4:00 pm
has said, it looks disturbing. but you want to know more because if this officer is indeed, if he does anything wrong, you don't want him to get away with anything because you did not get all the information. you want to see everything in context. >> what if she said something nasty to him? >> guys, we're out of time. we'll continue to study the video, guys. thanks very much. don will have much more 10:00 p.m. tonight. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next. ben carson surging, the doctor double-digit lead over the donald. now trump is attacking. plus, video inside the raid that killed an american in iraq. you'll see what went down when u.s. special forces attempted to rescue isis prisoners facing execution. american staples, bacon and sausage, a new report says they cause cancer and we're all at risk. let's go "outfront."
4:01 pm
good evening, i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, ben carson on top. a new poll giving him a massive lead over donald trump, 32% to 18% in iowa. this is the third poll in as many days putting carson in the number one slot in that crucial state. and it has donald trump fighting mad. >> ben carson is a very low energy person. actually, i think ben carson is lower energy than jeb if you want to know the truth. we need strong energy. >> carson fighting back saying anyone who doesn't fear him doesn't know him. >> as a teenager, i would go after people with rocks and bricks and baseball bats and hammers, and of course many people know the story when i was 14 and i tried to stab someone. >> carson's got the momentum. is he now about to overtake trump on the national polls? sarah murray is "outfront" tonight.
4:02 pm
do you expect to see trump to come out even harder against carson now? >> i do think now that we've seen carson officially knock trump from his perch in iowa you can see a little bit more defensiveness from trump, more anger. he is clearly not afraid to go on the attack against carson, even targeting his religion. with less than 100 days until the iowa caucuses, the jostling in the gop ranks is taking on a sharper edge. >> carson is lower energy than bush. i don't get it! >> a new monmouth university poll gives dr. ben carson a double-digit lead in iowa, drawing 32% support compared to 18% for donald trump. >> i'm just going to have to work aittle bit harder in iowa. i was very surprised to see the numbers. >> reporter: carson, the newly minted iowa front-runner, revealing his rougher edges, saying when he was a teenager -- >> i would go after people with rocks and bricks and baseball bats and hammers, and of course many people know the story when i was 14 and i tried to stab
4:03 pm
someone. you know, fortunately, my life has been changed and i'm a very different person now. >> carson recently told erin burnett he still has a lot of fire inside of him. >> you've conquered your demons, but is there anything that fires you up? i mean, that young man who could do those things, that person is still in there, right? >> well, i may be fired up. i may just not look like i'm fired up. >> but it's the softer carson that's winning over evangelicals. now trump is taking aim at carson's religion. >> i'm presbyterian. boy, that's down the middle of the road, folks, in all fairness. i mean, seventh day adventist i don't know about. i just don't know about. >> meanwhile, jeb bush who just cut payroll costs by 40% across the board -- >> blah blah blah blah blah. >> you know what they're saying out there. >> that's my answer, blah blah blah. watch it. >> no longer able to hide his
4:04 pm
frustration with the state of the race. >> i've got a lot of really cool things that i could do other than sit around being miserable listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. that is a joke. elect trump if you want that. >> today bush's rallying donors at a texas retreat as he tries to reassure them the race will soon break his way. >> but trump continues to hammer him, mocking bush for turning to his family members for help. >> so he's meeting now with mom and dad. no, it's true. he needs counsel. >> now, donors at that houston event today tell me they still believe that jeb bush's moment will come, and he did in fact get a little help from his brother george w. bush today who made the pitch to donors that they need to pick a republican nominee who can win latino voter hes. he says his brother jeb is that guy, erin. >> thank you very much, sarah. outfront now, our political
4:05 pm
comment ator ben ferguson, also political strategist ory cooper and wes moss a trum of p supporter. ory, let me start with you. you have a double digit gap in favor of ben carson. two other polls show carson on top in iowa. are these really signs that trum is done or not? >> well, there's three things, erin. first thing is, iowa has traditionally been favorable ground for conservatives who appeal to the social conservative wing and insurging candidates. look at rick santorum. the second thing is we have a debate this wng week. we've seen shuffling after the degaits. rubio and fiorina often benefit from that. i think at the end of the week we may see different numbers. but the third thing is, listen, donald trump does not benefit when there is a -- trump benefits from a media vacuum. he needs attention devoted to him. when there's other news, other candidates are able to make their case, donald trump tends to suffer in those consequences. i think that's what you're
4:06 pm
seeing. when donald trump isn't in the news there's really not much to talk about and he falls in the polls. >> there's two sides to this, wes. first, this one. no one has won the white house without the iowa caucus since bill clinton n. 1992. that argues iowa make and break and these polls really matter. >> i think it's the opposite. if you look at the numbers, if you're a non-incumbent republican, erin, you have a better chance of winning the gop not winning iowa. we've got to look at the past here. you've got to look at mitt romney did not win iowa. ronald reagan didn't win iowa. mccain didn't win iowa. h.w. bush didn't win iowa. they all got the nomination. i think there's an overemphasis that iowa is this golden goose when in modern-day politics especially for nonincumbent republicans it doesn't really mean that much. you do have to be in the top three or four in order to have a good shot.
