7:04 am
now atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms announced big changes to the department's use of force policies. mark strassmann is in atlanta. mark, what exactly is changing? >> good morning, anthony. here at the wendy's where brooks was shot, the memorials to him keep growing, along with the frustration. many people here want the officer who shot him to be charged, and along with the anger and the grief, there are calls for change. >> it's going to be a long time before this family heals. >> reporter: the grief is raw for the family of rayshard brooks. >> not only are we hurt. we are angry. when does this stop? >> reporter: three days after brooks' death, atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms announced immediate reforms within the city's police department. it requires officers to de-escalate situations first. also duty bound to intervene if they see another officer using excessive force. >> it pissed me off and makes me
7:05 am
sad and it makes -- and i'm frustrated. >> reporter: the mayor said she relates personally to brooks' death. >> i've had family members in that position. they get locked up on the wrong day for something stupid. it didn't have to end that way. >> reporter: on a newly released 911 call, a wendy's employee reported a man passed out in the drive-through lane. >> does he have any weapons? >> no, no, i think he's intoxicated. >> reporter: officers garrett rolfe and devin brosnan responded. their talk stayed cordial. brooks even offered to walk to his sister's house nearby. but when they tried to handcuff him after he failed a sobriety test, he wrestled with the officers. he grabbed one of their tasers and ran. officer rolfe chased brooks. brooks, still running in the wendy's parking lot turned and fired the taser. rolfe fired his gun.
7:06 am
in rolfe's newly released disciplinary history it says he used his firearm twice before friday's shooting. one of those cases resulted in a witten reprimand. a day after fatally shooting rayshard brooks, rolfe was fired. brooks' cousin tiara. >> the trust that we have with the police force is broken. >> reporter: officer rolfe was an atlanta cop for six years. his file shows that at one point he had eight hours of de-escalation training. but the district attorney looking into the case says charges could come by tomorrow. and murder is on the table. tony? >> all right, mark, thank you. let's get to jeff pegues who is also in atlanta. you mentioned the district attorney there, mark. you spoke to that district attorney, the fulton county district attorney. he's going to make the decision as to whether to charge one or both of those officers. what did he tell you? >> good morning, tony. he says that he is still
7:07 am
reviewing the evidence thoroughly. that's what he told us. he's trying to determine -- this is the heart of the issue, whether the officer felt his life was in danger before he fired those fatal shots. >> i think that we have to make a change in this country. >> reporter: fulton county district attorney paul howard knows that he is under a microscope and that charging an officer with murder is extremely rare. >> how hard is it to bring charges in cases like these for you, who has to oa day-to-day basis, work with law enforcement? >> we, as prosecutors, have got to quit offering that excuse. one of the most important things that a prosecutor can do is to charge a policeman. >> reporter: investigators are examining body cam and surveillance footage. and howard revealed for the first time that he is looking into whether officers may have picked up shell casings at the scene after the shooting. >> so you could be considering
7:08 am
tampering with evidence among other charges? >> that's correct. >> based on what you see in that tape, was use of force necessary? >> was it necessary? probably not necessary. >> reporter: jason johnson was in charge of training when he served as deputy police commissioner in baltimore. he says not all use of force cases are cut and dry, even with video. >> here you vhave an actively resistant person. he's removed the taser, fled, apparently deployed the taser. he could incapacitate the officer. >> reporter: the recent death of a black man in police custody and the protests they have led to. nashville and seattle became the latest cities to ban chokeholds yesterday. a policy shift becoming more common since minneapolis banned them after george floyd's death. and in new york city, police commissioner dermott shea announced he was disbanding the
7:09 am
