hello there, i'm victor plaquewell. welcome to cnn newsroom. five former memphis police officers charged in the fating beating of tyre nichols pleaded not guilty in their first court appearance. taddarius bean, emmitt martin ii and desmond mills were arraigned together. the men face charges of second degree murder, misconduct, kidnapping, as well and during the arraignment, the judge stressed this will be a long process. >> work with your attorneys, cooperate with them, meet with them, go over the discovery, make sure if there are any d

delays they aren't on account of any of your actions. to those in attendance as i explained to the defendants this can take some time so we ask for your patience, your continued patience, your continued civility in this case. we understand there may be some high emotions in this case but we ask that you continue to be patient with us. everyone involved wants this case to be concluded as quickly as possible. but it's important for you all to understand that the state as well as each one of these defendants have an absolute right to a fair trial. >> tyre nichols' family was in the courtroom as well. his mother said that she wanted the officers to see her face. >> i feel very numb and i'm waiting for this nightmare basically that i'm going through right now, i'm waiting for somebody to wake me up, right. i'm really waiting for somebody to wake me up but i also know that's not going to happen,

okay, i know my son is gone. i know i'll never see him again. i want each and every one of those police officers to be able to look me in the face. they haven't done that yet. they couldn't even do that today. they didn't even have the courage to look at me in my face after what they did to my son. >> cnn senior crime and justice correspondent shimon prokopecz is in memphis. first time we're seeing these five former officers together. tell us more about what happened today. >> reporter: yeah, first time that we've seen them together. it's their initial appearance in court where they were arraigned on the charges and, you know, we saw them enter the courtroom then just stand behind their table next to their lawyers where their lawyers spoke for them, pleading not guilty then as you played there the sound from the judge, the process is

now under way. it's now in the hands of the court, so the judicial process begins and now the whole thing is about discovery and getting information to the defense attorneys who, by all accounts, victor, you know, we talked to some of the attorneys afterwards are going to launch a vigorous defense. as one would expect. but it's interesting to hear them talk about it. they phelan there's been a rush to judgment and other evidence that's not out there. we keep hearing from city officials that more video, more audio is expected to be released. they say that is important piece of evidence that hopefully the public will get to see. and so the process is under way. but also at the same time there's a whole host of things going on in the district attorney's office. they are continuing their investigation in this case and other officers could potentially face charges. but the fallout from this is significant. we learned today that some -- about 100 cases could be more at some point are now under review

involving -- that involve some of these officers, whether they were arrests, officers -- these officers had made arrests or whether they were witnesses, the d.a. saying he's now reviewing those cases. take a listen to what more he said. >> they are proactively reviewing all the cases involving the five officers plus officer hemphill. the five officers total 75 cases. there's going to be an additional number, i don't know the exact number with officer hemphill then, of course, beyond that if there are individual cases that people bring to our attention whether there's a credible reason to review it, we will review that as well. >> how concerned are you over some of the activity there that has come to light? >> i'm very concerned. i think anybody would be very concerned. >> reporter: and, victor, we heard from community members who had ain't acted with this unit which is now no longer, the scorpion unit, that raised issues and the d.a. is saying

they'll look -- he told me outside of court it would be about a hundred cases. the significance of that, just one final note, these cases could potentially be dismissed which, you know, presents a big problem here for the city. >> yeah, certainly, shimon prokopecz there in memphis with the reporting, thank you. let's bring in now civil rights attorney and legal affairs commentator areva martin, training and culture major components driving the conversation about policing. i wonder, first, let's start with the hundred cases in that review. 75 for scorpion, about 25 for officer hemphill if you don't recognize the name he was caught on body camera saying i hope they stomp his ass. what do those reviews look like? >> well, first of all, victor, it's going to be a very grueling process and the issue here is, has testimony gun biven by these five officers that now should be called into question, because what we know from these officers