4:07 pm
>> rory? >> except the difference is that donald trump's entire campaign is prefaced on the idea that he's winning in the polls. if he comes out losing the first contest, that entire premise is gone. i don't know what he fills his other half of his speech where he doesn't talk about his leading. that's the premise of his campaign. >> that's the biggest screwup he's had so much, erin. if you're donald trump and you act like you're going to lead every poll, win everything all the time, when you do start to fall, it is a bigger deal than if you're up and down and up and down or tight race. ben carson has played this brilliantly. he has not said or gloated about polls. you rarely hear him talk about the poll numbers. donald trump you hear about it every time he walks up on stage. if he loses early, you could see a massive momentum fall from him and his supporters and others that were thinking about him. and i think the only person he can blame is himself for honestly being so cocky and
4:08 pm
arrogant for so long in this campaign. >> about polls. >> yeah. limit yourself. >> rory, there's one thing that wes pointed out that's fair. we're talking about the importance of iowa in terms of who wins the white house. but in terms of who wins the gop nomination, it hasn't been that important. in fact, it's been wrong. you look at the past couple of times, as wes points out. and look at trump in the next two states that vote after iowa, 26-point lead in the state of new hampshire and 17-point lead in the state of south carolina. now, we all get momentum, right? it can all shift around, move around. >> that's right. >> but the point is, he could still pull off a win without winning iowa. >> well, of course he could. any candidate could. but it gets exponentially harder for a candidate when he doesn't really have a case to make on why he's going to be president. you look back at rudy giuliani versus hillary clinton, the campaign everyone thought was coming. herman cain was leading at this time four years ago. so of course we're looking at momentum, what's going to happen in iowa. i think that if donald trump comes out losing iowa i don't
4:09 pm
really know what the point of his candidacy at that point is. i think you see a deep dive as other candidates pile on to somebody who can't make a win. what else is he going to talk about at that point? >> wes? >> it's so humerus that all of these pundits have continued to predict the demise of donald trump. this is the first day in the sun for pundits to try to see trump fall. just because he loses in iowa or doesn't win iowa, it doesn't mean he's going to lose in iowa. it will be interesting for another candidate to have full scrutiny on him if, in fact, carson wins. now we're good to have to really learn what his policies are. >> but you have to admit, though, from a donald trump perspective, when winning is everything all the time, he set the bar higher than any other candidate in modern political history to wipe the floor with everyone else. when you talk about other candidates, about how they have to go talk to their mom and dad, by the way, former president of the united states of america, not a bad person to get advice from, and you mock him, when you
4:10 pm
mock ben carson who may beat you in the first state, when you do those things, you set yourself up for the other headline to be, donald trump's campaign is unraveling. donald trump cannot finish the game. donald trump runs out of steam or gasoline. that is the headline. and there's no one he can blame for that but himself. if he was smart, he would have limited himself and said, i'm shocked by this, i'm so happy this is going on. but it's a long campaign and it's going to take a lot of time and it's many months until we vote and we've got a long way to go. but donald trump, because of his arrogance, never went there. >> wes, what about the point, though, that he has made. we see these live events of donald trump giving stump speeches and it doe start with the polls and him listing alled polls he's number one in. that's part of the stock stump speech. you have t admit that's a problem for him. >> i agree. but part of this, erin, is america wants a winner. donald trump is not afraid to be be a winner, and he -- when he
4:11 pm
does win -- >> you but he's not winning. >> neither is ben carson. is that really something -- >> let wes finish. >> i think what will be fantastic to see for the trump campaign, when they are back on their heels a little bit, to see the fight that trum much hp has. >> the problem is, that's when donald trump becomes an average politician, when he starts rationalizing why he's going to lose here, why he has to focus here. let's not forget that between now and iowa you're going to see some candidate favored by the broader republican party start to emerge, whether that's marco rubio, carly fiorina or jeb bush. >> and that person will be able to -- >> at some point, your campaign has to be more than just about winning and making america great again. >> right. >> it has to be about substance. >> thanks very much to all three of you. "outfront" next, marco rubio rising in the polls. in an exclusive interview, taking on donald trump and his one-time friend and mentor jeb bush.
