to have you on again to really dig into this and sadly i moved when we saw brianna taylor and trayvon martin and all of them i don't have high hopes for the outcome of this drought but we can keep our fingers crossed and keep fighting thank you so much for joining us today. and into . bro those of us north of the equator summer is just a few months away and with summer come swimming and who doesn't love to die in the mirror swimming pool or lake on a summer day well tragically however where there is water there hasn't been enough lifeguards especially in germany it seems but thankfully science ingenuity and robotics are here to save the day quite literally a team of researchers from the institute for advanced systems technology of the from home for institute has developed an underwater robotic system that can save drowning swimmers in both lakes and pooles using a combination of surveillance cameras and sound wave act goes in trials the man sized underwater vehicle was able to locate a swimmer in distress secure them in place and bring them to the surface in mere seconds it then chooses the

nations of the war but there was never any federal legislation we saw this at the killing of trayvon martin but there was never any thought or all of the sleigh should we see this with george floored on an international level but the question is here we are barely a year out from that death and still no meaningful federal legislation so if the officer is acquitted you will see the same old with them in the streets you'll see the same will people demanding change but then we have a recalcitrant government which was always intended to not do things america values racism far more than a value anything else so if you give a city like chicago the option of paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for the ability to continue to be racist they will absolutely do that if you give the federal government the opportunity to simply post a can down the road and set up military blockades to deal with the aftermath of what they intend to be an acquittal they will do that instead of simply addressing the underlying issue of race to congress arrive said their racism is the birth defect of a

very pro prosecution law of what we call felony murder. >> natalie, you were the lawyer for the trayvon martin family, the george zimmer man trial was also televised. what sort of impact does it have when people can watch this for themselves and people are watching all over the country and indeed in much of the world. >> i think it has a tremendous impact. it really shows what happened without the rumors, without everyone talking about it. you can see for yourself. we've seen the video. what we had never seen before was the dispatcher's video. that was something new. her audio where she called the sergeant and said that she thought there was an excessive use of force. i think this is why it's so important that we have this testimony, that the media are there in the courtroom so people can really see what is going on for themselves. >> natalie, how concerned are you potentially of a mistrial? it has to be unanimous decision by the jury. are you worried there could be one or two or three jurors who decide he's not guilty? >> i'm always worried about that. we've seen it over and over again. most

we saw that with trayvon martin and we see it with horrible endings in the case of trayvon martin. to tweet about it afterwards, that's a collective trauma, not just for her but for black women and black people who have to read that tweet and relive their own experiences on a daily basis. we see it all the time. we often times don't even talk about it because it's so commonplace in being black in america or being a person of color in american. asian americans are experiencing it as well. this idea that they are forever foreigner. we see it with the rise of attacks on them. latinos, latinx community, this idea they are immigrants and don't belong here. when we know latinx and black people and asian people have been here 15 plus generations. we have a deeper conversation we need to have about citizenship and who actually is a real american. that's everyone. we are a nation of immigrants. we have to talk to native americans and really think about the mass genocide on their land in our names. >> thank you, as always. >>> remembering bloody sunday for the first time without john lewis a

i think about trayvon martin. august wilson's artistic purpose i find myself thinking about trayvon martin and i want to know why the newspaper, why the media depicted him as such a monster deserving of such treatment when all i saw was a 17-year-old boy who had been followed home. right? empathy. that's what ideology has to do with. if ideologically we can construct the black experience as something that is hostile, something that is aggressive, something that is violent, then the treatment of black people becomes justified by our criminal justice systems, right? but if we can perform the narrative of blackness in such a way that it becomes universal, then maybe there can be empathy, maybe then we can get more -- we can get the rest of america to go, you know what, this demonizing of blackness that has happened on an ideological level, let's step away from that and let's find out -- oh, it's just a mother and a son. when we look at rose and troy in "fences," we're hearing the story of a man and a woman, right? th

