so it was then i asked again, well, where is breonna, i've been asking where is breonna. he said, well, ma'am, she's in the house. and then i knew -- i knew then what that meant. >> she was in the house all the time that they had you going back and forth. you know attorney krump, as we hear the pain of this mother and the back and forward and the coming, we're told the person that they allegedly were looking for was in custody at the time they came. they had the wrong address and the wrong person and the person was in custody. do you have any faith in the state attorney general saying he would be a special prosecutor here and what do you think of the mayor and police chief calling for the feds to come in? >> we are very concerned. we don't have much faith in the feds. we don't know about this attorney general because the information that they used to get this no-knock warrant was false information. the u.s. postal inspector said they never verified anything with his office. reverend al, when you think about how they shot these bullets into that apartment from everywhere,

no one has been held to account for breonna taylor's death. did not take her own life. it was your officers who pumped eight bullet sboos her body while she was laying in her bed. someone, you and your officers will have to pay for that and we are tired, sick and tired of our elected officials not taking accountability for what happens to our people. >> you know,en, you know, just in your reporting have there been any, you know, any statements from officials in louisville about that, about the loss of an essential worker? you would think that in the environment we're in now and kentucky has a ratcheting up number of cases. you know, there was a count in kentucky that's got the most increase in cases of covid-19. have there been any statements that you have been able to report on from officials in louisville on what it means to have lost an essential worker in this way? >> well, i think in the wake of the story that i did on -- officials in kentucky starting to speak up -- mayor fisher that came out after that story, also senator mitch mcconnel

>> well, i've talked to breonna's mom multiple times. any time i'm about to make a public announcement, i give her a call first so she has a heads up. louisville metro police department was one of the first in the country to implement body cameras. in this case, the narcotics team executing a warrant, sadly they did not have them on. that's the only time in five years that happened where we would definitely be better off in terms of body camera evidence. on monday, this past monday is when i made the announcement of that change. we're going to take those opportuniti opportunities. >> how are you going to deal with the union in terms of being able to -- the police union -- in terms of being age to question police in matters where there's questionable police behavior? how is the city going to be able to deal with the union's resistance to having police questioned like that? >> we'll do it to the fullest extent of the law that's valk o available to us, here in jefferson county and then we have a state law issue we need to contend with. we'l

i think people really wanted that after what happened to breonna, and just really this whole situation. >> all right. thank you both for joining us this hour. >>> in the next hour, the governor of minnesota will speak for the first time since last night's violence. we'll bring that to you live when it gets under way. >>> first, the impact of president's tweets calling the protesters "thugs." why that's resonating with people of the black lives matter movement. movement. my gums are irritated. i don't have to worry about that, do i? harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest. i but what i do count on...ts anis boost high protein...rs, and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair®. we've got the retinol that gives you results in one week. not just any retinol. accelerated retinol sa.

the governor shared a message from breonna's taylor was people to protest peacefully. was shot by police officers during a raid inside her home. taylor and her boyfriend thought their home was being broken into according to a lawsuit from her family. the incident is being vest g investigated by the fbi. all three officers involved are on administrative leave. i would like to bring in an investigative journalist in louisville, kentucky. tell us, what is the latest on this investigation? >> absolutely. so the investigative file from the police department here has been turned over the attorney general's office. there will still be some questions that come up, but in addition to that, as you mentioned, the fbi is also investigating this case as well. >> and do you have a sense of the core questions that are at the center of that investigation? >> really what a lot of this hinges on is did kenneth walker know that police were on the other side of the door. i mean, that is how this shooting really started, is, you know, kenneth walker is breonna's boyfriend, said that they d

what i can say this morning, the family of breonna taylor is working very hard to make sure we don'tagain. last night's events started as a very peaceful protest, but one where those out there were seeking justice. and actually it was was one of the most compliant protests with the cdc guidelines that we have seen. and then i believe that some other folks, very late, more than three hours in, came in and ultimately instigated and caused some actions that turned it into something that it should not have been. this morning, breonna taylor's mom reached out through their representatives and i have a statement from her, trying to hopefully give her voice not just in my state, and through our governor, but here to the country. she says breonna devoted her own life to saving other lives, to helping others, to making people smile and to bringing people together. the last thing she would want right now is any more violence. changes are being made, but it is not enough. we will not stop until there is truth, justice and accountability. her legacy will not be forgotten and it is because of all

