terrance crutcher. >> thanks so much for joining us. "ac 360" with anderson starts now. good evening. after nearly three weeks of nationwide protest and soul searching over injustice and unequal treatment of black americans and all eyes on the police, yet another family is grieving tonight. that grief and anger is being felt on the streets of atlanta. protesters out in numbers today and over the weekend. they are marching for rayshard brooks shot twice from behind by a city police officer friday night. three weeks since the killing of george floyd in minneapolis it happened again. george floyd, ahmaud arbery, breonna taylor rayshard brooks and another grieving family asking this of the police. >> they feel sorry for what they took in a way. that's what i want to know. you know? they had a chance to do it

again, would they do it the same way or totally different? >> in a moment, we'll be joined by a former police captain and federal prosecutor for their take on the interaction between the police and mr. brooks, which resulted in his death. it began when police were called to a wendy's drive-through in southwest atlanta. they found mr. brooks in his car asleep. >> go back to sleep. you got to move your car. you went back to sleep. >> huh? >> you went back to sleep. why don't you move your car into a parking space, okay? >> all right. >> don't go back to sleep. over there. >> mr. brooks does, he pulls into a parking spot and one of the responding officers beginning questioning him. >> do you have any weapons on you or anything like that? >> i don't have anything on me.

>> well, having determined he's unarmed they perform sobriety tests and a breathalyzer that comes back over the limit. at this point, as you'll see in the next clip the officers decide to handcuff him. mr. brooks resists, a scuffle breaks out, the officers try to use a taser. the body cam video is incomplete because the camera ends up on the ground, you hear profanity, a taser used and the fatal shots. >> hands behind your back. >> hey, stop! stop fighting! stop fighting! you're going to get tased! stop! stop! [ bleep ] hands off the taser! stop fighting!

[ bleep ] tased me! [ gunshots ]. >> 63. >> the sound of gunshots, two hitting mr. brooks in his back and buttocks according to the medical examiner. police dashcam shows the scuffle. you can see the officers wrestling with mr. brooks and one pulls out a taser and you can see the struggle after mr. brooks gets ahold of it and points it to officers with nofect. at this point one of the other officers pulls his tazer and fires at him running away. the restaurant surveillance picks up the rest and we slowed it down. mr. brooks is being pursued turning back with the taser at him. the actual shooting happens off camera but was captured on video from a restaurant surveillance camera at a drive-through. from that angle, you can see moving from left to right mr.

brooks being pursued, tuning apparently pointing the taser back at him and finally the officer appearing to open fire. we should mention right here that police do not consider a taze aerodeser a deadly weapon. in addition, the officers determined mr. brooks had no firearms on him. as cnn law enforcement analyst and former philadelphia police chief put it, the officers had his car and knew who he was and where to find him. rayshard brooks was 27 years old. in addition to his widow, he leaves behind three young daughters and a teenage stepson. the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. the officer who did the shooting has been fired. his partner is put on administrative leave. charges may come as early as wednesday. atlanta's police chief has stepped down. >> we saw the worst happen on friday night with mr. brooks.

it angered me and it saddened me beyond words. but i me that it is my responsibility as mayor of this great city for us to continue to work to put that anger and that sadness into action. >> joining us is paul howard junior district attorney of georgia. you said that a decision on possible charges against the officer who shot rayshard brooks would be made sometime around wednesday. can you go through which charges may be under consideration? >> there are three major charges we are considering, the first charge being murder, which addresses an intent to kill. the second charge felony murder, which occurs when death arises out of an underlying felony and in this case, the underlying

felony would be an aggravated assault. the third charge that we're considering is voluntarily manslaughter, which is a death in a heat of passion. >> i want to play something mr. brooks' widow told cbs about the officers. let's play that. >> i want them to go to jail. i want them to deal with the same thing as if it was my husband who killed someone else. if it was my husband who shot them, he would be in jail. he would be doing a life sentence. they need to be put away. i feel like even though everything happened so fast, it didn't take nothing but a split second for the other officer to say hey, calm down. he could have told his partner calm down. so all of them need to be

