 61-year-ol

they are casting doubt on that. >> it's important to say outside the fbi. sources are saying it was too easy. look, 16 years on the run, thousands of tips have come in. there's been movies, tv shows, newspaper reporting. and all of a sudden one day after they air this psa in all these tv markets, not los angeles, they get a tip that leads to the arrest. >> what do these people say? >> that maybe this was a smoke screen to protect the real tipster and protect that person because that person's life may be in danger. or perhaps bulger himself was turning himself in. there's $2 million for him, $100,000 reward for her. they just don't believe it. and they're elling us that, look at, watch whaps in the days ahead. we're going to get a different story. >> tom, do you cast doubt on what the fbi has been saying? >> not really. i've had friends of mine that were involved in this investigation and involved in catching fugitives over the years tell me that they ran the public service announcement and the person that called in the tip did not see the direct announcement

they owned the fbi. on police almost had a commissioner from one of the corrupt fbi agents was almost appointed boston police commissioner. billy bulger tried to get his brother's employee as the new boss of the boston police. it was an amazing thing. there's an fbi document from one of the people that was in his gang who said bulger and flemmy, the other guy, and the boston police have a machine and the fbi has a machine and no one can fight the machines. that's literally the way it was. >> tell me about higgs brother william. there's a completely different story there that just adds to the movie quality of all this. >> right. his brother billy was a politician and he worked his way up through the ranks in the massachusetts legislature and became the president of the massachusetts state senate. he always made jokes about whitey. he had a big st. patrick's day breakfast every year, hee and the governor, whether a democrat or republican, they'd make jokes about whitey. whitity won the lottery one year, won

but throughout the fbi's history, one thing has remained a top ten staple. fugitive mob bosses like whitey bulger. pete williams, nbc news, washington. >>> when "nightly news" continues this saturday night, an unexpected turn in the blockbuster case that has viewer hooked on every word. >>> and later, welcome to the family. hundreds come to hard-hit job lynn, missouri, to take on some new best friends. >>> there was supposed to be more testimony today in the sensational murder trial of casey anthony who was accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, but there was an unexpected turn as we hear from nbc's kerry sanders. >> reporter: before the jury entered the courtroom today -- >> he doesn't even know if this is new or tonight. >> reporter: jose baez and jeff ashton were at it again. this time, openly sparring over an expert with it's witness' expected testimony. >> i'm afraid once again, we are in the position of experts having accept supplemented their opinions without notice to the state. >> reporter: accused murderer casey anthony stared emotionless, as t

and information got to the fbi and the fbi investigated it appropriately. and responded appropriately. that's what we want. so i think that's the building blocks. >> and mike, from a government perspective during your time with the fbi internally, how a priority is building trust? >> -- how high is a priority in building trust? >> i never thought about it since i live. i can't think of a single time in 31 years in the fbi that i solved the case on my own. i can't think of a single other agent who would say anything other than that. and if you're old enough, most of you remember the downside of that it made death by look like a disney on its own. and nothing could be further from the truth. it's one of the reasons i really like the joint task force concept. but my standard routine and, and it didn't really very much at all when i went looking for an open, any community can weather was working drugs are violent crime or counter intelligence or counterterrorism was not not not, i'm with the fbi and i need your help. every time. slam the door in my face, fine, n

the fbi put him on the most wanted list. tips came in from all over the world, alaska, poland, hong kong. agents thought they found him four years ago. but they turned out to be tourists from germany. the fbi ramped up its efforts, with a huge display in times square. >> a violent temper and charged with 19 murders. >> reporter: james whitey bulger and his companion were arrested in santa monica. catherine heenan, kron 4 news. >> we have a picture of james whitey bulger from when he was a prisoner, this from the late 1950s. during a search they found $800,000 in cash. 30 fire arms, several pieces of false identification. he will be returned to massachusetts to face charges. >>> fog is not going to be as extensive as originally thought. the winds are suppressing it. so we aren't seeing fog but it will bump up tomorrow morning. clearing by the afternoon. sunny skies. temperatures on the cooler side. mainly in the 60s and 70s. let's look at fog tracker tomorrow. 6:00 fog, patchy fog pushing into the east bay. also the peninsula