is that they were not truthful in how they reported what happened to mr. nichols on that evening and but for that extensive video camera we saw from the pole camera and some of the body camera we may not have gotten a truthful rendition of what happened that night so the question with these 100 cases were these officers engaged in wr wrongful conduct, excessive force and give honest and accurate information in reports they may have written regarding any of those cases and testimony that they may have gone into court, they may have raised their hands in cases and sworn to tell the truth and now there's questions about their veracity and the legitimacy of all of those 100 cases. >> so the appearance today, they make their first appearance together. do you expect that they'll be tried together? >> i suspect that the court is going to want to try them together because efficiency purposes when you have a set of defendants and one set of facts and circumstances obviously from

a court standpoint and a jury standpoint it makes sense to try them together but i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't start to see motions from particular individual officers asking that they be severed, that their trial be separated from some of the others. there's already one of the officer, victor, we should note who has said in his administrative hearing or the administrative process before he was fired that he believed that he filed -- the training that was given by the police department and protocols so i'm waiting to see if these officers start to turn on each other. if they start to point the fingers at each other and if they do that, i would not be surprised if we don't start to see motions to sever the trials. >> of course, we remember the derek chauvin in the murder of george floyd was tried separately from the other officers. i remember covering freddie gray. the first three were tried together, acquitted and the second group of officers, charges dropped against the second half. plea agreements. are you expecting in this case

we could start to see one or two of these officers kind of peel away to try to maybe get a reduced sentence? >> well, you know, victor, that has come up and all of these cases, that's always a looming question. now typically those plea agreements happen when a particular defendant may have some evidence or information to give that could further implicate someone else that's involved in the criminal charges, in this case we look at these videos and say, look, the prosecutors don't need to make deals you about i think that's a short-sighted analysis because we have not seen as we heard from the prosecutor as well as from these defense attorneys all of the evidence so once those defense attorneys start going through those videotapes and really slowing down looking at the actions frame by frame of the clients they represent, i would not be surprise fundamental we didn't see some of them trying to separate themselves, saying that their guy wasn't as culpable as some of the other guys that were involved and trying to get deals with the prosecutor so we've

seen that happen in many of these cases before, and i would not be surprised to see that it would happen in this case as well. >> the judge says this will be a long process so we'll be leaning on your expertise often. areva martin, good to see you, thank you. to louisiana and the killing of another unarmed black man whose final moments were recorded on police body cam. it is very difficult to watch. shreveport, louisiana, police officer is charged with negligent officer for the killing of alonzo bagley. he was 43 years old. he is graphic, disturbing. ryan young has the story. >> reporter: two officers arrive at the home of alonzo bagley responding to a 911 call regarding the domestic disturbance. >> hey, what's your name? >> alonzo. >> can you step out? >> come on in sir? he was disturbing the peace. >> i'm coming down there. >> sit down. >> i'm coming down.

>> let her -- hey, come here. come here. she can put the dog up. >> reporter: the first officer follows bagley down the hallway as his wife continues to yell in the background. >> hey, hey. >> reporter: the officer realizes bagley is headed out the door of a balcony, sees him jump from the second floor to the ground below. he then turns back to run through and out of the apartment downstairs to chase after bagley. once outside you hear one officer yell to the other. >> he went that way. >> reporter: about five seconds later, you hear a single gunshot. it's been one minute and 25 seconds since officers first knocked on the door. >> shots fired. >> reporter: for the next two minutes you hear the officers distraught in administering cpr. keep breathing. keep breathing. stay with me, man. stay with me.

