about what happened to george floyd, brnna taylor, ahmaud arber rayshard brooks, what happened to tony mcdade and others is about extrajudicial killgs. it's about whether our justice system, when it comes to criminal activity, whether it works. and right now it does not for too many people, whether it's justice in our elections, justice in our economy, stjustice in our criminal e system across the board, our responsibility as americans is to fix these problems so that every american can actually fulfill their full potential. >> i was so struck in reading this book, your new book, how you were first drawn to activism r in the wake ney king's beating by police in los angeles. do you find echoes in the current protests with your protesting as a college shooting for rodney kin >> absolutely. i actually began my activism long befe that. my parents were very engaged as teenagers in the civil rights mo. so i grew up with a very healthy appreciation for activism and protesting. but the first decision i made on my own without my parents telling me we were gonna go do this was when i protested in thwak

few people are talking about tony mcdade, the black trans man who was murdered by the tallahassee police department less than 18 hours after having been the victim of a hate crime, because tony is a black trans man. few people are talking about the fact that just last week, on friday, around the anniversary of the pulse nightclub massacre, on the same day that the current occupant of the oval office issued an order attacking critical health care for trans two blackere were trans women who were recently murdered. what i am highlighting is that the many ways in which white supremacy and anti-blackness, and the systems have been designed to control our bodies and profit from our labor. it is important for us to have these conversations, especially because they make people uncomfortable. is theavid johns director of the national black justice coalition. we thank you for having this conversation with her viewers. appreciate it. guest: my pleasure. thank you for making space. encourage everyone to do the actualork of finding studies, of being a student of our history, and appreciating that we

george floyd by police officers, the protesters are remembering people like breanna taylor and tony mcdade like jimmy milbank and charles. people who should be household names and known for what happened to them and how they were killed but are not. the other reason i think the protests are happening is tied up with this racialized inequality at the heart at the coronavirus too. so the reason i mention this in relation to the economy is that if are thinking about the coronavirus, more work needs to be done on this. but we can look at the fact that the coronavirus doesn't discriminate by society does. if we are thinking about things like poverty and overcrowded housing disproportionately people of colour in particular black people in the uk who are bearing the brunt of that. disproportionately affected. so when we are thinking about any kind economic recovery actually those protest and what is happening around the coronavirus in terms of inequalities are not should be divorced. 0ur inequalities are not should be divorced. our economy is in class and racialized. if we are thinking about any

tony mcdade, brianna taylor. i see this as a celebration for all of them, but we can't act like george floyd it the only one. if we want to uplift this, we have to think about all of the people dying at the hands of police. >> we are learning some new and harrowing new details about ahmaud arbery. how disturbing are these new details that came out in today's hearing? >> i say this on the air often because i want it to sink into people's psyche. but there are a large group of people who do not give black people humanity. that means you can't put your knee on george floyd's neck for 8:42 and think he's human. in the arbery case, one of the gentleman stood over him and called him tan f-ing nigger. none of these people got the benefit of that. to think about the last words that arbery probably heard, for someone to stand over them and kill them and say these things, that for me is visceral. so you go from grief to anger. to be black in america, you will have to text me because you go through a wide range of emotions.

that we recognize when it comes to those who have been subjected brutality, but other names like tony mcdadea black transgender made shot by tallahassee police last week. they want to call attention to his case, as well as many others in the context of george floyd and many others who they want to address with the lapd, as well as all the communities that have come together. >> okay. suzanne malveaux, you can really feeling that energy in the crowd there. thank you. these live protests today aren't just in los angeles. this hour there are protests in other parts of the country as well. we'll hear from one about why they're out on the streets. we'll go to the east coast when we come back. stay with us. a has clinically pn ingredients that fuel five indicators of brain performanc: memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. t-mobile and sprint to power your business. we're building a 5g network that will deliver unprecedented reach and reliability, and the highest capacity in history. with more coverage and more bandwidth to kee

breonna taylor and ahmaud arbery and rayshard brooks just in the last month or so, what happened to tony mcdadeat part of the de humanization that we experience with covid transplate-- translates into how we are viewed by those that are charged with protecting us. that police brutality, systemic injustice, systemic inequity are all part of the original sin of america, which is the deval yaition and de humanization of people of color, primarily and most clearly black people. >> trevor: atlanta has become a hot bed of these conversations. georgia has become a hot bed of these conversations. everything from ahmaud arbery to rayshard brooks as you just mentioned has thrown atlanta into turmoil. you know, you have had police officials resigning. you have had the mayor coming out and condemning the violence and it feels like atlanta is more on edge than we have seen, i mean, almost ever. when you look at what has happened, what is happening and the conversations around it, where do you think america needs to go? where do you think atlanta need toses go, where do you think georgia needs to go. >> i ap