in our meeting today with the attorney's office and the fbi, give us evidence. we will look into it. they are concerned. i am listed as the first speaker. before we move into this meeting, to set the tone, i will move to the last speaker, chief greg suhr. he will make announcements that will take -- that will set a good tone for this evening. chief? >> thank you, commissioner mazzucco. first of all, i would like to affirm everything the commissioner said as just so. i appreciate the outreach by the human rights commission to the community. i want to acknowledge the validity of the perceptions raised by the community. that said, we have very strict policies in san francisco police department in place so there is appropriate oversight for all investigations involving activities. 8.10 came about in 1994, has been revised once, and i believe mr. crew collaborated significantly on the original version of this order. oversight include audits from the occ, a monthly meeting with a designated police commissioner, and approval required by the chief for first amendment inv

pierre, why did it take the fbi 16 years? >> reporter: diane, here at the federal courthouse in boston, they had been hoping to bring bulger to justice for years chls but it was difficult, because he was a master of disguise. the fbi's man hunt was both national and international and it was futile. with possible is sightings in mexico, canada and europe. in 2007, the fbi obtained this video of a man who resembled bulger strolling in italy. they were never certain it was him. >> we pursued him literally across the face of the earth. >> reporter: at one point, the fbi was so desperate for tips, they released this audio of his voice. >> how are you doing? did he order any sandwiches? >> reporter: over time, the case grew cold. but the turning point was when they decided to target his girlfriend. catherine greig had breast implants and plastic surgery. so, they advertised in plastic surgery news and she was constantly in beauty shops. so, they came up with a plan to target women who may have seen her. this week, they launched an a

a tip came in pointing to santa monica as the location, and the fbi swooped in. bulger had been on the run since 1994, but no one in the fbi gave up. they say at the fbi the only way to get off that top ten list is to die or to get caught. terry? >> there will be much more on this story all night on abc and "good morning america" will have the latest details. >>> well, now to president obama, who addressed the nation and announced his plans for troop withdrawals in afghanistan tonight. it's a huge moment in this long war and for this president. and abc's martha raddatz has our report. >> reporter: in the end it fell to the commander in chief to make the decision, and tonight barack obama told the nation he is ready to start pulling out of afghanistan. >> starting next month, we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troops from afghanistan by the end of this year. and we will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer. >> reporter: he is taking a huge risk, and he knows it. >> after this initial reduction our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace

i struck gold in many ways that's the original fbi case agent stan horns dean the surface to was an old civil-rights investigator investigator, transferred from birmingham to of very quiet fbi office and thought he would be far removed from this type of incident. but stand, and the original fbi agent was able to fill and a lot of missing piece is early on surrounding how important colonel alon was. these are the kinds of things only the fbi at that time had access to. montgomery county police did not have access to sensitive information that the fbi had possession of. they formed a partnership with the cold case squad to get to the bottom of what happened. this probably not a politically correct statement we called ourselves the graybeards dies trying to figure out to figure out what happened and put together the pieces of the puzzle i am truly honored and i don't know there is to gentlemen from the associated press that provided an extraordinary amount of help and as i mentioned in my book "chasing shadows" i would not want any one of them hunting me. i am sure they do wonderful work.

right after the fbi finally knocked on his door. a door to a rent-controlled apartment here in santa monica, now sealed off with police tape. >> the arrest marks the end of a long and exhaustive hunt for america's most wanted man, for one of america's most wanted men. >> reporter: today, investigators hold out dozens of boxes of evidence, including more than 60 weapons. they also found $800,000 cash. bulger and his girlfriend catherine greig have lived in this biflding for 15 years. as charlie and carol gasko. barbara lived just down the hall in apartment 307 for 15 years. >> i think he was impatient and full of rage. he seemed so vie leapt. >> reporter: other neighbors described them as friendly enough, but low key. >> they seemed like they did not want to make eye contact. >> reporter: in boston, whitey bulger is the stuff of legend. the irish mobster. he even won the massachusetts lottery a few years before his indictment. >> everybody knew who this guy. everybody knew he ran the racqurac rackets. but there was a myth. he never hu

basically, he made a deal with the fbi. they gave him carte blanche to see what he wanted. >> reporter: bulger's life of crime was the inspiration for the 2006 martin scorsese film "the departed." but bulger hardly needed hollywood to cement his reputation as an almost mythic criminal figure. he and his girlfriend are expected to make first court appearance later today in a federal courtroom in los angeles. >> bob, talk about the fbi publicity campaign out three days and already yielding a major big-time result here. >> reporter: yeah, it's amazing. the fbi flat out says the recent appeal for information directly led to this arrest. somebody apparently saw the pictures and tipped police perhaps bulger and his girlfriend were staying in that apartment building in santa monica. neighbors have saying that the girlfriend was talkative and outgoing and friendly and could be that public interaction you willy led to bulger's capture and hope to learn out more today from the fbi. >> bob, thank you. >>> we will have more on whitey bu

