coming to protest peacefully. >> your voices have been heard. >> reporter: brooklyn center mayor mike elliott urged calm in the community following the announcement that charges of second-degree manslaughter had been brought against former police officer kim potter. >> there is nothing i can say or do that will bring duante back or ease your grief. his death will not go in vain. >> reporter: potter, a 26-year veteran of the force, had been training another officer sunday when they pulled wright over for an expired tag. they discovered wright had an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor weapons charge and tried to arrest him. when wright resisted, the former police chief said potter thought she grabbed her taser.

>> taser, taser -- >> reporter: instead pulled her glock 9-millimeter handgun with her right hand. an investigator examining potter's duty belt after the shooting said her taser was on her left side, and her handgun was on the right. as seen in this past photo. according to the criminal amplaint, the taser was yellow straight draw position meaning the defendant would have to use her left hand to draw the taser out of its holster. a taser also weighs about eight ounces, while a loaded handgun is about two pounds. >> manslaughter two is the least she should get. the least. possibly more. >> reporter: civil rights ac activist al sharpton praised the decision to charge potter. >> if she didn't know in 26 years the difference in size and weight of a gun as opposed to a

tony? >> shows how rare this really is.>> shows how rare this reall is, o is, omar. thank you very much. a retired forensic pathologist was the only witness who testified wednesday and he faced intense scrutiny from the offense. >> good morning, tony. the doctor testified george floyd had many factors that could have contributed to his

death. that testimony districtly countered the prosecution's argument that floyd couldn't breathe because he was pinned under chauvin's knee. i can tell you from being inside the courtroom, much of the injury is paying attention to it all. defense expert witness, dr. david fowler, testified it was his opinion the cause of death should be undetermined because there were so many potential reasons george floyd died, including heart disease, drug use and then one the jury had not heard before. >> there is exposure to a vehicle exhaust, potentially carbon monoxide poisoning. >> reporter: fowler said it was a possibility because floyd was restrained close to the police car's tailpipe. the prosecution fought back. ca monoxide poisoning from dr. baker's autopsy report? >> i do. >> do you know if, in fact, the car was on or not? you didn't see any information or data from anybody who says i either turned the car on or i'm the one who turned it off?

>> correct. >> reporter: fowler emphasized floyd's drug use as a potential cause of death. >> in the back corner of mr. floyd's mouth, you can see what appears to be cross-examination, prosetor jerry ahite blackwell went bac what is in the autopsy aren't. >> isn't it true there were no pills in his stomach? >> correct, no pill, dab let. >> reporter: the prosecutor floyd should have been given medical attention while he was on the ground. >> immediate medical attention for a person who's gone into cardiac arrest may well reverse that process, yes. >> reporter: fowler is currently the subject of a federal lawsuit in maryland brought by anton black's family who claims he and the medical examiner's office covered up police responsibility for their 19-year-old son's death. the young man died while being subdued by police in 2018.

the judge ruled the prosecution could bring rebuttal witnessest. tony? >> jamie, as we mentitionedstar at thnge top, you were one of only two pool reporters which means you were allowed in the courtroom yesterday. what was your takeaway being in the room for first time? >> reporter: yeah, tony, i have to tell you there's a lot of nervous energy between the prosecution and the defense when you're sitting there. the jurors are often taking lots of notes. but halfway through the third week of this trial, you can see the toll it's starting to take, especially with such complex testimony like we saw yesterday. i do want to point out as for derek chauvin, he has repeatedly been described in court as 140 pounds. when i saw him from less than ten feet away, it struck me how small he really is in stature. he also is constantly writing notes himself, in almost mechanical fashion. tony? >> interesting details there and notable to hear that the jury is still doing its very best to pay attention to a lot coming at them. thank you so much. we have breaking news on