4:12 pm
that's next "outfront." plus an american commando killed during this raid on isis in i q iraq. >> and the good stuff, bacon, hot dogs, ham and sausage. guess what, a new report says they could be giving you cancer. ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪

4:14 pm
wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease. pneumococcal pneumonia. if you are 50 or older, one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. even if you have already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13® may help provide additional protection. prevnar 13® is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. common side effects were pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. get this one done. ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13® today.
4:15 pm
tonight, jeb bush's campaign bashing marco rubio, the florida senator is rising in the polls and bush campaign advisers are using a powerpoint presentation that tells donors, quote, marco is a gop obama. just like obama, rubio is running for president as a first-term senator and just like obama at this point in the race he's trailing badly in the polls but gaining momentum. so can he keep it up? rubio sat down with our special correspondent jaime gangal for an exclusive interview. >> if we start paying attention to these polls in october,
4:16 pm
you'll go crazy. i've been up, been down. >> but you're the sitting senator in florida. >> it's a very unusual year. i think part of it is people are really angry about the direction of the country. >> here's the good news for marco rubio. democrats say you're the triple threat, that you're the young new fresh face, that you're great in the debate, that you are hispanic and you put florida into play. >> thank you! >> so why is it taking you so long to get traction? >> first of all, none of those things matter. that's just campaign talk. politics today is covered almost like sports. you watch these teams they have a really good game, they're the top team in the world. the next week they have a bad game, it's disaster. that's not the way the campaigns work. >> the way the rubio campaign works is not glam rusz. behind the scenes he races from event to event, trying to raise money, trying to inch up in the polls, and taking on donald trump. >> at the trump event, there were protesters on immigration, and at the end trump said, i'm
4:17 pm
going to win with hispanics. i love the hispanics. what do you think when you hear him say things like that/. >> it's donald being donald. that's what it is. >> he is the front-runner, though, and he hi hits you and over and over again. he says you're weak on immigration. is he more in tune with the republican party on this issue than you are? >> no. his rhetoric is a little louder. but if you think about where he was six months ago, his position on immigration six months ago is nothing like what he's saying now. even what he's saying now borders on absurd. he's going to deport all these people and let the good ones back in. his plan makes no sense. >> jeb bush says donald trump has dangerous views on national security. are you comfortable with the idea of donald trump be his finger on the button? >> well, i wouldn't term it that way. i would say that ultimately the next president of the united states on their first day in office must understand the threats that face this country and must have shown good judgment about what to do about
4:18 pm
those issues. >> are you comfortable -- >> the truth is is, as i said in the debates the last time on cnn, i don't believe that up to this point in the campaign he has clearly outlined a deep understanding of the issues before this country in a serious way. and obviously he has time to change that. we have more debates coming up. >> so right now he's not ready to be commander in the chief. >> at this point in the campaign he has not proven an understanding of the issues or preparation necessary to be commander of chief in the most powerful military force in the world. >> if he's the nominee, would you enthusiastically support him? >> i'm going to support the republican nominee. i'm confident it's not going to be trump and i feel increasingly confident it's going to be me. >> let's talk about jesh. the two of you both say you're friends. we went back and looked at your victory night november 2, 2010, when he introduced you. he said that you were the man for our time. >> bushes get emotional so i'm going to try my hardest.
