. >> the former detroit police chief is sharing his own experience of police brutality. isiah mckinnon says when he was 14 years old, he was walking home from school when four white police officers jumped out of their car, threw him against that car and beat him. he said this about it, here's a quote. the more i screamed, the more they beat me. that day, i promised myself that i would become a detroit police officer and change the detroit police force from the inside. he ended up running the force. but told our erin burnett earlier, the racism did not stop. >> i joined the detroit police department august 2nd, 1965. my first day as a detroit police officer, i walked into the squad room. and as they had roll call, i was the only person of color there, as they had roll call, and they announce might assignment with a white officer, they said i'm working with the -- and they said the "n" word. that was my indoctrination into the detroit police department. this man rode with me for eight hours and he didn't say a word and i didn't say a word. the man i worked with, his name i

he said i promised myself that i would become a detroit police officer and change the police from thet he did eight years later. chief, it's a pretty incredible story here. you know, when you look at your past and then you see this video of george floyd's arrest and death, what do you think? does it make you feel that little has changed since you had that encounter with police? >> well, erin, when i saw the video, the first thing i thought about in reality is that could have been me because this was 50-some years ago and i was this young boy who was rudely beat up by the police. certainly there were no cameras. i wish there had been. and i said, my god, this is 50 some years later and this happened to me and this is happening to him. thank god i'm still alive, but certainly there are some great people who are not like those people. but it's still there in some areas. and the systemic racism that we see and we hear about throughout the police department, throughout this country, are still there. >> so you write about the racism that you experienced from your own fellow officers after y

the mayor of detroit joins us now. you and your police chief are meeting with protest organizers today. is the plan for you about listening or are you there to present solutions? >> well, we've been meeting with various communities and protesters all along. and there are a lot of groups in the city. those who have organized the marches the last few nights have come in, and we're going to listen and have a respectful conversation. the people who protest are the people who drive change and i'm looking forward to the meeting. >> i'm sorry. i'm having a tough time hearing you. you have said that people there are telling you they want more police, not less. can you move money out of police budgets into community programs without making your city less safe? >> we haven't talked about moving money out. in fact, i think the people of this city have not -- we have not had any looting, we have not had any fires. we've not called in the national guard because the relationship of the people of detroit and the detroit police department has been strong

the issues with the detroit police department, especially in the '60s and '70s, are legendary. i would encourage you to read that history. they trems doesly abusivive of black detroiters. they have a new chief doing a very hard job of trying to reform that department. he's there for a reason. ask wh when we talk about math, there have been studies recently that 10%, 10 to 15% of a given department is likely to be abusive and problematic. about 10 to 15% of a given department is likely to be courageous and willing to confront that pattern of abuse by one out of ten or one out of eight of their peers. in the middle a vast majority of the department that wants to go along to get along. doesn't want to rock the boat. that's the code of silence we're talking about. we have a problem institutionally in our departments across this country. now we've -- i was talking to two friends who were mayors the other day. one a large city, one a small city. the mayor from the small city said for six years his department has used personality tests to weed out officers who were likely to be abusive

men and women going you know chasing down a suspect you know it's just that boggles when the detroit police now say the from now on after this kind of amazing failure they'll only use still photos not like security video footage. in due use by their facial recognition software and then it will only be used in violent crimes which to me is kind of like ok but what if it gets it wrong going to accuse of somebody of a violent crime which is far worse penalty than $3800.00 worth of shoplifting exactly i don't see how that's hopeful because at this point if you're only going to use it in upper level crimes which i would consider buying crime because they carry a much harsher penalty and oftentimes when a police officer is responding to a to someone who they feel as though they've committed a violent crime there are a lot more aggressive anyway so the odds of this person being being beaten being treated you know in a very different way because of him being a suspect of a violent crime are a lot higher and if this technology gets it wrong. which is more than likely will we're still going to have s

detroit police chief james craig on what the city is expecting tonight.u preparing for, chief? >> you know, i'm very comforted to know that over the last three days, when i look around the country, we haven't had some of the violence. the men and women of the detroit police department have executed with precision and certainly yesterday was a success. we did make some arrests over the three-day period, but we are anticipating more folks to protest today so we are prepared for that as well. i got to give a lot of credit not only to the men and women who wear the uniform, who just did a phenomenal job, but also our community. one thing we have done very different, we have elicited the support of community members, community activists, who are actually on the ground in the front line with us, because the sentiment is we don't want violence in the city of detroit. so we know definitively that most of the people that we arrested and the problems that we're having are from outsiders, like so many other places. david: let me hold you on that, because i saw you m

these cities like detroit, police -- a shooting a couple years ago, those shootings have flatlined, response time has flatlined, they have flatlined because there is no policing. this conversation, there are two groups of people that have been silenced in this conversation. one would be police officers. but what they know? i never had a conversation with a cop that i learned three or four things, that are good insights. in the community on the ground that does not take the police or is amenable to police reform. you have an elitist in an ivory tower take over this conversation, people in hollywood hills who have their security guaranteed, taking pot shots and smearing the police. if we have learned anything in the last couple weeks, the institutions have to be -- nobody speaks for institutions. responsible people stand up for institutions. fbi malignor shamelessly by both parties, particular lead the republican party, the president at this point, no more important agency than the fbi in racial justice and going after the terrorists, they have latched onto these protests and deconstruct polic