. >> i compare a lot of myself to george floyd and michael brown and trayvon martin and those who have died to police brutality. to me it means-- it means change. >> reporter: there were three jurors selected today, including a woman related to a rural minnesota police officer. jury selection will continue tomorrow, despite prosecutors saying that the judge doesn't have jurisdiction over the case as they await a ruling on a lesser murder charge. norah. >> o'donnell: jamie yuccas, thank you. tonight, we're revisiting some of the predictions that were made a year ago, just before the covid outbreak forced the nation to lock down. we spoke then to a professor of epidemiology at harvard. cbs' jim axelrod revisits the health expert again tonight. >> reporter: if the images from a year ago shocked, stunned, and brought the country to its knees, then harvard epidemiologist marc lipsitch has a new picture to paint about covid. >> it won't be gone, but i think we'll be in a much more normal place in the fall. >> reporter: a striking contrast to the dire projectione this time last year. >> repor

they have what they have seen whenever we have had cases like this going all the way back to trayvon martin. taylor and now george boyd has a very real possibility that. the people may not get justice that the family of george boyd may not get justice and therefore the community could turn apoplectic as a result of that this is a cumulative impact that we have to come to grips with in the united states of america and a community of people specifically african-americans who are absolutely traumatized by a having to witness modern day lynching and then be not see the perpetrators of these lynchings held accountable so again. for a pill you're in the justices what about anticipating unrest we saw some locals board up their properties ahead of the trial we did see violence actually when the georgia incident took place originally do you think that will turn out to be a wise move. you know i don't i really don't want to speculate on what could or herb may not happen i mean i will say that i absolutely feel that it is warranted in justified for these community especially business owners to be as p

will be able to judge the system better known when it dealt with these types of issues since the trayvon martin case almost 2 years ago and this case is going to take about 4 weeks once again this case is really going to come down to about holmes amber the medical experts what the experts out say and also there's another part of this case some port some required to use force and that's the individual that will say that. was not one police policy or the we were not parents if he was found police powers you know i think you have a stronger defense to say they are forced this will play out what we term for we finally hear over and we'll be watching very very closely indeed here and out of there ivan bates the former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney great to your thoughts here on out as they are thanks for being with us. now the president of chile says he'll ask congress to postpone next month's election because of a segue in coronavirus cases sebastian pinera out once the vote for an assembly to write a new constitution to be moved from april to may should i has seen a new way of infection

results that you and i have saw far too many times where there's philando castile or where there's trayvon martinere there's alton sterling. so we have to have people show up for jury duty, and i'll just say this. one of the hardest things for a black lawyer to do is to go into the courtroom with his black client or black cause, and the only other thing in the courtroom black is the judge's robe. so we need people to answer jury summons and serve on jury duty. >> the mother of eric garner, gwen carr, giving a warning ahead of this trial. i want you to listen to it. >> don't think that this is a slam dunk because we know once you get in court, they try to assassinate the victim again. first they murder him. they assassinate him on the street. then they want to assassinate the character. and, you know, we just need a justice system that is true, that is fair to all people, not just some. >> you've already heard some of it, and i wonder your concerns. have you heard some of the things about, oh, there may have been drug use. there was drugs in the car, on and on, the character assassination that she

so many different people we've seen with tamir rice, trayvon martin, there have been so many instances of police officers and random white individuals shooting and killing black people and not facing any consequences. that in this particular instance where the entire planet watched an execution, if this man does go to jail is doesn't mean the system is fine. a couple of years ago, a police officer was accused of serially raping black women in the city. this may be a bridge too far, but it doesn't mean all the bridges that have been burned by the criminal justice system have been fixed with black america. >> tim miller you had a unique and searing experience within the last year of speaking to and with a focus group of specifically older white voters. i'm told there's no video or audio of this because it was a condition of them being able to speak freely and not be recorded doing so. but having experienced it, tim, what is that audience likely to take away from this trial? >> look, brian, it was one of the more shocking focus groups. we did a lot of them last year when i was working for

there's trayvon martin, freddie gray, michael brown. each one of them sort of boils down to a kind of power struggle in which we're -- when a white shootses and killing a black, it revokes imagery of our past, our shameful racist past, the oppression blacks is lived under and brings forward a moral power that is really considerable. so an event like this, freddie gray, is covered all over the world, there's so much power there. seems to confirm the idea that racism is systemic. that it touches every area of life. the minorities are not forever, almost for breathing air, victimized by racism. and therefore empowered to change society, to have an impact on society. and they do. look at what freddie gray has transformed corporate america already in a matter of months. major corporations have diversity programs, include programs, all sorts of symbolic gestures to indicate that they're not a part of that ugly shameful racist past. >> martha: you see an impact in schools and curriculums. you know, cancel culture and all of that, don't you? >>

