peaceful. the peaceful fight for change is continuing across america this weekend. >> george floyd. >> reporter: 12th day of people filling streets with renewed calls for reform after george floyd's killing nearly two weeks ago. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> no justice. >> no peace. ♪ >> reporter: thousands of in north carolina paid their respects to george floyd on saturday. floyd died in minneapolis after a police officer had a knee to his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. >> there is no way in the world his life will not change the trajectory of racism from now on. >> we can quite literally lead the way in our nation, enacting more police reform than any other city in the entire country and we cannot fail. >> black lives matter. >> reporter: at least tens of thousands, it is estimated, participated in a series of

protests across washington, d.c. on saturday. the metropolitan d.c. spokesperson told cnn there were no arrests. this is the true space, a satellite image, the words black lives matter now fill two entire city blocks in washington, d.c. what is being called black lives matter plaza, which leads to the white house. d.c. mayor joined crowds in the plaza as they called for action. large crowds attended mostly peaceful protest rallies in philadelphia and chicago, massive crowds joined the spirited protests throughout los angeles too. >> we want people to help us carry this baton, stand by our side, and we want to take our allies and march toward the gates of racism and injustice and i don't think it stands a chance anymore. >> reporter: protesters also marched through a tunnel in l.a., car horns honking in unity. ♪ protesters could also be seen

demonstrators fighting for the black lives matter movement. >> this system is not going to win. the people have a voice now. they'll listen to us because we're united. thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people don't have to stand for injustice anymore! >> reporter: protesters for new york city and brooklyn streets late into the night despite the curfew here, rallying for justice in the name of george floyd. >> no peace. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> no justice. >> reporter: many of the protesters that we saw detained by the nypd in the last couple of days may not be prosecuted. in fact on friday manhattan's district attorney announced they'll drop any charges against some of those that were suspected and things like unlawful assembly or disorderly conduct, low level offenses. we should note suspected looters and vandals will not be on that list. as we heard from authorities here, they're hoping to limit some of those legal interactions

with some of these demonstrators to send that message to those that are protesting on the streets. >> polo sandoval from new york, thank you very much. >> thank you. so we have seen the images from the protests across the country. we hear from some of the protesters themselves. >> and a lot of them tell us this moment, this national global moment feels different and they talk about what they want after the demonstrations. >> i'm here because i think we all need to make a stand. we all need to do it collectively and silence is not the way to go with it. i think we all have to be proactive in our own right, whether it is out here in streets or it is spreading awareness or having hard conversations. i think it is a matter of picking a side and being proactive. >> i want to grow up in a world where they're not going to be stopped just because they're black. i want them to be able to have a good education.

i want them to go to the hospital and get the best care they can get. >> i felt the need to come out because my life matters. i feel that we still need to march and we still need to care, even though we already showed our support, we need to keep on pushing until actual change is done. >> county sheriff who spoke at the memorial service for george floyd in north carolina had a message for law enforcement. he said that they are part of the problem. >> he went on to talk about the pressures of policing as a black man in america. >> i dreamed about being a law enforcement officer ever since i was 10 years old. but that dream is now turning into a nightmare. you see, i found out, i realized if i deny all the wrong that law enforcement is doing today, i am denying the color of my skin.

and i won't do that. i am a black man. first. then law enforcement. you see, one thing that people got as a black officer, when our community looks at us, they look at two different directions. they look and they say, okay. they don't trust us because we're officers. they trust us -- the fear is real in the black community. let's be real about it. the fear is real. they don't trust the black officer because we're officers. but then they question our blackness. they ask us, how can you be part of something with all of this going on. can you see? are you blind? can you see what's going on? i'm going to keep it real. if there was four brothers that

threw a police officer on the ground, and put one of them -- one of them put their knee in his neck, in that officer's neck, and killed him on individuvideo while the other three stood around and flexed, there would have been a national manhunt for all four of them. there would have been a national manhunt for all four of them and they would have been arrested and charged with murder immediately. >> tomorrow there will be another public viewing service

