job of casting movies. make an award show. >> dana: just casting judgment. thank you. and thank you for joining us, everybody. happy monday. i am dana perino. i will see you on "the five" how was your weekend, bill hemmer? >> bill: fantastic. and you? >> dana: all good. >> bill: see you at 5:00, dan dana. here we go. ♪ good monday, everybody. i am bill hemmer as we begin a brand-new week checking several big stories, getting were just a moment ago that the atlanta mayor will hold a press conference in 30 minutes. we will carry that live for you. meanwhile, we are about to hear from the president, protests for police reform sweeping the nation. the president speaks at any moment during a roundtable and protecting seniors at the white house. there is outrage and calls for a change growing after a another police officer-involved shooting with a 27-year-old african-american man in atlanta.

the white house says that the president will announce an executive order on police and community reform tomorrow. we are covering all of this. from every angle. steve and ted, kristin fisher beginning this hour from the white house. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, bill, this executive order will likely be signed as early as tomorrow. the exact details are still under wraps, but based on what president trump said during his speech last week in dallas, it will include a mix of reforming police departments and revitalizing minority communities. during that speech president trump said that he wanted to improve economic development by increasing access to capital for business owners. he wants to address health care disparities and renewed calls on congress for -- and to request the police department using use of standard. saying that you should think of it as an executive order blue

that could ring the police departments and the community together. >> investing in things like a responders chemical responders would allow for police to do their job, but bring in social workers and experts that deal with mental health and deal with issues such as drug addiction or alcohol addiction, or other issues like homelessness. >> one states assumption to make about this executive order is that it will in no way support this movement to define police departments all over the count country. president trump has called her crazy and even the democratic leadership on capitol hill continues to say that they don't support it. >> nobody is going to defund the police. we can restructure the police forces. the fact of the matter is that the police have a role to play. what we would rather do is make sure that that role is one that meets the times.

>> in addition to this executive order, senate republicans led by senator tim scott are working on their own police reform that will likely include increasing police training expanding information sharing on cases of officer involved violence in some kind of mechanism to make it easier to remove officers who have a pattern of misbehavior. that proposal is expected to be formally released on wednesday, but we still don't know what president trump supporting it. >> bill: we are on standby for that word from the white house. thank you. let me get to atlanta where the family o of the 27-year-old blak man shot and killed by police over the weekend say that they are tired and frustrated and heartbroken. they shooting adding fuel to the debate over police use of deadly force happening after police got a call from a wendy's restaurant about a man sleeping in his car to drive through. police camera show that the thing started calmly. >> you are sleeping when i walked up here.

what's up, man? you have a long day or something? what's up? are you tired? all right, i will move my car. all right. >> can you step out for me please? >> yes, sir. >> bill: so he takes a sobriety test, but the trouble begins when the officer tries to arrest him. steve harrigan picks up the story in atlanta today. >> that's right, the latest details coming from the medical examiner's office stating that he died for them two shots to the back. and it all began friday night, 10:30 inside a wendy's where police were called because brooks' car was stopped in a drive-through lane and he was asleep. they did discuss things calmly for about 20 minutes prayed and failed a sobriety test, but things went wrong when they attempted to handcuff brooks. >> will you put your hands on your back. >> he managed to grab one of the

officers tasers during that struggle and fled, turned to fire at once, turned away, and at that .3 shots were fired by the police officer, that incident led off protests on saturday and some violence around the wendy's where it took place, that building burned to the ground, demonstrators blocked the key you for more than an hour taking firefighters more than an hour to reach the flames. more interaction on the streets today. thousands of demonstrators marching to the capital demanding more laws to regulate police behavior, there was an emotional press conference today where family members spoke including his widow. >> he is coming to take the ca case, it's going to be a long time before i heal. it's going to be a long time before this family heals.