vaccines from overseas. research from the university of oxford in england out this morning has new data regarding those rare cases of blood clotting in covid patients and vaccine recipients. cbs news medical contributor, dr. david agus, joins us. good morning. we need to point out that this study has not yet been peer reviewed. what do you make of it? >> this is a study where they pulled data from large numbers of hospitals, predominantly in the united states. the most i think important finding is is that this particular blood clot in the brain called cerebral thrombosis happens ten times more than people with the viral infections chance vaccine. people with a voyeurs have more incidence of this rare blood clot in the brain. >> it shows that moderna and pfizer vaccines have a similar

rate of blood clots to astrazeneca and johnson & johnson. what does that mean? >> yeah. what we're seeing is is that this is an effect in all of the vaccines, is that about a tenth is common. in this study there were two in 500,000 people with the moderna and the pfizer. so a rate of four per million. actually more than the johnson & johnson. but dramatically lower than if you had the virus. it's an important observation, and i think it's going to change now because we're going to be able to prevent these and treat these early as we develop strategies. >> how should the government respond in this case, david? thy paused the johnson & johnson vaccine. is that will something they need -- is that something they need to consider with the other vaccines? >> yeah, no, that's a critical point. my gut is that the johnson & johnson vaccine will continue to be administered after the committee meets again in a week. advisory committee met yesterday expect said they'll make a decision in seven to ten days. my gut is we're going to get back on the vaccine train here and vaccinate people to prevent

the horrible complications from the virus. this is more evidence of the vaccine helping people in a dramatic way from the ravages of covid-19. >> the headline again, as you said, is that you're more likely to get blood clots from the covid virus, significantly more than you would from any vaccine. david, winds cyber attack on u.s. companies and government agencies. it's also part of a wider refocusing of priorities including the withdrawal from afghanistan that the preside y. ciof financy cordes is at the white house with more on this. >> reporter: president biden is taking steps to hit back at russia o ten russian

intelligence officers will be expelled from the u.s. since taking office, mr. biden has not shied away from criticizing putin. >> you think he's a killer? >> uh-huh. i do. >> reporter: the two presidents spoke earlier this week, and the white house said mr. biden made it clear to the russian leader that he was prepared to defend america's interests. including in ukraine where russia has sent tanks and tens of thousands of troops to the border. president biden warned putin to deescalate the tension. >> good afternoon -- >> reporter: the new russia sanctions come just as president biden has announced his plan to pull the last u.s. troops out of afghanistan, ending the 20-year operation. some of the remaining 2,500 troops will begin to depart next month, and all of them will leave afghanistan by september 11th. >> we cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanstan hoping to create ideal conditions for the withdrawal

and expecting a different result. >> reporter: mr. biden went to arlington cemetery yesterday to honor the more than 2,400 troops who lost their lives in the afghan war. secretary of state blinken is actually in afghanistan right now. he says that he made the unannounced visit in order to meet with u.s. troops and the afghan president to demonstrate our commitment to this country. but there are republicans and some democrats who worry this a full pull-out of u.s. troops is going to embolden the taliban and destabilize now become a de search for12 crewem who arilllunfolding abouten miles from the coast aft

do we know what happened yet? >> no, we do not know yet. the weather turned out to be much worse than expected. a family said some men are believed to be trapped in the water but that's not known yet. this boat is very unique, three boats sticking up in the air, looks like a boat on the water but then the legs can be pushed down into the water to anchor the boat, so to speak and then the boat is lifted so it operates as a platform. the coast guard told us overnight they had a plane and two boats in the search area actively looking for these individuals. >> reporter: battling rough waters, coast guard officials are in a race against time because this is still a rescue

mission, they say. the latest video shows the water that is crashing against the ship that is capsized in the gulf of mexico. >> we're giving it all we got. that's the best i can tell you. left at1:30.m tuesday. around 3 p.m., the national weather service issued an alert warning of steep waves and asked sailors to get to safe harbor. at 4:30 p.m., the coast guard received a distress message from a good samaritan that the boat was in trouble. this is what that storm system looked like. hurricane-force wind gusts up to 90 miles per hour. and off the coast, there were videos from people on other boats in the same area of the gulf showing the treacherous conditions with waves higher than ten feet. >> i think we're going to roll! >> we do not anticipate -- did not anticipate the weather that we saw. >> reporter: families of those missing gathered at a firehouse on port fouchon. >> we've got to hang on to hope because he's coming home.

