omar jimenez, cnn, grand rapids, michigan. >> thank you, omar.r acting baltimore police commissioner and cnn law enforcement analyst and cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. in the video of that traffic stop the officer tells patrick his license plate doesn't match the vehicle. there is an escalation that turns deadly. do you see anything from that video from that chase, that the officer should have done differently? >> well, yes. first, you pull a vehicle over and the operator of the vehicle jumps out of the vehicle, that's a red flag. as an officer and patrol, i've done a job. you stop. you assess what's going on here because that's not normal. you would call for backup and wait for backup to come. instead the officer approaches and everything goes downhill from there. so that's one issue. also, was there a chance to just disengage and not continue? yes. but the officer also was placing him under arrest, and we see that he resisted arrest. he didn't comply with numerous requests including drop the taser. we're locked in

and three videos were released by grand rapids police this week.secutors actually asked to wait to release those until the investigation was complete, but out of a goal for transparency, they did it earlier. but the body camera video went dark 42 seconds before that shooting. the police are saying that's because of a malfunction. you have to press down the recessed button for at least three seconds in order to stop the recording. it's unclear who applied that pressure or if it was intentional. lyoya's family, outraged, heartbroken, seeing this video of their son. ben crump, civil rights attorney, is representing the family. here's what he had to say. >> based on what we see in the video, this officer should be charged and held accountable. for the unjustified killing of an unarmed citizen. it is that simple. >> reporter: michigan department of civil rights is calling on the department of justice to help investigate if this shooting, if police were part of a wider, systemic discrimination. yasmin? >> liz mclaughlin for us, for now, thank you for rep

liz mclaughlin, thank you so much from grand rapids, michigan.and ceo of the national urban league. i'm awful glad to have you here. >> hey, alex, thank you. >> i want to get into and ask, really, what went through your mind when you first saw that video of the police officer shooting patrick lyoya? >> i said, not again. not again. here we have -- how does a traffic stop turn into the death of a man? how does this continue to happen in america where an innocent black man, stopped for a misdemeanor traffic violation, ends up going home dead? this video certainly raises significant questions around police actions in grand rapids, but this problem is unabated. as you know, we worked hard last year to pass through the congress the george floyd justice in policing bill. we will not give up on that. because congress has yet -- the house did, but the senate did not, yet to take a strong stand in favor of police accountability. and i think the senate has shirked its moral responsibility to do so because of the filibuster, but this man did not need to die

whatever the outcome, patrick leo leolia's father is demanding one thing. >> cnn, grand rapids, michiganod evening to you. >> what do you see when you see this footage? >> it's horrifying. when they really assess this, it's going to be predicated on three things. it's going to be predicated on, number one, was the officer in immediate fear of death or serious bodily harm? number two, were the actions of the officer in shooting proportionate to the threat that was posed? and number three, did the officer act reasonably? when you look at this, what's troubling is, you can argue that, of course, patrick is noncompliant. but with respect to him being physically assaulted, that's another issue, and there is a distinction between someone who is assaulted and someone who isn't. so to shoot someone in the head and beyond horrifying and troubling. we'll see where the investigation leads, but from what i see, this does appear to have criminal element with respect to what the police did. it's just troubling and did not need to happen. did you need to take your gun and shoot him in the head at that
