we heard from the chief of police in detroit, who has an overwhelmingly african-american police force and community. both of you are writers, scholars who think and studied a lot of these larger issues previrus. so rich, what do you take from this? what needs to be done? >> well, ari, sometimes we hear these dramatic statistics about how black and brown people are dying, but we should go back sooner and look at per capita in terms of health care access, in terms of ventilators. so we didn't just suddenly get to these deaths. there's a long history and long context of the disparity of resources. the flip side of segregation isn't just black and brown people. it's what do white communities look like. how can they marshall local, state, and federal resources to advantage themselves in terms of the health care that they get, the better hospitals, the better schools, the better housing that we have seen to impact this virus. >> uh-huh. and britney, there's many ways to measure it. one of the difficulties during this time, we showed "the new york times" reported that the numbers only take y

reporter: in a 2016 pew study, 33% of blacks said police do a good or excellent job of using the right amount of force in each encounter. white americans on the other hand believed that happened 75% of the time. >> study policing of black communities, of violence against black americans committed by the police, then you know this is part of a very long history and that these are not unrelated.

americans think police are pub live servants who work for them, are paid for by them. to gilani's years or the last 1. >> it is never been the experience of black americans that the police forceed for us. the police force as jelani pointed out was derived as a means of social control of black americans, continues to operate as a means of social control. black americans were policed the way white americans would be, they would not be in the streets now. i also think there is a sense on behalf of many police officers, not all, but many police officers, that they don't in fact work for black americans. there i don't think the way that black americans see police as agents of the state supposed to be providing a service is the way that many police and politicians who deploy police in the black neighborhoods see them. >> jelani, the fact is that in some of these places, we look at ferguson, missouri, there were no black police. is part of this policing or is this policy? >> it is both. so we had, if you go back the early part of the 20th century, there were always investigations trying to figure out why you had upridings, one thing they said they needed to diversify the police depa

congresswoman omar, you come to this country as an immigrant, i think about what police forces look like around the world, when the americans look at police forces and other countries that we, you know, consider sending monitors to for their elections, et cetera, you know, and then you look at our police force, acting against american citizens, and you don't see as much difference as you want to see, put it that way. talk a little bit about the need for the united states to live up to, you know, the values that we're putting forward, when you see police behaving in this way, it doesn't look like we are. >> yeah, thank you, joy. i just wanted to make sure we understood that budgeting and resource allocation is a way that we also make a statement about our values. so when we're talking about policing, it is in same process that we need to engage in the way that we engage with defense funding. we have to try to make sure that the resources that we are allocating are not resources that we are taking away that could go to leveling social and economic inequalities. we also, i think, really need to uplift the thought that senator

before these protests and this incident in particular relations between the minneapolis police force and african-americans in the city what good why is that. well minneapolis has a sizable african-american community here and population and let me stop again to the side if you look at the state trooper c.n.n. if you could if you would to look at the police department you don't know many african-american police officers and all those guys are all white now having said that of course that doesn't necessarily mean that there is racism at play here but deeply historically and currently deeply rooted anger here of the african-american folks against the police against the white police for what happened to mr floyd and this is not going to lead off and it is not going to be with just a statement from the governor or the mayor saying they're doing a great investigation now and they need their time people who want to see actions they actually want to see an arrest of those 4 officers who were responsible for what we saw all in this video what happened to mr floyd and they're saying violent violent protests even loo

of this horrible incident there is a lot of rage still in this community between police force on one hand african-american community on the other hand predominantly but of course having said that note there is plenty of white people there's plenty of asian americans there's plenty of. latino community. represented here who go through similar experiences. of discrimination off of racism and. there they are together in this and they're also together traumatized. stiffened just to paint the picture you doing an incredible job describing what you've seen speaking to the protest organizer who was incredibly calm and i think you said at the time you commended him on how calm he was and also how calm the crowd was with the truck driver but if we can just go back to the moment when we joined you and police entering the same. because i think it speaks to. the tension in the airway you must be that when they were trying to clear the road the 1st thing they did is not to ask questions but i was spying and we could see it sprang pepper spray out of the window of a moving police cars to clear the road and to way you w

american history. using the power of our intelligence services and the fbi, our police forces, and the fisa courts to pie-american. it is against e everything we stand for as americans. and the trump campaign knew, found out about it, we knew it, and during the transition, look, i was there the day that james comey came -- well, the three of them, the three horsemen came into trump tower. and i spoke to james comey that day. it is a memorable day when he dropped that fake russian dossier, the beginning of this. this is the a disgusting mess that we have to get to the bottom of, and it cannot be swept under the rug. elizabeth: all right. so that, after that meeting ehsomehow the steele dossier ges leaked to buzzfeed news, you know? and then it was katie bar the door. one of the earliest leaks, and the media went along with it, the dnc democrats, the hillary campaign funded the steele dossier, fusion gps is. they sit down with yahoo! news and then the fbi uses that story to get a fisa warrant wiretapped to do surveillance on the trump campaign officials. so we've got circular there. do you see how the fbi