like i said, i'm just thankful for everything that everyone is out there doing. and i just ask that if you can keep it as a peaceful protest, that would be wonderful. because we want to keep his name positive. and great. >> brooks wife calling for peaceful protests, leaving behind for children. >> and q, we will bring in ted williams, a former d.c. detective, and good afternoon to you, i know that you have been through the story, all the facts based on what we know at the moment. if this were to go to a jury, could you get a prosecution? >> yes, this is a sad state of events that took place, and i assured the family today that they are calling for justice and they want a prosecution. i've even seen the d.a. who would be responsible for prosecution, powell hall would come out and just about move

forward. the question that when answered, would there be a successful prosecution of this case, and i think that the supreme court in a case where it is a 1989 decision has given about three registers that are necessary for a successful prosecution. one, you have to look at the severity of the crime that is issued. or whether the suspect posed an immediate threat to the safety of those officers or others. and this is the one that really is going to break the excessive prosecution in this case. whether or not the officer -- he and mr. brooks was objectively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight. that is what has been laid out by the supreme court and when

you look at the facts in this situation and you look at the video, there are -- there is no doubt about it that mr. brooks grabs the cops taser and took off. >> bill: there is another big story in seattle, you are dubious about a conviction based on that answer. >> absolutely. >> bill: this is in the meantime, the seattle police chief who made a comment on cbs yesterday is getting a lot of play, and i'm trying to figure out how this ends. i don't have a clear way to figure it out, here's the police chief and what she said on sunday. >> just realized that there was a moment, an epiphany that this is a pivotal moment in history. we are going to move in a different direction and policing will never be the same as it was before. >> bill: do you agree with that? policing will never be the same again? >> i believe it never will be the same again. but what is going on in seattle in the so-called autonomous zone

is a complete mess, you have demonstrators in there that have their own personal attempt for answers. the police department disbanded. they want free education, and something that you take exception to is that they are talking about everyone versus $10, i don't know what that means. but i think that they will have a very, very difficult time dislodging the demonstrators, the longer this goes on, the more difficult it will be -- >> bill: she said policing will never be the same as it was before. can you define what that means, possibly, ted. >> it is debatable what she is speaking, and it is not the police that are taking place, because they have taken over a precinct to there. if so what she is saying is that police will never be the same, i think what she is speaking of is

how it will be within communication. there is nothing wrong with policing in that community. what is wrong is to allow these demonstrators in the precinct and the six blocks within. >> bill: ted, thank you for that. looks like force will be used there at some point. ted williams, thank you. nice to see you, sir. covid case is rising in more than 20 states as they fall in just about as many others. how do we figure this one out? dr. with leading research, also outrage over russian court sends a u.s. citizen to 16 years in jail. and some republican insiders predicting trump's reelection in a landslide. we will ask our team about that coming up at the bottom of the hour.

>> bill: we mention a moment ago, the mayor of atlanta giving an update on rayshard brooks, happening at 3:30, we will take you down to georgia when that begins. in the meantime come to the white house we go. >> i do not want to downplay or argue against the fact that it is happening. but i think that it is something that we have to get use to. i think that it is controllable. we have better equipment.

we have much more experience in handling these hot spots. a small metropolitan areas. we are not intending to close down the economy. we do not believe that this is a second wave. >> bill: there was larry kudlow speaking for the white house, optimistic about reopening the economy is covid-19 cases have hit record highs. here's what we got. dana from johns hopkins university says that 21 states and d.c. reported an increase in the number of cases that are on the map in yellow, by comparison, 20 states report a decrease in cases. those states are in blue. want to bring in the doctor of the harvard director global institute. how are you doing, thank you for coming back? i am so confused what to think. tell me. >> well, bill, thank you for having me back on. are not totally surprised to see this. what we saw was around memorial day, the country

started to open up, and some states were in pretty good shape, and have actually open very slowly, other states already had a lot of cases in the open pretty rapidly. what i think we are seeing is a mix of some of that higher level of cases and some outbreaks. we have also gotten better on testing, so that explains a little bit. but with these increases we are seeing decreases in hospitalization and that is concerning. >> bill: respected gentlemen, university of minnesota with chris wallace on "fox news sunday." this is the comment that caught my ear, give this a listen. >> i think what we are really talking about here and now is that what does reopening do? what do the protest do? can we just have to be humble and say that we are in an unsure moment right now it is happening in this country. >> bill: he was saying that he does not have a good answer for us and because of that, the experts need to stay humble. what do you think of that? >> i completely agree, he is