they say they are outraged by the deaths of george floyd, breonna taylor and tony mcdade.rganizers say those killings are just the latest example of systemic violence against black people. we will continue to monitor this ongoing vigil happening in downtown oakland. people gathering at the latest demonstration in the wake of the killing of george floyd. we see people holding a vigil and honor of like people across the country who have lost their lives as a result of police brutality. and obviously, people bringing these issues to the forefront with a vigil happening on 14th street. we will monitor these live pictures from our chopper ambiguity updates throughout the newscasts. >>> san jose city leaders in the police department continue dealing with fallout over of fo floyd protest that happened back in may. jesse gary is joining us live from san jose with the late details from that city council meeting. what's happening? >> reporter: alex, good afternoon. the san jose mayor says he favors increased training and changes made to the use of force policy in the police departme

the end of the day we have to be able to say to philonise floyd and breonna taylor's family and tony mcdade's family that we actually did something that made a difference. i remember on the judiciary committee when philonise floyd said to us, do not let my brother be just a face on a t-shirt or a name on someone's lips. this is the time that we have to make substantial change. so no, we're not going to compromise for half measures, but of course this is always a process and we will do -- you know, we will see what we can do. but the vast majority of people across this country know that things like chokeholds are wrong and the republicans are wrong to continue to insist on these -- you know, on these half measures that really make no change whatsoever. >> i want to ask you about what's going on in your home state of washington state and the so-called autonomous zone. seattle's mayor has basically said it's time for people to go home. meaning it's time for the protesters to disperse and there have been incidents of violence. if people don't voluntarily go home, how does this end? >> well, i hav

does not bring back tony mcdade, the trans man murdered in tallahassee two days after george floyd. we have to change the hearts and minds and a lot of intersectional work to do around racial and economic justice in this country as well. >> such important reminders. laverne cox, thank you for taking time today. i know how busy you must be today. thanks for joining us. >>> everyone, check out laverne's documentary "disclosure" later this week. >>> coming up, outrage intensified after another black man is shot dead by a police officer in atlanta. that shooting already rule add homicide by the medical examiner there. time for change. all that is next. stay with us. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. around you crazy. people are normal then they hang out with you and then they're jack nicholson in "the shining". i'm gonna tell my mom you tried to drown me. it's an above ground pool! you're like eight feet tall! i see all the amazing things you have been doing. you are transforming business models, and virtualizing workforces overnight. because so much of that relies on

it is what happened to george floyd, what happened to breonna taylor, what happened to tony mcdade.is important that we see immediate response, but what we need to see is systemic response. we need to see the laws change, not just moments of action, which are good and important, but we need to see that there is wholesale change in the system of justice that either allow extrajudicial killings of citizens or permit justice to be delayed because we have laws on the books that protect murderers. while i do think that there are some good initial steps being taken, i think we will not see and know that true systemic change has happened until we see legitimate, permanent legislative opportunities offered and we see that that legislation is not only adopted but pursued and maintained. judy: in that connection, vice president biden has spoken out, deplored this shooting and others. he has said he is not for defunding the police, but he has spoken up for certainly reforming police departments, for training. however, we now see dozens of liberal activist groups saying that vice president bide

a lot people don't know of tony mcdade, a black trans man shot last week by tallahassee police and his as well as those of jf jgeorge floyd an many others. >> what happens a lot, when these things hab is transient and out of sight, out of mind when it happens. for those of us in community it's always in the back of our minds and in the forefront now. i can't wake up one week without having a death in the lgbtq community. especially people of color, no one paying attention except us. right? now with everyone seeing it hopefully there can be some change. i have hope. >> reporter: hopeful and colorful atmosphere. seeing a lot of folks here who have had a celebration a good time as well. thank you for joining us. >> appreciate it. >> reporter: appreciate it. ana, as you know, there have been changes that has happened already in los angeles dealing with the police department as well as reallocation of funds. that really is part of what the crowd is celebrating as well. that being out here has made a difference and now they're able to get many different groups together to push this forward i

