ithaca is a college town with a population of around 30,000.e the chances they could be adopted in larger cities with much different demographics? >> as you know, cities are often laboratories of democracy, college town especially so. 30,000 of the smartest, best-looking, kindest constituents a mayor could ever ask for are often on the front edge of social and political change. and i've been contacted by literally hundreds of elected officials in big cities and small villages across the country who want to copy the approach we're pioneering. >> let's see what happens. i'll have to leave it there. thank you, mr. mayor of ithaca. >>> up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. nstead. with crisp veggies on freshly baked bread. just order in the app! ditch the burgers! choose better, be better. subway®. eat fresh. bipolar depression. it's a dark, lonely place. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. emptiness. a hopeless struggle. the lows of bipolar depression can disrupt your life and be hard to manage. latud

in berkeley, in nassau county, in ithaca, they're already going to do that where law enforcement will no longer enforce low level traffic offenses and ithaca, putting together a department of community solutions and public safety that will be civilian led, majority unarmed, that will not respond to nonviolent issues with armed responses, they're saying we don't want these potential deadly situations to even be an option. and also as the nation is exhausted and disgusted, literally sick to our stomachs watching this, we can't forget, we built a house out of this kind of violence. the nation is a built house out of this kind of violence. we have built the studs and infrastructure and dry wall out of stolen labor, and stolen land, and now folks are saying, hey, let's repaint the door. and that ought to fix it. after just one year we cannot recover from 400 of not just neglect but trying to do this kind of stuff on purpose. so i get that it's angering, i'm angry and sick too. i'm sleepless about it too. it is going to take some time. there's some good news out there but it will continue t

you also talk about changes in police department like we see in at the guy new york and yet -- ithacak, at the pace of police murders on unarmed african-american men? >> we are seeking to destroy, jen and the system that has rained in our country for hundreds of years in which black people can be killed with impunity. in the state of minnesota what we know is there is an authoritarianism that runs through law enforcement as well as racism. but in between philando castile and george floyd, justine damon was killed also a white woman was killed by a black officer. she was having a seizure, as i recall. similar to what we saw in the case with the 20-year-old in brooklyn park, she was noncompliant because she was having a seizure. she was shot and killed. in this case, he was noncompliant and was shot and killed. they said they were going to tase her. the person behind the wheel of a car. we have got to get in this country where does what is also portant about that case, he called his mom afraid. he was with his girlfriend. he called his mother afraid of what they may dto him. his father

this is ray, ithaca, new york, says derek chauvin is not guilty. guilty. go ahead tragic i think not guilty just because i have a reasonable doubt. i'm not saying he's innocent but i do think there's a reasonable doubt in our system when there is reasonable doubt you have to vote not guilty. >> host: more from eric nelson attorney for derek chauvin. his argument for reasonable doubt in that trial in closing arguments yesterday here's eric nelson. >> there's lots of one deaths that could of happened, -- what yes, what should it happen, lots of them and lots of regards. we have to analyze this case on the perspective of the reasonable police officer at the precise moment with the totality of the circumstances when it comes to use force. we have to look at the cause of death to determine did mr. floyd died exclusively of his six-year, or were there other contributing factors? that were not the natural result of mr. chauvin acts? things that happened it was set in motion before mr. chauvin ever arrived. drug ingestion, right? the bad heart, the diseased heart,

meanwhile in ithaca new york, you have a convicted cop killer. that's right, cop killer convicted.ently paroled from prison. now sitting on the city's police reform board. that's just genius. all across the country. we are all witnessing similar things happening like in california which is also outlawed cash bail for those who cannot afford it. the state has also been cutting funding for the l.a.p.d., downsizing the hard-core gangs unit and california's more violent crime than any other state in the nation. so if you like california, you like new york, you are going to live by an socialist utopia. by the way, also both her sanctuary states meaning they shield even criminal illegal immigrants. even those that get out of jail for violent crimes, they are protected by the state from deportation. enforcing the law of the land. if you are a law abiding citizen with no criminal record, work hard, pay your taxes, weight loss, trying to follow the regulations, you better mascot. you better follow all the covid protocols. you better get all of your required permits or you're probably going

