i want to go to the mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot. first of all, madam mayor, thank you for coming on. you asked to be on "politicsnation" this evening after earlier this week you said that you found the video of the killing of adam toledo as incredibly difficult to watch, especially with you as a mother of a 13-year-old yourself. what is the message you have tonight for those watching us right now? >> well, first and foremost, i have to say, again, incredible condolences and love and support for the toledo family. his mother, his father, his siblings. he has a big family who is mourning this tragic loss of this young man. no mother should've to walk in the shoes that elizabeth toledo is now walking in every single day with the loss of her child. we just have to keep that loss front and foremost in our own minds. this is a tough thing. it is a tragic, tragic thing that this 13-year-old boy was lost. but as i've also said, we have to unravel a lot of the circumstances that led to that young boy being in that alley at 2:30 in the mornin

lori lightfoot, she definitely needs to resign and she should no longer be the mayor of chicago. before she was mayor, was president of the chicago police board and chair of the chicago police accountability task force. where do you see these protests going? >> i think the protests will likely continue. i think aside from the marching, aside from the protests, we really need to look at instuting some kind of policy in regard to put pursuits in chicago specifically. right now there is no policy. that is something i ready know a few peoe around the south si that have worked at raising awareness on how police rrorize our communities were starti to seriously consider the need to institute some so of foot rsuit policy because it cannot continue because we cannot continue to allow the chicago police department to kill black and brown people in our community's when they are running away. amy: is there any discussion, any word about the charging of the police officer who killed adam? >> know, as of now, i've not heard of any charges bng broughtp on officer eric stillman, who murdered ada

chicago mayor lori lightfoot begging for calm and for peaceful protests.y released bodycam footage of a 13-year-old adam toledo last month. looks like what happened, the local media in chicago reporting on it. police found a gun at the scene that this 13-year-old did raise his hand. didn't look like he had a gun in his hands but there was a gun thrown nearby. it happened within less than a second, this shooting. reaction to this story? >> well, hi, liz. i can tell you there are more questions than answers as pertains to the shooting of this 13-year-old child, adam toledo. when you look at the fact that the law enforcement officers were called to that area as a result of gunfire. they get into the area. they see two people running, a 21-year-old and adam toledo, this 13-year-old. they tackle the 21-year-old. adam toledo continues to run. a police officer runs after him. he was alleged to initially said, that toledo turned around with the gun and the police officer shot him in the chest. he later died. there has been some versions that have now changed to sa

mayor lori lightfoot adjusted as much last week and a prosecutor with a state attorney's office stated in court that that's what happened. however the body cam released today showed while the teenager did have something in his hand while he was running, less than a second later his hands were empty when he turned around and raised his hands just as he was shot by police. surrounding video from a nearby building shows toledo throwing something behind the fence before he turns around with his hands raised, and minutes later body cam footage shows officers finding the handgun in the same area. the officers involved have been placed on administrative duties while an investigation into the shooting is underway. as for the toledo family, this evening there attorney described the shooting as an assassination and said that they are exploring legal action against the officer. there is a lot of concern over protest turning ugly in the release. chicago is still reeling from the riots that took place in the fall and summer of last year that caused millions of dollars in damage to the city's downto

they had planned to march to mayor lori lightfoot's house, nearby, but police barricades kept them from getting too close. at least two people were arrested, near the protest, after a scuffle with police. >>> our reporters are standing by across the midwest tonight. nbc's cal perry is in brooklyn center. and nbc's antonia hilton is in chicago's millennium park. cal, let me start with you. how are the residents of brooklyn center feeling tonight? >> look. they're nervous about tonight, and i will tell you what happened last night. you mentioned that fence and i am glad you did, josh. we are going to show you that fence right now. it is actually the second fencing that exists here, around a perimeter that they have put in place around this very small police station. the police, and we are talking about the sheriff's office, backed by the state police, backed by the national guard, say that that fence was breached. the question amongst residents is, so, what does that matter? there is a good-ten feet before you get to that other fence. and there were, as far as we could see, no weapons in

