guest: tamir rice did not break a lot. when i think about the victims of police violence, these are not people who broke laws. they were black in america and they were victims of police violence. i'm willing to have a conversation, but i also want to talk about the facts. when you say people broke the law, that is simply not true. i push you to do more homework before you make accusations. host: talk about the evidence. talk about the facts a little bit more. 21styou look at what the police task force commissioned it, when you look at what you will have put together, what have you found about people getting pulled over? you look at the report about the ferguson police department which shows a disproportionate policing of black people. that was important for people to see because we've been telling the truth about police all our lives. the truth is becoming mainstream because of social media. the doj report productively highlights the over policing up like community's. that is a pet or have seen play out across the country.

in terms of self-responsibility, tamir rice was -- he was a kid.a jones was asleep in her grandmother's lap and was killed. rakiah was responsible. john crawford was in walmart and had a gun that walmart sold, a bb gun and was responsible. he wasn't pointing it at anybody or threatened anybody. i'm looking to see a state that is responsible. what does it mean to have a state that's responsible for the actions it does and holds government agents responsible for when they hold people? i'm looking for like structural responsibility and a way that is currently not present. >> garrett is next, cleveland, ohio. hi, garrett. >> caller: hello. thank you for taking my call. i admire your tenacity on this issue, but my only worry being an urban republican from cleveland is that your movement might be shaking up our communities too much. and -- >> in what way, garrett? in what way? >> caller: i think it's the economic costs. for example, the doj is lodging investigations in cleveland, and i agree that police reform needs to be done, but this is going to be ve

together, we mourned tamir rice, eric garner, freddie gray.lazoned on our hearts. we have seen their faces, heard their grieving families. we have seen a massacre in charleston. and black churches set on fire today in 2015. thankfully, tragedy is not all we have seen. yes, the confederate battle flag came down finally in south carolina. [applause] families of the charleston victims reached out with extraordinary grace to the man who killed their loved ones. and president obama delivered a eulogy that sounded as though it had come straight from angels, ending with amazing grace. [applause] young people have taken to the streets dignified and determined, urging us to affirm the basic fact that black lives matter.. [applause] and because of people across this country sharing their stories with courage and strength a growing number of americans are realizing what many of you have been saying for a long time. we cannot go on like this. we are better than this. things must change. now, it is up to us to build on that momentum and we all have to do o

in memory of our brothers and sisters, such as michael brown, eric garner, tamir rice, sandra bland and so many others we will say their names because their lives matter. we say black lives matter, because every life matters. you know that while police tactics may have been the spark that ignited explosions in places like ferguson and baltimore, poverty, hopelessness and joblessness, they are the tinder, they are the kerosene. it is time we come together as a nation and demand reform not only in criminal justice but in policing and economics and education. these issues are inex trickablely intertwined. the national urban league movement will be working with the next president to implement reform that is meaningful, that can help us all create a, stronger, more equitable and more inclusive america. we look forward to hearing from each candidate and after a few words from our chairman, we will be off to the races and our program will be underway. thank you once again. i ask you to please join me in welcoming, michael naidor chairman of the board of trustees of the national urban league. >

in the last 6 months there has been eric garner kaijeme powell john crawford, akai gurley, tamir rice tanesha anderson darrien hunt and ezell ford. that's just this year - many more names fill the mouths of protestors here on the streets: sean bell...oscar grant...rekia boyd...aiyana stanley jones. [crowd chanting] you can't stop the revolution! you can't stop the revolution! you can't stop the revolution! >> this is the new civil rights movement that's happening right now. and ground zero is the policing of black communities. there's no question about it. people are drawing connections that we drew 50 years ago in the civil rights movement that this is a societal problem. this is not just a police department problem. and it's not just a county problem and it's not just a sheriff problem. this is a societal problem because it happens all over the country. it happens constantly. a recent propublica investigation found that a black male teenager is 21 times more likely to be shot by police than a white male teenager. >> why does everyone who look like me gotta be criminal? there's no ho