i want to bring in natalie jackson, former co-counsel for families of trayvon martin, breonna taylor or and others. and cheryl door see, retired lapd sergeant and author of the book "black and blue." natalie, let me play some video shown by the prosecution in the course of today's trial. watch this. >> look at it. look at it. man. don't do that to me. i am scared as fuck, man. i am going in. please. i am not trying to win. >> claustrophobic. yeah, i am claustrophobic. put me in the front, please. >> no, you're not getting in the front. >> i am not a bad guy, man. i am not a bad guy. ah! man. please, officer, please. >> take a seat! >> please. >> take a seat. >> i can't choke, i can't breathe, officer, please. my wrist, man. ah, i am going down, i am going down. i am going down. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> so painful, so hard to watch. natalie, what stands out to you from seeing that video that was introduced as evidence today? >> the video that you just showed, it shows me a man in distress. there's already been some evidence that he was intoxicated and i'm sure there's more

fighting for justice on behalf of her son -- i can't help but think about breonna taylor's mother, trayvon martin'sbut killings nonetheless, unjustifiable. >> uh-huh. well, inside a thread of courage from mamie till, who lost her son, emmett till on the eve of the civil rights movement, through bulamae done. through glenn car. through the lives and the tragedies of so many mothers who are fighting for justice on behalf of their children. note this. bulamae donald decides to bury her son with an open casket, to hold a funeral with an open casket like mamie till with respect to emmett till. >> wow. >> so this is a story of courage of yes, one woman, one mother, that is a testament to the courage of many women, many mothers that speaks to us in this moment. >> cornell brooks, thank you so much. i look forward to this original series, the people versus the klan that premiers sunday april 9th at 11 p.m. i'm fredricka whitfield. thank you today. ana cabrera next. >>> hello on this sunday. you are live in the "cnn newsroom." chinese i'm ana cabrera in new york. a state of emergency declared in miami beach

michael brown and trayvon martin. the figure plummeted by 30 points. much of it during the obama administration. continuing to hammer on this falsehood is doing nothing but dividing americans. it's not solving any problems. >> shannon: they spent a lot of money trying to secure the area. mike tobin just reported. days and weeks on the ground as we watch the destruction that affected people of every race and background. business owners great and small who were devastated by what happen. today this is what we hear about the area. the "washington examiner" says black lives matter entity for activists shutdown street surrounded the courthouse for several hours. chanting and marching up and down city blocks calling for justice and the guilty verdict against chauvin. there are those who don't like the perception of how it's being set up but there are others showing up and we are told that they were peaceful. they want to be heard and they say justice will only be a conviction. >> recurrence of what you think about the case, there's a trial that's coming. the

trayvon martin was killed when they were like 13. they don't have a lot of faith in this country.urdered and massacred by cops and random individuals for the last seven or eight years of their life. they don't believe in this place and they don't have a reason to. one of my greatest challenges is telling them that this system is worth fighting for and it can be changed. because no evidence has been presented that it works if you have been watching viral videos of black people getting killed and followed by a man like donald trump getting elected, you don't believe much in the american dream right now. >> all i know is your students are lucky to be in your class, dr. jason johnson. congressman david jolle, gentlemen, thank you both very much. coming up for us, the latest on the story everyone has spent today talking about. about last night. when we come back. want to save hundreds on your wireless bill? with xfinity mobile, you can. how about saving hundreds on the new samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g? you can do that too. all on the most reliable network? sure thing! and with fast, nat

he helped the legal defense in the killing of trayvon martin. gentlemen, great to see you.i want to start with you. how do you think the defense team is doing with these witnesses and trying to depict them as a distracting, at best, and, at worst, angry mob. >> i think they need to be careful with their philosophy of the case. don't forget the only people that count here, even though there's a lot going on, outside the courtroom, the only people who count are those 12 people that they're talking to. if those 12 people are listening to an emt, listening to the girl who did the videotaping, if they see the defense attacking them for not good reasons, then they're going to turn against them. and the credibility that the defense team has, which will drip over onto the defendant, is so important, particularly in the early stages. don't forget, lawyers are sort of seen to be arrogant and all that to begin with, so we can't feed into that. these people are not necessarily hurting the defense right now. it is what it is. arguing that there is an angry mob, particularly with a racia