absolutely right. we have to remain humble. if there have been a few things that have surprised us. it certainly surprised me and, when georgia opened up i thought it was a little bit too early and i was worried that we would see big increases in georgia. we didn't. so i think that we have to keep looking at the data as i am seeing the data, i'm getting worried that there are states where the numbers are increasing pretty fast, and we have to get our arms around her. because nolte wants to be in a position where we have to decide whether we shut down again. >> bill: the white house keep saying no second shutdown, dr. marc siegel thinks that this is not a second wave, he thinks that different parts of the country are still in the first wave, do you think that is right? >> i do. before you get to the second wave, the first wave has to get done, remember, when we called the first wave primarily in a small number of dots. new york, new jersey, new orleans, parts of california, seattle. what we were seeing is the rest of the country experiencing the

first wave. so i'm worried that we would see lots of cases and a bunch of states that have not experienced them. and i agree with mr. larry kudlow in the white house that we don't want to shut down again. the question is not do we want to shut down, it's can we get it control of the virus. if we can come we don't have to shut down. but that's whether we do the work to do that or not. >> one last point, i look back in hindsight and i think about the 14-day period in new york, it was dark could come of these hospitals and doctors and physicians were seeing things that they can ever imagine, and that led to the rolling shutdown across the country, today, doctor, is there a single american hospital that is at or near capacity? >> i think what i am seeing from the data is that there are hospitals and parts of alabama that are getting pretty close to capacity or at capacity. we are seeing capacity issues coming out in arizona.

and remember hospital capacity is always the last thing. first you get a wave and cases, then hospitalization, then the icu pluralistic full. if we wait until they get full the act there will be a large wave of patients behind them and we will be in big trouble. this is a virus where you want to be ahead of the virus, not behind. >> bill: today that is not the case? >> not right now, but trends are worries, in many places across the country that has many, many of us concern. >> bill: come on back really soon. thank you for coming on today. thanks. here's ben carson. >> we have reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to ascribe some nefarious notion to it, we really need to move away from that. we need to move away from being offended by everything. >> bill: dr. ben carson raises an interesting point, is that overdue or hiding history? a talk with the author shelby steele about the push to rename

military bases and remove all symbols of the confederacy -- confederacy in a moment. president trump and joe biden posting some big fund-raising numbers. who has the most steam in the summer, we have an answer coming up next. ♪ [♪] when you have diabetes, managing your blood sugar is crucial. try boost glucose control. the patented blend is clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels. it provides 60% more protein than the leading diabetes nutrition shake. try boost glucose control.

>> bill: at the microphone, derman shea, dropping in for a headline here. >> why? is this 21st century policing. intelligence, data, shots fath father, video, dna, and building prosecutable cases. it continues to be building these cases on a small number of

people that unfortunately still terrorize parts of the city. however, the key difference, we must do it in a manner that builds trust between the offices and the community they serve. i started speaking about a number of reforms that have just recently been passed, make no mistake this is a seismic shift in the culture of how the nypd police is this great city. it will be felt immediately throughout the five district attorney's offices, it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect. all right, i will take some questions. >> commissioner, where did you go on go on and to crime? >> it is a big move when you look at culturally how we police the city, john. and what we always struggle with, i believe as police executives is not keeping crime down, it's keeping crime down.

and keeping the community working with us. and i think that those two things have been high. i have considered this in the realm of closing one of the chapters of stop, question coming in first. putting a dead that high a time this is no reflection whatsoever on the men and women of the police department doing the work. this is a policy shift coming for me personally, and we are doing what i and others before me asked. they have done an exceptional job, but i think that it is time to move forward and change how we police in the city. we can do it with brains, and i'll end move away with the brute force. it is lost on no one, certainly not the people that live in the neighborhoods that we serve that indoor being stopped.