4:19 pm
my wife has told me, don't cry. don't cry. but marco rubio makes me cry for joy. >> i'm not sure anyone quite believes the friendship is still warm anymore. what is the state of your relationship? >> not on our part it isn't. i'm running for president. i'm not running against jeb or anyone else in this race. >> so if someone said, look, jeb was your friend, he was your mentor, he helped you get elected, he helped you raise money. some might say this is a betrayal. couldn't you have waited for another election? >> well, i don't see the presidency that way. i don't think there's a line where we all wait and just hand the presidency off to each other because you've paid your dues. i'm running for president because i don't see anyone else on either side who's campaigning on the agenda and the views i have. i don't view the presidency as some sort of honor ifk office that you just step aside and let someone else move forward. this is not that kind of thing.
4:20 pm
we are to move forward in this country and turn the page. >> let's turn the corner. you want people to get to know you better. favorite book? >> ever. look, i think the bible is the most extraordinary document ever written. >> second favorite book. >> that's a great question. one i enjoy is the one about churchill, i think it's called "the last lion". >> bright side, favorite movies. >> some of them are not for kids to watch. i love godfather numbers one and two. i could do without three. >> i liked three. >> i like andy garcia. one and two were fantastic. i loved bu ed pulp fiction. wedding kraeshs one of the funniest movies ever. >> i saw his jaw when you asked him about possible betrayal of jeb bush. clearly it's personally emotional. what else did you learn about him on the personal side in p of he was not a great student in high school, to put it nicely. i would say he was a late bloomer, which meant that his
4:21 pm
teacher -- he was so disruptive in school he had a teacher that bribe bribed him not to come to class. she said, if you don't come, i'll give you a c-minus. if you come, i'll give you an "f." but you know what? he turned it around in college. i give him a lot of credit for that. he said when he had to start paying for school, all of a sudden he woke up and paid attention. >> that's an interesting thing. on the other issue of paying for school, all in, a broader policy, jamie will stay with me. i want to bring in our executive editor for politics, mark preston. watching the interview with marco rubio. as we said, slow and steady rise in the polls, a little way to go. could he win this nomination? when you watch him and how he handled those questions in that interview, do you think he has what it takes to get to the top? >> no question about it. marco rubio when he first ran for the senate was the outside. he was not the republican establishment's pick. he went against the grain. i remember the first time i met him, erin. i said, why don't you just run for attorney general, wait your turn, a very similar question he
4:22 pm
got about challenging bebb e jeb bush. he said, i'm not going to wait my turn. this what i want to do and what i'm going to do. he ended up winning and taking out a popular governor. if you look at the polls right now, ben carson and donald trump are leading. if you are to go down and see the next set of candidates, it's jeb bush, marco rubio and ted cruz. i think that's the set you really need to look at heading into february and march. >> and who could rise if anything changes at the top. jaime, to the point about this relationship with jeb bush, it is so crucial because it doesn't just go to a relationship between two human beings that everyone is interested in. it goes to what kind of person is marco rubio, is he loyal? is he a betrayer? does he have sharp elbows? do he do the right thing? now jeb bush coming out against marco rubio with the powerpoint presentation, marco rubio a gop obama. how nasty will this get? >> they've been doing a gentle dance where they don't mention each other by name but they sort of say things about each other.
