Protecting our borders has never been a more important security concern. The people tasks with doing just that recently coming under fire, accused of using compelsive force. Now the agencys top performer is showing us new tools that may help protect agents, mounting cameras everywhere along the border, including on agents themselves. Abcs Senior National correspondent jim afl lavila gis a rare look inside Border Patrol training. Reporter youre watching the first videos ever seen outside of the government of a massive experiment by the u. S. Customs and Border Protection along americas borders. [ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter for the last year Border Patrol agents have been testing different model body cameras. These cameras are the most controversial part of an 18month retraining program for some 21,000 border agents, the Largest Federal Agency to try them after a series of Excessive Force complaints, incidents like the beating and tasing of aun staus i dont hernandes rojas, caught on cell phone video. As he collapsed and died resisting deportation along the border in san diego. The department of justice ruled the agents broke no laws and they did not prosecute. But not in this case. 16yearold jose rodriguez. A mexican citizen shot eight times in the shadow of the border fence that divides nogales, arizona, from nogales, mexico. The Border Patrol claimed he was thoughing rocks at the asian. Fusion unearthed a witness who claims the boy was not involved in the rockthrowing but instead was an innocent victim. Jose carlos told fusion he saw two shots from two different places and no one from thest government ever came to interview him. Last month a grand jury indicted the agent involved on murder charges. His trial is scheduled for january and he has pled not guilty. The southern border communities coalition, a watchdog group, claims 40 other ditz due to Excessive Force by Border Patrol since 2010. The amount of executeny, attention, and frankly the lack of being able to work with the public as a result of that increased suspicion that the agents are involved in Excessive Force. Reporter reform commissioner Gil Kerlikowske says the shootings, all before his time on the job, harms his relationship with the community. He thinks cameras will vindicate the majority of his agents and hold accountable the overly aggressive. Weve had almost 400 assaults on Border Patrol agents. Almost every single one of those in the southwest border. The body cams, how will they help your agents end violent situations . Most of the experience with body worn cameras in Law Enforcement has been that it has actually exonerated an agent or an officer, because its one additional piece of evidence about what occurred. Reporter the United States today spends more money on Border Control than ever before. More agents, more technology, more weapons. 18 billion a year, 8,700 hundred cameras watching the wall, watching the ports of entry. From helium balloons the terrain. And soon cameras on the agents themselves at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. Theres one more, a total of five. I think in the long run with more cameras well prove that over and over again these agents treat people the way ive seen them treat people in a very humane way. Weve had a relentless focus on tactics, on new policy, on equipment, on training, and bodyworn cameras will be a part of that. Like this state the art simulator at a train facility where i experience firsthand how the experience can get out of hand. This is a colt m4, one of the weapons we use. This is no different than any weapon you might find in the field other than its being converted over with the laser kit. Reporter first im confronted with a tragic Movie Theater active shooter scene. It requires quick response. And snap life and death judgments. In all, i managed to mistakenly shoot three civilians. I shot somebody bad. Reporter be shot at least twice myself. Before finally bringing down the gunman. This might be a once in a career experience, but the more we can expose them to these kinds of things the better for us. And the better for the public. Reporter the next scenario was more akin to the everyday work of a Border Patrol agent. Im given a rock to hide behind and attempt an arrest of smugglers at the border. Wed look at it as cover. I would hide and run, you would duck and cover. Fair enough, all right. Reporter Border Patrol agents trained with a less than lethal taser. Tase, tase, tase what did you feel your body do . Just no control. Youre tensed up. If it ever comes down to an encounter where im defending myself im going to use it. I know what the effects are. Reporter agents are also getting a new arsenal of less than lethal weapons. Our field commanders determine what tool best works in their aor reporter like a wide variety of nonlethal bullets, pepper sprays, chemical sprays. Well launch a bunch of projectiles either on the ground or infrastructure, on top of a fence maybe getting ready to throw rocks, we can hit the top of the fence with pepper balls, disperse pepper powder in the air, makes him cough, stop, get off the fence, get back. Reporter in the past agents often responded to rocks with guns. Leading to fatalities and lawsuits. For jose rodriguezs mom, she says another tool that could change behavior would be to punish the man who kill the her son. And now awaits trial. Reporter life and death on the american frontier. And the man in charge who Hopes New Technology will make a difference. For nightline, im jim avila in mcallen, texas. Up next, the hunt is on for americas next supermodel.

Mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Tand thats what were doings to chat xfinity.
