Forever. And you have given me the most precious moment, okay, of my athletic and coaching career. Pretty cool. Thats it for this special report. Fair, balanced and unafraid. Here is greta. This is a fox news alert. U. S. Officials tell fox news they are aware of a video in which isis terrorists claim they have beheaded an american journalist. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge joins us. Catherine, what can we report tonight about this. What we have been able to confirm within the last hour is that a very careful analysis is being done by the u. S. Intelligence community to verify the authenticity of this tape. So that will involve a voice analysis, looking at the location, understanding the credibility of the individual who posted this video from isis on to social media. But, more specifically, whether there is anything there that says its a fake. From my experience covering al qaeda now for more than a
decade. These groups do not have a track record of posting fake tapes. Now, the tape has now been taken down. It was on youtube. It has now been taken down. Thats correct. Many people have actually looked at the tape. Who is james folly . James folly is an American Photo journalist. He was kidnapped in syria in 2012 and its been the belief of the u. S. Intelligence community that he was in the custody of isis. The posting of this video today, the alleged killing of foley does appear to be a significant escalation by isis in retaliation to the United States for these air strikes in iraq. All right. Now, there is one other journalist that is also held captive by american journalist held captive by isis . There is at least one other. I have had some information recently that there may be a u. S. Aid worker that was kidnapped and held by isis. So we are starting to see a trend. The taking of u. S. Citizens and if this tape turns out to be genuine, the execution
of u. S. Citizens and you cannot see this video and not think about the execution of daniel pearl in 2011. Now to ferguson, missouri. A grand jury could begin hearing evidence to determine whether Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson will or will not be indicted in Michael Browns death. Tonight on the record learning new information about officer wilson. Plus, right now ferguson, missouri bracing for another night of violent protests. Last night hitting arrest high, 78 people arrested during last nights violence. Former homicide detective ted williams is in ferguson. He joins us live. Ted, what you have learned about this Police Officer . Well, greta, there is a great deal that we have learned about the Police Officer. Is he a career veteran. He has been on the force for approximately five years. He has recently divorced. He has a girlfriend, but one
of the things he does not have is a record of getting in trouble or having a lot of complaints lodged against him with his commanders. In terms of his colleagues like him, basically. That doesnt mean anything didnt happen on the street but he is wellliked by his colleagues . Yeah. That was Something Else that we were able to find. Is he a Police Officers Police Officer for most of what we have been able to find. Is he well like in the department and by his colleague and his officials. All right. Well, you are in ferguson, so, tell me, is it beginning to look at all like last night when you there were last night and crowds began to gather. I realize its not yet dark there. Are you beginning to see anything that resembles last night . Greta, this is a town under siege. There is a difference between night and day. During the daytime you are
able to walk down the street, the demonstrators are out here. The Law Enforcement and the demonstrators get along very well. And then darkness takes place. And its a complete metamorphosis. At that stage the demonstrators are influenced apparently by rebel rousers who get in the mix with the demonstrators and as of last night, we had two people shot, we had three or four Law Enforcement agents or officers injured. We had had quite a few arrests here last night. Its a difference. I have got to it tell you, greta. Im not the governor of this town or this state or this town but what i would like to see at the dusk they should shut everything down. I realize individuals have First Amendment rights, but im telling you sooner or later but i hope it doesnt happen but there is a good possibility that one of officers who is trying to protect this public could
very well be harmed seriously harmed. Ted, if youll just stand by. Youve seen it, protesters taking to the streets every night since Police Fatally shot an unarmed teen Michael Brown. On the record is investigating. Ted williams and Griff Jenkins walked the identical path that brown walked in the minutes he was shot from the Convenience Store to the shooting scene. Starts right here in this area where Michael Brown and Darian Johnson confronted the clerk. At some stage or another, during the course of these events, Michael Brown reached across the counter here and in this area where you can can can see the cigarilos is. He wound up handing them to Darian Johnson. At that stage he then reached back over the counter, grabbed a handful of cigarelos, at that stage,
