7:04 am
in the past 50 years or so. right now we have an extensive and intense heat dome. underneath that heat dome we have a storm that's trapped along the gulf coast. we have seen over a foot of rain this weekend on top of feet of rain we've seen the past couple of months and that's led to a lot of flash flooding. aberdeen, 101 degrees. we are baking in boston with a temperature right around 96. now i want to talk about the drought in the west, which is off the charts. look at last year. kind of a modest drought, but, remember, this was the worst fire season in history. now look at this year. this is exceptional drought, historical drought, the worst we have pretty much ever seen in the west. this is due to human climate change and also due to severe lack of rainfall. tony, this is a climate emergency. >> it is very hot. i feel parched just talking about it, jeff. thank you very much. on her first s, vice president
7:05 am
foreign trip today tackling an urgent issue, illegal immigration to the united states. she arrived in guatemala last night, in part to learn why so many people leave the couny.sid expected to auns no new plans to address drug and human trafficking. ed o'keefe is in guatemala city for us. good morning to you. what's on the vice president's agenda? >> well, good morning. overnight kamala harris making history as the first american woman to arrive in another country to full military honors as vice president of the united states. today she meets with guatemala's president, somebody she has spoken with frequently on the phone and via zoom in recent weeks, probably more than some of the people she works with in washington. today they'll meet face-to-face at the national palace to discuss the root causes of illegal immigration. guatemalan president points out he and vice president kamala harris have one thing in common. >> she doesn't which is good. she's frank. we're not on the same side of the coin.
7:06 am
we are in agreement in the what, which is something. we're not in agreement in the how. >> reporter: he told us a root cause of undocumented immigration from his country is the economy. and we saw for ourselves that in some cases the root cause of immigration is literally the roots that can no longer grow. it's forced parents like lorenzo, who struggles to feed her family, to let her oldest son go north. he's now in houston and sends money twice a month. when was the moment you knew he had to go to the united states? >> translator: we saw that there were some who went, who already have a house. they have clothes for their family, they have clothes they didn't have before, and they can eat what they want to eat. >> reporter: things are even more dire for liucia, whose husband also immigrated to houston and now works in a restaurant. he sends her a few hundred dollars a month, she mostly uses
7:07 am
to pay off thousands of dollars of debt to a bank and human traffickers. the coyotes charged her husband $14,000 for safe passage. >> mostly people want to stay in guatemala, they want to be in their homes. they don't want to take that horrific, very expensive trip to the united states. >> reporter: mary, a chicago native s country director for guatemala for save the children, which helps women like lorenzo and lucia. if the vice president called you and said, what are the root causes of the problem in guatemala, what would you tell her? >> the main one, inequity. it's a big one, really big. unfortunately, the majority of the poor and extremely poor do not have access to food, jobs and education. >> reporter: she told us targeting human traffickers should be a top american priority. >> translator: we asked her to introduce a bill in the u.s. senate which would declare the coyotes federal criminals.
7:08 am
>> reporter: you would like coyotes to be prosecuted in the united states under criminal laws? >> translator: yes. we ask the u.s. to broaden our extradition treaty. >> reporter: one other thing to talk about today, any talk of covid-19 vaccine. the u.s. has already committed to guatemala 500,000 doses. leaders here would like more. a watch dog group we spoke to says there's already concerns the government is struggling to put shots in the arm with the little supply they have. from here the vice president flies to mexico city where she'll meet with mexico's president. >> ed o'keefe in guatemala. thanks. an effort by democrats to create new federal laws for state elections has hit a roadblock in their own party. west virginia senator joe manchin announced in a charleston newspaper that he will not support it. that could sink the move to override republican state laws that limit voting access. at are the oreside
7:09 am
can get manchin to change his mind? >> reporter: good morning, anthony. at this point it looks like it's close to zero. senator manchin made clear in that op-ed and in interviews that he is not opposed to all of the substance of the bill. his biggest issue is not a single republican has signed on board. manchin wrote that, i believe bipartisan levoting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy. they will offer 15 days of early voting and no-excuse absentee voting, restrict political gerrymandering and change campaign finance laws, among other things. some progressives were quick to criticize manchin, like new york congressman mondaire jones saying, manchin's op-ed might as well be titled, why i'll vote to preserve jim crow. even though we have seen time