breathe. keep breathing. keep breathing, dude. keep breathing. keep breathing. keep breathing. [ bleep ]. >> hey, go to the front of the building. go to the front of the building, wave them down with your flashright. run, run, run. you're going to be all right. you're going to be all right. look at me, hey, look at me. look at me. look at me. look at me. hey. wake up. wake up. look at me. look at me. hey. respond. come on. come on. come on. wake up. respond. >> reporter: bagley was unarmed during the encounter according to a louisiana state police. the officer who fired the shot, alexander tylerer has been charged with negligent homicide. >> in court thursday a louisiana state police investigator told

the judge in the split second after the shot is fired, you can see in the body camera footage bagley's hands are up. cross-examination the investigator acknowledged the view from the body camera is obstructed by the way the officer's turned in the moment the shot is fired. >> officers are always faced on a day-to-day basis with dangerous situations like that and at times where they have to make split-second decisions where they're in a potential life-threatening situation. the mere fact that an argument is being made by the investigator in court that he was unarmed does not necessarily mean he's not a threat to the officer. >> reporter: victor, obviously a tough video to watch and we talked to family members just after they got a chance to watch that video and obviously it's the audio, those last moments of hearing mr. bagley take his last breath that stand out to that entire family. the lawyer was also telling us, though, they are thanking lsp

because they want to say they were happy to see that a thorough investigation is ongoing and that charges were pressed and that this is a very transparent situation. the mayor of the city has apologized to the family for not speaking to them in the early moments after this shooting. this community is still hurting because they're trying to figure out how to move forward after something so horrific could happen here. >> ryan young reporting from shreveport, thank you. joining me now cnn senior law enforcement analyst charles ramsey who led the police forces in walk washington and philadelphia. chief, we're talking about another one now. so you watch this video. do you see anything there that justifies officer tyler firing that shot? >> no, the shooting itself isn't justified but when you look at the video and it's rather difficult, you have to really slow it down to actually, you know, get a handle on what actually took place in terms of

the officers at the moment they fired the shot. now, i know when you do the still shot you saw his hands up. it is at night and whether or not the officers thought he was armed or what have you, i have absolutely no idea, but the shooting is not justified, clearly he wasn't armed. >> so, when we see the officer, officer tyler first pull out the weapon, first draw the weapon. he's still in the apartment in the hallway, bagley hasn't jumped off the balcony, the officer certainly hasn't run the other way, gone down the stairs and approached him. does it make sense that the weapon is drawn that early? >> well, it would to me only because he loses sight of him. he walks away and he goes into the room. now, you don't know if he's going into the room to get a weapon. you don't know what he's doing. and so just as a precaution, but what you shouldn't do is run with your gun drawn unless you believe that person is actually armed with a firearm because

it's too easy to have an accidental discharge when you're running with your gun drawn but i can understand how initially because he doesn't know what he's got he not only goes in that room he closes the door behind him. remember, you don't know what you have once you get in there. the problem is actually with the chase and what prompted him to fire the shot at the time he fired the shot. that's really the issue. >> you know, it was jarring to watch that video and i've watched it a few times now and to know that mr. bagley, his last moments were there listening to this officer shouting come on, wake up, respond, keep breathing. is there any relevance to that moment when you're trying to assess, i mean, this officer was 23 years old, trying to assess

training, if he's panicked, nervousness at all or is it just jarring to watch? >> well, i mean he's trying to keep him alert and going. they're trying to save him. they're doing what they can to try to save the individual. but, unfortunately, it didn't work but the yelling and trying to keep him alert, trying to keep him from, quote, unquote going to sleep or losing consciousness is something that he's desperately trying to do but to no avail, unfortunately. so, you know, this is a tragic case on both sides of the coin in my opinion. it's just one of those things that shouldn't happen but, again, we can watch a tape over and over again. we can rewind it. we can go in slow motion. this stuff goes down, it goes down in real time in a split second, a decision is made that is literally life or death. and unfortunately this is one they got wrong. >> chief ramsey, thank you. coming up next hour, i will be joined by officer tyler's

attorney so we'll put some of these questions to drew thompson when he joins us in the next hour. the fbi is now teaming up with the los angeles police following two recent shootings of jewish people. up next, the renewed fears and safety concerns among jewish communities across the country there questions on if these two people were targeted because of their religion. plus, president zelenskyy issues an urgent plea to world leaders, hurry up with those weapons deliveries. new reaction from those leaders ahead.