or their children being stopped. we can do it better. we can do it smarter, and we will. >> so i just wanted to ask you about 30 hours over the past month -- >> something about the anti-crime bringing jobs into the conversation? >> it is certainly one of the more proactive units in this job, it will continue to be plainclothes units in the nypd, whether it is in surveillance teams, whether it is narcotics or things of that nature, but when you look historically out of floyd and out of the monitor ship, and you look at the number of anti-crime offices that operate within new york city and you look at the number of

disproportionate quite frankly percentage of complaints, shootings, and who they are doing exactly what is asked of them, again, i think that we can do better. i think that policing in 2020 is not what it was five, ten, or 15 years ago. we have shown that we can build prosecutable cases with evidence, with intelligence, with video, and we will need -- make no mistake, we will need the cooperation of the five district attorneys to continue to keep new york city the safest big city in america. but we also have to do it with the communities that we serve. meaning cooperation. we need trust, and all of this goes into the it's decision of mine. >> a lot of the anti-crime men -- >> and women. >> they were used during the protest, that something that i had not seen before in terms of the way that they were being used during the protest, did you look at any of that activity during the protests? did that in any way affect

anything? >> that did not factor in, the protests really did not factor in. and what i will tell you to make you understand is that prior to me having this job, we scrutinize every police involved shooting very closely. going back a year i have had conversations with people in this agency about the anti-crime teams. they do amazing work, they truly do. they put their lives on the line day and night in the city going after it by the very nature of what they do, people that carry guns every day. as a result of that, they get into a number of police involved shootings. so i have been looking at how they retired, should we have them in rank jackets or uniform going back to last year. those conversations have continued, and never pulled the plug on it, but it was always in the back of my mind. i think when you have this

moment in time right now, it was clear to me this week, this is not without risk. let me be clear, and the risk will fall squarely on my shoulders. i worry one i make this decision of unintended consequences, do we recover less guns? but it is also how we recover the guns. it's what i am asking my officers to do. and i have to protect the people that live in the city. i have to make sure that we build trust with the residents of the city. i also have to protect my cops. and i think that this decision is the right decision and it is the right decision at this time, certainly. there are roughly about 600, we can get you those numbers, and that 77 precinct, each have an anti-crime team, and then we have the housing psas that have anti-crime teams that are primarily who we are talking about right here. this one will not affect transit, transit anti-crime is

existing for completely different purposes. just one or two more? >> i was wondering if you could just explain how it was last year to to how it is this year? >> bill: this is a very interesting statement from the police department, what he is describing a not a whole lot of detail, we will flush that out as we move throughout the hours, but a seismic shift in how new york polices its streets. he talked about culturally how we police the city, keeping crime down and keep in community working with us, we need to be better, we need to be smarter, and we will. with me now, shelby steele, author of "shame, how america has passed has polarized our country." thank you for your time. i did not want to talk about this specifically, but i will, because the police commissioner just framed it for us. he is talking about a moment in time.

what is this moment in time for now? >> well, they're up in other moments similar to this with the protests that we have been looking at and so forth, i just did a documentary on ferguson, which was a very similar moment in time about six years ago, but this is very similar to that and america is working out its history, i think. we are a very great nation and a very complex nation, and we have done some marvelous things and some horrible things. and we i think have been much in the 20th century certainly if not longer than that working our way through that to what kind of democracy we want to be. so i think that that is the broader. >> bill: black lives matter

has gotten a lot of attention over the past several weeks, and the group seems to be growing. in the group also, starbuck says if you want to wear black lives matter t-shirt, you can do that and work there. but the website says we call for a national defunding of police. i'm trying to take you through time, to figure out what is coming up from six months or now or a year from now. the nfl coaches say that you can kneel, maybe the players do it, maybe they don't. i don't know what the fans in the stands do, do they applaud, do they take a knee? do they turn their back? it seems like we are headed towards this societal stew in a way that i think is unpredictable. how do you see that going? >> i think it is unpredictable, because it is disingenuous and very hard. one of the main sources of

racial inequality in america today is the underdevelopment of minorities. blacks have gone through four centuries of oppression, you don't come out of that and you're just all of a sudden as developed as everybody else. it takes a huge effort, black lives matter, they made me sad. because they are not -- they are continuing to say the victimization, racism is the main problem. in the main barrier to becoming equal with everybody else. it's not. america has done amazing progress on that level. this is not a country that wants to be racist anymore. that victory has been pretty much with won. not perfectly, but that point has been made. the point now has to be development.

