7:15 am
vice-president talks with scott pelley tonight on the cbs eng news. on "face the nation" yesterday, former new york mayor rudy giuliani. >> when you say black lives matter, that's inherently racist. >> well, i think there are -- >> white lives matter, black lives, asian lives, hispanic lives matter. it is anti-american and racist. >> political director and moderator john dickerson joins us. >> good morning, charlie. >> what did you make of it. >> it depends on what he means by black lives matter. there is the movement and larger movement for social justice. the protest in dallas is called black lives matter. it is not clear what he means. what he seems to mean is that the black lives matter phrase is about black lives matter more. the black lives matter is the argument that black lives should
7:16 am
matter as much as. that's the disconnect. that's not an uncommon disconnect that he was speaking to there. >> that's why it is so frustrating, john. anybody in the black lives matter has never said that black lives matter more than yours. no one has said that. they're trying to bring attention to the cause that a lot of black, unarmed men are being shot by white police officers. and it is frustrating, i think, because people think dillon roof who did the shooting in charleston, south carolina, killing nine people, james holmes who killed 12 people from colorado, wounded 70. both white people, were both arrested, and not killed. you're thinking how are these people able to survive and an unarmed black men are being killed? it is very difficult. >> well, i think newt gingrich is the one who has in the last few days said that there is an -- white people thinking about this idea -- if you take
7:17 am
newt gingrich approach, you're under estimating the threat from police, then you begin conversations that in certain communities, young black men feel a sense of threat. that's what newt gingrich was talking about. giuliani was trying to push back saying there is an over focus, and that's what those in the african-american feel like there is also been too broad a brush in defining the black lives matter movement. >> there is a certain responsibility by politicians and former politicians to make sure the facts are clear. he said on your show yesterday that the real danger is that 99 out of 100 times other black kids are going to kill them. that's not true. >> well, yes, there is a fact issue in this entire conversation. i think what ends up happening is, you know, rudy giuliani was
7:18 am
trying to push back, while he was mixing, he was also conflating, it is possible that violence in certain neighborhoods can be bad and also possible that there are racial disparities in the criminal justice system. those two things can happen at the same time. >> according to the fbi statistics, 90% of black people are killed by black people. those are the facts. where is the onus on -- >> the issues need to be addressed. >> where does that conversation come from? >> well, where the conversation comes from at least from rudy giuliani, if you focus on black lives matter, you -- you can focus on both. when you're talking about the police, you're talking about a specific instance in which they're uses force, and that requires certain limits. that's a separate conversation from the violence happening in the african-american communities and mixing them only clouds the issue some people would argue. >> we want to talk about
7:19 am
politics as well. what about the president, is this going to be a political issue? is this going to sharpen and are people going to be responsible. all of us are frustrated. not you. everybody. >> yeah. >> what is the the president going to try to do? >> the president, this is a very tough for him, because he is trying to do two things. yesterday, when you saw the secretary of homeland security with commissioner bratton in new york, they were sending a clear message, we're not anti-police. but he also wants to speak to the legitimate fears he sees in the african-american community. >> john, thank you so much. >> to be continued. dallas police say the criticism after killing the sniper had the debate over robots with we are off to a beautiful start this monday morning with clear skies over the pyramid in san francisco. we do have a little bit of patchy coastal clouds developing along the coast. for the most part, plenty of

felony arson charges. dallas police face questions
7:33 am
over the way they took out the suspect in thursday's ambush. police sent a robot armed with sdplo explosives the kill the gunman and now criticized for using the military-style hardware. >> reporter: good morning. bomb squads will tell you these robots can do pretty much anything a person can do. go up stairs, have cameras and speakers to communicate, and also have these arms. and those arms would typically be used to investigate a suspicious package, but some police departments used them to do things like deliver tear gas. but for a police department to use a robot to kill, that was unprecedented. hours after micah johnson opened fire in downtown dallas he was cornered by police and told negotiators there were bombs around the city and threatened to kill more officers. the dallas mayor says there were no other options than to send in

