we are gonna involve this thing over the next year. that's it for me. thanks for watching. ks for watching. don't forget the velshi is available on a podcast. listen on the go at anytime. i wear that mask when i do the podcast. subscriber list for free wherever you get your podcasts. where you are. lindsey reiser picks up the coverage right now. ight now good morning, welcome. i am lindsey reiser in new york. we are following breaking news overnight of protests happening across america. that is following the release of this -- an encounter with man finish please resolve it in the death of a 29 year old black man. it all began with a police stop. that suspicious of reckless driving. he was not home for dinner during his breakout work.

we are playing a portion of the video that the memphis police department played. we need to warn you that it is difficult to watch. >> i didn't do anything. >> turn around. >> all right. all right. >> don't do that. [screaming] >> get on the ground. >> i am on the ground. >> leighton, lay down. >> i will tase you. get on the ground. >> stop, all right, okay. >> okay. >> put your hands behind your back. >> you guys are really doing a lot right now. i am just trying to go home. >> i am on the ground. >> lay on your stomach.

>> i am. >> stop, i am not doing anything. >> that is when they gave chase. they eventually caught up to hanley. attorney described what happened next. three minutes of unadulterated, unabashed, nonstop beating. it is being compared to the 1991 video of los angeles police officers beating rodney king. you can hear his last words. again, all of the footage is disturbing. >> watch out. >> mom! mom! >> tyre nichols died in the hospital three days later. he was a son, a father to a

four year old boy, he was a man who enjoyed sunsets and skateboarding. he is now dead. the five police officers who stopped him were fired. they were charged with second degree murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated kidnapping. . last night, two deputies were relieved of duty pending investigation following the revelation that they are involved with the traffic stop. the police department says that there is no proof that nichols was driving recklessly. to me now from memphis is antonio. you were there last night. what happened? what is the mood this morning? >> good morning. last night, people came together in support of tyre nichols and his family. they were out on the bridge not too far from where i am right now. there was a lot of talk in the days leading up to this moment. there is the fears that memphis would burn. that is not what we saw. people were there supporting each other. it was very often quiet and solemn.

people were grieving and initial shock. you could see crews of people huddled. air the connect phones and watching some video themselves. they're deciding whether or not they can really process it. it was really a solemn moment for the community to come together. they are respecting the families wishes. that is what they wanted. they want people to remember tyree's life. you know, it reminds me of the conversation that i had earlier yesterday with the shelby county mayor. he was an african-american man. he had interactions with the police. added time when other people were warning that things might get bad here, he said he had complete faith in the people of meant this. you had respect for their grief. his predictions of what was going to happen that night ended up being spot on. i think what we are going to hear now today is that people are really taking a closer look now we have seen the footage here. the five officers are in the

scorpion unit. there is some of what we have seen happen towards the end of this. you didn't play it there. for anyone who has not watched this video yet, there is a period where the officers dragged his body. they slump him up against a car. it is very clear that he needs for data sustenance. the minutes just stretch on. 20 minutes or so. the minutes feel like they go on forever. it takes that long for aid to be brought to him. i think that you're gonna hear people ask additional questions. these people did not act more quickly. >> thank you. >> joining me right now is ben. he is a civil rights attorney was representing the family of tyre nichols. >> how is the family doing this morning? >> you know, they are doing the best that they can under these tragic circumstances. they continue to ask for prayer

and for everybody to be nonviolent in their protest. >> did you watch the release of the video with the rest of the country last night? it is my understanding that you had already seen it. correct me if i'm wrong. it is also some very traumatic video. how does the family feel about this being in public? >> the family wanted to have the video shown to the public because they thought that it was important that everybody could see what happened to tyree what killed him. they thought about the larger issue related to the implicit bias and systemic police culture that often has brutality. it is against brock black and brown people. that's what i want people to see the video. i saw the video again. i think that it is appalling,