department's anti-crime unit. 600 plainclothes officers will be reassigned to other duties to help build trust with the communities they serve. >> make no mistake. this is a seismic shift in the culture of how the nypd polices this great city. >> reporter: and still, across the country, the protests continue with demonstrators demanding more. we have heard them say that they want officers held accountable if they commit crimes. we'll see what happens here tomorrow in atlanta. gayle? >> well, that's a big part of the frustration, jeff. people don't feel officers have been held accountable. it's still hard when you see he was running away. he was shot in the back. police knew he did not have a gun. and they say that a taser is not a lethal weapon. you can't have it both ways and say now that the officer was in fear of his life. what are you hearing on the ground about that? it's hard to look at that video knowing he was running away and
7:10 am
they knew he didn't have a gun, and they knew who he was. it's very, very difficult. >> yeah, well -- and it's tough to watch that video. and we've heard from police union officials who believe, you know, just -- they are asking that the public withhold judgment at this time. let the investigation play out. but as you noted, gayle, it's tough video to watch. and at the heart of this is whether the officer felt threatened and the d.a. was vocal about the fact that he is looking into it, and he will -- if he believes a crime has been committed, he will bring charges. >> and the other disturbing thing, it's hand while the world is watching. a lot of questions here. jeff, thank you very much. president trump says he watched the video of rayshard brooks. he call it a terrible situation. he's expected to sign an executive order on police reform today. paula reed is at the white house with that part of the story. paula, what is this executive
7:11 am
order expected to say? >> senior administration officials say the president wants to encourage a higher standard of policing. this order will include three modest proposals that already enjoy broad-based support. the first proposal is that they will encourage police departments to collect and track excessive force complaints. there will also be incentives for police to update their training certifications and they also encourage police to employ mental health professionals to work alongside police to respond to some incidents. but it's unclear how this order will be enforced. this is not legally binding, and officials say they do not intend to link federal funding to cooperation. the national fraternal order of police have reviewed this order and they are supportive of it. but this order is unlikely to satisfy protesters because it does not directly address racial bias in policing. now the senate is not expected to take up a reform bill until after its july 4th recess. senator tim scott who has been
7:12 am
leading the republicans' efforts on reform says without a new law, congress will have failed this moment. tony? >> all right, paula, thank you. let's get to new mexico where a man was shot last night at a protest over a statue of a spanish conquistador. demonstrators were trying to tear down the statue while also clashing with members of a self-appointed armed civilian militia who had vowed to protect the statue. the victim is in critical but stable condition right now. several people believed to be militia members involved in the shooting are now in custody while police investigate. the city says the statue will now be taken down for public safety reasons, anthony. >> california's attorney general and the fbi are now involved in the investigation of a young black man found hanged from a tree. the body of 24-year-old robert fuller was discovered in palmdale north of los angeles on
7:13 am
wednesday. at first, his death was judged a suicide. l.a. county officials widened their investigation after protests by fuller's family and friends. fuller died ten days after 38-year-old malcolm harsch was found hanged about 45 miles away. police say there is no evidence of foul play in either death. >> another very concerning story. overnight, north korea blew up an office building partly used by south korea in a dramatic increase in tensions between the two countries. this surveillance video from south korea appears to show the moment it exploded. the building which was opened back in 2018 stood in north korean territory but had been closed since january due to the coronavirus. president trump's diplomatic efforts to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons have been stalled. the u.s. has nearly 30,000 troops in south korea at this time.
