and i believe that duval patrick, the group that's put together, i'm going to talk to them.panel. i think that every elected official who cares and has mound the death of laquan mcdonald should say i want a hearing with that. i think this is a time to have that kind of conversation, not just -- look, i hope to come back with you in three months, six months and tell you what i've done and where the city of chicago is at. we cannot sweep this one. let this be the last death of a chicago citizen that occurs without complete transparency and without -- look, the people of the city of chicago have to believe that everybody, that there is justice and equality and justice for everybody. and i don't think that that's the case in the city of chicago. in this case it's very troubling to many of us in a demonstration of a long held -- about four years ago, there was $4.1 million paid out when an african-american male was shot and killed by the chicago police. one of the things that the federal judge said is that there's a code of silence. we need to break the code of silence. i love th

duval patrick, yes, he's a chicago native and most recently a governor.ink that's a good move in your opinion or someone who doesn't eat and breathe in chicago? >> don't bill him as a chicagoan. he was very influenced by chicago. he grew up on the south side and wrote in his memoir about the influence growing up in chicago and having a break in life by going away to boarding school. but he has a resume that could be helpful here. he is familiar with the south side. but the idea of trying to sell him as a chicagoan, it's like, please, just don't do that because it doesn't help. my brother and sister are reporters at the chicago press conference raised that objection. and that's where rahm emanuel sometimes tries to just outspin his own spin. if you think he's a credible person with relevant experience to revise a task force, so be it. the name doesn't mean a lot in chicago politics right now. so i think if he thought this is just not a big name that will force instant healing. does patrick have a lot of skills that may be useful, sure. but i wouldn't overs

the mayor was appointing a five-member task force of prominent chicagoans to be advised by duval patrick, former governor of massachusetts, former head of the civil rights division of the justice department and a chicago native, i might add, to oversee, to take a look at the accountability of the police department to the people of chicago and to try to figure out how to rebuild the trust that has been so badly shattered by this incident and that really did lead to the firing or mayor emanuel's request that mccarthy resign. he sort of -- the announcement was made last night this press conference would be held and this was going to be what the mayor was going to talk about. it was roundly criticized, sort of seen as buying time, seen as a standard politician's or mayor's city official's response to name a commission to look into this, to recommend action early next year. but apparently, he concluded by this morning before he met the press that mccarthy had to go. >> john yang in chicago, thank you. joining us now is cornell william brooks, president and ceo of the naacp. he was arrested al