4:23 pm
and i think that is going to change because jeb has said now -- i spoke to sources very close to the campaign -- that there is a new strategy. the gloves are coming off. they're tearing up the play sheet. they're going to start again. and you're going to see a much more outspoken jeb bush, which we'll see what happens in the debate on wednesday night. >> right. >> but marco rubio is in his lane. if jeb wants to get in front of him. >> mark, to your point, they're running neck and neck. what's also amazing to it, if you were to see some sort of fight between jeb and marco, that could take some of the air out of everyone always watching donald trump. the american people want to see some fighting. >> oh, certainly. and i think you have to start to wonder, will americans start to tire of donald trump? erin, if you're looking ahead and if you are to see the first four nominating states to go to different people, someone wins
4:24 pm
iowa, someone different wins new hampshire, someone different in south carolina, someone different wins nevada, well, where does the focus then shift? it focuses on a state such as texas on march 1st. but arguably a more important state is florida, which is holding its primary on the 15th of march. that's a winner-take-all. whoever wins that state gets 99 delegates, a huge treasure trove if you're trying to win the nomination. >> a treasure trove where you see two men fighting it out in the ditches. thank you to both of you, mark and jamie. thank you for that exclusive interview. next, video of a u.s. raid in isis. we'll go in the prison and show you exactly what happened during that deadly operation. it's incredible footage. and the head of the fbi saying violent crime is on the rise in part because cops of afraid of doing their jobs, causing backlash. an "outfront" investigation is ahead. estmen through good times and bad. for over 75 years,

breaking news at this moment. a major budget deal in washington. republican and democratic leaders have agreed to raise the debt ceiling. this deal would avoid a
4:29 pm
potential debt default on november 3rd. the debt ceiling is going up and the agreement could be voted on as early as wednesday, the same day house republicans are expected to nominate congressman paul ryan to be the speaker of the house. final details on the deal being ironed out of the wasn'ted to get that straight to you. no last-minute countdown there. tonight, we also have dramatic new video of u.s. commandos in the middle of an isis prison raid. you can hear gun fire as troops lead hostages to safety. officials say that the commandos saved the prisoners from mass execution. but an american soldier was killed in the raid, and jim sciutto is "outfront" with the new details tonight. >> reporter: isis-held prisoners running for their lives, freed from the terror group in a joint raid. new helmet cam video shows the raid in northern iraq thursday that led to america's first combat death since 2011. delta force special operators alongside kurdish cobra commandos seen here checking
4:30 pm
hostages for weapons or suicide vests. inside an isis flag hangs on the wall. then the pop, pop, pop of gunfire as prisoners, some bloodied, flee the burning compound. later, after the soldiers and hostages are clear, a u.s. war plane bombs the compound into rubble. isis released video it says shows the resulting damage. the deadly battle was the first time u.s. forces have directly engaged isis fighters on the ground in iraq. the hostages thought to be in imminent danger of execution after u.s. surveillance showed mass graves had been dug. the freed prisoners saying they were said to be executed after morning prayers thursday said the pentagon. five helicopters brought in nearly 30 u.s. forces and kurdish droops. the u.s. forces weren't supposed to directly join the fire fight. but when kurdish soldiers were overwhelmed, the u.s. joined.
4:31 pm
master sergeant joshua wheeler was killed. his remains were greeted at dover air force base by ash carter and mark milly. asked by cnn friday if u.s. forces were now in combat in iraq, secretary carter said to expect more raids. >> we have this capability. it is a great american strength. >> a great american strength. there is a reason why defense secretary carter said those words. he made clear he is committed to missions like this. they're called advise and assist missions but that assistance sometimes includes combat. we saw that in this raid. i'll tell you, erin, there are others in the pentagon who are pushing for a more forward fighting role for u.s. forces on the ground, forward ground control, air strikes, military advisers. that decision remains with the president, though. >> jim, thank you. now i want to go straight to former cia operative bob bear and former cia terror official. good to have both of you with me. bob, let's look at this video
4:32 pm
again i. want to show a couple of scenes. here we are inside a room. raid on this isis prison from the helmet cam. what stands out the most to you? >> what i see there is american tactics. these are kurdish forces undoubtedly they were trained by delta. the kurds don't have a hostage rescue force. they didn't have one before delta showed up in the north. the tactics are very good. they're very disciplined. they probably use flash bang grenades rather than fragmentation grenades. it was a successful raid in that they got the 70 people out. whether they hit the right target or not, that's something else. >> phil, let me show you another point in the video when the soldiers are trying to basically get everyone out of a room. you can see them all leading some of the prisoners out here. it appears very chaotic. >> sure, it is. if you look at executing a target like this, let me give you two steps in executing this target that help you understand why we lost an american citizen.