7:35 am
departments have these weapons in their arsenal, it provides an opportunity to use them in a lot of different kinds of scenarios. >> i thought ingenious. >> reporter: this 54-year-old police chief compares the dallas police department's use of a robot to a high-tech version of sniper fire. >> you have a robot with c-4 explosives, someone's got to detonate that. so it's the same as pulling a trigger. >> reporter: montgomery county is one of about 40 fire departments in this country that operates its own bomb squad. chief goldstein says he doesn't see these as killer robots, in part because they're operated by a person back there in that truck and they don't come weaponized. also, they can cost in the vicinity of $60,000 apiece. charlie? >> chris, thanks. brent thompson was the first dallas area rapid police officer ever killed in the line of duty. he was married less than two weeks before he died.
7:36 am
j.d. spillit joins us. good morning. >> thank you. >> as you know, the whole world mourns for what happened in dallas and sends condolences. help us understand how all of dallas and especially its police and d.a.r.t. police are coping. >> you know, it's -- words cannot describe what we're going through, but i must say that the outboweri outpouring of support in the communities and the cities throughout the united states and in our case as far away as canada, london, england, has been absolutely outstanding. i can't say enough about the dallas police department, how we're working together to get through this traumatic event. >> i know, chief it is a very traumatic event. a lot of people, still trying to wrap our brains around what happened. i understand your department was very close. brent thompson had just married a fellow officer two weeks ago. what are you saying to your troops to get them through?
7:37 am
how are you -- what is your message to them and to the rest of us? >> you know, the message is, keep your head up. remember brent. remember how he would want us to carry on, in his absence. a smile, a hug, always a kind word. let's go do it. last night at a candlelight vigil, his partner got up to speak and he considered brent to be a big brother to him, because he didn't have a brother. and as he was preparing to make his speech, it was tough for him to get through it, others were going to assist, he said, i can do it, because that's what he would want me to do. >> the president is headed to dallas. what steps do you think need to happen to help heal the community? >> you know, the president has, he form add task force several months ago, and they came up. it was the president's task force for 21st century policing. in there are numerous recommendations. one of those things is use of force, training, what we have to
7:38 am
change our mind-set about use of force. the other is about training. but then it's about the community. how we relate to the community. the different ethnicities in the communities, and, also, how they relate to us. and, you know, that's a process that we're all going through. we're not there yet. but i can tell you that we are seriously working on that here in the state of texas, and especially here in dallas, and the north texas region. >> have you any understanding of the anger that drive as man like this to do this? >> you know, i really can't, and i was thinking about that this morning as i came in. he was a veteran. i'm a veteran. some of those officers that was killed were veterans. brent was a veteran. three of the dallas officers i know were veterans. that is just incomprehensible and i just cannot wrap my brains around veterans doing that when
7:39 am
we have gone all over the world to put our lives on the line protecting other countries, ensuring their freedoms, and we come home and another veteran kills other veterans who are yet protecting and serving as police offic officers. >> it's also raised very ufr comfortable confess about race in is country, what we need to do and how far apart we still are. what do you say about that, chief, today? >> you're exactly right. this isn't just a dallas issue. >> right. >> this is a societal issue, and it's something that we have got to figure out how to address. i don't have the answers, but i know mayor rawlings here in the city of dallas, as "go oh " players.

car key mess in carquinez murdered officers while other cities protest violence by police. we'll ask congressman elijah cummings how to bring both sides together. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> it all started with a call that protesters were trying to get on to the interstate. then we heard protesters hurling bottles at officers. >> investigators are trying to determine whether anyone may have had prior knowledge of the attack. heme eme is family. wives and daughters remembering loved ones, police officers rallying around one of their