sentenced the same way. >> she's saying the second officer involved who didn't fire his weapon should be sentenced the same way. i'm wondering what you make of that because right now he's on administrative leave, i believe or administrative duty. >> well, we are considering both of the officers. we're not just considering one of the officers and so the charge s we are exploring are charges that could possibly be against both of the officers involved. i think one of the things that i hear mrs. miller addressing is what people from the community are continuing to say is that is they want one system of justice, and she's right. if this had been a civilian, the possibility charges would have been lodged against them already, and i think what people around the country are saying

is, we want one system so that both the police and citizens are treated equally and that's what we're hoping to do by making our decision on wednesday. >> and do you have a sense of what the -- what should have happened in this -- in their interaction from get-go? i mean, is there standard procedure that you can point to that says that wasn't followed? is there something -- what do you make of what you've actually seen in the video? >> well, i think that when i saw it, knowing that mr. brooks would end up dead when i saw it initially, my first thought was, i expected to see someone who was resistant, someone who did not cooperate with the police, who was not very friendly, but that was exactly the opposite of

what happened with mr. brooks. he was very compiling, very cause wellment when you see it, it's very difficult to wrap your hands around why he ends up getting killed. so i think that what it does, it creates this kind of classic example for police departments around the country when we're talking about deescalation because there's really no reason for mr. brooks to end up dead because he fell asleep in the drive-through or that he was intoxicated, whatever those incidents might have added up to, it certainly didn't merit the final outcome in this case. >> certainly, if this goes to trial and whatever the charges may be, the attorneys for officers will say well, he may

have become ply yenen compliant when the handcuffs were being put on, he resisted and according to them, grabbed a taser. >> yeah, i think the video and the evidence will show that he grabbed the taser, but the critical point that we are examining and the critical point i believe in this case is what happened at the exact moment of the shooting? because at that time under georgia law, unless mr. brooks posed an imminent threat of bodily harm, as i sometimes say it, just to say was the police officer was it necessary for him to shoot mr. brooks to save his life or to save someone else's

life? because if mr. brooks was shot for some other reason, then it is not justified. >> district attorney howard, appreciate your time and thank you very much. look to see whatahead. thank you. joining us now laura coats and ron johnson, the author of "13 days in ferguson." laura, you heard what the mayor called this murder. what do you see and what kind of charges do you think might be leveed here? >> well, it's important after considering charges you have to think what the actual facts are, what are the hurdles you may have in a jury or grand jury and what you have to actually overcome here. unlike the cases we've seen recently of a breonna taylor, of a george floyd, we have a real issue about use of force, whether it was justifiable to

use it or whether it was criminal to engage in that behavior and it will all come down to the notion was he in a kill or be killed scenario? that's what the use of force is about. did mr. brooks present a danger to the general community or could lethal force have been used as a last resort? we're looking at the d.a.'s statement when he says look, was it for some other reason to catch up to him? failure to be able to catch up to somebody running away from you is not enough to actually use lethal force knowing full well a taser is all he had. so the real inquiry for this d.a. will be about how use of force was used and whether he mentioned heat of passion, there was enough time that went by he could have as the georgia statute says, some humanity or common sense and reason to enter his mind. that would suggest to you did he have enough time to make a different choice? he knew who he was. he knew how to find him. it will be a decision for this

d.a. to make. >> captain johnson, i'm wondering what you make of this interaction given your experiences as a police officer, as somebody who has been in this profession. what should -- what would appropriate force in a case like this -- if somebody is resisting, if somebody has grabbed a taser but the underlying reason they were called out is he was asleep in a line at wendy's, it's not as if he was robbing a bank and holding a hostage. what do you do in a situation like this or what went wrong here? >> i think as everybody said, you knew his identity and he was unarmed and even when he runs away, he shoots the taser. without him being familiar with the taser, the chances he would have been able to engage the taser again are slim. he had already shot the taser and missed you. in a sense, that danger had

