in my opinion, this is just as devastating for the professional policing as the derek chauvin video. >> and, sir, you mentioned, obviously that the video's excruciating to watch, but some of the audio is really telling as well. there are portions where officers are heard explicitly saying, quote, i hope they stomp his ass, as they're chasing him. then you hear them comparing stories. he must be on drugs, he was going for your gun. all of this as tyre nichols is slumped over on the side of a vehicle dying. don't they have a responsibility at this point to render aid? >> absolutely they have a responsibility to render aid. you know, i said from the very beginning their actions were inconsistent with police training. we don't train people that way. if you unfortunately have to use deadly force and shoot an individual, your responsibility is then to render aid to that individual. so there's just no excuse for that. i mean he's sitting there, lying there for extended periods of time, police officers just milling around, paramedics arrive, they don't take immediate action. i mean whether o

we saw in the derek chauvin trial in the killing of george floyd. the theory around all of those officers is in addition to causing george floyd's death, they failed to render aid. that was a fairly novel legal theory at the time, but the jury accepted it, and now we're starting to see that type of theory brought to bear more afte often. it's some of the lesser charges but still significant. lesser charge. the official misconduct charge and official omission charge if you look further down the charges here. the theory is by standing around doing nothing, first i would think that tells you something about their mind-set, their intent. they didn't care what happens to him. that's a crime in and of itself. they're seeing that kind of theory used much more aggressively with some police officers and with some success. >> bottom line, do you expect there to be more charges? >> i don't expect there to be more charges. i don't think there's a first-degree charge to be had here. that involves premeditation and intentional. i think they've charged this as agg

and given what we witnessed with derek chauvin and the kneeling on george floyd's neck and the civil unrest we saw happen across the world after george floyd, you wonder, how can any police officer in america in any police department not have that in their minds, in their hearts, when they go out and face the public. so there's so much that we still need to learn about what motivated the actions of these officers. hearing the chief say she didn't see any reckless driving or probable cause, she didn't see a reason for mr. nichols to be stopped. that another unarmed black man died in the custody of police during a routine traffic stop says everything we need to know, which is that policing in this country is in crisis. >> you know, shimon, the city wanted these charges to be announced before the actual video, which is brutal, was released. has that helped ease anger and anxiety among members of the community? you're there for us. >> reporter: well, for the most part, things have been very peaceful here. people are just -- it's just another day. certainly there's a lot of emotion, you g

obligation to do precisely what the officers charged in that case, the more rookie case compared to derek chauvin, chose not to do, which is to intervene in some meaningful way. there's really a clear delineation here between when they were officers of law and when they were members of essentially a gang that decided they were going to move by perhaps bravado, perhaps by ego n some other way, to punish. and what's so striking -- and joey is so right -- i'm a mother of a little boy who calls my name and calls out for me so often that it is so engrained in me to respond, to have almost a pavlovian reflex at the thought that he might need me. to think that 80 yards away, somebody's son was calling out until presumably he was no longer able to speak. maybe his jaw had been injured in some way. he was not communicating to the same degree. to think of what his mother is going through in the proximity of that moment. and this man, tyre nichols, died never knowing the answer to the first question he asked the officers. what did i do? and we still don't know. >> it is heartbreaking and just raises still m

he spoke to the nation when the verdict for derek chauvin came down. >> any plans for the president tophis? >> reporter: no word on the president traveling down there himself. keep in mind this white house too like most everybody else across the country, they are bracing for the release of this video that is expected to be so traumatic and cause so much outrage. i suspect we'll continue hearing from the white house and the president directly as we continue learning more in the next 24 to 74 hours. >>> straight ahead we're going to speak with tyre nichols' mother and step father and the memphis chief of police. stay with us, our special coverage in memphis continues. a lot to get here throughout the day. >>> certainly something everyone in washington is watching what you're doing in memphis as well. >>> we are learning new reporting this morning on the investigation into the hush money payments to the former adult actress, stormy daniels and former president trump's alleged involvement in the payments. this morning new details show how involved they believe the president was, it comes f