police in los angeles arrested a suspect in the drive-by shootings of two jewish people and the fbi is now investigating these incidents as possible hate crimes. police tell cnn that around 10:00 wednesday morning the first victim was walking to their car from their synagogue when a man drove by and shot twice and then drove off. well, the next morning about three blocks away, this ring video shows the victim from the second scene, look closely here, this is moments after he was shot in the arm. he's the one with the sleeve rolled up. both victims are in the hospital. we're told they're in stable

condition. cnn's security correspondent josh campbell is covering this for us so you were the first to report on this arrest. what more do you know? >> reporter: so i heard from a law enforcement source last night that the suspect was taken into custody. that call came shortly after that occurred. it happened in riverside county which is about an hour east of los angeles, the pico-robertson neighborhood where this -- these two took place is an area with a large jewish population. you mentioned wednesday morning you have people there working -- walking around the area. a witness says a man is leaving synagogue and a drive-by shooting occurs. somebody drives by, opens fire, that person is shot. the very next morning another person in the neighborhood also shot. now there's still a lot we don't know about this suspect. about his motivation, about his past. we do know that the los angeles police department is investigating this as a hate crime. also read you a statement we got in from los angeles mayor karen bass. she says that these attacks

against members of our jewish community in the pico-robertson area is unacceptable. hate crimes have no place in our city or country. those who engage in either will be caught and held fully accountable. now, it's obviously this community breathing a sigh of relief that the suspect has been taken into custody but the jewish community here and across the country also unsettled. this after this wave of anti-semitism that we've seen over the last few years. i want to take you -- take a listen to a neighbor who lives in the neighborhood where these occurred. have a listen. >> very scared for my kids. you know, it is shabbat coming up tomorrow night and not going to let our kids go to schol this weekend and scared for them to wear their keep ass. >> i'm told special agents and analysts in southern california

who work domestic terrorism and hate crimes investigations are looking at the evidence in this case, looking at the shooter's past. working to determine if any federal charges will be brought here, victor. >> josh campbell with the reporting. let's bring in jeffrey abrams, regional director of the anti-defamation league of lance. let me first get your reaction to the news of the arrest. >> well, victor, it is good to see you again, and we're very happy to learn of this arrest, because this community, the jewish community in los angeles is on edge right now. it was troubling to hear that last interview with that person speaking about not wanting to go to synagogue. not wants her kids to wear anything that identifies them as a jew. we are appreciate of all law enforcement, fbi, u.s. attorney for taking the first step which is to arrest the perpetrator. >> yeah, it was difficult to listen to that mom saying she

didn't want her kids to look too jewish at this time because obviously this is being investigated as a targeted hate crime. you mentioned shabbat and for those who observe, driving is prohibited. what's your degree of concern for people out just walking will be targets and people will take advantage of that? >> so shabbat begins at sundown on friday. lapd has made assurances that there will be additional patrols, not just in the pico-robertson area but throughout the jewish community. we need to protect the jewish community in los angeles because it's under siege. we've had these commitments from lapd. i personally received a call from mayor bass yesterday. we make up 2% of the population in this country yet time and time again the jewish community is who is targeted with religious-based hate crime. in l.a. county, a report

released, 75%, staggering number, 75% of all religious-based hate crimes are directed towards jewish people so as we're about to enter shabbat what we hope the community knows is that the lapd is here protecting as are other groups like adl and other community organizations. >> according to the adl, anti-semitic attacks reached an all time high up 34% from the previous year. i know the adl has -- you all have your own investigative team there leading looking into these crimes but talk to me about the cooperation between local police, fbi, of course, you talked about there being more police out, but one would hope that you could stop this before it comes to the moment of a person who is looking for a target, right? >> we're all in partnership together. just as the u.s. attorney, department of homeland security all are doing their work so too is adl. we actually have a center on extremism where we are looking

