7:31 am
year-long investigation, minneapolis p.d. was one of them. and 75% of the police departments that responded to our survey said that they'd change their training after high-profile, controversial police-involved incidents. is that training enough? george floyd's death is the latest in a long line of police-involved incidents creating nationwide outrage. >> i can't breathe! >> reporter: in march, breonna taylor was shot and killed by police inside her home during an alleged botched drug raid. michael brown died at the hands of police in 2014. eric garner died the same year. making the same plea as floyd. and the list goes on. >> these problems did not start in the 2000s. they've been around forever. >> reporter: matt johnson is the former president of the los angeles police commission. >> you sawe inci hapne ctral park th amy cooper. >> i'm going to tell them
7:32 am
there's an african-american man threatening my life. >> reporter: when she call -- >> when we called police and said "i'm being threatened by a black man," she knew exactly what she was doing. these are historical problems that go back to slavery. if we think that we do a week of deescalation training or week of anti-bias training and we're going to solve all the problems, we're totally fooling ourselves. >> reporter: during our year-long investigation, we visited departments across the country to see their training practices. >> how quick can you take -- >> reporter: in tucson, we saw virtual reality deescalation training. firearms training in ferguson. >> we take people, we put them into boxes -- >> reporter: and bias training in new york city where officers are taught how to identify and minimize the impacts of negative stereotypes. at least 69% of departments who responded to our survey told us they have racial bias training, including minneapolis police. they said they've been teaching bias training since 2015, and
7:33 am
deescalation training since before 2005. >> i don't know that it opened my eyes too much -- >> reporter: this phoenix officer told us during our investigation that implicit bias training can do more harm than good. we agreed to hide his face so he could speak freely. will it change how you do your job? >> no. >> reporter: why not? >> i don't think i was doing it incorrectly to begin with. >> reporter: what do you think has come out of changes that you don't think are good? >> officers second-guessing their actions. >> reporter: sounds like that could be dangerous. >> deadly. >> reporter: black men are still more likely to die in police custody than their white counterparts. spike moss has been an activist since 1966. >> our people have been watching this over and over again. our young people don't know how e'n fighting because the news suppresses the message. they're tired of being abused, tired of being beaten, tired of being killed. >> reporter: gill kerlikowske spent decades in law enforcement before joining the obama
7:34 am
administration. he believes officers have a duty to intervene when they see bad behavior. >> if your partner is using inappropriate force, inappropriate language, you've got a responsibility to take care of your partner and to stop him or her from doing that. often the frustration of officers is that i'm not like that, i don't want to be judged by what officer chauvin did. and yet, the reality is they know that they all wear the blue uniform. >> reporter: johnson says training needs to be backed up by strong policies to hold officers accountable. >> you need to look at what you're hiring. demographically, does your department reflect the demographics of the city? are they policing their neighbors, or do they live, you know, 50 miles outside of town? what behaviors are you rewarding? who's getting promoted? >> reporter: he says there are no shortcuts when it comes to earning the trust of the community. >> you have to put yourself out there on a regular basis in a community. then you have to actually show
7:35 am
progress. it's not enough to just talk the talk. you have to walk the walk. and i think people are rightfully skeptical now. they've heard the words before. but then we keep finding ourselves back in the situation. >> reporter: the minneapolis police department told us when they completed that survey that all of its officers had completed deescalation training and implicit biias train, and they had refresher courses at least once a year. what that means is the officer at the center of this case, derek chauvin, would have completed those courses. anthony? >> yeah. yeah. and yet we're telling the story all over again, jeff. thank you. ahead, the worldwide response to george floyd's death. how protests turned violent in paris because of a case there involving police and a black man. a reminder -- you can always get the morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this

8:01 am
across the country amid unrelenting public outrage. >> new york city's protests lasted all afternoon and continued after a nighttime curfew. i've been out here the last couple days speaking with protesters. all of them say they're here to stop police violence. >> everybody is behind the line and the organizers were strict. at one point they were chanting we will not agitate the police because we want to get home safe. military personnel are working with police to keep demonstrators in line. president trump is still pushing for more widespread use of the military to put down protests all across the country. what little girl doesn't like to be carried by her daddy like an airplane. somebody asked her what her daddy does, and she said -- >> the marches seem to be growing larger by the day and the nonstrademonstrations staye largely peaceful. and then the front line workers and protesters showing mutual

"cbs this morning" is committed to this very important story and our coverage in the days ahead will continue to draw attention to the systemic problems in this country. what needs to change and what we
8:03 am
can do, what we can all do. we begin the 8:00 hour with this. another dndot floyd rema mostl peaceful. thousands marches in major cities from boston to memphis to los angeles. there were some arrests. mostly for violating curfew. hundreds of protesters blocked a bridge in portland laying down with their hands behind their backs. >> in floyd's hometown of houston, protester and police commander hugged and took a knee. tens of thousands showed up for a march. protests in d.c. lasted into the night with some people throwing fireworks and water bottles and others working with police. they responded with pepper spray. it encourages the white house security perimeter.