>> reporter: among the missing is chaz morales, father of the kids. their daddy, and he loves his babies so much. we need him to come home. >> reporter: also missing, 62-year-old gregory walcott. he worked in the kitchen. his niece crystal sadler says he also had picked up extra shifts to work, and that's why he was on the boat that day. >> was affecting us the most is that we're not hearing anything, it's just dreadful sitting there waiting for the phone to ring. we try to just stay in faith that we're going to get the phone call rescue mission at this point, not a recovery mission. thank you very much.%-pa powerfy

>> david, thank you very much. the powerful story. the waves, ten feet. >> that's a rough sea out there and those pictures don't look good. >> the wait has to be agonizing. you want the phone to ring but on the other hand you don't want the phone to ring. news you don't want. the pictures are tough. >> one search plane and two boats in the water still searching for people. we wish them luck. ahead -- what a governor watch dog will reveal about the stunning images before and after the january 6th riot.

. we have an update this morning

on a story that jericka duncan has been followed for more than a decade. cariol horne was displaced from the buffalo, new york, police department after she intervened when a white officer used a choke hold on a black man. this was back in 2006. now a judge has decided to reverse the termination and reinstate her pension. jericka duncan spoke to horne about why she kept fighting all these years. >> reporter: cariol horne never stopped believing in the justice system. did you ever think this day would come? >> i did think this day would come. that's why i kept fighting. >> reporter: horne's story goes back almost 15 years. in 2006 the former buffalo, new breath slipchau

horn she intervened. >> mack looked like he was about to die. when i stepped in, he possibly could have. he was hand toughed and choked. >> reporter: to this day mack maintains horne saved his life. >> he was choking me and i was handcuffed. she said you're killing him and she reached out and tried to grab his hand around neck. >> reporter: the pldiscipline jahren office brought charges against horne. which i covered more than a decade ago. the department fired the mother of five after finding her use of force against a fellow officer was unjustified. she was terminated just months before being eligible to receive her full pension. as for craig, he was late

excerpt ensed to four months in four black teenagers. in october of last year, buffalo city's mare signed the duty t fellow officer uses excessive force. it's legislation horne helped write and had been pushing since 2016. >> we don't want other officers to go through what i have gone through but we don't want other victims to go through what george floyd went through. >> reporter: that same month, with the help of attorneys ron sullivan, horne filed a lawsuit to overturn her 2008 termination. just this week a new york state judged ruled that horne pension, which she says is worth at least $800,000, must be reinstated. >> we asked the judge to vacate the nunc

pro tunc, bring it back to 2008, and fix this thing. so it's an equitable remedy that allows them to go back in in an interest of justice. >> reporter: and the judge quoted martin luther king jr., "the time is always right to do right." he went on to say the city of buffalo has recognized the error and has acknowledged the need to undo an injustice from the past. when you read those words, what went through your mind? >> finally somebody gets it, somebody understands. >> ron? >> it was a powerful decision and really said what needed to be said. it was a gross injustice that happened and he basically said, look, we're sorry, we've got wr >> 15 years in the making. justice delayed, not denied, but sadly only realized because of a tragedy witnessed by the world.

for "cbs this morning," youjeri duncan, new york. >> i so admire her conviction. back then i loved looking at her as an officer back then and the woman she is today and she never gave up. >> never gave up. 15 years is a long time. >> i like the quote, "the time is always write." >> yes. did you write it down? >> "the time is always right to do right." >> i didn't know nunc pro tunc was. she used latin. >> she's owed $800,000 but that to me is still not enough for what she's been through. and mirrors what's happening today. >> it shouldn't have taken so long but at least it's finally coming. >> and jericka! >> a flashback. >> how fitting she was there at the beginning and now she's here to see the conclusion. very

