chauvin. good afternoon. we continue to follow breaking news. protests and unrest gripping much of the country. this is a live look at minneapolis. so far today, protests across the country have been peaceful. demonstrators calling for justice after the death of george floyd. there is a large police presence around the capitol there. but it was a different story overnight. dozens american cities big and small fell violent clashes. police using force to disperse crowds and enforce curfews. from chicago to los angeles to detroit and washington, d.c., protesters lit fires and destroyed store fronts. in new york, police struggled to get large crowds off the streets. protesters were seen throwing items at police. officers arrested more than 350 people overnight. and new video, we warn you this is disturbing, shows an nypd car

plowing into a crowd of protesters. it is unclear if anyone was seriously hurt in that incident. the mayor addressed the situation. >> i didn't like what i saw one bit. i did not want to ever see something like that. i don't want to ever see it again. and clearly, we need to do a full investigation and look at the actions of those officers and see what was done and why it was done and what could be done differently. but i also want to emphasize that situation was created by a group of protesters blocking and surrounding a police vehicle. >> in nashville, demonstrators set fire to the historic courthouse and city hall. meese are looking for the suspects. and in minnesota, the governor activated the national guard to bring order back to the streets. local leaders called for calm and said more needs to be done to address the underlying issues. >> if we do not get to that systemic problem, eventually this will get us back to a point

that led to our communities on fire. the our security and safety in question. and searching for who we are. >> we can either channel this energy towards destroying our own communities, towards burning and looting our barber shots, our restaurants, our family owned businesses, the lives and livelihoods that have gone in to all of those institutions. or we can take this energy and we can channel it towards building a better future. >> let's go to nbc's morgan chesky in minneapolis. what is expected to happen today? >> we do know a number of peaceful protests have been planned later throughout today. but we're standing in downtown minneapolis right now and it is a relative ghost town even

though that curfew lifted at 6:00 a.m. this morning. we know if everywhere you look block by block, you'll see businesses looking just like this. plywood over each window. black owned. the owner putting that on a specific business in hopes of saving this should these crowds that have been so destructive during the night make their way through this area. we do know there is a clear delineation from the peaceful crowds in the afternoon and the damaging ones we've seen move through this city. block by block in the evening. we know that last night we saw a significant change in the fact of triple the footprint of law enforcement than we've seen in past days. we know that 1,000 more national guardsmen arrived yesterday. and that resource combined with the state police enforced that curfew for the first time since put into effect. we were standing just blocks away from the fifth precinct when they enforced that and dispersed a crowd of 1,000

people that had gathered peacefully there. i think that there is a sense of frustration in the community and those who gather in the afternoon feel like they're not getting a chance to get their message out because they're being confused with the damaging crowds that are in the evening. it moved through the city in the night time. and right now there is some sort of hope that going forward they can have a chance to have their message be heard because as we've seen, there's been so much collective unease in this city, alicia, that you have people wanting to rebuild but at the same time fearful for what could come next because we know that derek chauvin was taken into custody. he faces third degree murder and manslaughter charges. there are still three officers that were connected to the death of george floyd that as of right now in their eyes have yet to face any sort of punishment or even acknowledgement of their role in that death. alicia? >> morgan, thank you. more than 345 people were

arrested overnight as protesters took to the streets in all five boroughs of new york city. andrew cuomo today urged demonstrators to push for change but to do so peacefully. >> use this moment, use this empowerment, this mobilization and use it for good. use it for good. so that when we look back we say, yes. this story was all too familiar in some ways. what happened to mr. floyd is all too familiar. but the outcome was different. it was actually a moment of positive change. >> nbc's corey coffin is in harlem. what can you tell us about the review the governor is ordering about nypd's contact with protesters this week?

