7:15 am
>> thank you, clip. vice president joe biden talks tonight on "face the nation." accusing the black lives matter movement of doing what it wants to stop. >> when you say, black lives matter, that's inherently racist. >> well, i think -- >> black lives matter, white lives matter. asian lives matter, hispanic lives matter. that's anti-american and it's racist. >> reporter: cbs news political moderator john dickerson joins us now. >> good morning. >> what did you make of the former new york mayor. >> depends what he means by black lives matter. there's the movement and the larger movement for social justice and they get mixed a lot. the protest in dallas was called black lives matter, and the protest itself wasn't. it's not clear what he meant. seems to me he meant the black lives matter phrase is about black lives mattering more. the black lives matter matter
7:16 am
phrase is about black lives should matter as much as, and that's the disconnect, and that's not an uncommon disconnect that he was speaking to there. >> and that's why it's so frustrating, john. anybody in the black lives matter movement has never said that black lives matter more than yours. they're just trying to bring attention to the cause a lot of black, unarmed men are being shot by white police officers, and it's frustrating, people think dylan roof, killed nine people in south carolina. the 12 killed in colorado, wounded 70, both white people, were both arrested, and not killed. you're thinking, how are these people able to survive, and unarmed black men being killed? very difficult. >> i think newt gingrich is the one who in the last few days said there is -- that white people thinking about this idea instinctively underestimate that sense of threat that comes, and that it is -- in order to have this conversation, both sides
7:17 am
need to understand the other, and that if you take the gingrich approach to black lives matter and this idea that you are instinctively underestimating the threat from the police, then you can begin a conversation that understands that in certain communities, young, black men in particular, feel a sense of threat. that's what gingrich was talking to. rudy giuliani more broadly trying to push back, feeling there's been an overfocus on the police trying to paint with too broad of brush. of course, that's also what those in the african-american community feel, also too broad a brush in defining the black lives matter movement. >> is there a certainly responsibility by politicians, former politicians and those of us in the media to make sure the facts are clear? giuliani said on your show yesterday the real danger is 99 out of 100 times it's other black kids who are going to kill them. that's not true. >> yes, there is a fact issue in this entire conversation. i think what ends up happening is, you know, rudy giuliani was
7:18 am
trying to push back against the idea -- well, mixing, also conflating. it's possible that violence in certain neighborhoods can be bad and it can also be possible there are racial disparities in the criminal justice system. those two things can happen at the same time and he was kind of mixes them. >> according to fbi statistics, 90% of black people are killed by black people and 80% of white people are killed by white people. those are the facts. >> and that needs addressed, too. >> where does that conversation come from? >> where the conversation comes from, at least from rudy giuliani, his argument, if you care about black lives, focus on this other thing. the response is, you can focus on both. >> yes. >> and that when you talk about the police, you're talking about a specific instance in which people are given the authority to use force by the state and that that requires certain limits, and that's a separate conversation from the violence happening in african-american communities and mixing them only clouds the issue, some people argue. >> talk about politics as well.
7:19 am
one question. what about the president -- well -- is this going to be a political issue? is this going to sharpen, and people responsible? all of us are frustrated. not just you, everybody. >> yes. >> what's the president going to try to do this week? >> well, the president, you know, this is a -- very tough for him, because he's trying to do two things. yesterday when you saw the secretary of homeland security with commissioner bratton in new york, they were sending a clear message, we're not anti-police. so the president wants to send that but also speak to the legitimate fears he sees in the african-american community. >> good to have you here. thank you so much. >> to be continued. dallas police face criticism after killing the man with a debate over whether
7:20 am
a close-knit police department shaken to the core after its first officer is killed in the line of duty. >> ahead, their chief talks

7:33 am
police sent a robot armed with sdplo explosives the kill the gunman and now criticized for using the military-style hardware. >> reporter: good morning. bomb squads will tell you these robots can do pretty much anything a person can do. go up stairs, have cameras and speakers to communicate, and also have these arms. and those arms would typically be used to investigate a suspicious package, but some police departments used them to do things like deliver tear gas. but for a police department to use a robot to kill, that was unprecedented. hours after micah johnson opened fire in downtown dallas he was cornered by police and told negotiators there were bombs around the city and threatened to kill more officers. the dallas mayor says there were no other options than to send in a robot strapped with the explosive c-4.