breonna taylor was killed during a hail of gunfire after breonna taylor's boyfriend, who had a legal was a home invasion. police opened fire in that scene there in kentucky, and breonna taylor was killed. we saw protests in the streets of louisville. seven people, we understand, have been shot in louisville. that situation also still being monitored right there in kentucky. >> protesters and the mayor of minnesota echoing a lot of what the protesters are saying, which is these protesters, these demonstrators in the streets feel the system has failed them and this is a systemic issue rather than an isolated issue. >>> we want to talk about our other big story, of course, and that's the pandemic. there are more than 101,000 american deaths. cases of this virus are still rising in 17 states, including wisconsin, which hit a record high on thursday. >> new york city, once the epicenter of the virus, is targeting a phased reopening. hundreds of thousands are expected to return to work during the first phase in june. abc's megan tevrizian has more. >> reporter: this morning the cdc issuing

i want to talk quickly about breonna taylor. she was 26 years old. she was killed on march 13th when three police officers came into her apartment. they did not announce themes. they came into the apartment. there was a firefight. the 911 recording released today showed i thought there was a break-in. now there's -- the person they were looking for had already been detained. she was a medical worker. she was a 26-year-old nurse. she was the people that we count on in this pandemic. and it's what has brought people onto the streets in the last two nights. the other very important thing about louisville to know is that people are armed here. there are people with bats here. there are people with guns here on the streets. and last night there were seven people shot. so in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of a riot that was brought on by what seems to be a white police officer murdering an unarmed black man, there was also a mass shooting. so louisville like the rest of the country is scarred and is going through something deeply emotional, and pe

has been simmering following several weeks of incidents including the death of ahmaud arbery and breonna taylor and that doesn't even begin to name all of the others. eric gardner, trayvon martin. >> this is atlanta. a bit of the outrage expressed across the country. this is right outside of cnn world headquarters. vandalizing the cnn building. police car on fire. cnn's natasha chen with us now. natasha -- i can hear we havana ta -- have natasha. >> reporter: in talking to someone who was here with law enforcement overnight we understand people started to disperse about 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning but also moving to other parts of the city. i want to show you a little bit closer now just a warning there's profanity all over that wall on the cnn sign but you can see the protesters have used that wall and the sign as a canvas for all their complaints against the police, against the president, against the georgia governor and a lot of the streets that we can see and around the corner there's debris and glass. broken glass at the this building. so this is just one example of a lot of the rio

unfortunately, when breonna taylor was killed, the plainclothes police officers not wearing body camerasaudio footage of what exactly happened that night. we are going to change that in our community. 0k, thank you very much for speaking to us, barbara sexton smith. just so you know, we have moved the live pictures from atlanta back to boston. you can see outside boston police department. protests going on in cities from boston, atlanta, new york, washington, dc, as well as minneapolis. we are keeping right across those protests here on bbc world news. president trump says the united states will revoke hong kong's special trade privileges with the us, in an escalation of washington's confrontation with beijing. it's in response to china's decision to impose a new security law on the autonomous territory. he made the annoncement earlier. china's latest incursion, along with other recent developments that degraded the territory's freedoms, makes clear that hong kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous to warrant the special treatment that we have afforded the territory since the handover.

it's not just about ahmad aud arbery or breonna taylor. the fear in another two or three weeks we'll have nosh haanother tag. we'll go home and drink dirty water, we won't have access to broadband. all of these things layer for the powder keg. the president of the united states called the sons of and now we have the system and how doll we root out the system. >> i want to ask you, three of the other officers called out for them to be charged. christie lopez, a professor at georgetown law school wrote for "the washington post" an article talking about needing to create a culture in which police officers step in and prevent abuse. what do you see in terms of the need, obviously, for more peer intervention? why is that missing? >> well, christi, that's true of every profession. and obviously, you know, to bakari's point, police officers are armed instruments of the state. they have a right to take a life in defense of life and liberty and loss of limb. they have the right to do that. the question becomes, how is that done? is the use of force

the anger has been simmering after several incidents there was the death of ahmaud arbery and breonnalor. >> police officers knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. derek chauvin is facing charges of third degree murder, manslaughter as well. protesters feel that the other men should face charges as well. let's bring in legal analyst and attorney joey jackson. joey, i expect that you'll offer broader response to what we're seeing. but tell me about, as you get to that the third degree and manslaughter charge. there are some who say those aren't significant enough for chauvin, much less the other officers. the distinction of that third degree versus other potential charges. >> sure. i'd love to do that. victor, good morning to you. good morning to christi. before i do, though, i think your analysis is spot-on. i think there does need to be an antiseptic, i think this does speak to a broader issue. how many times have i had occasion to join you and to join christi, speaking about the very same thing. speaking about the distrust between police and the community. speaking about the nee