>> yeah. alicia, we moved to times square. there is a protest planned later today for this area right here. yeah, let's talk about governor cuomo's response too. the last three days of protest and independent review he ordered. he ordered new york's attorney general to be looking into this situation and this is both on the actions of nypd police officers and these viral videos that we've seen, the with thaunz include the suv plowing into a krou crowd of protesters and that viral video from the day before of that woman being shoved very hard by what appeared to be a police officer. so these indents on the part of the police as well as incidents on the part of protesters where you have this violence, where you have these reports and these cases, charges being brought against those throwing molotov cocktails into occupied police vehicles. looting, assaults, and other violence happening that seems to only be escalating by the day. so not only is he ordering the

attorney general to look into both sides, he says this needs to be an independent investigation. kit not be done at the local level, police policing themselves and the other prosecutors policing their friends. it has to be done at that level and be made public within 30 days. alicia? >> corey, we heard a lot about curfews in other cities. is there any discussion of that happening in new york city? >> you know, the mayor was asked about that. he said at this time he has no plans to institute a curfew here in new york. this despite half a dozen protests planned for today. including as i mentioned here in times square later on today. but we also know that the governor has the national guard on stand by should they need it. he said they also deployed more police officers as protests continue to grow upstate as well. we'll be monitoring the

situation here. we'll bring you the latest as developments come. >> thanks, corey. protests for racial justice are expanding beyond u.s. soil from a black lives matter protest in germany to transfer change on the streets of london. people are gathering across europe to march for civil rights this weekend. molly hunter is talking to protesters outside the u.s. embassy in london and filed this report. >> good afternoon. protesters are going through london all day long. they started where the most famous landmarks. they marched by the prime minister's residence and ended right here in front of the u.s. embassy. you see that flag. that is the american embassy here in london. i want to give you a sense of what the scene is like now. the protest ez set up protests set up a little bit here. protesters are now marching back to the square. it is peaceful.

there is very little police -- force zblors very peaceful. >> it's very peaceful. the world is waking up. i will bring it there -- thank you, i appreciate that. >> we're waking up. >> daniel is going to share, you've been marching all day. look, i have two questions for you. what was it like watching the u.s. this week from london? does it resonate? >> it resonates. 400 years we've been having to deal with. and we're still being linked and murdered today. my brother was shot four times in his back. the policemen's evidence was that my brother was facing him. the courts accepted that evidence. the autopsy shows he has four shots in the back. how can the evidence be accepted? the rules and regulations for england and america are not different. they are exactly the same. >> why is it important to be out

here today to march past the prime minister's residence? what is the message here? >> to highlight this inus in. cannot continue. i believe that this is -- this is a different assault. this is a different murder. we can see the protest going on around the world. we have just had enough. everybody has had enough of these live lynchings. look at the cnn reporter that got arrested. live on television. what everybody saw exactly what happened. the police went away. they came on television and reported what happened. even with the evidence live on television, the police came with a story that clearly did not match the evidence. and they're doing this live on television. they do not care. they have the power of the system behind them. and they can lie, lie on television. and it doesn't matter. >> i appreciate you being live on television with us. you guys, we're going to catch

up with protests, too. >> i really appreciate it, guys. thank you. now we're doing a lot of listening as we're walking through this the streets. we're going to catch up with the protesters as well. we'll keep you posted. we'll bring you more voices from london. what's very clear though is that the rest of the world is absolutely watching what is happening here in the u.s. alicia? >> thank you, molly. amid the widespread protests is a singular call for justice for george floyd. in a number of other african-americans who have needlessly lost their lives. in order to understand the present, it helps to look towards the past. in a 1967 speech, civil rights revolutionary martin luther king jr. once said "but in the financial analysis a riot is the language of the unheard. and what is it that america has failed to hear"? over 50 years later, what is america still not hearing? with me now is reverend bernice a. king, the daughter of dr. martin luther king jr. and ceo

of the king senter in atlantcen. you tweeted about people quoting your father saying many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate and may already hate the authentic king. what is your understanding looking at all of these protests across the country about their objectives and how your father would feel about them today? >> look, i think the objectives are those who are truly protesting or directly connecting to the issues that my father was address egg. the issue is there is still two americas. the there is america for black people and there is america for white people. i would say it is america for white supremacists thinking and privilege and as america for everybody else. that is problematic. and so people who are protesting legitimately protesting are trying to raise that issue.

