to triple digit heat and length, and then it is going down by the rest of the week. back to you. thank you for watching kpix 5 news. ♪ good morning to you, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's monday, june 1st, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. nationwide anger. protests spread to all 50 states as people speak out against police brutality and the killing of black men. how some of the largely peaceful protests turned violent. also an alleged attack on demonstrators by the driver of a tanker truck. >> protests in the capital. demonstrations continued near the white house all weekend. causing the president to briefly move to a safe location. plus, why he's attacking local leaders across the country.

>> police crackdowns. alarming video leads to new scrutiny of tactics against demonstrators nationwide. we'll talk with new york the police commissioner. >> and racism in america. first on "cbs this morning," basketball great kareem abdul-jabbar on why people should not rush to judge those who have taken to the streets. >> his words give you a lot to think about. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> i can't breathe! >> the only thing that can put out these fires are police accountability and equal justice. >> streets from coast to coast. curfews in place in dozens of cities as demonstrations, some peaceful, and others violent rage for the sixth night. >> we are the change. we are the hope, the dreams, the embodiment of a people who say enough is enough.

enough's enough. >> with protests breaking out across the u.s., there's concern there could be a new coronavirus outbreak. >> we went from a stay-at-home order. now we're seeing thousands of people jammed in together in close proximity. >> atlanta's mayor is accusing president trump of making violent protests across the u.s. even worse. >> he should just stop talking. this is like charlottesville all over again. he speaks and he makes it worse. >> protests spreading internationally. protesters in london hit the streets to stand in solidarity with americans. >> all that -- >> the first american astronauts to launch from u.s. soil in nearly a decade are now on board the international space station. >> the thrilling moment in space history and the possible dawn of a new age in space travel. >> and all that matters. >> it gave us hope for our entire nation. our entire nation that we've been dealing with all of these things and, look, we just sent people from this soil up to the -- up to space. >> on "cbs this morning."

>> amidst the chaos, there have also been moments of inspiration and solidarity. >> thank you! yes! >> the cops are kneeling. yes! >> welcome to "cbs this morning." welcome to this first day of june. it went from a painful week to what i think was a soul-crushing weekend. and that's where we begin. the rising anger over the alleged police murder of george flo floyd in minneapolis has exploded with protests in all 50 states. demonstrators in cities across the country confronted police for three straight nights over the weekend overshadowing peaceful protests. some set fires, and there was widespread looting. police have arrested thousands of people in many cities have put overnight curfews in place. >> washington, d.c. called out its entire national guard after multiple nights of street violence. 22 states have also summoned

guard troops. peaceful protests in portland, oregon, turned rowdy after midnight while looters in southern california emptied stores in high-end shopping areas. jeff pegues is in minneapolis where the national guard patrolled the city all weekend long. jeff, what are you seeing there now? >> anthony, what we are seeing is a lot of destruction. the kind of destruction that's going to take years to recover from. that was a restaurant down there. there are stores this way. overnight, it was a lot calmer, and you're going to hear officials today talk about that. we're getting reports of just one fire. and that is an improvement. one week after george floyd's death. >> what's his name? >> george floyd! >> reporter: in minneapolis last night, the memorial to george floyd stretched from the curb where it started out, into the street. peaceful protesters gathered defying an 8:00 curfew demanding

their voices be heard. >> we're not going nowhere until we ready to go home. >> that's right. >> we're grieving. we're hurt. we have the right to hurt. somewhere safe. and that's here. >> reporter: but other cities around the country saw far more violence. like here in san diego where police declared this gathering an unlawful assembly using flash bang grenades and tear gas to disperse the crowd. in philadelphia, cop cars were set on fire and looters broke windows and sansacked shops. in atlanta, police used tear gas to drag a pair of college students out of their car for allegedly breaking the city's curfew. the students were not charged but two of the officers were fired for using excessive force. back in minneapolis, a tanker truck nearly mowed down hundreds of protesters marching peacefully on this highway. the driver was yanked from his truck, beaten and later arrested. minnesota timberwolves assistant coach kevin burleson was part of

the peaceful protest on the highway at the time. i was like, this is not happening in this city. it was so peaceful for the whole entire hour. why did this man come here? run through the crowd with a semitruck? i can't fathom it. >> reporter: all of that, a stark contrast to the vast majority of nonviolent demonstrations happening nationwide. >> black lives matter! >> reporter: here in west virginia where an officer march with protesters. so far only former officer derek chauvin has been arrested. the other three officers remain free. during a live interview last night with floyd's brother, a cnn reporter passed on his question to the minneapolis police chief who had just shown up to the george floyd memorial. >> they want to know if the other officers should be arrested in your mind and if you see that they should all four be convicted. >> to the floyd family, being silent or not intervening to me, you are complicit. if they are one solitary voice,