heinous, deplorable. you can go through the whole alphabet of adjectives. you get to the end. i think that is the most important. this was so on necessary how they killed tyre nichols. they could've easily de-escalated it. he never escalated. that's what shows humanity and all of this. they are cursing at him, punching, kicking him. he is still saying, well, what did i do? i just want to go home. he calls out for his mother at the end. >> yeah. in fact, he's on the ground. these police officers are telling him to get on the ground. he's on the ground. he is complying. i want to ask you hear about other people on the scene as well. we know that two deputies barely above their duties for their involvement of the traffic stop. that is pending an investigation. antonio also pointed to the

fact that it took nearly 25 minutes for any kind of aid to be rendered. what other accountability are you looking for here as well. >> we are looking for full accountability. he is handcuffed. they put him against a car. his body falls to the right. after a minute, they come up. his body falls through left. after another minute, they pick him up. he keeps sprawling, moaning. he's on the ground. the two fire department officials come on the scene. they don't render aid to him. that is something that we saw last night. social media quickly picked up on it. there was a white police officer. he had the first interaction with tyree.

he was tasing him. nobody mentioned him. the question, why was he not terminated also? >> i want to play some sound from the officers after the encounter. we will get your thoughts. >> they were going for my gun as well. >> yeah. >> back pocket, wallet. >> nowhere in the footage does it show minister nichols trying to grab oregon. is that your same interpretation here what we saw? do you think that it could be possible that officers are trying to manufacture some sort of defense? >> absolutely. that is the conclusion. he was never trying to grab for those officers guns. they are trying to conspire to

justify the brutal killing of this unarmed young man. if you hear the audio, they try to conspire that he was driving recklessly. they say that he was driving down the wrong way of traffic. lindsey, if that was a case, don't you think we would have witnesses out here saying he was driving the wrong way? they are trying to make it up. there is the white officer. he is with the supervisor at the first interaction with kyrie. he lives -- you can hear him say on the microphone, hey, when they catch him, i hope they stop him. that is the mentality. >> unbelievable. last night with chris hayes, you said the people have been coming for where. they say they have been complaining about the scorpion unit of which many of these officers were a part of. have you learn anything about

the complaints? >> yeah this, we have had two gentlemen now come and tell us that they were attacked by the organized crime unit. one of the gentlemen said that it happened four or five days before tyre was attacked. he said that he was simply going to get pizza. all of a sudden, he was at a stop sign. they come up and grab him out of the car. they are cursing at him. there is all of this stuff that they are saying. they say they put a gun to his head. think of that he survived the pleas confrontation. he said that he told twice to the members of the police department. he was trying to make complaints against these officers.

nobody ever called him back. had they called him back, we believe that maybe, just maybe, tyre nichols might be alive today. >> we know that the doj is investigating right now. what does justice look like in terms of that investigation? have you heard anything from any other entities or any other potential charges? for example, there was the officer that you mention that was there. possibly the supervisor. he may have taser tyre. have you heard anything about more charges to come? >> the district attorney says they are still investigating. there may be some additional charges. the police chief also said that there may be additional charges. i want to say, i want to be clear about this, we saw these five black officers swiftly brought to justice. they were terminated and

charged. there is the blueprint going forward. we have these police shootings. there are the unjustified killings of black people. they've been far too many of these videos. just as heinous. think of alton sterling. think of eric garland in new york. think of d.j. bradford and alabama. think about oklahoma. all of those videos. there is the policy and criminal act. sometimes a year, sometimes two years. they sweep it under the rug where nobody remembers existed on this earth. we are going to memphis. the blueprint -- the community needs to see the swift action.

this is unjust. we need to see swift justice and swift action in those instances also. >> it's or anything of what you want to say? >> this is institutional please culture. it does not matter if the police are black, hispanic, or white. there is some innuendo, some on written rules. there is a person of a particular ethnicity. you can engage in excessive force against him. we need to use this opportunity to have this conversation. it is this culture that killed tyre nichols just as much as the police officers on the

memphis police department. if we don't do something about this culture, we will continue to how obvious tragic killings of innocent and on our people. they are taken from this earth far too soon. it is unnecessary. >> thank you for your time. catch him today. he joins the reverend and the parents of the victim. that is tonight on politicsnation. it is 5 pm eastern on msnbc. stay with us. we continue our coverage of tyre nichols. his death is raising more questions about police culture in the u.s.. he u.s..