even a situation of derek chauvin murder in george floyd, he was charged with unintentional murder. you see things on this video that we don't typically see. like, for example, the officers standing him of so they can continue to abuse and punish him. those circumstances should give rise to swift justice the way that you see it here. however, the reason why we don't see in other cases because there are safeguards billed for police officers that subject them to a different criminal justice system than the rest of us are exposed to. that's the bottom line answer. >> sonia, before we let you go. where do you see this case going retiree? where is there going next? do you think more officers may be in jeopardy here? >> great question. i have been wondering about the first officer we saw with the taser. i would like to know what's going to happen with the other people who are on the scene. i know there's some officers -- sheriffs deputies may have been suspended or are doing some sort of investigation. we want that to be just a swift, those investigations as the investigation was for the

>> you know, i think that we've seen -- if you think back to the derek chauvin case, when you have aorted as what happened and the police report and what is shown on footage, often times itself is a telling piece of evidence. so i'm not concerned about her ability to clear and transparent in this moment in terms of the case itself. but ultimately it does come back to this question of this how often we take those police reports on face value and we report those incidents in the media and talk about what happened in our daily lives. >> sometimes you mentioned the george floyd case, they were found to be at a minimum misleading, perhaps outright false. thank you so much to both of you and we'll be right back. into the no-too-distant future of lincoln. ♪ ♪ it's what sanctuary could look like... feel like... sound like... even smell like. more on that soon. ♪ ♪ the best part? the prequel is pretty sweet too. ♪ ♪ for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are positive for acetylcholine receptor antibodies, it may feel like the world is moving without you. but the picture is changing

the question will be then, the same issue with derek chauvin, at the time of trial or at the time oftencing where were these officers, former officers, serve their time. will it be in federal custody or will it be in state custody. of course, the state charges and state prosecution always moves quickly and moves first, and it's going to be one that's going to be live for us to see. >> and i'm kcurious. i was spoken with a federal prosecutor yesterday and he made the case it may be easiest for these five officers charged with aggravated second-degree murder among other charges, kidnapping, et cetera, to take a plea deal. would you counsel them to do so? >> it depends for which one of the five officers. obviously, what those five former officers did not account for, they did not account for that pole camera to be recording their actions because if we take it back to the words that were used, at some point during the video footage we hear with the body-worn camera, whether intentional or not, they ended up on the floor and were recording the actual actions, but at some point we hear the

when in reality, video evidence showed officer derek chauvin kneeling on floyd's neck. in the case of breonna taylor, the initial statement from louisville police said she had no injuries, even though six shots struck her when police enter her home using a battery round to execute a search report. >> you see that time and again. it makes you -- these are the big cases that the nation has learned about. the problem is you see those inconsistencies. and you wonder about all the other times when there have been -- there have been cases that perhaps got some attention or those that got no attention. what was the truth? it is always been assumed on the public's part that the police were telling the truth. and now we have proof that they haven't been initially in some of the statements. >> look when we were covering george floyd, if you look at the initial statement and you would say, wait, are we talking about the same thing? >> yeah. >> and -- >> and we weren't. >> and what that speaks to a little bit is something that i think attorneys would say would be consciousness of g

you have colin kaepernick's knee nonviolent expression of desire for social change and derek chauvin'se on the neck of george floyd and the two knees say so much about where we are as a country and what we view as acceptable and not acceptable. there are people who still defend officer chauvin's murder of george floyd and excoriate colin kaepernick for taking a knee and that's like a fun house mirror of reality. there are different realities in this country in terms of what we see as acceptable. you know, as part of human life and that is something that we need to actually drill down on and discuss. the other thing you're asking about, though, which is so important is this idea of appropriations. and watering it down. i mean, that's a feature of this country. i mean, there's a malcolm x postage stamp for goodness sake. and i'm going to sound old, but when public enemy and chuck d said in 1989 most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps and you know, and that was in 1989, that was a true statement. but, you know, our icons of radicalism, people fighting for direct change, they get appro