for george floyd. this one in houston. >> want to bring in sheryl dorsey, retired police sergeant for los angeles police department. and author of "black and blue:: the creation of a social advocate." thank you for being with us. we appreciate getting your voice in all of this, sheryl. tell us, first of all, i want to get your reaction, you spent 20 years with the lapd. what is your reaction to what sheriff peterkin was saying there? >> i agree with what he said in part, certainly there would have been a manhunt if there were four black men holding down a white police officer, only they wouldn't have been arrested, they would have been killed on site. that's the difference. that's the two-tiered system of not only justice, but discipline within the police departments. so i concur that police officers who look like me should join black folks need to infiltrate police departments, much like the fbi has reported the kkk

have done and are doing. and unless and until there is police accountability, unless and until police unions are no longer able to throw copious amounts of money at politicians who then look the other way when communities request legislation to hold officers accountable, we're going to continue to go through this. >> let's talk about some more of the changes. we heard from new york city mayor bill de blasio yesterday, talking about acknowledging the problem and then setting a path forward. here's what he said has to change. >> we're addressing right now a deep concern, a deep set of concerns about policing, about structural racism, about the history of racism in policing and those are very real and well documented concerns and we have to keep weeding out that racism, we have to end that history. even though it hangs over us so heavily. that will take a better

disciplinary system, more transparen transparency, that will take better efforts to screen out officers who don't belong on the force, or remove officers who don't remove on the force. and that work will actually help us to move forward. >> nypd is a department of 36,000 officers. you were with a huge department, lapd. what does that take? give us the timing you expect and, you know, the mayor sets that tone, but the officers may not be bought in, the unions may not be bought in, moderate the expectation of when these changes will happen, if you would. >> let me say this, i think the mayor is being intellectually dishonest. he's saying we're looking at this right now. where the heck has he been. this is not a new phenomenon. this has been going on since the beginning of time. and let us not forget that there was an officer by the name of daniel pantaleo who said on their payroll for five years after he had choked eric garner

and was only fired, only fired, to be clear, because he was ineffective. according to the words of then commissioner james o'neil, he was ineffective. why? because the civilian review board determined that he lied. not because he used a prohibited choke hold, for months and years they tried to convince us we didn't see a prohibited choke hold. so why is it that police chiefs who serve at the pleasure of mayors who are elected officials, so you guys need to vote, are allowed to have officers like derek chauvin on their roles who have committed misconduct and received 18 personnel complaints and was on his way to 19 but for the death of george floyd. why do we have to wait until there is a death, a national viewing, if you will, of something before action is finally taken? this has happened time and time again. walter schrager, walter scott was shot and killed by walter schrager after he tased someone

inappropriately on two other occasions and it was until the death of walter scott that finally michael schrager was taken off the roles. they're being disingenuous when they clutch their pearls and pretend this is something new they just discovered. now, on this day, something different is going to happen. nothing different has happened. substanti substantively, since 2014. >> sergeant dorsey, we talk about what is happening in minneapolis and this call to defund the police, what does that say to you about what the future would look like if that happens? >> what it says to me is that those are words to placate the millennials because the millennials want to do away with police departments totally. and that's not going to happen. and so here in los angeles, our mayor talked about taking away millions of dollars from the police department and in so doing somehow makes it easier for police to file complaints --

for community members to file complaints. it makes no sense. they could do a couple of things real quick. they could create a safe zone for police officers to report misconduct by their peers, and they can remove the officers who have been identified by way of complaints, red flags, whatever you want to call it. if you can't fire them because of due process, put them on the desk. a police chief, a captain, a sergeant, a watch commander, can put an officer on a desk very easily and he doesn't have the skill set and temperament to be out among the public. >> sheryl dorsey, thank you for the insight and giving us some truth when you're hearing so many platitudes from politicians across the country. good to have you. >> thank you. a sheriff deputy is dead after an ambush involving a person with explosives. >> the santa cruz county sheriff's department says the deputies followed a van after a tip there were guns and bomb making materials inside of it. when they arrived at the home, the deputies were ambushed with