ben crump, you are also representing the family of breonna taylor, a 26-year-old aspiring nurse who was shot to death by police inside her own apartment. her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the louisville metro police department. the lawsuit details how police shot taylor at least eight times after they burst intnto her apartment, unannounced, with a search warrant. the man police were looking for did not live in taylor's apartment and was reportedly already detained by police when officers arrived at taylor's residence on the night of march 13. at the time of her killing, taylor had been working as an emergency medical tetechnician treating covid-19 patients. your final words? with senatotore dangerousthat these no knockck warrants i believe ae a constitutional - -- unconstitutiononal, but s senatr rand said they should be abolished because it is forereseeable that innocent, law-abiding citizens would be hurt orr killed and breonna one ands exhibit number we cannott forget aboutut black women, as i have been proclalaiming, if you ran with ahmaud inn the ahmaud arbery

in louisville, kentucky, hundreds of protesters gathered downtown demanding justice for breonna taylor, a 26-year-old aspiring nurse who was shot to death by police inside her own apartment in march. at least seven people were injured by gunfire that erupted as demonstrators surrounded a police vehicle. it's not known who fired the shots. the louisville's mayor said no police officers fired their weapons. on twitter, president trump attacked minneapolis's mayor, who called for the arrest of now-fired police officer derek chauauvin over the killing of georgege floyd. trump tweeted -- "i can't stand back & watch this happen to a great american city, minneapolis. a total lack of leadership. either the very weak radical left mayor, jacob frey, get his act together and bring the city under control, or i will send in the national guard & get the job done right. " in a follow-up tweet, trump attacked protesters as "thugs" and added "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." twitter responded by labeling trump's tweet with the warning -- "this tweet violated the twitter rules about glorif

>> reporhe l i investigation into the death of breonna taylor and pass it to commonwealth and federalfficials. >> both officers will have an opportunity to review the investigation and make any decisions they want to make from there. >> reporter: the 26-year-old was shot and killed march 13s when louisville police raided her home. the search warrant states authorities thought this man, jamarcus glover, was using taylor's apartment for his mailing address and to stash drugs and money. officers later discovered that glover had been arrested shortly before the raid. ben crump represents taylor's family. >> this was a completely unnecessary and unjustifiable killing of an innocent woman. these police officers botched the execution of a search warrant. >> reporter: attorneys say nothing illegal was found in taylor's home. they say when they busted through the door, taylor's boyfriend, kenneth walker, started shooting and injured an officer. hisam wker was prottime. >> h been licensed for a few years. he intended to protect his home from what he thought was a break-in. >> reporter: walker i

none of whom was breonna taylor.family has filed a lawsuit against the police department for excessive force and gross negligence. according to the suit, police arrived unannounced to taylor's home after midnight. her boyfriend, kenneth walker, who was with her at the time, says he thought someone was breaking into the apartment and fired a weapon he was licensed to own in self-defense hitting an officer in the leg. the lawsuit accuses the police of blindly returning fire, unloading 20 rounds into the apartment and killing taylor. this week the louisville police department citing the ongoing investigation declined to comment on the case, but at a news conference in march, they claimed that police had announced their presence and were immediately met by gunfire. today the mayor of louisville announced a public integrity investigation would begin into the shooting and that it will be sent to federal officials for review. kentucky's attorney general will examine the evidence and announce a course of action. this investi

there's breonna taylor, who was 26 years old, killed in kentucky with a no-knock warrant. right here on my wall, i have eric garner. this was in 2014, and he was gunned down. he was the first man on camera, black man on camera who said "i can't breathe." he was the first person we watched die and say that. here we are six years later and it's happening again almost on the anniversary. so it's definitely a buildup on countless events that not all aioh ese, a tured. thon youknow, when we zoomed in tight, i've seen people shaking hands. i've seen people waving, and that is -- that is very positive that that's what we're seeing here in the bay area. that is not the case across the country. but what do we each need to do? what can we do to have the tough conversations of addressing where that comes from that you would put a knee on a man's neck as he's saying "i can't breathe," and what leads to that, and what can stop it? >> kristen -- >> yeah, go ahead. >> let me try and make just one point. i believe you were talking about the photo that was captured, when we did a march for