they would have intervened and act. that's what i would have hoped for. >> i spoke with rodney who called on protesters to stop the violence. >> i'm asking for peace. the same way my brother would ask us to if he could see the situation if he was here. peace. peaceful protests is the best option we have to bring justice. >> reporter: and there say pattern with these protests that we have seen. they start off peacefully and then someone incites violence. this was arson. investigators believe that many of these incidents are being sparked by extremists. tony? >> jeff, thank you very much. let's go to washington, d.c., where kris van cleave is just a short walk from the white house. good morning. what happened with protesters there last night? >> well, good morning, tony. it is cleanup right now. look at the building behind me. a window was busted out. a monitor destroyed. you are hearing sirens because a

building -- an out building near the white house in lafayette park is smoldering. tire trucks are continuing to pull up here. we're literally 3 doors dothreen from the white house. tensions began to rise around 11:00 p.m. as new groups of people joined protesters in lafayette square for hours. 11:00 p.m. is when the district went into a curfew. some of those people threw stones at police. others lit fires and smashed nearby store fronts. there were reports of looting throughout the district. officers shot tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowds. even as the landmark st. john's church where presidents have gone to worship since james madison was vandalized and set on fire. now this all marked a stark contrast from earlier in the day as thousands of people gathered to protest peacefully. overall, the tone during the day was one of solidarity and unity. participants cycled through.

several chants. one simply pleading, stop killing black people. gayle? >> yeah. that's what we're all saying. kris, thank you. president trump is calling for a crackdown on protesters and he's slamming local leaders for not being tough enough. we're learning the president himself was evacuated to a safer place at one point. weijia jiang is at the white house. what happened there? >> good morning, gayle. a senior administration official tells cbs news that president trump was briefly moved to the white house bunker on friday night during the protests out of an abundance of caution. the president has not acknowledged that he was moved to the shelter, but on saturday morning, mr. trump tweeted that he could not have felt more safe. mr. trump has been empathetic over the death of george floyd but sunday, as he remained out of sight, he berated democrats and his rivals as he tweeted for more law and order in response to some of the violent protests playing out across the country,

including that the u.s. military is ready to intervene. the president said radical left anarchists, namely antifa, are behind the rioting and looting and would designate the extremist group as a terrorist organization. but without any clear leader or organization in the antifa movement, it's unclear how such a move would actually be executed. plus, law enforcement is still investigating exactly who is behind the violence. back here at the white house, the west wing is operating under limited staffing due to security concerns over these ongoing demonstrations. president trump has so far resisted giving a national speech and his advisers are split over what role he should take in addressing the unrest. anthony? >> weijia, thank you. an independent autopsy requested by george floyd's family will be released today. according to the family's attorney. the medical examiner in minneapolis found the combined

effects of being restrained, possible intoxicants and underlying health issues all likely contributed to his death. jamie yuccas is at the memorial for floyd in minneapolis. good morning. >> anthony, good morning. the floyd family and their attorney released a statement saying they reject the notion that the knee from the police officer on george's neck for almost nine minutes was not the proximate cause of his death. they want derek chauvin to be charged with first-degree murder. the former minneapolis officer was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for floyd's death. according to police documents, chauvin had 18 complaints filed against him in his nearly two decades with the department. 16 of them were resolved without discipline. new video apeerpears to show th officers struggling with someone inside a police vehicle before floyd's death. floyd does not appear in the video. the video has not been independently verified.

minnesota's attorney general keith ellison and mike freeman announced yesterday a joint effort on this case. it came after criticism freeman waited too long to bring charges and does not have the public's trust. chauvin is expect inside court june 8th elellison suggests the other three officers may be charged. >> the minneapolis police department has been criticized many times for alleged racial bias and misconduct by officers. it was investigated by the justice department in 2015. the year that loretta lynch became president obama's attorney general. now during her term, she investigated other police related deaths, including eric garner here in new york and freddie gray in baltimore. loretta lynch joins us now from new york city. it's very good to see you, madam attorney general. i want to start with this. what did you think -- what did you think when you saw the tape of the death of george floyd right before our eyes, and what

did you see when you looked at officer chauvin? to me, those are two different questions. >> the first thing i thought when i saw it was this was an abject failure of police culture. this was a uniformed law enforcement officer acting with an attitude of, not just nonchalance but impunity. and snuffing out the life of an american citizen. not only in broad daylight but in front of other americans. seemingly protected by other officers. that was the first thing that i saw when i thought about it, when i could get over the heartbreak of seeing it and focus on it. it was to think that this was ultimately a picture of, not just one officer going off the deep end but also a failure of culture, a failure of accountability, and i think that is what everyone else has seen as well. that attitude of not just impunity but nonchalance. this is the straw that's broken