there is staten island,ar eric garner in cleveland, 12-year-old tamir rice, in baltimore, freddie gray and others. is it that the system does not get it. or is the problem too complex? >> i think it's a little bit of both. i think that the protests have been reactive, not proactive or transformative. when we see what happened in terms of the conversation, it's about nicer police, not talking about lesser police. the conversations are around body cameras. that's fine, but let's not think about how we can hold the police accountable. regardless whether or not there's a body camera. if we look at eric garner's case, we see body cameras don't solve the problem. what we have seen is a broken system, and be really need to think about how we are creating a new ideas on the stays. >> in order to fix the system, you have to have the system as it is, not as you want it the to be. what is the system as it is, versus what you might want is to be. >> i would rather have it what i want is to be, i don't want to take for things. this is why i'm an organizers, right, and why my members across the coun

advice saying activists should focus less on michael brown and more of shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice criticized for the implication and i sent a letter to him on this program because the implication seemed to be the only way to make victims of police violence worthy was by erasing traces of foulble humanity in their lives, maybe in the case of sandra bland. last week the vacuum of unanswered questions about what exactly happened to sandra bland was filled with unsubstantiated theories among them her death was the direct result of someone else's actions rather than her wrongdoing as the medical examiner concluded. we don't know if the investigation will agree with the autopsy results but if sandra blands death turns out not to fit the perfect narrative how police violence claims black lives, it would make her no less the victim of an imperfect and injus system. joining me is nina turner and i wanted to ask you about the this a bit because it feels like we're looking for perfect victims and if sandra bland died at her hand the system is cullble, responsible for her death. >> professor,

sandra bland, michael brown, air guard, walter scott -- eric garner, walter scott, tamir rice .e know their names. each of them died unarmed at the hands of police officers or in police custody. violence ever tally of any kind, particularly at the hands of law enforcement's want to protect and serve the communities, is unacceptable and must not be tolerated. we must reform our criminal justice system. likewise do matter and we must value -- black lives do matter and we must value black lives. we must move away from the militarization of police force. you have all seen on tv, this heavy equipment. it looks like they are invading the city, it is like they're going to war. it is not a single police departments should be sending around this country. police should be part of the community, not an oppressive force. we need a justice department which takes the lead in working with states and localities to train police forces. force should be a last resort, not the first resort. for people who have committed crimes that have landed them in jail, there needs to be a path .ack from prison

it's the urgency of tamir rice who was 12 years old shot literally for playing and it's the urgency of sandra bland, the case that everybody knows. so temper -- i would say temper your perspective with the urgency that black lives are actively under attack and we are in a terrible war with our own country, african-americans are americans and we're not treated like that. we're not treated as if black lives matter and when people say "all lives matter" it's a violent statement because the only time that people say "all lives matter" is in opposition to black lives matter and it's the most violent statement of love that you can do. it's like "all lives matter!" yes, we understand that, it's true, but in this country for the long time the united states acts like black lives don't matter. >> julius jones, daunasia yancy, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you. >>> coming up, no claim of responsibility, but thai police are searching for this man. take a look. he's believed to be connected to yesterday's bombing in bangkok. we'll have the latest on the investigation. if you have modera

together we have mourned tame your rice -- tamir rice, walter, freddie gray, and most recently dubose. these names we have heard their grieving families. we have seen ambassador in charleston and black churches set on fire today, in 2015. but thankfully, tragedy is not only have seen. yes, the confederate battle flag came down finally in south carolina. families of the charleston victim reached out with grace to the person who terrorize their loved ones and president obama's eulogy was delivered with grace. young people have thing to the streets, dignified and determined, urging us to affirm the basic facts that black lives matter. because of people across this country sharing their stories with courage and strength, a growing number of americans are realizing what many of you have been saying for a long time. we can't go on like this. we are better than this. things must change. it is up to us to build on that momentum. we all have to do our part. but those of us who strive to lead have a special responsibility. i am very pleased that many presidential candidates will be here today t