if a child in the fourth grade does not know how to read and can ten -- they are pretty much their entire life is going to look compromised by that inability. what does black lives matter have to say about the development of black children, what about the disintegration of the black family, the fact that 75% of all black children are born without a father, what social program is going to pick that and fix it? the problems that black america faces today are our problems. it was obviously unfair that history put us in this position. but here we are, nevertheless. what i want to know, and we look at these conflicts, what i -- what are we as black americans going to do to achieve true equity with everyone else?

asking to lower the standards and get rid of tests, standards, we've been doing that for 60 years. in the greatest group in ameri america. >> bill: i saw what you said over the weekend, there is opportunity in this country around every corner. i appreciate that and the fact that you came on today. i hope that you come back sometime very soon. it is a long conversation that needs to be now. thank you, sir. more now with what is happening in seattle, a myriad of demonstrators are now calling the capitol hill organize protest. they have been calling and autonomous hill, but that changed and gave people the wrong intention of what their intention was. dan springer has been trying to figure that out in seattle. >> they don't want to succeed, they want changes and they want the police department abolished. it was one week ago that the seattle police department left the precinct behind me, and as

you can see it is still boarded up and absolutely no indication that the city plans to reoccupy that with police department anytime soon. over the weekend there were large crowds here in the message is really getting through to big numbers of people as you can see a lot of folks from seattle coming through and checking out what is happening here. and also a large number of tenants appear over the weekend. but the numbers have also concerned fire departments, not the numbers of people, but the fact that they cannot get their rigs in and out. >> i don't think the concerns are shrinking the number of people, that the concerns are creating access and interest points. you can't control the crowds and the people, they are going to come. but we can try to figure out how to get the equipment in. >> we have seen a large number

of tenants added in the last couple of days. well over 100 now, and a little bit about commune, and people are moving out of this area, we have seen a moving truck, and at least one building had eight tenants moved out over the last couple of days and businesses remained closed, and we see a lot of graffiti removal going on. also representing a lot of businesses in the country, here's what they had to say about people doing business here. >> they are scared. and they are worried, they are afraid to open their businesses, property owners are afraid to step forward and speak out. >> as far as the spv, we know that at least 35 officers took early retirement last week. we got that from the police killed president and it is a tough time to be a cop in seattle, and that's why a lot of people have left the department. >> bill: darren springer, nice to see you today in seattle. we will speak to you again

tomorrow. president trump meanwhile trailing joe biden in the polls that republican party leaders say they are not concerned could here's the headline on politico, we are thinking landslide. beyond d.c., g.o.p. officials say he is on the glide path to reelection. i want to bring in mo elleithee, senior spokesperson for hillary clinton, and former speechwriter for george w. gentleman, nice to have you back. mo, are you ready for a landslide? >> i think anybody on either side of this race that is expecting a landslide ought to rethink it. it will be a close election. they tend to be these days. but i think what a lot of these republican officials out in the states are leaning on is there support amongst republicans. the president is holding on a tight grip with his base, the challenge for them is that there

are fewer republicans today than there used to be. we are seeing republican registration down for the first time. we are seeing independent, registered independents out registering independent republicans, while they are holding on to their base, it is a shrinking base, and the president has not been doing a lot to reach out beyond that. >> bill: i did not think that you are going to take the bait, just to be clear. mark, what about you? >> i agree with my friend mo that it will probably not be a landslide on either side, but what it will be is particularly because of covid will be a base selection then even 2016. when there is that virus, the deadly virus without a cure, then only the most motivated voters will go to the polls. and so enthusiasm matters. and joe biden has a massive enthusiasm gap with the donald trump. there wa was a washington post "abc news" poll that showed that only 24% of biden voters are