america's back when they consider this case out of all the other examples of police misconduct that we've seen. >> i think for a lot of people, just seeing the officer with his hands in his pocket which is the ultimate of, i'm very comfortable here. let's talk about the other three officers on the scene. none of them intervened to say that's enough, please stop. do you think or are you surprised that the three others have not been charged at this time? >> well, i'm notterminated. i think those officers showed an abject failure to recognize that one of their own had turned against the code they all swore to uphold and was harming someone in front of their very eyes. i do think that the -- those charges are going to be under consideration. my understanding is now the state attorney general is involved as well. so i know they'll look at everything. i would not be surprised to see charges against those officers also. this really also deals with the issue that we hear so many times about wheth or not this is a

systemic problem or just the actions of a few bad officers. it's clearly more than just that because if you have a few bad officers, you have to ask yourself the question of, who hired them? who trained them? who promoted them? and not only that, who is protecting them? here in the video of mr. floyd losing his life, we saw an officer, not just snuffing out a citizen's life, but other officers standing by and preventing the crowd from intervening. listening to the crowd reacting. telling the crowd to get back. essentially saying your voice doesn't matter here. and that's what people heard and saw, and that's what they are reacting to. >> what can you tell us about police culture and what needs to change? i know you've done a lot of work in that area. >> yes. and the added tragedy to all of this, gayle is that we know what to do. we have seen police departments turn things around. we have seen police departments

become better, become accountable to the community. become partners in the community. we've seen them do the hard work that this requires. and it is hard work. first thing it requires, gayle, is the courage to face this issue. that this is a problem. that so many citizens in this country, mostly minority, but not limited to the black community at this point in time, have lost faith in law enforcement. and when that happens, when people feel that there's no one to -- for them to turn to, no one there to protect them, those people are already living in a desert of anarchy. and it's laumw enforcement's responsibility to reach out and bridge that divide. it takes courage to face the fact that history has gotten us to this point. that years and generations of police actions have tainted law enforcement to the point where this is the image of policing in america. you know, even the good officers -- >> are you optimistic at this point? >> -- by this officer and what he did. i'm realistic. >> are you optimistic at this

point that things could change? >> i'm realistic because -- and somewhat optimistic only because i've seen it change. i've seen police departments turn around. i've seen them sit down with the community and have those hard discussions about the pain that they have caused. i've seen them listen to what the community has to say and i've seen them turn things around and become better and stronger for it. but it requires a strength of will. it requires a commitment to continue those actions long after the smoke has died down from this weekend and long after people have gone back to their homes, exhausted from this most recent round of misconduct and protest and everything that goes with it. it requires hard, hard work. it also requires law enforcement speaking out and taking responsibility for this. which we are now seeing, and i'm glad to see that. >> yeah, i am not looking for a comparison here between president obama and president trump. they are two different leaders, but i'm wondering your thoughts

about how he is handling this situation, briefly, if you could. >> well, look, i think that what we look for in our leaders, and what we hope for in our leaders, particularly our president, is to be heard. we want them to hear us. we want them to hear our pain. we want them to lead the entire country. we want them to look at us, even if our experience is not their experience, we want to see empathy and an ability to connect. and an ability to say, even if i'm not experiencing what you're experiencing, i do see the pain that this is causing, and we as a country will come together and work to heal. that's what we look to see. >> all right. >> and i leave it to people to decide where that message is coming from at this point in time. >> all right, loretta lynch, thank you very much

streets of berlin for a second day. hundreds of people called for an end to racial violence, holding signs reading "black lives matter" and "justice can't wait." and way on the other side of the world, new zealanders came out to support the black lives matter movement. they want jacinda ardern to denounce the killing as a hate crime. the same in wales, toronto, milan, and copenhagen. this really has become a global movement. back at home, a sheriff is gaining attention for what he did at a protest in flint, michigan. take a could look at this. >> we want to be with you all for real. i took the helmet off, laid the batons down. i want to make this a parade, not a protest.

half, we shook hands and tugged and talked. you saw the whole tension dissipate with the crowd. law enforcement has to come from behind the dash, behind the conference table, behind the podium, and sbget into the community and talk. >> there wasn't -- this wasn't just the one off. ktal-tv caught this police officer consoling and hugging a young man. this played out yesterday at a black lives matter march in shreveport. officers from different departments in florida took a knee during a miami-area protest in prayer and solidarity with demonstrators. gayle, pulitzer prize winner john capehart tweeted that it was something, quote, my heart and soul needed to see. >> mine, too. mine, too. and there was another -- there was another chief of police, andy mills of santa cruz. you see that because there's such a difference, guys, between the protesters and the looters. we have to make that distinction and not lose sight of what is happening out there and why it's happening. for the police to join in with the protesters to say we're with