4:33 pm
number one -- people are asking about whether u.s. forces should be engaged in this -- the special operations guys from delta force are sitting around with kurds at the operating base before they execute the raid. and the kurds are saying, we're going to go try to protect 70 people and to prevent them from being killed tomorrow morning. are you with us or not? what do you say in that situation, erin? if you're partnered with the kurds, you say no? secondly, you get to the raid, and the mission for the delta force guys is not to get involved in the operation. they're supposed to be on aid and assist. and all of a sudden the operation starts to go south. what do you say afterwards if the kurds start to die, we weren't with you? or we decided to engage in the raid? i know this looks simple from the outside. it was u.s. forces engaged. but this is a difficult mission. >> right. certainly a difficult mission, bob, but again to the point of the secretary of defense saying american service members aren't serving in a combat role in iraq. this appears to be combat and at that point very chaotic combat,
4:34 pm
right, going into a rescue mission for 70 people, you don't know who they are, what nationality they are. they didn't know anything. >> exactly. i think they hit the wrong target. they meant to rescue kurds. but the fact is they came in on american helicopters. they were taken in the same helicopters, took them out. we are back at war. now, whether it's advisable or nothing depends on who you ask. i think we should be sending soldiers in with some sort of political plan and if there's a plan to deal with iraq, i certainly haven't heard it. i have no doubt about the capabilities of delta force. best fighting force in the world as i've said. but without a political plan out there, we're going to be in trouble. >> phil, how does someone make the argument that this is not mission creed? we've been told american forces aren't going to be in combat. you lay out a very compelling case. you're on the ground with your partners. they ask you for help. what do you say? even if the right answer is yes, if you're going to make that argument, how do you not say it's mission creed? >> to me, it's pretty
4:35 pm
straightforward. when we were full force in iraq, we had 150,000-plus forces engaged in trying to take territory from the insurgents. now we have the iraqis in the lead and we're saying, when you need assistance, when you need training, when you need on the ground aid and assist like in this operation, we will support you. we went from a situation where american forces were running the point for operations in iraq to where american forces are providing the assistance. i think there's a fundamentally different approach that the americans have taken, and that is we're not going to run point anymore. you are. but if you need assistance periodically, we'll provide it. >> thanks very much to both of you. of course now the american public has to come to terms again directly with the fact that it could mean american deaths on the ground in iraq. tonight a look at americas involvement in iraq and the chaos left behind. tonight at 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. "outfront" next, crime up, the number of police recruits down. the fbi director says this is partly because people don't like cops in this country.
4:36 pm

4:42 pm
>> saying it to the whole world and really giving credibility to what they're saying. the white house is not happy with the director's comments. there's no question about that. i mean, here's spokesman josh earnest today. >> i haven't spoken to the president about it, and i don't know if director comey has communicated those views to the president directly. i will say that the available evidence at this point does not support the notion that law enforcement officers around the country are shying away from fulfilling their responsibilities. >> is director comey reacting to those comments tonight? >> no, he's not yet, erin. but one of the things that he a's saying here is simply we want to have a conversation about whether or not all of these viral videos and all this pressure on police is causing at least in some places some officers to not do the things they normally do, get out of their cars and initiate some of
4:43 pm
these stops. that's the question he's asking. he said, look, the jury is out. we'll see what the numbers are. we'll see whether or not the crime numbers hold up later on. but he certainly says he doesn't want to wait to find out. >> all right, thank you very much, evan perez reporting live from chicago. and this really isn't a problem just for cops already on the street. police departments across the united states now are struggling to find new recruits. >> reporter: the los angeles police academy where the next generation of cops learn how and when to fire. high-speed pursuit tactics. and takedown moves on armed suspects. >> suspect, put your handzus up! >> reporter: a tough job, recruit officer asia hardy longs to wear the badge, even if others around her don't support her career choice. >> i think it's not as easy for

recruits, potential recruits, are you hearing them mention news events? >> sure. that's one of the first questions. they want to know, why should i be a police officer when all of these bad things are going on? why should i put myself at risk? >> reporter: coupled with relatively low pay and tough entrance standards and that chance that they could be hurt or killed. this is a hard sell, especially for women and minorities. but not for asia hardy. she wants to improve not just her community but how others view her and her brothers in blue. >> despite all of the backlash law enforcement is getting, this is a personal choice of mine. this is my passion. despite this happening, i'm going forward. >> reporter: a number of the police departments we've spoken with say it's not just public perception that's affecting applications. it's also the job market as well as the economy. they also say that thesecyclica is the bottom.