enthusiastic to vote for him, the lowest level of enthusiasm for a democratic presidential candidate in 20 years. donald trump, 54 percent are very enthusiastic for voting for him. if you look at the rally that he will have in tulsa, biden and the democrats are complaining about it is because they cannot fill that stadium with biden supporters. trump has an enthusiasm advantage, and that is a big advantage. >> bill: two things picking up, trump campaign said 800,000 requests for that rally and tulsa, if you had half of that it would be extraordinary. apparently they raise $14 million in one day for the currency, it's a pretty good haul? >> it is. and the dnc and biden's campaign announced a record haul for themselves as well. there is a lot of energy on both sides. i might that the mark is that

there is as much anti-trump enthusiasm on the left as there is pro trump enthusiasm on the right. the number of people who strongly disapprove, not just disapprove, but strongly disapprove of the job's approval number is attitude record numbers. there is a lot of energy negative towards the president and amongst his base, the question is the people in the middle. and a lot of those folks in the middle are just going to be tired of the chaos. >> bill: you may be right. >> throughout this administration. >> bill: i'm pressed for time, we have a press conference coming up. but here's one line from folks in ohio, let's returning mid this -- return to this, the economy is coming back, polls are unreliable, joe biden is too frail to last coming in the media does not get it. that's how they are seeing the election less than five months out. >> i agree with that.

and the other point is that negative enthusiasm does not win collections. if it did, we would be emmett romney second turn. the reality is you have to win and election and gain some enthusiasm for your candidate. president trump has that and joe biden doesn't. >> bill: we have a lot of monday's ahead of us. mo and mark, someday liberated from his attic, but it still looks good. >> let me out. >> bill: we are pulling for you. thank you. waiting on the mayor to give an update for the police shooting of rayshard brooks. expected at 3:30, we will take you there live when she begins in atlanta. meanwhile, beijing taking wartime measures to contain a possible new outbreak of covid. plus the family of an american asking a family for help after the american was sentenced for 16 years behind bars in russia.

>> good afternoon, bill, paul welland's lawyer say that they have appealed the decision. but the family says the people of russia do not expect justice from their judicial system and neither does paul welland. they say that it was all a ploy to extract concessions from the u.s. government whose brothers david says "our family will continue to fight for paul's release. to the russian government has been clear, through statements from the ministry of foreign affairs that it expected to extract concessions, but that paul's inclusion in those discussions would only happen after a conviction. that time is here. at his sentencing, paul welland called the russian court process slimy politics and political theater and held up a sign saying sham trial. as he was sentenced, he told the court he had no idea what the judge was saying because he had no translator. russian authorities arrested him about a year and half ago in moscow. paul welland says the friend

gave him a flash drive he thought had photos on it. russian government maintains that the drive contained classified information. the deputy attorney -- suggesting a prisoner swap with the u.s. we have repeatedly opposed options where it would be possible for those u.s. citizens who were serving sentences in russia to be exchanged for russian citizens who are serving sentences on far-fetched unlawful charges in the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo says that the treatment of paul welland at the hands of the russian authorities has been appalling. russia failed to provide them with a fair hearing before an independent and impartial tribunal. we demand paul welland's immediate release. john sullivan says that did this is a mockery of justice as u.s. officials tried to push to get him released. >> bill: working that story, another covid-19 outbreak hitting china, and sparking a

new round of strict lockdowns in the capital city of beijing. expert on asia, author of the coming collapse of china with me now, welcome back. it has been a few weeks. what is happening in beijing with the virus? >> for 55 days, bill, there were no cases that were locally transmitted come on thursday you had a spike of cases, now officially 79, the world health organization says that it is going to be 100 in a few hours. so this is in some sense surprising. >> bill: the cases are linked to a market in the southwest corner of beijing. they sell fruit and vegetables, they also sell meat and seafood, is this where the latest round came from? >> that's what beijing authorities say. they said that it came from a piece of important -- imported salmon, and they say that the new strand -- >> bill: imported from where?

