why don't we change the chicago police department so that we see more brown and black faces in the chicagolice department at all levels? there's no reason why the city of chicago, one third of the population is white, over half the chicago police officers are white. there disproportionately represented. it is the jobs they, continue to exist and this code of silence which was also demonstrated in the laquan mcdonald order, what we say -- other police officers were indicted for issuing false reports about the murder of laquan mcdonald. amy: the video was held until after rahm emanuel, the former chief of staff president obama and the mayor of chicago, democratic mayor, was reelected. during his speech to congress last week of the joint session of congress, president biden called on lawmakers to pass the george floyd justice in policing act, which would ban please chokeholds and eliminate qualified immunity for officers. it also seeks to ban racial and religious profiling, certain no knock raids, and would set up a national database to track police misconduct. what has happened of the office

and you then go after the police department, the chicago police department, but this looks not limited. i mean, you know, police departments in major cities are also carrying out these kinds of techniques . we'll talk a little bit about burge. but what i find fascinating is that transference of knowledge, especially in the case of birth, people who served in the military and viet nam, had been a president or complicit in the torture techniques that we're using. and especially this field telephone. this disappears on the color of your book, brought these techniques back into the inner cities and use them against american citizens. so perhaps you can speak about torture as a technique we're talking about, you know, across the country without doubt, thousands, if not tens of thousands of people. again, mostly poor people of color, railroaded into prison on false confessions, you have colloquy, expose some of those false confessions and been able to free people. but, but tell us how, what's happening behind the scenes. what are the techniques that, that they use and, and how, how it, how d

now, the problem is the police department does not put into practice what is recommended, then they fail. in chicago, doj came in, made recommendations, chicago police department did not put into practice what they recommended. they still have problems. and so you must have local officials who are willing to stand up to police unions, to police departments, to the public, and say we're not going to kowtow to the old-school notion of whatever the police want, they get. you got to have leadership. you got folks trying to appraisal the collective bargaining deal in san antonio. i think what you're seeing is the public realize that local pressure, which is why voting comes in, we're going to put people in charge who are going to be far more aggressive when it comes to these police departments, including d.a.s, judges, city managers, city mayors, city council members. that's the only way this thing changes. >> because it's implemented on the ground with localities and we cannot hold them accountable. before the killing of george floyd and breonna taylor last year, you had the modern lynching that was the

others in a new report headlined "'he died like an animal': some police departments hogtie people despite knowing the risks." and in chicagot taylor is one of the lawyers for the family of marcus smith. he is a founding partner of the people's law office in chicago. we welcome you both to democracy now! flint taylor, start off by continuing to describe that night where mark is approached eight white police officers and asked them for help. within minutes, he would be mo dead. close thank you, amy. it is great to be on with you and juan and to follow professor hinton. i can't see the video as you showed it, but just listening to it as i have watched it several times, of course, makes me completely upset. i am sure it is tremendously traumatizing to not only people who are watching, but to the family. what happened in that case was that these eight white police officers decided they were going to hogtie marcus smith. this was not something that was unusual in that greensborough police department. we have inur lawsuit documented that in the past five years before the hog tying of marcus smith caused his death, 275 people were

police employees have received their first dose. in new york that number is 40% among nypd employees, and in chicago it's 28%, according to the department'sit was pain less, and i am afraid of needles but i didn't feel a thing sglerlier this year in chicago the police superintendent got his vaccine on camera hoping it would inspire his officers but the president of the chicago fraternal order of police union isn't surprised by the low vaccination rate. >> reporter: i think the officers are no different than a general population. there's a skepticism. >> the reluctance to get vaccinated comes amidst a year when police departments were hit hard by the virus. the nypd estimates more than 11,000 have had covid-19. last month the nypd counted their 55th covid-related death. last year the virus was the biggest killer of law enforcement in the u.s. causing at least is 45 of the 264 line of duty deaths according to the national law enforcement officers memorial fund. >> one of our own lieutenant eric lloyd recognized his name being put on a police memorial, maybe if eric was still alive, he would tell people please, go get it. go get a vaccine. >

chicago. where would the money go under this proposal in kansas city? >> essentially takes $42 million from the police departmenty have total control over and creates a new fund for policing that the city will control. kansas city is unique in that it is the only major city in the country that does not control its own police department overseen by a state appointed police board. the mayor and other supporters call it a groundbreaking move to give local elected leaders more of a say to what policing looks like in their city. >> the city council and mayor have the opportunity to insure that revenues are invested in root causes and meaningful measurable crime prevention strategies rather than just continuing to write a bigger check to the police department and get no meaningful outcomes. >> kansas city continues to face an epidemic of gun violence. the 176 homicides last year broke records and like a lot of police departments in major cities, k cpd has struggled to replace more than 100 officers who left the force over the past year. just last week chief rick smith called for additional funding and warned that resp

chicago lester spends professor of political science and africanist studies at johns hopkins university and alexandria virginia arthur riser, a former police officer and former prosecutor at the department of justice. a warm welcome to you all joe. let me start with you today. the fact that their child was found guilty of murdering george floyd, how significant was that for black americans? thank you and good morning today. the murder of george ward was in agree just act that we all witness on video if you chose to watch and watching derrick show, then go on trial for murder. that spark ignited a whole new movement was it brought up a lot of emotions for a lot of people. and i think that still, even with having witnessed the year of a movement and haven't seen the video that a lot of black americans and other americans, honestly still we're not sure what we're going to be the outcome of that trial because of what has happened in the past and so i will say that many of us, we're happy to actually see the verdict delivered that we all want it in that we needed to hear in the time. and that bird it's, i think, is more than just a moment, more than just a confirmation of what we know to be