you, we stand with you, we understand you, is huge. they're focusing on the people who are exposing the pain, not exploiting it. it lifted my heart, as well, vlad. there are more signs of unity, too, that you have. >> yeah. >> well said, gayle. >> the police chief in houston said something very similar. you wanted to add to this -- >> i wanted to say that's well said. you know, you get back what you give in this world. when you take the helmet off, you put the baton down, take the vest off, you can connect with people. we saw that there. i think that's one of the lessons, vlad. >> exactly. >> yeah. yeah. more glimmers of hope, guys. people from across the nation are coming together to help cities clean up in the wake of these nationwide protests. an army of volunteers gathered in minneapolis to get rid of debris and broken glass left by looting and vandalism. in chicago, business owners cleaned up storefronts and boarded up broken windows. we saw similar efforts in california, chicago, buffalo, and madison, wisconsin.

t monday, june 1st, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." new wave of protests. how they are being overshadowed by violence around the country. >> we'll talk to the south carolina senator, the only black republican in the senate. and the push to the edge. those are the words of kareem abdul-jabbar on the demonstrators. first, on "cbs this morning" why he thinks protests can have a positive effect. >> he's got a lot to say. first, here's today's eye opener

at 8:00. >> the rising anger over the alleged police murder of george floyd has exploded with protests in all 50 states. it's a lot of destruction. the kind of destruction that's going to take years to recover come. there was a restaurant down there. there are stores this way. >> officers shot tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd. it marked a stark contrast from earlier in the day as thousands of people gathered to protest peacefully. >> a senior administration official tells "cbs this morning" president trump was briefly moved to the white house bunker on friday night during the protests out of an abundance of caution. >> if you have a few bad officers, ask yourself the question of who hired them? who trained them? who promoted them, and who is protecting them? >> protests in washington d.c. have been some of the most chaotic in the country outside of minneapolis. but one moment this weekend

is -- ♪ >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." tony, let's not forget how this started. a week ago we didn't even know the name george floyd, a guy who walked into a local store with what they say was a counterfeit bill. i saw an interview with the owner of the store who said he's sorry he ever called because no one should lose their life this way, and now it's bigger than george floyd. >> absolutely. you can go back even further. there are a lot of beginnings here. there's a reason why when the protests began they started at a level 10 volume. >> yes. yes. and that's where we begin this morning. because it's been nearly one week since george floyd died after a confrontation with police in minneapolis. protests erupted over the weekend in response 22 states

have now called out the national guard. >> that's right. many cities now have strict curfews to try to control some of the most widespread violence in more than a half century. we are in minneapolis where the protests began. what do you see this morning? >> reporter: well, what i see is something that's really hard to get used to. take a look behind me. the streets are empty. the sidewalks empty and street lights are out. it's a monday, and there's all this destruction, too. you look around here. you see this is a pawnshop. totally destroyed. you have windows over here. dotted. rocks thrown through them. some of the buildings torched. this is how the world out here has changed in the weeks since george floyd's death. let's look at what's happening across the country with some of the protests and clashes with

police. there were violent clashes at times. a lot of businesses burned and destroyed in cities like philadelphia, new york and atlanta. the national guard was fully mobilized in washington d.c. as demonstrations escalated there. police fires flash ygrenades an tear gas. most protests remained peaceful like this one in brian, texas. george floyd's son attended this, and he said this. >> maintaining things is not going to solve anything. my dad is in peace. we have to deal with this stress. it's going to be tough to get over this day by day. >> reporter: across the country, there were also scenes of officers uniting with demonstrators. a protester arrested for violating the curfew in minneapolis have this to say about the officer who detained them. >> i mean, we're human. we're citizens first at the end

of the day. you might be wearing a uniform. i'm not. but we can connect in any way. >> that must be a thing, because we were preparing to go live yesterday, in a neighborhood that looks a lot like this one looks and a man came up to me, and i thought he was going to yell something at me, frankly, but he said i'm human. and i said to him, what? he said, i'm human. i'm not black. i'm not white. i'm human. so that must be a thing right now. and perhaps something that sticks with you as we take in more of these images. >> yeah. we're all human, jeff. thank you very much. and we are joined now by senator tim scott of south carolina. he is the only black republican in the senate. good morning, senator scott. i wanted to start beneath all the smoke over the weekend are calls for systemic change.