think about it this way, tamir rice was 1, michael brown was 18, eric garner was older. the point being here is that we have multi-generation victims we need multi-generation advocates. >> dickerson: along those lines. advocates, we've been talking about black lives matter and the protests at speeches, what is your feeling about that tactic? >> the point here is not how polite our activists are, how responsive our politicians are. when you have 18-year-old who is frustrated, who wants to see politicians step up and bring this tragedy to an end, you can call on them to be more polite or you can actually get something done. we're calling on congress to get something done. and. >> dickerson: debate seems to be whether it's racial issue or economic issue, bernie sanders says it's both, what's the answer? >> it is in fact both. here is the reality. when african american men 21 times more likely to lose their lives at the hands of the police, then their white counter parts there is element of race here. as we saw in baltimore, when neighborhoods go up in flames, young people l

black lives matter which grew out of the deadly police shootings of michael brown, eric garner and tamir rice a few. >> if you do not listen to her.... >> while we saw it in big cities like seattle and d.c. black lives matter is a national movement. it's even in des moines, iowa, the capitol of a state with a black population of only 3% according to the 2010 census. 18-year-old activist kia carter has helped organize several black lives matter protests in des moines. we met with her ahead of bernie sanders' appearance to learn more about the motivations behind this movement. >> i don't want people to think that. we are not angry because we are. i don't want people to think that our anger permits violence because it didn't. i also don't want people to think that come compliance is the way to go about things. so in my work and what i want to do here in iowa, i want to give black folks a sense of belonging. >> as we rode the bus to the state fairgrounds to hear senator sanders speak, kia explained she wants people to feel comfortable calling attention to what she sees as a crisis in america righ

there was the shooting of tamir rice, the 12-year-old boy killed by police.he incident in cincinnati where the policeman at the campus there was charged with murder. are you doing enough in ohio to ensure that routine traffic stops, routine 911 calls, don't end up with dead bodies? >> yeah, jake, i'm glad you asked that. first of all, we have a thing called the miracle of america and we need to make sure all americans feel they can be part of it. and there are many in the african-american community who think that the government doesn't just not work for them but works against them. i created a collaborative, very broad, nina turner, a former state senator ran against republicans, was one of the chairpeople of it along with my head of public safety. we have community leaders, we have ministers, we've got law enforcement, and we came out with a unanimous recommendation to create a statewide policy on the use of deadly force, and examination of recruiting and hiring practices, and now what we're doing, jake, is what's really critical. really critical, that the c

together we've mourned tamir rice and erik garner walter scott, and freddie gray and most recently, samose. these names are em blazened on our hearts. young people have taken to the streets dignifyied and derptermined urging us to acknowledge the basic fact that black lives matter. >> joining us now is the president of the national urban league. it's a pleasure to have you here. >> good to be with you. >> it's nice to see you. having five presidential candidates including leading candidates from both parties must be important to you at the urban league in terms of what you want the conference to accomplish. what did it mean to have them there. >> i think it meant these candidates are not going to either take us for granted or ignore us, and that is the constituency of the urban league. the african american community and communities of color, and to have them there, not only there but there dressing racial justice issues in economics, in police violence and criminal jus dis -- justice and voting rights these issues have not been fully aired. today was i think the beginning of these issue

it's not necessarily about michael brown, tamir rice or other so-called victims.hat it's about is the economic that's not playing out in these communities. let's face it. ferguson has not made any changes significant changes since last year and that's why app when you ethe 50 people arrested, we're not talking about street thugs. these are clergy. these are individuals that represent your community. upstanding citizens, and the reason these people are protesting and are going to continue to protest is because this government, unfortunately, has not heeded to their calls. this government, while the president is up in the new england area playing golf, cities like ferguson, missouri, is burning down. >> the argument that a lot of these guys have made is we have to improve the conditions in our locales. how should authorities or police or s.w.a.t. units in these cities, as they're girder for anniversary protests, deal with it. they must know they have to be careful and have to be able to separate the kids intending violence and those missionaries and the rest that ar

