louisville, breonna taylor. if the disparities are known, why do black people have to die on camera in order for the department of justice to look into those disparities? why does this big exclamation point have to happen before this work starts? >> that's such a great question, victor. i have the exact same question today. i mean, isn't it a shame, isn't it a tragedy that it takes one of these events to draw enough public attention and government attention to police departments that need reform? because there are so many other police departments around the country where they've not had ayla kwan mcdonald, they have not had an incident that necessarily gathered headlines but still need reformed so badly. in the case of newark, i can tell you firsthand, it does make a difference. these investigations take a long time, a lot of resources but you can see improvement and change. as someone said earlier during the press conference, sometimes when you see one police department making change for the better, that could

louisville has been in the news. obviously we know that the last year because of breonna taylor's tragedy. there's no surprise this happened today. again, the reason -- one of the reasons why we hired chief shields, she's a reformer. the more tools we can have to understand where our gaps are and where reform needs to take place, we're going to welcome those. this isn't a win-lose type of things in terms of lmpd against anybody, this is us seeking a win-win for the citizens for the police department, for the united states. so many police departments going through struggles right now. so i'm -- i consider it an opportunity, a privilege to be in this spot to be able to define what the future of policing looks like. where every one in the city would say it's fair and just. no police department can really say that in america right now. so for us to be in that position to have that opportunity and see the kind of development that can take place with our police department, with our citizens, to co-produce that, that is an

pedro: so those investigations, the minneapolis and louisville police departments, what do think about the justice department role? and can you talk more about these practice investigations he spoke of? laurie: i have worked very closely with law enforcement over my career. i was with the justice department for 10 years as assistant attorney general, and i worked with state and local law enforcement across the country, and with the international association of chiefs of police. i agree with attorney general garland that law enforcement, particularly on the front lines, have extraordinarily challenging jobs that call for very difficult decisions, frequently made in difficult terrain and on split-second required decision-making. at the same time, the justice department as important role. i think attorney general garland is making a correct decision in reinstituting the pattern or practice lawsuits or investigations, i should say, in this case, that he has done in the minneapolis case, and hearing the announcement this week in louisville, kentucky. these investigations and lawsuits were a

louisville is a perfect example.nock warrants after breonna taylor's death, claimed they weren't executing a no knock warrant when she was killed. nothing about the reforms would lead to her still being alive or other people surviving encounters like that with the police, all the more reason for the federal government to come in, do an investigation, make recommendations on what needs to be changed to keep people safer. >> we will stay on this story. david henderson, thank you for spending time with us today on it. >>> when we return, it is going to be a challenge for every one of us. how to make sense of some of the trauma, abrupt changes from the last year as we move closer to returning to a new normal. we try to get advice and answers about that from a real expert nengs. next. next good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.