the demonstrators were protesting the police shooting of 26-year-old breonna taylor in march. she was shot at least eight times in a drug raid as undercover police rushed her apartment overnight, believing it was a break-in, tail taylor's boyfriend kenneth walker started shooting, police fired back. the nine 11 call was released yesterday: >> reporter: though taylor was named in the search warrant, police found nothing illegal in the home. taylor was an e.m.t., a frontline worker helping respond to the coronavirus pandemic. her friends and family recently spoke out at this really. >> we're tired of fighting! i'm sick of it! we're sick of fighting! >> reporter: taylor's family is calling for the arrest of the put on administrative reassignment back in march. now, there are multiple investigations of in case ongoing, including by the f.b.i. there are more protests planned for this weekend across the country. norah. >> o'donnell: adriana diaz, thank you. the death of george floyd has prompted many of you to text us here at the "cbs evening news" t voice your concerns and share yo

when you think about breonna taylor, when you think about black women who are dying in mortality rates are higher because people don't believe their pain, that's a lot for people to deal with. who when you look at cooper, calling 911 to make a fall call there are is the pain and the rage that is actually justified that we see happening across the country. >> and, you know, do you think that the amy cooper verses, you know, thees bird watcher also named cooper michael cooper in new york city, do you think that's added to the anger? the potential that could have happened to him, what did happen in minneapolis, is this a compound reaction that we're seeing on the screen beside you? >> of course it is. christian cooper could have been definitely the next hash tag. and so if we missed the interconnectivity between what amy cooper did and what happened in these other cases, then we're missing the forest for the trees. so we can expect that people are going tore express their anger. what we've seen in new york city, i do want to make plain, is something that we're seeing across the nationha o

everybody coming together in this way i think showed the impact of the death of george floyd along with breonna taylor and all the others. >> yes. >> it seems like this is a turning point right now. >> hey, so are you now past that area? >> yeah. i took a step back just because at some point -- i was trying to continue to a live feed, but the signal died. so trying to get away to a place where i can actually hear and see better. >> kristen, we have proernts the move now, as you can see live. it looks like exiting the freeway en masse again. this is about the third, about the final third of the group that was there originally about 20 minutes ago. it looks like they are leaving the freeway, most of them now. >> they have jumped across the center divide and crossed to the northbound side, and it does appear to be that they are exiting the freeway and southbound traffic looks to be resuming there, dan. finally on -- cars are able to move again. the chp said out to get the protesters to leave in a safe manner, and it appears they have successfully done so. >> thus far, which is wonderful to see. we

breonna taylor's family claiming officers blindly fired more than 20 shots into her apartment more thanwo months ago. on march 13th three police officers entered her apartment while they were sleeping. police claim taylor's ex-boyfriend was shipping drugs to her apartment to avoid detection. >> this is not a woman who would sacrifice her life and her family's morals and values to sell drugs on a street. >> reporter: louisville police say the night of taylor's death the officers knocked several times and announced their presence before entering and when they did they were met by gunfire from walker, a licensed gun owner. defense attorneys for walker say he fired in self-defense claiming police did not announce themselves. they say walker thought the officers were breaking in. >> they did not identify themselves and that they were in plain clothes. >> reporter: and now the commonwealth attorney's office is calling for kentucky's attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor. >> it has been more than two months with no statement from the public -- to the public regarding this incident.

. >> because look at breonna taylor or so many other instances we've seen of african-american women being treated with violence and excessive force. so it's -- it's really fundamentally a problem of our society still bearing the vestiges and the realities every day of racial disparities and prejudice and that's what needs to be addressed. we need leadership, wolf, that is interested in our common humanity, in treating all americans as if they count and belong equally. not leadership like we have in the white house that's invoking the language of segregationists and talking sicking dogs and shooting peaceful protesters. this is a time when we need empathetic, rational, constructive leadership that seeks to bring us together, and deal finally seriously with the root causes of this racism and the root causes of our inequality. >> we haven't heard from president trump today, other than a couple tweets. one tweet going after the news media for fomenting in his words hatred and anarchy, another tweet, the american government will be labels anantifa. >> when he goes after journalists, which you