>> outpouring throughout the community and the united states has been absolutely outstanding. >> the president was in europe to try to alleviate tensions. now he'll try to alleviate tensions here in the u.s. >> the secretary of homeland security with commissioner sending a message, we're not anti-police. the president wants to send that. on the other hand, he wants to also speak to the legitimate fears he sees in the african-american community. >> some police departments used them to deliver tear gas. for a police department to use a robot to kill, that was unprecedented. >> take a look at the count in the stands today. -- got it.

8:02 am
sniper who killed five police officers. notes and flowers fill a memorial site outside dallas police headquarters. prayer vigils took place over the weekend in the city. the gunman was 25-year-old micah johnson. police believe he had plans for a larger attack. they suspect he acted because of last week's deadly police shootings of black men in minnesota and louisiana. >> and the dallas police chief says that johnson taunted officers during a roughly two-hour negotiation. officers armed a robot with c-4 explosives to stop the standoff. he wrote the letters r.b. on a wall before johnson died. police officers are searching johnson's home trying to figure out what those initials mean. they found a journal containing tacticing and a journal containing arsenal and bombmaking materiels. and the first officer ever
8:03 am
lost by the rapid transit police. all served in the dallas police department. wounded in the ambush, he saw three members of his unit killed. >> being there and watching people that, you know, we see every day. people that we get to know their families. we get to know them personally, at a level that you can't even imagine. we ride around in the car eight, sometimes more hours, stinky, sweaty -- you know, everything. and then we go through things that most people don't see in they are entire life. you get really close to people. and these were my brothers, and i -- i hate to say that there was -- i -- frustrated, because
8:04 am
i couldn't do more. >> saying officers zamarripa bought a homeless man food during a protest. that was just before zamarripa was gunned down. he said it represents the character of his colleagues who were killed. >> protest over police killings of black men grew and spread over the country. demonstrators blocked traffic from los angeles to memphis. police in batten rouon rouge, louisiana, protesting the death of alton terrill nearly a week ago. and sunday's protest over the deadly shooting of philando cass still were peatile castile, in contrast to what happened over the weekend. president obama cut his foreign trip short after the killings. he said all sides need to listen to each other. >> everybody involved in the black lives matters movement or
8:05 am
other civil rights organizations or who are protesting, just as i want all of them to -- maintain a respectful, thoughtful tone. i would hope that police organizations are also respectful of the frustrations that people in these communities feel. >> tomorrow the president will deliver remarks at the dallas memorial service for the slain officers. maryland democratic congressman elijah cummings is with us now from baltimore. his city faced riots last year after a young black man, his name, freddie gray, died of injuries received while in police custody. congressman, thank you for joining us. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i heard you say yesterday we don't have time to turn against each other. we have to turn towards each other. we just heard the president say, we all need to listen to each
8:06 am
other. can the country listen and hear at this particular time, at this moment? >> i don't think we have a choice. i think we are at a very critical moment in this country's history, and with what is going on with people -- everybody's upset and concerned, but i think we need to try to do what newt gingrich said he's been trying to do. that is, he said as a white man, he tries to put himself in -- said it's very difficult in the place of african-americans, and african-american men like me, i'm 65 years old, i know what it feels like to, every time you get no your car, to worry about being arrested by the police. even now as a congressman. but at the same time, on the other hand, people seem to think that when one asks for accountability, transparency and good policing, does that mean that they are not very sympathetic and very concerned
8:07 am
and upset when police officers die and are ambushed the way these officers were. or any armed consequence against them. it's a mutual respect. one of the things as i was leaving to come to this interview this morning, one of the guys in my neighborhood, i live in the inner city of baltimore. a guy said, mr. cummings, tell me something when that boy dylan roof down there in south carolina killed those people at the church, they went in and got him a burger, at burger king, but yet, still, the man in baton rouge, and minnesota, died. so we have to look at both sides of this, and try to put ourselves in the place of the other, and i think that -- people just assume that you're going to go to one corner or go to another and then you start talking past each other. this is a critical moment. i'm glad that president, former