but the white house national security adviser robert o'brien over the weekend said i don't think there's systemic racism. 99.9% of our law enforcement officials are great americans, he said. you have described being stopped seven times in a year. do you think there's systemic racism and how should we address it? >> well, there's no doubt that our nation, the original sin was that of racism. there's a reason why in the constitution i was three fifth of a man. the question is what's changed? we've made a lot of progress, but there's a lot of progress to be made. one of the reasons i've encouraged the white house to look at the department of justice focus on race injustice is because it's one of the areas where americans want fairness. if there's a place in the nation that we need to have leaps in the right direction, it's in our justice system and fairness. one of the things we all celebrate, blacks and whites, republicans and democrats is the

criminal justice reform practiced a couple years ago. there was an unfair application of the law in sentencing. we wanted to see it corrected. you saw people come together, cory booker, myself, the president, van jones, all working toward the same outdocke floyd is dead because officers killed him. for someone to suggest there aren't racial challenges and patterns is for someone to be blind. we cannot deny the truth. at the same time, i just said this recently, we need to address this issue. this very difficult issue by recognizing that you can both make progress and have parts of it look like regression. we have to see both sides of the picture. it's not a binary choice. it's a choice of progress and sometimes there's a regressive

state. we can make them both work together better if we're focussed. >> senator, if you're not acknowledging the problem as the national security adviser does not seem to be, how do you change something you're not even acknowledging? >> well, there's about 340,999,000 americans that can work together to do so. the fact that one person doesn't see it the way it should be seen, i'm stopped eve within my senate pin on because i'm an african american. they didn't believe my pin was mine, i get it, but i'm not going to focus my attention in the midst of this challenge on one individual who got it wrong. i want to focus my attention on folks like john lewis. peaceful protesting led to systemic change. we'll -- the essence of the point is every single american wants to understand their own

intrinsic value and wants to allow that to be expressed publicly. when you can't go for a jog as an african american man, that questions whether or not your intensic value is on par with every other american. we need to wrestle with significant issues. for those who believe racism is dead and gone and 99.9% of any group is pure, they're living in a different universe. i will say the vast majority of law enforcement officers are good, but we need to deal with the ones that are not as well. >> senator, you've spoken with the president. you told him that you reportedly, that you thought his first tweets calling the protesters thugs and when the looting starts the shooting starts was not constructive. he has since offered condolences to the family, but he has not discussed solving a systemic problem. do you want him to address that? has he indicated to you he will? >> well, the president and i did have a constructive conversation

on saturday. i thought he was very much in the listening mode, and i thank him for that. we did talk about next steps going forward, certainly. i suggested that it would be good for us to have a conversation with some of the leading voices in the african american community. and some of the leading voices in the long law enforcement community without a bunch of cameras. i want a real, raw conversation where people get to understand and appreciate the other's perspective. i did that with congressman teyy gowdy in south carolina after the church shooting. i wanted to bring communities of color together with law enforcement so we could actually have a conversation without cameras. it literally led to law enforcement officers and pastors doing ride alongs and having a raw conversation. i'll never forget a black pastor who said i'm afraid for my life, but i'm more afraid for the life of my child when he's driving down the road. that's a serious challenge.

>> do you think very quickly, senator, do you think the president sees there's a systemic problem as you do? >> i do think he does. talking to the president, he said very clearly the actions in minnesota was terrible and he even questioned what is going on with the other three officers. so when we have a president who is willing to listen, we're in a better position. i hope that over the next seven days you'll see some skin on the bones of some of the recommendations. i have a piece of legislation called the walter scott notification act that would help us understand the police shootings around the country. there's no one place you can go to get the information today. i'm hoping we'll see that and other pieces of legislation going forward. >> all right. senator scott, thank you for being with us this morning. ahead, a look at the history of fear of black man and why many white americans associate want to brain better?

the history of the fear of black men in american society and how it often ends in violence against them. "cbs this morning saturday" co-heft michelle miller shows us some of the unjust and racist accusations over the years. it's a long timeline. she's in new york's union scare at the scene of a protest over floyd's death. michelle, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. as you know, racial inequalities reveal themselves in many ways throughout american society. nowhere is it more prevalent than in the criminal justice system where black men often find themselves on the wrong side of the law because someone has falsely accused them. >> something needs to happen. we're at the point where we're not being killed every day. >> we feel like we haven't been heard, our voices haven't been heard. >> reporter: protesters around the world have taken to the streets to call out police brutality and the systemic racism against black people. >> my sign says white silence equals white violence.

i want everybody to recognize that because white people are the people oppressing black people. >> reporter: the problems were exposed with the killing of george floyd allegedly by police in minneapolis. >> please, please! please, i can't breathe! >> reporter: once again with last week's infamous 911 call by amy cooper to new york city police after a black bird watcher asked her to leash her dog. >> there's a man, african-american with a bicycle helmet. he's recording me, threatening me and my dog. >> reporter: the list of false claims against african-american men goes back decades. 1989 in boston. >> charles stewart shot and killed his pregnant wife and wounded himself, but told police a black man did it. >> reporter: a murderous south carolina mother five years later. >> in 1993 susan smith claimed she was carjacked by a black man who took off with her two young sons in the back seat. >> reporter: last month in florida after the drowning of a