7:14 am
a coronavirus model used by the white house now projects more than 200,000 americans could die of covid-19 by october 1st. that's up more than 30,000 since last week. this morning, the official u.s. death toll exceeds 116,000 and is still growing by several s hundred per day. manuel bojorquez is in miami. manuel, florida is one of several states where infections are on the rise. what's the government saying about that? >> well, anthony, on a call with the nation's governors monday, vice president mike pence urged state leaders to attribute the spike in new cases to, quote, the magnitude of the increase in testing. but without providing clear evidence that's the only explanation. other key metrics like hospitalizations are also on the rise in several states. some leaders here in miami say they're not taking any chances. >> now is not a time to let your guard down. >> miami mayor francis juarez
7:15 am
put the next phase of his city's reopening on hold. >> we're seeing an up tick particularly in the age demographic 18 to 35 and particularly after memorial day weekend. >> reporter: statewide, about 12,000 floridians have tested positive over the last seven days. >> most likely we're going to start to see an increase in hospitals. >> reporter: june ellis works for one of the state's largest public health systems. >> what is the situation like at jackson health right now? >> we have started to see an increase again in our covid positive patients. >> reporter: since june 1st, hospitalizations have risen in at least 11 states, including texas, which reported more than 2,300 hospitalizations. a record high for the seventh time in eight days. and 20 states reported increases in their average new covid-19 cases compared to two weeks ago. >> so many people. >> reporter: at the white house, president trump attributed the rise in cases to an increase in
7:16 am
testing. >> that's probably the down side of having good testing is you find a lot of cases that other countries who don't even test don't have. >> reporter: but in several states, data show that that's entirely true. according to professor wade fagen-ulmschneider. >> the data comes from johns hopkins and doesn't do any projection at all. even though we're seeing the same or sometimes even more testing, that number of positive cases we're seeing in those regions is increasing at a rate far exceeding the number of tests increasing. >> reporter: also on monday, the fda rescinded its emergency authorization for the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat covid-19. the president criticized that decision. it's a drug he had promoted as a possible treatment for the virus and actually taken himself. the fda said new information showed the drug was unlikely to be effective. tony? >> big developments there on
7:17 am
multiple fronts, manny. let's get to the supreme court news. the supreme court ruled it's illegal for employers to fire people because they are gay or transgender. the lgbtq community and its supporters celebrated this decision as a monumental step toward equal rights. and jan crawford has been following this case and covers the supreme court for us. jan, a lot of people did not see this coming. it was said you could be married on sunday and then fired on monday but with this ruling, that's no longer the case. >> that's right, tony. this was a stunning outcome to many people. the first major gay rights decision for this new conservative supreme court. two of the court's conservatives, chief justice john roberts and justice neil gorsuch side with the court's four liberals for the 6-3 ruling which was written by justice gorsuch. in it he says the 1964 federal civil rights act used broad language to make it illegal for employers to rely on sex in their hiring or firing
7:18 am
decisions. in a dissntsing opinion, justice kavanaugh wrote the responsibility to expand the law should belong with congress and not the supreme court, but then he went on to write the decision represented a, quote, important victory achieved by gay and lesbian americans. before yesterday's ruling, only 22 states outlawed employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or person's gender identity. the ruling could affect the trump administration's recent fr efforts to rollback protections for transgender people when seeking medical care. the administration is defining sex discrimination as, quote, what is determined by biology. by justice gorsuch in his landmark opinion leaves open those questions for another day, as well as how this ruling would affect religious employers. gayle? >> jan crawford, so good to see you. one of the things i miss about this new normal is you coming

heard the president is expected to sign an executive order, and here's what it's supposed to do, set up a system that certifies police on standard use of force, also set up a system that tracks cops who use excessive force and call for the increased use of social workers when it comes to responding to cases like mental health, homelessness, and drug abuse. anthony? >> significant reforms, jeff, thank you. newly released audio reveals a 911 dispatcher expressed alarm over the use of force against george floyd in minneapolis. the unidentified dispatcher was watching floyd's arrest from a surveillance camera near the uw she called a supervisor to report the incident. even saying she doesn't care if" >> i don't know if they had used force or not. they got something out of the back of the squad, and all of them sat on this man, so i don't

know if they needed you or not but ty haven't said anything to me yet. >> yeah they haven't said anything, must have been just a takedown which doesn't count but i'll find out. >> no problem. we don't ever get to see it so when we see it, we're just like well, that looks a little different. >> okay. >> an incident report shows a supervisor arrived at the scene about 13 minutes after this call. under department policy, officers are required to notify supervisors when use of force leads to an injury or an alleged injury, as we've reported, george floyd's death has since been ruled a homicide. we've reached out to the minneapolis police department on this, but we have not yet heard back. we'll keep you posted on that. anthony, this is another thing. george floyd's death caused a cup tour, it triggered something in this country like nothing we've ever seen before. >> yes. >> now you see where an officer, a 911 operator was trying to call attention and nothing was really done. at, stuff like that is not going to help this situation.

