john: less than 24 hours after derek chauvin was convicted, u.s. attorney general merricke government was reviewing the minneapolis police. >> the justice department has opened a civil investigation to determine whether the minneapolis police department engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional or unlawful policing. john: the inquiry could lead to a court supervised agreement to force changes on the department, a practice limited during the trump administration. both minneapolis police chief and the city council welcome today's announcement. the council called for the justice department to use its full authority to hold the police accountable. across the city tuesday, jubilation when the guilty verdicts were announced. [inaudible] minneapolis resident. >> it was a big thing when we got that gratification. not necessarily saying that that eases the pain of the floyd family. but it does give a little bit of gratification. john: a leading racial justice activist in minneapolis said despite the verdict, there is still much to be done. >> we don't need more reports.

the new administration here, merrick garland's administration will hear, and the administration is focused on things that the last four years weren't. those agreements, john, kind of went out with the new administration, which viewed them as demoralizing to police departments and didn't look to do these types of things, and we expect, john, minneapolis will be the first of many. garland, one of the first things he did in recent days was to rescind an order from the previous administration that discouraged these types of agreements and we expect to see many more in the coming weeks and months. >> grateful for the reporting on this story. let's get comments from the deputy assistant attorney general, elliott williams. on the one hand at first glance, it sounds like big brother, the federal government taking an oversight role of the minneapolis police department. this is something the chief will welcome, i believe, and could lead to good more quickly? >> yeah, and investigations can be fully collaborative between the police department and the department of justice and community if the parties are all willing to come together, and if you think of it as not a

the john hope franklin reconciliation park in tulsa is the city's memorial to what happened to the greenwood neighborhood 100 years ago next month. and today, u.s. attorney general merrick garland went to that memorial in tulsa. in an interview with abc news, he had this very emotional moment. >> you know, one thing i was thinking about during your confirmation, you mentioned your grandparents. and that they fled anti-semitism, i believe it was in russia. and america gave them a home, a safe place. so is it important to know a little something about being the other, about being someone who has been discriminated against? is that something you will try to use somehow in the job? >> well, you know, think my grandparents left, actually they left, one of them left the same village that chagall painted fiddler on the roof, in belarus. and the country took them in. >> it still remains with you. >> yeah. they protected them at a time when other countries wouldn't. so all of us in our family feel an obligation for public service, and to protect other people in the way that we were protected. that's the job of the justice department. to make sure equal justice under the law, for

john johnson. good to see you again. thanks so much for joining us today. also this afternoon in the politics lead, attorney general merrick garland this afternoon investigating a federal investigate will examine policing practices in louisville, kentucky, this in the wake of breonna taylor's death, the 26-year-old woman killed when police botched a raid at her apartment last year. the new justice department investigation comes as lawmakers are pushing for a more permanent solution to policing practices with the george floyd justice in policing act. that legislation, which already passed the house, would set up a national registry of police misconduct. it would ban chokeholds and would ban no-knock warrants in federal cases. some progressive lawmakers say that their push to remove qualified immunity protecting police officers from civil lawsuits is not on the table, not up for compromise, but that single issue has become a sticking point in the u.s. senate putting the entire legislation at risk as cnn's manu raju reports. >> reporter: minneapolis, louisville, brooklyn center, columbus, elizabeth city as deadly confrontatio

merrick garland would have a big role in this. he's not the type of attorney general that would want to insert himself in these kinds of debates, and as evan laid out and as johnhe biden justice department is trying to do is get out of the way of this investigation, which is contrary to what the previous justice department was doing, which was blocking the search warrant being carried out against somebody who was a close ally and attorney of the president, and merrick garland understands, i think, the political nature of the investigation and the need for him to stay on the sidelines of it. it's clear that this administration does not want sort of repeat of the kind of, you know, whether it's sort of a james comey perception that you are getting out in front of an investigation and being too public about things that are currently under way, and it's important for this to play out, and i expect you will see the justice department really staying out of it as much as possible and saying very little about it as the investigation unfolds. >> gloria is also with us right now, and i have to remind our viewers, trump was impeached already over ukraine, and this is whe

john: let's bring in ted williams. a lot to get to, let's start with the top story. the fact that merrickland says the department of justice will be launching a full-scale investigation into possible systemic policing issues at the minneapolis police department. we are all wondering, is this a case of a rogue officer, or does this go deeper? your thoughts. >> hi, john. happy to be with you and the audience. i have got to tell you that these kinds of investigations are conducted. they are customarily done. i can tell you during the trump administration that there was one of these investigations. within the obama administration, there were approximately 25 of them. ferguson was one of these investigations. washington, d.c., has had this kind of an investigation. baltimore has had this kind of an investigation. this is really not out of the ordinary, john. it's the one we heard this word "systemic" around yesterday. yesterday it was president biden saying that the united states is a nation of systemic racism. let's see what he said earlier today. >> president biden: it ripped the blinders of
