wright's funeral will be held next thursday in minneapolis. anne-marie? >> laura podesta in new york. thank you so much, laura. >>> the future of the johnson & johnson covid vaccine is still in the air. the single-shot dose remains on pause as the cdc does more research after one woman died and five others suffered a rare blood-clotting issue. overall, vaccination efforts continue across the country. more than 78 million americans are now fully vaccinated against the virus. that's just over 23% of the u.s. population. the head of pfizer says its recipients will most likely need a third shot, roughly six to 12 months after being fully vaccinated. in a recent study, the pharma giant said its dose was highly effective up to six months following the second shot. >>> meantime, a hearing on the covid-19 response turned tense when republican congressman jim jordan of ohio pressed dr. anthony fauci about americans getting their freedom back. take a listen. >> where does it get to -- when it comes down, what number do we get our liberties back? tell me the number. tell me

wright get up and speak. he had a very difficult time saying anything but wanted to speak on behalf of his son. >> miguel marquez, appreciate it. back with us, laura them call for the conviction of officer potter. how easy would it be for prosecutors to deliver that verdict for the wright family? >> you know, the definition of justice, unfortunately, for so many families of victims in this country is just not in line with what the laws can provide, especially when it means and comes to the sentencing. but having said that, even without that universal definition of justice, anderson, there is a charge now against this officer. as i said before, because of the pace of this actual charge, it could mean this is only the initial charge. i remind people that another officer in the minneapolis area just a couple years ago, muhammad noor, was also charged with second degree manslaughter but they also had a third-degree murder charge attached to it based on the same unreasonable risk that was taken. and the unreasonable risk is when you created an opportunity where you could actually consciously cause somebody to die or have grave bodily harm. is it fact t

resignations of not only the police officer who shot and killed daunte wright but also the police chief of that department, lauraoates and charles ramsey are back with us now. commissioner ramsey, kim potter, the police officer, resigned. the police chief resigned. the city manager has been relieved of his duties. what do you make of all this? >> well, i mean, i can only imagine the amount of pressure that the chief was under, under the circumstances. i'm not surprised that the officer resigned. with 26 years and i don't know their pension package at all, but i would imagine she can retire and pull a pension. the chief had to be under enormous pressure, so when the mayor said no one, you know, put pressure, i mean, no, you know that's not true. but he stepped down, and that's the right thing to do. under the circumstances. >> why do you think it was the right thing to do? >> well, i mean, it relieves the pressure. i mean, you know, first of all, he probably didn't have much backing from the political leadership and also the community. i mean, you want to try to calm things down, and sometimes you hate to say it,

laura: they should not waste time on critical race theory. we need all students to be taught math and science. ben crump the attorney for the floyd and wrightilies said this on abc news. >> we have to have racial reckoning, america, because if we don't then people will continue to have these emotional protests. >> laura: making excuses for emotional protests. >> there is an excuse for everything to bring race into this. we don't need it. as a neurosurgeon when i operate on a brain, i can't tell whether you are black, white, yellow or brown. it's absurd. we need to think about something that is important in this country. just using this to divide people and to provide power for a political class is absurd. >> laura: thank you very much. the narrative surrounding the events of january 6th continue to unravel. a man was wrongly identified as being at the capital and he was harassed by the fbi. he will tell us about it. stay there. my garden brings us together. my garden is my therapy. find more ways to grow at miracle-gro.com. >> ♪ ♪ >> laura: imagine you are at home working in the back yard when 2 fbi agents come knocking. why? because you ar

cnn senior legal analyst laura coates explains how it pertains to the deaths of daunte wright and georgeat the hands of police. >> a fleeing suspect still deserves to have the use of force continuum applied. you don't just get to use deadly force or some sort of excessive force or even force in general to pursue a fleeing suspect unless there is some basis to believe that the amount of force you're using is reasonable, necessary and proportional. we've been doing this for the better part of two weeks in the derek chauvin trial, this force continuum. nothing about the calculus changes even if the person does have a warrant short of being somebody in an active pursuit of an ongoing deadly shooting spree or a crime of some sort. officers need to actually assess the amount of force they're using. >> with every wrongful death of a black american comes the pain of a system which is still flawed. sabrina fulton has experienced that pain every day. her teenage son trayvon martin was shot and killed while unarmed in 2012. she says policies may be in place to keep black americans safe, but they ar

. >> yeah, 20-year-old daunte wright is the person who lost his life in this episode. laura, walk through what you discussed because it's important how cases can evolve, and obviously because of the case in the community and perhaps even because of the proximity to minneapolis and we know the chauvin is under way ten miles away. prosecutors clearly made a decision to act quickly and make clear they were going to bring charges, and as you note the investigation will continue and that can evolve. walk me through how that process works? >> well, you know, when you first become aware of an actual charge or arrest of somebody, prosecutors will routinely make a decision about the nature of the arrest, and whether they can satisfy the elements. it's not exhaustive, and we are only two days after the killing of daunte, and as you develop the case often times you might increase the particular charges. one way of doing so is if you learn additional information about the statements of the officer, about the state of mind, whether this was actually an accident. all we have to go by righ