8:08 am
president bush, will be joining the president tomorrow, and in dallas, to address these issues. i think it's so important that we talk to each other, and that we continue -- there's absolutely nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations, but i am not going to sit here and beat up on the black lives matter young people, because all they want is what our constitution has guaranteed them. and they simply want respect of the police. >> congressman -- >> and, by the way, there are a lot of great police, and i -- so i want to make that clear. okay? >> yes. a very important point. >> how do we make it different this time? how do we make sure it goes beyond dialogue? >> well -- well, i think it's got to be a multifaceted effort. number one, we have really got to look at and accept the fact that there are the young people
8:09 am
in the african-american community have a lot of legitimate grievances, because of basically what they see. this thing called the cell phone is -- and being able to take pictures. they now see more of what is happening. so we've got to deal with things like, making sure, addressing recruitment. i talk to police officers every day and they tell you that there are people on the force they know shouldn't be on the force. so we've got to deal with recruitment. we've got to deal with making sure that there is training with regard to de-escalation. a lot of times we've seen situations where folks, police come along, and actually make things worse. i saw that as a trial lawyer. and then we've got to make sure that people give the same kind of respect to the police. and by the way, going back to what newt gingrich said, there are a lot of people who have biases and don't even know they have biases on our forces. so we have to begin to, again -- i think the more each side says,
8:10 am
you know what? we're going to sit down. we're going to talk. we're going to be honest with each other, and try to put ourselves in your place. i mean, that's going to be the key to this. the other thing we're going to have to do is, i think it's one songwriter has a song that says, it's the soul that needs the surgery. we have to really come face to face, both police and citizens, and say, we need each other, and for a policeman to do his job, he needs the cooperation of the public, but you know what? the public needs the police to protect them and serve. so we need each other. that's why i say we have no choice. we've got to make this work. >> yes. the public also needs the police too. a very important point. the president said america is not as divided as some suggested. briefly, do you agree with him on that? >> yeah. i don't think that america is divided as a lot of people think. i mean, the idea that -- when i was growing up, i never
8:11 am
imagined, never even imagined, that i would see a man of color in the white house. i still have to pinch myself. and i see and i look at the young children, and they don't say, a lot of them don't say black, white, they say that brown person that yellow person. in other words, they don't see black and white. i think a lot of our younger generation is getting past the whole race issue. i think some of us older folk, we need to catch up. >> yes. we could look -- congressman, you're right. we could learn from the children. you are right about that. thank you for joining us this morning, all righty. >> as a congressman, and vice president joe biden will join the president in tomorrow's service in dallas. before that, scott pelley talks to the vice president tonight on the "cbs evening news." and live video, playing a crucial role in life and death scenes from minnesota to dallas. ahead, serious new questions for social me

minnesota shooting and it is extraordinary, the emotions you see as you see that. add in the fact as you watch it, you're seeing commentary of your friends and other people thinking about it, makes the whole experience much more intense and will mp pla phi every news event as we go forward. >> what are the dangers of that? people had a visceral reaction, especially those who knew this man seen literally dying right before our eyes. how can you censor something like this? >> it makes us more impassioned and does that in part because of the experience of watching with your friends. you can imagine situations where people become more impassioned isn't necessarily a good thing, seeing things without context or without the filters you've normally had. in the future, that can -- >> a lot of people say thank goodness she was able to do that. people argue, this is going on for years now the cameras are allowing us to see it.

