it put the spotlight on bob mccullough, and he was accused of bias. the department of justice agreed with his findings saying darren wilson shot brown in defense. we sat with mccullough yesterday, the first time he has spoken to the national media since the department issued reports? >> i have avoided talking to allow, not because i'm concerned about the media, but a big part department. >> the d.o.j. report sides with you, that he never said "hands up, don't shoot." do you feel vindicated? >> i never felt incriminated. there was no need to feel vindicated. we knew the department of justice had what we had. other than a witness that popped up in mid-february. there was nothing in their report that wasn't in their hands on november 24th, when they came out with that finding, it was not a surprise. it would have been helpful to have it earlier than 100 days when the grand jury heard the determination. >> it may not have eliminated the beens we had that night. it may not have held them down. it couldn't have hurt. i can't come up with a ran why it would

bob mccullough says williams admitted to firing the shots that hit the officers. >> he has acknowledged participation in firing the shots. he did fire the shots that struck the two officers. >> now a protester and local religious activist derrick robinson said he met with williams in jail. williams' story according to robinson is the shots were fired in self defense. he never intended to hit the cops. >> he said the protestors were trying to rob him. he said if he could have shared with us that the leaders out there law enforcement he should have netlet us knew that so we could have his back. >> bob mccullough saying he is not buying that story. robinson also says he doesn't believe him. there was a debate underway whether williams was a part of the movement. ainsley? >> mike tobin live in ferguson. thank you mike. all 31,000 deleted e-mails were thoroughly read. the point not made in the fact sheet she previously released. quote we simply took for granted that reading every single e-mail came across as the most important fundamental and exhaustive step that was performed. the fact shee

i spoke earlier with bob mccullough the prosecuting attorney for st. louis county. thank you for being here with us. the accusation was you tanked it you intentionally tanked it before that grand jury. your chance now to respond. >> well, there's a lot of obviously hyperbole and rhetoric in there in the speech by mr. sharpton. and a lot of misstatements of fact and law. my obligation which either he doesn't understand a lot of people didn't or they choose to ignore is my obligation is to present all of the information to the grand jury, all the evidence to the grand jury, which is what we did in this case. >> what did you make of the role that folks like al sharpton played? he went out there and said and we've played it on the show repeatedly that officer wilson was in no fear of his own life in that altercation. >> well you know, he can say that but there's no basis for saying that. of course that's how he makes his livelihood. that is his livelihood is taking those sorts of positions with no basis in fact or reality. my job what we try to do is not be bothered by

in its first nationally televised interview since the department of justice report city prosecutor bob mccullough issued this warning. >> if you can't provide the services then you shouldn't be in business. you got to do something because you owe that, that is the soul purpose of government is to serve the people. >> in st. louis county, where ferguson is located along with 90 other small municipalities, each one struggles to find a way to pay for local services for their citizens. there are many in the community who say all these towns and cities would be better to merge and pool their resources. in nearby st. george for example, voters agreed they elected a mayor in 2011 who then went about dismantling the city and merging it with the st. louis county administration. the mayor said st. george was nothing but a quote speed trap it was illegal immoral and policing for profit, end quote. the state representative courtney curtis says the police department should be disbanded and the nearby town of normandy should take over policing. representative ferguson is not working for you and othe

louis county prosecuting attorney bob mccullough says he is not sure he believes the suspects story. tips from the public helped lead to his arrest. and they want to hear from anyone who may have more information. >> we cannot do this by ourselves. we have to have the ability to engage the public to which we can work together and make it happen. >> reporter: police say they informed the two officers about the arrest. both have left the hospital and home recovering with their families. >>> two los angeles police officers are recovering after being hurt by gunfire last night. the plain clothed officers were driving in south los angeles when someone started shooting. the officers shot back. the swat team was called back. the two police officers only had minor injuries. police detained several people. they are still looking for at least two others. >>> also new this morning a new round of nuclear negotiations. secretary of state john kerry is in switzerland. representatives from russia, great britain, china, france, and germany are also there. there is a march 31st deadline. >>> the fede

. >> so the country prosecutor bob mccullough said that the suspect was a protestor. do you agree with that? do you have any idea who the person is? >> i'd never seen him before. the people i talked to nobody i know talked to him. there's a protestor that has gone on tv and twitter saying he saw him. there's probably two people i know that said they saw him for the first time. people are asking if this was an attempt to discredit the movement. it has been against violence. we have been explicitly against police killing black people. it's been antiviolence. >> what next. >> protests will continue as they have. i'm happy we have uncovered the lie belmar told before and we can learn about the motives and shooters. we have the six resignations. the two most high profile being the up to manager and the police -- town manager and the police chief. they got severence packages hoping to get rid of mayor knowles. today is the 219th day of protest, i don't think it will stop soon. >> a conversation on ferguson. turning to other news. tuesday is an election day. with one day lef

we will be even giving wisdom to him moving ahead but even in my rebuttal to bob mccullough stating he was active protester, as a lead organizer in the protest movement, he had not been a protester. he was actually coming out that afternoon to see what was going on, but he had never protested before so we wanted to make sure that the narrative of our story is not given to be and be painted as a black eye to our community because that's not who we are. >> back to his motive here, back to his motive, did you ask him if he was targeting the police that night? >> well, we can't say that was his motive because we don't know. only person that knows that story -- >> did you ask him. >> only person that knows that story is him. i don't think he had a negative motive at all. >> but when you were there with him in jail did you ask him if he was targeting the police department, police officers? >> well no, i didn't want to ask him that question i wanted to leave that to his attorney to ask him and address in a press conference. but while he was arrested -- go ahead. >> there was a report that he