minnesota. it was a tense night, but it was mostly calm. how are things this morning? >> reporter: it is calm here right now. police are pointing out that there was no reports of any looting. they're also pointing out the majority of the people who were arrested are not from brooklyn center. and it's clear that people are going to protest. they want their voices heard despite the fact that charges were filed in this case. now, officer kim potter was arrested for second degree manslaughter and has since been released on bond. police say she accidentally drew her gun instead of her taser and mtter was training another officer during the stop when the trainee discovered wright had an outstanding record. it was for having a pistol without a permit, but the complaint doesn't specify with potter was aware what was happening when attempting to arrest wright. potter is expected to make a court appearance later on today. we're trying to find out if it's

common app jumped 11% from the year before. that app is now accepted by more than 900 schools. we are joined by jeff selingo who wrote "who gets in and why: a year inside college admissions," produced by imprint of simon & schuster part of the wider cbs company. good morning to you. i'm excited to talk to you this morning. i remember sweating the s.a.t.s when i was in high school, and now colleges are not accepting it or not requiring it, anyway, could we be seeing the end of standardized testing as we know it? >> well, the head of the a.c.t. basically said that we're not going back to standardized testing the way that we had it. so 600 schools went test optional, most have extended it for another year. so for the high school class of 2022. but what we're seeing at many of the colleges that i talked to that are kind of new to the test optional movement is that even without test scores, they still

basically accepted more students who came with test scores than those without. so if you're applying to a highly selective college, even, you know, even without test scores, it still helps if you can get one and but well on that test -- and you did well on that test. >> it's nice to show it. if you didn't do well, i like that there's still a chance. you mentioned exceptions -- there's still a chance. acceptance rates, harvard has an all-time low acceptance rate this year of 3.4%. that is very thin. you say that these colleges and universities should not necessarily be proud of those low rates. why not? >> no. i mean, harvard rejected 55,000 students this year. they only -- they have a class of like 1,600, with a $42 billion endowment. they can easily expand. in fact, over the last 30 years, the ivy league as a whole only expanded by about 14% their freshman class. while the number of high school graduates grew by 44%. >> wow. >> it's clear that what we

learned in this past pandemic year is that not only can we perhaps do more on line, but that we could change the calendar so that some students could go through the summer. some students could go through fall break or winter break. so these schools can easily serve more. in fact, we just saw rice university announce two weeks ago that they're going to expand their freshman class by 20%. these schools can do it. >> there are hundreds of thousands of kids, i would say hundreds of thousands of families because the whole family really is on tender hooks because they're on a wait list right now. they do not know where they're going in the fall if anywhere. is there anything that people can do when they're on a wait list to help their chances? >> well, the wait list is a bit of a mist o t clege build the waitlist into their enrollment model. they're actually accepting fewer students and putting more of them on the waitlist because they like to have students waiting in the wings. that's especially this year with so many applications. many of these schools don't know how serious these students are. so if you're on the waitlist,

the odds of getting off of it, i must say, pretty long. you know, make sure you have -- use that as your plan b. but you know, send a note to the school. if your counselor, if something has changed in your application, tell them what has changed. don't resubmit an entire application. and definitely have a backup plan of a place that you actually got into that you want to go to. >> or maybe even trade school. all right, thank you so much. no one knows more about the process than you. we appreciate it. check out "who gets in and why: a year inside the college admissions process." we appreciate you being on. and the movie "judas and the black messiah" is up for six oscars. one of the powerhouse backers tells us how he is trying to diversify hollywood. you're watching "cbs this morning." ."

winning awards -- >> charles king -- [ applause ] >> and viola started winning, and they were acknowledging macro. >> paramount, macro -- >> so i think things really began to run from there. >> reporter: what is your vision? >> our vision is to build a global media company. so think disney, think dreamworks. but that have people of color at the center of them. >> reporter: a ucla report found that people of color bought at least half of the tickets for nine of the top ten films in the u.s. in 2019. and while diversity on camera is on the rise, researchers say that more than 90% of senior executive positions are held by white people. >> we need people who cannot just make quality films but also who can determine what gets made. and so that takes we