8:13 am
president trump's threat to deploy federal troops in u.s. cities in response to protests over the death of george floyd is raising concernshe military is being politicized. former defense secretary robert gates served eight presidents in varoles, including george w. bush and barack obama. his new book is "exercise of power: american failures, successes and a new path forward
8:14 am
in the post cold war world." it looks at the leadership and foreign policy decisions of recent presidents, including president trump. secretary gates joins us now. good morning, secretary gates, thanks for being with us. i want to start with this sort of recent clash, if you will, between military leaders and president trump. defense secretary mark esper and other leaders spoke out against the president's calls to use the military in containing the protests. what kind of impact do you think that has when the military and the commander in chief clash like that publicly? >> well, every president that i worked for, particularly the two that i worked for as secretary of defense, had their disagreements with the military. and always the president prevails when he feels strongly about something. i think the real issue for the military leaders in this recent incident -- instance was the
8:15 am
question of using regular army forces in washington and other cities rather than the national guard. the truth is, regular army forces are trained to do one thing, and that's kill our enemies. they're not trained in law enforcement. they're not trained in crowd control. the national guard is. and so when you look at an army uniform, you see very little difference between the national guard and regular army. but there is a difference in terms of their training and the purposes for which they are intended. so, i think that was the issue that concerned a lot of the former military leaders. >> you've said that every president uses the military as a prop at some point, but that this president has taken it to a new level. the chama joint chiefs mark milley apologized forq appearing in a photo op in a park across from the white house, and i'm wondering what you thought of that photo op.
8:16 am
>> well, i thought it was unfortunate and, frankly, i felt like the military leadership was ink they got themselves into a situation that they didn't expect and afterwards regretted. that was the basis for general milley's apology. i think he was very sensitive to the appear aance of the america military being political. one of the fundamental tenets for the men and women in uniform is being apolitical and serving all of the american people, not just one president or one party or another. >> you and other military leaders have voiced support for changing the names of military bases that are named in honor of confederate port that idea, at l this point. why do you think -- first of all, why do you think those bases have held those names for
8:17 am
so long and why think it's right to change them now? >> i can't answer the reason why they've lasted so long. i think partly it's just inertia. partly the names do have some meaning to the tops who were trained there or served there. but i think the time has come and i think the events of the last couple of weeks and the killing of george floyd and the demonstrations have presented us with an opportunity to make a change where, you know, when we have these bases named for con fed r confederate generals, it suggests we're celebrating them. my view is, we can't rewrite history, but we need to understand it, we need to remember it but we don't need to celebrate it. i think that's why the time has come to change the names of these military facilities. it's always puzzled me why we
8:18 am
don't have a for tt. george washington or ft. patton or for a medal honor winner. i think it's the opportunity to make a change at this point. >> as you've pointed out, the military in many ways for a long time led integration in this country, but general charles brown jr. just became the first african-american to lead one of the nation's military services as chief of staff of the air force. why do you think that took so long given the history of integration in the military? >> well, it clearly took too long. we have had african-americans in senior leadership positions. colin powell, chairman of the chiefs of staff, general lloyd austin was the commander in iraq when i was secretary. but the truth is that at the four-star rank there are too few and too far between. i think general milley has
8:19 am
turned his attention to that and attention of the other chiefs in terms of the promotion processes to make sure more african-americans are -- and other minorities are promoted into the most senior leadership positions in the pentagon. it's really -- it's not -- i mean, they will be qualified. there's no question in my mind about that, but there just needs to be more attention paid to making sure that minority leaders have the opportunity to be in the most senior positions. >> do you think there's been a systemic problem? >> i think so. in probably all of the services. i think the recent events, frankly, have, i think, been a turning point and the attitudes of a lot of people. and i think it's really grabbed the attention of the senior military leadership as well. the military, as you say, was out in front in terms of integration and providing
8:20 am
opportunities for african-americans long before the rest of society. but in -- particularly in terms of promoting leaders to the most senior positions and, frankly, some threat of racism. there still needs to be attention paid to this in the i would say more attention as we go forward. >> you say they've been a turning point for a lot of people, mr. secretary. have they been a turning point >> i think so. i think -- you know, i think what many of us missed, and i feel like i've been an inclusive leader in the organization organizations i've led, but i don't think many of us fully da of humiliations and difficulties that african-americans, even the
8:21 am
most successful african-americans, have had to deal with. and i think that's really come to the fore in the last two or three weeks in a way, for many of us, that had not been particularly evident before that. >> secretary gates, thank you so much for being with us this morning. > "exercise of power" is on sale today. we'll be right back. - why choose invisalign over other aligners?