7:10 am
and time again republicans in several states push for more restrictive voter laws. >> i can tell you, what goes around, comes around. it could be more damaging to them, too. the bottome ishe decrac if can'teo that, god help us. >> reporter: manchin also repeated that he would not vote to weaken or get rid of the filibuster and that may jeopardize several other items on president biden's agenda, like police reform, immigration reform and gun control. gayle? >> thank you very much. police have arrested a couple for the murder of aden laos, a 6-year-old little boy who was killed in an apparent road rage killing in southern california. officials were offering $500 reward for any lead to the suspects. i know that reward kept getting bigger and bigger and apparently
7:11 am
it paid off. >> reporter: it sure did. there were hundreds of tips that came in, according to authorities. that led to suspects and start surveilling them. police had suspects under surveillance for a short time and yesterday they moved in to arrest them. it happened at their home only about 20 minutes away from where the shooting happened. >> there was an arrest and so thankful for that. this seemed like the right place to be right now. >> reporter: as soon as news broke that police made an arrest in this case, people started to gather at a memorial site for aiden, which is on the orange county overpass where he was shot. 24-year-old marcus and 23-year-old winny lee were arrested sunday afternoon for the boy's murder in what officials say was an apparent road rage shooting. >> it doesn't bring the little boy back. so thankful that some justice will be served. >> reporter: according to his mom and witnesses who stopped to help her, she was driving him to
7:12 am
kindergarten on the morning of may 1st when the driver of a white vehicle cut her off. she responded with a hand gesture and that's when the driver got behind her and someone inside that white vehicle shot at aiden's mom car. they fired at the back of the vehicle. and the bullet struck aiden's carseat and hit him in the back. this is what his sister, alexis said. >> someone pulled out a gun and shot my little brother in the stomach and he said, mommy, my tummy hurts. so, she went and picked him up and he was bleeding on her. she had blood on her clothes. that was the last time that my mom saw him alive. >> reporter: police in southern california moved in to make the arrest just one day after family and friends packed a church in orange county to honor the 6-year-old boy's life. his mother, joanna, said she didn't really have the words to describe the joy he brought to their family. >> as long as you were next to
7:13 am
me, everything always felt right in theoveralsten exuded peace and love. >> what a little face. both of the suspects are expected to be cha w california highway patrol. what a weekend for this family funeral. the number of americans getting shots for covid has dipped below a key benchmark. the number of vaccinations is now fewer than 1 million per day. compared to more than 3 million less than two months ago. more than 138 million americans less than 42% of the population are fully vaccinated. but the large number of unvaccinated americans is jeopardizing efforts to achieve herd immune. one texas hospital requires their health care workers to get the shots and they
7:14 am
>> repr:on methodist is atal em foe th dede, y er get the flu vaccine, but when they mandated the covid vaccine, more than 100 employees sued. nurse jennifer bridges is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against her employer of seven years. houston's methodist hospital. which is requiring all workers to get the covid vaccine by today or risk losing their jobs. >> if we're not comfortable injecting something into our body, do not fire us and require us to lose our livelihoods. >> reporter: ceo says 99% of his employees have been vaccinated and calls the lawsuit nonsense. >> we have incredible real world sherns to show these are safe and effective. we have a sacred responsibility top fe.u haot b why?>> i'm not at all. there's not enough proper
7:15 am
research. it's still in the experimental phase. >> reporter: that argument doesn't hold up to the science, says cbs news medical contributor. >> experimental means you do not know if it's safe and you don't know if it works. these are thoroughly tested vaccines that have been shown to stop the virus and are very safe. >> reporter: while the lawsuit faces an uphill battle, one part of the complaint could prove convincing. according to cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. >> their point is that these vaccines only have been issued for emergency use only. the court could issue an injunction and really basically say, well, you can't fire these employees yet, at least until we know if the fda is going to grant approval, but it would be a different lawsuit if the fda gives full approval. >> reporter: even approval might not convince everyone. if the vaccine received full fda approval, would you get vaccinated?