look at films as either african-american films or latino films or asian films, and i think charles has a broader vision. he's looking at people of color writ large. >> what are you doing? >> fixing your headache -- >> reporter: in just six years, macro has been behind popular streaming shows and more than a dozen movies including "judas and the black messiah." >> forming a rainbow coalition -- >> reporter: king believed in the project enough that part of the film's budget, which was reported to be north of $25 million, came from his own company. having that co-financed deal, what did it provide with? >> a seat at the table. in another scenario, three, four years before, i don't know how the movie would have gotten made. not in the way that we made it. >> reporter: and how did you make it? >> we made it unapologetically. we made it telling the truth. >> reporter: that creative

freedom left the door wide open for first-time studio director shaka king. >> had this gone through more traditional means in the sense of, you know, having no financing attached, i think it wous >> reporter: what kind of tweakingld havad t madeit. >> it probably would have had to lean far, far, far more commercial. i have no idea. i wouldn't have done it. you know, it is just -- it would never have happened. >> reporter: all this talk of diversity, is it still a struggle to get films like this made? >> yes. >> reporter: thank you for being honest. >> we still will go into pitch meetings where there isn't a single person of color in the room. >> reporter: still, king says he's encouraged by the direction hollywood is heading. >> i think it's the combination of that, of storytellers who are insi of t studios and the

streaming platforms that have simaking power i believe that will create more of the sea change within our industry. [ chants ] >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, los angeles. >> i'm mesmerized by daniel kaluuya just in that clip. >> yes. >> amazing film. >> charles d. king, round of applause. a positive disrupter and a bad ass. i like his vision, when he says think disney, think dreamworks -- >> why not? >> think macro. absolutely why not. >> money talks. >> and he's right to show images that represent the spectrum. that's been part of the problem in hollywood. it's been so -- there have been so many stereotypes. many ofhemy ti for him ty i- the it is a spectrum. >> and over categorizing. >> bravo. >> they're american films, not necessarily black films or asian films or american films. country star mickey guyton will make history this sunday as

>> you know, i try to act like i'm strong, but i'm not always strong. and -- i'm sorry. >> oh, mickey, i'm sorry. >> thank you. it further proves the point that i was trying to make with the song. >> you also got a lot of support for the song, too, didn't you? >> absolutely. i got so much support from the song for rom all walks of life. there are so meople that showed me that i was doing the right thing. >> uh-huh. >> that were showing that this is why i'm here. as weak as i felt, i still feel strong because i know that i'm standing up for people that

don't necessarily have that ability. >> it does seem to be the country music is having a conversation with itself, as well. >> uh-huh. >> i'm talking, of course, about the morgan wallen incident where he used the "n" word. does it feel different to you this time? >> yes and no. you hate when you see such unfortunate videos like that for anybody. and it could have happened to anybody in this genre. it just so happened to be morgan wallen. i think there is a lesson to be learned from this. yes, he was wrong in this, but i don't necessarily think that you cancel someone. but he does need to feel the weight of his words. i think for the longest time, you know, it was able to slip by because there weren't a lot of people of color in the genre. now that we're here, it's forcing people to have to think about it. >> are you hopeful? >> i am extremely hopeful. i know great things take ti i eo

change in an instant. and sometimes you have to meet people where they're at. and that's something that i'm learning. ♪ it's a hard life on easy street ♪ i hope that i can now be a beacon for a lot of people, a beacon of light to show that if you stick to your true self and what is true to you, anything can happen. your dreams can happen. ♪ oh someday we'll all be free and i'm proud to be oh black like me ♪ >> yeah. go, mickey. she is not a woe is me girl, you know, lamenting about what has happened. >> not at all. >> what she says is you do the work and keep going. it's hard, as you know, doing a zoom. and you can't reach out and touch the person and comfort the person. my heart really went out when she -- when she had that little moment. you know, she is on the acm diversity task force, she said