of five memphis police officers. it is raising questions about the culture of police officers. black americans are killed by police more than white americans. joining me right now is the director of the black alliance. there is the president of the color of change. mark, we are gonna play some of the video again of this encounter. again, a warning to everybody that this is disturbing. mark, we have top for the release of the video, we are talking now after. what is the reaction to what you saw?

>> it is disturbing. it is sadistic. it was a public lynching. nothing short of that. that is how it should be described articulated. it was a manifestation of what others have been speaking about it. there is the toxic please culture. in many ways, it subsumes the individual police officer culture. political opinions, believes. it replaces those individuals experiences with this determined desire to fit in and be part of something that is powerful. perhaps too powerful. it is a justification for moving away from the current policing model. that deals and focuses on arrests, apprehensions, and

incarceration. we need to go more towards a public safety model that would have less encounters of traffic stops and these current of interactions that often turned fatal. a public safety model would incorporate social sciences and include mental health services. it deals with the economic oppression that helps criminality. as opposed to run, catch, and incarcerate method of policing that we have right now. >> i want to play something that the daughter of king had to say. >> i am past angry. i am passed upset. i am sick. my stomach hurt watching that. it seems like there is no change except for hashtags and videos. >> she was seven when it happened to her dad. how tragic is it that we are talking about is happening to

another person? >> it is happening all the time. sometimes we are talking about it because we have the video. so much of the time, we don't have video or visuals. there is the institution that consistently lies and consistently produces this. we watch on video as we were trying to construct lies. this is happening time and time again. this was not the first time that these officers did this. this was part of the incentive structure inside of this police department around the country. the thing here is that we are constantly gaslit about the behaviors of police. there is the interest they haven't actually solving this problem in addressing the problem. even what we are hearing now is the firing. there is the prosecution and the indictment. there is the work that the district attorney is doing. all of that as a result of

electing new district attorneys, creating new narratives. but we don't have the conversation or energy around the deep changes. we saw the george floyd act. it is the compromised. it didn't get to the things we needed. we saw that it couldn't get through the house to the presidents task. what we recognize is the work that continues that hasse to be done to move beyond conversations about hope and aspirations to real structural change. we have released a vision for public safety that goes beyond simple reforms. it talks about the investments that need to happen inside of communities. we were ignorant a petition right now to me we'll demands around the traffic stop that we see around the country. it leads to these type of things.

we know what driving while black looks like. we understand what has to be done. we have to move from temporary vigils to ongoing visual's. we have to move to ongoing power if we want to make the type of change that communities deserve. that is at the level that this problem requires. >> from every single aspect of these encounters, from the initial stop -- it only escalated from there. what did i do? he was on the ground. he runs away. presumably because he fears for his life. we saw the unabashed beating. was there any proper protocol followed from the get-go here?

>> it doesn't appear that there was any proper political followed. it also appears that each and every individual and city official, each officer there failed miserably at just having some human decency. nobody intervened, nobody stop their colleagues who were so -- they got exhausted from beating him. nobody intervened. not one of those professional police officers had enough humanity within them to stop their colleague. even if it was for self preservation to avoid getting in further difficulty or complication. that indicates a larger problem. if there were to be an in-depth investigation into this particular unit, and their units like this across the nation under different names and different departments, if there were an investigation, a

deeper investigation, a deeper dive, you would find similar violations that have occurred countless people. there is no way that this is a singular incident gave in the deviancy of what we witnessed. >> mark and rashad, thank you. still to come, this is what the white house is saying about the death of tyre nichols. plus, the brutal attack on nancy pelosi's husband. there's reaction to the release of that video. that is the next. next and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv subway keeps upping their game with the subway series. an all-star menu of delicious subs. there's the philly, the monster, the boss. if i hadn't seen it in person, i wouldn't have believed it. eating is believing steph. the subway series. try subway's tastiest menu upgrade yet. how do i do it all? the subway series. with a little help.

