pharrell williams. i look forward to seeing you -- when i return. "nightline" is next, enjoy. this is "nightline." tonight, in his own words. killed by police. now the new video surfacing, rayshard brooks sharing his struggles with life after prison. >> i'm not the type of person to give up. i'm going to keep going until i'm wh >> how one man's serving time and grappling with a fresh start may help shape the future of policing in america. plus, taking on trump. john bolton, the president's former trusted national security advi al him incompetent and unfit.

no questions off limits. >> how would you describe trump's relationship with vladimir putin? >> i think putin thinks i can play him like a fiddle. >> "nightline" starts right now with juju chang. >> good evening, thanks for joining us. tonight, swift action taken against two atlanta police officers, charged in the murder of rayshard brooks, a black man, a husband, a father, whose personal struggles with life after serving time are now coming to light in a newly-released video. >> okay, well, i'm ray slashardd brooks, 27 years of age, have three kids, happily married. >> reporter: months before his death in a fast food parking lot, rayshard brooks was opening up about his life's mistakes and the rock eye roy road to redemp. >> i feel like some of the system could look at us as individuals. we do have lives, where it's just a mistake we made, you

know, and, you know, not, not just do us as if we are andhis d dialog at the intersection of policing. questions about if and when police should be allowed to use deadly force. brooks had had run-ins with the police in the past. after being convicted of multiple felonies, including cruelty to children and false imprisonment. it seems he was trying to make amends, interviews by "reconnect", a tech startup, focussed on criminal reform. >> you pay your debt dto societ. >> how did your organization connect with rayshard? >> we wanted to make sure we got the voices impacted by the

criminal justice system. it was a great fit. seemed to be eager to tell his story. >> we have to go back and fix things with our kids and try to gain that trust back, you know, with being away, my oldest daughter, dad, hey, i love you so much, but been? >> reporter: today atlanta was a city divided as former officer garrett rolfe and devon brosnan turned themselves in. brosnan walked out after posting a $50,000 bond and appearing on msnbc. >> i felt he was friendly. i was respectful. you know, i was respectful to him. and i felt like i was someone who needed my help. i was there to do what i could for him to make sure he was safe. >> reporter: rolfe facing 11 charges after shooting brooks in the back including one for

felony murder. these photos influenced the decision, which i says show rolfe kicking brooks and shows the other officer standing on brooks' shoulder. rolfe said "i got him" after he shot brooks and they waited more than two minutes before trying to save his life. >> he laid out pretty well that he was focussing on the actions after the shooting. the kicking of rayshard brooks, the comments that the officer makes about "i got him." a lot of that goes to the fact that he wasn't fearful for his life but instead was committing through. and it hurt. it hurt really bad. >> reporter: the charges come at a time of heightened tension between law enforcement and some in the community.

officers across the city calling in sick. the official line from police is that the numbers are small, saying in statements, we have enough resources to maintain operations and remain able to respond to incidents. the rank and file believe that it was justified and tt thesefi polieasons. os osunsami that they feel unsupported. >> normally they take a lot longer and everybody look noos it further. this is still political. >> reporter: the deadly encounter occurred last friday night when two officers responded to a call about a man blocking traffic at this drive through. officer brosnan aroshe >> what's up, man? you're parked in the drive through right now.

hey, sir! you all right? you're parked, you're sitting in the drive through line here. >> reporter: minutes after officer brosnan arrives, brooks pulls over into a parking spot. he hs only th d.>> youaid oin imaar d dwa garrett rolfe arrives just after 11:00 p.m. >> tell me, i wasn't here. so can you tell me what happened before we got >> nothing happened. i just got here and was getting something to eat. >> reporter: brooks tells the officer he has no weapons. he's then put through a field sobriety test and breathalyzer, .108. the legal limit is p.08. >> i think you've had too much to be driving.

>> reporter: at 11:23 p.m., the encounter takes a turn when the officers attempt to take him into custody. >> when the cuffs came out, it's not that rare. there is a serious fear of not only interacting with the police but also getting caught in thei. we have seen people dying in police ctody, losing their s werhat we saw from mr. brooks. >> reporter: brooks reaches and grabs officer brosnan's stun gun. brooks starts to run, officer rolfe chasing after him. this is when it turns fatal. when you were able to put two and two together and say, oh, rayshard, that man in the video, they're the same person. >> yeah. >> reporter: what did that feel like in your gut? >> another life taken too soon, and i felt that, you know, what he talked about in his video was the pressures, the expectations that he wanted to meet, and the

little time that he was able to spend with his children. and now i thought, well, he'll never be able to see his children again, she'll never be able to hold her husband again. that's just another missed opportunity. >> us being taken away from our family, it's hurting us. but it's hurting our family the most. you know, so, as we go through these trials and tribulations, it's, it's hurting our kids, and it's taking away from our families. >> reporter: during these last few months, we've seen a real re-examination of the racial inequality that is systemic in our systems across the board. connect the dots for us of what we're seeing in the nvtis arouns matter and mass incarceration and that endless cycle. >> well, see, the system's broken. right now, i think it's an awakening that we're recognizing

this auto pilot system needs to be dealt with in a way that tailors responses. you see that there are over 44% of the jail population is african-american. you see if you look at any state or city, what their demographics are. you have to look at the demographics of the population and jail are. >> reporter: in the post on the be with site your team notes, you see a man who badly wants to be heard, who wants to make an impact. do you think rayshard was heard in this video? >> i think as of today a lot more americans hear him now than he would have if we kept that footage. i think he's heard. i think even if you scream into a crowd, unless everybody stands still for a moment and pays attention, it doesn't matter how hard you scream or what you're saying. and right now, he is saying

something that is an important conversation to continue. >> a public viewing foray shard brooks will be held next monday in atlanta. up next, tearing into president trump, why his former top aide says mr. trump is not fit for office. less than world-s service will do. that's why we're expanding your range of choices. many dealers now offer optional pick-up & delivery and at-home maintenance, as well as online shopping with home delivery and special finance arrangements. so, whether you visit your local dealer r comfor and 90-day first-payment deferral on any model. a lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher doesn't get everything clean. i tell them, it may be your detergent... that's why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum... ...with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time.