she believes it's op rlly do want change. and she's glad to be part of that conversation. and best of all, she has a record coming out for the first time in ten years. >> wow. >> really? >> her first -- i was so surprised that it's taken that long. >> yeah. >> she's released music, but this is her first album that's coming out this summer. >> i remember when she was on the show when she released the song initially "black like me." we were all very interested to see what would happen and how it would be received. >> she's gotten a lot of support. there's some hater-ade, too, but she's gotten support and chooses to focus on that. she has a husband and a baby. and so she feels life is good. as we all know, we are not there yet. >> no. >> we are not. >> at least we're making steps in the right direction. >> she's a big part of this new conversation that's happening. >> and country music is three notes and the truth. there's goingo lot more truth on that album. >> i liked what she said about morgan wallen. that doesn't mean you need to be canceled. i think he, too, is doing the work and could be instrumental in the change. >> great that she said, had a

kid and can i say grayson has a heck of a head of hair. >> yes. congrats. we're going to be watching you on sunday. the 56th annual acm awards sunday night, 8:00, 7:00 central here on cbs. mickey, as you know, is co-hosting

our series "a more perfect

union" aims to show that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. many of us are discovering that it can take a superhuman effort to find an available dose of the covid vaccine. in one pennsylvania community, a pharmacist known as dr. mack, and his superpower is helping saving lives. cbs news correspondent nancy chen explains. dr. mack is responsible for these shots. this is a superman who's responsible. [ cheers ] >> reporter: he's known as dr. mack, and a superman costume is a halloween leftover. for the people at this popup vaccine clinic, maya gamin is the real deal. >> we'll be back. let your neighbors know. >> we appreciate you bringing it to us. >> reporter: the pharmacist is vaccinating everyone he can in this communities 45 minutes outside of philadelphia. reaching more than 3,500 people in a day. >> covid-19 vaccines have been so tough to get. and when that u.p.s. driver walked through that door and

said, here are your vaccines, we were almost dancing. like getting ready to party because this is what our town has been waiting for. >> reporter: now you're delivering your vaccines as superman. >> i continue to wear the superman costume because of the responses i've seen from the community. it doesn't require a child to see super mack to get some happiness or joy. >> reporter: the center of his operation, this small independent pharmacy. independent recently, the only one in the town of skipack offering vaccines. >> we have one full-time employee and myself. two people to be able to administer 4,000 vaccines. on top of that, running a pharmacy is not something that's possible. but having an army of volunteers behind you, they're doing it because they love every single person in this community and because this is a community effort. >> getting it now in the next -- >> reporter: 400 people have signed up to man the phones and coordinate appointments with just 24 to 36 hours' notice. >> once the vaccines come into our pharmacy and get put into the freezer, then it's time to move into action.

we have to call and/or email 1,000 people to let them know that the vaccine's arrived. >> reporter: this clinic was organized by his team at a community center in nearby norristown, one of the hardest hit areas. denise ash is the center's ceo. >> you see people one day and the next day they have covid. they're getting sick. and a lot of people we know have lost relatives. >> ready? >> i'm ready. >> reporter: tanya hall says she likely would have had to wait until may to get a vaccine -- >> we're done -- >> reporter: because of her limited mobility. >> i live right up the street, you know. it's really great to have something like this close to home. >> thank you for being patient -- >> reporter: from large clinics vaccinating hundreds by the hour to visits at home one at a time. >> they pay you good money to put that outfit on? >> reporter: 90-year-old joseph and his wife marcia -- >> that's it. are you fully vaccinated. >> yay. >> reporter: now closer to seeing their grandchildren without worry -- >> we're all huggers.

six feet apart it just doesn't work. it's not the same. it's a nice idea, butou you can't hug them. that said a lot. >> reporter: the effort is paying off. the county now has one of the highest per-capita vaccination rates in the state. a mission to help others in line with his faith. >> you see the red dot with the u here, that's a symbol of my faith. his motto is in the joy of others lies our own. so anything that we do, if you're bringing somebody else joy, just do it. >> reporter: how do you think community will remember this? >> i think our community loves the fact that their local superheroes banded together to do something that no one ever thought was possible. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," nancy chen, pennsylvania. >> it is a heroic effort. dr. mack says he's helped give out 22,000 vaccine doses since early february. we'll be right back.