and for tony mcdade in tallahassee. for so many others, chris, who never went viral, and who don't have videos. this is the burden that we're carrying. and to compound all of that with what's happening with coronavirus, it is just maddening. and i am sitting here, in front of you, with, like, just a heaviness on, like, on my chest. i could feel the pressure all day. i was crying, and i would say for no reason but there are for so many reasons. there are thousands of reasons for my tears. and they're all people who i haven't met, but we're bound together by a common thing, called injustice, that has been the very foundation of this country, for 400 years. and so, here we are, now, trying to figure out how we're going to get justice in a place that has never given us justice. we continue to hold out hope for a space that has never really honored that. if we're honest, chris, the biggest piece of legislation, the most -- the largest landmark legislation that has ever impacted black america is the 1964 civil rights act. we

this point because we have had murders in this country of people like george floyd, people like tony mcdade, people like breonna taylor. and we should just know in this moment, even though it is an inflection point, it will take a lot of courage and political will to start to change the rules that are shaping our lives right now. frankly, i'm very heartened by the conversations that are happening across the country. i'm heartened by a lot of the activity that's happening, the multiracial character of who is out in the streets raising their voices and demanding change. and i'm also hopeful that we don't shy away from this moment. you know, it doesn't -- it's not lost on me that at a certain point in this country, everybody said that, you know, ending segregation was not possible. that we were scared to do it because there were all of these risks that could be contained within it. but frankly, having the courage and moving the political will to end segregation in this country was a good move for everybody. and so i hope we take that history lesson into the present and start to reimagine how i

31, and we have uplifted a lot of things on today's panel discussion, but i also want to uplift tony mcdade in tallahassee, janel floyd, who was killed in a brooklyn jail yesterday. if you have seen the video of the seven-year-old first grader, miss winter, that's why she was at the protest. i did not get into activism until i got into college, and we have babies, children, who are forced to live in this moment of trauma and create an analysis too early when they should be watching cartoons and celebrating summer break. i have nephews, eight and nine, who are so politically charged, not only around the comments of the commander in chief in the white house, but also they are having tough discussions with their peers about police violence and black lives matter. that's not fair for any of us, and it has a long-term, traumatic impact on our community. i want us to acknowledging that what we are watching in terms of protest, we saw the entire country and flames in 2014 after the murder of michael brown, this is not foreign to us. the first take away is for everybody to make sure that after you

protesters out in the streets, and the smallest of fractions of names that must be said, george floyd, tony mcdade, countless others that are all victims of police violence. this debate that we are having cannot happen in a vacuum divorce from what is going on in america streets. this is not about content versus tech, i am here to talk about how section 5:12 impacts more than over 229 million adults that use the internet is more than a delivery system. they use it to pay bills, work, learn, socialize, receive health care, and yet they are missing from the copyright offices 5:12. they are missing from the systems and procedures that govern their rights, and the debate on capitol hill. i am thankful to be here representing them today. reforming the system requires that we acknowledge the way it breaks down. in particular, there are three problems for user speech. that dmca the notices, the inappropriateness of giving private third parties to without any width of due process remove of families access to broadband. we have to acknowledge that bad dmca form are real, they have a variety of causes, it a

and brown people including transgender black and brown people and dominique fells, rhea melton, tony mcdadeit's so important to recognize the importance of protecting people's lives and what the trump administration has done this week by the reversal of the hhs rule that protects transgender people in health care has been to strike out, to deny, the provision of those most basic needs. we see this administration targeting health care and even shelter coming up as well in proposed rules by hud. it's a tragedy and we have to, absolutely, stand up and make sure that we have the tools to protect such a vulnerable community. >> let me point up on the point that jennifer raised in terms of standing up. what does standing up look like this to administration? folks that are watching this at home that want to help, what can they do in the middle of this national discussion that's taking place about so many injustices in our country? >> well, i think it's a great question because, you know, it's important to remember that, again, this is a pattern of operation by the trump administration. they consis

few people are talking about tony mcdade, the black trans man who was murdered by the tallahassee policeless than 18 hours after having been the victim of a hate crime because tony is a black trans man. few people are talking about the fact that just last week, on friday, around the anniversary of the pulse nightclub massacre, on the same day that the current occupant of the oval office issued an order attacking critical health care for trans people, there were two black trans women who were recently murdered. what i am highlighting is that the many ways in which white supremacy and anti-blackness, and the systems have been designed to control our bodies and profit from our labor. it is important for us to have these conversations, especially because they make people uncomfortable. host: david johns is the director of the national black justice coalition. we thank you for having this conversation with her viewers. appreciate it. guest: my pleasure. thank you for making space. encourage everyone to do the tough work of finding actual studies, of being a student of our history, and appreci