's not an argument. >> when you go through what i went through, you learn that business has no place in a human heart. >> it's been a long time. the children have had to suffer and grow up without their father. i feel a lot of things. i'm just so sorry it took this long for him to be freed. but thank god it has happened. >> reporter: she married her husband while behind bars. both of their children were conceived in prison. pratt proudly says he is here to see his 14-year-old son graduate from middle school tomorrow. >> i love that he is coming up here to see my graduation. >> congratulations. >> that's what i was hoping for. thank you. >> reporter: but tuesday just hours after his release, pratt missed his daughter's high school graduation in marin. >> i had my graduation in la. and my dad. >> when we come back on "second look," pratt talks about his celebrated case. >> follow "second look" on facebook and twitter. . >>> black panther geronimo pratt spent 27 years in prison for a murd

the fbi said he didn't resist arrest but was verbally combative. he face charges in connection with 19 murders as well as drug trafficking and money laundering. he was on the "10 most wanted list." he this say he was living with greig and charles and carol gasgo. it came in response to a new publicity campaign n boston they had just about given up hope. >> i thought he was gone forever. >> reporter: police there describe bulger as diabolical, among the most cold-blooded killers in criminal history and said his arrest finally brings relief to families of his alleged victims. >> this pursuit of justice was for them and to hold mr. bulger accountable for the carnage that left behind. >> reporter: the manager of bulger's apartment building says he had been living there for 15 years, nearly the entire time he was on the lam. >> reporter: and that manager also said that bulger and his girlfriend were ideal tenants, paying their rent on time every month with cash. reporting live in los angeles, kendis gibson, back to you. >> besides that reward, i understa

the fbi can now begin to hopefully move past that. ar as boston, just a huge collective sigh of relief. i mean anybody in the city, and particularly in his neighborhood who had a family member who was killed by him, who was intimidated by him, shaken down, you know, finally this guy who was at the centre of it all, you know, is going to be coming back to boston and go to court. it's long overdue but here it is. >> warner: dick lehr from boston, thank you so much. >> you're welcome >> brown: finally tonight: from the "sound of silence" in the '60s to "so beautiful or so what" today. recently, i sat down with legendary song-writer and performer paul simon. >> i'm going to make a chicken gumbo. toss some sausage in the pot. >> brown: on the title track of his new album, "so beautiful or so what." 69-year-old paul simon is still turning playful phrases and examining life through song. >> ♪ i'm going to tell my kids a bedtime story ♪ a play without a plot will it have a happy ending? ♪ maybe yeah, maybe not >> brown: several generations of

that is our early and deeply imbedded the nation of islam was or the fbi was. is the questions of what more can we do as they become more and more available. people's names and identities as a scholar see what you can corroborate with other materials. some report gains on that we could corroborate those records to try to figure out. so what we have to learn about malcolm x. but i think this book makes a significant contribution to that objective. >> host: of life of reinvention? >> guest: that title comes from that malcolm went through several stages of evolutionary development. throughout his life, his family, his father was killed what many believed to be racist violence of a type of kkk organization in the 1920's and his family fell apart he was in a foster home at age eight but in eighth grade a good dreams to become realistic and loses the enthusiasm for school. and then he moves to boston and then take some of the persona but detour it was a better city and the culture of the time but then he goes to prison and given to the members that were taken end to

it's because he corrupted the fbi here. r spectacular unsuccess in finding him drove the idea that they weren't serious in their intent or energy to find him. some thought they were protecting him. a lot of cynicism. they finally got their man, but it's been a long, long run. >> this is unbelievable. you brought up one of the key parts here. he was an fbi informant in addition to being a gangster and along the way he started working the ties very much to his advantage. talk to me about that. >> well, this is what makes him much, much different than most mafia bosses. it also makes the treachery intense. his big career move was to understand that if he helped the fbi take out the italian faction, the mafia which was the national directive to take it out that he would put out of business his rivals. in return, he got from the fbi protection. it was both legal and illegal protection. he corrupted the bureau. basically bulger would like to say that he turned the federal bureau of investigation into the bulger bureau of investiga