body cam footage showing a brutal piece beating of tyre nichols, president biden spoke with his parents by phone to offer condolences. here is the president speaking about that yesterday. >> i spoke with his mother. i expressed my condolences. i told her that i was gonna be making a case to congress.

we should get this under control. i can only do so much with the executive orders. >> joining me right now is monica. monica, what can you tell us about the white house response? -- >> this is something that the white house has been tracking very closely the last couple of days. the president and the first lady put out a lengthy statement before the release of the video. last night, once the president had an opportunity to actually watch the footage, he released another lane the statement. he said that he was deeply pained to watch it. he then added that it was another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma. there is the pain and exhaustion that black and brown americans experienced every single day. in that statement, the president did reiterate that he had spoken to the nichols family earlier in the day. he was able to call mr. nichols mother and stepfather. he told them that he does want

to see if there can be progress and meaningful movement on police reform in capitol hill. that is something that this president has been fighting for for the last couple of years without enough to show for it. there were some executive actions. this is something that the president and vice president are calling for. it is a gridlock washington and divided congress. that could be very difficult. -- there were massive and violent protests. that is something that the president said he was concerned about. largely, it is mostly peaceful. that was really more about preparation instead of having to implement any of those plans. as for the next steps, the president says that he will like to see a swift, clear, fast, and transparent investigation. this is a rule we have seen

this president take time and time again. in his parting words to the nichols family, we understand that he tried to communicate to them that he understands what it is like to lose a beloved member of your family. he said that he hopes that his memory will be able to bring a smile before it brings a tear. >> thank you. within the last 24 hours, a mountain of evidence has been released in last year's horrific attack paul pelosi. he is the husband of former speaker, nancy pelosi. there is body cam footage of police arriving at the san francisco home. they video we are showing you, the attack is graphic. it is difficult to watch. >> hi, how are you doing? >> how are you? >> what is going on? >> good. >> hi. >> hello. >> drop the hammer. >> hey, hey. >> what is going on?

>> that is important to note here. paul pelosi survived the attack. yesterday, nancy pelosi says he still has a long road to recovery. joining me right now is a reporter on capitol hill. julie, there is the release of the 9-1-1 call. what can you tell us about those? >> lindsey, look at that video, it is so disturbing and so graphic. you have to remember that this is not just nancy pelosi's house been. this is an 82-year-old man that was hit by a hammer over his head. he was critically injured. he was in the hospital for six days. i saw him here in the capital a few times wearing a hat to cover any scars and damage on his head. a glove to cover his hand. in those moments, in addition to the, you also heard portions of the 9-1-1 call that ball pelosi placed. he spoke in code. take a listen to a very small part of that 9-1-1 call with operators. the soft backed was standing right over him.

>> this gentleman just came into the house. he wants to weigh here for my wife to come home. >> do you know who the person is? >> no, i don't know who he is. he's telling me not to do anything. >> at one point, the attacker got angry, frustrated. paul pelosi had to tell the operator that he wants to hang up now. he also asked for capitol police to try and get the operator to realize that he was in manger. only he shared with his wife fizzed typically staff with capitol police officers. pelosi was in washington at the time. her husband was by himself in the middle of the night. >> hard to listen to. he is trying to convey that he is an immediate danger. it does not appear like he was being received. thank you. joining me right now to continue this conversation, the

democratic strategist and the former congressman. he is also an msnbc political analyst. there were prominent gop lawmakers and conservative pundits. they spread conspiracy conspiracy theories about evidence. how damaging was that? >> extremely damaging. we have in america now where folks just listen unconvincingly type of media that agrees with and coastlines with the inner belief they already hold. you have an entire -- they spread all kinds of lies and deceits. they suggested that mr. pelosi brought this on himself. he knew the person's. they were engaged in the relationship. there is the disaster of that. he completely looked the other way. there is the fact that an elderly man was attacked in his home by someone who was one of them. >> that is the whole point. it is the bait and switch. that is what they want to do. the democrats just bring this