9-year-old autd tis tick boy. >> according to police, the mother patricia ripley made up the story about her son alejandro getting abducted by two black men. >> why is it that we're so quick to blame black folks in these cases for things they didn't knew. they all knew or at least they felt that would be believed. >> reporter: author and educator tim weiss says it's not fear, but power and a disregard for some people of color. >> american history is one in which white americans by and large have been taught to have indifference or even contempt for black life. we have defined the country as a white nation where people of color are here on a guest pass, and it's a guest pass we think we can revoke. >> reporter: cbs news contributor, professor at american university. he says since the jim crow era, white people have had the right of using the police to their

advantage. >> they recognize that they have the privileged police officer with the belief that the police officer, even if they're in the wrong, will be on their side. >> reporter: it's a painful history educator jane elliott has been trying to fight more more than 50 years. >> the blue-eyed people are the better people in this room. >> reporter: her famous brown eyes versus blue eyes experiment assigned heightened status to third grade students based on those arbitrary parameters in an effort to teach them about discrimination. >> it's time to recognize people as they are, which is human beings. we're all in the same race. you need to educate yourself as to the truth in this situation instead of believing the lie that has been promulgated in this country for the last 400 years, the lie of several different races and the lie of the rightness of whiteness. >> reporter: she does not mince

words. i want to tell you about a study published last year by multiple university that found that black men are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white men. that study also found that police killings are the sixth leading cause of death among men of all races, ages 25 to 29. think about that. >> i am thinking about that, michelle. i look forward to the day where black people in this country are not first judged as suspects and not law abiding citizens first. i worry now when my son goes to walk his dog in l.a. in the climate we're living in. i get very worried when he steps outside doing ordinary things to walk the dog. he said to me that somebody said to him, be tired, be exhausted, but never be diminished. i try to hold on to that. these are very frightening times we're living in. thank you for that story. very important to show the history. thank you very much.

ahead and first on "cbs this morning," political activist and basketball legend kareem abdul-jabbar. why he's urging people not to rush to judgment against the protesters across america. there's another side to the story, he says. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. ♪

this is a kpix 5 news morning update. >> good morning. many bay area cities were under curfew last night but that did not stop looters. walnut creek was targeted and glass windows were destroyed. and a victoria's secret and an h&m store. a car was found running into a smoke shop with no one inside. and san francisco will move into phase two of reopening,

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's that time to bring you some of the stories that we call "talk of the table." since as you know we're each coming to you from our home to yours, we'll share a story that we like with each of you and all of us. tony, you are up first. >> all right. so we've heard people respond to the death of george floyd by saying, look, there's a four-day history and a 400-year history here. i want to talk about an anniversary 99 years ago today. one of the worst incidents of racial violence in american history and global history, for that matter. it's called the tulsa massacre. and what historians believe is that mobs of white people killed

as many as 300 black people on may 31st and june 1st, 1921, in a black community in tulsa. it was known as the black wall street. you can see there. some of the attacks were fi fire-bombings from the air. more than 10,000 were left homeless. bodies were thrown into a river. it's believed other bodies were put into a mass grave. last week because this may be history but it's not ancient history, human rights watch released a report demanding reparations for survivors and descendants because this was not all that long ago. when i hear that, it occurs to me that if violence like this happened today, there would be charges, and there would undoubtedly be some sort of a settlement to make people who have lost something whole again. and it's hard to answer the question of why that doesn't apply when you have something that happened historically. i mean, after all, there is no statute of limitations on something like murder or loss of this scale. tough questions, tough anniversary. important context to keep in

mind. anthony? >> yeah, it is. i mean, that massacre essentially wiped out a thriving business, black business community in tulsa. when i work thursday in the early '80s, i went to visit that neighborhood because i'd read about it. it never came back. it just disappeared after that. i read about it, but that massacre just destroyed it. here's my story -- a call for donations to help families in south minneapolis affected by the violent protests got an overwhelming response. the principal of sanford middle school asked for 80 bags of food and supplies to give to students and their families. look what happened -- this was the families who lost their grocery store in the violence. yesterday people dropped off thousands of bags. the school parking lot was overwhelmed with donations, enough to pass along supplies to other neighborhoods in need. this is the encouraging part of everything that's happening -- particularly in minneapolis, is community support like this for

people who have lost something in some of the -- the looting that's going on there, gayle. >> yes. all this is happening in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic. that is still happening. my "talk of the table" is kareem abdul-jabbar and his response. he's one of the greatest basketball players of all time and his response to what's happening. the nba's all-time leading scorer has been a social and political activist throughout his career. he boycotted the 1968 olympic games and supported muhammad ali's decision to refuse to fight in the vietnam war. in a very powerful op-ed that was published saturday in the "los angeles times," the bestselling author defended the nationwide protests against police brutality. first on "cbs this morning," we're very happy to say that, kareem abdul-jabbar joins us from his home in newport beach, california. it's really good to say yday yo kareem abdul-jabbar. your op-ed brought tears to my eyes. the headline -- "don't understand the protests? what you're seeing is people