experience individual these black lives matter cases tamir rice, that could be our baby you see trayvon martin, that beautiful face you relate because you relate to them isn't the challenge here that the one person who couldn't seem to relate to george floyd's humanity -- well, the four people are these officers. meanwhile, a juror today halted the trial because the juror had a stress-related reaction. this is a white woman in her 50s and suffered what the judge called a stress-related reaction and had been having trouble sleeping and had been awake since 2:00 a.m. and isn't that the crux of the case, right? the four people that needed to see george's humanity didn't >> i definitely think that that is a very significant and impactful point and i think the prosecution is layering that in by having each one of these bystanders that had such a different experience and different training and different background still, each one of them had a visceral reaction to what was happening. they all came to one general body and consensus of thought that this is unacceptable and that's significant and that'

he's represented the family of trayvon martin as well as the families of victims of violence, including breonna taylor and jacob blake. thanks for coming on the show. what is your takeaway from day one of this trial? >> well, i thought that the prosecution was very powerful from beginning to the end of the day. with the opening statements where they educated all of us that it wasn't 8 minutes and 46 seconds, but it was 9 minutes and 29 seconds that derek chauvin tortured george floyd to death with his knee on his neck. and then the first witness was a bombshell. the fact that this 911 dispatcher said that i didn't want to be a snitch, but i knew what i was witnessing in that video was wrong. they were killing a man. and so i thought that was so impactful to start the trial off. and they ended the trial very powerfully with donald williams, when he talked about the humanity within him that after he went fishing and watched a fish suffocate from lack of oxygen, and then to witness a human being, george perry floyd jr., suffocate from a lack of oxygen, how you can't be human and that don't

>> i will tell you this, brian, candidly, with a group of students who were 18, 19 years old, trayvon martin killed when they were like 13. they don't have a lot of faith in this country. they've seen nothing but black people getting murdered and massacred by cops and by random individuals for the last seven, eight years of their life. they don't believe in this place. they don't really have much reason to. one of my greatest challenges as faculty is to tell them that this system is worth fighting for and that it can possibly be changed because no evidence has been presented that it actually works. if your lifetime has been spent watching black people get killed in viral videos for the last seven, eight years of your existence followed by a man like donald trump getting elected, you don't believe much in the american dream right now. >> all i know is your students are lucky to be in your class. dr. jason johnson, congressman david jolly. gentlemen, thank you both very much. coming up for us, the latest on the story everyone spent today talking about. about last night. when we come back. when

unlike trayvon martin and other cases, when we have a tape, the public has seen the tape, the jury will see the tape, that makes this case a lot different than other tapes. so whatever justice that comes out in this case needs to be consistent with the tape that we all are going to see and so that's what's important. >> daryl, the country, of course, is watching. as much as this trial is about the guilt or the innocence of chauvin, many will look at it as a barometer of racial change in the country. you've been involved in a lot of high-profile cases before. what does this trial mean for this moment in america? >> well, this trial, i think, is the culmination of all those cases in the past where in this case we were all sitting home last year, we saw what happened to george floyd, we saw it time and time again and the country responded. unlike previous times we all had a time to really let it marinate in our minds what we were seeing and the country responded. so that's what makes george floyd very different. now we have a videotape, but also we're about to have gavel-to-gavel coverage

we saw it with trayvon martin, with michael brown, with eric garner.ssassinated an unarmed black person. then they come and assassinate his character to try to get away with the crime. we know they're going to call george floyd everything but a child of god. they're going to try to say everything else other than why you should not focus on what happened on that video. when i was in law school, they taught us if you have the facts on your side, you argue the facts. if you don't have the facts on your side, then you try to attack the character of your opponent as a way to distract people from focusing on the facts. where 50 million people saw the video of george floyd people tortured by derek chauvin with his knee on his neck. we won't be distracted from those facts. >> how important is it to you to get the third-degree murder charge in there? >> it's very important, katy, because, as attorney general keith ellison, the first african-american attorney general in the state of minnesota, he has tried to make sure the jury has all options available to hold