on themselves. here is the thing, they should not be a partisan issue. this was an elderly man who was sleeping. the police had a tepid response to it. there is so much here that we should be talking about. the reality is that when there is no defamation, went right-wing media operate and spreads lies, it does cause harm. >> i want you to respond to what aisha said. talking about the fact that this video is yet another reminder here of the increase in political violence. >> yeah. that is right. there is a threat between those two topics. we live in a toxic political environment. we know that. we know threats against elected officials remain. you have members of congress who routinely would not have needed security. they now have security support as they come and go.

part of that environment is fed by complete ignorance and disinformation. you saw that a knee immediate hours and days. the right-wing media were reaching for further opportunities. it turned out to be false. just like most of those conspiracies often do. what do we do about it? we condemn the purveyors of disinformation and hate. we also need to examine why we have such a toxic environment where we are seeing an increase of threats against our political leaders. in many ways, it started with those very political leaders. they continue to amplify and use language. they say that their political opponent is the enemy. this politician is trying to take away your rights, your way of life. you will end up with no liberty in the united states of these politicians have their way. they are demonizing and making your politicians or enemy. that is what creates an environment where their lives are left valuable. it could be somebody who is unstable, somebody who is acting strictly out of hate or

out of political motivation. we will continue to see some sad and tragic incidents like this. >> i want to turn now to the tyre nichols case. we have seen bipartisan condemnation in the video. but we have not seen bipartisan agreement on what happens next. do you think that this will galvanize congress to pass some sort of reform? >> no. i don't. i say that sadly. i have sat here for over 20 years now. i am doing the work and supporting them. i am on the ground. i am trying to, in a variety of ways, be a part of the civil rights struggle. we want to deal with the hyper policing that has taken so many black lives. the rio dell is the politicians are going to politic. for most americans, you know, we should've done something about the fact that please really are josh able to go forth and do what they want to do with very little repercussion.

not much has changed in terms of policy and law. what i fear is that instead of this being galvanizing, now we are going to see even more divisiveness on capitol hill. bipartisan comments may come out. they say that the particular part of data was bad. let's make sure that we quickly jalen deal with the people who were the perpetrators. there are charges being processed. i believe that it is black officers. what will happen from a policy context? i am hoping that we don't get lost in debates about what should be done. there is a whole movement of people. live said that the first thing that we can do is investing more civilian responses to reduce crime. how do we have more -- we are not sending armed

officers. they don't require guns to people. they don't require people to be -- you know, it is not a matter of not knowing what to do. it is a matter of having the political will to do it. i watch congress go back and forth over and over again. i am hopeful that we can find other ways to hold congress accountable. >> okay. thank you. >> coming up, we are going to get back on the ground in memphis. protests took place last night after video footage of tyre nichols was beating by police. that was released. keep it here. ep it here i just switched to verizon business unlimited. it's just right for my little business. unlimited premium data. unlimited hotspot data.

during the traffic stop, officers pepper sprayed, kick, punch, and used a baton on him. 20 minutes elapsed before any kind of aid was rendered. he died the hospital three days later. five former memphis police officers have been charged in the death. we are joined with the latest. sam, what is happening on the ground? >> let's start with the protests. good morning. good to be with you. it is common in memphis. there were protests last night. a group of 100 or so protests went on interstate 55 here. they stopped traffic for a period of time. i cannot emphasize this enough, it was all peaceful. the protesters were holding up signs and chanting. a bull horn as well. they were telling police that the world is watching. all we wanted to do is protest peacefully. that is exactly what happened. there was no engagement with police. they maintained periphery there. it all ended well without any