so, i truly believe everything that you outlined, michael, you forgot to name breonna taylor, no faultof your own, we've had so much trauma with people of color in the past years and decade in this country, i believe it's now time for have a female women of color. >> i didn't mean -- i was using the two of them as an example. you think that joe biden is now, what is the word, obligated to make a running mate a female, but female of color? >> my mom and her friends they're going to vote for joe biden. if it's amy klobuchar, whomever, elizabeth warren. but they're not going to be activated. they're not going to stand up in the chumps every sunday, encouraging and making sure. they're not going to be filling up the church vans with gas. they're not going to be talking to their club and aka sorority sisters making sure that their nephews are coming out and picking up their cousins at a gas station and bring them out. it's one thing to vote for one, but we have to activate that base. the only way you do that, for women of color. for far too long, the democratic party has ever said thank you

and the recent incidents of breonna taylor, her killing, the killing of ahmaud arbery have led to this as well. >> in atlanta we saw just a snapshot of the outrage across the country. protests outside our headquarters, they were chaotic, people vandalized the cnn headquarters, set cars on fire nearby. >> natasha chen is with us just outside of where we are right now. natasha, 20 states where we saw some type of organized response to what happened in minneapolis. >> reporter: right, victor. similar across cities a lot started out with an organized peaceful protest bust then took a turn and that's what happened here in atlanta. i want to bring you a little bit closer and warn you there's a lot of profanity on the walls there and show you that the police officers there, security have just now in the last ten minutes or so put up that barrier around the cnn sign, potentially hoping to deter other people from getting closer today. but what we can see from what is written on the sign and the walls there's a lot of anger towards government and towards police. outraged protesters took to the s

unrest they are not just over the events in minneapolis but the killing of breonna taylor, an unarmed black woman shot in her apartment by police executing a controversial no knock search warrant. today the mayor announced changes. i asked the fbi, u.s. attorney and the kentucky attorney general daniel cameron to investigate what happened on the night of march 13th, why it happened, and what needs to happen now so that justice can be served. >> gunfire also erupting in denver as protesters paint black lives matter at the state capital. smashed vehicles and blocked traffic. this suv retaliated hitting a protester before speeding away. in columbus, crowds pelt cops with smoke bombs and bottles. 70 arrested in new york city, including a woman wielding a knife and a man who hit an officer in the head with a garbage can. >> enough! >> in george floyd's hometown of houston, thousands marched peacefully today while in milwaukee a more strident message. >> every day. >> police around the country are bracing for more protests this weekend. chicago, denver, austin, texas, despite the prosecutio

breonna taylor was a nurse who got served a no knock warrant at the wrong house and got murdered. till andogle emmett look at his face. he was brutalized and thrown in the mississippi. think about jimmy lee jackson. think about medgar evers. think about the four little girls who were bombed in the 16th street baptist church. also think about the charleston massacre with dylann roof. walked into a church and killed nine people because of the color of their skin. and so -- [no audio] [sobbing] there is a question. there is a question about the value of black lives. host: bakari sellers, you go through the history, what has happened today, but also the history. i am wondering, is that what drove you to be involved in politics? how did that impact you? guest: growing up in this family, and i'm sorry, i get emotional. i get emotional. i think it is a unique burden that black folk in this country have to carry. we have to carry the burden of racism. why are you talking about issues of race? implying it is on our shoulders to rid our country of the scourge of racism. it is not. yeah, i w

i keep thinking about the death of breonna taylor. she was shot by police while she was asleep.bout the case out of georgia and people chased a man down and shot him. i think it's important for people to recognize this isn't the first time that we've done this. we've been doing this for decades. we've been saying that the actions that the police are taking, actions that are supported by both democrats and republicans are wrong. actions that are taken against white people and black people. let's not forget about the murder of daniel shaver a couple of years ago. these actions are wrong no matter your political perspective, no matter whether you're watching this on fox news later. it is wrong and i think that that's what i really want people to focus on right now. >> jane, i'm so glad to hear you say it. i want david to stand by. we'll take a break and come back with all of you and have much more in just a moment. apps are used everywhere... except work. why is that? is it because people love filling out forms? maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much vacatio

breonna taylor's family's pain. ahmaud arbery's. on and on and on. too many. this has to end.re so many challenges that we have in this country, mika. you know, we started this last couple of weeks focused on the ways in which covid, that's already disproportionately impacting black people, brown people, indigenous people, and also disproportionately impacting poor people, and how it's made this crisis, of something like 40 million americans, who are already low-wealth people, made them feel even more pain. so we decided to put together a special. this was actually the idea of bishop william barber, who came to msnbc. phil said yes, so we are doing this special called "poverty in the pandemic." we are going to take a look at poverty from the perspective people don't normally. poverty is not just black folks. it is also white rural people. it is also people who work at mcdonald's. people who have two, three fast food jobs. poverty is all around us. it is multi-racial. covid is making it worse. that is what we are doing. it is sunday night at 9:00 p.m. eastern. i hope everybody