the fbi swarmed the complex yesterday evening. they took multiple boxes and bags of evidence out of that third floor apartment and it certainly startled neighbors. >> we were only just starting to get the information now. you know, it's like are you kidding?! now? >> this is an announcement by the fbi. have you seen this tomorrow? >> >> reporter: and that right there was a commercial that the fbi just started running one day before the arrest so just two days ago and then they got a tip. they were actually looking not for whitey in that commercial but for his girlfriend, catherine greig. they figured if they could spot her, that she would lead them to him and that's what happened. there is a $2 million reward out for his arrest and conviction. so possibly, someone will be getting that $2 million. they will be in federal court today. he is wanted on a number of different charges. he will face a number of different charges, murder extortion and money laundering. she will face harboring a fugitive. live in downtown l.a., i'm kristine

and in return, he got from the fbi protection. it was both legal and illegal protection. asically, bulger would like to say that he had tushed the federal bureau of investigation into the bull ler bureau of investigation. >> strong words. was there too cozy of a relationship between an alleged murderer and the feds. michael was a captain in the crime family before leaving it behind and joins us live from california. so, michael, what do you think about that? he said he felt whitey corrupted the bureau. >> well, you know, i don't think these are -- this policy comes from the top of the fbi but, you know, my experience on the street is sometimes the agents get a little bit too comfortable, too cozy with some of their informants and in this case, you know, to protect a guy like this, to get a guy like, you know, some of the guys i knew back there, a few guys in the new england family, that was a bad tradeoff. i can tell you that. >> did you know whitey at all? did you come in contact with him, talk to him? >> never met whitey but a well-talked about -- well, i shouldn't say w

the fbi can cross a name off its "most wanted" list. >> a big name at that. kristine lazar is in l.a. where a fugitive mob boss on the run for years is expected in court today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. whitey bulger and his girlfriend catherine greig are expected inside the federal courthouse today. they were both arrested yesterday in santa monica without any sort of trouble. we'll show you now their photos. obviously, these are some older photos. he has been on the run since 1995. the mob boss is wanted for his involvement in 19 different murders. he fled boston back in 1995 after being tipped off that he was about to be indicted. bulger is now 81 years old. his girlfriend is 60. the couple were living on the third floor of an apartment complex in santa monica. they were taken into custody yesterday. neighbors say bulger went by the name of charlie that he was balding and had gray hair. the fbi swarmed that complex yesterday taking bags of evidence out of their apartment and startling bulger's neighbors to say the least. >> we were just start

so big day for the fbi. reporting live here in los angeles. back to you. >> kara, a couple questions. what's the explanation the fbi might have about why he was so illusionive for so long? was it the issue of a lot of disguises, others were haeshing him? any explanation or any other details on that? >> in boston, there have been charges that the fbi cozied up to him. he was an informant for the fbi and he did escape because someone tipped him off to the fact that he was about to be arrested. so over the years, there have been these charges. the fbi perhaps didn't go after him hard enough. the fbi has said that's not the case. they did say, as you mentioned, he wore disguises, he traveled around the country and he was a master criminal. what's interesting here is when they changed their tactics and didn't go after him, they went after his girlfriend and that's when he was caught. >> appreciate that. >>> the government decides to tap the stroo teejic oil reserve because of supply problems. we'll look at what it means for gas prices. a network of

we're total they did not put up a fight when the fbi closed in. the feds were acting on a tip shortly avalanching a publicity campaign aimed at finding bulger and greig. let's go to los angeles. kara finnstrom is over at bulger's first court appearance. when is that actually supposed to start taking place, kara? >> wolf, any minute now, bulger and his 60-year-old girlfriend catherine greig are expected to make that court appearance. it could be pushed into later in the day. we're told to stands by. we have a reporter inside the courthouse, who is continuing to update. what we understand is the judge will consider whether to grand bond. most don't believe he'll do so because of the flight risk here. bulger could ask for a hearing to try to block his extradition back to boston. if he doesn't request it, he would in most cases by extradited. now, the big question everyone is asking today is how did this notorious crime boss on the run for 16 years ultimately get caught? what fbi agents are telling us is that it all came down to his girlfriend. they te