8:04 am
a u.s. representative is calling for all levels of government to adopt reforms. there was a resolution in the house to condemn racial profiling. congresswoman, good morning. it's been interesting in the aftermath of george floyd's death to see people on both sides of the political aisle say they condemn the killing but they're not specific about what happens next. you are being specific. what's your vision for police reform? >> well, first, let me be clear and say the reason why i think it's important that a congressional resolution is brought to the floor and voted on is because congressional intent is a powerful tool. we are in the democratic majority. we have a most diverse and representative congress in the history of congress and we should act like it. congress should function as the conscience for our nation. i've introduced a resolution
8:05 am
with karen bass and representative omar denouncing police brutality, racial profiling and excessive force. we use congressional resolutions to set a values frame when it comes to foreign policy. the last time a resolution like this was introduced was in 1999 by representative danny davis. it never made it to the floor. i cannot begin to approximate the number of black lives murdered, lynched, surveyed, profiled from 1999 to now. there is unrest everywhere, and it will persist for as long as there is unrest. and so this congressional resolution at this tipping point moment is an important affirmation, and then we have many bills in the cue that the congressional black caucus will roll out to get us to broader reforms. >> do you think, congresswoman, there is agreement on this idea of a tipping point? it's been interesting to hear the president's national security adviser say there is
8:06 am
not racism in policing in this country. i talked to the chief of the nypd in new york city. he does not believe there's a systemic problem. is that a difference in vocabulary or a fundamental difference in vision? >> it's a fundamental difference in many things. and i really don't have much patience or care what donald trump or what any one part of his administration that codifies their bigotry and cruelty in policy every day. he has been a hapless bystander or inciter of violence. someone who refers to my community as the blacks is not meyone i am listening tot thi om tt the trauma, the generational hurt and trauma. as a black woman married to a black man, raising a black child, i would like to pass onto
8:07 am
my daughter something other than generational trauma. the peaceful protesting and demonstrating is not only about police brutality. the black community has disproportionately bore the brunt of covid-19. it's a pandemic within a pandemic. a public health pandemic and the scourge that is police brutality layered with the trauma of housing injustice, education injustice, and health care injustice. james baldwin said not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced. and as a nation, we must face our failure in this moment. we have legislated hate and hurt. it is disproportionately put on black folks and we must now legislate healing and justice. >> yeah. well, when we talk about healing, it tends to imply a
8:08 am
coming together. when you think about the nation as a whole, how do we come together when it seems there are so many different stories about what america is right now? there's a story that you're telling and then there are the voters for the president, for many of your opponents on the other side of the aisle in congress. and they don't recognize the america that you're describing. so how do you bridge that divide? the only way you're going to get anything past is if everybody votes as a majority. >> but that's why what is happening, the organizing and to be clear, community organizers, the people that i was with in community and our black lives matter local protesters last night, community organizers are community builders not destroyers. the only thing we seek to destroy is structural racism and systemic oppression. so public pressure is important. it holds us accountable. the reason why we have often
8:09 am
acted with conviction as lawmakers is because of the courage of everyday people. the civil right movement, we're still in it. it's not over. but early freedom riders like john lewis, they gave us the blueprint. organize, mobilize, legislate. i won't pretend it's hard to be encouraged givens gop led senate which just yesterday was voting on lifetime appointments, another trump lifetime appointment instead of bringing real relief to the american people in the midst of the pandemic and passing the hero's act and acknowledging police brutality and racism. congress is one i've been connected with for 20 plus years. i've been ateths body for decades as an intern, as an aide and i have respect for this body and my colleagues. we have denounced evil many times before. and we should do it now.
