>> well, reverend sharpton, thank you for having me this evening. the 50th anniversary of the home rule act. congress, back in 1973, delegated to the district of columbia the authority, to legislate on local matters affecting the residents of the district of columbia. and congress said in that 1973 home all act that the d.c. council to the maximum extent possible would legislate on local affairs. now, to be sure, under the constitution, congress still has some ability to oversee our affairs and the district of columbia. but for the past many years, that authority to enact local law has been well handled by council. in fact, if the resolutions of the house passed last week, were to be passed by the senate and not vetoed by the president, it will be the first time in 30 years that local d.c. laws have been overturned by a federal government. >> wow. you know, republicans were most vocal in their opposition to the new criminal code. 31 democrats also voted against the revisions. do you think they are legitimate concerns with the plan, and how should th

what reverend sharpton underscored today, that brutal paradox, is at the very progress made by to dr. lauren luther king junior has now been undercut by an act of vicious, if you will, renunciation of the very fundamental structure of democracy, and of racial loyalty. the win, -- which displaced those together is especially important. here were five black cups who beat to death a black man. as vice president kamala harris said, at the hands and feet of black man who were up stencil brothers to this black man, who struggled -- which vladimir luther made possible there very jobs, undercut the people that he loved. it is a jarring reminder of how complicated these issues are. >> i want to get deeper into that. you mentioned the phrase racial loyalty, and in fact, reverend sharpton spoke about the insulting nature of it being five black men. in addition, of course, and it should be not lost on anybody, i know it's not lost on you as well, the power dynamic of an abuse of power, and those that are powerful, and also who are black. listen to what he mentioned about the particular insult of

reverend al sharpton will deliver the eulogy. last night the family gathered with reverend al sharpton at the historic church of god and christ in memphis and where martin luther king jr. delivered his final speech the night before he was assassinated. >> because we will continue in tyre's name to head up, that's why we wanted to start this right on this sacred ground. this is holy ground, and his family now is ours, and they're in the hands of history. >> reverend sharpton will be a guest later on morning joe. meanwhile there are new details about the immediate medical response of the violent beating of nichols by police officers. also more questions about the now disbanded unit and what those four officers once belonged to. correspondent priscilla thompson has more. >> reporter: new questions about the disbanded memphis police department's scorpion unit, whose officers violently beat tyre nichols. nichols family attorney, ben crump, says there's more victims. >> there's a brother who said four or five days before this happened

i met sharpton when he was going up. -- yes.not as large as you think. we ran into one another, we were comrades. jesse jackson, and a young, myself, reverend sharpton. all of us have roles to play, even today. >> even today. so, i guess, first of all, what role do you think the current civil rights leadership should be playing as it relates to everything that has happened in our community right now? we are doing this series while people are literally fighting -- >> black history is american history. these people talk about banning books, changing the curriculum, so you can't teach about slavery and black history. that will harm everyone. everybody needs to know the truth. the bible says the truth will set you free. this is no time -- to answer your question, we need the civil rights movement more in 2023 than we did in the 1960s. 63, that is when dr. king made his march on washington i have a dream speech. this marks 60 years. look how far we have. come we have come a long way, but we still have a long ways to go. >> doctor cha

al sharpton makes the point this is another victim to police brutality and to the failure of changinghe system which has not happened yet in his mind. in the minds of many experts. no matter what the color of their skin. that congress, the white house, washington failed to push through the george floyd policing act which would have so is the thinking provided substantial police reform. this is what we will hear in this ceremony that tyre nichols was not a victim in vain. that there will be many people trying to fight on and making police reform, real police reform and accountability happening so to prevent future incidents like that. >> families of others killed at the hands of the police, namely george floyd are also there. tyre nichols has already become a symbol of their common struggle. >> yeah, he is the new face. george floyd -- it is three years ago he was killed. we all know. and he became the face of the black lives matter movement which called america and large parts of the world. now tyre nichols is the flag holder so to speak. the renewed face. george floyd is not forgotte

a sharpton say that now is the time for change. that is something they have heard before.rticular case has reverberated around america. as a result, it has increased optimism that some form of legislation may be able to be passed. laura: but as you are saying from all of this talk about gislation, the u.s. vice president was emphatic, saying we will not be denied, it is not negotiable. isn't the political reality that in washington, the republicans hold the house and they are lukewarm on the need r policing reform? sarah: exactly. she says policing reform is nonnegotiable, but negotiating is the only way they are going to pass a bill on policing reform. there is one in congress, it is named after george floyd. it aims to increase police accountability. but, it stalled in congress because it can't get enough republican support. after tyre nichols' death come across party talks begin in the senate in an attempt to revive the george floyd policing act. the two sides are pretty far apart. they can't find a way to agree on getting rid of qualified immunityor police officers, wh
