take for example the family of tamir rice.s killed by a white officer in cleveland after he was seen brand issuing a toy gun at a local park. as soon as police crews arrived on scene, an officer hopped out and within seconds fired shots at the boy. he later died. at that moment he did not have a toy gun in his hand and nobody was near him. the entire event was captured on surveillance video. attorneys for the rice family along with a delegation of lawmakers are urging the u.s. attorney general merrick garland to reopen the seven-year-old case and consider charges against the officers involved. the family notes the official doj investigation was opened under the obama administration but not completed before the end of his term and then falling under the trump justice department. federal prosecutors said late last year they would not bring charges against the two officers involved. they claimed the video of the shooting was too low quality for them to conclusively establish what had happened. attorneys for rice additionally said

garland urging him to reopen the civil rights investigation into the november 2014 death of 12 year-old tamir rice, samarra, rice and her family deeply appreciate senator brown and the ohio delegation of members of congress. >> weighing in with the department of justice. to me it was outside of the could tell recreation center when someone called police saying he was waving a gun at people walking by, although the caller told the dispatcher it was probably a juvenile with a fake gun that information was never relayed to responding officers. 2 cleveland police officers frank garmback and timothy loehmann arrived on scene and according to investigators, within seconds, officer loehmann believing tamir was reaching for the weapon shot and killed him.

we certainly agree with tamir rice's mother, because enough is enough. we talked about tamir rice for years and here we are now another 13-year-old, you mentioned it, with adam toledo, here we are with daunte wright and andre field and casey goodson. so we've put together a plan for us to speak out loud and clearly and push our gun violence legislation. jim clyburn has been out and on the stump with it. we were able to pass closing the loophole. we have to look at the assault weapons. we have to look at the ammunition that all of these young folks have had, histories of mental health that their parents and everyone in the community has known, so we have a straightforward agenda. the legislation is in committees. we passed it out. it's on the house floor, and yes, you talked about it, it's the senate. what we're very fortunate that we not only have now senator cory booker, but we also have senator rafael warner, both who joined us at the white house. so we know it's a give and take, but i am very comfortable and confident from our leadership and the work

if we look back to michael brown's death in 2014, and the death of eric garner and tamir rice and othersn the aftermath of that, the institute of justice did a study and showed that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body worn cameras, training for police, what's called crisis intervention team training on handling individuals whose -- who have mental health problem to read that has -- mental health problems. in the aftermath of george floyd 's tragic death, there has been movement forward. national conference and state legislatures have said that 30 states have passed 140 laws or a little more than that in the policing area just sent last may. the terrain has shifted now because despite all of the attention that has been focused on this area by states and local governments in changing laws. the attention with the verdict last week of not only our country but the international, global community has been fixed on why policing, in their view, is still

for example, tamir rice, had those officers not driven right up to tamir rice, tamir rice would be aliveoday. utilize covered concealment, and if you don't have enough numbers to deal with the situation safely -- training is a big part of it but so is accountability. when officers are trained to do things a certain way and they fail to follow that, you've got to hold them accountable. we've got a lot of work to do but it starts with policing again. we also have to re-imagine policing. that's why we keep calling for president biden to put together a blue ribbon commission to re-imagine policing, re-imagine public safety, re-imagine criminal justice, and re-imagine public health and mental health, which is a big part, not to mention education, of what we need to do to deal with these tragedies. >> so, chief scott, let's talk about the ma'khia bryant shooting. after the shooting of ma'khia bryant, the columbus interim police chief said an officer faced with someone employing deadly force can respond with deadly force. so given what we have seen so far in the video from that case, does that

we'll talk to the cousin of emmett till and tamir rice. and the january 6th insurrection was essentially planned online and in plain soon. an nbc investigation proves just that. yet u.s. intelligence and law enforcement failed to prevent it. all those stories and more when "velshi" continues. there are many reasons for waiting to visit your doctor right now. but if you're experiencing irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or light-headedness, don't wait to contact your doctor. because these symptoms could be signs of a serious condition like atrial fibrillation. which could make you about five times more likely to have a stroke. your symptoms could mean something serious, so this is no time to wait. talk to a doctor, by phone, online, or in-person.