the izzy award is presented by the park center for independent media at ithaca college and is named for legendary dissident journalist i.f. stone. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman in new york, join by my co-host nermeen shaikh. hi, nermeen. nermeen: hi, amy. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. amy: the united states and iran have begun indirect talks as part of a push to revive the 2015 iran nuclear al. former president donald trump pulled out of the accord nearly three years ago. on tuesday, iran and the united states began indirect talks in vienna and agreed to set up two expert-level working groups along with other signatories of the 2015 deal, which is formally known as the joint comprehensive plan of action, or jcpoa. state department spokesperson ned price described the talks as the "start of a process" and said the biden administration is prepared to lift sanctions on iran. >> when it comes to sanctions, the point, before remains. we are prepa

with police reform, and this is where the interesting data is to look at, you look at a place like ithacalks say that yes the funding has to follow, but it should be up to each individual community what public safety looks like. the idea is to take rm aed officers out of those everyday encounters, things like low level traffic stop, things like mental health and social work calls where black and brown measures end up getting harmed. so i'll say as you know, you know, watching congress, seeing some kind of compromise, seeing some kind of negotiation is a starting point. it is a sign of hope for folks who have followed this for a while. but there is a long way to go before there is a deal done. >> indeed there is. thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate your reporting. >>> and still ahead here, a totally different host for jeopardy lands the gig. jeopardy lands the gig when you have metastatic breast cancer, what does it mean to be a thriver? it means we grab a hold of what matters most. we sweat the details. ask for what we want. get what we need. and we need more time. so, we w

and so we can look to places like ithaca, new york, and the mayor who are trying to figure out how to create community-based, community-led public safety. we can look at communities that are investing in mental health resources, so that when wellness checks are made, it's not someone with a gun on their hip, but actually someone with the training to support someone in crisis. we can look to organizers in my hometown of st. louis, who are working to close places like the medium security prison in our city that we call the workhouse and to put that money back into the community. so we'll continue to stay organized, we'll continue to be disciplined. the gop and the police are certainly organized. and we will continue to outfox them at every turn. >> brittany pac-man cunningham and jelani cobb, thank you so much for being here tonight and taking the time out on this saturday night. really important insights and an important conversation. please stay safe. >>> coming up, what should we be focusing on when it comes to fighting climate? a new u.n. report will suggest methane plays a bigger r

there are places like ithaca where there is no need to send a badge and a gun. we could do this with better people, a nudge here or there. the whole setup is entirely wrong. with a low-level traffic stop, we've got multiple people with badges and guns. what kind of sense does that make when a simpl error could cost a father, a son, a daughter. what i'm watching in the press conference is all of that and people trying to keep it together because they're supposed to be in charge of something. they can't be in charge of something this big unless the country decides they want to change it. they just can't. >> i've been pulled over for expired tags in my life, and it's clearly -- it shouldn't have to be a privilege that i don't have to be afraid of that. but here we are, it is, and someone is dead because, as you pointed out, they were pulled over initially because they had expired tags. chuck rosenberg, let me go to you on how we're going to proceed here with this investigation. we heard the police chief did not have some of the answers to the questions that were as

so places like where berkeley where they said no lower level traffic enforcement and ithaca, they're and public safety that's civilian led, and there will be no armed responses to nonviolation crises. that's the hope of what comes next. >> and there are other things happening on the local level too. take florida, governor desantis just signed a controversial bill, anti-riot bill, anti-riot on its face, people can say sure, but what it does is crackdown on protests. how damaging is a bill like that to the cause of overall improving policing? >> let's talk a quick second about what words mean. this anti-riot bill is designed to crack down on quiet riots. it says if you're three or more people, you can be declared a riot by whatever law enforcement is there. and that includes hurling mean worlds. one of the components of the bill, if you're convicted or charged with this, you have to be held in custody until your trial with no chance of bail in that context. it's a logistic nightmare. it's a moral failing. and it's having exactly the right direction from where the rest of the country wa
