central nervous system causing paralysis in death in extreme cases. in the united states, there was a growing anger following a police shooting of an anomaly. black woman in the state of illinois authorities released this body cam footage showing the moments leading to the fatal shooting. the woman, 36 year old sonya massey has called no no 911 to report a suspected intruder. 2 deputies responded. one of them told massey to check on a pot of boiling water. he then told her to drop the pot of hot water and shot her . he's been charged with murder but you know, i want justice for my baby. yeah. the
5:07 am
we can now speak to constitutional law professor gloria brown, marshall from the john jay college of criminal justice in new york. so we just somebody came footage of this latest scaling and to be frank, this some of the most shocking i've ever seen. what exactly if anything, can we learn from it? as we can learn that we have police officers who have a great deal of power and they are using excessive force against on arms billions. yes, she had a pot of boiling water. he told her to go to the stove to pick up the pot. she was dealing with mental illness. and that is a difficult situation for anyone, especially those of law enforcement called to a stranger's home. but the use of deadly force is only under law to be used when an officer face is deadly force. he knew there was no deadly force. there was no weapon that she was hiding. it was a pot of scalding water. he could have stepped back out of the way of the pot of
5:08 am
scalding water. instead he chose to shoot her number of times one of those bullets to the face and told her in advance he was going to shoot her in the face. what we see in united states is abuse of power by law enforcement in ever growing numbers. over 1200 people had been killed by law enforcement just this year. civilians killed by law enforcement shot by law enforcement this year. 10000 people almost since 2015. and the only reason why we know this is because the washington post washington posts newspaper keeps the data. we don't even have clear data from the f b on of the government sources. we have to have media, keep the data for us to keep up with a number of people who have been killed by police. so we have a situation that is out of control and continues to be out of control. and we need national criminal justice reform. this isn't truly shocking numbers. it's hard enough to think of the murder of george floyd were watching this video. and is this
5:09 am
a race relations issue that we're seeing in this case, or you've already alluded to to a certain extent. is this a more broader issue of training and general police culture? and these are for us, as i would say, is someone who writes about legal history and history generally regarding race, that this is a race issue. but it's also an issue that this country has been grappling with for central fries. and we need to understand that even before the united states was formed, law gave white people the power to kill people of african descent and native americans, wisdom community. there was a lot, there would be no felony conviction following the killing of a person of african descent. this was the law from the 1600s. and so we had been living century after century with the ability for a white people to kill people calling with infinity. and then on top of that,
5:10 am
we have law enforcement that sometimes we not even sure what their racial mindset is, but they seem to find a restraint when it comes to wifes with mental illness, we comes with the wives for arms. and yet when it comes to people of color, particularly african americans, they, they fire and fear for their lives, they fire their weapons with impunity and fear for their lives. and so we have to say that there's a race based component to this. we also have to say that it's not just training this, this young man, 30 years old, had already worked at at least. * 5 police departments during the since may of 2023. so during the short of one and a half year period, you'd already worked with 5 police departments. obviously, it wasn't training. that was a problem. she was the problem. so we have race issues. we have people who are going from department to department with their own racial bias and they're able to
5:11 am
play out their racial bias. i think the last component is the fact that prosecutors are not profit you and as often as they should, in this case, we have a prosecutor who's actually asked for an indictment, received the and i miss of this man. he is charged with 1st degree murder and aggravated assault. unfortunately, 1st degree, murder is so difficult, so difficult to prove. so that's even laughable. i won't say laughable because 1st degree murder says it has to be intent to the crime. so we're probably going to see a trial in which he found not guilty of 1st degree murder, and then then perhaps is found guilty to have a far lesser charge. so the criminal justice system is at fault as well. and that's the 3rd component that most people aren't looking at. well, it sounds like based on what you're saying that we're looking at a complete failure of oversight and the american justice system. so if i may ask, how can that be reformed to ensure that this type of these type of incidence um stop having, you know, become much more rare as well as you mentioned,
5:12 am
the murder of george floyd in may of 2020, triggered a lot of protests it also triggered legislation, that's why they were wearing body cameras because of the protests that it taking place in this country. and also the legislation that was proposed to george floyd justice and policing act, which would have national criminal justice reform. that legislation or proposed legislation is languishing and congress. that's one thing that i think the general public is going to ask of whoever the next president united states is, especially if his problem layers of the color that she make sure that that legislation is passed. that she does everything and in her power to pass legislation, that reforms or criminal justice system. but we also have to put pressure on our prosecutors. as i stated this one case and in george floyd was there was a special prosecutor brought in. but there are 1200 cases where of the prosecutors
5:13 am
in those cases across the country. so we must have pressure on our prosecutors to actually do their jobs, as rarely as they would prosecute someone who is a civilian, who would commit the same crime against another civilian. we have to have them prosecute the police who are so often killing on arms civilians with impunity and profit tutors doing nothing about it. not even seeking a documents, let alone i'm bringing charges and in cases against these people. in the last one i have to make when there is a, a civil case brought that little case that's not criminal. nothing comes out of the pocket of a police officer in a civil case. tax payer money pays the victim's family. in the case of police involved, civilian shooting. when is found that the person's rights were violated, not the police officers paycheck if the tax payers paycheck. so we have to have a way and that sends a message to police officers. they can not commit these crimes with impunity,
5:14 am
and profit tutors must do their jobs. so right. i'm afraid to have to leave it there and that was law professor, gloria brown, marshall from the john jay college of criminal justice in new york. thank you very much for speaking with us. to the 1st black marsh totaled to be addison captivity is offering hope for the endangered reptile. here's one that hash and cambodia named after his parents were rescued from illegal traders. like mars turtle is a fresh water reptile, native to southeast asia. right now, this baby is just sick, centimeters long ways around 40 grams. is being looked after by conservationist until it's full. it's big enough to be released into the wild. and with fat, you're up to date, but to stick around off next, our business program looks in indonesia and it's potentially become a global economic powerhouse as after a short break. and remember,