if we look back to michael brown's death in ferguson in 2014, and the death of eric garner, tamir rice, and others in the aftermath of that, the geary institute of justice did a study and found that 34 states and the district of columbia passed 79 laws on police reform in the two years after ferguson. so there was a flurry of activity at that time to pass laws on things like body cameras, training for police, crisis intervention team training on handling individuals with mental health problems, so there has been forward movement of some kind in recent years. but in the aftermath of george floyd's tragic death last summer, there has been movement forward. the national conference of state legislatures as said 30 states have passed 140 laws, or a little more, in the policing area just since last may. but i said that the terrain has shifted now because, despite all the attention that has been focused on this area by states and also local governments in changing laws, the attention to the verdict last week of not only our country, but the international global community, has really been fixe

tamir rice has a 12-year-old playing in the playground was his civil right.rgument she could raise there's been a litany of cases. there was case of a plan and a woman shot at over 100 times in their own vehicle by the cleveland police. there's a case of this being reopened by this present attorney general. he spoke virtually at our national action network convention. you see the decent decrees spoke out, there's a pattern and practice of bad policing in cleveland and tamir rice was a victim of that and his mother has been singularly vocal in trying to raise the issues for her son in an issue he was not an isolated case but he was a case that we should expect this new administration to look into. i think she is right. i'm not talked to her about it but i support it 100%. >> we'll stay on it. thank you both so much for spending some time with us. up next, reporting from the capitol hill complex. 100 days since the attack on it. what we have since learned about what happened that day and what's changed and what hasn't. that's next. what's changed and what hasn'

when you think about tamir rice, he was a 12-year-old boy playing in the park. alton sterling was selling bootleg cds. eric gardner was selling loosy cigarettes. walter scott had unpaid child support. george floyd passed a counterfeit $20 bill that he didn't even know was counterfeit. none of these crimes are death penalty crimes. however, they rise to that level join a black man in particular interacting with law enforcement. and you have to ask why. you asked an interesting question at the top in conversations you were having with chris. and my response would be, we have to call it what it is. this is trial of derek chauvin. what the criminal defense attorney is trying to do, i am one, trying the put george floyd on trial. and you're starting to see that clash. it is this reasonable fear of the black man. whether or not it is the witnesses that he tried to make angry and aggressive last week when he was crossing them, or whether or not it was george floyd, he is trying to get in the jurors minds that these black bodies are big, violent, hyper sexualized, they

you see faces like breonna taylor, tamir rice, again, names that make a moment like this so much more significant because in many of these cases, police officers were never even brought to tile, much less proven guilty by any stretch. as part of this reflection, you've seen people of all ages come writing messages. in this case, just insubscribing a heart next to this central landmark here. even others writing messages to george floyd. and so, again, during the day and in the immediate aftermath of the verdict, it was a lot of celebration and disbelief that this could be a possibility much less a resentment. tonight the mood is a little more somber. the music has stopped and it seems many are reflecting on what this means and what it is going to mean tomorrow post-verdict. >> give me your thoughts, omar, almost a year after this took place. you're standing pretty much in the same place you were nearly a year ago. >> reporter: yeah, don. it's pretty surreal. i was just talking to my crew beforehand. it was may 26th, 2020, the day after george floyd died that my team and i were dispatch

i'm not even addressing the younger people like trayvon martin and tamir rice. all these incidences about people wondering about the humanity extended or denied to people in this country. what we're seeing that is so jarring is the frequency not by which the idea that it has never happened before, but the idea there is a microscope on it now. as i say, light is the best antiseptic. i certainly hope it moves the needle forward so that we don't hear about this anymore because it's not happening, not because the cameras turn away. >> mayor, that's why you see with the passion and the emotion around what happened in ohio, because people see another black life lost, and, listen, there are nuances, and it needs to be investigated. but because of what laura just said, that you see so many black lives lost at the hands of police officers, that's why people are so passionate around it regard lless of what the circumstances of the shootings are. >> that's right. and we see on the opposite bookend, we see dangerous events that happen where there's a white 62-year-old man o

the same thing happened to tamir rice.erson who called in his potential criminality said he was 20. and so there is a way that we ask young black people -- we rob them of childhood and societal protection. we particularly do this to girls. and i want to be even sharper. we were able to procure a conviction in the derek chauvin case in large part because of a girl, because of darnella frazier, who is black girl, who was traumatized, whose future has been shaped by watching the cops murder this man. and then on the day that there was victory, that she might have relief, she had to get this story that this black girl in ohio was murdered by the cops. we need to begin asking ourselves what does it mean to build a world that is safe for black girls because if we center them in our discourse and don't just keep using them to expose all of the problems in our society, we would actually do better around policing, state violence, the providing of a social safety net, better educational services, all of the things that our social ju