through evidence this morning. they're learning more about the sniper who killed five police officers. notes and flowers fill a memorial site outside dallas police headquarters, prayer vigil took place over the weekend in the city. the gunman was 25-year-old micah johnson. police believe he had plans for a larger attack. they suspect he acted because of last week's deadly police shootings of black men in minnesota and louisiana. >> and the dallas police chief says johnson taunted officers during a roughly two-hour negotiation. officers armed a robot with c-4 explosive to end the standoff. police say the army veteran wrote the letters "rb" in blood on a wall before he died. investigators are now searching johnson's home. they're hoping to figure out what those initials mean. they found a journal containing combat tactics and arsenal containing guns and bomb making materials. >> a vigil at dallas city hall tonight will honor the fallen officers.
8:03 am
brent thompson was the first officer ever lost at the dallas area rapid transit police. michael smith, lauren aarons, michael krol and patrick zamarripa all served in the police department. officer bush wounded in the ambush, he saw three members of his unit killed. >> being there and watch iing, people we see every day, we get to know their families, we get to know them personally at a level that you can't even imagine. we ride around in a car eight, sometimes more hours, stinky, sweaty. you know, everything. and then we go through things that most people don't see in their entire life. you get really close to people. and these were my brothers.
8:04 am
and i -- i hate to say i was frustrated because i couldn't do more. >> officer zamarripa bought a homeless man food during the protest, that was just before zamarripa was gunned down. he said it represents the character of his colleagues who were killed. protests over the police killings of black men grew and spread across the country. demonstrators protested and blocked traffic from los angeles to memphis. police in baton rouge, louisiana, arrested dozens of people. they were protesting the killing of 37-year-old alton sterling nearly a week ago. >> minnesota's sunday protest over the deadly shooting of philando castile were peaceful. that was in stark contrast to the night before. more than 100 protesters were arrested saturday in clashes with police. president obama cut his foreign trip short after the dallas police killings after meeting with spain's leader, the president said all sides need to listen to each other. >> everybody who's involved in the black lives matters

movement, or other civil rights organizations or who are protesting, just as i want all of them to maintain a respectful, thoughtful tone, i would hope that police organizations are also respectful of the frustrations that people in these communities feel. >> tomorrow, the president will deliver remarks at the dallas memorial service for the slain officers. maryland democratic congressman elijah cummings is with us now from baltimore. his city faced riots last year after young black man, his name was freddie gray, died of injuries he received in police custody. congressman, thank you for joining us. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i heard you say yesterday, we don't have time to turn against each other. we have to turn towards each other.
8:06 am
we just heard the president say we all need to listen to each other. can the country listen and hear at this particular time at this moment? >> i don't think we have a choice. i think we are at a very critical moment in this country's history. and with what is going on, with people -- everybody's upset and concerned, but i think we need to try to do what newt gingrich said he's been trying to do. that is he said as a white man he tried to put himself -- it's very difficult, in the place of african-americans and african-american men like me, i'm 65 years old, i know what it feels like to every time you get in your car to worry about being harassed by the police. even now as a congressman. but at the same time on the other hand people seem to think that when one asks for accountability, transparency and good policing, does not mean
8:07 am
that they are not very sympathetic and very concerned and upset when police officers are die and are ambushed the way these officers were. or any harm comes to them. and i think it's a matter of mutual respect. and, you know, one of the things as i was leaving to come to this interview this morning, one of the guys in my neighborhood -- i live in inner city baltimore, and the guy said, mr. cummings, tell me something, when that boy dylann roof in south carolina killed those people at the church, they went and got him a burger at burger king. but yet still the man in baton rouge and minnesota died. and so, i mean, we have to look at both sides of this and try to put ourselves in the place of the other. and i think that people just assume you're going to go to one corner or go to another and then you start talking past each other. but this is a critical moment.
8:08 am
i'm glad that president -- former president bush will be joining the president tomorrow in dallas to address these issues. i think it's so important that we talk to each other and that we continue -- there's nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations, but i am not going to sit here and beat up on the black lives matter young people because all they want is what our constitution has guaranteed them. and they simply want respect of the police. >> congressman -- >> by the way, there are a lot of great police. >> yes. >> i want to make that clear. okay. >> very important point. >> how do we make it different this time? how do we make sure it goes beyond dialogue? >> well, i think it's got to be a multifaceted effort. number one, we have really got to look at and accept the fact
8:09 am
that there are the young people in the african-american community have a lot of legitimate grievances becaue of basically what they see. this thing called a cell phone and ability to take pictures, they see more what's happening. we have to make sure addressing recruitme recruitment. i talk to police officers every day and they tell you there are people on the force they know shouldn't be on the force. so we have to deal with recruitment. we have to deal with making sure that there is training with regard to deescalation. a lot of times we see in situations where folks, police come along and actually make things worse. i saw that as a trial lawyer. and then we've got to make sure that people give the same kind of respect to the police. by the way, going back to what newt gingrich said, there are a lot of people who have biases and don't know they have biases, on our forces. so we have to begin to, again, i
8:10 am
think the more east side says, you know what, we're going to sit down, we're going to talk, we're going to be honest with each other and try to put ourselves in your place. i mean, that's going to be the key to this. the other thing we're going to have to do is, i think, one songwriter has a song that says it's the soul that needs the surgery. we have to really come face-to-face both police and citizens and say we need each other. and for a policeman to do his job, he needs the cooperation of the public. but you know what, the public needs the police to protect them and serve. >> yeah. >> so we need each other. that's why i say we have no choice. we've got to make this work. >> yeah, the public also needs the police too, i think that's a very important point. the president said america's not as divided as some have suggested. briefly, do you agree with him on that? >> yeah, i don't think that america is as divided as a lot of people think. i mean, the idea that -- when i
8:11 am
was growing up, i never imagined, never even imagined that i would see a man of color in the white house. i still have to pinch myself. and i see and i look at the young children, and they don't say -- a lot of them don't say black or white, that brown person, yellow person, in other words they don't see black and white. i mean, i think a lot of our younger generation is getting past the whole race issue. i think some of us older folk we need to catch up. >> yes, we could -- congressman, you're right, we could learn from the children. you're right about that. thank you very much. >> that's right. >> thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> all righty. >> as congressman mentioned vice president joe biden will join the president tomorrow's service in dallas. before that scott pelley talks with the vice president tonight on the cbs evening news. less than a year after hitting the market, facebook live video is playing a crucial role in life and death scenes from minnesota to dallas. ahead, t