police departments. new york, 72% more retirements in the past year. minneapolis, 20% of the police forces either on leave or has retired. chicagoit is in a staffing crisis and it goes on. las vegas, retirement up 37%. louisville, kentucky, says they are in dire straits in terms of recruiting new officers. portland has a 93 openings on its police force and they have a hiring freeze. philadelphia, the f.o.p. head said it's in a perfect storm of trouble. listen. >> what i'm seeing now is a lot of officers moving the retirements of the earlier to leave and go find other jobs elsewhere because right now they don't feel like anybody has their back. >> and what is this leading to? some blameless now on the pandemic but just one year to date now take a look at major cities and crime. new york, philadelphia, los angeles. and each of those cities, homicides and shootings are up. up 64%, los angeles 73%, here in philadelphia, homicides of 38%. maybe we should have seen this coming but in any event, it is here. >> sandra: hotel for the people there in that city and for the american people. thank you for that. i surpassed the 100 day mark o

in seattle they're still trying to defund the police department to the tune of $5 1/2 million more dollars. you have kids being shot. a 14-year-old in chicago weeks ago in seattle a 16-year-old opened the door to his family's apartment and was murdered. these are kids who are being killed and no one seems to be sounding the alarms. instead we are claiming that police are the problem. police aren't the ones killing these people. police aren't responsible for these deaths. there are instances in which police are doing bad things but the truth of the matter is these police officers are the ones trying to solve the crimes and they aren't able to in a quick enough manner because they're the ones being defunded and they're overwhelmed and have case after case after case being put on their laps and they don't have the resources to get the bad guys because they're being defunded. >> harris: one cop going viral. another video for you and i to watch. >> i wake up every morning and kiss my family goodbye knowing that there is a possibility i won't come home. i am tired of every time i wake up in the morning there is someone else polarizing the fact th

chicago, and atlanta. and up by more than 800 percent in portland. calls to defund are now being replaced by calls for help. minneapolis mayor jacob frey says his police department is overwhelmed and needs additional manpower from state and federal agencies until more officers can be hired. but one former mpd officer who left says in the current climate it will be hard to find and keep folks on the force. >> it's a tough place to work. you don't want to be proactive right now up there. if you stick your neck out, you are going to get your head cut off as a police officer. >> the city council efforts to dismantle the police department are now on hold and it will now be up to voters to decide in november if they want to keep the police department or replace it with a new public safety division. bret? >> bret: garrett tenney live in minneapolis. thank you. president biden's administration will not directly acknowledge what numbers do indicate is a massive surge in big city violence. and the legislation promised in the wake of the floyd death is still unsettled and undetermined. white house correspondent peter doocy has that part of the story tonight live from the n

police department. sometimes it's the courts that make the determination, but, you know, something like this. you just cannot keep it quiet. i go back to the chicago incident with laquan mcdonald where that was a year before that tape was shown, and again, you had a situation where the report did not match what you saw on the video. this is an incredible situation, policing in the united states finds itself in right now, and the only way out of it is through transparency, dealing with this head on, and dealing with the reality that we've got some people that should not be wearing a uniform, wearing a badge or carrying a gun, period, and we've got to find a way to weed them out. it's got to become easier to fire an officer. it is very difficult to get rid of an officer, but the leadership has to have the will to put this out and make sure that they take care of it. there's no reason for this to have been held for wo years, and there's no reason for these reports. the public may not have seen the video. people within the organization saw the video and the alarm bell should have gone off right there. >> a state official now unnamed is saying that lou

chicago police. that board provides that civilian oversight for -- for the police. but the rules and regulations and how they operate. that should be right there in the uscp files. >> that would be internal to the police department? >> yes, sir. >> all right. do you think that the capitol police board, as we look at its operations, would be more effective if it had its own, dedicated staff? because you are telling me they only have one staff person who is an executive assistant, right? >> yes, sir. i'm answering your question, yes, and yes. so, yes, we need a staff. and yes, there is only one person. >> do capitol police board obligations take your staff away from their other day-to-day duties? because there is no capitol police board staff, other than this one person. >> no, sir. we're trying -- we're talking about maybe, the three of us, maybe donating a person, each, that could support and maybe be a staff. to create that functionality. >> okay. let me ask mr. blanton, do you think it's important that the frontline architect of the capitol employees are aware of the threat environment on the campus? >> i think it's important to where it can be shared that the threat environment is shared with -- >> are there

chicago. >> kansas city's mayor insists it isn't about defunding the police but increasing accountability. these newly passed measures will take more than $40 million out of the city's police department's direct budget to create a new community services and prevention fund. this new fund will largely still go towards law enforcement efforts but police department will have to negotiate a contract with the city for how those funds will be used giving local leaders more control over what law enforcement efforts in their city look like. that is significant here because kansas city is the only major city in the country that doesn't control its own police department. instead it is overseen by a state appointed police board. here is the mayor. >> what we're doing now ain't working. it is not just an answer enough to say get more law enforcement. it's recognizing we must do better. >> last year in the midst of a pandemic kansas city broke a record for homicides with 176 and so far this year the city has been doing much better. local activists are pushing for these kinds of changes and while they are celebrating these moves, others there are just worried about their safety. >> i think with fund