pushed to the edge." i had to stop and take that in. i love how you started it. you talk about the differences between the way black people and white people may be perceiving this, including the central park jogger case -- the central park woman. can you just give a couple of examples and the point you were trying to make here? >> well, i think i can ask a question, and i think that would really crystallize everything. everybody i think remembers what colin kaepernick went through. and his protest was a peaceful protest about this very issue, and he was ostracized, he lost his job, and he was blackballed for it. that was peaceful protest. that's what it got him. that's the benefit that it got him. and nothing has changed since then. think about this -- nothing has changed since what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop of

rodney king. that was 30 years ago. and still nothing has changed. white cops still can act with impunity and kill people that they feel like they want to kill. it's got to stop someplace, and powerless people have no voice. a lot of them are losing the opportunity to vote because the republicans are working very hard to limit voter participation. so what tools do these people have to effect change? got to think about that. something needs to change. >> you see -- >> they can't accept that. >> i do think for the first time a lot of people are thinking about it. you say black protesters are people pushed to the edge, not because they want bars and nail salons open. they just want to live and to breathe. racism in america, you said, is like dust in the air. explain what you mean by that. >> well, it's just like if --

have you ever been in a room and something -- you feel a little something itching in your nose? there's a -- something in the air, a dust or pollen that you can't see. but if you take a flashlight and shine it through the air, you see all these little dust motes and particles. racism is like that. it's ingrained in our society. and it's taken for granted. and all of the things that are taken for granted can accumulate and be deadly on certain segments of the population. comes down on the heads of poor people and people of color. >> you say for those who say the looters are hurting the cause, you said you're not wrong, but you're also not right. and i think it's so important, kareem, to make the distinction between for the most part these protests are peaceful. where a lot of attention is focused on the looting and the burning of the police cars. and i just don't want the message to be lost about what is

at stake here and what people are really talking about. so you say you're not wrong, but you're not right either. >> i think to look at it that way because these are people who do not have any opportunity to have their voice heard and have someone react to it. and with respect and appreciation of what they're saying. they do not have that power. they're powerless. and i just -- i have this vision of a sign that i saw in minneapolis that said "can you hear us now?" that to me was very significant. i think that's what it's about. >> we remember in 1968 when you boycotted the olympics. what do you think this current generation can learn from what you experienced? what differences do you see? >> well, i think that this

current generation has to understand that they have to cross the finish line with what needs to be done. and that's going to take a lot of determination and organization. they're going to have to get out and vote and make their voices heard in a way that can effect change. you know, violence and looting and burning might get you some attention, but it's not going to change anything significantly. so the people that are doing that really have to realize that, and they have to step up and organize and vote. >> yeah. killa mike said anger is not a strategy, the mayor of atlanta said protests, you need a plan, you can't just start marching in the streets. it sounds like you're saying the same thing, too. you need to have a strategy, you need to have a plan. >> we have to have a plan and engage our fellow citizens and get them to do what's right.

too many times we find out too late that the american people are behind law and order in a way that can benefit all americans, that's not a foreign subject to them. but they don't understand the difference between what they experienced and what the average person of color experiences. and that needs to be underlined at this point. >> i love how you ended the piece. you said you do not want a rush to judgment, you want a rush to justice. what does justice look like to you? >> oh, well, i think justice will look like maybe reinforcing the consent decrees that have been sent out to a number of police departments to change their culture and try to get involved in the deescalation.

it's tough for people who try to get cops to be hello accountable. a lot of those decisions -- held accountable. a lot of those decisions, we have to find a legal way to deal with bad cops. you know, the good cops, the overwhelming majority of cops are good cops. and they need to be protected in all of this, too, because they have a very important job. so you know, we -- we got a lot of work to do. and all of us have to be involved in it. every american. >> yeah. and i think it's also important to point out that most police officers, men and women, are really dedicated to their job and want to do the right thing. most of them do the right thing. what we don't want is for people to start vilifying cops in all of this. and you see the police coming out to support the protesters in numbers that most people have never seen before. i think that's important.