for years now the cameras are allowing us to see it. >> that is absolutely true. you can have situations like that. undoubtedly a positive, and imagine situations in the future it's not clear it's quite as positive. >> you think a catalyst for a lot more of this? >> tons more of this, i think. and situations where we have rational effects, one person streaming it, doesn't really give you the whole truth? right? getting a live stream without context at that moment is a difficult thing. moments where people get enflamed and inpassioned and other moments, where it's the only way to get the story in realtime and that's an incredible thing. >> how do you contain that? >> no idea. but we're going there. >> we are there. thank you, nick. a group of prisoners escape but didn't run for freedom. how they turned from suspects to heroes, coming up flex on cbs "this morning." so the in-laws have moved in with us.

8:33 am
with these prejudices, and we never really talked about it. the 13th amendment doesn't deal with that, and it was fueled by this era of lynching for decades we tolerated victimization of black and brown people who were terrorized and then we codified a racial hierarchy through segregation and today black and brown people in america are burdened with a presumption of dangerousness and guilt. >> and you believe it has a direct link to slavery? >> well, i do. >> and that inability to somehow come to grips? >> i think our failure -- >> the not understanding of the ramifications of slavery? >> i think our failure to take seriously this problem is rooted in our unwillingness to acknowledge all of the damage that was done by slavery, and the damage that was done by lynching and the damage that was done by segregation. look, i am 56 years old. i've got a law degree from harvard, honorary doctorates,
8:34 am
argued in the supreme court and have been pulled out of my car and police officers have threatened to blow my brains out because of this presumption. it doesn't matter how smart you are, places in this country you are presumed dangerous and this culture is created by a history we don't acknowledge. >> you're saying, bryan, it's so much bigger than we're seeing. people say, that was 400 years ago. why do you keep bringing it um? it's much bigger? >> it is much bigger, yes. she's shootings are symptoms of a larger skidisease. there are few places you can deal honestly with the history of slavery or terrorism. we actually haven't dealt with this and indifferent to victimization of black and brown people, and that problem is a larger problem. it's not just the people shot and killed by the police. it's the people who are beat by the police. it's the people who are menaced and targeted by the police. the people humiliated by the
8:35 am
police. there are hundreds of thousands of black men and women and children in this country that have stories to tell about how dangerous it is when they are encountering police, and it's unfair, to burden black and brown people in this country with the obligates to navigate police encounters' safety. the onus is on you as a black and brown person to say and do things that avoid tragedy, and that's not right. >> when the president says we're not divided as some people think we are, is he wrong? >> no. there are differences and have a real problem and we've got to change -- listened, what happened to the police officers in dallas is unquestionably horrific, and there will be no debate about the wrongfulness of that act. i grieve for those officers and their families, but there should also not be a debate about the wrongfulness of what happened in baton rouge and in minnesota and in too many other places, and there will be a debate. >> is that conversation happening now?
8:36 am
when you see tens of thousands of people, people in protests, in all of these different cities. is there a movement afoot, though, to address that? >> well, there is movement, there is reaction. we have to change the culture of policing. >> how do you do that? >> begin talking differently what a police officer is. too many police officers in this country think of themselves at warriors, not at guardians. you've got to change that culture. if 90% of police training in many of the departments is all about shooting and fighting at not impolicive -- >> do you think that's the issue? a matter of training? >> training is the beginning. our police officers ought to be the most sophisticated people in society when it comes to not being directed by implicit bias, because they're armed, they have responsibilities. they have to be the people we trust the most. not to presume others dangerous and guilty, but that's not what's happening. we have to do training and change that culture. create accountability. >> how do you change somebody's