lapsed. you know, so he was running away. he did pose a threat to the officer. he didn't pose a threat -- even if he got away to the community. that the one of the things you knew where he live because he told you how close he lived. it's hard to see the threat and what we've seen so far until in news clips. >> in a case like this -- i'm sorry. we have a delay -- >> if he caught up with him, he would have to struggle with him again. that would be your use of force you would continue to use if you caught up with him. >> laura, what the district attorney was saying was, you know, in the moment the shot was fired, it doesn't necessarily go all the way -- the consideration doesn't go all the way back to the underlying reason the police were called in the first place. it in that moment, you know, was

it to prevent something worse that might happen if he got away, if something like that. is that -- i mean, would a jury have to decide or even what the d.a.'s office would have to decide just like what happened in the second or do they look at all the incidents leading up to it? >> i totality of circumstance will be considered. you're talking about not only the reason they were there but also about the entire interaction from, what, 10:40 p.m. to about 11:20 p.m. at night on friday. you had this ark of their interactions. remember, they know full well he's not armed. they don't feel in danger for all of that period of time. field sobriety, et cetera. his struggle was something people didn't necessarily predict. it shocked people to know it happened. you hear the audio of people surprised this is happening. the d.a. is right to consider this in a more narrow context. in the use of force, totality is

important but also about whether at the time the officer engaged in lethal force, he was justified to do so and that particular clock is going to real list teistically run from the struggle ensued until he discharged his weapon. you will consider whether or not in the video i believe that the taser is i think yellow. about my shirt color practica y practically. the idea he would mistake it for another weapon with lethal force is absurd to think about if that's the case. the real clock will start about that calculous during that struggle and it also has to consider here anderson, the fact you cannot shoot somebody, a fleeing suspect simply because you cannot catch up to them. there a whole host of things at an officer's disposal, backup, time, a chase. the idea this person was already ininebriated that could be a disadvantage. all that has to be taken into consideration whether last

resort really was lethal force or a knee jerk reaction. really, if it's a knee jerk reaction, that will be the main consideration of this d.a. >> laura coats, ron johnson, appreciate it. coming up, the president's answer to the coronavirus pandemic. it about testing as a new forecast predicts 200,000 fa sta -- fatalities. >> the police chief who knelt after members of her swat team quit because of her kneeling. we'll be right back.

now i've been reading about babies lately and that's something babies grow out of by about 18 months. it called object permanence meaning the thing is there whether you're looking at it or not. well, the president perhaps hasn't reached that stage yet, at least not when it comes to the virus that claimed more than 116,000 lives in this country. today you'll hear he expressed the notion if you stop testing for it, coronavirus won't be a problem anymore, which sounds pretty simple. it means somehow, the figures that show the number of cases rising and all those states you see in light and dark red there on the map, they have nothing to do with people actually showing up sick at hospitals or put on ventilators or still dying in this country, no, instead, according to the president, just stop testing and problem solved because it goes away and nobody knows about it. >> our testing is so far adva e

advanc advanced, it's bigger and ber better. if we stop testing, we'll have very few cases if any. >> keeping them honest, that makes no sense. in the twisted logic of hiding facts, if that's your plan, yes, if you don't test anyone you won't know how wide spread the virus is spread and won't be able to respond and prepare and save lives but there would be just as many cases, you might hide it, which the president clearly would like to do, but people will still be sick and some will die. texas today reported a record number of people hospitalized with covid-19. not merely testing positive but actually sick and sick enough to go to the hospital. according to forecasting from the cdc as i mentioned by july 1st, anywhere from 2500 to 12,000 people will be hospitalized with new cases of coronavirus every single day. now again, those are actual