gunfire and multiple improvised explosives. a 38-year-old sergeant was shot and pronounced dead at the hospital there. the sheriff's department says he had been with the department since 2006. another deputy was either shot or struck by shrapnel and struck by a car as the suspect got away. police eventually did catch up with the suspect, steven carrillo, who was shot and arrested. coming up, attorney general william barr says the violent removal of peaceful protesters from lafayette square earlier this week wasn't his call. so who made the decision? also, the outer bands, those tropical storm force winds are reaching the coast of louisiana and mississippi and alabama and florida this morning. coming up, where people are already getting prepared for the heart, the center of the storm to come ashore maybe later tonight. i got this mountain bike for only $11. dealdash.com, the fair

barr said he had nothing to do with the decision to remove the protesters from lafayette square in washington earlier this week. president trump wanted to walk across the square to take pictures outside of st. john's episcopal church after it was damaged during the protest. >> law enforcement had to clear his path before that photo-op. the white house press secretary said president trump did not know about the plan to empty the streets and that barr made that call. cnn national correspondent kristen holmes has more. >> reporter: attorney general bill barr trying to distance himself from last monday's events amid increasing fallout. of course, just to remind our viewers, last monday is when the world watched peaceful protesters out in front of the white house in lafayette park get aggressively removed by law enforcement who used rubber bullets and pepper balls among other tactics, just so that president trump could stand in front of st. john's church and take that photo holding the bible.

now, make no mistake, the white house puts this squarely on barr, which is why he is in fact trying to distance himself. a senior administration official said that president trump had no idea there was a plan to empty the streets and that that was the attorney general's decision. now, he is pushing back for the first time. and in an interview with the associated press, he said he didn't give the final order to clear the park. and he clearly said this, not -- he was not involved in giving tactical commands like that, and put it on to the park police. so essentially they're shifting the blame. but i want to note one thing. we watched on camera as bill barr talked to law enforcement, stood out there, before the protesters, between that area blocked off, talking to the officials and this is caught on camera and he's not the only person, though, who wants it distance himself from this. we have seen several officials trying to push back, including

the secretary of defense, mark esper. reporting from the white house, kristen holmes, cnn. >> thank you. so there are solidarity protests and marches happening around the world against police brutality and racism. we're talking tens of thousands of people coming out in australia, britain, france, germany. that's just among other countries. >> demonstrators denounce racism in their own countries too. cnn's nic robertson has details for us. >> black lives matter. black lives matter. >> reporter: from auckland, new zealand, to rio de janeiro, brazil, to berlin, crowds have gathered, so george floyd's last words don't die with his killing. a huge mural erected along the iconic path of the old berlin wall. in montreal, the message the same. the prime minister justin trudeau adding his own cautionary words. no country immune to this

scourge. >> anti-black racism, racism is real, it is in the united states, but it is also in canada. >> reporter: an island north and south, george floyd, larger than in life, remembered on dublin's walls. in dublin, transatlantic ties making this killing feel closer to home. and in london, protesters came in their thousands, gathering amidst the grandeur of trafalgar square, marching off toward the u.s. embassy, pausing outside the prime minister's office to tell them what they think. >> everywhere in the world, people choose to think that. it is not going on anymore. that's the biggest racism right now, the fact that it doesn't exist, this is proof it does exist. >> reporter: in paris, silence for remembrance for a life taken so callously.

america's friends are watching and they're worried. >> we want to see america to come together. >> reporter: more protests planned for london where 23 people were arrested sunday. some for breaking lockdown rules, which bans groups larger than 6. america's own challenge is rippling out. so far, more peaceful than the nightly storms filling u.s. streets. all the same, a measure of how racism scars our common cause. nic robertson, cnn, london. be sure to watch "state of the union," jake tapper joined by former secretary of state general colin powell, housing secretary ben carson, and california representative karen bass.

the two officers charged for shoving and seriously injuring a 75-year-old protester in buffalo, new york, they could face up to seven years in prison if convicted. that's according to the district attorney. >> out of jail at the moment. the officers were greeted by cheers and applause on their way out.