after doing so, what he did was begin to walk towards this door here. As he got toward the door, leading to the outside of this liquor store, he was met by the clerk. So the clerk comes from behind the counter. Absolutely. Meets Michael Brown here and at some stage or another, Michael Brown wound up pushing the clerk. Okay. And when he pushed him, he pushed him into this display case. Michael brown then walks out of the door here. And once Michael Brown walked out of the door, there was some words between him and the clerk Michael Brown walked back into the store. Had words with the clerk. They were walking away from the liquor store, which is on the other side of the mcdonalds here. The former federal agent, is there anything to be
learned . Does it stand out to you at all that the two were walking along this road . It seems that if you rob the store or if you stole something you would run. You are absolutely right. They did not see this as a robbery, meaning Michael Brown at the time. I think, in Michael Browns mind was that he had walked into a store, and that he had taken the cigarelos and that that was the beginning and the end of it. And it wasnt like he had stolen money. It wasnt like he had taken a gun and put to the clerks head, so, i dont think he saw this meaning Michael Brown as a big deal. they turned right on canfield . Thats exactly right. They turned right on canfield and started walking right on canfield. They are walking out hered in the middle of the street. And if you notice this, this is really a two lane
highway. So if you are walking in the middle of the street and you are walking out here like i am now, you could very well be considered to be impairing traffic. And if you are walking in the middle of the street like, this then traffic is going to have to go around you. The reasonable justification for the the Law Enforcement officer to Say Something to Michael Brown and Darrian Johnson and that was get out of the street. My investigation show that Michael Brown and Darian Johnson had words with the officer. There was an exchange. It was a heated exchange. There was profanity exchanged. And at that stage the Police Officer went past them. Did not stop, at that immediate time. But went past him what we do know is that Michael Brown and Darian Johnson walked counsel canfield. The Police Officer is up in
front of him in his car, meaning officer wilson. And they are walking really in the direction of officer wilson. At some stage or another, when they get to a certain area up here, you will see where officer wilson put his car in reverse and came back and now officer wilson was parallel to Michael Brown and Darian Johnson. And it was at this stage and at that stage that the confrontation took place. Is it possible, ted, that officer wilson had heard on the apb some description of the Convenience Store robbery and perhaps thats why he was interested in brown . What we do know is that the chief of police has said that officer wilson was not aware of that all point bulletin about the robbery that took place on
fluorescent at the liquor store. And it was at this location that the confrontation took place. Now, as you know, the Police Officers have said that Michael Brown hit the Police Officer in the face and that Michael Brown was somewhere on top of the Police Officer struggling for his gun. What is going to be significant about this is if there was an actual struggle for the gun, there should be some d. N. A. On that weapon. And im sure that thats what Law Enforcement is trying to show. Now, but there was another version of this. And it was a version that was given by Dorian Johnson. That is that Michael Brown was never in the police car, that the Police Officer pulled up parallel to him and reached through the window and grabbed Michael Brown by the collar. There was some confrontation there. The Police Officer pulls the gun and shoots Michael Brown. Michael brown then takes off running. Now, thats what we have been led to believe whenMichael Brown took off running, it had to have been at least a few feet back here because from what we have been told, the Police Officer was racing or running after Michael Brown. And the Police Officer in running after Michael Brown shot Michael Brown as we know now, at least six times. And it took place in this area here. Ted, im curious. You know, being out on the scene is so different from looking at it on a tv screen or monitor. Did walking to the store to the shooting scene give you any new or different perspective . Anything occur to you . Well, yeah. Its surreal because you are able to make a determination of the distance from that liquor store to where Michael Brown was actually shot. You are able to kind of think about the amount of time it would have taken to get to that location. So, its very surreal goings to that scene you wonder about how and why this young man lost his life. You wonder who is telling the truth in this is the Law Enforcement officer justified in using his weapon or was Michael Brown a victim of the Law Enforcement officer . Those are the question marks. Its going to take some time but i think it will be ferreted out by the forensics in this case as well as actual witnesses. Is that the direction he would be walking if he were going to his home . Is there anything unusual about the area that he was walking in . Is this sort of a natural route . Well, thats interesting, greta. Because i have been told that in the area where Michael Brown was shot and killed that his grandmother lived in that area michael