and not just from the viral videos of the horrific killing of ahmaud arbery and george floyd and breonnaaylor. we have reached over 100,000 dooe deaths due to the coronavirus. had the united states government acted sooner, maybe 36,000 lives could have been spared. this is devastation that's gripped nation. joe biden is the most everyom pathetic person i know. he will continue to speak out. >> do you think he's going to address the nation? a lot of people are calling for some sort of presidential address from the white house and it doesn't seem to be we're going to get that tonight. do you think v.p. biden will speak to us? >> well, stephanie, right now vice president biden is out on the streets talking with folks, listening to people in w wilmington. perhaps you will hear from him today. i don't have anything new to update you on. this is top of the mind for him which is why he spent his time talking to mayors who have been dealing with this issue. >> what's his message right now to the country? you mentions the hundred thousands deaths. you mentioned the unrest because of george floyd'

brooklyn, atlanta, los angeles, louisville where they are protesting the killing of breonna taylor.ities not pictured, phoenix where tear gas was deployed overnight. denver. oakland. sacramento. san jose. the list goes on. >> some stories from the cities you are looking at. top left corner, louisville, kentucky, second night of protests. a reporter on scene was among those fired upon by police officers with what she believed were rubber bullets. the press coming under fire yet again. in atlanta, they raided some well-known malls including phipps plaza and lenox mall in the city, in buckhead in particular. the protests thereon goi ongoin quite some time. a very angry mayor went on tv and said, "go home," telling people, "this is not us." ugly scenes all over the country. >> the family of george floyd and their attorney calling for first degree murder charges against fired minneapolis police officer derek chauvin. >> he was charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter in the death of floyd. interesting because hours later his wife released a statement announcing she

they said after the execution of breonna, it was not announced.nd they announced they had a no-knock warrant. they didn't have to announce. which is it? the story keeps evolving. >> three officers involved in that shooting have been placed on leave. louisville launched an internal investigation. mark claxton is joining me now. he is also the director of the black law enforcement alliance. as we consider all this, i want to share that we should mention that lmpd said they needed the no-knock warrant because they believe suspects could be hiding drugs in taylor's home. what is your take on the police actions and the allegations by the attorney, who is claiming that police falsified information to get that no-knock warrant? >> there's a lot of disturbing conversation coming out. when you have a lack of disclosure at this point or as much information that could come out that doesn't hinder the investigation, you can offset some of the problems we're facing right now. we have the storyline, it appears to be evolving and changing, when there are things

this is about more than george floyd and more than breonna taylor. this is about so many of the names and the feeling of fear that people walk around with that should not be allowed in this country. the question is, what are we going to do in this moment? if unprecedented times call for unprecedented imagination that is on us. time for white people to help and those color to get involved in this businesses and lives that lives matter more than merchandise. time for elected officials to stop searching their hearts but search their policies. time for police to stop telling us this is just the way it is and making cuexcuses how slow the rate of change is. donations to black organizations are great, symbolic gestures are fine but nowhere near enough. even calls and emails to local officials about a single case of a good step, but, ali, you and i both know this is not about one case. this is about hundreds of years of america having its foot on the neck of black people. so until the laws change, and until the people who enforce the laws change, and every

they also want the investigation of breonna tailylor and what happened to her. they have stopped. they will be heading to the white house. they have signed that read i can't breathe. hands up, don't shoot. many of them say the george floyd case is the one that broke the camels back. they are absolutely sick and tired of what they describe as killer cops taking the lives of unarmed black people. they also say that they are upset with donald trump. they feel he's not shown leadership in terms of race relations. they said in terms of with the tweets about looting and shooting and vicious dogs making a reference, what they say is to segregation in the 1960s during the civil rights movement. they understand that trump is using to his political advantage but they say it's bigger than that. this is about not just black rights but civil rights for all americans. including white, black, asian, trans, gay. they say this is a systemic problem that's occurred in america and they will not stop until they see justice. worth mentioning that some food up last night on top of secret service cars a