we're tired and fed up with the talk. it's time to do the work. dismantling white supremacy and creating another america, a true america. >> when you talk about that work, what does that work look like to you? >> well, i think we have to start where the hot button is right now. we've got to deal with police reform in this system. we have to deconstruct the policing. it was always based in keeping black people, negroes, colored and slaves in check. and so we've got to dismantle all of that and come up with something new. the 21st century task force on policing was a very good start. i am encouraging the president of the united states to, the justice department, to pick that back up. because incredible work was done at that time. it deals with looking at hiring. it deals with this police brutality and h.r. 4408 we need to revise it, garner excessive use of force, prevention act.

feen the officer d even if the police officer did it, he would have immediately been arrested. >> the way black community get what they want is nonviolence and peace. where do you believe the community's focus should be in this moment? >> you know, my father gave us some words back in '67 in his book "where do we go from here." he said the task, speaking of going forward, is to organize our strength into compelling power. now is the time like never before to organize the strength of all of these individuals, all of us who are focused on bringing true equity and justice in this country to work together, to move our nation forward. it's not about the riots right now. we understand that. that is the language of the unheard. it's really about what do we do to correct the systems and the structures that have been in place for more than 400 years that continue to oppress people, that continue to treat people

like they're almost animals? that's what we have to do the work of. i'm calling on white people in this nation to start challenging other white people. because that is a fundamental problem. >> i spoke yesterday with john lewis, another icon of the civil rights movement when i asked him how he felt watching these images going through the moment. he said he felt extremely sad this is the conversation we're having 55 years later. and so i wonder to you, as you watch coast to coast these protests, as it is all set against the backdrop of a virus that has ravaged black and brown communities, unemployment rates in those communities, do you think this moment is any different than moment that's have come before it? >> i do think it's different. i think it's different because there are circles of people now in the white community who are really seriously looking at the issue of white supremacy.

looking in their hearts. looking in their souls. speaking some of the language but recognizing that this has to change and it cannot go back to business as usual. this is a moment of opportunity. there is a cleansing going forward in this nation. people are crying out and this cry is being heard all over this land and all over this world. and we will see fundamental change one way or another. there is a solid foundation of love and nonviolence and change and justice for all people. >> reverend king, thank you. up next, how to have a real conversation about race in america. stay with us. when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place.

the protests that erupted nationwide since the deaths of george floyd and brianna taylor are not new. the pain is not new. congressman and civil rights activist john lewis says 65 years later he remembers the face of emmit till. his death sparking national outrage leading to the civil rights movement. lewis writes "despite the real progress, i see video of unarmed black americans being killed and falsely accused. my heart breaks for these men and women and families and country that let them down again. i'd like to bring in haze brown, co-host of the buzz feed podcast. erin hanes editor at large, laticia buckner, former a political organizer for the elizabeth warren campaign and andre perry author of the book "know your price."

andre, i want to start with you. in this brookings report, you write the racial attitudes that lead police to choke black people as the country previously witnessed with the 2014 death of eric garner in new york which was also caught on video are the same that clued black people from employment and investment opportunities. talk to me, connect the dots about how this is all part of a larger broken system. >> there are policies in discreet areas. there is economic development and the seeming discreet and you see the people 2 1/2 times the whites in minneapolis. we should not be surprised to learn that black households earn less than half of half of white households. we should not be surprised to see 46% of black people owning a

home compared to 79% in that same region. when black people do own a home, those homes are devalued by roughly 20%, about 33,000 per home f that home in the black nand was helicoptered in a white neighborhood, it would increase in value by $33,000. police are supposed to protect and serve. but it's clear that they are protecting the beneficiaries of inherent racist policies and practices. >> a lot of this is not about just policing. again, all of these inequities are the same attitudes that led to the cop to press his knee on floyd's neck. so we have to hold corporate