7:16 am
>> not any time soon. >> reporter: pfizer and moderna have already applied for full fda approval. here at methodist, workers who are unvaccinated by midnight will be placed on an unpaid, two-week suspension and likely lose their jobs after that time. gayle? >> all right, janet, thank you very much. prince harry and meghan, have a new daughter name for the queen and for harry's mom. they revealed lilibet diana was born friday in california where the couple moved last year after an ongoing dispute with the royal family. we have more on the baby's name that was foreshadowed in their recent interview. >> whoa! you really are having a baby! >> i'm having a baby. >> reporter: it was during their sitdown with oprah back in march whenar meghan revealed the sex of their second baby. >> it's a girl.
7:17 am
>> oh, dad. >> reporter: lilibet diana mo mountbatten was born at a hospital and they plan to call her lili. it was welcomed with a flurry of welcome tweets including william and kate saying, we are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby lili. her name is a sentimental honor to two important women in the couples' lives. lilibet is the nickname queen elizabeth was given by her father, king george, after she struggled to pronounce her name as a little girl and diana after princess of wales. a loving tribute to family at a time when ties are strained. >> and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> reporter: that the somber occasion of the funeral of the queen's husband, prince philip,
7:18 am
harry and william were seen talking. "sun-times" royal correspondent. >> i think it will take more than the naming of a baby to patch things up. i'm understanding not many fences have been mended yet. >> reporter: according to rules set down 100 years ago, lili and archie will receive royal titles once their grandfather, prince charles, becomes king. now, lilibet is not only the most senior family of the modern family born outside of the united kingdom, the first one and also a u.s. born natural citizen, which means if she wants, if she wants, she's able to run for president. tony? >> quite an exciting story line there. thank you very much. i love the name lili. mountbatten is going to be difficult to spell in kindergarten. >> it's a family name. >> but i love that it's lili, i love that it's diana, i love that it's a girl.
7:19 am
can't wait to see the picture running for president one day. let's get her potty trained first. one step at a time. very excited for the both. >> interesting to thing about. >> i hope archie is excited as well. ahead, breaking news. announcement from amazon billionaire founder jeff bezos. we'll show you how he's putting

welcome back to "cbs this morning." only on "cbs this morning," new findings from a congressional investigation into infant incline sleepers finds that fisher-price failed to ensure its rock n play was safe and ignored warnings it was dangerous. the rock n play was on the market for about ten years. the consumer product safety commission says it's linked to more than infant deaths. 4.7 million were sold before a voluntary recall by the company in 2019. consumer investigative correspondent anna werner got an exclusive look at the report from the house committee on oversight and reform. anna, how is the rock n play allowed on shelves in the first
7:31 am
place? >> reporter: well, good question, anthony. these products weren't regulated like cradles and bassinets. and now this new report is g out its rent cpa mattel wnvtors a er deste clear evidence it put infants at risk of serious harm or death. >> this is outrageous. in my opinion, it's criminal. >> reporter: that's committee chairwoman carolyn maloney reacting to her overnight investigators' findings into how mattel and subsidiary fisher-price developed and sold the rock n play incline sleeper. >> we have to take steps to make sure this does not happen again. >> reporter: the subcommittee's report obtained exclusively by cbs news says fisher-price failed to ensure the rockaf bef market and ignored critical warnings that the product was dangerous. pediatricians say babies must sleep on a flat surface on their backs. but the rock n play sleeper put infants at an angle of 30
7:32 am
degrees. now the report finds when the product was launched in 2009 there was no independent research or even internal company research showing it was safe for babies to sleep at an angle. something pediatric injury expert dr. ben hoffman finds disturbing. >> the fact that there was no due diligence done in talking to experts, to even understanding what safe sleep was and how the incline sleeper product operated completely counter to what we know safe sleep to be. >> reporter: the report says in october, 2012, a mother reported to the company that her 2 month-old-son had stopped breathing in the sleeper. he was revived, but two months later, fisher-price was notified that a 15 week-old infant died in the rock n play. does that pain ever go away? >> no. no. no. it's been ten years, and i still -- i still cry. >> reporter: sarah thompson's
7:33 am