what i've thought -- i thought yesterday, we weren't talking about george floyd or ahmaud arbery or breonnat districted from what the real issue is. we need to get back to what the problem is. and that's the killing of unarmed black people in america. and there is a history lesson that we find right here in atlanta from the civil rights movement on how you effectuate change. what i saw happening and what we've seen happening over the past few days in america is not the way that things will change in this country. >> all of this, of course, is happening while we're in the middle of a pandemic, with the economic hardship, and then obviously people gathering in large groups. you encouraged protesters to get a coronavirus test last night. are you worried about protests could cause the virus to spread and what that might mean for atlanta in the next two, four, six weeks? >> it's interesting, jake, at 11:30 last night i realized i hadn't looked at our coronavirus numbers if tn two days. and that's frightening, because it's a pandemic and people of color are getting hit harder. i am extremely conc

in march, officers shot and killed emergency room technician breonna taylor in her home.e of the demonstrations turned violent, and at least seven people were shot. many say scenes like these gripping the country come from a deep pain borne by the african american community. sherrilyn ifill is the president of the n.a.a.c.p. legal defense fund. >> for us, you know, the covid- 19 pandemic, and what our community has suffered, and you see that number 100,000 dead and homany of them are african americans. and, when you see the years and years and decades of police violence against unarmed african americans and the ways in which the justice system has failed us and the ways in which our lives have been diminished in this country, yes it is powerful and heavy. >> alcindor: today, former president barack obama also weighed in. in a statement, he said: "it falls on all of us... to work together to create a 'new normal' in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts." back in minnesota, the unrest shows no signs of stopping.

a slightly different feel to it because there's a protest about the death of a woman named brail breonna taylor, who was killed on a no-knock warrant. mayor garcetti has imposed a curfew. let's look at what's going on there. we got police on a vehicle. they are -- they do appear to be firing canisters. i don't know whether they're flash bangs they appear to be flash bangs from the cartridges that you can see rolling out. they do not appear to be gas. but appears to be flash bang grenades. there are protesters there. the curfew has not gone into place yet in los angeles. 8 p.m. pacific time is when that's supposed to happen. right now there are tensions between police and protesters. andrew blankstein is there. what's going on there? >> there was a protest earlier in the fairfax district of los angeles. for those of you who have been there, it's the area around the farmers market and the grove. protesters took to the street. there were a number of police vehicles that were either vandalized or set on fire, at least three vehicles by our last count, and there are clusters of protesters in

that's what we have to focus on here because if we thought about george floyd and breonna taylor and if we thought about their families, think about the communities in which they live, the pain that we're all suffering, with our children watching as we speak. and we responded to that with a sense of urgency and did what we need to do, we would not be having this conversation. and so rather than respond to only a few outside agitators as it were, let's deal with the inside problem that we have. and that means dealing with the problem, the pandemic, if you will, of police misconduct and police brutality. because the reality is, we know it. when a young black man has -- is 21 times more likely to encounter violence and have his life taken at the hands of the police than a white young man, when we have the largest cities in this country, the largest police department, where roughly a third of the officers -- a third of the officers -- i should say, only 30% of these police departments even require officers to report bad behavior. and only one-third call on officers to actually intervene

in kentucky, the family of breonna taylor, a 26-year-old aspiring nurse who was shot by police inside her own apartment have filed a wrongful death, lawsuit against the louisville metro police department. the lawsuit details how police shot taylor at least eight times after they burst into her apartment, unannounced, with a search warrant. the man police were looking for did not live in taylor's apartment and reportedly was already detained by police when officers arrived at the residence on the night of march 13. she had been working as an emergencyy mededical techniciann treating covidid-19 patients. the supreme court hearard oral arguments by telephone tuesday in a pair of cases that will determine whether president trump can continue to keep his tax returns and private financial records a secret. president trump is resisting subpoenas from the house financial services committee, which is investigating possible money laundering in trump-related property deals, and from the house intelligence committee, which is looking into whether trump's business dealings put him at risk of black

let's remember that not only was ahmaud arbery murdered in cold blood in daylight, breonna taylor was home while sleeping. only in america in 2020 is jogging while black and sleeping while black a cause for killing. what we know is we have to not only rebuild america, but as joe biden has said so eloquently, we have to restore the soul of america. that means criminal justice reform that holds all bad actors accountable. whether it's the vigilantes who decided to murder ahmaud arbery or the d.a.s who passed up the responsibility to actually prosecute the case or the police officers that stormed into br breonna taylor's home and shot her without having a warrant and without having cause, we know that we can be a better country if we do our job. rebuilding our democracy means making sure that we restore our soul and we treat every citizen as valid and equally deserving of justice. i stand with joe biden because he will take no person for granted and more importantly, he has spent 40 years lifting up the cause of justice and working hard to make things better and i believe that he will co