executives accountable. we have to hold housing folks accountable. this transcends criminal justice and underlying it all is structural racism. and so we need to get the data. i work at a think tank. we need to produce data that enabled activists to unhinge the architecture of inequality. we need for policymakers to actually deliver concrete policy that will unhinge the structure of inequality. again, structural inequality transcends sector. and so we need to get at those basic primal sort of structures. >> aaron, i want to play some sound for you from atlanta mayor talking as a mother and a mayor when bracing for the protests. take a listen. >> i am a mother to four black

children in america. one of whom is 18 years old. and when i saw the murder of george floyd, i hurt like a mother would hurt. i called my son and said where are you? is i said i cannot protect you and black boys shouldn't be out today. >> erin, mayors across this country, governors across this country grappling with what this means for their communities. clearly the mayor there also grappling for what it means for her for her family and community. where are those messages resonating and where are they falling short? >> well, i this i that in my hometown of atlanta where we did hear from bottom speaking as a

black woman and an atlantian, you know, leader of a city that does have tremendous amount of black businesses and tremendous amount of a long history of black political power, balancing that with her concerns as a mother and a black american who shares the outrage of black americans across the country about an issue that, frankly, remains unresolved from the time of the civil rights movement when another atlantian was trying to fight against racism and trying to dismantle inequality in this country. and so you see black leaders across the country who are torn. you know, between their identities as black americans but also, you know, having to manage governing an entire city, many cities across america that are erupting because of the long standing systemic issues that andre just addressed. the pandemic within a pandemic,

trying to manage those duel crisis with their duel identities is a challenge to say the least. >> in the backdrop of all of this, you have the president designating a domestic terrorist organization. i wonder what you made of that development. >> he would name a domestic terrorist organization. there is no executive order written. there's been nothing that has been put out there that actually says that it is an terrorist organization. a lot of people don't know what it means. they seem to think there is some leader out there who is directing the masses, be it george soros or someone else in the shadows. that doesn't exist. it is an umbrella term for very loose coalition. so for the president to say that we're naming it a domestic terrorist organization, that doesn't make sense. in will they can produce what they mean by that and what statute they would name this

organization az domestic terrorist group is just agitation and more meat for his base, more red meat for the base to say i'm taking action against these radical left wingers who are destroying your cities and emphasis on your cities. this is much throughout we've seen as people try to push back on actual change being pushed forward by protesters. >> i was struck by this "new york times" headline this morning. how are you thinking about all of this? >> well, there needs to be change on all fronts, not just on a political organizing standpoint. we're a part of the same

institutions. and so our demand is we want the firing and revoking of the pensions of the police officers that killed her in wilouisville kentucky. there needs tore change on all fronts, not just a political organizing front. >> andre, i want to come back to that headline. it is a call from black leaders from black activists that need to hear more from the democratic party. that they want to hear more from the biden campaign. when you go back to the policies that you outlined at the beginning of this segment, what is it look like to have a candidate for president stand up and put his weight behind those? >> yeah. you know, the president -- the vice president biden has an opportunity here. he has a policy agenda, lift every voice. but it's not enough to essentially say, hey, this is what i'm going to do. you can actually establish the policies now. you can get the black

communities involved. there's a way you can actually leverage this document in a way that leads to concrete policy. we should not go back to 2016 where a candidate essentially provided black americans lip service. essentially took our votes for granted. this time we need the policies up front. we need to understand them. we need to have black people in them. if trump and the republican party gets a slither of the black vote, it's going to be very difficult for democrats to win. >> all right. hayes, erin, leticia and andre,

thank you. with the nation in crisis, new reports about the on going debate inside the white house over how the president should respond. it can be particularly difficult to track incidents of police violence in america. we'll explain why and how it is a big part of the problem. how about no no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. we're pretty different.n-no-no somos muy diferentes. muy diferentes.