15-week-old son alexander also died in 2011 after napping in a rock n play. >> leaving without him was so hard to come home with a car seat in the back and no baby in it. probably the worst day of my life. >> reporter: thompson says she contacted the consumer product safety commission with no result. in fact, the report says it wasn't until 2018 that cpsc staff counted 17 infant deaths and became alarmed. one writing in an email, "holy cow, we need to discuss this. when the commission sees this, they're going to flip." but the voluntary recall of the rock n play did not happen until a little over a year later. because of what investigators called grave flaws in the u.s. consumer product safety system in which manufacturers are la largely left to police themselves. >> it's supposed to be the consumer product safety commis commission. and everything we've learned is the manufacturers are the ones protected. >> reporter: fisher-price told
7:34 am
us they disagree with significant parts of the report's findings. the company said the rock n play sleeper was designed and developed following extensive research, medical advice, safety analysis, and more than a year of testing and review. and that it met or exceeded all applicable regulatory standards. but chairwoman maloney says -- >> we have to hold corporations responsible. we have to put people over profits. >> reporter: the thompsons are suing fisher-price and mattel. fisher-price told us the rock n play sleeper was safe when used in accordance with warnings and instructions. now the acting chairman of the cpsc says there's a provision in the law, something called section 6b, which basically means for them that it undermines the agency's ability to warn consumers about dangerous products. and it should be repealed. that's undoubtedly going to be a topic of conversation today at a congressional hearing later on all of this. meanwhile, fisher-price is
7:35 am
recalling other baby sleep products this morning. the four-in-one rock n glide soother was linked to reports of four infant deaths. the children, all between 2 and 4 months old, were reportedly put on their backs in the soother unrestrained and later found on their stomachs. the company is also recalling its two-in-one soothe n play fwl gliders, though no deaths are associated with the products. the deaths underscore the important of following safety instructions. as you know, when a baby turns over and they are this young or turn their head to the side or drop their head in the incline sleeper, they don't have the muscle strength to roll back over many times or pick their head back up. >> yeah. it's a tragedy for the family. still a mystery how it took more than 30 infant deaths for these products to come off the market and more than a decade with them on the market. i'm glad something's happening now. thank you so much. coming up, jeff bezos surprises his brother with an invitation for the ride of a lifetime. see where they're going along

this morning our series "eye on earth" looks at the punishing drought gripping much of the western sympto. scientists are calling it a mega drought brought on by climate change. the latest u.s. drought monitor map shows large areas of the southwest are exceptionally dry. that's never good. the worst category is taking a dramatic toll on the colorado river system that provides water to 40 million people in seven different states. cbs news senior environmental correspondent, ben tracy, traveled to the iconic hoover dam and shows how the federal government may be forced to make a drastic and historic decision. amazing to see it up close. >> reporter: for more than eight decades, the hoover dam has relied on water from nevada's lake meade to coveup backsidew at age 85, it finds i uncomfortable exposed. much of the water the dam is supposed to be holdingr:at mulr
7:41 am
former head of the southern nea. she says lake meade, the nation's largest reservoir, is on track to soon hit its lowest level ever recorded. this part of the colorado river system is a crucial water supply for las vegas, phoenix, and southern california. it makes the vast agricultural land of the desert southwest possible. >> this landscape screams problems to me. i mean, just look at the bathtub rings. to me, that is an enormous wake-up call. >> reporter: lake meade is at just 37% of its capacity. it hasn't been full since back in 2000 when the water came right up to the top of hoover dam. sinc 00, lake meade th's har to e, but to of head, and way up there, that's where the water used to be. so you and i 2014 -- >> we did. >> reporter: at that time i
7:42 am
asked you how critical a point are we at. >> it's a pretty critical point. >> reporter: if you look at 30 feet lower now, what point are we at? >> we're at a tipping point. it's an existential issue for arizona, for california, for nevada. it is just that simple. >> reporter: for the first time ever, the federal government is expected to declare a water shortage on the lower colorado river later this summer. that will force automatic cuts to the water supply for nevada and arizona starting in 2022. homeowners have higher pro er p and won't feel it as badly as farmers. >> if we don't have irrigation water, we can't farm. >> reporter: dan thielander is a second generation family farmer in arizona's penault county. the water to grow his corn and alfalfa fields comes from like meade. >> next year we're going to get 25% less water.