people getting truly ill and they won't stop getting ill if testing stops. they won't stop dying. you just won't know why they got sick. they will still be showing up at hospitals, still spending weeks in icus and still dying. so stunning about today's statement by the president is that it actually not the first time he's used this ridiculous logic or said ridiculous and contradictory and false things about testing. he's had many things to say, take a look. >> we're testing everybody that we need to test. anybody that wants a test can get a test. we took over an obsolete broken testing system. there's not a lot of issues with testing. the governors are supposed to do testing. we're lapping the world on testing. we have so much testing, i don't think you need that kind of testing or that hutmuch testing. we've done more testing than any country combined. so by doing this testing, we

make our zeselves look bad. something can happen between a test where it's good and something happens and that's why this whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great. but testing certainly is a very important function and we have prevailed. we have prevailed he said. but it's over rated he said. but we're the best in the world. america is first in testing. also first in deaths. we make ourselves look bad because we're first in testing. notice what is missing is any real conception what testing is truly for, the early warning it can give of the deaths it can prevent. by the president's formulation, testing is either something to boast about or make him look bad and not just testing, it suspension of disbelief that the virus is still a grave danger so much so he's insisting on holding a massive rally indoors in tulsa on saturday and today when asked, vice president pence asked about the idea of cramming

19,000 people many older into a crowded arena for hours on e7nd was actually a good idea. >> oklahoma has really been in the forefront of our efforts to slow the spread and in a very real sense, they flattened the curve and today their hospital capacity is abundant. >> now keeping them honest, that is simply not true. what is festinating about vice president pence is his whole job is to sound folksy and stable and broad shouldered and make sense and make it sound like there is a rational person who is actually listening to what the president is saying and agrees with it and is communicating exactly what the president is saying. here is the daily case rate for oklahoma over the last two weeks. the line represents a five-day moving average and as you can see, that line is up at the end

of those 14 days. it's not down. and over the weekend, tulsa's top public health official had this piece of advice concerning the rally quote, if you want to stay safe, don't go. more now on the publishing health and political aspects of what the president said. joining us dr. jim accoosta and sanjay gupta. what the president is saying is ludicrous and dangerous given the fact that, you know, there needs to be as much testing as possible in order to get people to go back to work. has there been any reaction from the task force or are they still in the witness protection program? they disappeared. they are only occasionally here or there. i haven't seen dr. birx on tv. i don't know where they are. are they allowed out? >> yeah. well, despite all that, anderson, i managed to get in touch with a source close to the task force this evening who had one word for what the president

had to say today and it was quote, yikes. anderson, that is a direct quote. this is a president who hates met i c metrics where the stock market is, unemployment rate is or the number of cases from the coronavirus but anderson, make no mistake, this is an extension of not just what the president says but top white house officials that the reason why we're seeing an uptick in cases from the coronavirus is because we're doing more testing and i talked to an administration official who is close to this task force who said that is simply not the case that yes, in some cases sure, this are more cases because they're doing more testing but also because there has been a spike in infections in certain parts of the country and there is no denying that unless you're the president. >> sanjay, against the backdrop of the new university of washington model, the president's upcoming rally in tulsa, the venue apparently holds 19,000 people.

it it's indoors. is that an event, beyond the political reason, would you go to any event that had 19,000 people inside? >> it's the anderson. most people realize that by this point. there is a contagious virus out there. it's still out there. we have forgotten about it maybe but it hasn't forgotten about us. we put up the risk factors for various things. the least risky way if you have a gathering of some sort is virtually but the most risky sort of thing is to do a large indoor vent where people come from all different locations. you can't practice social distancing. they want to fill it to the rim. they will give out masks but not mandate you wear them. you have many common public areas. there will be infections that come from this. if there is a super spreader event, a lot can get infected and take those infections back to their communities and many of these folks are older, maybe vulnerable. there is real risks here. this is the exact opposite thing