8:10 am
>> so, congresswoman, give than we're in a situation nationally where roughly half the population probably doesn't agree with you, it could be more, how hopeful are you that change will come in the wake of george floyd's killing and be lasting? >> change comes when we organize for it, and mobilize for it and when we demand it. so far as you're wondering how many people agree with me. when i'm in community, we were with thousands of people yesterday from every walk of life. i just want to take a moment to acknowledge the youth leadership we continue to see on the front lines of this movement. this movement will not be co-on theed. we will be sustained and vigilant and precise in our demands. because the legislation that has been put upon black folks codifying hurt and trauma for generations was very precise and targeted. so in this moment, we too must be precise.

8:17 am
protests across the nation over the death of george floyd are forcing parents to have tough conversations about racism with their children. we spoke to several kids about their feelings on race and asl hear they have some very strong opinions. >> i want to see police brutality ended. it's not okay. you can't kill someone and get away with it. >> i think that there is a lot of injustice because we're peacefully protesting police brutality and then police brutality is happening at the same time.
8:18 am
>> someone that is supposed to protect is actually harming others and killing them and it's just like racism is never like ending. >> i would tell the people that it doesn't mte sn color you have. >> you can't really change us. just because you treatise unfair that's not really going to affect me because i'm proud of who i am. >> ibram-x-kendi is author of the upcoming"anti-racist baby." he is a cbs news contributor and joins us now. good morning. i want to point out there was a six-year-old girl that we saw, ayana talking which shows you even really young kids are feeling what's going on right now. so how should parents be talking to them about this whole question of racial justice? >> well, actually, i think we should first emphasize that
8:19 am
parents should be talking to their children because i think many parents believe that babies are color-blind, that young children are color-blind, but the studies say differently. as early as three months babies look more at the faces of people whose race matches their caregivers. as early as two years old children discern people's behaviors based on their race. so we should be having these conversations about race. we should be trying to teach our children that all the racial groups are equal, that we live in a beautiful rainbow of colors and they are all on the same level and they are all equal. >> yeah. and they are also taking their cue from our own behavior, aren't they? >> without question. if someone wants to raise a child who believes in justice, this is striving to be anti-racist, who believes in eek
8:20 am
quality, it's important for them to be that themselves. i mean, you know, we teach our children our philosophy and so it's important we teach them an equitable philosophy. each them an equitable philosophy. >> we had a protester earlier in the broadcast, a young african-american who said when your complexion is a weapon you're never unarmed. you've written about this subject. as a black parent, what do you tell a black kid right now? >> i think you can simultaneously talk to a black child about how because of the color of your skin people are going to view you as dangerous, people are going to view you as violent, but you know what, you are not dangerous, you are not violent. there's nothing wrong with you. something wrong with you, that means something is wrong with their ideas. and you have to always remember that. and so just as it's critical for parents of -- of children of color to teach their children
8:21 am
there's nothing wrong with them, there's nothing inferior about them, it's critical for white parents to teach their children there's nothing superior about them. >> you say parents need to be s. so if you're a white parent at this moment, how do you model that to your kids? >> i think you model that to your kids by recognizing the true source of the problem right now, and the true source of that problem is police brutality. the source of that source is racist policy, is the racist ideas that pervade american policing. and you should then be figuring out, okay, how can i contribute to the resistance, to the struggle against racism in this country by joining organizations, supporting organizations, supporting policymakers who are trying to
8:22 am
dismantle institutional racism and racist policy. >> as you point out, i think the most important thing is you recognize that your kids are feeling all of this. you need to talk to them. ibram -x- kendi, thank you. and "anti-racist baby" will go on sale june 16th. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, ibrahm discusses racial inequality, white privilege, and police reform with author and activist tim wise. ahead, we'll hear from a black activist about why she intervened when she saw two apparently white vandals spray painting "black lives matter" on a starbucks. we'll be right back.