>> it's absolutely important, gayle. it's something that has to be done, and all of us, all americans have to come together and push this -- make something happen. it's so clearly in front of us that this is -- this issue has to be dealt with. >> i hope things are different this time. i want to thank you, kareem abdul-jabbar, for your time. may i just say -- this has nothing to do with the interview -- you have one of best decorated backgrounds in your home i've ever seen. it's very pretty. so bravo to you and your decorating team, whoever that is. it's beautifully done. i'm going to call and get some tips on that. thank you, sir. ahead, we'll hear from some of those who have been demonstrating peacefully about their message of change.

thanks for sharing your diy haircuts. thanks for sharing your savage moves, and especially your awkward ones. thanks for sharing your cute kids. and your adorable pets. now it's our turn to share... with the geico giveback. a 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies for both current and new customers. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. so thanks again. one good share deserves another.

as we've been talking about in our entire broadcast today, violence can overshadow the message of peaceful protests against police brutalit. jericka duncan joins us again now from new york. good morning. i understand you've been listening to those demonstrators. what are they saying? >> reporter: we've seen the scenes play out not just in this country but around the world. i want to start in d.c. our nation's capital. demonstrators clashed with

police. some lit fires and smashed nearby storefront windows. here in new york, the nypd is under fire after social media videos surfaced showing two police cars ramming into protesters in brooklyn. but there have been mostly peaceful demonstrations with many hoping that their voices won't be silenced because of what we're seeing. obviously there is some hope, if you will, because of the arrests of that officer in minneapolis, derek chauvin. but what we're hearing from demonstrators is that they still want justice in the form of those other officers, those other three officers that were also out there during george floyd's death. so in the end, we'll continue to be reporting this story, but you have people that are obviously out here for the right reasons, they want to be peaceful, they want their voices heard. and then you have people that are agitators, that are committing some of these violent acts. and people are just frustrated,

and they're angry. >> i'm tired! i am tired! my black brothers and sisters are being shot, being killed for no reason! i am tired! >> we are the change. we are the hope, the dreams, the embodiment of a people who say that enough's enough. enough's enough. >> i don't want us to be looked at as rioters or looters. we're protesting passionately. we're passionate people. and what i think needs to be recognized is that this country has a history of enslaving, beating, brutalizing, and killing black people for centuries in this country. >> i want us to treat black lives as our own on a daily basis, in the classroom, out of the classroom, i want it in the streets, i want it when somebody is pulled over. >> the end of the day, we're human. he's got a family. he's got friends. i've got a family. i've got friends.

we want to go home to the people that we love. >> every person deserves love from other people. that's what i really have learned. and it's really opened my eyes. like i don't have no hate toward these police officers around me. i really don't. i just want everybody to come together and treat each other equally seriously. >> reporter: obviously again protesters saying that the arrest of that officer in minneapolis was a start. you heard from the police chief yesterday who said that you're complicit if you're silent. we'll see what happens today. tony? >> so interesting. you know, a protest speaks as a group as powerful to hear those individual voices called out particularly with such clarity. thank you so much. before we go, how a man and his neighbors turned fear into a show of love and support. we'll be right back.

before we go, a hopeful moment during this uncertain time. a man in nashville posted to a neighborhood app that he was afraid to go for a walk by himself because he's black. he was stunned by the inspiring response. take a look. that is sean dromgoole with his neighbors who heard about post and designed to join him for an impromptu walk and show of support. the 29-year-old told "cbs this morning" that he hopes neighborhood walks spread to other areas and turn into a movement bringing people together. i hope so, too, gayle. but i hope he feels fine about walking by himself soon. >> i hope he does soon. i love this story. it's so important. there are so many bright spots and bright lights out there. we want to show that, too, especially during this very painful time. that will do it for us. we thank you so much for joining us today. we will see you tomorrow right here on "cbs this morning." in the meantime, please remember, stay home, stay safe.

see you tomorrow. take it easy. my name is christine payne, i'm an associate here at amazon. come on christian, step onto the blue line. good! stay safe, man. this device is giving us an accurate temperature check. you're good to go. have a good day. the safety of amazon community is very important. you're good to go, sir. thank you! if i can take care of everyone who is sick out there, i would do it in a heartbeat. step onto the blue line, sir. i have to take care of my coworkers. that's how i am. this is my passion. have a good day. i have a son who is 10 years old. i say, "you know, mommy loves to help people." and he said, "wow, one day i'm gonna be like you too. i'm gonna be a doctor."

he make me cry. have a good day out there, okay?

this is a kpix 5 news morning update. >> good morning. a shooting through the roof of the walmart. the fire chief believes the fire kindled overnight. looters targeted a car dealership overnight. police have not commented on this looting case. and dozens of people are seen rushing into a store and running out with merchandise at the bay fair mall.

bands of looters and rioters took over the shopping center. and taking a look at the roadways, we've got delays westbound 37. center busy and no accidents or incidents. a 40 minute drive time to go from 80 to 101. if you're working your way from vallejo, you might need a few extra minutes. once you get on 101, a slow ride heading into san rafael. today is the start of a warming trend. mid-60s in san francisco and looking at upper 70s in san jose and low 80s for concord. 72 for a high in oakland. we're really going to heat up as high pressure builds in for tuesday and wednesday.

we'll slowly cool it down through