here is cnn's vanessa yurkevich. >> reporter: the two buffalo police officers who were seen pushing a 75-year-old protester were charged on saturday with second degree assault, the two pleaded not guilty. they were released on their own recognizance and did not need to post bail. this happened just behind me, caught on videotape. now, on saturday, there was a large law enforcement presence outside the district attorney's office, and after the arraignment there were cheers from members of the law enforcement community supporting those two officers. the district attorney has said that he believes the entire buffalo police department needs retraining. >> they're not trained to shove a 75-year-old man with a baton and knock him to the ground. we're not trained to do that. yeah, trained to push back,

trained to clear an area, absolutely. but there's elements to that, there's aspects of that are -- but when you cross the line, all right, that's when it comes out of a training aspect and now comes in my world. >> reporter: that 75-year-old protester remains in serious but stable condition. and those two officers are still suspended without pay. as for protests here in buffalo, they have been peaceful over the weekend. you see a group across from city hall gathering. this is across from where martin was pushed by those two police officers. and on sunday, tonight, this will be the last night of curfew which starts at 8:00 p.m. back to you. >> thank you so much. now, there are evacuation orders issued for parts of louisiana this morning. of course, as tropical storm cristobal moves closer to the gulf coast, but hundreds of miles away from its projected landfall the storm's producing

really powerful winds, rain and look at this, tornadoes. >> these outer bands of the storm, they spawned a tornado near downtown orlando yesterday. at least three homes were damaged. good news is reports of injuries from this tornado. let's go to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. cristobal's impact is being felt across several states now. >> yeah, hundreds of miles away, truly, even cities like atlanta. charleston, south carolina, likely going to have impacts from this storm. they won't be quite the same as the folks in louisiana and right along the coast, but still this is a pretty widespread storm. here say look at the latest. winds are 50 miles per hour, gusting up around 60 to 65 miles per hour. forward movement about the same as yesterday, to the north, at 12 miles per hour. when we talk about landfall, we still anticipate landfall to be sometime late this afternoon or early evening across the louisiana coastline. here's a look as it continues to push inland from there.

again, we're talking about tropical storm warnings, that are going to stretch even outside of that particular cone, again, that's what we're talking about. how widespread this particular storm is going to be. don't focus on the specific cone. here is a look, you can see where the tropical storm warnings extend out to, severe weather is also going to be a big problem for us too. when we take a look at where the severe storms are going, we talk about the potential of what we saw yesterday. we saw tornadoes in several states, spreading outward and those tornadoes are going to be possible yet again today. also water spouts and yes the potential for damaging winds. in terms of where the storm is expected to go moving forward, here is a look, again, you see a lot of those outer bands stretching to states like florida, georgia, even south carolina. and even texas likely to maybe get along that louisiana/texas line a few light showers.

look at the amount of rain that is expected to fall. again, you're talking widespread amounts of 5 to 10 inches of rain, portions of florida, yesterday, already picked up over 5 inches. and now you're adding more rain on top of that. storm surge is also going to be a big factor with this. you can see even places like tampa and ft. myers likely going to get storm surge of 1 to 3 feet, which is impressive when you think about how far away they are from the center of the storm. speaking of how far away they are from the center of the storm, look where the system goes long-term. states like arkansas, missouri, iowa, even wisconsin, those states are likely going to get some rain out of this. i'm not just talking, say, half an inch to one inch of rain total. you're talking potentially 4 to 6 inches of rain. this is impressive, states like iowa and wisconsin don't normally get tropical systems that make it all the way up to them. it will be considerably weaker once it makes it all the way up there. but usually these things turn to the right a little bit before

they would get quite that far. >> good heavens, all right. allison chinchar, glad to have you giving us the heads up here, thank you very much. everybody stay safe. there have been evacuation orders issued for towns and parishes along louisiana's gulf coast. and it is not a concern as people are heading to the shelters. remember, this is during a pandemic. >> natasha chen is with us from new orleans right now. we know people in louisiana, they are adroit at dealing with this kind of thing. they know what to expect. they know what to do. but in the atmosphere of covid-19, how is that changing things there? >> reporter: i talked to somebody who has been in new orleans for a long time and he said they're not really that worried about this storm, although there are some very life threatening flood warnings coming from officials. they are watching this as closely as they can knowing there are pandemic issues to deal with at the same time, like you said.