of what we should be doing. one thing about the testing, anderson, because you and i have been talking about this for, what, five months now? i cannot believe in june now the idea that we should pull back on testing has become a thing, even. it is again, the exact wrong direction that we should be going in. in 24 hours, 600 people died. there are more people who died in this country in the last 24 hours than entire countries through this whole pandemic. we don't even know what we don't know anymore with regard to testing in this country. it is really, really worries me as we go forward into the rest of this year. >> and sanjay, there has been obviously a lot of concern about a second wave. apparently, we're still in the first wave and correct me if i'm wrong, dr. fauci said any type of real normality might not return until next year and yet, you see images of people really pushing things out. out in parks, no masks, no

social distancing, obviously, look, the outdoor rallies, you have people in very close quarters, yes, outside on the move. people are wearing masks. but i mean, how badly could all of -- i mean, there is a real kind of sense of people are just had it or just too tired with it or, you know, feel that whether it the political rally for trump or rallies out in the street, it's more important to stand up and be counted at a time like this. how badly can this backfire? >> when you look at the models, again, which we followed since the beginning, around sorendera. initially they said 30, 40, 50,000 people by august 4th they kept saying, right? we are beginning of june and what is it, 120 thou,000 roughl people have died? more than double the people have died than the projection thought would die by august 4th.

now they are saying 200,000 people may die by october 1 s. sadly, i get no joy whatsoever in saying this but i think the models are vastly under projecting at this point. you know, when we decided to stay at home, put those stay at home orders in place, there were fewer than 80 people who died in this country, between 4 and 5,000 people infected. that's when we decided to go to stay at home. we are reopening and there is 110,000, 120,000 people that die. it makes no sense and if people aren't abiding by the basic principles of mask wearing and doing things that can have an impact. everyone will be worried. i get that. >> let's remember, the reason we're not hearing from the coronavirus task force every day and the president every day and mike pence every day on coronavirus is because the president, the last time they actually had a briefing, the president so embarrassed himself by suggesting people get

experimented on by injecting disinfectant into them, that they stopped the coronavirus task force briefings because the president embarrassed himself and got mad he was called out on it and his lies about it. up next, the police chief who accepted the resignation after she took a knee with protesters. did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn

no strings attached. just say "peacock" into your voice remote to start watching today. tonight protesters are calling for policing reform following the police killing of yet another african american man in atlanta and 21 days after the death of george floyd in minneapolis. police leaders have been

kneeling in solidarity are the demonstrators like this one in south florida from last week in the crowd there is the police chief sonia because of her kneeling, all ten members of the city's swat team resign from those posts but are staying as members of the police department. police chief joins us now. chief, you met with the swat team this afternoon and the mayor this evening. what came of those hemeetings? why were they upset you had taken a knee? >> thank you for having me on. we saw what happened with george floyd and mr. george floyd did not have to die. when our community came together for a protest in solidarity in memory of mr. george floyd, they asked me, chief, and any other law enforcement officers would you like to join us? i saw that as an opportunity to stand with them, to kneel with them, this is our community that we protect and serve and it was important for us to show them we're together. this is not us against them. this is us working together,

collaborating and it was in r reverence to our police department, our community working together. >> the vice mayor today and i know the swat team felt that you knelt, you were kneeling for howard beau junior, a man killed in a rate by the swat team in 2014. officers were cleared of wrongdoing and reportedly made close to half a million dollars payout. is that what you understood the protest to be or was this about george floyd? >> so this was in reference to the community in solidarity. i knelt with the community in remembrance of george floyd, not against police, not against officers, not to reopen a case. i support our officers. it important everybody understands we have a lot of great men and women that work for the police department in all nations, this is a case of working together with the