8:30 am
welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. this is where we each pick a story we'd like to share with each other all ou.rsout of the . >> all right. i'll go first. so one of the worries in the background as we watch these protests nationwide is what does it mean for the coronavirus. remember, we are still living in a pandemic. one reason for concern is that police are using teargas at demonstrations over the death of george floyd, and that could create a whole new wave based on what people who studied this kind of thing know about the effects of teargas. medical studies show that teargas can damage people's lungs which can make them more
8:31 am
susceptible to respiratory illnesses of all kind. at the very same time, the gas can trigger coughing, and we know that coughing can spread the virus from an infected person to others. whenever i see chanting at these protests, i think back to the case that we covered in washington state of a choir where they were singing in a circle and a huge number of people in that choir became infected with covid-19. so it will be a few weeks before we see what happens in the aftermath of these protests. but it is very dispiriting to say the least to contemplate that we could have a second outbreak deaning the inequality -- deepening the inequality we're seeing people in the streets protesting. gayle? >> yeah. i think we need to get ready. presley.l thinking abouta i could feel her passion through the screen. that's what i feel about this woman. a woman in new york city who had angry awarwords for looters who caused damage in her
8:32 am
neighborhoods. >> i don't care how you decide to organize and protest. but you don't [ bleep ] violence -- you don't [ bleep ] in my neighborhood. i am a resident here, and you on [ bleep ] realize this resident doesn't look like any of you because she is black. she has a be[ bleep ] right to mad! when you come in here with your [ bleep ] privilege and you take our resources, which my community needs -- >> her name is desiree barnes, her speech picked up more than two million views on social media. needless to say after that exchange, those people left the area. you know, her pain i thought was visceral when i looked at her. i admired that she was so intelligent and cogent at making her points. it could have devolved into something messy and ugly. when you listen to her words,
8:33 am
you could understand the message that she was sending. anthony? >> she couldn't have said it more clearly, gayle, and more powerfully. i agree. >> i thought so, too. here's my topic today -- it involves some confederate monuments that are being removed while the george floyd protests are going on. yesterday in alexandria, virginia, a 131-year-old statue of a confederate soldier was taken down by the united daughters of the confederacy. the day before in birmingham, the city took down the 115-year-old confederate soldiers and sailors monument. george floyd protesters had tried to topple it on sunday. i mean, obviously e ve b d forui ile. ds ieresting here is that -- in some cases, it's the organizations responsibility for them who are taking them down. there was another -- a very big confederate flag that was pulled down outside of tampa, florida,
8:34 am
by the -- i'm surprised these have come down as quickly as they have, gayle. >> i think people are reading the temperature in the room. thank you so much. bishop t.d. jakes is sharing an important message business time it takes to create change. he is the senior pastor at the potters house which has more than 30,000 members. bishop jakes spoke out on friday. >> real change comes in processing, comes in time. i think we're at a turning point right now. which way that turn goes is up to you and i and what we do with it and how we respond to it. >> bishop jakes joins us only on "cbs this morning." bishop, it's always good to see you. i've heard i watershed moment. a game changer. a tipping point. we heard you say a turning point
8:35 am
is the word you use. how do we embrace this moment and turn it into real change? >> well, first of all, i think that it is a turning point because it is -- the protesters are not all black or all white. the american community is all marching -- in fact, the global community is marching in an unprecedented way that is indicative of the fact that we have been heard and somebody gets it. but what we really must focus on is moving from protesting to policy. you can only protest so long. and protesting is great at getting attention, and it has gotten attention around the world which is very important. if the protesting doesn't turn into policy at the end of the day, we will go back to normalcy. we've seen this too many times before. >> yeah. i know people keep saying we've heard the song before. what's going to be different? i keep saying, listen, i know it's about race, black and white. but i see that it's about
8:36 am
humanity. do you see it as being bigger than black and white, as well? >> i think it initiated being black and white but ultimately becomes about right and wrong. and people begin to understand that what they saw, the atroffr they saw -- atrocities they saw on george floyd were so reprehensive that it's hard to deny this is wrong. that's the tip of the icingberg. had it not been for the click of a camera, we would never know hand. the records were falsified, there was all types of corruption in the process, there's a discrepancy in the autopsies. it just shows that there is a system that condones and supports and there is a fraternities in this debauchery that has to be dealt with and if we don't clean it up from the root up and just pick a few leaves off the tree, we're going to be back here again in a few months.