brown was in his grandmothers house in that area where he was shot and killed. Are you learning anything about Michael Brown, anything that he was doing earlier in the day, even before he went to that store . Any new information about him . No. I havent been able to glean much information. We do know that he and Dorian Johnson were together the night before and that they were together just prior to going to that liquor store. So, they spent quite a bit of time together and i would assume Law Enforcement is talking to Dorian Johnson. All right. Are you meeting people from outside the area who arent from ferguson . Because we hear stories that outside agitators are coming. In you have met anyone . Absolutely. I have met numerous agitators. I have just about gotten to a confrontation with onage territory that i had that i spoke with. They are coming in by planes, buses and even by airplane. I met onage territory who just flew in hours ago. Again, you have got to wonder what are they up to . I can tell you that this thing is getting to bigger than Michael Brown. Ted, if you will stay with us, we will be back in a minute. Police are understandably on edge. Fox news correspondent mike tobin is live in ferguson. Mike, what is going on now . The whole thing has taken out a routine. Almost identical repeat of what i saw yesterday. Here is the crowd of demonstrators, really about the same size as we saw yesterday they are walking it off. Marching around in a circle. Right about the same size of the crowd that we saw about this time yesterday. So, if everything is going to follow the pattern, we are going to see the crowd grow until night fall when the atmosphere changes. Thats how it goes every night. The businesses, reds barbecue has been out for nine days now, cannot reopen under the circumstances. So they have got the sign that says we will be back. The aggravating factor out here today is the fact that there was another Police Shooting, not that far away with st. Louis metro ph. D. With a knife wielding suspect. The people out here in the crowd they know it, they have a version of that story in which the shooting was unjustified. What i havent seen though is a big angry flare up with this crowd in association with that information. Greta . You know, mike, at night when i watch it, is the police push the protesters out of the street or the protesters go into the street, is that sort of the line of demarcation where they collide . Well, as far as whats going on now the police just keep them moving. They are supposed to be more on the sidewalk and let the traffic go in the center. There comes a point in the evening where the police will block traffic and then they will march through the center of the street. And then whenever they congregate. Whenever they stop and loiter, the police will come and they will break up that group thats standing around. Now, later, as it later, as it gets dark and gets a little more aggressive, youll have the people in the street and thats when they form up a line and kind of confront the police. There is shouting back and forth right now. And of all of the people who got arrested yesterday, only four of them were from ferguson. Mike, if i just want to stand on the sidewalk, with three of my friends, is that something the police wont permit . You have actually got to keep moving . They will move you along with three of your friends. If you refuse to move you
will be put in zip ties and move away. Whats the reason for not letting people stand there if he they are on the sidewalk and not doing anything else . I have seen this in big demonstrations before. It seems to be a crowd control technique. If you want to march, come on and walk it off. I think the technique seems to be just to wear people out. If you keep them moving, they wont hang around as long. If you keep them moving, marching. Go ahead. For our First Amendment perspective, you can just stand there and congregate as long as you are not causing trouble but anyway, whatever. Mike, thank you very much. Good luck out there tonight. Thank you. And police say they came under heavy gunfire from angry crowds last night. In Response Police firing tear gas and flash grenades at protesters. Griff general cibs reports from the streets of ferguson. [explosion ] things are straighting to break out. Its getting tense between
ferguson. The stand off you can see a bottle almost landing right here. We see the trucks moving up. The trucks clearly preparing to move in on these protesters media is being told. Disperse immediately or you are will be subject to arrest. Do it now. Waving at someone to get on the ground. They singled him out. Stay there, dutch. And they circled him. He is on the ground now. Rifles pointed. [sirens] [chanting] what are we doing this for . Mike brown. Say it again. Mike brown. Right now. Break down. Hands up. Dont shoot. [siren] anyone who has been at these protests understands there is a dangerous dynamic in the night. It allows a small number of violent agitators to hide in the cro