you can go through tamir rice, who was a 12-year-old child playing with a toy gun police officer jumpsfficers are ever convicted of killing someone, let alone killing somebody black. so, i tend it to think when a police officer is charged, i steel myself for them to not be charged. and then if they're charged, i steel myself emotionally for them to be acquitted cause that's normally what happens. so the fact that this was such a lopsided case, watching it every day, the quality of the prosecution versus the sort of phoned in strange quality of the defense, even that doesn't guarantee a conviction when it's police. >> jimmy: right. >> but the fact that i think you had ten police officers, including the police chief, testify against this officer, which i've never seen, the fact you had so much unanimity of police experts testifying against this police officer, it did feel like the momentum was going in the prosecution's direction. but i didn't dare assume that that was going to be the outcome. >> jimmy: right. it's hard to imagine what the family of george floyd is going through right no

watching the killing of 12-year-old tamir rice, 17-year-old laquan mcdonald.iately thought of when i saw this video footage of adam toledo. young people, innocent teenagers who have no idea their lives were about to be taken from them by these officers. this devastating. it is absolutely devastating. but i will say also that we have seen a lot of attention to the killings of african-americans recently. adam toledo is mexican american i believe. i am glad that we're are finally getting some national attention on police brutality and killings of latinos. this has been going on for far too long. i could say more about that, about the history of police brutality of police killings of latinos, not only in chicago, but other cities around the country. amy: why don't you talk abt that now. >> sure. as i said, this is not a new phenomenon. going back even to the 1920's, mexican immigrants in chicago complained about the prejudice treatment they received from police officers to how they treated polish immigrants, for example. but most of the examples i have looked at a

like tamir rice. and, of course, breonna taylor. and pamela turner. so, we're going to focus. some differences, in positions, with republicans and democrats, on this bill. i think that we can convince more colleagues, in this backdrop of this court decision. where americans decided that an officer, officer chauvin, deserved to be found guilty on all-three counts. that should propel members of congress to say where america is, and we should do the right thing with this legislation. >> congresswoman sheila jackson lee, i appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >>> coming up. a closer look at the minneapolis teenager who recorded that cellphone video of derek chauvin kneeling on the neck of george floyd, murdering him. shared online. literally, changed the course of the conversation, in this country. >> get in the car. >> i can't move. >>> when a teenager named darnella frazier hit record on her cell phone as george floyd was gasping for his last breath outside cup foods little did she know her actions and impact of the video would have. it changed the conversation

trained people don't shoot at a young 12-year-old boy named tamir rice. we're sending you to the corner. your getting your punishment at the corner of the newest jail we can find. so as we celebrate this young man's life, 20 years old, not even reaching his mid 20s. his mother and father heartbroken. his siblings, heartbroken, but they will be comforted knowing that because of this sacrifice that it's going to change the laws of the land. children unborn is going to know his name. governors here, congress people here, senators here for you, daunte, because you're the prince that made us all come together. they stopped traffic today all the way through minneapolis, folk couldn't drive nowhere because they had to say hail to the prince. they shouldn't have done what they done. we going to stop minneapolis today because a prince is on his way to his rest. and as you rest, there's a resting place. there's a martyr's bench, take your seat, daunte. tell george floyd who you are. take your seat, daunte, shake hands with philando castillo. take your seat -- take

i've been hearing names of other people who got killed by the police, including breonna taylor and tamire. is so rare for an officer to be convicted. people feel so hurt by what this country endured over the last year. people started gathering here because of the death of george floyd, and now people are here celebrating, but still very much hurt and traumatize. judy: of course, your regular beat is the white house where we saw president biden earlier today essentially pronounce derek chauvin guilty before we even heard of the jury's verdict. he said the verdict in his mind was very clear, and we understand shortly after it was announced, he called the george floyd family. yamiche: we are told the president, as well as the vice president, watched the verdict in real-time, and soon after, he phoned the brother of george floyd. earlier today, the president said he was praying for the right verdict. he said it was overwhelming that this officer should be convicted. the white house was trying to be cautious after the president said that, but we can report that the president feels relieved. h

we have some terrible things happen out here culminating in the shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice. >came to see me and said we need to study this. i said we won't study. we'll start a task force. the next day we announced it. we had a collaborative made up of police, community, academics, people in the clergy. we had everybody involved. a few members of the legislature, public safety. they put together a collaborative that came together with unanimous recommendations. training on the use of deadly forceful the use of any force that officers need to be trained to those standards. they need to be adhered to them. that's the way it has to be. no question about it. recruiting and hiring, with a val demings just talked. about police in community, integrating the police in the community. the collection of data to make sure there is no bias in terms of police work. what's happening in the country is the training is not adequate. and i heard from somebody today that that officer that thought she pulled a taser and used a gun, what the officer said to me, or a law enforcement officer said to