welcome back to "cbs this morning". it's time tog bring you some of the st#ries -- i love this segment, we call it talk of the table. it's because we each pick a story. we piclike. we share with each other and share with all of you. tony dokoupil, you get to go first. >> all right. so i got an update on something that was referred to at the time as srpy gate. you may remember when hurricane dorian threatened the u.s., a category five storm and the president claimed at one point it was affecting possibly alabama and then he presented this map which seemed to have a black sharpy line extending the cone of uncertainty into alabama
8:31 am
seeming to support what the president had said. the issue was that the actual meteorologists and scientis the national weather service in birmingham, alama said don't worry, folks, alabama is not threatened and so this became a bit of a snaggle. the boss at the national oceanic and atmospheric administration came out and backed up the president and sdt worry aut wha saying in alabama the president is right. so the ups there has now it turns out that there were violations of the scientific integrity of these forecasters and, in fact, they were right, according to this report and the president did misspeak. i think it's an important update for a couple of reasons. not because of petty politics but because these weather forecasts are so critical to how we prepare to save lives and property and storms and any time
8:32 am
you have any kind of leaking of politicsonk it is important for the organizations to clean it up to say yes there was a problem and move on. so that's my update and i applaud it personally.ke the wo snaggle. that's a good word for it. >> i too. >> we were just talking about how there won't be professional baseball or might not be, perish the thought. but there is baseball in iowa. high school baseball team in des moines opened its season with a timely gesture. ♪ [ singing the anthem ] >> all of roosevelt high school players took a knee during the national anthem before yesterday's game against the other team. the team talked about it during a meeting on saturday and made
8:33 am
the decision to do this as a xqgroup. i don't know if you could see it there. but the coaches all stood behind them. they put their arms on the it was a group designate. they said they wanted to do it. they didn't win the game, unfortunately, but i think they made a very winning gesture there, gayle. >> great gesture and they gave a lot of people of joy. we're all looking for joy we thank you.m joy gives. i got a very special tal of the table this morning only on "cbs this morning". oprah sent this to us yesterday highly-anticipated book club selection. >> good morning "cbs this morning" team. hey, gayle. i chose james mcbride's book long before the events of these past weeks during which our collective heart have been broken by the images of violence against black people. in 2015 obama

8:35 am
do. >> thank you, nicely done. dids2 bird ia. they seem happy. james mcbride, hello, names you join us from your home in new jersey. james mcbride, i have to tell you this. i remember when oprah of reading this book. halfway through she goes i think i got it. no question this is it. talk about the timing. here we are in 2020 where people are protesting about race relations in this country. you are writing about this very thing in 1969. so i'm thinking what message does it send to you at this moment? the timing of it all? >> it shows we still have a little bit of, you know, distance to cover, but that some of these problems are not ne and it's really depends on how you look at things, you kn, in terms of addressing them. they are complicated problems but they require, you know,
8:36 am
complicated and humane answer2. >> there are many interesting dynamics and relationships in the book but one of them is about a poster's wife who a friendship with a white police officer, sister jean and she says this y'all don't watch out for us you watch over us. w did you do your portrayal of police officers. this book was written way before what we're going through now but as you said this is not a new issue. >> well, i mean, you know, like any black person i've had my issues with the police but on the other hand i have family members who are police officers and i know most cops don't co to bed -- they are not thinking of racism when they go to ibbed. probably worried about their wife sleeping with the gardner or something. i want to humanize the world most of us see that

8:39 am
betrayal. it all weaves together in the end. >> i want information know we have a lot more in common than we are different. all of us have a sport book spoy who has a bun and shoots the worse guy in the housing chaos . we all are pretty much the same. we all have a sport coat, some kind of crazy uncle who shows up at and takes a teeth out or an aunt with 50 cats. it gives us a chance to forve ourselves. we have found we after dysfunctional but lovingn famil. and that helps, thal helps get me out of morning. >> yeah. me too. me too. i so believe in sport coat who shot the drug dealer who he used to coach in baseball. part of the mystery is why he did that.