lawyers are going to try to do on george floyd because that's the playbook, ari, whether it's trayvon martinnumber of people killed by the police which is if we can distract them by attacking their character then maybe they won't pay attention to the facts, but 50 million people saw the video of george floyd being killed and we believe that they will focus on the facts. >> ben crump, you have been with the family. you've worked on these issues for a long time including the inception of this incident and then case. i appreciate you coming on the beat. i'm sure we'll be coming back to you, sir, when your time allows. >> thank you so much for having me, ari. >> yes, sir. thank you, ben crump. >>> coming up, there is a friend of the beat that's going to give us an important message. i'm talking about carole king on vaccines. g about carolein kg on vaccines alright, okay. how's that? is that how you hold a mirror?

you hear about the death of a philando castile or a trayvon martin or sandra bland, you hear their names, but it didn't really stop you. and now i think, you know, what we've seen happen this year has stopped us. we're already still so, it just stopped us, and we had to pay attention. and that verse, i was really kind of saying hey, there is a lot going on over here. and we really struggling to get. my people on the low end trying to ball and get over. lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldier. there is people dying. my people, i was really addressing those things and bringing that attention. i think hip-hop is so powerful because we need to hear the truths, and we need to hear them in a raw, in an unapologetic, in a way that can actually hit your heart and your soul. >> yeah. >> so that's what hip-hop has provided us, what i was striving to do. >> and you're doing that then. and then in beautiful revolution, your new work, you're hitting a new altitude. you just name names that people should or do know. >> right. >> then here in fallen, you're at a different altitude. once upon a ti

some of the difficulties that we've had with police accountability cases in the past, like with trayvon martin that you and i both talked about at length when it was happening. one of the criticisms that i had ad nauseam was the fact that the advocates in that courtroom shied away from dealing with race directly and having presented that to the audience of the jurors. so i'm curious to see what that's going to look like. >> even with the video, it's going to be that hard you think? >> well, the standards are still what would a reasonable officer do under those circumstances. and as we have had videos in the past without accountability, as we have had testimony in the past without accountability, as we've had evidence in the past without accountability for police officers, there is a bias and a preference that is given to police officers when they are in a courtroom, especially when they are executing their job, no pun intended. and so in this case while the judgment seems clear to us, we've been down this road before. we've seen this judgment. we've held these opinions. and we've been surprise

we had to fight in public discourse to have it called the zimmerman trial instead of the trayvon martins knee and killed george floyd. as we begin jury selection next week, what needs to be the strategy for activists who are concerned about police violence? we're all going to be riveted to this case but what are some things that people on the ground are going to be doing to make sure the public attention stays on this and this trial doesn't somehow disappear into all the other tragedies and difficulties we're facing in the country right now? >> well, we have developed strategy, many of the civil rights groups, many of us that were involved with the family of making sure that we are visible but nonviolent. because we do not want to have the perception that george floyd was in any way acting in a way that they had to hold him down and put his knee on the neck. so, you cannot go out there and do violence and get in the way of bringing the facts to the jury that this was not about a policeman defending himself. this was about a policeman that for eight minutes and 46 seconds kept their knee

from texas, it text -- "i will not be watching the trial of chauvin because it will be another a trayvon martinrial. he will not be convicted and that is a shame another -- that and that is a shame." another -- "i will not be watching the trial of shoving because it will be another -- i don't care what george floyd had in his system. it doesn't account for him getting killed like he did." david, what are you thinking? caller: good morning. it has been really interesting. i only had saw a little bit of the murder in 20. i heard about it. yesterday was the first time that i saw anything substantial, really, when they would have the witnesses and during the opening arguments. i think that it was really interesting, when they did the toxicology and they talked about the methamphetamine and the fentanyl. i am an addict. i don't use anymore, but once an addict, always an addict. i do know that the attorney, when he is talking about fentanyl -- when you are on it, you are not competitive and you're definitely that you're not combative and you are definitely not talkative like floyd was when he was on