7:43 am
we're going to have to not plant 25% of our land. >> reporter: in 2023, he and other farmers in this part of arizona are expected to lose nearly all of their water from lake meade. so they're rushing to dig wells to pump groundwater to try to save their farms. >> the future here honestly, i hate to say it, but it's pretty cloudy. >> this is an engineering marvel. >> reporter: back at hoover dam, facility marc livek cook has hi concerns. the dam's hydro-power output has been cut nearly 25%. these are generating the electricity. >> exactly. >> reporter: he wanted to show us the new turbine blades they just installed. >> right below us here is that brand-new turbine -- >> reporter: designed that keep the power flow ing at dam level. at some point it could stop producing electricity altogether. >> our previous number was elevation 1,050, now we're at10.
7:44 am

on friday. they've named her lilibet diana mountbatten windsor. lili for short, that's what they're going to call her. lilibet is a nickname for queen elizabeth, her great-grandmother. and diana, of course, for harry's mother diana. she weighed in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces. buckingham palace congratulated them saying the royals are delighted with the news. prince william and his wife, kate, also congratulated them on twitter. you may remember that harry and meghan first told oprah they were having a girl back in the cbs interview in march. cbs news royal contributor tina brown is with us. she's the author of "the diana chronicles" and has covered the royal family extensively. good morning to you, tina. >> good morning, gayle. >> good morning. tina's my partner in crime in all things royals. we were there for the wedding that day. i was so excited when i heard the news over the weekend that baby lili had arrived. i think the name they've given in tribute to the queen and in
8:04 am
tribute to diana is a very nice touch. what did you think of it when you heard? >> it's an enchanting name, let's face it, lilibet diana. amongst the royal, sort of older gen, there were a few raised eyebrows, i'm told, about using the queen's very intimate nickname that only her mother, her sister, and her husband were allowed to use. >> and, tina, wait. stop for a second on that. i heard that and i went, oh, please. now you're criticized because you're paying tribute to the queen? and now they get criticized for that? it's silly. >> i don't think anyone is criticizing. basically people are overjoyed about this baby because, you know, the queen herself just loves having all of these grandchildren. this lili is her 11th, and i'm sure she's touched and amused and thrilled that the baby has her nickname. and i also feel it's a great softening mechanism for the family right now that has had a lot of friction and a lot of wounds. there's nothing more uniting
8:05 am
than the advent of a new child. this is going to be, i think, a helpful emollient. the queen just loves having all these children running around. she actually has a very maternal streak now. in her early days, she found it very difficult to be the kind of mother she wanted to be with everything that was on her back, but actually as a grandmother and a great-grandmother, she has truly got into that role and loves it. i think she hopes that she'll see lili. i'm sure she does. i'm told. >> everybody wants to see lili. >> everyone wants to see lili. let's hope they both arrive in london in a happy mood bringing both children. everyone would be thrilled, i think. >> i know. i was just disappointed to hear there were any raised eyebrows about the baby's name. but moving on, baby lili makes history because she's the first senior royal to be born here in this country. so what does this mean in terms of succession? >> actually it won't change lili's position in the line of succession.
8:06 am
she's number eight now in the line of succession. and it doesn't matter where she's born. >> will she have a title? >> yes, she will have a title when the queen dies and charles becomes king. she can use the title princess lili, if she wishes. she will be a princess as will archie be a prince. that was always going to be true when the queen died and charles became king. she could also choose to be just plain lili mountbatten windsor or even lili sussex if she prefers. she could use that name if she wished. if she's princess lili, she is going to be the coolest girl in america. >> it's anthony. it's been three months since harry and meghan's interview with oprah. we heard it said earlier in this broadcast that most of the fences have not been mended since that. you said you think this will obviously soften folks up, but how much damage is there from what we know?