. >> we hear over and over these are trying times, from mike brown to tamir rice and even this officer in memphis yesterday, the white officer, suspect, an african-american. this man want go home to his family. this is trying times for you all. >> the heat is turned up way too high. we've been polarized in the way we see the world today that has created a toxic atmosphere. i think it's really detrimental to the whole country. >> is that part of your decision, i know people have approached you to do shows many, many times. was that the opening needed toer you to step into the talk show realm? >> i was excited to have the opportunity. i thought it was due time for me to be able to address issues that aren't always pulpit appropriate and yet they are necessary. >> what's not pulpit appropriate? >> you will get into some cracks and crevices i don't want to go to. but from the talk show we can talk from a broad array of subject, faith, family, politics, life, issues, things that concern us all. i'm just so happy to have the opportunity to have a new space to operate? >> it's interesting whe

even 12-year-old tamir rice, they treat us like men. trayvon, they say that he looked like a grown-up. our children are dangerous and we are in fear of our lives so we are justified in using deadly force. but with these body cameras, with cell phone videos, with dash cam videos, it continues to contradict the standard police narrative over and over. indid it with alisha thomas the los angeles police department and for the first time in a long time you had a cop get convicted and the judge to the maximum because it was captured on video where this sister was handcuffed and shackled and the officer kicked her in her female genitals seven times and choked her and she died in their custody. touching that not died in their custody you would believe it was business -- how did she not died in their custody you would believe it was business as usual. had she not god in their custody you would believe it was ed iness as usual -- di their custody you would believe it was business as usual. that was the first time since oscar grant that they convi

it spawned us all knowing the names eric garner, tamir rice, freddie gray, walter scott, samuel dubose them. so in essence, i hate to even ask this question because if i'm michael brown's parents i don't want to hear it this way, but did michael brown die in vain? >> no, i don't think michael brown died in vain. this is a young man who in his short time on this earth his impact is still being felt a year later after his death. what happened to mike brown that day resonated with so many people because it was another case of an unarmed young man being killed when we think there could have been deescalation tactics, it could have been another way to handle that i th incident that didn't result in anybody being hurt. so i think one of the things that's happened in the last year is to spark the conversation about how we police in this country. and that think that's an important first step. i think enough progress hasn't been made yet in the last year abry pairing some of the things we've identified with how we place the country but we've had important steps and being able to get these issue

so all they had to say, even 12-year-old tamir rice. you know, they treat us like -- trayvon.e looked like a grownup. so you have all these scenarios where they concoct in their mind where we're dangerous. our children are dangerous. and they say we felt in fear of our life so we're justified in using deadly force. but with these body cameras, with these cell phone videos, with these dash cam videos, it continues to contradict the standard police narrative over and over. it did it in alicia thomas in los angeles police department, and for the first time in a long time, i can remember, you actually had a cop get convicted and the judge give the maximum, because it was captured on video where this sister was handcuffed and shackled and the officer kicked her in her female genitals seven times and choked her, and she died in their custody. and had she not died in their custody, you would believe it was just business as usual. but once she died and that video surfaced, it was the video. and i think i'm a great lawyer, but without that video, you know they would have accepted -- >>

especially from a group called black lives matter that was formed after the shootings of michael brown, tamir rice and others. he told me that it was all about institutional racism. >> we'll speak with former white house aids about. >> on the campaign trail. >> despite congressional opposition, the defense department is looking into possible alternative to say the prison camp at guantanamo bay. they will look at damage and one in south carolina soon. bringing those prisoners to the u.s. could open up major legal consequences. >> many are protected by the policy toward guantanamo. there's a wrist between the department of defense and the white house on moving those prisoners out. we're trying to figure out whether this announcement is a p.r. exercise to show that the administration is taking the pledge to shut guantanamo down before president obama leaves offers or if this is a sign that the obama administration is taking it seriously. on the one hand, they say they want to release those cleared for release, on the other hand, the department of justice and department of defense is going to court bl