. >> yeah, and it didn't matter that breonna taylor was trying to save other people from covid as an. you know, the challenge, and i think bishop barber has explained it well, is black people were already dying disproportionately from poverty, from want, from violence by police. this was already happening. and by the way, white people were already dying in huge numbers that are not usually acknowledged from poverty, from want, rural poverty in white america is as vehement as in black america. but you think about the fact that, you know, we talked to -- there's a package we have in this special where members of the united food workers can't get enough protection to make sure that they don't get sick and die serving up the things that donald trump's favorite protesters are screaming for. go in there, get in that factory and get me my steaks. well, okay, they have to risk their lives for that. and the union that is there to protect them can't protect them and keep them alive and make sure that they have enough ppe. but the police union in this country is the only union left with signifi

people have rallied around the killing of breonna taylor. she died on march 13th when three police officers entered her apartment without knocking. they came in. there was a firefight with her boyfriend. she was shot eight times, and there's been a lot of questions about why they didn't knock, why it was one of those no-knock warrants. that's now over according to the mayor. he made that announcement today. there is a federal investigation into what happened. but it's finally -- if you talk to people here, it's finally getting the attention that it deserves. so it's not just what's happening in minneapolis. it's also what's happening in this city. also worth noting, brian, this is a generational thing. this is a younger group, and everybody is looking at what's happening in washington, what's happening in atlanta, what's happening in minneapolis, and i think they're all feeding each:the scenes are all the same, and people are sort of sharing this moment in history, brian. >> cal perry on the streets of louisville, kentucky. a wild night for

denver to columbus, ohio, to louisville, kentucky, where a protest over the fatal police shooting over breonnaaylor. today, minnesota governor tim walz addressed the grief on display in his state and across the country. >> minnesotians, your pain is real. the chapter that's been written this week is one of our darkest chapters. and we can choose a few things. we can choose to try and get past it, put a force out there and stop things from happening. i don't naively think that everything heals and you come to the forefront and you say it will be better. this is community that demands and expects more than words. >> as demonstrations persist from coast to coast, despite pleas for peace from local leaders, president trump in the rose garden, in an appearance about china, that felt oddly removed from where the american people are, ignoring a chance to calm tensions, ease fears, he said nothing. instead just before he made this statement that you're looking at now, trying to tweet his way out of a controversy caused by another earlier morning tweet where he called protesters in minneapolis "thugs."

it was back on march 13th when breonna taylor, who is an emt. was a worker on the frontlines of the covid-19 pandemic was shot to death eight times by police who entered her apartment on what they call a no-knock warrant. they just went into her apartment looking for a suspect who we now understand was already in police custody. this is not unique to louisville, but it is why so many people were on the streets here tonight. even with that sort of overwhelming force that we saw here tonight, joshua, we saw a number of injuries here. it's important to know there were two police injured last night. we still don't know about arrests. the mayor is going to give a press conference tonight to hopefully update those numbers. that is the scene here in what is now a very quiet, a very eerie and very dark louisville. >> do you goetz tet the sense te police, whoever is part of that coordinated effort in downtown louisville, were particularly heavy-handed. we saw some video last night of a reporter for our nbc affiliate in louisville who got hit with these p

so we're dealing with the devastation of this pandemic, and we're seeing ahmaud arbery, breonna taylor, george floyd. co-vin has arrested so much of what the country has been doing about the business as usual, except killing black folk, except the devaluation of black folk. it's been echoing in my head over and over again, a character in toni morrison's novel "be loved." how much are we supposed to take? when you see the police response to white protesters clam aring to open up the economy coming into the state capitol in michigan, spitting and getting in the face of police, having a gun on their side, refusing to have their arms locked into handcuffs. they're so patient and restrained. here we are responding to the fact that this man treated george floyd like an animal. what do we get? rubber bullets, teargas and the like. more than two americans, nicolle. this is the ugly underside of who we are. >> eddie glaude, you leave me every time with no words, especially today. let's just vow to keep having this conversation every day. >> indeed. >>> up next, donald trump is tweeting away abo