we heard this week from lori lightfoot the other created mayor of chicago.ficer tasting killed a 13-year-old running away is seems with a gun. ms. lightfoot has decided the real problem is police running after suspects on foot. she is planning a role change to police procedures so any officer wishing to pursue a suspect would require permission from a supervisor. no one should die as a result of a foot chase the mayor said inextricably. so try to picture the scene for a moment. an assailant has shot several innocent people in a large, police arrived on the scene and he takes off with a click. in the future the officer may be unable to raise the precinct on his radio, has to call in to get approval, how might that go, this is the chicago police department, your call is important please hold while we directed to the right person. it's easy to laugh but it's not a joke matter. 177 homicides already this year that is more than ten week, that is that where the 20% than last year, when total murders were up 50% on the previous year. it seems likely much of the sur

this is the reaction from the mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot.nderstanding of this incident continues to evolve, this remains a complicated and nuanced story, and will must proceed with deep empathy and calm. and importantly, peace. patrick smith is a criminaljustice reporter with wbez. i asked him what happened. police responded to the little village neighbourhood here in chicago, because of an aler of shots being fired. it shows the police officer chasing the 13—year—old, adam toledo, prosecutors saying that an adult he was with handed a gun to him, and you can see it, you can see and hear the officer telling the boy to stop and after a brief chase, he does stop, as he is directed, and then there is a freeze—frame shared by the police department which shows him with a gun in his hand, behind his back, but the officer tells him to show his hands, raised his hands and he raises his hands up and as you heard the attorney say, it does not appear there is a gun in his hand but his hands are being raised above his head. there have been appeals for ca

the city's mayor, lori lightfoot, appealed for calm before the footage was released.test. chicago police officer chases 13—year—old adam toledo down a dark alley before shooting him once in the chest. the boy's actions at that moment had become a source of contention. initially it was claimed he was holding a gun, but body can footage appears to show no weapon is visible —— body camera footage. —— shows no west ms visible as the boy raises his hand. —— no weapon is visible. raises his hand. -- no weapon is visible-— is visible. those photos speak for himself. _ is visible. those photos speak for himself. adam _ is visible. those photos speak for himself. adam at - is visible. those photos speak for himself. adam at his - is visible. those photos speak for himself. adam at his last. for himself. adam at his last second of life did not have a gun in his hand. the officer screamed at him, show me your hands, adam complied, turned around, his hands were empty, when he was shot in the chest at the hands of the officer. after the shooting, the policeman calls for an ambulan

level of murder and crimes only gets worse yet somehow with all of this happening, chicago mayor lori lightfoot has taken bold action, she wants to require that police obtain permission from their supervisors before they can start chasing down suspect on foot. that is going to work well and she's not alone. new york state attorney general letitia james proposed new york city police cease altogether routine traffic stops. berkeley california already bad offices for making stops for many traffic offenses in cities like lansing, michigan, dc following suit. >> you've got to show the law enforcement wants work hand in glove on those matters that improve the system, not stopping people because the taillight is out, not stopping people because their license is expired. this continues the discredited approach of broken windows in 1990s policeing, this needs to happen on a broad basis all across the nation. >> is this what they are doing in san francisco, petty crimes don't matter, but, go to the bathroom in the streets, all fine as long as we feel good about each other. bear in mind should be george f

laura: it seems mayor lori lightfoot was essentially siding with the police in this case but as the fewer continued to build her tone changed and she became the same person who never misses an opportunity to attack the police. >> we live in a city that is traumatized by a long history of police violence and misconduct so we don't have enough information to be the judge and jury on this particular situation, it is certainly understandable why so many of our residents are seeing about too familiar surge of outrage and pain. laura: your reaction to the mayor's involvement. >> outrage and pain and told us in the same statement she wanted to get the person who gave him the gun. we know who the person was who gave him the gun, the person he was with. why doesn't she talked to her buddy tim fox the prosecutor, and file felony charges against the person who was with him. that is the person that should be charged in this case and once again the city of chicago says we need to stop the violence. we have a shooting, a murder every 11 hours in the city, a shooting every 2 hours in the city and they t