a peaceful response to the injustice of the murder of george floyd, breonna taylor, che taylor, tony mcdade and that has taken far too long in seattle. >> and obviously, as you know, there's that new bill that is going through congress, at least led by house democrats, who want sweeping reforms of policing in this country, no-knock warrants, a ban on those, a ban on chokeholds, you know, all kinds of reforms that are out there but the reality of it is, so much of this happens on a state and local level. how do you take what you are doing in washington, d.c., and make sure that some of the counties, police departments on the city level actually implement them? >> well, you have to have both. you have to outlaw some of these things federally, and then you also need to give more jurisdiction to state attorney generals and others who are trying to prosecute, which we do in the bill, and then you have to have a component that is around investing in local communities. so, the bill -- the justice in policing act, the democrats have written and we invite republicans to come into is really comprehen

the protests today against the deaths of george floyd, rayshard brooks, breonna taylor, tony mcdade, ahmaud arbery, mcquan mcdonald, tamir rice, sandra bland and so many other black men, women, and children are in fact a tipping point. let's not look away from this historic moment of change. let the senate join on the right side of history. let's not let a setback ow -- oa procedural setback on the floor of the senate stop us from finding some common ground to move forward. let us acknowledge the rightness of this month's supreme court decision and pass the equality act to make it plain that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal and will not be tolerated, not just at place of employment but all across america in every walk of life. and let us add to end violence and oppression against our black and brown brothers and sisters. let us do our part in our time to make the noble promises of our founders real for all americans. mr. president, i ask that the following statement be placed in a separate part of the record. the presiding officer: without obj

we are here today for george floyd, breonna taylor, tony mcdade, john t williams, and all the names thatwe will never know whose lives were cut short by police. we are here to answer the cries for justice we have heard in streets across the country. with the george floyd justice and policing act. hey bill the new york times -- a bill says the near time says is the most aggressive towards police in recent memory. i am grateful for your hard work to bring this bill forward. in my district, people of color are 30% more likely to have police point a firearm at them then white people. seattle is 7% blank. like people accounted for nearly 29% of the incidents of use of force. we have been under a consent decree for eight years. while we have made some important progress, the truth is we are far from finished. the immediate use of force on the streets to the peaceful protesters show us the work we need to do. what we see locally traction actually -- tracks nationally. a report found an increased likelihood of police use of force against people of color, people with disabilities, lgbtq people, p

have31 years old and we uplifted a lot of names on today's panel discussion, but i tony to uplift 2 mcdade, there was a -- i-year-old first grader am reminded that i did not get into my activism until i got into college. forced children who are to live in this moment of trauma earlyeate an analysis too when they should be watching cartoons and celebrating summer break. i have two nephews who are eight years old and nine years old or so politically charged right now not only around the comments, the tweets, and the actions of commander-in-chief, but also the tough discussion they're having with their peers about police violence and black lives matter. that is not fair for any of us. it has long-term traumatic impacts on our community. acknowledge that what we are watching over this weekend in terms of protests is not foreign to us. the whole country was in flames in 2014 after the murder of michael brown. , the important take away is for everybody to make sure that after you build community, after you go outside for a protest -- i went to one on thursday -- after you return back home and ma

they are also about tony mcdade, sandra bland, mike brown, atiania jefferson, walter scott, philando castile. ayana stanley jones, tamir rice, as well as shea taylor from my home state of washington. and the countless people, black people and people of color, the vast majority whose names we don't know, whose lives have been unfairly taken. even more important, these protests are driven by people, including many young people who are justifiably sick and tired of the systemic racism behind those killings that is deeply woven through the fabric of our democracy and our history and rightly believe we are not moving forward nearly fast enough. i know this is true in my home state of washington where according to data compiled by the mapping police violence database, between 2013 and 2019, black people were more than three times more likely to be killed by police, and it is beyond clear the disproportion ate impact of police violence on black communities as well as other communities of color is not some accident and speaks to a wrought deep in the design of our nation. so, mr. president,

gillibrand: the deaths of eric gardner michael brown breonna taylor george floyd tony mcdade, andrew kierce, and countless others are deeply disturbing and most unfortunately nothing new. the truth is that for every name we know, there are countless more that we don't. this type of oppression and brutality has been part of black american lives for far too long. it should not happen and in the horrific instances when it does, it should not take a viral video and a nationwide protest to get some measure of justice. we are at a moment of moral reckoning in this country and we must take action. our country needs bold reforms to address the systemic and institutional racism that plagues our criminal justice system. the justice in policing act 2020 introduced by my colleagues senators booker and harris would make crucial and much needed changes to address our nation's policing practices and policies. we should pass this bill as soon as possible. we were reminded sadly of the urgency of this legislation on friday when rayshard brooks was shot in the back by police in atlanta. it is clear we