8:07 am
>> i think there's a lot of damage, actually. i do know the family are very much hoping to be able to mend the fence with harry particularly william. who incredible brother. so there's a hope, a desire even if it's just a crack to open that door. they want to keep that door widely opened. and i'm also told the queen has actually been very worried about harry since all of this began. he's talked very publicly about his mental health problems, and it's true he's spoken to the queen. she's very concerned about harry's mental health and is anxious not to do anything for him that would make him feel kind of pushed out or prematurely we're closing the door. she doesn't want to close the door, and his father doesn't either, actually. his father has been, i think, probably the most wounded by all of this because inadequate
8:08 am
though he may have been at times, he also felt that he'd done his best as a father, and i think was very taken aback by some of the things that harry has said recently about him. >> at the end of the day they are still family. we know diana's birthday is coming up. july 1st she would have been 60. there are big plans in the uk for that. it'll be a chance for the family to all see each other. i think it's very exciting times for everybody. thank you, tina. thank you very much. >> thank you, thank you. coming up, a surprising day at the french open. two legends, not one, but two, chasing tennis history are out of

8:44 am
there is growing concern this morning in many cities about a rise in violent crime. nationally homicide rates increased by 24% at the beginning of this year compared with the prior year. and that includes larger cities like new york and chicago and smaller cities like omaha and
8:45 am
louisville. addressing rising crime was a key focus for bill bratton, the former head of the boston, los angeles, and new york city police departments. he's out with a book on the changing face of policing and the reforms that he put in place. it's called "the professional: a memoir of community, race, and the art of policing in america." we should mention, we're happy to mention that he's married to cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. good morning to you, commissioner. >> great to be with you. great to be here. >> it's really great to have you here. >> yes. >> at the table. unfortunate to have you at the table at a time when we have crime rates going up. you oversaw historic declines in many cities. what would you do how it? >> the timing of the book is great in that respect. it's a tutorial, what worked, what didn't work over the last 50 years. we're in the midst of a crime crises once again as we're coming away from the coronavirus crises. and we don't have to reinvent. there's lessons learned that can address crime and the parallel race relations that we can do both at the same time.
8:46 am
we must. >> so i mean, on that question, systemic racism in policing comes up constantly at this table, all across the country people are talking about it. is it present in policing, your answer is yes, but. what's the about? >> yes, but in that it's not present everywhere, fortunately. it's like our society. systemic racism is present in almost every element of our society, our country. >> i appreciate you even mentioning that it's present. most people of your stature don't acknowledge it exists. >> how do you know our history and the history we're living out with the politics of today, the voter suppression, a lot of that is based on systemic racism. really is. >> you detail in one of the most powerful chapters in the book the implicit bias training that nypd officers go through. and it is truly impressive stuff. and yet you look at the record in the city and there have been more than $1 billion in settlements in line of duty deaths, where officers killed a suspect. what do you make of that
8:47 am
discrepancy? >> we put officers through four days of training to make them aware of implicit bias. to actually do something about it requires training. and a major focus of the book is that we need to refund police, not defund. we're going to need a lot more money to retrain to deal with bias, to deal with the homeless, to deal with the emotionally disturbed. >> one of the sticking points on federal police reform is what's called qualified immunity and holding officers accountable. what changes would you support to qualify immunity? >> more importantly the police leadership are ready to support changes in qualified immunity. you can't do away with it. it is so critically important to the morale of officers, but also in some respects to their livelihood. but it can be reformed. two key words, it's one that the action has to be lawful and, two, that the officers have to basically be aware that what they're doing is what a
8:48 am
reasonable person would do. it's a very misunderstood term and concept, and i'm glad it's out there being discussed. >> i am, too. i like that you said implicit bias is not a -- a human issue, not a law enforcement issue. i think to follow up on anthony's point, most people -- certainly people of color -- are upset because it doesn't seem that police are held accountable. most times in these situations you're meeting people in your worst possible day, the officers will say, well, don't resist, do what we say, we've got to figure out a way to see each other in this time and we don't do that. >> yes. to see each other. the good news about this is that we have been reforming. i talk about that in the book, that we've been reforming for 50 years. we have more accountability than we did. we have better training than we did. >> isn't that the issue or do you think the issue is better training, deescalation in particular? they're the professionals. >> i think the training is the key. to build trust and it's essential build trust, you're going to have to have better training, better accountability.
8:49 am
better transparency. and we now have capabilities there with the cameras that they're all carrying. you know, this is an inflection point, and let's not get it wrong this time. as we've gotten so much wrong in the past. i'm very excited about the opportunities of the crises at the moment. >> you wanted to be a cop since you were a toddler out directing traffic. wrote your first cop book at 11. you love going a cop but know there's work to do. >> and the flaws. >> the book dedicated to 22,000 officers who died in the line of duty. you say those lives count, police matter. if people are interested in the police perspective, this gives it to them. >> thank you. >> commissioner, thank you so much. "the profession," goes on sale tomorrow. on today's podcast, congresswoman karen bass and naacp president derek johnson discuss their hopes for real police reform. we'll be right back.