as the chief of police in detroit, is that something you want to do? hat helpful guidance from the president? >> i will tell you, i can't speak for the other cities where we've seen tremendous violence and attacks on police officers, and yes, we've had days where our officers were attacked. we had -- on several occasions we had to deploy gas to restore peace. however, we're not asking for the military. we're not asking for the national guard. it is the detroit police department and our community partners that's getting it done. i'm not going to sit back and take a victory lap. you know, we're excited about the transition from what we saw on day one from friday, and yesterday was certainly extremely hopeful, and we know it doesn't represent the vast majority of those who want to protest against something that we as police officers here in detroit, and i can say for many across the nation, we feel the pain. this officer transitioned from a peace officer to a criminal. that's the bottom line. and so we feel that pain and we support the voices against the d

the first night, we had new police cars damaged, but no looting. detroiterskind of policed the agitators, that's what they are. provocateurs. so, i'm confident we will be able to get through this but we are not there yet. >> tucker: it well, seems like you're doing the right thing. it chief, thank you for coming on tonight and i appreciate it. it could to seo. thank you. good talking again, tucker, tucker. >> tucker: life cover to heading to minneapolis and st. paul area. currently the situation there and will bring you the very latest. ♪ >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. we are heading to the twin cities. on the left, you see minneapolis. fox's mike tobin is in st. paul. he joins us now. >> what we are seeing here in st. paul would really fit the definition of peaceful protest. about 600 people marched around the sphere of st. paul today. they are chanting. they gather here on the capitol grounds. the boys have a very relaxed posture. the other day we were here and there were rows and rows of guardsmen with arms at the ready, keeping anyone from getting t

police. particularly in a place like detroit where we came out of bankruptcy. certainly our police officers had some of the lower paid and while we're incrementally working our way up to bring in their salaries up, so what are we going to do? lay off police officers in detroit? take 10%? fortunately then, minimal conversation here about de funding, it's flawed and it makes no sense. charles: right. chief craig, while you mentioned it's a knee jerk reaction i feel like there's been a plan in place, or deceiving of this anti-police rhetoric has gone on for more than a decade and whether its come from celebrities or politicians so it felt like the folks who have been behind that felt this was the moment to strike. now listen i grew up in harlem and we had a serious, we were in defacto battle in police with my neighborhood growing up but we were frustrated when they didn't get there in time so how do we figure out if this is a decades- old problem, the interactions, how do you go about forgetting about the de funding idea but going about some sort of change that can

essentially the technology doesn't work and in riyadh chief james craig who is the chief of the detroit police says that if you win by just facial recognition matches that that the company they use has a 96 percent failure rate 96 percent failure rate why are you even using the term not in the 1st place i don't know i really can't think of any i'm laughing but i mean this is a tragic story that really i think i can't think of any other product out there if it had a 90 thick percent failure rate i mean who would buy that product like if you bought a new black you know right and it said well you know it doesn't pick up 96 percent of the stuff on your floor but by this vacuum anyway well or you or you could also apply it to hospitals for instance if you with into a hospital in your doctor said we're going to perform a surgery on you and there's a 96 percent failure rate if i use that machine with. the machine i don't want this i don't i don't want to do this now we already know i mean for example at amazon they're saying there are halting fails and distribution of their facial recognition softwar

james craig, the detroit police chief joins us right now. ank you for taking the time. >> thank you, neil. neil: do you think some of these calls -- neil: thank you, for defunding police departments and the rest, maybe yours included is, is a strategy that is going too far? >> i, i absolutely agree that it is going too far. fortunately here in detroit that is not something that the elected leaders have talked about. now certainly i have heard there are some who sit in seats, some at the federal level, who are talking defunding but, let's face it, neil, it is a knee-jerk reaction and, if your true agenda is to move funding over into programs that have been overlooked for many years, especially in impour -- impoverished communities. let me say this let me say this, i was appointed seven years ago i learned very quickly a city facing bankruptcy. our police department was defunded. we were facing bankruptcy. police officers before my employment, lost 10% of their pay. forced them to work long hours. the men and women here know what defunding look

when we are talking about defunding police, which we did in detroit, because remember, our famous bankruptcylanced on the backs of the police officers and the firefighters, and the paramedics, and the secretaries, we cut their wages and inflation cut more into their wages. it is not worth having the job. we can't find people to do the job. and i am telling you absolutely black lives matter, but children's lives matter the most to all of us. and if we can't keep them safe, we are not a society. >> martha: you talked to one mom and one of the neighborhoods who said that she was hoping that the protesters would come to her neighborhood, why? >> because we have had 15, 16 solid days of marching, cool. absolutely it is time. but all the police from the neighborhoods are now downtown. special operations especially, the gun guys to keep order. now there are not the police and the neighborhoods. and as you quoted what i wrote, murder is up 25%. shootings are up 30%. this is an impossible situation, i know mothers, fathers, grandparents, they have not seen police in five months come down their street