>> apparently from europe, because they say that the strain that today are witnessing is the same or very close to what they see in europe. i'm not so sure that is the case, bill, because although they have not been officially reported, there have been clusters of cases in beijing for quite some time. >> bill: we will follow that. they are saying that they are going to wartime measures, whatever that means. i apologize paid we have a lot of breaking news this hour. we will bring her back, the mayor of atlanta now speaking. >> 200 pounds, and i know that this is a very general description, last seen wearing a dark ball cap, dark ball cap, long white sleeve t-shirt, dark jeans, and carrying a drawstring type backpack. we are also asking for the public assistance in identifying anyone in the area on friday

morning, june 12th at about 9 9:40:00 a.m. where units were called to 300 turner drive on a report of a person who had been injured there. on the scene, officers discovered the body of an adult male who had suffered from at least one gunshot wound. this was under the eye 20 overpass at windsor street. i'm sorry, those are two separate -- i'm going to have captain price clarify these locations for you. because i have ted turner drive, and also under the eye 20 overpass at windsor street. on monday june 1st at about on one:40:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to baker highland, that at pete lind avenue to another person who had been shot

as well, again, we know that the first two incidents have been linked, and we suspect that the third is also related to, and we are continuing to gather information, but as for the public health in providing -- help in providing any information you have had with surveillance cameras, video footage, or if you were in the area during any of these times, we ask that you provide that information. and again, i will have captain price clarify the times and these locations. we are also working with our continuing -- continuum of care and service providers to ensure that we are communicating with the homeless population in the y that we have done in other emergency events to make sure that the word is out and that today are also on high alert.

i again want to publicly express my condolences to the family of rayshard brooks. and update to you on additional actions that i am taking today on behalf of the city of atlanta to address many of the issues over the past few days have become abundantly clear are problematic within the city of atlanta. as many of you will know, over a week ago, we announced the creation of a task force, and this was in response to president obama's challenge to cities across the country to take a proactive look at our use of force policy. and to make recommendations. the task force convened for the first time last week, and we

anticipated having an initial within 14 days with community input, and final recommendations within 45 days. friday evening, we saw the murder of rayshard brooks. and as i have said before, i am often reminded of the words of dr. martin luther king jr., there is a fierce urgency of now in our communities. and that fierce urgency of now says that while our advisory committee continues to work to make recommendations, to help us implement and review all of our policies in the city of atlanta, it is clear that we do not have another day, another minute, another hour to waste. so as we look forward to receiving the very thoughtful recommendation, and i appreciate

it they are. in interim, i am signing an administrative order, a series of administration orders today calling joshua williams, chief officer, to coordinate with the interim police chief who implemented adaptive reforms of the operating procedures and work rules of atb concerning use of force policies. specifically these reforms must comply with state law concerning the use of force and they will include addressing apbs officers to response to generally and specifically using deadly force in accordance with the principle that officers should use only the amount of objectively reasonable force necessary to successfully protect themselves or others to affect an arrest or to bring an incident under control when dealing with members of the community,

suspects, detainees, et cetera. i'm also requiring the escalade station generally and specifically prior to the use of deadly force in accordance with the principle that officers should use de-escalation techniques to gain voluntary compliance and avoid or minimize the use of physical force and to continuously develop updated training officers in de-escalation techniques. also requiring the reporting of all uses of deadly force by police officers to the citizens review board, adopting and implementing a duty to intervene whereby if a police officer sees another officer using force, that which is beyond reasonable under the circumstances that they are duty-bound to intercede and prevent that use of force, or where there is an on-duty supervisor, and also provide lawful restrictions on when an

officer may use deadly force towards the suspect who is in a moving vehicle. we understand and atlanta and across the nation that this is the beginning of a great deal of work that lies ahead of us, but to make sure that we are doing all we can do to protect our community and to follow the principles that were set forth by the obama-biden administration on 21st century policing. it's clear that our police officers are to be guardians and not warriors within our communities. we stand on the strong legacy of civil rights in the city, and in this country. and it is for that reason that i am also signing an additional executive order that will

hopefully allow us as we continue to grieve and show our frustration and anger as a nation, that will create the framework that will allow us to move speak out and an effort for us to develop an appeal for human rights, i am signing administrative order that will convene. >> we are monitoring right there, commenting on the shooting of rayshard brooks. right now the president is addressing this. this is from a few minutes ago. >> we will be talking about things that we have been watching and seeing for the last month. we are going to have some solutions, some good solutions and some of them, it's about great people. we need great people and our police departments and we have mostly great people.