is not legal authority for the perfect ez to do this. there is no statute that provides for making an american organization a terrorist group. there is domestic terrorism and we have seen examples of that and attorney general bill barr put out a statement just moments ago saying that they will proceed and prosecute these antifa members for committing acts of domestic terrorism in these violent clashes and protests we've seen in the last few days. again, it's not clear what the president means in this tweet. we reached out to the white house and we have yet to hear back. he's had the focus on antifa for the better part of a year. he said this was under consideration last summer. it's probably he may not be able to do so. still, the administration very focused on that extremist group.

robert o'brien was on the sunday shows this morning talking specifically about what the administration is prepared to do against in his words this mob. take a listen. we saw it in seattle and berkeley. we'll keep our eyes open for anyone else that wants to take advantage of the situation domestic or foreign. i think the president and attorney general want to know what the fbi has been doing to surveil, to disrupt, to take down antifa and prosecute them. this isn't the first time they're out there and using military style tactics. >> yeah. they come forward and say what they're doing specifically when it comes to the group. so we await that either today or tomorrow. but the white house is bracing for a third straight day of protests. the what we've seen on friday and saturday was in the afternoon a more peaceful gathering takes place just

beyond the white house gates. either on pennsylvania avenue or beyond lafayette park. and then as night falls, you see a more intense and violent clash. that was the case last night. we saw the secret service put out a statement that more than 60 of their officers sustained injuries. none of them life threatening. the president is here at the white house with no events on the schedule but plenty of tweets on these topics. alicia? >> monica, thanks. with me now is samuel we, a co-founder of campaign zero and co-founder of we the protesters. thank you so much for being with us. we keep talking about how these are systemic problems, right, how they have date of birto be . before we go there, lay out for me what you see as sort of the core issues that lead to the type of use of force that we are

now seeing. >> we've been building the most comprehensive data base in the country. what we have found is that 1200 people, anywhere between 1100 and 1200 people killed by police each year in this country. and black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than white people as well as more likely to be unarmed. so this is an issue that impacts america in general but especially impacts black americans n terms of what's going on behind the scenes, we analyzed the data and match it up with some of the policies and practices of those police departments that are involved in those incidents. and what we found was that there are a set of policies that can be effective solutions to dramatically reduce police shootings and other use of force. and some departments are starting to implement the policies. but most have not. so this crisis is a systemic crisis because there are systemic issues that allow

police to use violence in the ways that many of us have seen in video after video with no accountability. and we need a systemic solution to prevent them from doing that. >> you had a really great thread on twitter about places where they have put changes into place. i wonder when you look at those, what has been effective and what is scaleable at a national level? >> so one of the most important things that we have found is that the use of force standards of the local police department matter a great deal. so nationwide, only -- we looked at 100 largest police departments in the country. only 2 of those 100 police departments had policies that banned officers from using choke holds and other neck restraints. like strangle holds. that was the tactic that was used against george floyd to kill him in minneapolis. and, yet, you know, small proportion of police departments even ban those tactics. but the ones that do have substantially lower rates of killings by police.

similarly, policies requiring officers to use deescalation, requiring them to use deadly force whenever pos bribl using deadly force, sounds like common sense. only 42 of the 100 largest cities have that policy in place. only four of the 50 states have that in state law. these are common sense policies. there should be no opposition to implementing and the majority of police departments and states have yet to implement the standards. what we need to know is nationwide 7% all of excessive force complaints resulted in officer being disciplined. which means in 93% of the cases where officers are reported excessive force, they're not disciplined. they remain on the force racking up the records of misconduct.