8:33 am
the 13th amendment doesn't deal with that, and it was fueled by this era of lynching for decades we tolerated victimization of black and brown people who were terrorized and then we codified a racial hierarchy through segregation and today black and brown people in america are burdened with a presumption of dangerousness and guilt. >> and you believe it has a direct link to slavery? >> well, i do. >> and that inability to somehow come to grips? >> i think our failure -- >> the not understanding of the ramifications of slavery? >> i think our failure to take seriously this problem is rooted in our unwillingness to acknowledge all of the damage that was done by slavery, and the damage that was done by lynching and the damage that was done by segregation. look, i am 56 years old. i've got a law degree from harvard, honorary doctorates, argued in the supreme court and have been pulled out of my car

children in this country that have stories to tell about how dangerous it is when they are encountering police, and it's unfair, to burden black and brown people in this country with the obligates to navigate police encounters' safety. the onus is on you as a black and brown person to say and do things that avoid tragedy, and that's not right. >> when the president says we're not divided as some people think we are, is he wrong? >> no. there are differences and have a real problem and we've got to change -- listened, what happened to the police officers in dallas is unquestionably horrific, and there will be no debate about the wrongfulness of that act. i grieve for those officers and their families, but there should also not be a debate about the wrongfulness of what happened in baton rouge and in minnesota and in too many other places, and there will be a debate. >> is that conversation happening now? when you see tens of thousands of people, people in protests,
8:36 am
in all of these different cities. is there a movement afoot, though, to address that? >> well, there is movement, there is reaction. we have to change the culture of policing. >> how do you do that? >> begin talking differently what a police officer is. too many police officers in this country think of themselves at warriors, not at guardians. you've got to change that culture. if 90% of police training in many of the departments is all about shooting and fighting at not impolicive -- >> do you think that's the issue? a matter of training? >> training is the beginning. our police officers ought to be the most sophisticated people in society when it comes to not being directed by implicit bias, because they're armed, they have responsibilities. they have to be the people we trust the most. not to presume others dangerous and guilty, but that's not what's happening. we have to do training and change that culture. create accountability. >> how do you change somebody's bias? >> you actually get them to
8:37 am
acknowledge when they see someone of a particular race, they're prime to think things that are unfair. and, you know, we've had to change our bias in the climate control area. we used to think it was appropriate to spray things and use fossil fuels but we've learned things and changed our behavior behaviors. i think we're equally at risk by the smog created by our history of racial inequality we've all been breathing in made a sea of black and brown people threatening and menacing when we're just trying to live our lives like everybody else. there are ways if we begin to acknowledge that, we have to create more shame about the police misconduct we have tolerated. create more shame about segregation, more shame about lynches and terrorism, and when we feel that shame, we feel the act to do something remedial. that's not happening in police culture as much as it needs to. >> it's important also not to paint the police with one brush either. the blacks are being painted by
8:38 am
one brush, i think it's important not to paint the police departments with one brush, too. >> i don't think there's no question about, we have thousands of black police officers in the country. there are thousands of police officers who very much of committed to public safety, and that commitment has to be honored by changing the culture in a way that we can trust one another. we've done so little in this country to hold police officers accountable. good police officers want to be held accountable. but when you have the court saying it's okay to lie and cheat, tolerate deception and don't respond as a community, black and white, brown and others, to these horrific shootings of young men of color, we're going to foster this continuing divide. >> thank you, bryan, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for being here. the louisiana and minnesota police shootings have people talking about the future of race relations, but one university is also trying to answer for its past. up next, the school that survived by selling off slaves

more than 150 years after america banned slavery with battle with its legacy. the conversation over race extends to every level of society and includes some of the nation's most prominent institutions. to louisiana in search of the troubling history of georgetown university. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. 178 years ago georgetown was
8:43 am