through these killings by police of black folks, michael brown, the officer was acquitted, eric garner, tamire, walter scott, the officer was convicted but only because the feds came for him. freddie gray, there were charges, but the prosecution was unsuccessful, stephon clark. we could go on and on, breonna taylor, remember that infamous no charge. the track record is so bad that i wonder how much cynicism we can bring to the fact that there were charges. that doesn't seem like it's comforting at least to me. when you talk to people on the ground there, are the charges themselves in any way comforting? >> well, do you know what people are talking about here, they're talking about mohammed noor who shot fatally justine, a blond white woman in minneapolis. he was charged with third degree homicide and he was convicted. there was the anticipation that if you're making a parallel, there might be a third degree homicide charge here. when that charge came down, i raised an eyebrow. quite frankly i think that this is not going to do much to take the edge off of -- where people are. they've been tal

training, to community policing funding, and it has not led to a stop of the deaths of people, like tamire, george floyd, breonna taylor, eric garner, in the names that we all know. so my standard is are we making real substance reforms. that we can say are really going to make a difference, in accountability in our country. i am encouraged by the conversations right now. and i'm hard at work. this is been the center of my efforts for many days now. to try to get something delivered on the president's desk. >> okay senator cory booker, thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you very. much >> just ahead republican john kennedy tries to go toe-to-toe is d.c. rooms on voters suppression laws. shockingly does not go so well for him. that amazing exchange next. exchange next exchange next try febreze light. it eliminates odors with no heavy perfumes in light scents you'll love. febreze light. microban 24 doesn't just sanitize and stop. it keeps killing bacteria for 24 hours. just spray and let dry to form a shield that's proven to keep killing bacteria for 24 hours. touch after touch. microban

he came up during the time of trayvon martin, philando castillo, tamir rice, countless names and faces who we have seen die at the hands of law enforcement. we want to put the onus on this kid, multiple police officers armed with guns and tasers, they had this kid's license plate, his license, his registration, they could have found him easily. somehow the conversation has turned to what could this kid have done to prevent his own death? why is the onus on us to stay alive. i have seen police officers deescalate with white people more than i can remember. i hope people don't take away from this segment that somehow the blame is at the foot of the victim. in no other circumstance do we say that. do we say this person caused their own death. i refuse to say that here and now. i would just follow up to the point i made before, because i think there are a lot of people who are outside the community who have the temerity to make some of these comments and say, you know, why aren't people happy with this justice? this is what you've all been marching for. like minutes after this happened we

you know, you think about what happened with our army lieutenant or with what happened with tamir rice. even if you comply or philando castile, you still don't get the same benefits that other people in this country get. and so, you know, this is a tough day, but i think that ms. dorsey will agree with me, the first emotions that most black people in this country feel today is one of pure exhaustion. >> sergeant, to you, obviously the question is the one that john raised which is how could that even happen? how could you shoot a gun and think it was a taser. but can we step before that. why was such aggression used in the first place? when they pulled him over even if there's an outstanding warrant, why such aggression from the beginning that escalated into this? >> because police officers by and large have come to learn that there is not a consequent kmiz rat with their bad act. the police chief is being intellectually dishonest and disingenuous when he tries to tell us that this was a mistake. this wasn't a mistake. it was murder. as a 20-year veteran patrol officer, i can promise yo

complain yanths would include eric -- complaintians would include eric garner, at that myrrh rice -- tamir rice, beona taylor, george floyd. i rise in the name of liberty and justice for all we have reached a point in our history wherein there is one case now that seems to have reached the pinnacle of the system such that everyone is waiting to see how this case will eventually address liberty and justice for all. one of the complaints is that in this country we have allowed arresting officers that we confer enormous power on, literally, the power to execute when necessary. but the question is will these arresting officers not only have the power to arrest but also the power to be judged, jury, prosecutor, and executioner? this is the question before the court of world opinion. we have a case that embraces decades, perhaps even centuries, of misdeeds. my hope is that we will receive a just ruling. my prayer is that if there is not a just ruling, we will have peace for -- peaceful protests. i believe in peaceful protests. i have gone to jail participating in peaceful protests. i have gone t