destruction or damage. let's go to the video itself. the world right now is trying to absorb what they have just seen. it is a huge question. one of many. that is what proceeded the initial confrontation with nichols. this is in the words of cj davis, the memphis police chief. he came out and yanked him out of the car out the first meeting. he had him on the ground within a matter of seconds. blood drawn. why did that happen? you notice that the body camera footage only starts a minute or two before that happens. i am told from a council member that it is not automatic. the police officers have to activate the body cam. that is why there is no audio at first. and then we see that confrontation. he also pointed out that you only see a confirmation of videos. there were five police officers involved in the confrontation. as you saw, he was beaten. >> we have six responding officers and the five officers

involved. we only have body footage from two of them. the other ones didn't have their body cameras. that is a violation. >> the only possible explanation is that the city lost the body camera footage. he does not think that is very likely. i have been in touch with the city attorney. we are looking to get more clarification on this as the day goes on. >> okay, thank you. up next, more calls for gun reform. three mass shootings in california. stay with us. stay with us ults who undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include

>> i share your sentiment there, congressman. you tweeted in relation to the mass shootings that i saw that congress cannot sit by let this happen. we need to do something. what does that look like? >> what it looks like is for a national gun laws, similar to what california, the assault weapon ban has been in california for years. the first legislation was in 1988. it has been in place. there is a question about how the assault weapon was obtained in monterey park. nonetheless, we do have those good gun laws in california. but our neighbors don't. many of the other states have open carry laws. almost anybody can have a gone. we really need a national system here. . that allows law abiding -- to gone for every citizen in

the united states. it is out of control. it has to be put back under control. and national laws necessary. we did passes last year. there was the first gun safety law in 25 years. frankly, it wasn't an is not enough. >> congressman, how do you get colleagues across the aisle to agree on something? to your point, that legislation was the most significant in 30 years. many advocates of it was not enough. how do you work across the aisle to get something like this accomplished? >> i think that we need to hold ourselves accountable and responsible. i was asked this question earlier by whenever colleagues. i said that it was hopeless if we do not try. we have to put it on the floor of the house. we can do that for the rules. we need the assault weapons ban. we can force all of the members of congress to vote on it once a week, every week. either we support or do not support an assault weapons ban.

what we have been doing is avoiding the responsibilities that we had by not being forced to vote. yes or no on assault weapons. we can do that. we have to do that. and then, when the election comes around in next 18 months, there's our record. did we or did we not support an assault weapons ban? there may have been as many as 20 or 30 votes. >> congressman, we have to cut the conversation short today. thank you for joining us. i want to bring in frank. he is the father of jaime guttenberg. one of the students killed in the mass shooting at stoneman douglas high school in 2018. thank you for being with us. i want to hear your reaction to what the congressman said what your message is to lawmakers. >> you know, my message to lawmakers, first and foremost, stop lying about the issue. yesterday, jim jordan, a true waste of oxygen, he tweeted.

this was the very first. i wanted to read from his tweet. first, they came for your guns. that is what he tweeted. my daughter, february 14th, it will be five years since she was killed. five years ago, there were 300 million weapons in america, now there is over 400 million. he puts out a tweet like that. he must be called out for it. he and those like him or -- we now have 400 million messages in america. we have borders between states. there are states making it more likely that a dangerous person could make his handling weapon like this. carry it into a state that is doing everything they can to reduce gun violence. california has a lower gun violence per capita rate than

ohio. that is where jim jordan was that. people can grab their guns and cross borders. we need to deal with it. >> i have to be quick with it. you have a new book, american carnage. shattering the myth that fuel gun violence. what do you hope people get from this? >> the truth. i want people to understand that it doesn't need to be this way. we have spent far too long listening to live from politicians like jim jordan. there is gone lobbying that makes profit off of dead people. let's move forward the truth. let's fix this. >> frank, thank you for being with us. >> coming up, we are going to take you back to meant this. we have the latest after the city released the footage of the police beating death of tyre nichols. stay with. another hour of msnbc reports is next. port is next. ancestry made it really easy to learn about my family's history. finding military information, newspaper articles, how many people were living in the house and where it was,
