of new york last night has led to yet another war of words between mayor deblasio and new york state governor andrew cuomo, cuomo saying bluntly today that the mayor and the new york police department did not do its job last night. he said he is outraged and disappointed at all the looting incidents that happened. in a press conference today, he revealed that he is offered the help of the state police and the national guard but mayor deblasio refused that help because he thinks that the new york police department can handle it. in all, 700 people were arrested last night we'll see what tonight brings. >> ann, it was interesting to listen to the governor saying he didn't think that the naegsal guard trained for urban situations like this even if they were sent in and nypd better equipped and then asked if he would overrule the mayor, the only way to do that would be to remove him from office. >> reporter: he did and then raised that issue and then tamped that one down, too, batted it away saying it would only make a bad situation already worse. but what he was very forceful about is suggesting or basically telling the mayor and the nypd to do their jobs to stop these looting inciden

police reform, and how to achieve it. the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, has signed an executive order requiring hundreds of the state's police departmentss a lawyer and legal analyst who has taken civil and criminal cases against the new york police department. he explained the possible impact of the reforms. it will have a significant impact. as you noted, as of at least yesterday those records with respects to a lot of corrections officers police officers and the like were essentially secret. they were unable to be accessed by the public at large, by the press, the by those who would otherwise wish to hold police accountable. it was difficult to get into the records when we spoke about some of the officers who had allegations of misconduct were substantiated, or excessive force that were substantiated, and some of the underlying issues, it was difficult in new york to figure out who the bad officers were on who the good ones were. just on that. what about the argument that these need to be kept restricted, not completely private but they need to be restricted to protect from matters of privacy, due process? i mean, no different than a

national security adviser say he didn't believe there was systemic racism in police departments across the country. the top new york officer told tony earlier in this broadcast he didn't see systemic racism in the new york police department. if we're not hearing officials consider that possibility, how do we correct it? >> i don't even under how he could utter those words. the fbi put out a report just a couple of years ago raising the alarm about the infiltration of police forces by white supremacist groups. we know there's race jim in police departments. it's been documented by the nation's highest law enforcement office. this is up to citizens to hold law enforcement accountable and politicians accountable who want to downplay what is clearly happening. it's not saying every police officer is racist. that's you. but there's a deeply embedded problem with racism in the police department. in fact, the role that police departments have played has been to enforce racial laws and racial policies against black americans and we still see that in how policing happens. >> all right. nikole hannah-jones, thank you so much