bias? >> you actually get them to acknowledge when they see someone of a particular race, they're prime to think things that are unfair. and, you know, we've had to change our bias in the climate control area. we used to think it was appropriate to spray things and use fossil fuels but we've learned things and changed our behavior behaviors. i think we're equally at risk by the smog created by our history of racial inequality we've all been breathing in made a sea of black and brown people threatening and menacing when we're just trying to live our lives like everybody else. there are ways if we begin to acknowledge that, we have to create more shame about the police do something remedial. that's not happening in police culture as much as it needs to. >> it's important also not to paint the police with one brush
8:38 am
either. the blacks are being painted by one brush, i think it's important not to paint the police departments with one brush, too. >> i don't think there's no question about, we have thousands of black police officers in the country. there are thousands of police officers who very much of committed to public safety, and that commitment has to be honored by changing the culture in a way that we can trust one another. we've done so little in this country to hold police officers accountable. good police officers want to be held accountable. but when you have the court saying it's okay to lie and cheat, tolerate deception and don't respond as a community, black and white, brown and others, to these horrific shootings of young men of color, we're going to foster this continuing divide. >> thank you, bryan, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for being here. the louisiana and minnesota police shootings have people talking about the future of race relations, but one university is also trying to answer for its past. up next, the school that survived by selling off slaves ,

>> reporter: richard told branche her great-great-grandparents were part of a group of 272 slaves who in 1838 were sold by georgetown university to three plantations in southern louisiana. near where branche and her brother still live. >> was this the piece of the puzzle you just didn't have? >> well, certainly, my entire identity is wrapped up in the folks who came before me, the things that made us family, the traditions that were handed down. >> this church in particular ministered to their needs. >> reporter: he isn't a historian, he run as software company. after researching his alma mater he happened upon a georgetown slave sale which settled a debt and saved a university. >> sold in 1838 money, which is about $3.3 million today, and that money was literally used to

named after that person. that person would be celebrated, and his descendants would have no problem whatsoever being admitted to georgetown, even down into this day. >> we're saying what is our responsibility today, in this moment? >> reporter: john dejoya is georgetown university's president. >> slavery, part of why it was so awful, was that for 200 years people could not pass on any form of wealth to the next generation. >> right. >> and here is an institution on the backs of 272 people, certainly the debt was paid. could the university offer, you know, legacy status? >> sure. >> it's a tough question. >> it is. these are complicated, for a number of reasons. >> why? >> i believe the fundamental question that we're wrestling with now is, how can we contribute in new ways to ensuring ever-more access and

afford ability to higher education in america for the hundreds of thousands who are not able to access it? >> reporter: he convened a group of students, alumni and professors, which will make several recommendations on how the university should best recognize its role in slavery. he's even plet with some of the descendants themselves, asking the question they've faced for generations. how to pay back that human investment. >> reporter: do you feel as though georgetown owes these families a debt? >> well, certainly. how to collect on a debt from however long ago wouldn't be my purpose, but if georgetown wants to do something, it maybe the benefit for my nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews would be wonderful.
8:49 am
it would be fantastic. >> reporter: the university is hoping that by the fall they will have concrete ideas about how to memorialize the 272 original slaves. some early ideas include memorials, campus dialogues and scholarships, but most importantly, this story is part of a larger conversation about equality, and they really hope it will continue. >> uh-huh. i read in the paper that historians say this is the first time the president of an elite university has met with the descendants of slaves in this particular case t. is the first time, and jack and john dejoya is adamant aboutown graduates ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