for information and so as we learn more, we'll share what we know with law enforcement. this is a partnership. we're very, very appreciative that here in los angeles, through a lot of hard work we have very close working relationships with lapd, with the u.s. attorney, with the fbi, so we're in close consultations. really we're here to protect the community. >> jeffrey abrams with the adl in los angeles, i thank you for your time. emotions running high during a community meeting in new jersey where one teen's suicide is prompting new accusations of bullying and violence in that school district. >> you all need to make a change now. that girl should still be alive. she shouldn't have had to just take her own life. >> hear more from the parents and the students in that community ahead. also senator john fetterman is being praised for prioritizing his mental health after checking

himself into a hospital for clinical depression. we'll talk about the example that he's setting ahead. when covid hit, we had some challenges. i heard about the payroll tax refufund that allowed us to keep the people that have beenen here taking care of us. learn more at getrefufunds.com. your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. ined instant match instantly delivers quality candidates tching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire

ugh covid-19? and being overweight makes it more risky. i'm calling my doctor. if it's covid, paxlovid. authorized for emergency use, paxlovid is an oral treatment for people 12 and up... who have mild-to-moderate covid-19 and have a high-risk factor for it becoming severe. my symptoms are mild now, but i'm not waiting. if it's covid, paxlovid. having even one risk factor, like being over 50, diabetes, or smoking increases your chances of severe covid. taken within five days of symptoms, paxlovid reduced the risk of developing severe covid-19 by 86%. paxlovid may strengthen or weaken other medicines. taking it with certain medicines may cause life threatening side effects or affect how paxlovid works. so it's critical to tell your doctor about all medicines you take including herbal supplements, because lab tests or changing the dose of your medicines may be needed. tell your doctor if you have any serious illnesses,

allergies, liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or use birth control. paxlovid may affect how your birth control works. don't take paxlovid if you're allergic to nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, or any of its ingredients. serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and issues with hiv medicines. other side effects include altered taste, diarrhea, high blood pressure, muscle aches, abdominal pain, nausea, and feeling unwell. with my asthma, i knew it could be riskier. if it's covid, paxlovid. ask your doctor or pharmacist if paxlovid is right for you.

ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy says if his country were to reach a peace deal with russia, giving up any ukrainian territory is off the table. speaking at the munich security conference he also made an urgent plea to nato allies and asked world leaders to quickly deliver the weapons needed to win this war. >> we need to hurry up. we need the speed, speed of our

agreements, speed of our delivery to strengthen our sling, speed of decisions to limit russian potential. there is no alternative to speed because it is the speed that the life depends on. >> zelenskyy's call for arms comes as russia is stepping up attacks and the ukrainian military is burning through ammunition. there have been calls of warning from nato leaders about the speed of production of some ammunition. my colleague christiane amanpour joins me now. you had an extensive conversation with germany's chancellor at the conference today. we're coming up on the one-year mark of this war. what's his message? >> reporter: well, his message was unity and staying in it for the long haul. you just showed that little clip of president zelenskyy saying, hurry, hurry, hurry, speed is of the essence.

we need everything you promised us to get to us and get to the front line in time for it to be useful and to make a difference. you heard him talk about a sling. that's obviously his reference to david and goliath. putin is goliath but says david can win if their friends, the nato allies, speed up and increase their weapons delivery. this is, you know, vintage eventually asking for this stuff from the beginning and the amount of hardware that he has received has been ramped up a lot but there is a problem with ammunition and they addressed it here but this is what olaf scholz talked about the long haul. you in your speech said we have to be ready for the long haul. i mean, you just strategize, you must think amongst yourselves how long this could last. do you have a target date? >> i think it is best to be prepared for a long war and it is wise to give putin the message that we are ready to stay all the time together with

ukraine and that we will constantly support the country. so it is not really a very good idea that in this conference or at this podium the two of us discuss the question when exactly in which months this war will end. the really important decision we should take all together is saying that we are willing to do it as long as necessary and that we will do our best. >> reporter: so the message is one of rock solid support. but in terms of the length, volodymyr zelenskyy said, it must end this year. so that is what he's hoping for. that is the bar that he is setting, victor. >> so we know also, vice president kamala harris, she's there meeting with leaders to reiterate u.s. support for ukraine in this war. what do we know about u.s. plans and expectations moving forward?