8:37 am
>> i want to talk to you about the looting, and some people are calling it rioting. people say, listen, use the word demonstration. i've heard you say don't let that be a distraction on what w. what do you mean? >> you know, any time you have a massive crowd of this magnitude, and anybody can walk in and anybody can walk up and anybody can participate and it's hard to regulate that kind of behavior, but we cannot let the misdeeds and the inappropriate needs of a few distract us from the cause for which we're out there. i think when we do that, we start trying to hetreat the symptoms, but we don't try to fix the infection. i think we have to bypass the symptoms and grappling with the symptoms and fix the infection. we need these other police officers to be arrested, and we need to handle those issues. we need to set up a council to develop a policy that is comprehensive throughout all police departments, and we need to regulate it and about
8:38 am
financial aid to police departments that do not live up to those regulations. we need substantive change, and we cannot be distract theed by a few vigilantes that come in and distort the essence of why people are out marching in the first place. >> yeah. people keep saying now is the time for healing. let's come together. i've heard you say maybe people aren't ready to heal at this particular point in time. what do you mean by that? >> there's no way we can have healing. it's like opening up enjoyed in the middle of surgery and say, you know, let's heal while they're still bleeding. it's not healing that we're after. it's change that we're after. if we need to reset the bone, let's do it now while everything is open. if we cathedral to remove the cancer -- we need to remove the cancer, let's do it now. you don't want to heal in the middle of a surgery. we want to heal when things are right. i think that our rush to get back to normalcy has caused us to over and over again be
8:39 am
unproductive in bringing about long-term systemic changes that are actionable, that are yihatae we'v live up to them. >> and bishop jakes, you know, this is probably the first week in a long time that we haven't really led with the covid story. all of this is happening, too, in the middle of a covid-19 pandemic. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, that's the tragedy about this situation. we have three crises going on simultaneously. i don't think we have ever in the history of this country had three of this magnitude. we have an economic pandemic, we have a physiological health pandemic, and then we have a sociological pandemic going on at the same time. and it has reached global proportion. you can't have a problem in america in either of the fronts that does not affect the entire globe, and we have all of them going on simultaneously. and i have to admit, this is a
8:40 am
dangerous time for our country because of the convergence of those three different issues coalescing at the same time. it's a very dangerous time because we have enemies, and we have external enemies that seek to exploit these opportunities. and we have to be all the more vigilant to be watchful because we're quite vulnerable right now. we have unrest in every area of our government, in every area of our being. and we do not have the solidarity that we need to be the country that is able to defend itself and defend our allies because we are distracted by internal corruption which is the story of the fall of the roman empire. >> uh-huh. i want to get your take on this -- you know, donald trump went to church, stood in front of a church and held a bible. and reverend william barber who i know you know and a christian preacher, jonathan wilson hartgrove, said the president's use of the bible was obscene, he should try reading the words

inside. to be honest, i don't know whether the president reads the bible or not, but i know you do. what was your take when you saw that? >> i think, you know, one of the things that i think is important to realize that america is a country that has a lot of religions. i am a christian, and i support christianit christianity. but we need to have a government that expresses impartiality to all the other schools of thought that exist in the world. when people want to hear about theology, they come to church. when they want to hear about policy, they go to the white house. the convergence of those two have to be carefully handled. i'm not saying that one can't effect the other, but we have to be very careful that we don't pollute or dilute the very idea of democracy, the very idea of a republic that embraces an overgmbrell that allows us of to the freedom of religion and the freedom of choice, the freedom to believe or not believe. and sometimes in the process of expressing your personal faith,