and at the shelters people will have to bring additional things they may not normally bring during a disaster, like hand sanitize erk fasa sanitizer and face coverings. as for places that issued evacuation orders, that includes the parishes of st. john and jefferson parishes and that includes the town of grand isle that is on a barrier island and they actually issued a mandatory evacuation yesterday, expecting about two to four feet of storm surge according to the mayor. a lot of people here paying attention to the potential flooding issues here. the national weather service for new orleans just in the last hour or so said the flood watch for this area extends north through tuesday morning. so flooding always a concern in this area, especially when you get these storm systems, but people here seem to be carefully watching this, making their

grocery runs, but not extremely concerned relative to the types of storms they may typically get here. back to you. >> natasha chen for us in new orleans, thank you so much. up next, a cnn exclusive, details about the d.c. -- the national guard there in d.c., when they will be leaving the streets. when they'll be heading home. when the murray's started using gain ultra flings they fell in love with its irresistible scent. looks like their dog michelangelo did too. new gain ultra flings with two times oxi boost and febreze...

describes the ambush on police officers in brooklyn as something out of a terrorist playbook. >> police body camera captured the chaotic moments after an officer was stabbed in the neck. take a look here. >> you got stabbed? >> obviously that last video is of the night that police say was used two other officers were shot in the hand. >> all three are expected to be okay. whether or not this was in fact an act of terror, that's still being investigated. police do not believe it is tied to the protests or any of the other actions that happened over the last 12 nights. the suspect was shot several times and is in critical condition at a hospital. now, to the cnn exclusive, after witnessing one of the largest demonstrations in recent memory, the national guard

commander says that thousands of national guard troops brought to the nation's capital to help patrol the protests are about to go back to their home bases. >> the redeploying of these soldiers could start to happen as soon as tomorrow. >> reporter: some of the nearly 4,000 additional national guard troops that were brought to the nation's capital in the response to the recent protests could start going home as soon as monday. the top general in the d.c. national guard told cnn in an exclusive interview at the d.c. national guard headquarters. >> they'll be redeploying this week, probably as early as monday. >> reporter: do you have a sense of how many? all of them or a portion of them? >> they will leave as the situation dictates. >> reporter: the presence of those troops from some 11 states was a major point of contention between the trump white house and the d.c. and local government. the d.c. mayor asking the white house to remove those troops and telling the governors to send their troops home, saying that

local law enforcement could handle the protests. but defense officials say because of the peaceful nature of the recent protests, they could potentially begin drawing down the number of troops. now, the general also addressed another controversy involving the national guard here in washington, that is those low level helicopter flights that took place on monday. some accused them of being intended to disperse the peaceful protests. the top general said the flights were not directed by the pentagon, but that the flights themselves were under investigation. >> i have a joint task force commander, a general that served under me, and so he had the aircraft in the air, i am not a pilot. so i don't know if that was -- if they were too low. i don't know if they were too low. here's what i can tell you, a full investigation is under way right now. it is going to be thorough, it is going to be comprehensive. >> reporter: the general echoed other senior military leaders in saying at this point in time active duty troops were not

necessary to respond to the recent social unrest. but saying that he did not have a crystal ball and would remain watchful as the days moved forward. ryan browne, cnn, washington. >> ryan, thanks so much. a protest in new york looked more like a festival. look at the community marchers here. music and the messaging there. we'll tell you more. when you take align, you have the support of a probiotic and the gastroenterologists who developed it. align helps to soothe your occasional digestive upsets twenty-four seven. so where you go, the pro goes. go with align. the pros in digestive health. and if stress worsens your digestive issues, try new align digestive de-stress. it combines align's probiotic with ashwagandha to help soothe occasional digestive upsets, plus stress that can make them worse. and try align gummies with probiotics to help support digestive health.