speak. president trump's former national security adviser preparing to release a bombshell book that the president is currently suing to block from publication. regardless, bolton is speaking out to abc's martha raddatz about why he thinks the commander in chief is incompeten reporte was dlongestl security adviser, john bolton, at president trump's side for some of our country's most important national security decisions. and what disturbed. a president who puts reelection

above the country's interest and makes decisions for personal gain, leading bolton to a stunning conclusion. you describe the president as erratic, foolish. behaved irrationally, bizarrely. you can't leave him alone for a moment, saw conspiracies behind rocks and was stunningly uninformed. he couldn't tell the difference between his personal interests and the country's interests. ? >> there really isn't any guiding principle it that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection. >> you say that you were astonished by what you saw. a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation? >> i think he was so focussed on the reelection that longer-testimony considerations fell by the wayside. so, if he thought he could get a

photo opportunity with kim jong un at the demilitarized zone in korea, there was considerable emphasis on the photo opportunity and little to what it meant for the bargaining positions for the united states. >> reporter: bolton, in his new book saying trump viewed the negotiations with the nuclear-armed north korea as theater, asking how many people would be covering the event, and eager to present kim jong un with a trump-autographed copy of elton john's "rocket man" cd, the nickname trump had given kim. bolton saying giving this cd to kim remain add high priority for several months. not the only foreign leader he was trying to make deals. he asked china's president xi to buy u.s. soybeans to help trump

with farm states, pleading with xi to ensure he'd win. and russia's president, bolton said vladimir putin couldn't wait to get in a room alone with donald trump. how would you describe trump's relationship with vladimir putin? >> i think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. i think putin is smart, tough, he plays a bad hand extremely well. i think he sees that he's not faced with the serious adversary here, and i works he works on hi works on him and he works on him. i don't think he's worried about donald trump. the president may be a superb dealer with real estate in manhattan, dealing with arms and many, many other security issues are things far removed from his life experience. when you're dealing with somebody like putin, who has made his life understanding

russia's strategic position in the world, against donald trump, who doesn't enjoy reading about these issues or learning about them, it's a very difficult position for america to be in. >> reporter: but bolton has been heavily criticized himself, for not testifying in the impeachment hearing last year, saying now it was because the focus was too narrow and politicized and that congress should have investigated trump for additional possible impeachable offenses saying now he heard first hand from trump that security aid to ukraine was directly tied to his request that joe biden and others be investigated by the ukrainian president. >> martha, good evening. you sat down with john bolton for this highly-anticipated no-holds-barred interview, and the administration is still trying to stop the release of

the book. what are the chances that that will succeed? >> john bolton doesn't think it will succeed and it would be very, very difficult to stop this book from being released. obviously, it's out there, there are hundreds of thousands of copies already in boxes ready to ship. there have been stories about, obviously the book day after day after day. so some of the information is out. i think it would be very, i have tough to stop this. >> and today, in a tweet, the president's calling john bolton a whacko and that his book is maid made up of lies and false stories. we use the word unprecedented to describe this white house, yet this is one of the highest-ranking officials to ever speak out so negatively against a sitting president. what do you make of these war of words? >> i think unprecedented is the perfect word in this circumstance. he is the highest-ranking

official i think in memory, in history to ever do this and t tt so, so comprehensively. i know there's a lot of turnover in the trump white house. but for 17 months, john bolton was at president trump's side for some of the most important foreign policy, and national security issues around. >> martha, how would you describe his demeanor throughout? >> i think john bolton was confident and calm. he seems to have quite the memory for every word in that book, no matter what i asked him. he could recall something from the book or something that happened to him. i think this is a man who took copious notes >> fascinating. we look forward to it. you can watch the full interview, sunday evening, 9:00/8:00 central right here on

up next, a day for dreamers at the supreme c

you try to stay ahead of the mess. but scrubbing still takes time. nothere's new powerwash sh spray. it's the faster way to clean as you go. just spray, wipe and rinse. it cleans grease five times faster. new dawn powerwash. spray, wipe, rinse.

that could mean an increase byin energy bills.. you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day.

stay well and keep it golden.

finally tonight, a supreme court victory for the dreamers. >> still feels very surreal.

i didn't expect it. >> this medical student came from el salvador when she was 8 years old and once again sees a future here. the supreme court today blocking president trump's decision to end daca, it means young d to stay in the u.s., at malaysia f least for now. >> the truth is, america is my home. >> for hundreds of thousands of dreamers, renewed hope. thanks for staying up with us, goodnight, america. ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da, ba, ♪ ba, da, ba, ba, da, ba, ♪ ♪ jimmy kimmel live this is ridiculous. >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. and guess what? it's almost summer.

this weekend, summer begins, just as i predicted it would. months ago. saturday is what's known as the summer solstice, which is the start of summer and the longest day of the year. hard to believe we still haven't experienced the longest day of this year yet. but we haven't. and the day after the solstice is father's day. so don't forget to not get your dad a gift! this father's day is tricky, because usually all dads want is to secretly get high in the garage, but they've already been doing that every day since march. so good luck. the strangest school year in modern history has finally come to a close. my daughter jane graduated from preschool this week, which she is very proud about, even though, let's be honest -- she got a degree in coloring. but it is a milestone, and it's never too soon to start planning for the future. so i sat down with jane to reflect on where she has been and to help her figure out where she's going. ♪