>> reporter: well, inter interestingly, olaf scholz, the chancellor, is going to a meeting with president biden at the white house after the anniversary so that's going to be very important. that's where they are going to strategize behind closed doors how they take this forward. you remember the whole tank situation was a carefully choreographed sort of first the brits then the americans and then finally germany decided to send the tanks so there's a lot of politics all around this as well and one thing they're saying is not only do we have to physically stay in ukraine's corner physically ramp up our production facilities so we can actually get the spare parts, so to speak, at a very precise and quick and rapid time for all the weapon systems but they need to keep their unity and their people on board. so it's quite a thing for the western alliance, but as i said, zelenskyy said he wants it done by the end of the year, you heard olaf scholz say that it

won't be. it will be a long war and there is no indication, no consensus that vladimir putin is -- shows any, any, any desire to enter any kind of association in good faith. >> christiane, i understand ukraine is front of mind, the war there, but this is a global security conference. when you look at what's happening in parts of africa, south america, haiti we've covered, as well, are these other threats, climate change as well, are they getting attention during this conference? >> reporter: not as much. it really has been billed as a one-year anniversary set piece, if you like, taking stock over the war in ukraine. that sucks all the oxygen just about every other international crisis and every other international effort that this alliance is making. you know, russians were not invited this year. it's not just they didn't come. they were not invited and so what this is about is trying to

keep the unity promise and to figure out how to ramp up production of the ammunition but, of course, the chinese foreign minister is here. the u.s. secretary of state is here. who knows whether they'll speak together but the chinese fm is going to speak tomorrow and, of course, perhaps about artificial intelligence and the like. and also they're going to ask him to not support -- there are questions about how much support, you know, is china giving to russia? i spoke with a german official who said we must keep getting a clear commitment from china to not actively support putin. >> christiane amman pure, thanks for bringing us part of that conversation. thank you for the reporting. ohio's governor says the city and village water in east palestine is safe to drink but do people who live there trust what they're hearing from the state and federal officials? we'll speak with one to find out.

parents in a new jersey school district are demanding that members of the school board resign after the recent suicide of a teenager there. adriana kuch was 14 years old and took her life after she was brutally attacked by students in the hallway recorded then posted online. the board held a meeting last night where students came forward with more allegations of bullying at central regional high school. >> we're here to protect the students but the students do not feel protected. i am going home scared and i am

going home feeling threatened by so many people here. >> cnn's athena jones is it covering this for us. it is heartbreaking to hear that account of feeling threatened, even when you go home. what else are these students saying? >> reporter: hi, victor, this was a powerful meeting. hundreds of people were in attendance. students, former students, parents, members of the community and you saw that one student's emotional testimony much of the testimony was like this. this is a meeting that the school board president said was being called to help begin the process of healing at the school and so we saw current and former students like the one you just saw speaking out about bullying that wasn't handled properly or according to some students not at all. they shared this emotional testimony about their own experiences being called names, being jumped in the hallways due to their sexual orientation. one student talked about having

photos taken of them and posted and shared on social media. here's a little more of what one student and also an aunt of a former student had to say. >> i'm here because i've been bully the every single day since i've been at this school since the seventh grade. people in this room have made fun of me and i don't know why you're here. i've been called slurs. had stuff thrown at me. >> why did it have to take a student taking her own life for us to hit rock bottom? it should have never gone there. rock bottom should have been the first time a student was bullied and should have been taken care of from that point on. we should be teaching our children tolerance and love and respect for everybody's differences. but, no, you all sit there silent. >> reporter: so you can just see the emotion and this was a meeting that lasted some time and some students also spoke about how the way they were bullied affected them