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

american history sails to a new temporary home. what forced the move after two decades in the same spot? no justice, no peace, prosecute the police. >> protesters voice their anger over the death of an african american man during a violent now to our original series, project home, and a battle over who deserves affordable housing in berk hi. >>> the university is grappling with building student housing that would permanently destroy twelve rent controlled units. we take a look at the that's ditch effort to preserve this affordable housing. >> in a sea of brick that marks the grandiosity of -- tenants fighting to keep their heads above water. >> i think theo, myself, and all the neighbors were in utter shock. >> on april 20th in the midst of this global pandemic, kim and her husband theo received this letter informing them they might have to move. which would mean giving up their rent controlled apartment that goes for less than $1,000 a month. >> i really couldn't believe it. >> it's distressing. there's a -- i can't think of a more inappropriate time to do a preeviction notice during a pandemic. when you don't know where you're

very good point about this huge divide between the african-american community in many cities across the united states and the state police forces so let's just take it down to the grassroots level and what can one community leaders do to help calm the situation how can they help to mediate between the community and the police to build trust and build confidence again. well you know what activists and and you know many academics and other community organizers have been saying for decades is a community form of accountability a community advisory board an oversight board where police are not given free rein to basically make all the decisions about whether or not their behavior is acceptable and that there is a legitimate and sustained of punishment and follow through for their for their misbehavior so a whole assessment has to go on where the culture of the police force has to be interrogated and transformed and communities have been asking for this at minimally since the 1950 s. so this is not a new request it's something that many police forces a reject and fight against but the other thing that has to happen is that we have t

reminds you of eric gardner in new york, a non-violent crime, yet met by the police with excessive lethal force on another black american. >> rodney, we're not going to keep showing that video over and over, rodney. but i assume you have seen the video. how did you find out what had happened to your brother? >> hmm, facebook. i went there early in the morning, 6:00 in the morning. i seen the video online, and, you know, i was just in thoughts, just couldn't -- i knew it was him immediately. i know my brother. i'm like, that's not him. i know he's not no violent person like that. it just, it just took me. >> i understand it's a big family, rodney and shareeduh, how is the family holding up? how are you guys doing? >> i think we're doing about as well as you can expect. we've gone through waves of emotions, but we are a family of believers and we are a strong, big, close knit family so we're supporting each other through this. and then we have extended family. we're doing the best that we can. this is just the second day in for us. so we just really literally have to take it moment by moment. >> rodney, i know george had

minneapolis police station, the department was forced to abandon, as three days of violent protests spread to nearby st. paul minnesota. this comes after the death of george floyd, an african- american man who was handcuffed by police, who pleaded for being able to breathe. as a white police officer held his knee on his neck. the protesters want to see the four police officers involved with the arrest, charged with murder. city leaders are pleading for peace. >> you have every absolute right to be angry, to be upset, to be mad, to express your anger. however, you have no right to perpetrate violence, and harm >> more than five members were called to protect people and property, it will also be having our departments respond to calls. >>> president trump on twitter is reacting to the protests, and called the protesters, the violent protesters thugs. he said they are dishonoring the memory of george floyd, and i won't let that happen. just spoke to governor tim walz, and told him that the military is with him all the way. any difficulty and we will assume control. but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. >> not long after that tweet twitter flagged the presidents tweets, cla

would disagree and say, if you look at how the american police that have been arming themselves, looking like paratroopers, they use big guns and big forcey? they are not doing that. they are protecting themselves and they look like they are armed, but they are being beaten up, they are dragging police officers through the streets of chicago, you can look at the video tape yourself, they are not fighting back because they are being very careful not to fight back. a lot of people would say, this is a mistake, you are opening up a pandora's box of telling professional looters and rioters, go to the city where there is racial tension and say, have it your way with the city. look at the city is being pulled apart. chicago, los angeles, new york, atlanta, they are run by liberal mayors. they are telling the police force to stand out, protect yourselves sure, but stand out. when you tell them to do that it gives them an open invitation to looters to go out and destroy businesses. invitation to looters to go out and destroy businesseslj invitation to looters to go out and destroy businesses. i am afraid we will have to leave it there, thank you

they seem like some of these people are the dregs of american society who actually end up joining the police forces i hate to say it. >> all right. professor mayes, i'll pause the conversation there. joshua johnson, i want to pause it there. we have former vice president joe biden standing by live from wilmington. i want to bring in my nbc news colleague craig melvin who has got this interview with the former vice president. craig, i hand the baton to you. >> hey, chuck. thank you so much. chuck, stand by if you can. i think we've got the vice president ready for us in wilmington. >> you do. i can hear you, craig. thank you. >> good evening to you. thank you so much for your time, sir. let's just start with the news of the day. of course as you know, the officer who had his knee on george floyd's neck for almost nine minutes charged with third-degree murder, charged with manslaughter, of floyd's family, indicating that they would have preferred a first-degree murder charge. do you think that justice has been served? >> well, it is not finished yet. we'll see what happens. look, i'm not going to mak

police force to just hold. the underline nearer to it some call it a myth of american foreign policy is the country's exceptional position on the world stage this is the mark partisan consensus alive or reality is very different the global pandemic has demonstrated the us should focus on its own exceptionally problem. this is the one business show you can't afford to miss i'm sorry mom to say ok in washington coming up the u.s. treasury department says it will need to borrow nearly 3 trillion dollars in just a few months raising questions about what this could mean long term and a number of troops lined the cost of globe are facing criminal investigation for prosecutors claim money set fail without fully disclosing the risk involved we have a pack show for you today to let go and dive right it.

this is hurtful for all americans in minneapolis, not just those of color. under hertz the police forces across the country, too, because this is our focus now. there are so many of you -- and i say you because you served in that regard, too -- you do a great job. what would you say to those officers today, cedric? >> what i would say to the good offices out there, the officers who are going out there every day doing their very best to serve, building relationships, putting their lives on the line, doing the job the way they were trained to do it and doing it constitutionally, keep your heads up. the community needs you now more than ever. what i would say to those that are not doing it the right way, as we saw on this video, if you are going outside your bounds, don't do that to your agency. don't do that to the profession. because now, in light of what we've just seen so tragically happen, harris, now those police officers who are out there trying to do their job, it makes it very difficult for them to do so. and it's unfair to them. let me say this, as well, too. when we saw that knee