community hand in hand. not against police. police we have a great deal of great officers that work with us. >> so what happens? i know the swat team also says that they have not received enough training, though i believe you upped the amount of training but it's still not as much as other places, other swat teams. for residents worried the city does not have a swat team, can you use resources from elsewhere? >> so i just want to say, i'm extremely disappointed. very disappointed they walked away from their assignment. they never talked to me in advance and let me know their concerns. i scheduled the meeting to meet with them. if we're not connecting and communicating, we're not resolving concerns. i wanted to have an opportunity to speak to them, hear them out. what they stated in that memo was not accurate. we provided increased training hours. we provided over $100,000 in the last two years in swat specific equipment and they inaccurately

and falsely stated i took a knee in solidarity with the vice mayor, which was not the case, it was in reverence with our community. >> the rights for gay, lesbian, transgender people, a ruling that will affect workplaces across the country. we'll be right back. everything. that's ebates. i get cash back on electronics, travel, clothes. you're talking about ebates. i can't stop talking about rakuten. pretty good deal - peter sfx [blender] ebates is now rakuten, sign up today. yoo-hoo, progressive shoppers. we laughed with you.

with everything else going on you might have missed the 6-3 decision the historic civil rights act from 1964 protects lesbian, gay, transgender from working and it makes it illegal to fire someone because of sexual or yen nation ientation identity. four liberal mens in the majority. joining us for his reaction to this his tore rick ruling is author of book, "the homosexual versus the quite united states amany ameri ameri america." i'm half way through. i'm so glad you wrote it. the fact it's come out on the days right before the supreme court rule something incredible.

reading it, i was so moved today to hear this decision by the court because talk to me, talk to our viewers about the generations of gay andless be b and transgender people fired from jobs and unable to work simply because of who they are. >> thanks so much for having me, anderson. yeah, as you said, this did not begin with stone wall or even with the late 1960s, this decision is a 60-year battle that began when a disgraced government astronomer was fired for being gay and in 1961 the first openly gay man to assert higt ev his rights as an american citizen saying that the civil rights of home mosexuals were j as valid as any other group.

>> which was revolutionary at the time. that's what your book brings to life. hoover was getting, like, daily briefings about this guy frank, this astronomer, he had no money. he was starving at times. he couldn't get any jobs. he refused to give up on this quest. he was the first gay person to testify in congress about gay people that blows your mind. he gave his own brief to the supreme court trying to get them to take this up. i mean, he actually even got the first demonstration in front of the white house in the late 50s, which at the time was, i mean, you can't even over estimate how startling that was to america. >> i'm glad you mentioned the fbi because of course, if you were protesting for your rights as a gay or field employee, there were a very good likelihood photographers would be there taking your photograph at the demonstration and then calling up the state department,

calling up your private employer and saying did you know that your employee is a sexual devia deviant? he was the first to fight back and more directly today the first to persuade the american civil liberties union that gay rights, queer rights were a valid issue until frank that was not a concept widely regarded in the legal community. so with aclu as an important figure in this case, we have to thank him and all the attorneys who are so heroic. >> and also, at the time, i mean, gay people were still being arrested and sent to mental institutions, people had shock treatment, incredibly brave is a minor word for this. if you talk to also the debt, i think, that the gay people, lesbian people, transgender people in this country,

especially white gay lesbian transgender people owe to the black civil rights movement and the fight for equality for black americans because those really borrowed the methods of the peaceful non-violent protests of the civil rights movement. >> uh-huh. there's been a lot of weeks of how a stone wall and riot was led by people of color but minimizes the role of the freedom movement in our own rights. as you said, this is a 1964 bill that was written in response to the 1963 march on washington which itself was organized by a gay black man. so it is not just stone wall. >> by rusten. >> we owe not just the riots and people that fought there but the figures within the black freedom

movement. mash s marsha p. johnson and sylvia that established the legal fight for today. >> the >> the book is a fascinating read. anyone interested in american history or queer history, i urge them to read it. eric, thank you so much. really appreciate it. thanks for writing the book. what an investigation revealed when looking at president trump's hurricane dorian scandal.