free to everyone who was able to attend. it was also massively in debt, and to pay that debt, the university sold 272 slaves. the very people that helped build the school itself. today, its leaders, students and alumni are grappling with that history. you have not attempted to open it? >> no. not in a number of years. >> reporter: >> we record marriages. >> reporter: so every important date in a family. >> right. >> reporter: once generations ago, to the whitewashing of history. >> that's what i'm thinking, but i don't know. >> reporter: a history for many african-americans can only be traced back a few generations. the branches relied on tales
8:44 am
told by elders, like this one. of great-aunts traded as the currency of nation-building. >> it's told very young she waved good-bye to her mother on a shore and watched her mother get on a ship or boat, and so she never saw her again. so how did that happen? when did that happen? where did she go? >> reporter: these missing pieces. >> definitely missing pieces. >> reporter: until a phone call from a stranger started to fill in the holes of her family tree. >> so what did you say? >> i listed the names. i said, i'm an alumnus of georgetown. >> reporter: were you suspect at first? >> i was not, because i didn't give him information. he gave me information. he came up with names that i knew from my grandmother's side of the family. >> and like that she said, let's start the whole conversation over again. >> reporter: richard told
8:45 am
branche her great-great-grandparents were part of a group of 272 slaves who in 1838 were sold by georgetown university to three plantations in southern louisiana. near where branche and her brother still live. >> was this the piece of the puzzle you just didn't have? >> well, certainly, my entire identity is wrapped up in the folks who came before me, the things that made us family, the traditions that were handed down. >> this church in particular ministered to their needs. >> reporter: he isn't a historian, he run as software company. after researching his alma mater he happened upon a georgetown slave sale which settled a debt and saved a university. >> sold in 1838 money, which is about $3.3 million today, and that money was literally used to help georgetown avoid bankruptcy.
8:46 am
>> well, hello! >> reporter: he hired baton rouge genealogists to help track down the descendants of those original 272 slaves. she pored through meticulous records kept by louisiana clergymen, priests who baptized, marrieded and even buried slaves who stayed true to the faith. >> your 1847. >> yeah. >> baptized, son of henny. >> right. amazing. >> reporter: lineages in black and white. he estimates there are between 10,000 and 15,000 descendants list living today. >> there's only one thing that separates these benefactors from most of georgetown's other benefactors. >> and what is that? >> it's race. i can see that if somebody had written a check in 1838 that wiped out the university of debts, there's no doubt in my mind that buildings would be named after that person. that person would be celebrated,
8:47 am
and his descendants would have no problem whatsoever being admitted to georgetown, even down into this day. >> we're saying what is our responsibility today, in this moment? >> reporter: john dejoya is georgetown university's president. >> slavery, part of why it was so awful, was that for 200 years people could not pass on any form of wealth to the next generation. >> right. >> and here is an institution on the backs of 272 people, certainly the debt was paid. could the university offer, you know, legacy status? >> sure. >> it's a tough question. >> it is. these are complicated, for a number of reasons. >> why? >> i believe the fundamental question that we're wrestling with now is, how can we contribute in new ways to ensuring ever-more access and afford ability to higher
8:48 am
education in america for the hundreds of thousands who are not able to access it? >> reporter: he convened a group of students, alumni and professors, which will make several recommendations on how the university should best recognize its role in slavery. he's even plet with some of the descendants themselves, asking the question they've faced for generations. how to pay back that human investment. >> reporter: do you feel as though georgetown owes these families a debt? >> well, certainly. how to collect on a debt from however long ago wouldn't be my purpose, but if georgetown wants to do something, it maybe the benefit for my nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews would be wonderful. it would be fantastic. >> reporter: the university is hoping that by the fall they
8:49 am
will have concrete ideas about how to memorialize the 272 original slaves. some early ideas include memorials, campus dialogues and scholarships, but most importantly, this story is part of a larger conversation about equality, and they really hope it will continue. >> uh-huh. i read in the paper that historians say this is the first time the president of an elite university has met with the descendants of slaves in this particular case t. is the first time, and jack and john dejoya is adamant about making sure these conversations are, one, heard, and that have a process beyond this. >> two georgetown graduates sitting right here. a great story. thank you. we'll be right back. yo