emotionally and psychologically. one student talked about acts of self-harm. another about contemplating even contemplating suicide. one young woman talked about cutting herself and calling it the only escape she had. that same woman saying she felt threatened every day. these students describe pleading with the faculty administration of these schools to do something about this bullying and meanwhile a parent also spoke up saying we were committed to holding the spotlight on you guys until you resolve this situation in a way that we are satisfied with and/or rewe move you from your positions of power so clearly an emotional meeting and people want to see the school district do more. >> athena, we talked about this on set especially in the case of adriana kuch, bullying is so much worse because when -- i was bullied as a teenager, as a kid. you could go home and it was gone for that moment. but now that it's on social media and played over and over and the comments that stream

joe biden and the first lady are offering support to senator john fetterman. he checked himself into walter reed medical center for clinical depression. he tweeted, getting the care you need is brave and important. we're grateful to you for leading by example. a source says fetterman will not resign his office because of his depression treatment. the pennsylvania democrat was elected in november after suffering a stroke in may. clinical psychologist jeff g gardia is with us now. jeff, good to see you. let's start with what you learned about with some of the challenges, the symptoms, according to his office. they say he lost weight, he wasn't eating or drinking water. you remember just last week he went to the hospital because he was feeling light-headed after the democratic event there. are these typical signs of severe depression? are there typical signs? >> yeah, and you're absolutely

right, victor. this is a typical sign of a severe depression. most people usually have the sadness, the emptiness, feeling hopeless. but here what we're seeing for him to stop the intake of water and food really does speak to something much more severe going on. they have identified it as a clinical depression. he's been hospitalized for it. so it does seem to be something that is severe, but the good news is, of course there are treatments, the psycho therapy, the anti-depressants and other medications. of course, they're going to stabilize him while he's in the hospital and he went in voluntarily. that's also good news. he didn't have to be committed for a 72-hour hold. >> that was my next question. i want to hear more about that. the anti-depressants and psycho therapy can happen outpatient, but he voluntarily checked himself in to walter reed.

what does the inpatient chair look like more than making sure he gets the sustenance that he needs? >> i'm sure they're going to run all sorts of physical and psychological tests to identify what is going on with him. they're going to look and see whether the stroke that he had in may may have affected that depression, because reportedly, he's had some issues with depression on and off in his life. we know that he's had some issues with regard to being able to process speech, and that's been a bit of a problem. so they want to see whether those situations are exacerbating what effever depren he may have had, but the most important thing is to get some physical and mental rest while in the hospital, because then he's forced to take a break. that's something he really

needs, in addition to being stabilize on treatment, whether anti-depressants, psycho therapy and so on. i think it will be a combination of all of those things. >> is it possible there could be some medical connection? i don't know if it's a causal relationship between the stroke and the depression? >> well, what we tend to see when someone has a stroke and they have perhaps some sort of a speech processing issue or cognitive issue, that in itself you're losing those abilities, whether it be temporary or something worse, tends to make you depressed. and so between that and between a history of depression as they report it, and then all of the challenges of still being able to serve, you know, as a senator and all of the accommodations,

it seems like this is someone who is being worn down. that is a huge effort on his part. but the great thing is, he's getting the support of so many people across the aisle, you know, within the democratic party, from republicans, from everyone, as he should. so many people have depression. 8 million americans -- i'm sorry, 8% of u.s. adults have depression. it just shows that you can live with it, that you can conquer it, that you can have a productive life. >> jeff gardia, always appreciate your expertise on this. thank you so much. the shelby county district attorney's office says it is reviewing as many as 100 cases related to the scorpion unit, and another officer involved in the beating death of tyre nichols. that unit was just shut down after that beating and that traffic stop. we'll have a live update ahead. 12 hours!!