we have to have systems of accountability and empowered community that can effectively investigate and discipline officers for misconduct as well as criminal justice system that will effectively prosecute those officers for breaking the law. >> what impact does that have on the relationship between the police and community? >> we know this isn't a problem that is limited to minneapolis. that across the country there are many cities that are policed by overwhelmingly white and male police forces. that being said, i do want to focus on what the research and the evidence shows are the most effective lugss. there is not a the lot of research that require officers to be from a particular city will dramatically change the demographics of the police force or the likelihood that officers will use force. rather, it is those use of force standards, clear requirements

banning officers from using things like choke holds and strangle holds, banning officers from shooting at moving vehicles, requiring officers to use every alternative to deadly force. those are the things that can really matter as well as a strengthened accountability system that can hold them accountable and enforce the standards. the. >> samuel, thank you so much. >> absolutely. coming up, we'll take you to philadelphia where they are bracing for another day of protests. will we'll show you how the police handled violence overnight. that's next. at philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. the recipe we invented over 145 years ago and me...the world's best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection. puberty means personal space. so sports clothes sit around growing odors. that's why we graduated to tide pods sport. finally something more powerful than the funk. tide sport removes even week-old sweat odor.

people or so and we've been here for a few minutes now. and for the most part, it's been relatively calm and peaceful. we spoke with some officials and they said that they have been here for about 2 1/2 hours. we had a chance to speak with someone in the crowd. take a listen. >> because of everything that's going on, what happened to george floyd is not right. we need justice. what happened to my brother in wisconsin. that's just not right. there needs to be something done about that. they go about hurting people. the police need to be held acheir actions. >> and alicia, we are getting a sense of community out here. they are in solidarity with

what's happened as far as the violence with george floyd. but this he don't condone the violence that they have seen throughout their community. and speaking of the violence, we have some officers on stand by. this is dilworth park. you might notice the riot gear that is also standing by. so we have seen officers throughout the city just making sure that people are safe, that there isn't any issues and we haven't seen that so far. however, about 15 minutes from where we are, we are getting some reports of vandalism and looting. but for the most part here in the city, we are not seeing any major issues, however, about a few blocks away is center city and the mayor said that that park is locked down for the potential of unrest and protest later on tonight. alicia? >> all right. kathy, thank you. up next, we'll take you back to where this all began. i'll talk to minnesota senator tina smith about the violence in

asking is how does your state, how does this country move forward? >> thank you. i'm so glad to be with you. this is such a poignant and sad moment for my state but it's for the whole country. earlier this morning i went out to 38th and chicago where george floyd was murdered and was there in that community with the people that were gathered there. i also was just up on the north side very briefly of minnesota, minneapolis to see what's happening and i think people are striving and seeking for a sense of community and they are asking, as well they should, where do we go from here? what is next? i'm hoping we have peaceful night tonight. i'm sure in minneapolis we have hundreds and hundreds of people that are peacefully protesting. as we move forward, we have to talk about the accountability we need and the systemic change that we need. not only in the way we police

ourselves but how do we address these fundamental inequities that have been laid bear over many decades but particularly over these last few months with covid. >> i'm glad you brought up systemic change. earlier on msnbc political commentator called on you to take the lead on this. take a listen. >> i want to officers arrested but i also want tina smith and amy klobuchar talk about low lowering the standard to bring federal zifrl rights cases against the law enforcement officers. i want them to talk about some specific policy initiative, some racial specific policy initiatives because we have race specific problems in this country. >> are you ready to throw your weight behind any of those policy proposals? >> i am ready and completely committed to work on this issue of systemic change that is so necessary.

i once was the chief of staff for the mayor of minneapolis. i understand these challenges that we have in minneapolis police department and police departments all across the country. we need to think about accountability and around the policy and practices around use of force and how in departments like minneapolis and other departments around the country we have a culture and a system that's around racial bias and oppression that is damaging the relationship and its killing people. to my mind, we really need to work on those two things. i have done work on both of those things. here is just one example. we were talking a moment ago about the need for increased accountability. i think that what kamala harass and tammy duckworth are proposing around allowing states to establish an independent prosecutor when we have uses of extreme force and deadly violence by police officers that we ought to be doing that. we have to have more of an independent prosecutorial effort

when it comes to holding police and police departments accountable. there's much more we need to do. that's one thing i strongly support. >> all right. senator smith, thank you. >> thank you so much. that wraps it up for this hour. joshua johnson takes over at top of our hour. how about no no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card.
